About

Steven R. Gordon is a leading scholar at the intersection of information systems, supply chain management, and emerging technologies. His research explores how strategic adoption of novel technologies can transform traditional industries, with a particular focus on blockchain's potential to enhance transparency and trust. In his most-cited work, "Blockchain adoption in the supply chain – a game theoretic perspective: the case of the diamond industry" (2023), Gordon applies game theory to unravel the complex dynamics of blockchain implementation across multi-tier supply chains. Using the gem-diamond industry as a compelling case study, he identifies critical strategies for blockchain providers and beneficiaries to overcome adoption barriers, demonstrating how cooperative and competitive forces shape technological diffusion. This work has garnered 4 citations, establishing a foundation for future research on blockchain governance in high-value, trust-sensitive supply chains. Gordon's contributions are particularly valuable for practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand the economic incentives and strategic behaviors that drive or hinder blockchain integration. His research bridges theoretical rigor with practical insight, offering a roadmap for industries grappling with transparency challenges.
