Title: Role of blockchain technology in supply chain management: Evidence from Chinese firms

Abstract

This study aims to provide empirical evidence to support the role of blockchain technology in supply chain management in Chinese firms. The data were gathered through a survey of the employees of the Chinese firms. A sample of 100 respondents was taken for this study. Hypotheses were tested through SmartPls 4.0. Empirical evidence suggests that Chinese firms using blockchain technology can have a more effective and influential supply chain management system. A group of knowledgeable individuals provided the task of gathering the necessary information, and questionnaires were sent to businesses located in China's major metropolitan areas of Beijing, Shenyang, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. A similar study must be replicated in various other contexts to measure the similarity of the results with finding from new perspectives. The paper provides the support and guidance of blockchain technology to enhance supply chain management systems in Chinese firms.
