What is it about?

This study looks at how small businesses in Jordan can use a new technology called blockchain to be more environmentally friendly. It explores how disagreements within these companies affect whether they use blockchain. The research found that when businesses work well together, they're more likely to use blockchain, which then helps them reduce waste and reuse materials. Also, focusing on being 'green' for customers helps these businesses succeed with blockchain.

Why is it important?

This research examines how resolving disagreements within small businesses affects their use of blockchain for environmental sustainability. Unlike many studies on the technology itself, this highlights the importance of internal teamwork for effective blockchain adoption. This is timely because businesses face pressure to be sustainable, and blockchain is a potential tool. This research shows that better conflict resolution can support successful blockchain adoption for greener, more competitive businesses, particularly in developing economies like Jordan.

Perspectives

This research connects conflict management, technology adoption, and sustainability within Jordanian SMEs, a context often overlooked. I hope it helps these businesses improve, embrace blockchain, and contribute to a greener economy. Ultimately, fostering collaboration within organizations is crucial for sustainable progress.
