This manuscript contributes to filling in this gap. We identify three research themes in applying Blockchain technology to OM, illustrated through several applications to OM problems. Elsewhere, in a companion article (Babich and Hilary, 2018), we provide a conceptual framework for the role of Blockchain and other DLT in OM, along with specific examples of research questions, and we demonstrate how research in economics can inform research in OM on Blockchain applications. Finally, we discuss possible future uses for the technology.1<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1561\/0200000084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]],"date-time":"2019-03-14T06:44:08Z","timestamp":1552545848000},"page":"152-172","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technologies in Operations"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Volodymyr","family":"Babich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gilles","family":"Hilary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"2026040905274949200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"656","DOI":"10.1002\/nav.20181","article-title":"Vulnerable Options in Supply Chains: Effects of Supplier Competition","volume":"53","author":"Babich","year":"2006","journal-title":"Nav Res Log"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref002","volume-title":"working paper","author":"Babich","year":"2018"},{"issue":"1","key":"2026040905274949200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1287\/msom.2018.0706","article-title":"Introduction to the Special Issue on Research at the Interface of Finance, Operations, and Risk Management (iFORM): Recent Contributions and Future Directions","volume":"20","author":"Babich","year":"2018","journal-title":"M&SOM"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref004","volume-title":"publication No. 50","author":"Bank for International Settlements","year":"2014"},{"issue":"3","key":"2026040905274949200_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1287\/msom.4.3.171.7754","article-title":"Coordination and Flexibility in Supply Contracts with Options","volume":"4","author":"Barnes-Schuster","year":"2002","journal-title":"M&SOM"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref006","author":"Browne","year":"2017"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref007","volume-title":"Blockchain and The Value of Operational Transparency for Supply Chain Finance","author":"Chod","year":"2018"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref008","volume-title":"Digital Supply Chain","author":"Dyble","year":"2017"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref009","first-page":"3928","author":"Hermann","year":"2016"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref010","author":"Hilary","year":"2015"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref011","volume-title":"Blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technologies, an advanced primer","author":"Hilary","year":"2018"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref012","article-title":"Wal-Mart Turns To Blockchain For Tracking Pork In China","author":"Nash","year":"2016","journal-title":"WSJ"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref013","author":"Naydenova","year":"2017"},{"key":"2026040905274949200_ref014","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.1007\/978-0-85729-778-5_6","volume-title":"Managing Supply Disruptions","author":"Wadecki","year":"2012"}],"container-title":["Foundations and Trends\u00ae in Technology, Information and Operations Management"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/fttom\/article-pdf\/12\/2-3\/152\/11505808\/0200000084en.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/fttom\/article-pdf\/12\/2-3\/152\/11505808\/0200000084en.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T19:01:51Z","timestamp":1777489311000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/fttom\/article\/12\/2-3\/152\/1358591\/Blockchain-and-other-Distributed-Ledger"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2-3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1561\/0200000084","relation":{},"ISSN":["1571-9545","1571-9553"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1571-9545","type":"print"},{"value":"1571-9553","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]}}}
