Manufacturing companies face significant challenges due to rapid changes in globalized markets and open economies, which are experiencing mega-trends such as urbanization, globalization, and individualization. For sustainable growth, advanced technology is necessary. However, selecting technology is a difficult task due to the wide variety of options in the market. Technology has become a fundamental strategic factor for the growth and profitability of companies. The main objective of this paper is to propose a model and a methodological proposal for technology selection in the context of Industry 4.0 manufacturing. The proposed methodology is divided into three stages: The first stage is of knowledge and intervention, which allows for the socialization of the model and data collection. The second stage is the operational stage, where a hybrid method of FAHP and FANP is used to determine the weights of the factors considered. Lastly, the third stage is the analysis and evaluation stage, where the analysis, discussion, and evaluation of the results take place. To validate the proposed model, the methodology was applied to two case studies in Chilean industrial companies. The results obtained through the FAHP and FANP algorithms enabled decision makers to manage and select the most suitable technology from the wide variety of options available in today’s markets.

“…On the one hand, blockchain technology reduces the risk of the circulation of poor-quality goods in the supply chain, according to Erokhin et al [160], and on the other hand, information sharing in real time allows for the unreserved disclosure of personal privacy (De Aguiar et al [161] and Choi et al [162]). In 2020, as blockchain technology matured, it was used in more industries: the agricultural industry by Iqbal et al [163] and Lin et al [164], industry 4.0 by Chang et al [165], and smart cities by Makhdoom et al [166]. In 2020, scholars began to refect on whether there are some safety hazards in the excessive use of blockchain.…”

Blockchain technology can be used to record real data at various nodes in the entire supply chain and can achieve timely data sharing and full traceability of the whole lifecycle of products in the supply chain. This study conducts a systematic literature review based on the WOS database, focusing on the research topic of the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management. We propose clear search and screening criteria based on 4 research questions and finally obtain 591 target studies. We conduct a detailed study on the distribution of the target literature in this research area, country/region, institution, and journal. Different countries/regions cooperate with each other and, thus, are clustered into five significant countries regions’ cooperation networks. There is a strong coupling relationship between research institutions, forming four major institutional cooperation networks. According to the analysis of those papers with a high number of citations, most of such papers were published in 2019, while the cross-citation phenomenon between papers occurred more frequently in 2021 and 2022. We use VOSviewer for visual coupling analysis of all keywords, which are automatically clustered into three research hotspots. Using CiteSpace to perform timeline-based keyword cooccurrence analysis, we find that scholars have gone through a “discovery-acceptance-question-improvement” process for the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management. According to the intensity and duration of burst detection words in different years, we draw three key points for future research. (i) Blockchain technology should be used to restructure and optimize the high-end food and medical cold chain supply chains. (ii) Blockchain technology should be used to enhance the cooperative relationship between supply chain members and the overall competitiveness of the supply chain. (iii) Innovate blockchain encryption technology that should be used to reduce the risk of information and privacy leakage in the supply chain.

“…While a blockchain can provide such bene ts, such applications remain far from reality, notwithstanding the existing limitations of blockchain applications in the business world (Harvard Business Review, 2018; Pal et al, 2021). Rather than bene ting employees, such blockchain initiatives may have the unintended consequence of terminating employees recorded on the Blockchain or perceived to be low-skilled (Chang, 2020;Kim et al, 2020). As a result, this might lead to an initiative to replace low-skilled workers with highskilled workers (Chang, 2020).…”

Blockchain and human resource management: Emerging themes and research agenda

The potential of Blockchain to solve human resource management (HRM) pain points is increasingly being pitched. This review explores the value of Blockchain in HRM. A systematic search of 622 documents from Scopus, Web of Science, Business Source Complete, ABI/INFORM Collection, and Emerald Insight yielded 25 articles on Blockchain's potential for HRM. The analysis suggests that (1) rather than comparing HR professionals' awareness of blockchain technology against non-HR professionals, it is necessary to inquire about HR professionals' awareness level of the technology; (2) while Blockchain has potential for HRM, the advantages of Blockchain in HRM are often perceived rather than actual, and a convincing rationale for adoption is lacking; (3) the cited contributions of Blockchain to HRM assume a range of assumptions about Blockchain in the cryptocurrency world and reflect a high-level understanding of what Blockchain is or may be; (4) HR professionals and their organisations must examine the likely consequences of blockchain adoption, such as the need for highly sought-after skills, skill distribution between Blockchain and workers, and workers with obsolete skills, and (5) research focus should be on how to deal with the challenges of blockchain adoption rather than the perks that an organisation and HR professionals may gain. Research questions are offered after each theme to encourage further research.
