Digitization is shaping logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM) and impacting processes. Key tasks such as tracking goods and combating counterfeiting require robust information structures. Blockchain promises improvements in L&SCM, but SMEs are struggling compared to large enterprises. This dissertation explores SMEs‘ adoption of Blockchain in L&SCM through two studies. Study 1 surveys practitioners‘ views and finds that SMEs lack expertise. Study 2, using grounded theory, identifies a typology of SMEs‘ approaches to Blockchain adoption via 37 interviews.
