Cookies for the Real World: Assessing the Potential of RFID for Contractor Monitoring

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to draw together in one place knowledge that is relevant to the possible role of RFID (radio frequency identification) in contractor monitoring. The paper uses multiple case studies and internet survey methods to explore several issues in RFID-enabled monitoring of contractors. It also offers some conceptual frameworks to help decision makers think through ways RFID might emerge as a contractor monitoring technology as well as some of the key reasons for using this mechanism of monitoring. The paper concludes with research challenges and key issues for practitioners.
