The primary object of this paper is to perform a critical analysis on the use of blockchain in supply chains with the help of existing research on the subject. In doing so, one of the major obstacles that the researcher faces, is to filter out the application, use, scope and theoretical research on blockchain as a separate and independent concept from bitcoin as most of the studies on blockchain have been conducted in relation to the cryptocurrency (Crosby et al., 2016). Secondarily, the paper intends to to give, through real examples, a glimpse of how blockchain is being adopted by major multinational conglomerates around the world. The paper also intends to keep a certain technical aspect of the concept rather than replacing it with simpler terminology and therefore concepts like “decentralised ledger system” and “encrypted peer to peer transaction” will be used without defining each and every preliminary concept. Another objective of the paper is to present the shortcomings of using the technology for supply chain management, under the contemporary circumstances (Golosova and Ramanovs, 2018).
