Unpacking The Rfid Investment Decision, Byron W. Keating, Tim R. Coltman, Samuel Fosso Wamba, Valerie Baker Sep 2009

Unpacking The Rfid Investment Decision, Byron W. Keating, Tim R. Coltman, Samuel Fosso Wamba, Valerie Baker

Dr Byron W. Keating

Mandates aside, there are many reasons why firms decide to move forward with or delay investment in RFID technology. In this paper we use a theoretically based, easy to implement methodology to empirically derive a relative importance scale of those factors that influence the decision to invest in RFID technology. More specifically, we compare the factors that matter most and least to a sample of firms that have adopted RFID technology with a sample of firms that have yet to embrace RFID technology. The theoretical and practical implications are that both RFID adopters and non adopters are driven by the …

An Information System Design Theory For And Rfid University-Based Laboratory, S. F. Wamba, Katina Michael

Professor Katina Michael

RFID technology is defined as a wireless automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology and is considered as “the next big thing” in the management and “the next revolution in supply chain”. Recently, the topic has attracted the interest of the industrial community as well as the scientific community. Following this tendency, this paper applies an Information Systems Design Theory (ISDT) for an RFID-based University Laboratory. For practitioners, the paper provides some insights into the set-up and use of RFID laboratory in university settings, and at the same time, it offers a set of hypotheses that can be empirically tested.
