PublicationA cross-national comparison of perceived strategic importance of RFID for CIOs in Germany and ItalyPurpose Drawing from literature on innovation, strategy and culture the objective of this study is to explore the role of perceived potentials and perceived strategic importance on CIOs’ perspective on RFID technology in two different cultural settings. Methodology Based on survey responses from 463 German and 157 Italian IT decision makers we analyzed the data with PLS structural equation modeling. Findings We show that perceived potentials of RFID influence the perceived strategic importance which positively influences CIOs’ intention to invest in RFID. The composition of perceived potentials affecting the strategic importance of RFID differs significantly in both cultures. In Germany, potentials attributed to RFID are improving quality, automating manpower, reducing counterfeits, and improving customer service. Italian CIOs value reducing stock inconsistencies, optimizing stock keeping, and improving customer service as RFID potentials. Regardless of culture, findings show that company size hardly has impact on perceived strategic importance. Originality/value This research shows on a large empirical basis cultural differences in the perception of RFID in two countries using PLS.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal of Information Management (IJTM)Volume: 29Issue: 1

PublicationRFID as enabler for the boundless real-time organisation: empirical insights from GermanyRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) is currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena. It is described as a major enabling technology for automated contactless wireless data collection, and as an enabler for the real-time enterprise, a future vision for enterprise information systems. Little is known, however, about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RFID usage and areas of application, or companies' intentions to invest in RFID. In this paper we intend to fill this gap. We convey a quantitative survey among CIOs in Germany across various industries. We present empirical insights on CIOs' perceptions of the strategic importance of RFID, its relevance compared to other IT topics, and their RFID visions for the future of their company.Type: journal articleJournal: International journal of networking and virtual organisations : IJNVOVolume: 4Issue: 1

PublicationRFID-based media usage panels in real-world settings(Association for Information Systems, 2010-06-01)
;Koene, Philip ;Köbler, Felix ;Burgner, Peter ;Resatsch, Florian ;Sandner, UweKrcmar, HelmutTraditional paper-based longitudinal or cross section panel surveys, used for market research are time and cost consuming and can suffer from contaminating effects like social desirability bias or respondent conditioning. Electronic data capture methods can improve the time and cost efficiency of market research panels. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology allows a seamless and non-intrusive integration of information systems into everyday life environments. This enables the automated electronic acquisition of media usage data, without direct interference with the media consumption and thus without the contaminating effects of traditional panel surveys. Consequently, we introduce an RFID-based prototype system called MUSE (Media Usage in Supportive Environments) that supports automatic measurements of print media usage in public environments. MUSE was tested in an initial field study over the course of six weeks in the waiting room of a German medical practice. The study showed that MUSE could monitor the usage of print media, laid out for waiting patients, autonomously and with minimal errors. Furthermore, the RFID technology was perceived as nonintrusive. This study is the first to show how RFID enhanced real world settings can be used for nonintrusive media usage analysis in real life. Based on the findings we derive recommendations for future research for RFID supported media usage analysis.Type: conference paper -
