Blockchain Integrated Retail Logistics Chain: An Adoption Perspective

Abstract

The task of managing public health and safety is a multifaceted and delicate one that demands the careful upkeep of numerous processes and systems, with a particular emphasis on cold chain logistics. The primary objective of this research is to investigate how blockchain technology can meet the needs of a retail cold chain. To accomplish this goal, we employed a comprehensive technological adoption model, partial least squares structural equation modeling, and a quantitative cross-sectional survey approach to ascertain stakeholder adoption intentions toward a blockchain-enabled cold supply chain. Our findings suggest that blockchain technology has the capacity to effectively facilitate the goals of the retail cold chain.
