Abstract: The healthcare industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation, and blockchain technology has evolved as a budding remedy because of some of its previous challenges. Blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, can securely, safely and transparently record and store data. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are electronically stored health information in a digital format. This paper discusses the possible uses of blockchain technology in healthcare and its potential advantages and benefits. The discussion of the paper begins with the challenges faced by the healthcare industry in present time, such as the lack of interoperability, data security concerns, and inefficiencies in healthcare delivery. The discussion then turns to how blockchain technology can help avoid these challenges by offering a secure, immutable, and transparent platform for healthcare data sharing. The paper also discusses how of blockchain technology can be used in healthcare in present time, such as patient identity management, Electronic Health Records (EHRs), clinical trials, and supply chain management. For each use-case, the paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain technology and provides some examples of blockchainbased solutions. Also, the paper describes some of the technical factors, such as scalability, privacy, interoperability, and regulatory compliance, that must be taken into account while using blockchain in the healthcare industry. The paper also looks over the challenges and restrictions of using blockchain technology in healthcare, such as the high computational costs and the requirement for standardization. Finally, the paper concludes by discussing the impact of blockchain technology on the healthcare sector, like improving patient outcomes, cutting costs, and enabling new business models. The spotlight of the paper is that in spite of the fact that blockchain technology does not offer a fix for every issue plaguing the healthcare sector, the study argues that it has the capability to be an important tool for improve healthcare outcomes and delivery. In conclusion, blockchain technology has the capacity to modify healthcare by strengthening patient privacy, streamlining data management, and managing clinical trials and the supply chain management. The healthcare sector must address a number of technological, organisational, and regulatory obstacles to fully achieve these advantages.

Reliability checking and performance analysis of stake holder of E-SCM using machine learning and petrinets

Electronic commerce or E-commerce (sometimes written as E-commerce) is a business model that lets firms and individuals buy and sell things over the internet.E-commerce provides the sellers with a global reach. They remove the barrier of place. Now sellers and buyers can meet in the virtual world, without the hindrance of location.Supply chain management is coordination of all supply activities of an organization from its suppliers and partners to its customers efficiently and effectively. Electronic supply chain management (E-SCM) is collaborative use of technology to improve the operations of supply chain activities as well as the management of supply chains. The advantages of E-SCM are many, and include timely order-processing, improved inventory tracking and management, improved accuracy in order fulfillment. But which E-SCM is a reliable one is a bothering question of a customer. The customer is the most important and integral part of the supply chain. Neglecting the customer in this chain can cause breakdown of the entire process.The electronic supply chain provides retailers and their suppliers a medium for instant communication. But can a customer rely on a paticular retailer and can the customer expect his product on time. This reliability can be checked by using Bayesian appoach. Then petrinet is used to check the performance of retailers, manufacturers and suppliers and find out when the product will reach the customer through this E-SCM. Using web design tools a webpage is created to give information about supplier. The given information is checked in the background for its authenticity. Later the delivery details will be sent to customer only if information is authentic. This will benefit the customers from fraud sites and help them find a reliable retailer and improves reliability of customer on retailer. Also helps customers in taking decision to place the orders. If order is placed then predicts the number of days taken to deliver that product to customer. Therefore helping the customer to keep track of the order. Hence overall satisfaction of the customer is improved.

IT resources and quality attributes: The impact on electronic green supply chain management implementation and performance

Although electronic green supply chain management (e-GSCM) has been increasingly adopted into organizations, there is limited empirical research examining antecedents and consequences of e-GSCM implementation. By integrating resource-based and information system success perspectives, this study aims to examine how information technology (IT) resources (i.e., IT infrastructure, IT human and IT relationship resources) and quality attributes (i.e., system quality, information quality, and service quality) influence e-GSCM implementation, which in turn influences firm performance. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to analyze the survey of 264 IT managers in large Taiwanese firms. The results show that IT human resources, IT relationship resources, system quality, and information quality significantly drive both e-GSCM internal integration and external collaboration. However, IT infrastructure resources only influence e-GSCM internal integration, and service quality only influences e-GSCM external collaboration. The results also demonstrate that both e-GSCM internal integration and external collaboration are conducive to superior environmental performance and firm competitiveness. Based on the findings, this study discusses the implications for researchers and practitioners.

