The globalization of the world economy increased the role of value
chains, where disruptions in the realization of the logistics processes occur repeatedly. Pandemics, military conflicts, and climate change further increase the difficulties in matching demand and supply. Therefore, proper Supply Chain Management (SCM) is crucial and the digital transformation of SCM is considered an
important solution for several SCM concerns. Extensive subject matter literature
research highlighted that several technologies have been studied and implemented
as SCM solutions contrary to the blockchain. As a result, the research aim of the
article is to examine the current and future challenges of SCM with particular
emphasis on blockchain technology perception in this context. Proper research has
been conducted with the use of structured in-depth interviews with SCM experts.
Pilot study results highlighted that blockchain is perceived as a technology with
significant potential to support the creation of Digital Supply Chains. They also
pointed out that blockchain is not the technology of the first choice when planning
the digital transformation of SCM.
