Abstract

Virtual knowledge communities have become essential platforms for enterprises to facilitate knowledge sharing. However, due to the lack of effective incentive mechanisms, the traditional virtual knowledge community is generally inefficient in attracting high-quality content and maintaining enthusiasm for users’ long-term participation. To address these problems, we theoretically explore the characteristics and economic ecology of enterprise knowledge sharing based on blockchain tokens to promote its sustained development. Specifically, we examine the application scenarios of token-economy activities through system-dynamics simulation and discuss the development status and path of the economic ecology. In addition, we studied the blockchain token-based incentive and penalty mechanisms for virtual knowledge communities to better stimulate knowledge sharing. Finally, the research method is applied to the GienTech supply chain finance community website to validate the proposed model and analysis. The findings contribute to the existing literature and point enterprises in a new direction in designing more effective incentive mechanisms to improve knowledge-sharing in virtual knowledge communities.
