Globalization and advances in information technology represent both realities and opportunities for enterprises in the 21st century. This paper aims to broaden understanding of service innovation as a critical organizational capability through which the adoption of information technology influences firm performance. This study examines how the adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID) t...

Radio Frequency Identification technology is an ever-present automatic identification and data collection system. This technology has transformed how business and government operate their identification and data collection systems. Concerns about potential loss of privacy have increased as an aspect of a person’s interaction with RFID technology and device. A study of 317 undergraduate and grad...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a ubiquitous technology with a wide variety of uses in several different environments and application domains. The EPCGlobal Class 1 Generation 2, or “Gen 2” specification has recently received significant attention both in notoriety and application. However, while considered a relatively recent technology, the subject of RFID has a long history in intel...

A globally accepted, auto-identification technology, became popular in the post World War II period – the RFID technology works without any contact between the participating entities. As an auto-identification technology, RFID has overcome the demerits of barcodes. RFID find its applications in pharmaceuticals, animal tracking, and inventory control to name a few. However, inspite of its huge a...

RFID technology is no longer an experimental technology but is now widely applied in business processes aiming to increase performance both in public and private sectors. Together with traditional sectors (e.g. logistics, retail), the large potentiality of this technology is supporting its adoption in completely new emerging sectors (e.g. entertainment, payment). Thus, several challenges are st...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has helped many organizations to reduce cost. Nevertheless, there are challenges and issues associated with RFID adoption. The most common internal challenge for many organizations is justifying the investment and modification of processes. However, there are external issues such as privacy and security that companies need to deal with. The focus...

This study examines the potential of RFID technology to increase the agility of supply-chain e-commerce systems by mitigating the bullwhip effect. The bullwhip effect is a supply-chain phenomenon that reveals a lack of business agility characterized by the amplification of inventory variance. This study employs an experiment involving a modified Beer Distribution Game to simulate an RFID-enable...

According to professional journals, Internet information services and consultants, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) seems to be “the new technology hype” which “will revolutionise business performance across supply chains” (Accenture). While low-frequency RFID has been used in some areas in the industrial world for more than a decade (source), the recent decision by Wal-Mart and the U.S. D...

The RFID Garage Door Entry System team is a project team which seeks to create an automation solution using a relatively un-harnessed technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Using RFID technology, the team seeks to combine the functionality and convenience of automated remote transmission with an existing garage door opener system. The intent of this project was to build a syst...

Radio Frequency Identification technology was originally invented for military uses. From the 80’s, commercial RFID product started to be obtainable and that they were chiefly applied in areas of chains of offer, transportation, manufacturing sector, personnel access, animal tagging, toll tax collection, especially in associate degree indoor atmosphere. The development and implementation of RFI...
