RFID as a Disruptive Innovation

Vlad Krotov, Iris Junglas · 2008 · Journal of theoretical and applied electronic commerce research

Summary. This paper analyzes RFID technology adoption through innovation theory, using Walmart's supply chain implementation as a case study. The authors argue that while Walmart treated RFID as an incremental improvement, the technology actually has disruptive potential across business and society. They propose two frameworks—object-oriented and visionary approaches—to help researchers and practitioners recognize and develop RFID's transformative applications beyond current narrow implementations.
