ABSTRACT

While blockchain was originally designed for secure digital transactions, it has now gained traction in a variety of organizations as well where methodologies such as agile have been enabling true digital transformations.
This paper aims to explore whether blockchain and agile supply chains can contribute to healthcare and pharmaceutical innovation, as well to better understand future trends.
Consequently, we hope to provide strategic insights into major issues healthcare and pharmaceutical companies face, such as counterfeiting and anti-tampering measures, as well as a number of strategic options they are considering, such as agile supply chain management.
As a first step, we reviewed the available literature available to develop an initial theme understanding of the challenges, and the adopted strategies and connections between blockchain and innovation in supply chain management.
By analyzing network analysis results and understanding respondents’ relationships and connections, we can reveal how blockchain and agile supply chain management are interconnected.

INTRODUCTION
