Driven by pressures from multiple stakeholders, supply chain transparency (SCT) has emerged as a phenomenon of increased interest. To address concerns about practices and processes at point of origin locations for raw materials in global supply chains, blockchain technology (BCT) has the potential to enhance SCT. Supply chain research has started to advance the field's understanding of SCT, but many questions remain, including how SCT should be conceptualized, how firms can effectively facilitate it, and the benefits of providing it, especially when BCT is utilized. The gaps suggest the need for fundamental theoretical development about the resources and capabilities underlying the development, application, and derived value of SCT. This research designed a case study around a BCT implementation project between a small artisan coffee producer and a startup BCT service provider. Using the resource orchestration perspective, the findings result in theoretical insights about how the mechanisms in structuring, bundling, and leveraging processes operate to offer SCT to stakeholders, and the value creation derived as a result.

利用区块链技术实现供应链透明度：资源编排视角

在来自多个利益相关者的压力的推动下，供应链透明度 (SCT) 已成为一种越来越受关注的现象。为了解决对全球供应链中原材料原产地实践和流程的担忧，区块链技术 (BCT) 具有增强 SCT 的潜力。供应链研究已开始促进该领域对 SCT 的理解，但仍然存在许多问题，包括应如何概念化 SCT，公司如何有效促进它，以及提供它的好处，尤其是在使用 BCT 时。这些差距表明需要对 SCT 的开发、应用和衍生价值背后的资源和能力进行基础理论发展。本研究围绕小型手工咖啡生产商和初创 BCT 服务提供商之间的 BCT 实施项目设计了一个案例研究。使用资源编排视角，研究结果得出了关于构建、捆绑和利用流程的机制如何运作以向利益相关者提供 SCT 以及由此产生的价值创造的理论见解。
