The accessible, non-technical guide to applying and benefiting from blockchain technology. Blockchain has grown at an enormous rate in a very short period of time. In a business context, blockchain can level the playing field between small and large organisations in several ways: Exact copies of the immutable, time-stamped data is held by all parties, all transactions can be viewed in real time, data blocks are cryptographically linked, all raw materials are traceable and smart contracts ensure no middle-men, ease of audit and reduced friction. The trust, transparency, security, quality and reduced costs of blockchain make it a game-changing technology that crosses sectors, industries and borders with ease. Even though the technologies are ready for adoption, businesses remain largely unaware of their full potential and effective implementation. End users require accurate and up-to-date information on the practical applications of blockchain ― Commercializing Blockchain provides it. A practical and easy-to-understand guide to blockchain, this timely book illustrates how this revolutionary technology can be used to transform governments, businesses, enterprises and entire communities. The author draws from his experience with global retailers, global technology companies, UCL Centre for Blockchain technologies, the government of the UK, Retail Blockchain Consortium and many other sources to present real-world case studies on the use and benefits of blockchain. Topics include financial transactions, tokenisation, identity management, supply chain transparency, global shipping and freight, counterfeiting and more.

The E-Revolution has changed the world of business for authors. The world has now changed and you can publish a book yourself online, easily, quickly and with you in control. The challenge is that whilst it is a lot easier now to create a book, people need to understand how to generate the demand for it, otherwise it is just going to sit there - nobody knows you, nobody knows what you want to say and nobody will hear your message. YouTube and other social media channels allow anybody to be a 'rock star', but as with your book, you are one of millions and you must have a marketing plan for your book. This book tells you, step-by-step what to do. Antony is a passionate Retail expert, with over 20 years experience in the retail industry, including 15 years learning from the large retailers (Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, Dixons Retail) and experience of smaller retailers, including the set up of a very successful online retailer.
