Blockchain Assimilation in Fisheries Supply Chain

Technology adoption remains a key driver of achieving a competitive edge over competitors, better operational effectiveness and reducing operating costs. An under researched area of technology adoption is how a technology diffuses and is assimilated throughout an organisation. We first introduce an overview of Blockchain followed by a summary of Blockchain in fisheries supply chain. Next, IT assimilation is described. Finally, this paper presents an existing IT assimilation framework that is utilised as a roadmap for the assimilation of Blockchain technology in the fisheries supply chain.
