Blockchain provides a secure ledger of transactions, programmable smart contracts, and real-time trustworthy visibility and insight into the supply chain process.

For all the promises it offers to supply chain professionals, however, there's very little guidance available on how organizations should begin evaluating and using it. Integrating Blockchain into Supply Chain Management provides that much needed step by step guidance.

Integrating Blockchain into Supply Chain Management is a very practical book of tools, frameworks and case studies. It will help students and supply chain managers to evaluate the value proposition blockchain brings. It will then guide them through essential processes for making informed, practical, timely, and business-savvy decisions for using blockchain as an effective supply chain tool. It includes a valuable benchmark survey of the state of play in blockchain in supply chain management, including organisations such as Tyson Foods, IBM and Coca Cola, as well as downloadable frameworks and tools.

Industry Reviews

"Offers insight into how and where to consider blockchain in the supply chain and how to approach geting started. Blockchain has not yet proven to be a scalable solution for supply chain problems, but in isolated cases use cases it has already become an enabler of new value creation and capability development. This book will be helpful for supply chain leaders to separate hype from reality as they shape their strategy." * Cameron Geiger, Senior Vice President, Walmart US Supply Chain *
"The most successful supply chain leaders are inquisitive about new technologies. The authors' research and deep passion to find out all we can and anticipate future options are laid out in an easy-to-understand fashion. The content is absorbable and engaging, and readers will certainly be better equipped as the future of blockchain unfolds." * Rick Blasgen, President and CEO, Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals *
