  7. Abstract:
  8. Supply chain management aims to increase customer satisfaction and satisfy demand with the lowest cost by establishing coordination and cooperation among the chain members. However, considerable concerns along supply chain management are reported from both academicians and practitioners. Security, visibility, transparency and traceability are the main challenges confronting supply chain management. The emerging technology named Blockchain is able to address the mentioned challenges by integrating with supply chain management. A prominent point to consider is that whether it is absolutely necessary to adopt blockchain technology in a system or not. If yes, how blockchain should be implemented along supply chain members. Despite the necessity of investigating the feasibility of blockchain adoption and also investigating the implementation of blockchain, the literature mainly focuses on only one of the two mentioned issues. To the best of authors knowledge, this research is the first time introducing a two-phase framework for both investigating the blockchain adoption feasibility in the first phase and the blockchain adoption strategy in the second phase. For this purpose, in the first phase, according to balanced score card technique, blockchain adoption feasibility is investigated from financial, customer, organization processes, and learning and growth aspects. In the second phase, the blockchain adoption strategy is determined through multi attribute decision making method. In this research, a food supply chain case study is also conducted.
