Dragalina Street, No 27, Ap 20, Timis, Romania Mihaela.Rit@panalpina.com Abstract The aim of this research is to explore how the emerging blockchain technology may transform supply chains. We do so by exploring the answers to two RQs, i.e. why is blockchain technology important to logistics and supply chain sector and where are disruptions mostly likely to occur. Via a comprehensive literature review and 14 expert interviews, we found that the perceived benefits such as improved tracking and traceability in an end- to-end supply chain and efficiency gains through automation and reduction of complexities are the main motivational factors that help to explain why blockchain matters to supply chain. We further identify areas where blockchain may penetrate in supply chains, namely, supply chain tracing and tracking, supply chain disintermediation, simplification and digitalisation of supply chain process and smart contract. We also reveal challenges to its further diffusion. Finally, we acknowledge our research limitation and highlight a number of avenues for future research. We contribute to the literature by elucidating the reasons why blockchain technology is important to supply chain management and by locating areas where it may bring value to supply chain. Our research thereby offers valuable insights to both practitioners and academics in this field to prepare them to embrace this emerging technological innovation. Keywords: blockchain, logistics, supply chain, exploratory study, sensemaking. Download 0.65 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
