Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification technologies (RFId) have the potential to reshape entire supply chains. The ability to univocally track down goods at an item or part level could dramatically improve the efficiency of business process. moreover, even if generally compared to barcode, RFId applications provide an extended flexibility being able to provide a standard, common platform on winch users can build their applications. However, the future of this technology is not yet clear. RFId technological components are continuously being innovated, "real life" business cases are very limited and generally centered on huge retailers' trials, standards are being defined and literature on the subject is scarce. This paper is a first proposal for a comprehensive framework to asses the main aspects of RFId adoption in terms of cost and benefits drowning its basis form interorganizational literature.
