Master's Thesis from the year 2024 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1.5, , course: MBA, language: English, abstract: Blockchain focuses on using digital systems to execute and record online transactions that can only be perceived or considered as the building blocks developed from digital algorithms and secured through cryptography. This technology system is one of the key strategic technology trends used in various organizations or public sectors to record transactions. The problem at hand is the gender gap within the blockchain industry, where African American women are underrepresented and face various challenges in their pursuit of opportunities and advancement. Despite the increasing interest in blockchain technology, the participation of women in the industry remains significantly lower compared to their male counterparts. This gender disparity not only limits the diversity of talent and ideas within the industry but also hinders the industry's overall growth, innovation, and potential for positive social impact. Existing studies on gender gaps in technology fields, while valuable, often provide a limited understanding of the specific dynamics and challenges within the blockchain industry. There is a need for focused research that examines the gender gap in blockchain systems and investigates the unique factors that contribute to women's underrepresentation. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the gender gap in blockchain systems, focusing on African American women's perspectives and their involvement in blockchain technology. By addressing this research gap, we can gain insights into the barriers African American women face in the industry and identify strategies to foster a more inclusive and equitable blockchain ecosystem. The general research question is: What are the potential factors that lead to the gender gap in blockchain systems among African American women in the US who are influencers in the blockchain space? The sub-research questions are: How does race influence gender inequality in blockchain technology change among African American women in the US? How do trust and transparency influence the leadership position of African American women in the blockchain system? What are the key strategies or success factors to promote future gendered leadership in blockchain systems?
