Blockchain Technology: The Role of Integrated Reverse Supply Chain Networks in Sustainability

This research explores the role of Blockchain Technology (BCT) integrated with Reverse Supply Chain Networks (RSCN) and evaluates relationship between BCT sustainability performance. A qualitative design was employed to develop a conceptual framework for in RSCN. collected analysed primary secondary data from four cases as focal-actors. These focal-actors are multi-industries Jordan, namely food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, toys. actors lead-firms have experience working RSCNs technology applications such BCT. Primary were acquired interviews managers these industries, which supported by analysis that identified two types themes: internally focused externally BCT-integrated drivers RSCNs. The also how they leverage performance improvements, including their use RSCN approaches features. is one few attempts explore into better contributes theoretical practical knowledge supply chains within emerging economies. All actors-as-stakeholders involved national programs projects can adopt new framework. key findings contribute field where adoption broad-based strategy attain goals reverse chain activities along goal.
