Abstract

Adoption of blockchain technology has been widely construed as disruptive. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology. It is secure by design because of its cryptography and distributed consensus mechanism, which also offers anonymity, persistence, auditability and resilience. The construction industry adopts a project-based approach and globally has been considered as a fragmented sector, predominantly in unorganised space. Given these characteristics, the technology adoption has been slow. This study looks at the challenges and adopts interpretive structural modelling technique to understand the linkages between these barriers. This study can provide managerial insights into designing strategies for overcoming the barriers for adoption of this disruptive technology.

b区块链作为颠覆性技术对建筑业的影响
区块链技术的采用被广泛认为是颠覆性的。区块链是一种分布式账本技术。它在设计上是安全的,因为它的密码学和分布式共识机制,还提供了匿名性、持久性、可审计性和弹性。建筑业采用基于项目的方法,在全球范围内被认为是一个分散的行业,主要位于无组织的空间。鉴于这些特点,技术的采用一直很缓慢。本研究着眼于挑战,并采用解释性结构建模技术来理解这些障碍之间的联系。这项研究可以为设计策略提供管理见解,以克服采用这种颠覆性技术的障碍。
