Case studies of four buying organisations in the healthcare sector (hospitals) and two suppliers (medical device companies), represe…
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is increasingly being presented as a technology with the potential to improve supply chain performance, but empirical evidence from early adopters is sparse.
