Abstract

AbstractIn the construction industry context, misalignments in the supply chain pose significant challenges, hindering successful project delivery. To address these issues, blockchain technology emerges as a promising IT-based solution for achieving supply chain alignment. A conceptual model is developed based on the service-dominant logic theory that explores the impact of blockchain on supply chain alignment and co-created value outcomes within the Business-to-Business (B2B) construction context. Through a questionnaire-based approach, data were collected from 324 respondents in the global construction industry, which was then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings demonstrate the positive impact of implementing blockchain technology on competency, behavioural, process, and expectations alignment among supply chain partners. These improvements in alignment collectively contribute to the realization of supply chain value outcomes. These results emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach combining technology with alignment efforts to realize blockchain-enabled value co-creation in construction supply chain management.Keywords: Blockchainsupply chain managementalignmentvalue co-creationvalue outcomesconstruction industry Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data supporting this study’s findings are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Notes1 Blockchain systems can be classified as permissioned (e.g. Hyperledger Fabric) or permissionless (e.g. Ethereum) depending on their consensus mechanism.

区块链在实现建筑行业组织间供应链对齐以共同创造价值方面的作用

摘要在建筑行业的背景下，供应链的错位构成了重大挑战，阻碍了项目的成功交付。为了解决这些问题，区块链技术作为一种有前途的基于it的解决方案出现，用于实现供应链一致性。基于服务主导逻辑理论开发了一个概念模型，该模型探讨了区块链对企业对企业(B2B)构建环境中供应链对齐和共同创造价值结果的影响。通过基于问卷的方法，从全球建筑行业的324名受访者中收集数据，然后使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。研究结果表明，实施区块链技术对供应链合作伙伴之间的能力、行为、流程和期望一致性产生了积极影响。这些一致性方面的改进共同有助于实现供应链价值结果。这些结果强调了将技术与协调工作相结合的综合方法在建筑供应链管理中实现区块链价值共同创造的重要性。关键词:区块链供应链管理结盟价值共创价值成果建筑业披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突数据可得性声明支持本研究结果的数据可根据通讯作者的合理要求提供。注1区块链系统可以根据其共识机制分为许可(例如Hyperledger Fabric)或无许可(例如以太坊)。一个没有中央权威的无许可公共网络，一个由一个权威控制的许可专用网络，以及一个由一组控制的许可联盟，这只是可以用于区块链平台的各种组织结构的几个例子(Sheth和Dattani Citation2019)。

期刊介绍： Construction Management and Economics publishes high-quality original research concerning the management and economics of activity in the construction industry. Our concern is the production of the built environment. We seek to extend the concept of construction beyond on-site production to include a wide range of value-adding activities and involving coalitions of multiple actors, including clients and users, that evolve over time. We embrace the entire range of construction services provided by the architecture/engineering/construction sector, including design, procurement and through-life management. We welcome papers that demonstrate how the range of diverse academic and professional disciplines enable robust and novel theoretical, methodological and/or empirical insights into the world of construction. Ultimately, our aim is to inform and advance academic debates in the various disciplines that converge on the construction sector as a topic of research. While we expect papers to have strong theoretical positioning, we also seek contributions that offer critical, reflexive accounts on practice. Construction Management & Economics now publishes the following article types: -Research Papers -Notes - offering a comment on a previously published paper or report a new idea, empirical finding or approach. -Book Reviews -Letters - terse, scholarly comments on any aspect of interest to our readership. Commentaries -Obituaries - welcome in relation to significant figures in our field.
