Abstract

Nowadays, blockchain technology sparked attention in the field of supply chains. This research report focused on the challenges and impacts of implementing blockchain technology in supply chain management. Given the increasing interest in blockchain’s potential in the supply chain, this research aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of blockchain implementation. By exploring practical applications, this research filled the gaps in the literature. A key challenge identified is the shortage of expertise in handling blockchain technology. The National Blockchain Roadmap 2021-2025, issued by the Ministry of Science (2022), stated that 56% perceived blockchain adoption due to a lack of in-house capabilities. The research has two objectives: (1) to identify the challenges associated with the implementation of integrated blockchain technology in the supply chain. (2) To investigate the impacts of leveraging blockchain technology in supply chain management. To obtain a deeper understanding and new insights, exploratory research was used, utilizing qualitative methods which are semi-structured interviews. In this research, 3 informants were interviewed online. The research findings were analysed using thematic analysis, which involved identifying, analysing, and interpreting the data acquired. This interview revealed the answer to the two research objectives indicated above. Through this research study, the knowledge gained guided practitioners in making informed decisions about implementing blockchain technology in supply chain management.
