“…Managers require to focus on effective implementation of supply chain practices including inventory management, production plans, delivery of goods, etc. (Essabbar, Zolghadri, & Zrikem, 2020) which leads to increased collaborations among partner firms, suppliers, and customers, thereby enhancing the SIS capability of supply chains. Besides, collaborative efforts also reduce supply chain risks and costs through standardizing the processes which subsequently help better manage the information shared.…”

In the present turbulent market situation, building strategic information sharing (SIS) capability among the partner firms of a supply chain is imperative to create the agility and adaptability which further lead to the supply chain performance (SCP). In the available literature, combined role of agility and adaptability and their impact on SCP is poorly investigated. As a rapidly changing market environment requires the supply chains to be more responsive and flexible, supply chain agility and adaptability appear to be value-enhancing and contribute to its effectiveness. Following the resource-based views (RBV) and relational theory this study presents a model linking SIS capability, agility, and adaptability with SCP. A cross-sectional survey of 243 Indian auto component manufacturers was conducted to collect the data. The results reveal that SIS, agility, and adaptability are directly and significantly connected with SCP. This finding supports the prominently published studies. The main contribution of the study is unveiling the mediation effect of agility and adaptability on the SIS-SCP relationship. Results depict that agility and adaptability mediate the SIS-SCP relationship fully and partially respectively. The study also discusses the theoretical and managerial implications along with limitations and scope for future research.

“…Supplier selection is a source of competitive advantage. And since power is distributed unevenly in supply chains, customers are not always be able to force their suppliers to disclose their sources (Essabbar et al, 2020). Blockchain technology as such cannot change these underlying problems of supply chain transparency.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess if blockchain technology, which is hailed for its potential to improve supply chain transparency and efficiency, can deliver to this promise (Abreu et al., 2021; Mahyuni et al., 2020; Manzoor et al., 2022; Rennie, 2022; Yiannas, 2018). Supply chains are increasingly complex and full transparency is difficult to achieve and may sometimes be undesired, yet governments worldwide are demanding more transparency especially with respect to the social and environmental sustainability of supply chains (Francisco & Swanson, 2018; Franke, 2021; Najjar, 2021). If blockchain technology allows to close this gap, without compromising corporate confidentiality and efficiency requirements, it might change supply chain management drastically. Most other research in this field remains rather superficial with respect to the fundamentals of blockchain technology and supply chain management. Our study will add to the very limited theoretically founded research on blockchain potentials in supply chains.Study Design: Our paper is conceptual. Based on the extant literature, we compare blockchain technology and its advantages to the characteristics of supply chains and challenges of supply chain management to identify a theoretical fit. We investigate if published case studies of blockchain technology in supply chain management support this. Finally, we devise a conceptual framework for the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management.Findings: There is, currently, very limited use for blockchain technology in supply chain management. It does not provide an answer to several of the challenges that exist in supply chain management. Blockchain technology was primarily devised as encryption technology for virtual entities and transactions involving them and not for tangible objects. Published case studies describing the use of blockchain technology in supply chain management do not contradict these findings.They rely on private blockchain solutions lacking the key benefits of blockchain technology. Our conceptual framework constitutes a reference for a future public blockchain solution for supply chains. It offers solutions for some of the challenges but also cannot solve some fundamental challenges, like power imbalances in supply chains.Limitations: Blockchain technology undergoes rapid development. Future blockchain technology may be faster, less energy-intensive and more integrated with other technologies. This may be aided by developments in hardware, like quantum computing. The findings of this paper are limited to currently available technology.Implications: Companies and governments alike should be very cautious when considering investing in currently available blockchain solutions for supply chain management.
