ABSTRACT
Although it is true that Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandates are the immediate reason for the increasing adoption of RFID technology, there are other more substantial reasons for it such as the urgent need to close the information gaps in a firm’s closed-loop supply chain in order to expedite turnaround time of cases and pallets. They have felt if the technology is good enough, the demand for it will increase, and technology deployment will drive the prices down.
