| Abstract | This article discusses the potential of Block Chain technology to create greater transparency and trust amongst players in the manufacturing supply chain. By utilizing the technology adoption model and diffusion of innovation theory, this article provides a conceptual base to illustrate the potential of Block Chain and why it will suit into the manufacturing supply chain landscape. Three primary sets of relationships: voluntariness-adopters, experience-observability/complexity, and cognitive influence-relative advantage, have been identified as potential precursors to Block Chain adoption. |
