Abstract

This study explores the potential of leveraging blockchain technology to provide a solution for anti-counterfeiting in the supply chain. We explain how blockchain
technology, when conflated with nanotechnology, provides a trustworthy link between physical items flowing through a supply chain to the digital records stored on blockchain. A case study of a multi-national manufacturing organization following Action Design Research (ADR) methodology is presented with two significant insights. First, ADR is effective in developing a tailored artefact capable of identifying where and how the technological attributes of blockchain create value for a firm. In this case, an anti-counterfeiting solution. Second, the artefact can be generalized to solve a variety of business problems across industries by leveraging blockchain or other emerging technologies.
