Blockchain technology: driving innovation in the supply chain

Abstract

Aquesta tesi presenta un estudi de l’impacte de blockchain en las eva aplicació a les cadenes de subministrament (supply-chain o SC). Mitjançant la realització d’una recerca exploratòria la tesi presenta una anàlisi fonamentada en divuit entrevistes amb experts internacionals de diferents camps, com ara representants acadèmics, empresarials i institucionals. La recerca es divideix en quatre fases: la primera fase comença amb l’anàlisi i la identificació del tipus d’innovació per a la blockchain a SC; la segona fase analitza la combinació efectiva entre les tecnologies de blockchain i els processos de gestió de SC; la tercera fase introdueix les principals influències que afecten les operacions de SC per a una transició blockchain a SC; i el quart presenta un cas d'ús concret. Els resultats de la investigació mostren que blockchain per a SC presenta totes les característiques d’una innovació evolutiva més que disruptiva. No obstant això, els resultats van confirmar que les SC són un dels camps d’aplicació amb més projecció per a blockchain i que una SC basada en blockchain s’adapta millor als processos de gestió de relacions amb proveïdors i a les unitats de negoci financeres. Finalment, per mitigar els riscos, l’anàlisi també va identificar elements que poden donar suport als procediments de transició digital en les SC. La tesi conclou presentant els resultats trobats i proporciona suggeriments per a futures perspectives de recerca.

This thesis presents a study of blockchain impacts for supply chain (SC) application. By conducting explorative research, the thesis presents a grounded theory analysis based on eighteen interviews with international experts from different fields such as academics, business and institutional representatives. The study is divided into four phases: the first phase begins with the analysis and identification of the type of innovation for blockchain in SC; the second phase analyzes the effective combination between blockchain technologies and SC management processes; the third phase introduces the major influences affecting SC operations for a blockchain transition in SC; and the fourth one presents a use case. The research results show that blockchain for SC presents all features to be a sustaining innovation rather than disruptive. However, results confirmed that SCs appear to be one of the most prominent fields of application for blockchain, and a blockchain-based SC fits in supplier relationship management processes and financial business units. Lastly, to mitigate risks, the analysis also identified elements that may support digital transition procedures in SCs. The thesis concludes by merging all results found and provides suggestions for future research perspectives.
