摘要

This study presents an empirical exploration of the relationship between blockchain technology (BT) and supply chain concentration (SCC) from contingency and configuration perspectives by using a panel dataset of 147 Chinese enterprises that applied blockchain technology from 2019 to 2023. Multiple regression analysis (MRA) results indicate that BT is essential for the two dimensions of SCC: supplier concentration (SC) and customer concentration (CC). Additionally, we find that R&D investment, listed years, and industry type strengthen the BT-SCC relationship. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) further reveals that none of the aforementioned variables independently lead to a high level of SCC; rather, SCC requires a combination of these variables alongside BT adoption. These findings highlight alternative pathways through which different enterprises can achieve high levels of SCC by utilizing BT, a topic that has not been explored in prior research.
