Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how organizations perceive the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) on business performance in relation to the perceived technology-organization fit and the perceived risk of the technology. Design/methodology/approach – A survey is conducted with professionals involved in RFID implementation initiatives in their organizations. Th...

The classroom is an environment where teachers constantly need to make decisions on planning instructional activities, monitoring students’ progress and evaluating teaching effectiveness. One way to monitor students’ progress is by giving assessment. Assessments which can be formal or informal, are used to gather information about students’ achievement. Previously, lecturers used the traditiona...

In this paper, a wireless sensor network is deployed to improve the security of goods, environment and persons along a supply chain manipulating chemicals in the European Union. Pallets are equipped with a RFID tag and a set of sensors that monitor in real-time the environment state. By defining and monitoring constraints that must satisfy pallet environments, a real-time risk assessment is pro...

This article critically reflects upon the introduction of behavioural, ‘nudging’ approaches into UK policy making, the latest in a series of regulatory innovations. Initiatives have focused particularly upon correcting lifestyle risk behaviours, marking a significant continuity with previous ‘nannying’ policy. On the other hand, nudging represents a departure, even inversion of previous approac...

RFID is a pervasive technology, which provides appealing opportunities for improving supply chain management and security in the agri-food sector. All over the world, food safety is considered a requirement, and in several countries the traceability of food products is mandatory. Therefore, several studies on traceability management have been conducted both by industrial and academic research c...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology for automated identification of objects and people. RFID systems have been gaining more popularity in areas especially in supply chain management and automated identification systems. However, there are many existing and potential problems in the RFID systems which could threat the technology’s future. To successfully adopt RFID technology i...

A commonly suggested solution to reduce misinterpretations of verbal probability expressions in risk communications is to use a verbal-numerical (mixed format) approach, but it is not known whether this increases understanding over and above a purely numerical format. Using the ‘which outcome’ methodology (Teigen & Filkuková, 2013), we examined the effect of using verbal, numerical and mixed co...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect on cigarette sales rates when minors present identification (ID). DESIGN Controlled experiment in which minors attempting to purchase cigarettes either carried a valid photo ID (documenting they were minors) or carried no ID, and were instructed to show the ID or admit having no ID if the clerk requested proof of age. SETTING Census of retail stores in six u...

This paper investigates the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to eliminate the misplacement problems in the supply chain, which consists of a risk-neutral manufacturer and a riskaverse retailer. By considering both fixed cost and tag cost of RFID implementation, we study the agents' incentives to adopt RFID in both uncoordinated and coordinated cases. We focus on a...
