This study explores if firms using RFID are characterized by higher levels of selected absorptive capacity attributes. Data from 37 firms is used to test the key proposition. The data confirms that firms complying with RFID mandates have higher levels of absorptive capacity attributes than their noncompliant counterparts.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new technology making use of radio frequency to do non-touching, two-way data transit between the reader and the electronic tag to identify target and exchange data. Because it is non-touching; it can work from long distance; it is fit to work in an unfavorable environment; it can identify moving target, it is widely used in industry, commerce, storage...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that has been in use since the 1940’s; however, practical business applications are more recently being developed. Dell Computers looked at their Xiamen, China manufacturing facility to see if RFID technology could result in improved efficiencies with quick payoff. The resulting scorecard showed areas within their facility that RFID technolo...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that changes the nature of many industries. The readiness to implement RFID affects the effectiveness of company itself and corresponding supply chain members in adopting this technology. This manuscript proposes a framework which covering organization, environment, and technology three facets with two metrics for each facet. The proposed fr...

Radio Frequency Identification” (RFID) promises to enable an automatic collection of shopping data for business intelligent purposes. Three important components of intelligence have been identified for systems; ability to predict, ability to adapt and ability to take appropriate action. While extensive research has been done on shopping assistants and the use of RFID in the grocery industry, th...

rfid technology has great potential to improve the benefits of supply chain management. auto- manufacturing is a competitive industry that every player of it needs great operation efficiency to gain competitive advantage to survive. rfid systems are good enhancements to supply chain processes, therefore it's obvious that every industry has to pay great attention to this it solution, and in this...

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 th...

This report documents the results of task 4.2.2 “Secure Semi-Passive RFID Tags”. After a brief motivation for development of semi-passive tags in WP4 as prototype platform, the report shortly describes the three different platforms. A more detailed report about the development of the tags is available in D4.2.1. The following analysis section presents the results of the tests that were performe...

The use of newer information technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), can improve the speed, accuracy, and visibility of information exchange within supply chains, which can ultimately lead to reduced inventory costs and improved customer service [19]. In spite of all the attention being paid to RFID recently, the pace of actual or planned RFID adoption by firms in supply ch...

Technological innovation continually shifts boundaries of possibilities and at the same time challenges ethical dimensions. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology challenges both what is possible and what is ethical. On this basis, this paper incorporates an analysis of RFID development and provides penetrating insight concerning the ethical issues society faces and will face. Attenti...
