“…Our study used test of indicator validity criterion suggested by Straub et al (2004) to evaluate the reliability of our formative construct (Perceived trustworthiness of banks). Test of indicator validity refers to the importance of each individual indicator of the related formative construct (Jahner et al 2008;MacKenzie et al 2005), reflected by the significance of the path coefficient. Path coefficients from the indicators to the formative construct should be statistically significant under a t-test.…”

With the increasing popularity of the Internet, financial institutions are seeking ways to utilize this popular medium in an effort to keep up with the changing technological preferences of their customers through innovations like Internet banking services. In Uganda, however, the rate of Internet banking adoption has not risen as strongly as expected due to factors like lack of trust, security, poor perceptions on usefulness and ease of use of the system by the customers, lack of privacy over the Internet and poor attitude towards Internet banking, among others, which has led many to view Internet banking as a very risky undertaking. This study introduces perceived trustworthiness as one of the beliefs that may significantly influence Internet banking adoption and we examine its importance in determining customers’ attitude and behavioral intention towards using Internet banking as the purpose of the study. We conducted a survey by distributing questionnaires to customers of five highly competitive banks in Uganda and collected data from a total of 232 respondents. The results of the statistical analyses using structural equation modeling indicate that the relative importance of perceived trustworthiness of banks was statistically significant as it accounted for 47 percent of variance in predicting customers’ attitude towards Internet banking.

“…In this paper, we consider that RFID technology is an innovation and that it is innovative to integrate it with intra-and inter-organizational business processes and with intra-and internal information systems. As a reminder, RFID technology has the following characteristics: unique item/product level identification; no need of line of sight; multiple tags items reading; more data storage capability and data read/write capabilities (Asif and Mandviwalla, 2005;Jahner et al, 2008;Tajima, 2007), enabler of real-time data collection and sharing among supply chain stakeholders (Delen et al, 2007), enabler of business process innovation (Fosso Wamba et al, 2008;Lefebvre et al, 2006;Loebbecke, 2007). These characteristics may, therefore, be considered as influencing factors in the decision to adopt the technology.…”

PurposeDespite the high operational and strategic potentials of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, very few studies have been conducted about its role as enabler of supply chain integration to achieve high‐level operational efficiency. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to be an initial effort towards bridging the existing knowledge gap in the literature.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory research was conducted in one retail supply chain. A multi‐method approach combining a longitudinal real‐life case study and a methodology integrating several steps, including a “living laboratory” strategy was used and involved all members of a product line to analyze their contributing activities and their interface with other supply chain members; the aim being to explore the impact of RFID technology on inter‐and intra‐organizational processes and information systems.FindingsThe results provide support to the role of RFID as enabler of better integration of timeliness and accuracy data flows into information systems, business process optimization through automation, better system‐to‐system communication and better inter‐and‐intra‐organizational business process integration. Furthermore, they also validate the unique characteristics of RFID technology such as enabler of real‐time multiple tags items data collection and exchange within the supply chain and the read‐and‐write capability that may help, for example, to reuse some RFID tags within the supply chain and therefore reduce the cost related to the purchase of the said RFID tags. Finally, the study also reveals the importance of business process renovation and complementary investments during the adoption of RFID technology, in order to achieve high level of business value from the technology.Originality/valueThe paper is original in the sense that it provides some empirical support for the enabling role of RFID technology in allowing supply chain integration.

“…As any emerging application, RFID at the item level is facing several obstacles towards massive consumer adoption. These obstacles include: high implementation costs, standards in early stages of adoption, privacy and security threats, low consumer acceptance levels, and reading reliability issues (Jahner et al (2008)). Dissemination activities have been organized worldwide with the aim of improving end-user knowledge of RFID technology and thus boost both acceptance levels and standard adoption.…”
