  bibo_abstract:
  - Market transactions are subject to information asymmetry about the delivered value
    proposition, causing transaction costs and adverse market effects among buyers
    and sellers. Information systems research has investigated how review systems
    can reduce information asymmetry in business-to-consumer markets. However, these
    systems cannot be readily applied to business-to-business markets, are vulnerable
    to manipulation, and suffer from conceptual weak spots since they use textual
    data or star ratings. Building on design science research, we conceptualize a
    new class of reputation systems based on monetary-based payments as quantitative
    ratings for each transaction stored on a blockchain. Using cryptography, we show
    that our system assures content confidentiality so that buyers can share and sell
    their ratings selectively, establishing a reputation ecosystem. Our prescriptive
    insights advance the design of reputation systems and offer new paths to understanding
    the antecedents, dynamics, and consequences to reduce information asymmetry in
    B2B transactions.@eng
