Smart contract diffusion in the pharmaceutical blockchain: the battle of counterfeit drugs
通过系统文献综述和自动化内容分析，研究了制药区块链中智能合约的特性、在打击假药中的作用及未来研究方向，对供应链管理者和研究者有参考价值。
Counterfeit drugs have long been a major concern. In search of a solution, this study conducted a systematic literature review. Using an automated content analysis of pharmaceutical blockchains, this study identifies the (1) unique characteristics of smart contracts on blockchain platforms in the pharmaceutical supply chain, (2) role of smart contracts to combat counterfeit drugs, and (3) avenues for future studies. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed at the end of this paper.
