Abstract

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing countless areas of human life. It has gained significant attention because of its potential to transform supply chain management across various sectors, including education. This chapter explores possible benefits and obstacles associated with adopting a blockchain-enabled supply chain in the educational sector from a management perspective. With blockchain, universities will have more transparency, security, and efficiency in their system. However, implementing a new system includes several challenges in terms of technology, Infrastructure, Finance, Legal, and Human Resources. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive understanding of the educational sector's unique supply chain requirements, stakeholders' participation, and careful planning are necessary. This chapter provides insights to decision-makers in formulating strategies to leverage blockchain technology effectively and maximize its potential in enhancing supply chain procedures in the educational sector.
