Tiivistelmä
Digital Transformation is an inevitable trend that covers all spheres of modern life and the deeper investigation of this phenomenon is relevant worldwide. The transition from old-fashioned strategies to new models increases business freedom, operational revenue and affects society living standards. Blockchain is one of the emerging technologies that have an incredible potential to transform the business.
Despite the technology dynamic development in all areas, its possibilities, advantages, and disadvantages have not been sufficiently explored. The study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on the Blockchain impact on Digital Transformation and synthesize all findings. Through a review of 39 empirical articles, some summaries are made relating to challenges and barriers from adoption, technological benefits, and the most promising spheres of digitalization. The number of successful use cases is limited, and this situation gives a broader perspective for conducting new experiments.
Meanwhile, sustainable development is not a plain trend but a strict requirement. The main capabilities of the Digital transformation and the impact on five sustainability dimensions (Economic, Social, Individual, Environmental and Technical) are concluded in a chart. As a result, open issues are identified which can be handled in future research. Based on the articles review, the theoretical framework is developed for academia and industries that want to learn more about Blockchain. The real-world example can help to adopt the technology considering possible limitations.
