Factors Influencing the Mandatory Adoption of RFID: An Empirical Investigation from Australian Livestock Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to examine the factors of RFID adoption in a mandatory environment. This paper presents the result of an empirical study that investigates the adoption behaviour of livestock farms in relation to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the context of Australia. A mixed method consisting qualitative and quantitative research approach has been taken for this study. The finding of this study confirmed that external environment, technological characteristics, and organizational factors are significant for RFID adoption. Alternatively, expectations from RFID-adoption do not have an influence on RFID adoption when the adoption is mandatory.

متن کاملFactors Affecting RFID Adoption: An Exploratory Study
In marketing, a customer purchases a product while a consumer uses the product; which means that an adopter of an innovation behaves like a consumer of a new product. But surprisingly no initiative has been made to relate/integrate an adopter with a consumer. This article has done this. Technological, organizational, environmental factors as well as “expectations” from using the technology are ...
