blockchain, digital business, efficiency, transparencyAbstract
This systematic literature review examines the role of blockchain technology in enhancing transparency and efficiency within digital business environments. Through a comprehensive analysis of 67 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019-2024, this study synthesizes current knowledge, identifies key themes, and highlights research gaps in blockchain applications for digital business transformation. The review follows PRISMA guidelines and employs thematic analysis to categorize findings across multiple business domains including supply chain management, financial services, healthcare, and e-commerce. Results indicate that blockchain significantly improves transparency through immutable record-keeping and smart contracts, while enhancing efficiency via automation, reduced intermediaries, and streamlined processes. However, challenges remain regarding scalability, energy consumption, and regulatory frameworks. This review contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive synthesis of blockchain's impact on digital business operations and identifying future research directions.
