Business leaders, and those who study them, have shaped the practice of management over the last 200 years of capitalism. The main theories and behaviors of managers, have worked well in building corporations, all pretty much hierarchical with power and wealth concentrated at the top. Blockchain pioneers like Joe Lubin of ConsenSys are putting those theories and practices to the test. In earlier modules, we looked at how Blockchain will disrupt the nature of the enterprise, not just how they'll raise funds or access credit, but how they'll create value, how they'll manage talent, and how they'll handle other resources. Algorithms could replace management altogether in many use cases. We looked at how Blockchain is changing the anatomy and physiology of the enterprise. In this module, we'll look at changes to executive functions. Starting with the top, the head office, the big cheese, the chief executive officer. Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, is a visiting lecture at MIT Sloan School of Management. He said "Navigating the balance between the hype and the promise of Blockchain is a key responsibility of a company's senior management team." So, what should the C-suite prepare for? Wladawsky-Berger said "Executives must decide whether they're companies should adopt blockchain early and start experimenting now, or wait until the technology matures and risk lagging behind more aggressive competitors." This module is designed to help you understand how senior management can balance the hype and the hope and make key decisions about Blockchain for their enterprise. Will walk you through operations, legal, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, IT, and human resources. You're welcome to explore as many of these roles as you'd like. However, for your graded assessments, only your top three scores will count towards your final grade. If you've got questions or comments, please post them to the discussion forum.
