    Information and knowledge risks in supply chain interactions of SMEs. An exploratory study
    (WM 2019 - Wissensmanagement in digitalen Arbeitswelten: Aktuelle Ansätze und Perspektiven - Knowledge Management in Digital Workplace Environments: State of the Art and Outlook, 2020) North, Klaus; Barbosa de Carvalho, Armindo; Maria, Alessio; Durst, Susanne; Alvaro Carvalho, João; Gräslund, Karin; Thalmann, Stefan
    Due to digitalization organizations increasingly interact with other organizations. Data, information, and knowledge are exchanged along the supply chain. This not only creates benefits but also creates manifold risks. The latter is particularly relevant for SMEs being usually the weaker partner in vendor buyer relations. This paper explores knowledge risks associated with supply chain interactions. Risks are identified for three phases of a typical vendor and buyer relations cycle: the preparation phase, the development and learning phase, and the operational phase. The relevance of the relations presented will have to be empirically validated. For this, explorative focus groups involving SMEs from Portugal and Italy were conducted. The overall aims of the ongoing research project are first, to raise awareness among SMEs about these risks, and secondly, to provide training and assistance for these companies on how to avoid or mitigate these risks.

    Mapping the sea of opportunities: Blockchain in supply chain and logistics
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 60, No. 5-6, 2018) Petersen, Moritz; Hackius, Niels; See, Birgit von
    Driven by successful pilot projects in supply chain and logistics, Blockchain has become one of the industry’s latest technology hypes. In this paper, we cut through the hype and shed light on the expectations of industry professionals towards the benefits and challenges of Blockchain. Also, we categorize current Blockchain applications that are expected to provide tangible benefits for supply chain and logistics processes. To explore such potentials, we argue that companies should gain own first-hand experiences through small-scale experiments.

    On-chain vs. off-chain storage for supply- and blockchain integration
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 60, No. 5-6, 2018) Hepp, Thomas; Sharinghousen, Matthew; Ehret, Philip; Schoenhals, Alexander; Gipp, Bela
    Supply chains are the basis of most everyday life products. Both data integrity and authenticity of related information have severe implications for quality and safety of end-products. Hence, tamper-proof storage is necessary that prevents unauthorized modifications. We examine peer-reviewed blockchain technologies according to four criteria relevant to supply chains: On-chain storage, off-chain storage, verification cost and secure data sharing. Our evaluation yields an overview of concepts for modeling supply chain processes and points out that on-chain storage is currently not practical.
