This book sets out to explain blockchain for the non-technical expert, to decipher the dense technicalities that dominate the field and to present the opportunities for busy professionals using practical applications and case studies.
Presented in a clear and structured way and with documented real-world cases, the book is a practical reference guide that can be used across different industries. It offers both a constructive and critical review of the pain points blockchain is facing today, illustrates the pitfalls as well as the opportunities for business and describes the steps towards overcoming them. It also aims to provide a unique view of both the intersection and synergy of blockchain with other emerging technologies and the wider digital ecosystem, as we see increasingly that blockchain alone won’t be able to deliver business solutions. Most important, the book identifies trends and a path for the future of blockchain and its impact on society as a whole.
Most blockchain books are concerned with either technicalities (coding books on how to write smart contracts) or high-level business concepts (decentralization benefts). Although both are valid and informative, there is a dearth of books that combine the two in an easily consumable manner for busy business technologists. The book you’re holding now aims to cover that gap. It takes a critical and business-focused view on how and where blockchain uses make a business case stand out in contrast to the current way of doing business. The book also excels in putting the blockchain frontier under the microscope. There is a lot of impactful work in blockchain research which is not viewed in the context of business impact; rather, it is only examined by practitioners in its technology development impact. This book brings a fresh understanding of the emerging blockchain research frontier and how these will impact businesses and industries.
The book is written for business audiences across all sectors. It is not a technical guide to blockchain, but it enables businesspeople to be better informed and prepared to plan ahead and develop strategies using blockchain.
