“…Consistent digital foundations must be developed to enable appealing CE business models globally and to accelerate the CE transition in an effective, sustainable way (Kayikci, Kazancoglu, Lafci, & Gozacan, 2021) since digitalisation enables interoperability, neutrality, open software platform, data owner controls, and also reduced cost, time, and risk (Jensen, 2021). Blockchain is viewed as the next technological behemoth (Kayikci, Usar, & Aylak, 2021). Blockchain has a great potential to support business, strategy, environment, and sustainability (Bai et al, 2020).…”

“…Blockchain is a core technology with potential uses in data protection as well as business activities, particularly its application to cryptocurrencies (Kumar et al, 2021). Kayikci, Usar, and Aylak (2021) suggested developing blockchain-based CSC. However, blockchain deployment in the supply chain is still in its infancy; Therefore, the real practices of blockchain-based CSC are still scarce (Wang et al, 2020).…”

Critical success factors for implementing blockchain‐based circular supply chain

The growing importance of the circular economy has emphasised optimal utilisation of resources within the constraints of economic development and protection of the environment. Digital technologies associated with Industry 4.0, such as blockchain, facilitate the implementation of circular economy principles throughout the supply chain. However, because blockchain implementation in the supply chain is still in the early stages, real‐world examples of the blockchain‐based circular supply chains (CSCs) are limited. The principal purpose of the paper is to examine the critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing blockchain‐based CSCs. Following that, 10 CSFs are identified through a short systematic literature review, and then, the integrated fuzzy cognitive mapping and fuzzy best‐worst method (FCM‐FBWM) is implemented to examine CSFs for the blockchain‐based CSC. The study's main findings demonstrate that network collaboration is the best CSF, while the shared circular economy toolbox is counted worst of all. This research enriches the literature by identifying the CSFs for implementing blockchain‐enabled CSCs to address the lack of a suitable decision‐making framework that assists managers in comprehending how blockchain technology can be adopted in the circular economy context. Implications for theory and practice are also discussed, offering new insights into the measures necessary to ensure successful blockchain implementations in CSCs.

“…As one of the cutting-edge technologies in the Industry 4.0 era, blockchain is defined as "a digital, decentralized and distributed ledger in which transactions are logged and added in chronological order with the goal of creating permanent and tamperproof records" [164]. The technology can potentially increase operational excellence by providing complete visibility and tracking of food products across the entire FSC, from harvesting through processing, warehousing, transportation, and retailing [165]. The use of blockchain can have a number of positive effects on the FSC, including increased food safety and security, better quality management, less illegal counterfeiting, and more sustainable supply chain management [88].…”

“…Future studies may also provide additional insights into the combination of blockchain and other technologies (e.g., the internet of things, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, etc.) that can improve automation and integration and further enhance the blockchain's capabilities to achieve operational excellence in the perishable food supply chain [165]. Finally, an investigation of technology acceptance by consumers may inform food organizations and industry stakeholders about the enablers and barriers to blockchain adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic and similar crises.…”

Recently, the food supply chain (FSC) has been severely disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, putting the vital flow of food products from farmers and producers to the ultimate consumers at risk. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, several food organizations have been prompted to rethink their strategies for the future. Although the literature on FSC research in the COVID-19 era is increasing, no attempt has been made to summarize this stream of research using bibliometric techniques. This paper fills this knowledge gap and looks at the current scholarly discourse around the FSC and COVID-19. Applying bibliometric techniques, 287 journal articles were extracted from Scopus and analyzed to determine the temporal evolution of FSC research, the most productive journals, researchers, countries, and the most relevant keywords and publications. To construct a keyword co-occurrence network and categorize the relevant literature, we used the computer program VOSviewer. The findings demonstrate the rapid expansion of FSC research during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the top authors, publications, and nations for scientific output were also determined. Keyword co-occurrence network and detailed qualitative analysis both illustrate that FSC research revolves around six main themes: the impact of COVID-19 on the FSC and agriculture, FSC resilience, food waste and insecurity, fisheries and aquaculture, blockchain technology, and governance and innovation. This study represents the first effort to map worldwide FSC research in the COVID-19 era and draw on a comprehensive collection of journal articles and bibliometric approaches. It offers academics, practitioners, and decision-makers a snapshot of the state of the art in the FSC field and points to where further research is needed.

Blockchain entrepreneurship roles for circular supply chain transition

The transition to a circular supply chain (CSC) is a prerequisite to establish sustainability in the supply chain. Blockchain‐based CSC enables stakeholders to effectively manage their decision‐making processes, increase revenue, reduce time and costs and ensure information synchronisation. Blockchain start‐ups play an essential role in facilitating the transition from a linear to a circular economy while supporting the development of CSCs. This research aims to explore the role of blockchain entrepreneurship in the transition to CSC by evaluating circular blockchain start‐ups. This research contributes to the literature by providing verified roles of blockchain entrepreneurship in the transition to CSC by evaluating the literature and blockchain start‐ups. Another contribution is that the causal relationships between these roles are analysed. In this study, an integrated three‐step methodology including Systematic Literature Review (SLR), Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), and Fuzzy Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (Fuzzy‐DEMATEL) methods on the base of the theory of change is proposed. An SLR is performed to determine the roles of blockchain entrepreneurship. Then, a QCA is conducted after identifying the roles for verification by evaluations of use cases of blockchain start‐ups. Finally, the causal relationships between these roles are interpreted by using Fuzzy‐DEMATEL. Findings indicate that blockchain entrepreneurship has 12 fundamental roles in facilitating the transition from a linear to a circular economy while supporting the development of CSCs.
