Applications of Blockchain Technology in Business: Challenges and Opportunities

Blockchain in Business, Explained with Real-World Reach

Applications of Blockchain Technology in Business: Challenges and Opportunities is a compact SpringerBriefs title that treats blockchain as a business technology first and a buzzword second. Mohsen Attaran and Angappa Gunasekaran build the book around a clear question: where does blockchain actually help organizations, and what does it take to put it to work well?

The result is a focused overview that starts with the foundations of blockchain and moves steadily into practical applications across finance, manufacturing, supply chains, government, healthcare, retail, cybersecurity, big data, and cloud-based systems. Rather than presenting blockchain as a cure-all, the book keeps an eye on the technology’s limits, adoption hurdles, and the conditions that shape success.
