Blockchain Technology Adoption for Agriculture, Manufacturing, Services, Knowledge, Culture, and Research: A Systematic Literature Review

Since FinTech had the most potential in business, economics, and knowledge disciplines, the study's major goal was to address the contributions of Blockchain technology adoption (BCT/BCA) to six business, knowledge, culture, and research areas. To ensure that most research on the subject was accessed and that pertinent publications were found, vetted, and examined, the PRISMA technique -a model for systematic literature reviews (SLRs)- was employed in this investigation. The results show that BCA improves organizational procedures, performance, fidelity, integrity, and trust for businesses, cultures, and research projects with a disrupting financial technology (FinTech) mindset. It also enhances corporate transaction transparency and scalability, improves big data, knowledge, same-data, and information sharing, and prevents fraud with fraudulence suspension and cyber-hacking protection. Additionally, the implementation of smart contracts offers ESG and sustainability benefits. This research employed hybrid methodology, blending together qualitative analysis with SLR. All 789 of the publications that were chosen in the initial step underwent quantitative analysis, and the eight most cited papers that passed the PRISMA screening process underwent qualitative examination. The study sequence is composed of three layers: (i) financial factors that function as BCA functionality, (ii) possibilities and problems related to the financial variables, and (iii) contributions, consequences, and outlook of the issues- is defined in this paper and projected to six business, knowledge, culture, and research areas. Furthermore, a significant contribution is thought to be the managers' ability to consult the suggested sequence for insightful information, economic difficulties, and BCA potential estimation. Scholars, researchers, managers, and practitioners will all benefit from the study.
