I collected 30 blockchain job announcements from two popular job sites, LinkedIn, and [Indeed.com](Indeed.com), and then synthesized and organized the findings into two alternate paths that IS graduates may take to pursue careersin this industry: the business and management path requires minimal preparation for the IS graduates, while the technical path is more involved but feasible for them as well. The findings of this study are expected to be of practical help for the IS graduates as well as IS curricula committees in designing and offering courses in blockchain.  \nKeywords: blockchain, Ethereum, smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps)  \nIntroduction  \nA blockchain is a database or ledger shared among group of entities and distributed among the nodes of a peer-to-peer network (Hayes, 2023). The entities in the shared network may be organizations, applications, or individual users; and the ledger contains digital records of business transactions. One of the essential properties of this technology is that the data in a blockchain database is considered immutable, i.e., once a record is inserted in the database, it cannot be altered. Cryptography and other mechanisms are used to ensure that the history of previous transactions is maintained without any manipulations (Hertig, 2021) .  \nEnterprise blockchains are different from public blockchains. One fundamental difference between enterprise and public blockchains is that most enterprise blockchains are permissioned whereas public blockchains are not. Well-known public blockchain networks are such as those used by various cryptocurrency platforms. In permissioned blockchains, organizations have full control over the blockchain network membership and they enforce specific policies in order to meet any regulatory requirements and comply with the laws.  \nIn permissioned blockchains, users are authenticated to access the platform, and can access data and perform operations based on their roles assigned to them by the ledger administrators. (Oracle Corporation, n.d.). In a 2019 survey of global companies conducted by Deloitte (Deloitte, 2019) 53% of the respondents believed that blockchain technology had become a critical priority for their companies. In 2021, among the popular US organizations exploring the use of enterprise blockchain included Facebook, Mastercard, IBM, Intel, and Walmart (Hertig, 2021) .  \nBlockchain skills and use cases  \nThe objective of this study is to examine and document technical skills in the blockchain industry. The findings ofthe study are expected to be of practical use for information systems (IS) graduates as well as in IS curriculum development. Information systems (and/or management information systems –MIS) is a discipline or major in most Schools and Colleges of Business in the US. Besides other required and elective courses, students typically take at least one course each in a programming language, database management, computer networking, and systems analysis and design. These and other courses students take as part of their bachelor's degree requirements, provide them with necessary knowledge and foundational skills to acquire skills in the blockchain industry. Identifying closely matching skills in related but different industries is based on the concept of skill adjacency, which has been recognized as a practical strategy to fill the increasing skill gap due to rapidly changing technology in the workplace and the need for recent graduates and current empl","cbCaih4HfdiPhYXk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih4HfdiPhYXk","pdf",484621,9,"English","# Introduction\n## Blockchain basics and key properties\n## Enterprise vs public blockchains\n# Blockchain skills and use cases\n## Skill adjacency for IS graduates\n## Selected use cases\n# Methodology\n## Data collection","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study compiles current blockchain skill requirements so information systems graduates can use the results for employment, and so IS curriculum committees can design blockchain courses.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the job skill requirements collected and organized?\",\"answer\":\"The study collected 30 blockchain job announcements from LinkedIn and Indeed, then synthesized them into two alternate career paths for IS graduates.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two career paths identified for information systems graduates?\",\"answer\":\"The business and management path requires minimal preparation, while the technical path is more involved but still feasible for IS graduates.\"}]","Careers and skills in the enterprise blockchain industry for information systems graduates | PDF",1789363523]
