“…Table 6 discusses some of the challenges for blockchain implementation in SCs ( Allen et al, 2019 , Hartley and Sawaya, 2019 , Kumar et al, 2020 , Wang et al, 2019a ). Note that in the literature, a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model has been established to study the adoption factors (see Queiroz et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Blockchain technology creates a secure and visible chain of custody for all members of the supply chain [87]. It is recommended for organizations to adopt the following disruption prevention mechanisms: appointing a visionary leader for technological decisions, creating a technology roadmap that is aligned with the organization's supply chain processes, and updating all information systems, even those at a foundational level [88]. Blockchain, together with Big Data and cognitive computing, has a significant potential to disrupt many of the current practices in routine disease surveillance systems and the strengthening of healthcare research [89].…”

Through a systematic review of publications in reputed peer-reviewed journals, this paper investigates the role of blockchain technology in sustainable supply chain management. It uses the What, Who, Where, When, How, and Why (5W+1H) pattern to formulate research objectives and questions. The review considers publications since 2015, and it includes 187 papers published in 2017, 2018, 2019, and the early part of 2020, since no significant publications were found in the year 2015 or 2016 on this subject. It proposes a reusable classification framework—emerging technology literature classification level (ETLCL) framework—based on grounded theory and the technology readiness level for conducting literature reviews in various focus areas of an emerging technology. Subsequently, the study uses ETLCL to classify the literature on our focus area. The results show traceability and transparency as the key benefits of applying blockchain technology. They also indicate a heightened interest in blockchain-based information systems for sustainable supply chain management starting since 2017. This paper offers invaluable insights for managers and leaders who envision sustainability as an essential component of their business. The findings demonstrate the disruptive power and role of blockchain-based information systems. Given the relative novelty of the topic and its scattered literature, the paper helps practitioners examining its various aspects by directing them to the right information sources.

“…This variation comes from the ambiguity of this term so far. So, there is no clarity about what Digital Transformation is precisely (Castelo-Branco et al, 2019;Hartley & Sawaya, 2019;Kolla et al, 2019;Tokody, 2018;Vial, 2019;Zangiacomi et al, 2020). -Most of the authors use the term "Digital Technologies" in their definition which means that technology is a crucial element in the Digital Transformation in any industry specifically the manufacturing industry (Cachada et al, 2019;Dombrowski & Fochler, 2018;Lee et al, 2011;Mittal et al, 2019) -There are unclear terms such as social welfare or using specific examples that weaken the definition.…”

Digital transformation is one of the most evolving areas both in the research literature and in industrial applications. No doubt that this process will be crucial in the survival of any manufacturing organisation in the future, especially during the current COVID-19 crisis. This paper aims to present a review of the concept in the manufacturing industry through the literature currently available on the topic. The literature was classified, and the results of each study were analysed. From this review, six critical findings have been identified in this paper. First, this paper proposes a definition of Digital Transformation and its concept development in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, significant challenges that exist in the manufacturing industry in the implementation of the digital transformation process have been classified as well as the major enabling technologies that help to implement the Digital Transformation. Finally, the benefits of implementing Digital Transformation in the manufacturing industry and its impact on the manufacturing ecosystem have been highlighted. Following a comprehensive review of the literature, future research directions are formulated to identify abundant research opportunities.
