Exploratory Research to Apply Leadership Theory to the Implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (Rfid) (Report‪)‬

INTRODUCTION Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) represents the next generation of supply chain management technology. An RFID system typically includes tags, tag readers, antenna, middleware, and application software, providing a much more efficient way to track, locate, and manage objects than bar coding. This technology presents certain risks to companies and the general public, such as consumer privacy invasion, lack of regulations and legislation on data sharing, system failures, loss of data, and tag or reader malfunction (Higgins and Cairney, 2006).
