The mission of JIDS is to encourage, recognize, and reward intellectual activity beyond the classroom while providing a forum for the exchange of research and ideas. Our journal is run entirely by a staff team of European Business University faculty, and led by an Editor-in-Chief.<br><br>JIDS primarily publishes work produced by EBU faculty and postgraduates, but also publishes papers from well-qualified students at other institutions. All submitted academic papers undergo review by JIDS’s editorial team, who subsequently deliberate and select the best-submitted academic papers for publication. New volumes of JIDS are released half yearly on the web. &nbsp;</p> <p>To celebrate our first year of publications, papers will be published when available online.</p> <p>ISSN 2716-7267<br>Key title: Journal of International DBA Studies (Online)<br><br>For the print version:<br>ISSN 2716-7259<br>Key title: Journal of International DBA Studies</p> <p>Officially filed with the<br>BIBLIOTHEQUE NATIONALE DU LUXEMBOURG<br>SERVICE DES PERIODIQUES LUXEMBOURGEOIS<br>37D, Avenue John F.

<p>Blockchain technology is not an easy concept to grasp. Essentially, Blockchain technology is difficult due to the “simple” fact that its complexity is what makes it unique. It is essentially the largest consensus algorithm on the planet and it is at work right now. However, this complexity does not understate the urgency of being able to understand how Blockchain can fundamentally alter the political, social and economic landscape. This paper surveyed the social and economic implications of Blockchain technology on finance, fraud and social corruption, while providing proof of concept real use cases being enforced today.</p> <p>Technology poses problems since not all users are familiar or comfortable with its application. However, the blockchain technology can be implemented on the back-end for security and transparency purposes while maintaining simplicity and ease of use on the front-end for users. The cost-benefit analysis is made clear that Nations must seek a first mover advantage.</p>
