Abstract:
|
"The world has become a global village that is built on the foundations of a digital economy.
From E-Currency to Cyber Security, many industries have benefitted from the advent of block
chain technology. Still very much in its infancy, block chain has disrupted the way industries
plan to tread toward the future. The fashion industry’s supply chain practices are often
described as complicated and unaccountable. This paper dissects how blockchain, once
successfully integrated with current supply chain management practices, can increase the
fashion industry’s accountability, transparency, and tracking as well as dispute management
abilities. Beyond reducing transactional interactions, this integration improves the areas of
marketing, brand building, relationship-building efforts, regulatory compliance and
counterfeiting prevention. The integration also has the potential to empower sustainability and
product innovation processes of apparel manufacturers across the planet. The research, while it recognizes the limitations of current data and literature, remains optimistic of the technology’s
applications."
