Abstract

Blockchain technology is considered to be the representative technology of the fourth technological revolution, and logistics and supply chain field has been considered as the main application direction in the next step by industry and academia. In order to study the behavior and intention of Chinese cross-border logistics enterprises to introduce blockchain into internal supply chain, this paper constructs a model of cross-border logistics enterprises adopting blockchain technology on the basis of bounded rationality based on the game model, this paper attempts to find out the factors that affect the introduction of blockchain into the internal supply chain through mathematical derivation and numerical analysis. The game results show that the willingness of cross-border logistics enterprises to adopt blockchain is closely related to the technical ability of blockchain, the incremental performance after the introduction of blockchain, the conversion cost of blockchain technology, and other factors. Enterprises should coordinate various factors and choose to adopt blockchain technology according to their own situation.

Highlights

  • Blockchain technology, as an integrated and innovative product of chain data structure, distributed database, cryptography encryption, intelligent contract and other technologies, has been extended from the original financial field to other fields in recent years, such as data transaction and sharing, intellectual property management, information security

  • This paper studies the process of cross-border logistics enterprises adopting blockchain in the internal supply chain of the organization, and does not involve different enterprises using blockchain technology in the joint supply chain

  • We find that there is still a large literature gap in the research on the adoption of blockchain in China's specific industries, especially in the field of logistics and supply chain

Summary

Introduction

Blockchain technology, as an integrated and innovative product of chain data structure, distributed database, cryptography encryption, intelligent contract and other technologies, has been extended from the original financial field to other fields in recent years, such as data transaction and sharing, intellectual property management, information security. In the field of logistics and supply chain, the problems such as product tracking and quality assurance, poor control capability of the whole process, high risk of data and privacy leakage, and difficulty of information sharing of carrier have not been fundamentally solved. Many studies have involved the application of blockchain technology in the cross-border logistics industry. Edvard tijan et al studied the possibility of the development of distributed data storage technology represented by blockchain in Sustainable Logistics and supply chain management. We find that there is still a large literature gap in the research on the adoption of blockchain in China's specific industries, especially in the field of logistics and supply chain. China's cross-border commerce and logistics industry has developed rapidly, and the application of digital technology in this industry is very high. This paper constructs a dynamic model for cross-border logistics enterprises to adopt blockchain technology This paper attempts to use mathematical derivation method to explore the main factors that affect the adoption behavior of enterprises, so as to provide some reference for enterprises
