Project Abstract

Abstract
Blockchain technology has gained increasing attention in recent years as a promising solution for enhancing transparency and efficiency in supply chain management processes. This research project focuses on the implementation of blockchain technology in supply chain management to achieve greater transparency and efficiency in the purchasing process. The study aims to investigate how blockchain technology can be effectively utilized to address the challenges faced in traditional supply chain management systems, such as lack of transparency, inefficiencies, and security issues. The research begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of terms. The literature review in Chapter Two explores existing studies and publications related to blockchain technology, supply chain management, transparency, and efficiency in purchasing. The review highlights the benefits and challenges associated with implementing blockchain technology in supply chain management. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The methodology aims to provide a robust framework for conducting the research and collecting relevant data to address the research objectives effectively. In Chapter Four, the discussion of findings delves into the results obtained from the research study. The chapter examines how blockchain technology can enhance transparency and efficiency in supply chain management, specifically focusing on the purchasing process. The findings highlight the potential benefits of implementing blockchain technology in improving supply chain operations and mitigating challenges associated with traditional supply chain management systems. Finally, Chapter Five presents the conclusion and summary of the research project. The chapter discusses the key findings, implications of the research, limitations, recommendations for future research, and practical implications for industry stakeholders. The research concludes that implementing blockchain technology in supply chain management can significantly enhance transparency and efficiency in the purchasing process, leading to improved supply chain performance and customer satisfaction. In summary, this research project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on blockchain technology and its application in supply chain management. By exploring the potential benefits and challenges of implementing blockchain technology in the purchasing process, this study provides valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to leverage blockchain technology for enhancing transparency and efficiency in supply chain management.
