Also, how as a part of unorganized retailing, the rural retailer represents his unique characteristics was investigated. The parameters of their merchandising, their advantages of social capital, vulnerability and drawbacks of rural retailer’s remoteness was revisited too. This article took a consolidative literature review method where secondary information and data were collected. Numerous journals, research article, publications written on rural retailers were collected, analysed and evaluated. Renowned database and search engines like Google scholar, Elsevier, Emerald, and JSTOR were reviewed for collecting relevant journal articles and research papers. This study later presented a synthesized discussion on how as a vital link of the urban to rural supply chain, rural retailers act as a ‘lifeline’ of daily necessities. The realities that contributes to their success and failures are discussed as well. Subsequently, as the rural retailers have a very important role to play in the developing economy, the unmistakable need of further, in-depth research on them became very evident.","PeriodicalId":37872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Construction Supply Chain Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87357098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to investigate the way in which blockchain technology is likely to influence future supply chain practices in energy sector. \u0000Methodology: A systematic review of both academic and nonacademic literature was conducted to gain a deep insight on the possibilities of leveraging the blockchain technology to create a more resilient supply chain for oil & gas industry. Toward this goal, the theoretical foundations of numerous research papers published in high-profile scientific journals over the past few years, along with several reports generated by well reputable and prestigious consulting firms that have been used to outlook the potential and relevance of blockchain technology for energy industry applications. \u0000Results: Blockchain can bring many opportunities to the oil & gas industry, such as reducing transaction costs and improving transparency and efficiency. However, since it is still in the early stage of the application, there are still many challenges, primarily technological, regulatory and system transformation. The development of blockchains in the oil & gas industry will move toward hybrid blockchain architecture, multi-technology combination, cross-chain, hybrid consensus mechanisms, and more interdisciplinary professionals. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This paper offers valuable insight for supply chain practitioners into how blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt existing supply chain provisions as well as a number of challenges to its successful spreading. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is one of the first studies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to explore the possibility of leveraging the blockchain technology to create a more resilient supply chain for oil & gas industry. Blockchain is a promising breakthrough technology and is highly applicable to vast businesses. However, it is still hard to find empirical evidence to show the comparison between blockchain approaches and traditional approaches. In view of this, businesses should realize that blockchain technology has not yet reached an optimal level of maturity, and therefore thorough feasibility studies should be conducted before using this technology.","PeriodicalId":37872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Construction Supply Chain Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72619003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information flow plays an integral role in determining the effectiveness of supply chain processes and how they enhance firm performance. Outsourcing logistics comes with varied risks and one of the risks is management risks. These risks are aligned with the administrative differences between the outsourced company and the manufacturing firm, which could affect the effectiveness of the cooperation towards enhanced performance. \u0000Methodology: The study was informed by core competency theory. Both descriptive and explanatory research designs were adopted. The unit of observation was the supply chain administrators of manufacturing firms in Kenya. Stratified sampling was conducted on all the one thousand one hundred and twenty three manufacturing firms registered by KAM, simple random sampling was carried out on the strata to identify a sample size of 295 firms. The study relied on primary data which was collected through semi-structured questionnaires that were administered to administrators charged with the management of supply chain within the selected firms.
