Call for Papers:

Mini-track - Traveling Through the Portal: RFID Experiences Around the
Globe

 

As companies expand into global marketplaces, and time to market
schedules are compressed, the ability for organizations to manage the
flow of information becomes critical. Companies have realized that
technology is a key driver to success by enabling information flows, and
many recognize the potential of radio frequency identification (RFID) to
facilitate those information flows throughout a global supply chain. In
these economically challenging times, organizations must adapt and
squeeze additional efficiencies out of their supply chain. The new
economic climate opens up a whole spectrum of possibilities for creating
new RFID- based services and applications.

 

>From a diffusion of innovation perspective, RFID as an information
technology presents new challenges for understanding its initiation,
adoption, adaptation, implementation, acceptance, use, routinization,
and infusion into the supply chain. This mini-track addresses issues
related to the application of RFID within the global context. We
encourage authors to share new and interesting theoretical and
methodological perspectives on topics relevant to both academic
researchers and practitioners. We invite traditional submissions
including empirical research and work in progress examining and
extending theory, as well as new paths of discovery including
frameworks, case studies, and data analytics.

 

Topics. The following include suggestions for applicable topics (but not
limited to) for this mini-track:

* Benefits from RFID

* Challenges to RFID implementation and diffusion

* Changes to different industries prompted by RFID

* Technical integration of RFID with other applications

* RFID impact on changes to business processes

* Establishing the business case(s) for RFID adoption and diffusion

* RFID impact on physical health and individual privacy

* RFID impact on interorganizational collaboration

* Standards for the proliferation and use of RFID

* Effective implementation of RFID in the global business community

 

As in previous years, the RFID mini-track is soliciting high-quality
papers. We welcome a wide variety of papers including conceptual,
empirical, analytical, qualitative analyses, and case studies on any
topic that is relevant to the RFID phenomenon.


Important dates are:


January 4, 2010: Submission system begins accepting paper submissions
March 1, 2010: Deadline for paper submissions (through AMCIS online
submission system)

April 12, 2010: Notification of acceptance of papers
April 26, 2010: Final camera-ready copy due
