“…Overall, there are many benefits associated with blockchain implementation in supply chain management. The study of Ayan et al (2022) confirms that blockchain technology can enhance supply chain transparency, traceability, and accountability, leading to increased efficiency, reduced waste, and improved environmental and social sustainability. The authors also provide case studies from the food, fashion, and energy industries to illustrate the potential of blockchain in promoting sustainability.…”

A smart contract is an electronic transaction protocol intended to digitally facilitate, verify, or enforce the execution of the terms of underlying legal agreements. Thus, by following the traditional perception, smart contracts target reducing transaction costs, including arbitration and enforcement costs, by realizing trackable and irreversible transactions using blockchain technology for distributed databases. However, the potential of smart contracts goes far beyond cost reductions by facilitating the entrepreneurial collaboration of cross-organizational business processes. Industry 4.0 aims to create smart supply chains. Smart contracts and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) solutions can realize new smart business models in the circular economy. The recent case study from the automobile industry demonstrates how using NFT technology in the form of a digital certificate can become an integral part of smart product lifecycle management in the frame of a circular economy integrating innovative business models with smart service design concepts. By doing so, the use of NFT paves the way for dynamic and adaptable supply chains, evolving needs of stakeholders towards a sustainable and circular economy. The authors participated in research projects related to smart supply chains and circular economy. Thus, the paper discusses the question of how and to what extent smart contracting, blockchain technology, NFT solutions, and Service Design can facilitate the implementation of smart business models in the context of the circular economy. The research is based on expert interviews, surveys, and case studies from EU projects focusing on the Baltic Sea Region.

“…In blockchain and sustainability, although the blockchain technology papers I mentioned do touch upon blockchain and sustainability and how to integrate them for objectives like supply chain management, they may not explicitly address e-commerce in the context of blockchain and sustainability. Further research is needed to explore the specific applications of blockchain in e-commerce and the potential benefits for sustainability [15] (Table 1).…”

<p>This study aims to propose the integration of cyber security measures with sustainable mobile commerce platforms and evaluate their efficacy in promoting social entrepreneurship and sustainability in the field of mobile commerce. A platform was developed for Android and iOS platforms using the Flutter Framework and Dart Programming Language, and it included features designed to help social entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations connect with potential donors, volunteers, and partners. The study includes participants from social entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, and potential donors who are recruited to use the platform to create and promote their social business projects and to provide feedback on their experience using the platform. The results of the integration are expected to show that the mobile platform for social business is effective in promoting social entrepreneurship and sustainable development and in connecting social entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations with potential donors and partners due to the security measures that have been taken in the application and data protection, ensuring privacy with a comparatively lower risk than other platforms. In conclusion, this paper presents a blockchain-based secure mechanism for mobile platforms for m-commerce and social business, which is a valuable tool for promoting social entrepreneurship and sustainable development. It can be used to create a positive social impact in local and, conceivably, international communities. The proposal explicitly explains the methodology and implementation of the platform and highlights the significance and impact of this research in advancing the fields of mobile commerce, social entrepreneurship, and sustainability.</p>

“…Using the two criteria of density and centrality, which are relevant to all study topics, a set of keywords can be seen as a succinct description of a specific research theme [24]. Density determines how closely related all keywords are, while centrality determines how closely related one topic is to another [25]. The density and prominence of the issues determine the division into four sections of a thematic map, also known as a strategic diagram.…”

A decentralised, tamper-proof ledger offered by blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionise the manufacturing sector by enhancing digital rights management, supply chain management, and product monitoring and tracking. Industrial supply chains may be made more transparent, secure, and efficient with the use of blockchain technology. This will save costs, boost quality control, and raise consumer confidence that the goods they buy are genuine and high calibre. However, there is a research gap in the implications of blockchain technology in the manufacturing sector. The aim of this research was to investigate the challenges and opportunities of blockchain technologies in the manufacturing sector. In order to accomplish the study’s goal, a two-stage systematic literature review technique was used, with the PRISMA framework being used to gather pertinent data from reliable sources like Scopus. The study contained 117 research papers, which were analysed using descriptive and scientometric methods and lysis to synthesise the literature and investigate important research clusters using the centrality and co-occurrence of keywords. The study’s conclusions point to the potential of blockchain technology to support decentralised manufacturing systems that provide risk-free and trustworthy cooperation among multiple stakeholders. The report also discusses the advantages and drawbacks of using blockchain in manufacturing and offers information on recent developments in the field of digital manufacturing that are related to blockchain technology. This study emphasises the value of blockchain technology for the industrial sector and the need for more research to fully understand its potential. Blockchain technology may help the manufacturing industry become more effective, transparent, and quality assured while also reducing costs and fostering better confidence among supply chain actors.
