Evaluating Research Trends on The Emerging Blockchain Technology In The Fields of Business And Management: A Systematic Review

Öz

Blockchain technology is considered to be one of the most disruptive and revolutionary innovations after the invention of the internet. Blockchain technology continues to gain an important place in the business world day by day. The development of this technology is mainly demonstrated by academic studies. This evaluation conducts a systematic review of business/management-oriented blockchain studies published in a certain period of time in the Web of Knowledge, Scopus and Google Scholars database. The findings show that the studies on the subject have increased after 2018, there are studies on the subject in many countries of the world, especially in Germany and the USA, and blockchain technology is intensively discussed in the innovation management, supply chain management, financial management, resource management, identity management. Additionally, some suggestions have been made in the field of business management for further future studies.

İşletme Ve Yönetim Alanlarında Gelişmekte Olan Blok Zincir Teknolojisine İlişkin Araştırma Trendlerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Sistematik Bir İnceleme

Öz

Blokzincir teknolojisi, internetin icadından sonra en yıkıcı ve devrim niteliğindeki yeniliklerden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Blokzincir teknolojisi iş dünyasında her geçen gün önemli bir yer edinmeye devam etmektedir. Bu teknolojinin gelişimi ağırlıklı olarak akademik çalışmalarla ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Web of Knowledge, Scopus ve Google Scholars veritabanlarında belirli bir dönemde yayınlanan iş/yönetim odaklı blockzincir teknolojileri ile alakalı yapılmış çalışmalarının sistematik bir incelemesini sunmaktadır. Bulgular, konuyla ilgili çalışmaların 2018 yılından sonra arttığını, Almanya ve ABD başta olmak üzere dünyanın birçok ülkesinde bu konu üzerinde durulduğunu ve blokzincir teknolojisinin yenilik yönetimi, tedarik zinciri yönetimi, finansal yönetim, kaynak yönetimi, kimlik yönetimi alanlarında yoğun bir şekilde kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma ile işletme yönetimi alanında gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalar için bütüncül bir çerçeve çizilerek, önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
