{"product_id":"book-honh","title":"The Business Blockchain","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe definitive pioneering blueprint covering the what, why, and how of the blockchain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Business Blockchain\u003c\/i\u003e charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power, and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity of effects. Second, we shouldn't ask what problems the blockchain solves, because that gives us a narrow view on its potential. Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory, and mental boundaries.
