Adoption of blockchain technology in supply chains

Blockchain technology has recently gained importance as an emerging technology in the field of supply chain management. As a decentralized peer-to-peer platform, blockchain appears to be particularly well-suited for adoption in complex supply chains. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the adoption of blockchain technology in the supply chain of various industries. This study is based on an integrated theoretical approach that combines the innovation diffusion theory and the technology-organization-environment framework. It does this by adding technological characteristics, organizational characteristics, and external environmental factors to expand the blockchain literature. This paper provides theoretical and practical insights that improve our understanding of the factors influencing blockchain adoption in supply chains and provides guidance to managers and policy makers on how they can direct their efforts to guide the best way to increase the adoption of this technology. In the results of this research, 17 factors affecting the acceptance of blockchain technology in the supply chain of various industries were extracted from the research literature.
