A Chain Reaction: Revolutionizing the Supply Chain with Blockchain

Abstract

A focused walk-through of how Blockchain will dramatically transform traditional models of supply chain architecture, technology, and operations, with an emphasis on superfluid commerce, radical simplification of operating models, and the creation of entirely new classes of supply chain structures.
