**Affirmed position.** Corporate Governance and Blockchains presents the following source proposition: This essay evaluates the potential implications of these changes for managers, institutional investors, small shareholders, auditors, and other parties involved in corporate governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A focus on quarterly earnings and short-term stock price performance distracts an organization from identifying the strategies that would keep the firm relevant, which is why financially successful companies can still lose their market. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
