Abstract

In the context of supply chain management, technological and strategic management practices play a critical role in managing supply chain processes that generate operational performance gains for firms. In this paper, we investigate the potential implications of blockchain for both supply chain management and operational processes management practices to develop the higher-order capability of information system integration. This capability enables firms to manage information flow from operational processes and allows information sharing with supply chain partners. From the perspective of practice-based view (PBV), we developed our research model and propositions to address the authenticity of food safety issues and sustainability in the context of the supply chain. We also highlight the need for blockchain implementation within the food industries that create an information-based approach for better operational performance.
