Abstract:
The espoused benefits of transformative blockchain technologies appear to be the perfect solution for third party logistics cold storage companies who are facing a myriad of pressing organizational and industry issues. Positive states of organizational readiness are critical for successful implementation. A multi-case study of three 3rd party logistic cold storage companies examines factors impacting readiness for blockchain, and to what extent size may impact their preparedness. Results indicate that small and medium companies have a relatively low level of readiness to implement blockchain. Due to its robust change management structure, the large company was best positioned to adopt blockchain.
