Your Discussion can focus on any of the following questions:    QUESTION 1: Why is blockchain technology being viewed as a potential gamechanger for global supply chains? How does the transparency associated with blockchains change the nature of global supply chains?   QUESTION 2: How could the traceability feature of blockchain technology improve the safety of the global food supply? Why is this especially beneficial in an era of globalization? QUESTION 3: How can blockchain technology be a gamechanger in manufacturing?

The discussions can include comments on the  questions or reflections on videos which I will post to Canvas. You may also use current news information to connect with the above questions.  The comments you make should be interesting and informative. Just briefly agreeing or disagreeing without any commentary is insufficient.
