Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Blockchain für KMU: Einsatzpotenziale, Rollen und HandlungsempfehlungenBlockchain solutions for supply chain and logistics can strengthen the competitiveness of companies. But how should SME in particular approach this topic? Based on 26 expert interviews, we first identify application potentials for Blockchain. We then derive three typical roles companies can assume for realizing these potentials. Our typology can support practitioners in developing a company-specific blockchain approach.Publicationtype: Journal Article80 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , The Roles of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Blockchain AdoptionDespite the growing maturity of Blockchain technology and an increasing deployment in Supply Chain and Logistics, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to use the technology for their benefit. Based on 27 expert interviews, we develop a typology of Blockchain adoption approaches for SMEs and discuss their implications. We find that SMEs can approach the technology as either an Observer, a Cooperator, or a Service Provider based on their technological expertise, the expected relevance of the technology for their organization, and their market power.Publicationtype: Book Part102 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Mapping the sea of opportunities : Blockchain in supply chain and logisticsDriven by successful pilot projects in supply chain and logistics, Blockchain has become one of the industry’s latest technology hypes. In this paper, we cut through the hype and shed light on the expectations of industry professionals towards the benefits and challenges of Blockchain. Also, we categorize current Blockchain applications that are expected to provide tangible benefits for supply chain and logistics processes. To explore such potentials, we argue that companies should gain own first-hand experiences through small-scale experiments.Publicationtype: Journal ArticleScopus© Citations 67 672 2199 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Translating High Hopes Into Tangible Benefits: How Incumbents in Supply Chain and Logistics Approach BlockchainBlockchain is expected to have a transformational effect on supply chain and logistics due to its promise to improve the information flow between the supply chain partners. However, despite their high hopes, incumbent companies from supply chain and logistics are still struggling to deliver on this promise. In this explorative, qualitative interview study, we identify how incumbent companies try to make use of Blockchain in supply chain and logistics and we also analyze the barriers hampering them. The analysis of twenty-four semi-structured expert interviews and extensive secondary data collates a comprehensive picture of incumbent companies’ activities around Blockchain adoption. We find that companies use Blockchain to drive digital transformation, constitute new business models and unify the industry through consortia. The main barriers to such solutions are a lack of technological usability and long-term uncertainties. The results of our study provide evidence for theoretical constructs and guide managerial practice.Publicationtype: Journal ArticleScopus© Citations 50 281 400 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Impact and beneficiaries of blockchain in logisticsPurpose: Blockchain in logistics is slowly moving beyond the hype. Against this background, we investigate the current expectations concerning the impact and possible beneficiaries of Blockchain applications in the logistics services industry. Methodology: We conduct an online survey among logistics professionals to understand their expectations regarding specific use cases, potential issues, and general developments. Specifically, we ask the respondents to evaluate impacts and beneficiaries of three actual Blockchain projects from the logistics domain. Findings: We find that industry professionals are still optimistic about Blockchain and expect it to make an impact on both communication effectiveness and costs in the industry. However, we also find that the expected impact and beneficiaries strongly depend on the underlying use case. Originality: While there is a fast-growing body of research on Blockchain in the logistics industry, the specific impacts and beneficiaries of Blockchain usage as they relate to different use cases have received little attention to date.Publicationtype: Conference Paper940 504 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Assessing and improving countries’ logistics skills and trainingEvidence is mounting to suggest that there is a global shortage of people with the right skills to meet the evolving needs of the logistics industry. Especially emerging regions are lagging behind, inhibiting economic growth. Thus, governments should systematically assess and address skills shortages in logistics. Commissioned by the World Bank, we devised a toolkit for assessing the availability of logistics skills within low- and middle-income countries. We built on the maturity model concept and embedded it into an assessment and policy recommendation process. An international panel of logistics training experts provided advice on the toolkit development. The toolkit allows government officials and staff from international organizations to gain a quick but comprehensive overview of the logistics skills and training situation in a particular country. A pilot study done in Togo demonstrated the toolkit’s relevance and practicality. The toolkit is the first of its type to help governments undertake a systematic analysis of logistics skills and training at the macro level. Previous research in this area takes a micro-level perspective focusing on the logistics workforce of individual companies.Publicationtype: Conference Paper461 1116 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Blockchain in logistics and supply chain : trick or treat?Blockchain is an emergent technology concept that enables the decentralized and immutable storage of verified data. Over the last few years, it has increasingly attracted the attention of different industries. Especially in Fintech, Blockchain is hyped as the silver bullet that might overthrow today’s payment handling. Slowly, the logistics and supply chain management community realizes how profoundly Blockchain could affect their industry. To shed light on this emerging field, we conducted an online survey and asked logistics professionals for their opinion on use case exemplars, barriers, facilitators, and the general prospects of Blockchain in logistics and supply chain management. We found most of our participants are fairly positive about this new technology and the benefits it offers. However, factors like the hierarchical level, Blockchain experiences, and the industry sector have a significant impact on the participants’ evaluation. We reason that the benefits over existing IT solutions must be carved out more carefully and use cases must be further explored to get a rather conservative industry, like logistics, more excited about Blockchain.Publicationtype: Conference Paper17778 30450
