摘要：While the benefits of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology adoption by organizations within supply chains have regularly been cited in the academic and trade presses, actual adoption has lagged behind early predictions and expectations [9; 18; 33; 41]. One possible explanation for lagging adoption rates may be the relative lack of research on the antecedents of RFID adoption. A thorough review of previous technology adoption research and of RFID research identified four categories of adoption variables. From these categories, four specific variables (top management support, organizational size, expected return on investment, and external pressure from outside forces) are identified as most likely to affect RFID adoption based on their impact on previous technology adoptions and their projected impact on RFID adoption. It is suggested that empirical research on RFID adoption begin with these variables so that support can be provided to increase the adoption of RFID within supply chains.
