Blockchain Technology for Managers
Blockchain is a technology that tends to be misunderstood by managers that need to make technology acquisition decisions.This book will provide readers with a basic understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), the technologies that underpin it, and the technologies DLT is built upon.The book is purposefully not a book on how to code or explore other technical aspects of blockchain (other than the fundamentals).Rather, it provides managers with the basic understanding of the architectures and consensus algorithms, how they work, the design trade-offs of each architecture type, and what problems and use cases the core characteristics of DLT are best suited to solve - providing business managers with the core information they need to ask the right questions of vendors when making business value assessments and acquisition decisions.

Introduction to Blockchain Technology
This book explores the fundamentals and applications of Blockchain technology.Readers will learn about the decentralized peer-to-peer network, distributed ledger, and the trust model that defines Blockchain technology.They will also be introduced to the basic components of Blockchain (transaction, block, block header, and the chain), its operations (hashing, verification, validation, and consensus model), underlying algorithms, and essentials of trust (hard fork and soft fork).Private and public Blockchain networks similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum will be introduced, as will concepts of Smart Contracts, Proof of Work and Proof of Stack. Blockchain is an emerging technology that can radically improve transaction security at banking, supply chain, and other transaction networks.It’s estimated that Blockchain will generate $3.1 trillion in new business value by 2030.Essentially, it provides the basis for a dynamic distributed ledger that can be applied to save time when recording transactions between parties, remove costs associated with intermediaries, and reduce risks of fraud and tampering.

Blockchain and the Digital Economy : The Socio-Economic Impact of Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt digital interaction across our economy and society.As the internet has changed our lives, the potential for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to do the same is considerable.Fred Steinmetz, Lennart Ante and Ingo Fiedler assess this rapidly developing technology and its imminent economic and societal impact. The ideas behind blockchain technology stem from an open-source movement and build on existing technology to facilitate the exchange of value in general and assets in particular via a protocol on top of the internet.Current platform-based business structures face the risk of being replaced by evolving decentralized ecosystems and individuals are set to become empowered by sovereignty over their digital data and footprints. The book begins by explaining the key concepts of blockchain technology and presents an overview of the involved technical and economic elements.These form the basis for a discussion of the socio-economic implications of this new technology.This is followed by an in-depth analysis of significant case studies in the sectors of energy, digital identity, capital markets, logistics and gambling that outline the risks and benefits of the technology.The book strives to be non-technical and accessible, and to demystify the functionalities of blockchains and their potential for a range of readers in the wider social sciences.

Blockchain Technology : From Theory to Practice
Blockchain is an emerging technology platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as the technology underlying the cryptocurrencies.The basic tenet of this platform is that it allows one to create a distributed and replicated ledger of events, transactions, and data generated through various IT processes with strong cryptographic guarantees of tamper resistance, immutability, and verifiability.Public blockchain platforms allow us to guarantee these properties with overwhelming probabilities even when untrusted users are participants of distributed applications with the ability to transact on the platform.Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.; the technology itself holds much more promise in various areas such as time stamping, logging of critical events in a system, recording of transactions, trustworthy e-governance, etc.It introduces theoretical and practical aspects of blockchain technology.The book includes an in-depth insight into the need for decentralization, smart contracts, consensus both permissioned and permissionless, and various blockchain development frameworks, tools, and platforms.It can be used as a learning resource for various examinations and certifications related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.This book explained the nuts and bolts of blockchain technology in lucid language to make students more familiar with the implementation perspective of this much-needed technology.
