商品描述
This book is called 'Blockchain - A Hype or a Hoax' has been published due to a gap in the book market to provide a material that is not only technical but also cater for business readers. I wrote this book by keeping in mind various stakeholder and current gap in Blockchain education as well as use cases implementation.
This book will carry a review of Blockchain technology, discussion on why POC fails, examples of use case that have been successful and failed, articulate a framework that should be used before deciding whether Blockchain is the right technology for transformation. It will use some strategic models and framework to assist organisations to see a fit score for their specific use cases.
This book will provide a guidance on how to create a Blockchain strategy, business case to pitch for the budget, a case study to apply the knowledge on practical use cases for Blockchain and also a technical overview of most of the Blockchain use cases in the market including Crypto, NFTs, DeFi, DAO, financial and non-financial industry use cases. etc.
This book will also provide a detailed overview of most of the mainstream Blockchain products available in the market currently and also how to get educated on Blockchain technology through commercial as well as freely available resources.
It will conclude with a clear direction along with do's and don'ts of using Blockchain. A financial and non-financial value add framework will be discussed throughout this book to assist the business leaders, programme managers, product managers and IT leaders to make strategic choices, business case and develop strategy for Digital transformation through the use of Blockchain.
The distinctive feature of this book will be critical analysis of Blockchain from technology and business perspective. It will be the first book to focus on business, technology and Blockchain selection framework. The most unique selling point of this book would be to apply Michael Porter's competitive advantage strategy theory on Blockchain use cases and impact on companies.
This book will be aimed at Technology students, Technology professionals, Blockchain and fintech consultants, Business leaders and anyone who is fascinated by Blockchain.
The prospective readers would read the book to grow their knowledge and improve fintech strategy. It will also be useful for anyone building business case to adopt Blockchain into the organisation.
