Abstract: Supply chain resilience (SCR) has gained prominence due to the growing risks of fraud and global crises in recent years. Researchers and practitioners are increasingly relying on emergent technologies, notably blockchain technology (BT), to establish a resilient supply chain (SC). This paper extends a systematic literature review (SLR) to assess how BT enhances SCR in terms of resistance and recovery. A conceptual framework consisting of ten SCR dimensions and sixteen BT features is developed. This study neither establishes causal links nor estimates a correlation between implementing a BT-based SC and resilience performance. This review holds managerial and theoretical significance for the practical adoption of BT for SCR, paving the way for future research in the field. This paper adds value by developing a conceptual framework on the role of BT in enhancing the proactive and reactive capabilities of SCR, thus providing a comprehensive perspective on the subject.

Keywords: blockchain; supply chain resilience; SCR; supply chain viability; SCV; risk management.
