Abstract

The research focuses on the analysis and ranking of effects from the implementation of blockchain technology. Currently, most of the work in this area is devoted to the introduction of blockchain technology into information systems, the functions of which are usually limited to a specific area of operation. At the same time, as the analysis reported, the capabilities of application of blockchain technologies go beyond one area of operation. Banking, the public sector and the healthcare sector are the most important sectors for the implementation of blockchain technology. Companies are interested in introducing blockchain technology into their information systems, but they are unable to quickly analyze the effects of this technology. The article proposes to use a new method of multi-criteria evaluation of these effects, which is based on the idea of sharing inaccurate product models of decision-maker preferences, as well as theory of planning experiments aimed at extracting and using expert’s knowledge about blockchain technology.
