This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, Cologne Business School Köln, language: English, abstract: This research has been gathered together with the collaboration of Control Expert Company, a German company dedicated to providing services to the core business of the automotive insurance industry. This research is mainly focused on the different applications that Blockchain technology offers the automotive insurance industry. Based on these applications, a process model is developed from the perspective of the service provider sector of the automotive insurance. Having the main focus in mind, this research will answer the following question: How does Blockchain technology benefit the Automotive Insurance Process? The structure of this research will lead the reader through the evolution of the Blockchain technology and its features. First, a full definition of the technology will be explained. This will be followed by the generations of Blockchain and its classification. After that some history on regards Blockchain and the digital era will be mentioned. Such as the main innovations of the digital era, the creators of the technologies involved in Blockchain, and the main innovations within Blockchain. As the Internet of Things has become more and more popular during the last years, it is not possible to ignore the huge impact that it is having on people's daily lives. IoT represents a network of devices such as sensors, vehicles, computers and more, which interact among themselves and exchange information. Here comes a very interesting subcategory of the IoT – The Internet of People. The Internet of People describes the exchange of data through different devices but related to the people, or, in other words, the information gathered comes strictly from people. From this idea, the Internet of Money rises describing mainly how Blockchain and Bitcoin are changing the financial system. This is based on the idea of recording transactions in a safer way within a more decentralized system. Due to the strong disruption of Blockchain within different industries and the usability of the technology, it has been considered as an extra layer working over the internet. This is a new tier that enables transactions on a different level; permitting storage and record of data in a different way than a conventional database.

Download or read book Evaluation of Potential Use Cases for Blockchain in the Insurance Industry written by Ricardo Escoda and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, International School of Management, Campus Munich, language: English, abstract: Blockchain is considered to be a breakthrough technology with many strengths and opportunities, but also weaknesses and threats for all industries around the globe. It has the potential to revolutionize many sectors, but it is not a universal remedy and does not replace every single traditional technology. Most businesses do feel insecure whether to invest time and money for Research and Development due to the lack of industry standards and regulations with respect to the technology. Before being able to guarantee suitability and successful implementation in any business, it is essential to study the differences between public, private, hybrid, and consortium Blockchain types. In areas of application not strongly relying on Blockchain’s distributed systems, alternative solutions such as Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning might be more valuable. Nonetheless, Blockchain promises the unique potential for insurance companies to efficiently serve global markets with areas of application mainly concentrating on parts of the VC where bureaucracy can be reduced by automation. For instance, the use of Smart Contracts where lots of data are analyzed, saved, distributed, and pro- cessed. By implementing BC, fields, where the focus is on customer experience such as Payments, Data Security, Transparency, and Developing New Business and Product Ideas, can be improved enormously. Use cases and new products supported by Blockchain might include P2P Micro-Insurances, Ad-hoc and Parametric Insurance Models, Automized Underwriting, Reduction of Fraud and Abuse, and Health Insurance Processes. Real-Time Analytics in the Form of SCs, Instant Pay-Outs, Automized Claims Management, and Improved Risk Modelling of Insurance Businesses might be achievable by connecting Blockchain and Big Data. Contrary to the expectations of the author, most industry experts are aware of the benefits and opportunities the technology can bring to their companies. Still, Blockchain is not anchored in their medium- to long-term visions and strategies. Most of the interviewees would rather act as active observers and early followers than taking the lead proactively. Reasons for this behavior, are the lack of market standards and regulations, the absence of solid Blockchain networks, and the shortage of use cases, but also, the lack of know-how and data security concerns.
