Many international organizations have indicated that blockchain technology is one of the promising technologies after the internet, and it would not only play a key role in global business activities, but also be a major driver to restructure current operating models of international economy. Recent development of the blockchain technology has advanced from the phase 1.0 specializing at crypto-currency to the phase 2.0, in which blockchain is combined with smart contract and has been applied in many industries other than finance. However, the blockchain is an emerging technology that has not yet industry standard and implementation guidelines. Thus, it is important for future technology diffusion to understand the influencing factors when enterprises considering to adopt blockchain. Applying fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method, this study interviewed 16 persons, including chief information officers of enterprises, blockchain experts, and managers of blockchain service providers, to explore and analyze the key factors while considering for introducing blockchain technology. The results indicate that when considering to implement blockchain, ''system quality'' and ''data quality'' are the most important dimensions. In terms of evaluation criteria, ''top management support'', ''data accuracy'', ''system efficiency'', ''reliability'' and ''data security'' are deemed as the top five criteria. In addition, according to the group analysis, it is found that service providers care more about ''portability'' and ''modularization'' than the other two groups. Furthermore, blockchain experts focus more on ''data privacy protection''. Besides, chief information officers consider about ''participant mutual trust'' the most. The results of this study could provide a reference basis to enterprises and technology suppliers for implementing blockchain technology applications. |
