Understanding the determinants of RFID adoption in the manufacturing industry
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2010Co-Authors: Yu-min Wang, Yi Shun Wang, Yong Fu YangAbstract:Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the most promising technological innovations, with the potential to increase supply chain visibility and improve process efficiency. It allows remote identification of an object using a radio link. However, it has yet to see high rates of adoption in the manufacturing industry. Thus, effort is required to identify determinants affecting RFID adoption in the manufacturing industry. Based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework of Tornatzky and Fleischer (L.G. Tornatzky, M. Fleischer, The processes of technological innovation, Lexington Books, 1990), nine variables (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, top management support, firm size, technology competence, information intensity, competitive pressure, and Trading Partner pressure) are proposed to help predict RFID adoption. Data collected from 133 manufacturers in Taiwan is tested against the proposed research model using logistic regression. The results and implications included in our study contribute to an expanded understanding of the determinants that affect RFID adoption in the manufacturing industry. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Inflation in New Zealand’s Trading Partner economies
Reserve Bank of New Zealand Bulletin, 2008Co-Authors: Satish RanchhodAbstract:Inflation pressures in other economies have important implications for inflation, activity and monetary policy in New Zealand. This article examines inflation trends in New Zealand’s Trading Partner economies over the past decade. Looking at a range of inflation measures, we observe that the low inflation seen in our Trading Partner economies in the mid- 1990s has now given way to a period of higher inflation. Increases in inflation rates have been seen in all regions, with particularly notable increases in Asian economies. Higher inflation in our Trading Partner economies has been related to strength in global growth and the closer integration of Asia and emerging markets into the global econoy. These developments have contributed to increased demands on productive resources and strong growth in commodity prices. Such increases have been reflected in higher consumer prices and export prices in our Trading Partner economies. In New Zealand, these developments have contributed to a more challenging environment for monetary policy, with stronger consumer price inflation and increased headwinds for growth.

ICIS - Trading Partner trust in electronic commerce participation
2000Co-Authors: Pauline Ratnasingham, Kuldeep KumarAbstract:The growth of business-to-business e-commerce has highlighted the role of computer and communications technologies as well as inter-organizational trust in developing and maintaining business-to-business relationships. Despite the acknowledged importance of trust, only a limited amount of research exists and that examines the role of trust in these relationships. By investigating inter-organizational relationships and trust in e-commerce, this study will enable us to identify factors leading to successful e-commerce participation (adoption and integration). Drawing on theories such as trust in business relationships, inter-organizational relationship theories, transaction cost economics, and resource dependency theory, this paper develops a conceptual model to examine the impact of Trading Partner trust in e-commerce participation. The model is currently being tested through multiple in-depth case studies. The findings of the case studies are expected to increase the awareness of e-commerce adopters and implementers about the importance of Trading Partner trust in e-commerce participation.

Risks in low trust among Trading Partners in electronic commerce
Computers & Security, 1999Co-Authors: Pauline RatnasinghamAbstract:Most scholars have linked trust and risks when defining trust. Alternatively, research relating to electronic commerce security focuses on issues relating to the technology. This paper discusses trust and risk in business to business electronic commerce from a management perspective and risks relating to business management risks arising from low Trading Partner trust. Factors such as opportunistic behaviour, uncertainty, coercive power, and conflict among Trading Partners will be discussed as part of relational and performance risks.

Special feature: Implicit trust in the risk assessment process of EDI
Computers & Security, 1999Co-Authors: Pauline RatnasinghamAbstract:The objective of this paper is to discuss the impact of implicit trust in EDI via a model showing the evolution of technology, trust and security from traditional commerce to modern electronic commerce. While discussing the research method applied in the risk assessment process, the paper also describes an initial pilot case study undertaken to explore the impact of a Trading Partner's trust in EDI. The study is novel, in that it puts particular emphasis on the role 'Trading Partner trust' plays in EDI security, whereas most current literature on trust in electronic commerce is about protecting and attracting more customers.

an integrated approach of fuzzy ahp and fuzzy topsis in modeling supply chain coordination
Production & Manufacturing Research, 2014Co-Authors: Rajendra Kumar Shukla, Dixit Garg, Ashish AgarwalAbstract:In improving overall supply chain performance, coordination of supply chain of Trading Partner plays a crucial role. For allocating the components or services to Trading Partner, it would be significant to analyze level of coordination in their supply chain. This paper presents how Analytic Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution in Fuzzy environment can be integrated for a more consistent evaluation and prioritization of Trading Partner based on four coordination criteria namely joint decision-making, information sharing, use of information technology tools, and resource sharing determined by factor analysis of survey data and expert opinion. A case study of Indian automotive parts manufacturing company is described to illustrate the application of the proposed method. Fuzzy AHP is used to calculate relative weights of each coordination criterion and then Partners are ranked based on closeness coefficient, calculated for each Partner using Fuzzy TOPSIS.

Modelling Supply Chain Coordination: An Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process under Fuzzy Environment
International Journal of Supply Chain Management, 2013Co-Authors: Rajendra Kumar Shukla, Dixit Garg, Ashish AgarwalAbstract:Coordination of supply chain of Trading Partner plays a crucial role in improving overall supply chain performance. For allocating the component or services to Trading Partner, it would be significant to analyze the supply chain coordination of the Trading Partner. In order to prioritize supply chain coordination mechanisms the conventional methods are hardly adequate to deal with the imprecise or vague nature of linguistic assessment. To overcome this difficulty, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making model is proposed. In this study, a fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied for prioritization of coordination mechanisms for selected supply chain. A case study of Indian automotive parts manufacturing company is described to illustrate the application of the used method. This paper presents how Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) can be applied to allow for evaluation and prioritization of mechanisms used to coordinate a supply chain. After determining, the coordination criteria that affect the Supply chain Partner prioritization, fuzzy AHP method is applied to the problem and results related to the prioritization of coordination mechanisms are presented.

the e integration dilemma the linkages between internet technology application Trading Partner relationships and structural change
Journal of Operations Management, 2007Co-Authors: Damien Power, Prakash J SinghAbstract:Abstract The evidence from an empirical study involving 281 Australian organizations suggests that the availability, open nature, and (comparative) ease of implementation of Internet technologies for integration with Trading Partners, whilst on the one hand providing the means by which organizations can integrate processes and systems in a cost effective way, can amplify the need for both structural change and closer collaboration with Trading Partners. The relationships proposed and tested in the model are justified and explained based on a number of theoretical perspectives. These include Transaction Cost Economics, Socio-technical Systems, Resource Dependency, Knowledge Based View, Stakeholder Theory and Organizational Learning. The implications of the findings for Transaction Cost Theory are noteworthy firstly because they support the appropriateness of the inter-organizational governance structure in the context of this study, and secondly because although application of these technologies may reduce information search and related costs, whether this necessarily leads to reduced coordination costs is problematic. The potential benefits from improved coordination may be constrained by the perceived costs, and risks, of transition to new structural forms. The implication for practice is that increased use of Internet technologies creates substantial pressure to invest in organizational change. The attractiveness of investing in technologies that place managers in a position where they need to promote organizational change in order to extract adequate returns creates a significant dilemma. On the one hand Internet technologies enable extensive sharing and integration of data among Trading Partners, but at the same time they create conditions requiring managers to embrace fundamental organizational change in order to leverage the potential of such integration.
