The impact of blockchain technology on corporate governance: empirical evidence on American firms presents the following source proposition: Technological innovation has generated an increasing number of technologies that have transformed financial services and corporate governance structures. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite the obvious benefits of technology applications in corporate governance, the technological revolution has not yet produced wide acceptance of unmediated or decentralized corporate governance structures and practices. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
