"The Impact of the Blockchain on the Supply Chain: A Theory-Based Research Framework and a Call for Action"2018 in: Supply Chain Management: An International Journal. Volume: 23. Issue number: 6 Pages: 545-559
Purpose - This paper strives to close the current research gap pertaining to potential implications of the Blockchain for SCM by presenting a framework built on four established economic theories (principal agent theory, transaction cost analysis, resource-based view, network theory). These theories can be used to derive research questions that are theory-based as well as relevant for the industry. This paper is intended to initiate and stimulate an academic discussion on the potential impact of the Blockchain and introduces a framework for middle-range theorizing together with several research questions.
Design/methodology/approach - This paper builds on previous theories that are frequently used in SCM research and shows how they can be adapted to Blockchain-related questions.
Findings - This paper introduces a framework for middle-range theorizing together with several research questions.
Research limitations/implications – The paper presents Blockchain-related research questions derived from four frequently used theories: namely principal agent theory (PAT), transaction cost theory (TCA), resource-based view (RBV) and network theory (NT). These questions will guide future research pertaining to structural (PAT, TCA) and managerial issues (RBV, NT) and will foster middle-range theory development in SCM research.
Practical implications - Blockchain technology has the potential to significantly change SCM. Given the huge investments by industry, academic research is needed that investigates potential implications and supports companies. In this paper various research questions are introduced that illustrate how the implications of Blockchain on SCM can be investigated from different perspectives.
Originality/value - To the best of our knowledge, no academic papers are published in leading academic journals that investigate the relationship between SCM and Blockchain from a theory-based perspective.

"Optimal levels of (de)centralization for resilient supply chains"2018 in: International Journal of Logistics Management. Volume: 29. Issue number: 1 Pages: 435-455
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how centralization and decentralization of supply chains (SCs) play a major role in creating organizational resilience.
Design/methodology/approach – Starting with the basic tenets of contingency theory and applying a grounded theory approach, results from exploratory qualitative and quantitative studies are combined to investigate the impact of (de)centralization on SC resilience capabilities.
Findings – The findings from a comprehensive literature review combined with two empirical surveys indicate that four important organizational capabilities are needed in order to cope with internal and external disruptions: fast reactions to unforeseen disturbances, reducing the number of negative external forces,
reducing the impact of negative external forces and the quick return to normal operating processes. Furthermore, it is illustrated how (de)centralization activities can support these capabilities and thus maximize the SC resilience.
Originality/value – This paper presents 12 measures for (de)centralization and shows how they can support the four major capabilities of resilient companies. The results from qualitative and quantitative surveys allow for a holistic understanding of the organization and provide a basis for future SC resilience research.
