Summary of studies on BCT involving top-level managers in supply chain management (SCM)
| Study | Purpose and method | Findings |
|---|---|---|
| Durach et al. (2020) | Studied the adoption of BCT in SCM with a survey of managers in Germany, 62% of whom were executive managers and not separated in the analysis | The authors identified 13 areas in SCM in which BCT could be applied, ranked by likelihood of adoption, time frame and business impact. Respondents considered the areas to likely have BCT but not in the near future |
| Zhou et al. (2020) | Examined factors of BCT’s success in Singapore’s maritime industry with a survey of 30 respondents, 29 of whom were top-level managers | The authors identified six critical factors for BCT’s success, of which lack of capital is the largest obstacle, followed by staff training and legislation |
| Yang (2019) | Gauged the possible use of BCT in maritime SCM in Taiwan’s shipping industry with a survey of 121 respondents, 55% of whom were vice-presidents or directors, if not higher | Despite promising applications in customs clearance and management, the digitalisation of paperwork and standardising and developing platforms, respondents in higher positions had less intention to use BCT |
