Supply chain structure and blockchain deployment in competing supply chains
摘 要：
This talk is about the structures and blockchain deployment strategies of two competing manufacturer-retailer supply chains. Unlike prior literature focusing on blockchain deployment in decentralized supply chains, in this paper, we examine three potential supply chain structures: both decentralized, only one centralized, and both centralized. We derive the equilibrium blockchain deployment strategies for these three supply chain structures, contingent upon the customers’ privacy concerns. Our main findings are as follows. First, centralized supply chains always result in lower retail prices regardless of the blockchain deployment strategy. Second, the optimal supply chain structures and blockchain deployment strategies are interlinked. Third, for all supply chain structures, deploying blockchain (or non-blockchain) benefits both supply chains when customers’ privacy concerns are low (high). Importantly, when customers’ privacy concerns are medium, the blockchain strategy can transition from non-deployment to deployment, depending on the supply chain structures. Finally, we may discuss the research stream of the benefits of supply chain (partial) centralization.
