PurposeBlockchain is an evolving technology that has an impact on a variety of industries and related operations including food supply chain. There are several challenges associated in the implementation of blockchain in the food supply chain. As a result, the goal of this research is to identify and analyse the barriers associated with the implementation of blockchain in food supply chains.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review is conducted to identify 16 primary barriers associated with the implementation of blockchain technology in the food supply chain and experts finalise these identified barriers and further categorise them into four groups. Furthermore, the best worst method is used to prioritise the finalised barriers.FindingsThe findings suggest that “technological barriers” and “organisational barriers” are primary barriers among the identified barriers for the implementation of blockchain. These barriers could be mitigated through supply chain collaboration, efficient blockchain technology development through research and development, and increasing technical competence.Research limitations/implicationsIn terms of limitation, there is a possibility that some barriers were overlooked in the literature review process, and expert judgement might be prejudiced. This paper examines the blockchain implementation in the food supply chain, to assist policymakers in overcoming these barriers and ensuring effective adoption.Originality/valueThis study focuses on the effective implementation of blockchain technology in the food supply chain in the context of emerging economies.

The hospitality industry grapples with many workforces related issues like many other industries. Talent retention, turnover, commitment are significant issues in the hospitality industry in India. As a result of macro-level concerns such as the recent pandemic, the hospitality industry has started viewing talent management (TM) as a strategic lever to enhance organizational performance through committed and engaged employees. However, though organizational commitment has been an important research topic, only a few studies have been conducted on TM and organizational commitment in the Indian hospitality sector. Therefore, after the review of literature on the related field, the study tested three hypotheses to examine the causal relationship between TM practices and organizational commitment. Structural equation modelling using AMOS 26 was used to find empirical evidence in favour of the proposed hypotheses. The result of the study, showed that TM practices of the hospitality industry significantly influences the organizational commitment among the employees.
