Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a tool with the potential to enhance transparency, trust, security, and decentralization in supply chain management (SCM). This study presents a comprehensive review of the interplay between blockchain technology and SCM. By analyzing an extensive dataset of 943 articles, our exploration utilizes the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method to delve deep into the thematic structure of the discourse. This investigation revealed ten central topics ranging from blockchain’s transformative role in supply chain finance and e-commerce operations to its application in specialized areas, such as the halal food supply chain and humanitarian contexts. Particularly pronounced were discussions on the challenges and transformations of blockchain integration in supply chains and its impact on pricing strategies and decision-making. Visualization tools, including PyLDAvis, further illuminated the interconnectedness of these themes, highlighting the intertwined nature of blockchain adoption challenges with aspects such as traceability and pricing. Despite the breadth of topics covered, the paper acknowledges its limitations due to the fast-evolving nature of blockchain developments during and after our analysis period. Ultimately, this review provides a holistic academic snapshot, emphasizing both well-developed and nascent research areas and guiding future research in the evolving domain of blockchain in SCM.

供应链管理中的区块链研究探索:一个潜在的狄利克雷分配驱动的系统回顾
区块链技术已经成为一种具有增强供应链管理(SCM)透明度、信任、安全性和去中心化潜力的工具。本研究对区块链技术和供应链管理之间的相互作用进行了全面的回顾。通过分析943篇文章的广泛数据集,我们的研究使用了潜在狄利克雷分配(LDA)方法来深入研究话语的主题结构。这项调查揭示了十个核心主题,从区块链在供应链金融和电子商务运营中的变革性作用,到其在清真食品供应链和人道主义背景等专业领域的应用。特别引人注目的是关于供应链中区块链整合的挑战和转变及其对定价策略和决策的影响的讨论。包括PyLDAvis在内的可视化工具进一步阐明了这些主题的相互关联性,突出了区块链采用挑战与可追溯性和定价等方面的相互交织的性质。尽管涵盖了广泛的主题,但由于区块链在我们分析期间和之后发展的快速发展性质,本文承认其局限性。最后,本综述提供了一个全面的学术快照,强调了发达和新兴的研究领域,并指导了供应链管理中区块链不断发展的领域的未来研究。
