Abstract

The goal of the study is to describe blockchain technology as it relates to enhancing supply chains in the retail sector in order to achieve sustainability. This study offers a critical analysis of the possible applications of blockchain technology and smart contracts to supply chain management. This paper explains how Blockchain technology may be used by customers and merchants in a variety of retail business operations to great advantage. By adopting a modified version of the UTUAT model, this study validates the possibility of using blockchain for supply chain management in the retail industry. The study found a significant and positive correlation between behavioral intention and acceptance toward employing block networks in supply chain management in the retail business. The behavior intention (BI) to adopt blockchain technology is significantly influenced by performance expectations, effect expectations, subjective standards, and enabling variables. The performance and effort expectations have a considerable impact on the BI to adopt blockchain in supply chain management.

본 연구에서는 블록체인 기술의 지속 가능성을 달성하기 위해 소매 공급망을 개선할 수 있는 방법과 공급망 관리에 대한 잠재적인 블록체인 및 스마트 계약 애플리케이션에 대한 분석 결과를 제시하였다. 또한 블록체인 기술이 어떻게 다양한 소매점 운영에서 고객과 상인 모두에게 많은 이익을 줄 수 있을지 그 방법을 제안하였다. UTUAT 모델의 수정된 버전을 활용하여 소매점에서 공급망 관리를 위한 블록체인 사용의 실행 가능성을 추가적으로 검증하였다. 그리고 소매 산업의 공급망 관리에서 블록 네트워크 사용에 대한 행동 의도와 수용 사이에 통계적으로 중요하고 긍정적인 연관성이 있음이 확인되었다. 블록체인 기술을 채택하려는 행동 의도(BI)는 성능 기대치, 효과 기대치, 주관적 기준 및 활성화 변수에 의해 크게 영향을 받고 있고 성능 및 노력 기대치는 공급망 관리에서 블록체인을 채택하려는 행동 의도에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
