In the last twenty years, information technology has relatively advanced different aspects of people’s cal, societal interactions and companies affecting the quality of life. The modern e- commerce organizations require MIS that is used in the acquisition, processing, and reporting of relevant data for decision making purposes. This paper focuses on how Blockchain has been incorporated into MIS within e-commerce firms located in the United States, and provides a literature review of the advantages and problems involved. By synthesizing academic research from management and business process journals, the study presents important areas where MIS can be improved by blockchain technology and solutions while also presenting important disadvantages such as scalability problems and regulatory challenges and high implementation costs. The results of this study are summarized in the following sections, ending with a discussion of the possible opportunities that blockchain-MIS can leverage for innovation and trust in today’s American e-businesses. To this end, this paper seeks to give an objective analysis of the effects of blockchain technology on MIS in e-commerce in order to help executive managers make better decisions on its adoption.
