Ten years have passed since Wal-Marts public announcement about its RFID technology adoption plan in 2003. Some large competitors of Wal-Mart in the U.S. retail industry jumped on the trend of RFID technology adoption. However, there has been a slowdown of RFID technology adoption since 2008. Many U.S. retailers do not consider adopting RFID technology because of the uncertainty of return on investment and the lack of business cases demonstrating its profitability or efficiency. This study investigates whether RFID companies have better financial performance ratios in the U.S. retail supply chains. RFID retailers have significantly lower days-in-inventory and lower per-employee costs. Compared with pre-RFID, the RFID retailers do not improve profit ratios after they adopted it, but their days-in-inventory ratio and sales efficiency improve significantly. Panel data regression analyses show that inventory management efficiency does impact gross margins, but the impact of cost efficiency is negligible. RFID retailers have a positive relationship with gross margin increases. In summary, it could be stated that introducing RFID improves inventory management efficiency but we do not know yet if RFID technology adoption also contributes to profitability in U.S. retail industry.

As dual-use technologies transform the national security landscape, the U.S. Department of Defense has established a variety of offices and programs dedicated to bringing private sector innovation into the military. However, these efforts have largely failed to drive cutting-edge commercial technology into major military platforms and systems. This report examines the shortcomings of the DOD’s current approach to defense innovation and offers recommendations for a more effective strategy.

This chapter provides insights into bundling practices for online reverse auctions by exploring approaches and reporting experiences of 252 companies in the U.S. manufacturing industry. Within the context of Parente et al.’s (2004) conceptual framework for the analysis of online auctions, aspects of the “Product Characteristics” component were explored. Bundling issues investigated include content, goals, structure, and performance. Following the theme of the book, differences and similarities in bundling behavior and outcomes between small and large enterprises are emphasized, highlighting the impact of firm size and the resulting strategies explored. While large corporations are usually on the forefront of information technology adoption and use, the potential is significant for smaller firms as well. As such, this chapter provides managerial insights, useful especially to smaller companies, for successfully employing bundles in reverse auctions.

The on-farm impacts of non-toxic tall fescue endophyte technology have only been partially realised in the United States. Based on current tall fescue acreage, the potential for non-toxic endophyte-infected tall fescue products is immense. However, 6 years after the introduction of the first non-toxic endophyte tall fescue technology to the U.S. market, less than 1% of the total tall fescue acres in the U.S. have been renovated using this technology. Success with leading producers that influence other producers, educational partnerships, and strong product advertising are factors favouring adoption of this technology. Factors slowing this technology adoption include key markets lacking adequate marketing and technical support, lack of producer awareness and inaccurate perceptions about the technology, and acreage moving out of pasture and into alternative enterprises including urban development. Rapidly changing social, political, and economic conditions have the potential to drive profit-minded producers to give more consideration to forage technology adoption.
