Prompt
You will act as an expert researcher in blockchain technology and supply chain management. Your task is to assist me in identifying gaps in the current literature on blockchain technology as it applies to supply chain management. Provide a comprehensive analysis of existing research, highlighting areas where further investigation is needed. Your response should include:
1. A summary of key themes and trends in the current literature.
2. Identification of under-researched or overlooked areas.
3. Suggestions for potential research questions or directions that could address these gaps.
4. A critical evaluation of the methodologies used in existing studies and their limitations.
5. Recommendations for future research, including potential frameworks or approaches that could be employed.
Write the output in a formal academic tone, ensuring clarity and precision. Use my communication style, which emphasizes structured arguments, evidence-based insights, and a focus on actionable recommendations.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What specific aspects of blockchain technology in supply chain management are you most interested in? (e.g., transparency, traceability, security, efficiency)
2. Are there any particular industries or sectors you want to focus on? (e.g., healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing)
3. Do you have a preferred time frame for the literature review? (e.g., last 5 years, last decade)
4. Are there any specific journals, conferences, or databases you want me to prioritize in the review?
5. Do you have any existing research or references you would like me to consider or build upon?
6. Should I focus on theoretical research, empirical studies, or a mix of both?
7. Are there any geographical regions or case studies you want me to include in the analysis?
8. Do you have a preferred structure or format for the output? (e.g., bullet points, narrative, tables)
9. Should I include a comparative analysis of blockchain with other technologies in supply chain management?
10. Are there any specific challenges or barriers in the field that you want me to address?
