Blockchain technology has the potential to fundamentally change the way business is conducted, and to transform the foundations of our economic and social systems. The Blockchain Technologies: Business Innovation and Application online short course from the MIT Sloan School of Management draws on the work of leading MIT faculty and cryptoeconomics expert Christian Catalini, and examines blockchain technology from an economic perspective.

With a focus on its organizational opportunities and limitations, the program will equip you with the tools to leverage blockchain technology to drive innovation and efficiency in your company. On completion, you’ll be able to implement a blockchain-based solution to address a business problem within your own context.

This course is not technical, but rather focuses on the applications of blockchain technology for business. It’s geared toward leaders and managers seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of blockchain technologies in an economic environment, and to identify areas for implementation in their organization.

This program also counts toward an MIT Sloan Executive Certificate, which you can earn upon completion of four programs where at least three of the four come from your chosen certificate track and at least one is completed in person. Find full details here.
