Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide a supply chain financing model based on block chain technology, relying on the views of experts related to the field of electronic education at the level of higher education institutions of the country.

In the following, using the judgmental purposeful sampling method, the opinions of 15 experienced executive experts in Digi kala Company and academic experts familiar with block chain technology and financing were used until the theoretical saturation stage. The conducted interviews were coded with Clark and Brown's six-step inductive theme analysis method. Based on this, 63 cases of speech evidence identified from the text of the interviews were labeled in the form of 17 primary codes. Then, the primary codes were categorized into five sub-themes and finally, two main themes. In the following, in order to validate the results of the interviews and confirm the research components, from the questionnaire and the fuzzy Delphi method, and for the theoretical validation of the research model in terms of comprehensiveness, uniqueness, coherence and integrity, as well as appropriateness, from the questionnaire tool and direction Its analysis was done using t-test and SPSS software
