دانلود کتاب فناوری بلاک چین برای مدیران

Introductions are dumb. Feel free to skip this one. However, if you feel like indulging me… Blockchain technology has been getting a lot of attention for its potential for being a disruptive technology, and for good reason, which will be explored in this book. The purpose of this book is to be a guide for managers and other decision makers, and not a technical treatise on the various intricacies of the different types of blockchains. However managers need to know a bit about the technology to be able to make informed decisions when they are considering these types of technologies, and how they may impact their strategies or capabilities in the application portfolios that they manage. My goal here is to make you more knowledgeable or at least as knowledgeable as the salesperson that will be attempting to sell you a blockchain-based solution. While you, dear reader, will not be asked to learn how to write a program or otherwise execute a technology implementation, you will need to know some things about the differences in the types of blockchains, the strengths and weaknesses of each, and the design trade-offs that were made in their creation. Not all blockchains were created equally. Thus, different types of blockchains may be more suited for different types of business problems. This book will explore how we got here (the technologies that blockchain is built upon); the different types of blockchains, more aptly referred to as distributed ledger technology (DLT); and then look at some of the use cases where DLT has been, or could be, applied. With this newfound understanding of the technology you can then have informed conversations with the vendors that are proposing DLT solutions for your company. Now, if you have been tracking DLT fairly closely and have a good grasp of the underpinning technologies, you may want to simply skip ahead to Section – Use Cases and Evaluation. Although it is my opinion that any manager assessing DLT should know enough to ask intelligent questions to vendors and have familiarity with the basics of the technology – to really get a good grasp on how products based on it may fit within your organizations portfolio – perhaps you prefer to learn by example (hopefully not bad ones!). Section 3 will explore some of the DLT use cases, where the technology may or may not fit, and you can judge for yourself, based on these examples, how other applications that are not explored within these pages may be of use to your organization.
