Abstract

When considering the introduction of a new technology, it is important to accurately grasp and selectively apply the technical characteristics related to the technology in order to fully utilize the advantages of the technology. In this study, the technical characteristics of high relative importance were analyzed in order to increase the efficiency of new application of blockchain technology by companies. The technical characteristics of the blockchain identified through previous research were reclassified from the perspective of the system hierarchy, and sub-factors of the technical characteristics were derived. In addition, a questionnaire survey on the relative importance of technical characteristics was conducted for internal experts and SI experts using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. As a result of the analysis, respondents evaluated data protection as the most important factor in the threat of hacking related to security. In addition, it was different that the comparison results of the importance of the technical characteristics between the experts in the company and the SI experts and the priority of the technical characteristics between the expert groups by industry. It is expected that the results of this study will be usefully utilized when using blockchain technology in enterprises in line with the upcoming changes of the 4th industrial revolution. An empirical analysis of the internal and external factors required for adoption of blockchain technology by industry and the effect of technology introduction will be a meaningful study.

기업이 신기술의 도입을 검토할 때 기술의 이점을 충분히 활용하기 위해서는 해당 기술과 관련한 기술적 특성에 대한 정확한 파악과 선별적인 적용이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기업이 블록체인 기술 신규 적용의 효율성을 높이기 위해 상대 중요도가 높은 기술적 특성을 분석하였다. 선행연구를 통해 확인되는 블록체인의 기술적 특성을 시스템 계층구조 관점에서 재분류하고, 기술적 특성의 하위 세부요인을 도출하였다. 그리고 기업 내 전문가와 SI 전문가를 대상으로 실시한 기술적 특성의 상대적 중요도에 대해 설문조사를 AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) 기법을 활용해 분석하였다. 분석결과 응답자들은 보안성과 관련한 해킹의 위협에서 데이터 보호를 가장 중요한 요인으로 평가하였다. 그리고 기업 내 전문가와 SI 전문가 간에 기술적 특성에 대한 중요도 및 업종별 전문가 그룹 간의 기술적 특성의 중요도 우선순위 비교결과도 서로 다르게 나타났다. 다가올 4차 산업혁명의 변화에 맞추어 본 연구의 결과는 기업에서 블록체인 기술적용 시에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후 업종별 블록체인 기술 수용에 필요한 내·외부 요인과 기술도입을 통한 효과에 대한 실증분석도 의미 있는 연구가 될 수 있을 것이다.
