Enablers to the adoption of blockchain technology in logistics supply chains: evidence from an emerging economy

This study identifies the factors that can enable blockchain technology (BCT) implementation in logistics sector and reveals interdependencies, hierarchical structure, causalities between them. uses a three-phased research framework to identify thirteen enablers BCT adoption Logistics Supply Chain (LSC) analyse cause-effect relationships using an integrated Interpretive Structural Modelling Decision-Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory (ISM-DEMATEL) technique. classifies into three categories: prominent enablers, influencing resulting enablers. ‘Real-time connectivity information flow’ were identified as most enabler, whereas traceability was found be enabler. contributes literature by identifying critical modelling their causal address absence of appropriate decision-making aids managers understanding why how adopted LSC, especially emerging economy like India. Strategic recommendations on help overcome some select challenges faced LSC organizations are also presented.
