Uncovering dimensions of the impact of blockchain technology in supply chain management

Abstract Supply chains around the globe are faced with difficulties and disruptions due to worldwide pandemic situation digital solutions needed. There is significant research interest in implementation of blockchain technology (BCT) for supply chain management (SCM). A challenge that remains analyzing interactions BCT different areas SCM. This study aims identify influential dimensions impact adoption SCM discuss synergetic counter-synergetic effects between these dimensions. Advantages, disadvantages, constraints adopting context explored through a systematic literature review, which provides foundation identifying impact. The conceptually discussed. introduces three implementing SCM: ‘operations processes’, ‘supply relationships’, ‘innovation data access’. These interrelated have overlapping within them, leads effects. overlaps synergies illustrated, virtuous vicious cycles cases highlighted. assists scholars practitioners by clarifying relationships providing considerations prevent undesirable expand desired ones.
