“…Continuing with vulnerabilities and disruptions, Raj Kumar Reddy et al ( 2021 ) pointed out that BT could address issues related to uncertainties in automotive SC by enabling and enhancing traceability, transparency, visibility for an effiicient automotive SC. Karamchandani et al ( 2021 ) conducted a survey in manufacturing SC and found that blockchain would play a greater role in reliable delivery and mass customisation of products. Friedman and Ormiston ( 2022 ) posit that BT favours sustainability and fairer SC with better food traceability.…”

Blockchain technology is touted as a game-changer. Many experts consider blockchain technology as one of the disruptive innovations. Following significant success in the banking and finance sector, blockchain technology has found significant success in all fields, including health, manufacturing, transportation, disaster relief operations, and many others. Recently, the academician has contributed significantly towards understanding blockchain technology and its application in the management field. To understand how the literature on blockchain technology in the supply chain has progressed, we undertook an extensive review of the literature published in peer-reviewed journals using databases such as SCOPUS. We have further classified our literature into four stages (pre-adoption, adoption, implementation, and application). Finally, we synthesized the findings of the study and proposed a research framework to explain how an organization can build supply chain resilience and enhance supply chain performance with the help of blockchain technology. Finally, we have noted the limitations of the study and future research directions.

“…The identification of these resources, which we accomplished in this paper, will support future academic research that strives to dive deeper and investigates how a specific resource in one of the established categories can actually impact a company's effectiveness or efficiency [80]. This research stream can build heavily on the resource-based view of the firm, with the goal of identifying those resources that can gain a competitive advantage for a company [23,55].…”

“…One of the explanations for this is the lack of tools necessary for the effective integration of the technology [27]. As such, blockchain is not a standalone technology, but rather depends on its integration into sensing technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) [14,54,55]. Agrifood organizations are thus compelled to invest in these digital technologies, with a special focus on integrating real-time information and data processing tools to optimize production, facili-tating traceability and increasing responsiveness to changing conditions in their supply chain [56][57][58].…”

Intra- and Interorganizational Barriers to Blockchain Adoption: A General Assessment and Coping Strategies in the Agrifood Industry

et al. 2021

Background: Companies partaking in modern supply chains face numerous intra- and interorganizational barriers when it comes to the adoption of blockchain technology. Empirical research is missing that explores how exactly these barriers can be overcome. In this paper we first explore barriers that organizations need to overcome to successfully deploy blockchain technology. In a second step, we investigate the agrifood industry and highlight differences in coping strategies between incumbents and start-ups. Methods: We conducted a quantitative survey with 190 supply chain experts to identify barriers and an in-depth qualitative study that included 10 expert interviews to better understand the current situation in agrifood organizations. Results: The findings from the quantitative study show that the most relevant organizational barrier to blockchain adoption is the widespread lack of understanding of the technology and its potential benefits. In the qualitative study we illustrate how various intra- and interorganizational barriers can be overcome and how the resources and capabilities differ between incumbents and start-ups. Conclusions: Our results provide academics with a better understanding of the relevant barriers and bridges of blockchain adoption. Practitioners benefit from learning about the resources and capabilities they need to deploy in order to benefit from blockchain technology.

“…Further, the usage of BC enhanced consumer trust (Garaus & Treiblmaier, 2021). The usage of BC also affected positively the supply chain process (Karamchandani et al, 2021). Furthermore, the usage of IoT and BC affected positively green supply chain practices (Rane et al, 2020).…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become essential for business. The adoption rate of IoT has dropped recently and this could be due to security, privacy, and trust issues. Blockchain (BC) has the potential to mitigate the risk of security, privacy, and trust. However, few studies examined the integration between IoT and BC in the context of developing countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the predictors of IoT adoption by telecommunication companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In addition, the study aims to examine the moderating role of BC as well as the effect of using IoT and BC on the competitive advantage of companies. Based on technology acceptance model, social exchange theory, and resource-based view, the study proposed that security, privacy, trust, communication quality, perceived ease of use (PEOU), and perceived usefulness (PU) affect positively the adoption of IoT. BC is proposed as a moderating variable and expected with IoT to affect the competitive advantage of companies. The population includes all the telecommunication companies in GCC. Data was collected using purposive sampling from IT professionals. The results of data analysis using SmartPLS showed that security, privacy, trust, PU, and PEOU positively affected the adoption of IoT. BC and IoT adoption have a positive effect on competitive advantage. Further, BC moderated only the effect of security and privacy on the adoption of IoT. Services providers must enhance the security, privacy, and trust of IoT services by deploying BC technology. Effective integration of IoT and BC will lead to the achievement of competitive advantages.
