Potentials of blockchain technologies for supply chain collaboration: a conceptual framework

What is it about?

In this study we investigate the potentials of blockchain technologies for supply chain collaboration. Blockchain technologies can impact collaboration between transaction partners in modern supply chains by streamlining sharing processes‚ by supporting decision and reward models‚ and by strengthening communicative relationships with supply chain partners. Furthermore, they promise important future capabilities in supply chains by facilitating auditability, improving accountability, enhancing data and information transparency and improving levels of trust in B2B relationships. They also promise to strengthen collaboration and to overcome vulnerabilities related to moral hazard and shortcomings found in legacy technologies.
