Abstract
Disruptive technologies have reshaped the way governance, regulations and businesses plan their medium- to long-term development strategies, affecting our socio-economic and cultural environments in a number of ways. Blockchain in general, and its applications in corporations, medical services, archiving or investment, in particular, is a phenomenon whose significance is yet to be fully explored. Big corporations like Microsoft and Walmart are already integrating blockchain for cloud services, smart contracts or food chain databases. As the adoption of the blockchain is increasing, we will witness the discovery of more ways to make organizational processes run even more smoothly. The aim of our chapter is to challenge the traditional ways to perceive organizational knowledge by creating a model that allows the application of private Blockchains to knowledge evolution, ownership and transfer. Socio-economic and cultural aspects of integrating blockchain in the knowledge transfer systems would be discussed and our focus will be to explore the effectiveness of such a system and its impact on intellectual capital.
