Blockchain technology is at the peak of hype and contemporary research area across the world. It is a distributed ledger that keeps records of transactions with verifiable and immutable structures and continuously grows with the new block of transactions. Blockchain provides better transparency, enhanced security and privacy, and true traceability over the traditional approaches. Due to its advanced and secure features, it is being used in various fields such as trade finance, digital transactions, the Internet of Things (IoT), the healthcare industry, and energy sector. Blockchain technology has a great impact in all its applied fields with the prominent features of privacy and reliability of data and transactions. This survey intends to present the architecture of blockchain, its potential applications, and practices in different domains other than cryptocurrency along with the platform of blockchain. This paper will explore some potential benefits of blockchain and some future directions and open challenges that are expected to come in future research.

A Survey of Blockchain Technology: Architecture, Applied Domains, Platforms, and Security Threats

Blockchain technology has received significant attention following the introduction of Bitcoin in 2008. In particular, the financial services industry has sought to capitalize on the underlying technology, known as distributed ledger technology, to generate new products, services, and innovative business models. In this article, through an in-depth investigation of the technology innovation evaluation process, we utilize a grounded theory approach to study 12 financial service organizations. This article is unique in that it explores the technology evaluation process concurrently as decision makers reacted to the potential uses, as opposed to a retrospective view after a technology innovation had been adopted. Evidence suggests that, organizations applied a specific process to determine the value of blockchain that consisted of understand, organize, and test, which collectively helped create the proof-of-value model. Surprisingly, we find that financial service organizations tend to view blockchain innovation as a lower priority due to the lack of a clear path to value. Additionally, financial service organizations consistently leverage industry consortiums to link to external knowledge and help with the decision-making process. Our findings have direct implications to both innovation researchers as well as practitioners seeking to evaluate blockchain technology.

Measuring Faculty Viewpoints to Optimize Success for Faculty Researchers: Does Creativity Matter?

A review of the innovation literature reveals theoretical models and success factors that pertain to the front end of innovation. However these models and factors fail to offer insight into factors large organizations consider when specifically performing the activity of idea selection. To bridge this gap, a grounded theory method was used to extract knowledge on innovation idea selection from 28 senior executives and innovation directors from 10 different, large organizations (defined as annual revenues greater than $1 billion). Analysis of the interview data resulted in the identification of 5 systemic and 4 implementation factors that large organizations consider when selecting innovation ideas. The 5 systemic factors are the critical selection factors that can be utilized by managers in practice. They include organization, customer, financial, strategic, and market/industry factors. The 4 implementation factors reflect novel findings related to the underlying issues with applying the systemic factors in idea selection. The implementation factors include innovation classification, innovation need, innovation support, and innovation alignment. Identifying critical decision making factors contributes to the innovation literature and provides large organizations with a better understanding of the selection phenomenon and enables them to apply selected factors to improve their current approach.

An Examination of Innovation Idea Selection Factors in Large Organizations

: Blockchain, also referred to as a distributed ledger technology, stores different transactions /operations during a chain of blocks in a very distributed manner while not having a trusted third-party. The Blockchain could be a chain of blocks each is being a storehouse that stores information pertaining to a transaction and links to the sooner block within the same transaction. These connected blocks form a sequential chain providing a pathway of the essential transaction. There are many threats and frauds detected in industry. A centralized database is employed by banking industry which makes the attacker easy to urge access to data and this makes the system insecure. the disadvantage of this centralized system may be reduced by reforming the system by implementing blockchain technology without using tokens. Blockchain uses decentralized architecture for storing and accessing data over the database. This reduces attacks on database hacked. Transactions done through the blockchain technology are verified by each block within the chain, which can make the transaction safer and help banking industry work faster. Proposed system aims at giving these functionalities in a very distributed banking industry using blockchain, which is able to be at par with this methodologies. It'll also concentrate on the restrictions while implementing blockchain and future scope.

Permission is granted to copy and distribute this article for non-commercial purposes, in both printed and electronic formats “The first, and most often wrong, question is, ‘How much is this worth?’” Chris Kay, the Chief Innovation Officer at the $50B health and wellness company Humana, shared his perspective on the criteria in selecting innovation ideas. Business leaders have a tendency to examine how much an innovation is worth in the early phases of innovation, but Kay argued organizations should focus measurements on customer desirability. During a one hour interview Kay discussed a number of interesting innovation topics including why asking “How much is this worth?” is the wrong question to ask early in the innovation process. Kay confirmed that the majority of value is created in understanding the customer experience and innovating around it. At Humana early metrics concentrate on experiential measures of member health. Experiential measures are driven by research and based on customer insights and unmet needs. Kay also discussed the importance of Co-creation, an innovation approach where Humana partners with smaller startup companies on new ideas. Humana’s innovation team seeks the best and brightest venture capital backed start-ups to form partnerships. Creating a shared view of success allows both the partner and Humana to capture knowledge, build value, and learn from failures. Decisions on these disruptive innovation ideas are typically made by a team of external partners, advisors, and leaders outside of Humana’s established lines of business. Innovation at Humana also occurs internal to the organization. Humana is a diverse health and wellness company with lines of business including health insurance, health data analytics, pharmacy, and healthcare service providers. Kay highlights the importance of working across horizontal lines of business in such a large organization to minimize the effects of innovating in silos. Working off of horizontal platforms allows the company to take advantage of diverse resources to gain synergies when pursuing innovation ideas. Innovation across horizontals also increases transparency and allows Humana to build a portfolio of innovation ideas. Chris Kay, Humana’s Chief Innovation Officer, shares insights into the innovation decision-making process, including strategies employed to bring consumer insights to action and examples of the development of innovation ideas.
