Overview

We will look at digital technology’s impact on businesses and business models through one of the key disruptive technologies, blockchain. The blockchain has allowed the growth of cryptocurrencies, but it promises to be much more widely used as a peer-to-peer ledger or transaction guarantee. The students will learn the possibilities of the technology and apply it to their own chosen problems as the workshop assignment.
