Abstract :
The radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging technology is being implemented by many businesses for production efficiency, logistics planning, supply-chain management, and other business related operations. However, there have been several implementation and control issues with the pervasiveness of this technology. This paper analyzes the security and privacy issues with the use of RFID in the commercial industry. It proceeds to assess the challenges with industry standardization among the RFID manufacturers at both the national and international borders. The Wal-Mart company is then used as a case study to assess its strategic use of RFID technology and its advantageously competitive positioning in light of its RFID technological renovation
