7.4 Limitations and Future work
First of all, owing to our sample size is too small to do the statistic analysis, the reliability and validity of our research can not be enough yet. Due to the same problem, the variation of proposed module after system improvement is significant. However, to include more users to the digital ecosystem, we may discover more findings that is out of our expectations or the result may be no longer significant. Consequently, we need to expand the participants in order to reduce the variability and normalize our samples.
Second, our framework is proposed for service designers, therefore, we assume that our readers have enough specialty and professional knowledge of their service design domain. That is really a limitation for general public and even junior designers who is interesting or eager to do the design of blockchain-based digital ecosystem. To generalized the research framework we had proposed, the instructions and guideline should be more easier to follow and more clearly for general public to comprehend. In this way, the concept of service design and improvement will be widespread to everyone’s mindset and further to advance service quality and perceived value of all services in the world.
