What is Pre- to post-adoption of blockchain technology in supply chain management: Influencing factors and the role of firm size about?
A C T Blockchain technology (BT) provides secure, fast, and confidential distributed systems that can solve many complex issues in supply chain management (SCM). Drawing on the technology, organization, and environment framework, institutional theory, and information system success model, this study proposes a pre-to postadoption framework for BT in SCM. Data were collected online from 272 upper-level management of Chinese supply chain organizations. The results reveal that pre-adoption factors, including traceability, transparency, organizational readiness, coercive pressure, and normative pressure, positively influence BT adoption, whereas security concerns negatively affect it. The findings further indicate the positive impact of actual use on infusion and performance, and information technology alignment moderates these associations in the post-adoption stage. Interestingly, the moderating results of firm size demonstrate a significant difference in security concerns and organizational readiness, where large organizations have higher readiness and lower security concerns than smaller firms.
