MBA in a Day 2024 @ Bayes Business School (London, UK) - April 27, 2024

New technologies represent exciting opportunities to create new value for customers, employees and shareholders. They also offer new ways to exchange information, safeguard citizen data and overcome barriers to collaboration from a social welfare perspective. However, new technologies are almost by definition difficult to use, and plagued by exaggerated and misleading claims. Bad actors take the opportunity to capitalize on information asymmetries and make a profit from other people's suffering, creating more skepticism and stigma around nascent industries. How should managers, investors and entrepreneurs evaluate the emerging technology of blockchain? What key principles is the technology built around? What use cases does this technology enable? How can newcomers to the field stay safe and have fun? This is a 90-minute introduction to Blockchain & Blockchain-Based Businesses presented by Dr. Nettra Pan for Bayes Business School's MBA program.
