IMPACT OF BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY ON SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE: AN EVIDENCE FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study to look at the impact of IT execution (block chain technology) on supply chain integration and supply chain resilience. Methodology & Design The research was conducted to explain the impact ofBlock Chain Technology on supply chain resilience with mediating role ofsupply chain integration. The research aims to evaluate the variables, both dependent and Independent variables with the help of quantitative analysis. Findings One of the most important findings is that BCT implementation affects SCI. and that SCI mediates the relationship between BCT implementation and SCRES. This discovery has a variety of managerial ramifications. For starters, it emphasizes the critical role that BCT implementation plays in supply chain operations. BCT initiatives to promote SCI should be given increased emphasis as a result ofthis finding. Limitations This research was limited to Pakistan, the results may not be applicable to other nations or with distinct characteristics and values. The study relied on cross-sectional data, contexts which prevented us from looking at the dynamic character of both the SCI and the SCRES. Recommendations be boosted by tighter integration between different parts of a Resilient capabilities can company and supply chain partners. Collaborations and strategic partnerships may enable correct data flow and knowledge exchange across the whole supply chain network, block chain technology can be used for data flow and knowledge exchange. As a result, enteiprises will be able to better manage the entire supply chain process. These businesses would also be able to detect and respond to any disturbances in a timely manner. This is critical because failing to respond quickly to unforeseen conditions can cause supply chain performance to deteriorate, lowering company competitiveness
