  text: "\r\nPurpose\r\n\r\nBlockchain technology is widely discussed as an enabler
    of transparency, efficiency and trust in supply chain management (SCM). However,
    empirical evidence on which blockchain-related success dimensions translate into
    value perceptions remains limited. This study aims to examine how the perceived
    relevance of blockchain success dimensions relates to realized benefits and whether
    these benefits contribute to overall perceived blockchain value.\r\nDesign/methodology/approach\r\n\r\nA
    quantitative survey of 41 companies with blockchain experience in SCM is conducted.
    Success dimensions are prioritized using best–worst scaling (MaxDiff). Relationships
    between perceived relevance, dimension-specific benefits and overall perceived
    value are analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
    Exploratory analyses assess company characteristics.\r\nFindings\r\n\r\nContrary
    to dominant expectations in academic and practitioner narratives, even highly
    prioritized blockchain success dimensions fail to translate into measurable firm-level
    value perceptions. While transparency and traceability are associated with significant
    dimension-specific benefits, these improvements do not produce statistically significant
    direct or indirect effects on overall perceived blockchain value. This suggests
    that localized operational gains alone may be insufficient to generate overall
    perceived value and indicates that blockchain benefits may depend on broader organizational
    and technological complements.\r\nOriginality/value\r\n\r\nThe study moves beyond
    identifying potential blockchain benefits by empirically differentiating which
    success dimensions matter and which do not. By combining MaxDiff with PLS-SEM,
    it offers a structured, mechanism-oriented framework for evaluating blockchain
    success and highlights boundary conditions for value realization in SCM.\r\n"
