With the rapid changes in the global business environment, enterprises face many risks for their supply chains. The development of blockchain technology (BCT), an emerging technology, could transform supply chain activities and provides an opportunity to mitigate supply chain risks (SCRs). However, there is a lack of guidance on this issue. Therefore, this study evaluates and prioritizes the impacts of BCT on reducing SCRs. By applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach, this study identifies and assesses the nineteen BCT adoption enablers for reducing SCRs in a hierarchical structure. Results show that the sourcing process is the essential enabler when enterprises consider adopting BCT for reducing risks, and the weight of the making process is ranked second. Among the sub-criteria, the top five items are clarity of supply sources, counterfeit and shoddy products, fraud in contract fulfillment, the flexibility of capacity, and sensitivity to demand change. This study's findings may guide practitioners considering the introduction of BCT to reduce SCRs and for scholars who are developing related theories.

评估区块链技术以降低供应链风险

随着全球商业环境的快速变化,企业的供应链面临诸多风险。区块链技术 (BCT) 是一种新兴技术,其发展可以改变供应链活动,并为降低供应链风险 (SCR) 提供机会。然而,在这个问题上缺乏指导。因此,本研究评估并优先考虑 BCT 对减少 SCR 的影响。通过应用层次分析法 (AHP) 方法,本研究确定并评估了 19 个 BCT 采用推动因素,以减少层次结构中的 SCR。结果表明,当企业考虑采用 BCT 降低风险时,采购流程是必不可少的推动因素,制造流程的权重排在第二位。在子标准中,前五项是供应来源的清晰度,假冒伪劣产品、合同履行中的欺诈、产能的灵活性以及对需求变化的敏感性。本研究的结果可能会指导从业者考虑引入 BCT 以减少 SCRs,并为正在开发相关理论的学者提供指导。
