Along with many other discouraging factors, large investments required to enter or develop a blockchain raise barriers to entry. Concerns about potential benefits, on the other hand, have led to companies questioning whether it is worth it. Consequently, many players in the global arena are still preferring to wait by observing current practices before making investments, while trying to figure out what the technology might bring them. Hence, the main purpose of this paper is to research various implementations of blockchain technology in supply chains, in order to learn from its early adopters. For this purpose, we chose case studies as the research method, which we used in a systematic way. We focused on multiple relevant case studies from previous research concerning the use of blockchain technology in supply chain practices. Through a systematic analysis of case studies, the study paper aims at bringing forward different views, approaches and results about blockchain adoption, as a way to show the pros and cons of adopting the technology under certain circumstances. The previous research was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. This paper contributes to the literature by showcasing the use of blockchain in supply chains via multiple cases to learn from early blockchain adopters in supply chain practices.

The technology is impacting our personal and professional lives, with some claiming that the technology will revolutionize and replace existing manufacturing technologies, while others argue that the technology merely enhances some aspects of the production process. Whether evolutionary or revolutionary, 3D printing technology is recognized as a striking trend that will significantly impact supply chains. Although the expansion of 3D printing in the private consumer market is an interesting development in its own right, the biggest potential for disruption lies in industrial applications and how 3D printing will influence supply chains of the future. In this article, we examine the areas of the supply chain most likely to be disrupted by 3D printing technology and we identify the key questions that must be answered in a roadmap for future research and practice. While we seek answers to these questions, we suggest that managers should develop a flexible change management strategy to mitigate the effects of disruption to their future supply chains and take advantage of the resulting opportunities. Those that do nothing will be left wanting, because the influence of 3D printing technology on supply chains is expected to grow. 10a3D printing10aadditive manufacturing10adisruptive innovation10alogistics10asupply chain1 aMohr, Sebastian1 aKhan, Omera  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/94201596nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245004900055210004800104260004200152300001000194490000600204520086400210653002101074653001801095653002101113653002301134653003301157653001601190653001701206653001501223653001701238653002101255100001801276856003601294       2015                        eng d  a1927-032100aBuilding Cyber-Resilience into Supply Chains0 aBuilding CyberResilience into Supply Chains  aOttawabTalent First Networkc04/2015  a19-270 v53 aThe article discusses how an organization can adopt an information-centric approach to protect its information shared in one or more supply chains; clearly communicate the expectations it has for a direct (Tier 1) supplier to protect information; and use contracts and measurement to maintain the protection desired. Building on this foundation, the concept of resilience – and that of cyber-resilience – is discussed, and how an information-centric approach can assist in creating a more cyber-resilient supply chain. Finally, the article concludes with five steps an organization can take to improve the protection of its information:  i) map the supply chain; ii) build capability; iii) share information and expertise; iv) state requirements across the supply chain using standards, common frameworks, and languages; and v) measure, assess, and audit.10acyber-resilience10acybersecurity10adirect suppliers10aindirect suppliers10ainformation-centric approach10aprocurement10arequirements10aresilience10asupply chain10aTier 1 suppliers1 aDavis, Adrian  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/88701718nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245005200055210005100107260004200158300001000200490000600210520114600216653002101362653001801383653002001401653001701421653002201438100001601460856003601476       2015                        eng d  a1927-032100aCybersecurity and Cyber-Resilient Supply Chains0 aCybersecurity and CyberResilient Supply Chains  aOttawabTalent First Networkc04/2015  a28-340 v53 aThere has been a rapid growth in the use of communications and information technology, whether embedded in products, used to deliver services, or employed to enable integration and automation of increasingly global supply chains. Increased use of information technology introduces a number of cybersecurity risks affecting cyber-resilience of the supply chain, both in terms of the product or service delivered to a customer and supply chain operation. The situation is complicated by factors such as the global sourcing of technology components or software, ownership of the systems in a supply chain, different legal jurisdictions involved, and the extensive use of third parties to deliver critical functionality. This article examines the cyber-resilience issues related to the supply of products, services, and the supply chain infrastructure considering the nature of threats and vulnerabilities and the attributes of cybersecurity. In doing so, it applies a model for cybersecurity that is adapted from the Parkerian hexad to explore the security and trustworthiness facets of supply chain operations that may impact cyber-resilience.10acyber-resilience10acybersecurity10arisk management10asupply chain10athreat management1 aBoyes, Hugh  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/88802023nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245004800055210004800103260004200151300001000193490000600203520139300209653001701602653001601619653001601635653002501651653002601676653001701702100002001719700001801739856003601757       2012                        eng d  a1927-032100aProcess Adaptability in the IT Supply Chain0 aProcess Adaptability in the IT Supply Chain  aOttawabTalent First Networkc11/2012  a33-400 v23 aThe continuous pressure to minimize IT costs challenges the IT function to achieve a balance between its own effectiveness and the productivity of the users in the business functions that it serves (i.e., user effectiveness). In many cases, user effectiveness is sacrificed to ensure IT function effectiveness. Process adaptability improves the IT organization’s entrepreneurial ability by balancing these conflicting productivity and performance objectives.

This article applies a process-ambidexterity framework to examine how process adaptability in IT is affected by the choice of different strategies for IT Demand Management as well as different fulfillment strategies for IT Supply Chain Management. Alternative fulfillment strategies are presented, along with criteria and indicators that impact IT and user effectiveness that have been applied within major firms. 

IT and senior business executives will find this article valuable for helping understand how they can influence the balance between IT and user productivity through their choice of different Demand Management and IT fulfillment strategies. Academic readers will discover that, while process adaptability in IT is an important enabler for implementing dynamic alignment between business and IT function objectives, there may be circumstances where IT process adaptability is not a priority for the business.10aexploitation10aexploration10aIT function10aprocess adaptability10aprocess ambidexterity10asupply chain1 aRenaud, Paul, E1 aBot, Sonia, D  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/627
