PublicationDistributed ledger technology in supply chains: a transaction cost perspectiveWith the emergence of distributed ledger technology (DLT), numerous practitioners and researchers have proclaimed its beneficial impact on supply chain transactions in the future. However, the vast majority of DLT initiatives are discontinued after a short period. With the full potential of DLT laying far down the road, especially managers in supply chain management (SCM) seek for short-term cost-saving effects of DLT in order to achieve long-term benefits of DLT in the future. However, the extant research has bypassed grounding long-term as well as short-term effects of DLT on supply chain transaction with empirical data. We address this shortcoming, following an abductive research approach and combining empirical data from a multiple case study design with the corresponding literature. Our study reveals that the effects of DLT on supply chain transactions are two-sided. We found six effects of DLT solutions that have a cost-reducing or cost avoidance impact on supply chain transactions. In addition, we found two effects that change the power distribution between buyers and suppliers in transactions and a single effect that reduces the dependency of supply chain transactions on third parties. While cost-reducing and avoidance as well as dependency-reducing effects are positive effects, the change in power distribution might come with disadvantages. With these findings, the paper provides the first empirical evidence of the impact of DLT on supply chain transactions, which will enable managers to improve their assessment of DLT usage in supply chains.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal of Production ResearchVolume: 58Issue: 7

PublicationThe Foundation of Distributed Ledger Technology for Supply Chain Management( 2020-01-09)Distributed ledger technology (DLT) appears to be one of the most promising technologies in the field of supply chain management (SCM). However, as the technology is still evolving, only limited empirical evidence has been analyzed, managers and scientific scholars alike seek to understand how DLT can help improving SCM. This study aims to shed light into the current DLT applications in SCM to identify the foundation of the technology for SCM and uncover what DLT brings to the table. It develops seven foundational characteristics of DLT in SCM that describe both the nature of DLT and its characteristics for SCM. The study reveals that DLTs are interorganizational information systems that are diverse in their realizations and enable modular platform ecosystems. Nowadays application in SCM build on steady data availability, selective transparency, high authenticity and a source of mutual trust.Type: conference paperVolume: Proceedings of the 53rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences

PublicationEnhancing Transparency in the Supply Chain: An Information Processing PerspectiveWhile nowadays’ need to enhance transparency in supply chains (TSC) seems undisputable, supply chain management (SCM) scholars and practitioners lack an operationalization of the phenomenon and a clear understanding of how to enhance TSC. This study aims to address this need by applying a multiple case study design with 24 awarded or industry-wide good practice solutions to disclose how focal companies can enhance TSC. Drawing on information processing theory (IPT), this study contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon by placing TSC in context and identifying 29 TSC determinants that have to be attained in order to enhance TSC. The study reveals that although the targeted effect of enhanced TSC is mainly beneficial for the focal company, it requires all relevant supply chain partners to enhance TSC. By presenting the TSC determinants that are required on an intra-firm and inter-organizational level to enhance TSC, we elaborate IPT in the context of TSC.Type: conference paper

Publicationmodum.io: Funding a Blockchain-Based Start-Up's Supply Chain Solution (Teaching Note)This teaching case can be used for different audiences – for executives, postgraduates and young entrepreneurs as well as students. These groups should have a background in one of the two fields: - For an audience with IS background that wants to learn more about startup financing and supply chains especially in the pharmaceutical industry. - For an audience with finance background that wants to study new opportunities of startup financing, get to know blockchain technology (BCT), ICOs as well pharmaceutical supply chains. - For an audience with operations and supply chain background that wants to open up to startup financing and BCT as well as ICO topics. Depending on the background, the case teacher should decide upon the listed references, what the students should read. This teaching case should be worked on over the period of at least three days. As the topic is complex and the audience will need to get to know two new fields, further reading and additional research on the topics BCT/ICO, startup financing and pharmaceutical supply chain is required.Type: case studyIssue: N5-420-007

Publicationmodum.io: Funding a Blockchain-Based Start-Up's Supply Chain Solution (Teaching Case)At the end of June 2017, the founder of modum.io AG, Marc D., was preparing for an important meeting that would take place the next day with a major investor when he received an email. The goal of the meeting was to negotiate the final terms of a commitment. However, the email from the investor indicated that the negotiations related to modum.io would not make it onto the agenda. After months of promising discussions, the entrepreneur was disappointed by this unexpected decision. With a limited cash flow, the founders faced two choices: (1) provide a cash bridge until the negotiations could resume or (2) come up with an alternative plan. Modum.io was focused on one core business idea: streamlining supply chain processes by combining innovative technologies and proprietary hardware to provide an efficient, reliable, and secure shipment monitoring solution. More specifically, modum.io’s first use-case was aimed at monitoring temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products in the supply chain. Their sensor devices are connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), and the collected data is stored on the blockchain to ensure integrity and authenticity.Type: case studyIssue: N9-420-006
