Applications of Blockchain Technology in E-Business Value Chains
Blockchain Technology (BCT) is explored as a substantial part of the next generation of the Internet affecting business models in e-business. This book explores the application of BCT in e-business focusing on the value creation. The research objective is to examine how and why BCT is used in e-business value chains. This objective is reached through a pragmatic multimethod approach combining four studies. Study 1 summarises the state-of-the-art of approaches to assess a BCT fit for a particular scenario and outlines shortcomings resulting from these approaches. Study 2 provides empirical insights into the usage of BCT in four e-business value chains based on the cases Theta (content), OpenBazaar (commerce), Presearch (context), and Crypviser (connection). Study 3 deepens the insights in the e-commerce value chain. By means of a qualitative content analysis of news articles, various BCT application domains for each e-commerce activity are presented. Study 4 narrows the perspective of analysis to e-negotiations, proposes a BC-based negotiation support system and examines its opportunities and challenges. Finally, an integrative discussion of the findings results in two explanations how BCT is applied in e-business.

Amazon KDP Algorithm
Unraveling the BookImagine a colossal digital marketplace where millions of titles compete for the fleeting attention of a reader-yet only a select few rise to visibility and profit. The mechanism determining this ascent is not guided by editorial wisdom or literary merit but by a non-human arbiter: Amazon's recommendation algorithm. In Amazon KDP Algorithm: Genres, Formats, and Key Success Factors, Abdellatif Raji provides a critical, data-driven deconstruction of how this algorithm functions and how authors can systematically align with its logic to achieve discoverability, engagement, and commercial viability. This work does not merely describe publishing tactics; it formulates an evidence-based epistemology of algorithmic publishing success in the twenty-first century.The Essence (80/20)1. Genre-Based Market GravityAmazon's algorithm disproportionately favors high-engagement genres, notably romance and thrillers, due to their cyclical consumption patterns and high sales velocities. These genres generate consistent user behavior-such as rapid read-throughs and series purchases-that reinforce their visibility through Amazon's "Customers Also Bought" and Best Seller Rank algorithms. The recursive nature of this success constitutes a self-perpetuating system of algorithmic reinforcement.2. Metadata and DiscoverabilityMetadata-comprising keywords, categories, subtitles, and descriptions-functions as the infrastructure of discoverability. Amazon's indexing and ranking systems rely heavily on the precision and alignment of metadata with user search intent. Strategic keyword optimization and accurate categorization significantly increase a title's chances of surfacing in relevant user queries, thereby amplifying its algorithmic visibility.3. Format and Algorithmic PriorityKindle eBooks, particularly those enrolled in KDP Select (and thus available via Kindle Unlimited), receive privileged algorithmic attention. Metrics such as KENP (Kindle Edition Normalized Pages) read and sales velocity inform ranking systems in near real time. Print formats, while valuable in niche categories like children's books and self-help, lack the promotional tools and ranking responsiveness that define the digital format.4. Reader Engagement and RetentionThe algorithm rewards behavioral metrics rather than aesthetic or literary ones. Key performance indicators include click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, page-read depth, and series follow-through. Titles that induce readers to read to completion, leave reviews, and consume related titles are algorithmically elevated irrespective of their literary quality.5. Algorithmic Responsiveness to TrendsThe system is reactive to real-time user behavior, including spikes in interest around emerging subgenres (e.g., "mafia romance," "progression fantasy"). Authors who align their output with these trend vectors and structure their metadata accordingly can capitalize on demand-driven algorithmic promotion.The Action Plan1. Align with High-Performing Genres Strategically2. Execute Metadata with Surgical Precision3. Prioritize Kindle eBook Launch with KDP Select Enrollment4. Optimize Reader Engagement Architecture5. Monitor and React to Market Trends DynamicallyBlind SpotA prevalent misconception is that superior writing quality alone suffices to gain algorithmic traction. However, the Amazon system cannot evaluate literary merit; it only interprets behavioral signals. Furthermore, authors often misapply metadata by chasing high-volume keywords without considering competitive saturation or alignment with actual reader expectations. Lastly, the exclusivity of KDP Select, while beneficial within Amazon, restricts broader market access and long-term strategic flexibility-an often-overlooked trade-off.
