Abstract

The development of blockchain projects in supply chains is likely to impact the complex relational space informed by the promotion of data exchange, transparency, and trust. Our paper therefore poses the following question: How does blockchain technology impact on the nature and quality of relationships between actors within a supply chain? To answer this question, we chose network theory to build our analytical framework supported by the analysis of a case study in the field of river transport. The findings show that the impact varies according to the nature of the selected blockchain (single-actor, consortium, or hybrid blockchain) and reinforces the mechanisms already present within networks: centralization, delegation of rights, and growth of the network or not.
