2019年11月8日下午，應管理與經濟學院管理工程系邀請，寧波諾丁漢大學Alain Chong教授在主樓317會議室做了題為‘Tracing the Evolution of Blockchain-Based Banknote Supply Chain: A Path Dependency Perspective’的學術報告。報告會由管理工程系張永勛副教授主持，管理工程系老師、部分博士生及碩士生參加了研討會。
在今天報告的開始，Alain Chong教授先為我們介紹了寧波諾丁漢大學及其專業設置。之后，Alain Chong教授介紹了一篇關于從路徑依賴角度以區塊鏈為基礎的紙幣供應鏈生態系統的案例研究。紙幣供應鏈是現代金融體系不可或缺的組成部分，需要確保流通中的紙幣供應充足，以滿足市場需求。然而，傳統的紙幣供應鏈模式——由一個國家的中央銀行權力機構這一主導角色集中管理——存在操作效率問題。區塊鏈作為一種分布式技術基礎設施的出現可能會打亂紙幣供應鏈的配置方式。該研究通過深入的案例研究探索生態系統行為者的行為和選擇的路徑形成，從而為政府和管理者面臨的挑戰提供建議。
報告結束后，Alain Chong教授耐心回答了各位老師和同學們的提問，同學們受益匪淺。
