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.
