Summary
Rapid
advances are being made in blockchain technology, as evidenced both in the
number of published papers and the number of active researchers. Blockchain is
a foundational and platform technology considering its existing offerings and
it is expected to be a key enabling technology and a new general purpose
technology to revolutionize the business activities and interactions in the
future considering its economic, political, humanitarian, and legal system
benefits. Blockchain has diverse applications and has the potential to be
leveraged in different aspects of management and technology. For example,
blockchain characteristics such as decentralization, verifiability, and
immutability, can be utilized to ensure authenticity, reliability, and
integrity of data and business activities underpinning our modern society and
economy. All existing technological, management and engineering-related systems
and frameworks lack a revised understanding of blockchain-based constellations.
Yet, little is known about factors related to management and technical
decisions to adopt this technology and how it can ‘engineering’ be put into
better use to address current and emerging blockchain technology and
platform-related issues.
