The aim of this study is to identify the benefits of digital supply chain and explore the effects of these benefits of the adoption of digital supply chain. The study was conducted using data collected by a questionnaire from a sample consisting of supply chain informant employees from companies in the food industry. Three benefits were selected for the current study, which are supply chain agility, organizational performance, and supply chain risk management. The results showed that digital supply chains have numerous benefits from which these three benefits have significant positive effects on digital supply chain adoption. Therefore, it was concluded that companies’ adoption of digital supply chains depends on a bundle of benefits not only related to the supply chain itself such as supply chain agility and risk management but also incorporates the company as a whole in terms of its organizational performance. It was recommended that companies should recognize the benefits of digital supply chains and make their decisions based on the desired outcomes of DSCs.

In literature, several core studies have addressed the effects of industries in general, and the investments in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) on the environment, adding up to the pollution risks resulting from these investments. What distinguish this study is that it dealt with investments in the QIZ in Jordan and its risks on the environment beside some other sectors that participate in polluting the environment such as the production sector represented by the GDP, the population sector, and the number of vehicles used during the study period that covered 1999 to 2017. This study used the ordinary least squares (OLS) method to examine the impact of investments in QIZ on the quality of the environment and its imbalances. It’s found that there is a clear negative effect of investments in the QIZ on the environment quality in Jordan in addition to the negative impact that is not less risky on the environment created by the other sectors.

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing all sectors of industries including the healthcare one. Blockchain technology applications have been realized in healthcare as they have the potential to revolutionize healthcare systems. Integrating blockchain into the design of supply chain design leads to decentralizing the management of the supply chain, and, in turn, improves workflow efficiency and reduces the various security threats. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the impact of integrating blockchain technology, into supply chain practices, on supply chain transparency and resilience. By adopting the organizational information processing theory, this study developed a research model that explored the impact of blockchain technology features including data quality, smart contracts, and traceability on supply chain resilience and transparency. Furthermore, this study examined the effect of supply chain transparency on supply chain resilience. The data was collected, from healthcare industry personnel, in Jordan, using an electronic survey. In total, 215 participants responded to the questionnaire. RStudio- 2022.07.1 was used to conduct the data analysis. Results revealed that data quality significantly and positively affects supply chain transparency and resilience. In addition to that, results indicated that while smart contracts are positively related to supply chain transparency, they do not affect supply chain resilience. Also, traceability was found to be positively related supply chain transparency and resilience. Finally, it was found that blockchain-driven supply chain transparency positively impacts blockchain-driven supply chain resilience. The results imply that integrating blockchain technology into the supply chain can enhance both supply chain transparency and resilience, and, in turn, provide the supply chain the capability of recovering to its original state should it encounter disruptive events. The outcomes of this study can help supply chain managers and other stakeholders to develop strategies and tactics to best utilize blockchain technology to enhance blockchain-driven supply chain transparency and resilience.
