Journal Article 2019 08 09 <strong>Purpose:</strong> this paper aimed to explore the structural potential of blockchain in supply chain of interchangeable information and knowledge for enhancing trust and accessibility of stakeholders. <br /><strong>Methodology:</strong> documentary method and reviewing various papers related to the blockchain area of subject. <br /><strong>Findings</strong>:  blockchain has the capacity to respond to some of the serious challenges of supply chain management. Structural enhancement of information security could reduce unproductive controls and facilitate access to information. More trustworthiness in knowledge would be gained as a result of reliable data and information. <br />  <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> a new framework for information management in supply chain structured with blockchain on the basis of IOT is put forth. New framework shows how blockchain could help keep tracking of event tractability, information exchange speed and information sharing security and using artificial intelligence. As a result, suitable information management enhanced with clarity, accuracy, speed, security and access to information will insure validating data and efficiency of supply chain. <br />  <br />  <strong>Purpose:</strong> this paper aimed to explore the structural potential of blockchain in supply chain of interchangeable information and knowledge for enhancing trust and accessibility of stakeholders. <br /><strong>Methodology:</strong> documentary method and reviewing various papers related to the blockchain area of subject. <br /><strong>Findings</strong>:  blockchain has the capacity to respond to some of the serious challenges of supply chain management.
