“…In terms of environmental factors, having a good risk assessment and compatibility with existing standards are another important factors for the proposed study of this paper while building a good relationship with customers is another important management factor. The results of our survey are somewhat consistent with the results of Ozturk and Palakurthi (2010), Brown and Russell (2007) and Shih et al (2008).…”

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer necessary information, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to various objects. This paper presents a survey to study the role of different factors influencing on RFID implementation in after sales services in auto industry. The study designs a questionnaire and distributes it among 20 managers who work for after sales services in auto industry located in city of Tehran, Iran. Cronbach alpha has been calculated as 0.74, which is well above the minimum acceptable level. Using the existing literature as well as a survey with experts, the study has detected four important factors including management, technical, economic and environmental factors. We also weight all factors and sub-factors using Shannon entropy method.

“…The results support prior research in this area (Robinson, Marshall and Stamps 2005;Craighead and Shaw 2003). From an organizational perspective, healthcare organizations that work with suppliers to resolve RFID technology issues are more likely to succeed and effectively manage the organizational change process (Shih, Chiu and Chang 2008). We discovered that the RFID supplier's post-sales support for user training and technical assistance would make RFID implementation easier and thus enhance the positive image of RFID.…”

The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the healthcare organization’s intention to use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for improving efficiency. This paper also intends to identify various factors that influence the adoption of RFID in the healthcare organization. This paper develops and tests seven different hypotheses. These hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling. Our results provide support for a number of relationships in the hypothesized model. These include direct relationships among the factors risk, resistance to change, supplier support and the factor perceived usefulness. However, the study did not find support for the relationship between the factors perceived ease of use and intention to use. The results provide support for several indirect relationships as well. These include indirect relationships between the factors perceived resistance to change, risk, suppliers’ support and perceived ease of use with the factor intention to adopt RFID technology in the healthcare organization. This research is grounded in the theory of reasoned action and applies the technology acceptance model (TAM) to the healthcare organization’s intention to use RFID technology.

“…In a mandatory adoption process, the adopters have no choice but to continue the use of RFID even though they may evaluate their confirmation and satisfaction status. The dissatisfied adopters intend to Implementation complexity, integration complexity The perceived complexity "actually came out of fear which was converted into reluctance" to adopt RFID (Farm C) Schmitt and Michahelles, 2009;Sharma et al, 2008;Chang et al, 2008;Shih et al, 2008;Tsai et al, 2010;Brown and Russell, 2007 Compatibility Compatibility with farming processes, styles, and existing technologies Compatibility "is not an issue as RFID did not conflict with our practice rather it is quite smart a process" (Farm D) Schmitt and Michahelles, 2009;Sharma et al, 2008;Chang et al, 2008;Brown and Russell, 2007 Trialability Try before implement, try in an incremental fashion "We implemented RFID in a trail basis, starting with animalidentification ending to farmintegration" (Farm C) Matta and Moberg, 2006 Cost RFID component costs, maintenance costs, on-going business costs…”

“…The second motivation of this research is, thus, to integrate the adoption factors of RFID with the factors for its continuance intention. Most studies on RFID adoption (Sharma et al, 2008;Cheng and Yang, 2007;Huyskens and Loebbecke, 2007;Lee and Shim, 2007;Matta and Moberg, 2006;Schmitt and Michahelles, 2009;Chang et al, 2008;Krasnova et al, 2008;Shih et al, 2008) and consumer acceptance of RFID (Hossain and Prybutok, 2008;Müller-Seitz et al, 2009) have dealt with various factors, predominantly in supply chain and logistics management, but none of those studies went beyond the adoption to study the continuance intention of RFID. Alternatively, studies, as done by Chen et al (2008), dealing with the continuance intention of RFID concentrate on the post-adoption factors, ignoring the adoption factors and processes.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this study is to examine the factors of radio frequency identification (RFID) adoption and its continuance intention in a mandatory and in a voluntary environment leading to developing an integrated framework. Design/methodology/approach -A qualitative research approach was taken in this study. The authors conducted an extensive field study, interviewing eight organizations. Factors have been analyzed from multiple perspectives and, where possible, related with the existing literature. Findings -The findings show that along with technological, organizational, and environmental factors RFID adoption also depends on the expectations and self-efficacy. Moreover, the process of continued usage intention involves satisfaction from current use and the degree of self-efficacy. Practical implications -This study focuses on the state of the RFID adoption, current usage satisfaction, and the continuance intention of the adopters toward RFID use. This study would guide the countries with mandatory RFID policy in organizational applications. Policy makers could compare their experience with the findings of this study, evaluate the past, and find the future direction.Originality/value -This study is the first of its kind to discuss the adoption factors (in a mixed environment; mandatory as well as voluntary) and to examine the continued usage behavior together in a single platform, for the first time.