Interplay among blockchain technology adoption strategy, e-supply chain management diffusion, entrepreneurial orientation and human resources information system in banking

PurposeTo empirically study the direct and mediating relationships between blockchain technology adoption strategy (BCTAS), electronic supply chain management diffusion (eSCMD), entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and human resources information system (HRIS) in Egyptian banks. This paper aims to connect the dots and show the relationships linking these related constructs after the emergence of this breakthrough blockchain technology.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have undertaken a thematic review of relevant multidisciplinary business management literature and then developed a conceptual model. This model was examined through adopting a mixed-methods approach, through which 300 quantitative questionnaires were filled by information technology (IT) staff at 12 banks in Egypt utilising a snowball sample. Besides, 20 qualitative interviews were carried out with international and Egyptian blockchain experts for exploratory and explanatory purposes. The suggested hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results revealed that EO affects positively and significantly BCTAS and HRIS. BCTAS affects positively and significantly both HRIS and eSCMD. Concerning the linkage between external/supply chain and internal/organisational information diffusion, HRIS has a positive and significant effect on eSCMD. The direct EO–eSCMD relationship is not supported. Yet, indirectly, BCTAS mediates significantly EO–eSCMD and EO–HRIS relationships. Further, HRIS mediates significantly the indirect BCTAS–eSCMD relationship.Practical implicationsThe findings of this research shed light on the benefits and challenges of adopting BCTAS within emerging markets in general and Egyptian banking in specific, which can support an effective and efficient decision-making process undertaken by strategic and functional banking managers with EO in similar emerging economies.Originality/valueConceptually and empirically, it is the first article that investigated direct and mediating EO–BCTAS–HRIS–eSCMD relationships in a promising banking industry of an emerging market. It solved an interdisciplinary research puzzle by piecing together the relevant contemporary literature on production, operations and SC management, entrepreneurship, HR management and strategic technology adoption.

Supply Chain Performance in the era of Digitisation: The role of Electronic Supply Chain Management

The advancements in information technology have enabled the supply chain members to share real-time information, which further facilitates the integration of supply chain members. Since supply chain integration is a prerequisite in achieving superior supply chain performance, the objective of the current study is to determine the relationship between IT-enabled supply chain management (e-supply chain management), supply chain integration, information sharing and the performance of supply chain as a whole. Also, many authors are of the view that e-SCM and information sharing can positively enhance the integration among supply chain members, thus, another objective is to determine whether supply chain integration mediates the relationship between e-SCM and supply chain performance or not. Similar relationship is tested with information sharing as a mediator. For this, samples of 293 respondents are taken from the pharmaceutical manufacturing units and pharmacies in India. Structural equation modelling is applied to test these relationships.

E-Supply Chain Management Model for Garment & Textile Industry with Limitation of Technological Capabilities

Electronic Supply Chain Management (E-SCM) can be implemented by collaborating several electronic concepts for business process such as E-Transportation, E-Distribution, E-Fulfilment, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS). These concepts require high technology, expensive implementation, high skill and cost in development. Garment and textile are the most numerous industries in Indonesia, especially in West Java, E-SCM can increased efficiency and effectively for textile or garment companies, but E-SCM development requires high costs and high technology. These are problems when many garment and textile companies in Indonesia have limited capabilities of technology. In this research we design new E-SCM model with Value Chain Analysis approach and used Software Architectural Design to make the model. We divided E-SCM system for garment and textile industry in multiple layers and then we collaborate with two existing E-SCM frameworks, namely E-Supply Chain Management Process and Technology Integration Framework and E-SCM Multi-Agent System Framework. We combine layers components with the relevant layers of the existing E-SCM frameworks. The result is a new E-SCM model for garment and textile industry that can accommodate limitations of technological capabilities.
