RFID and the Innovation Cycle
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper looks at several “disruptive” technologies. It traces the path they have taken from the early innovation phase to full implementation. The technologies discussed include refrigeration; the automobile and highway system; incandescent lighting; the television and the personal computer. The paper first traces each technology through several steps leading from the early innovation to wide adoption. Then the same steps are applied to RFID, placing it in this historical context and speculating on the possible future adoption and impact of this technology.

The first part of the paper discusses Wal-Mart’s adoption of RFID through the theoretical lens of the Resources, Processes, and Values (RPV) innovation theory. This part makes a theoretical argument that WalMart adopted RFID as a sustaining innovation – an incremental improvement in supply chain identification technology. The second part reviews a representative sample of IS literature in order...
متن کاملA steam Rankine cycle with two-stage pumping to enhance the waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines
In this research, a high-temperature Rankin cycle (HTRC) with two-stage pumping is presented and investigated. In this cycle, two different pressures and mass flow rates in the HTRC result in two advantages. First, the possibility of direct recovery from the engine block by working fluid of water, which is a low quality waste heat source, is created in a HTRC. Secondly, by doing this, the mean ...
