Advances in information technology and the globalization of enterprises are both realities and opportunities of the twenty-first century. This article aims to examine the framework of radio frequency identification technology adoption and improving process performance in the manufacturing supply chain. The research based on IT adoption literatures to explore the related factors of radio frequency identification (RFID) application. In a word, this study differs crucially from previous research, the study (1) addresses interactive firm behaviors in RFID adoption and highlights the value of performance, (2) identifies related constructs of RFID adoption included the industry competition, innovation characteristics as technological complexity and compatibility and cost, and (3) provides research suggestions in RFID adoption behavior and performance focus on efficiency and value for the data collected with 161 manufacturing firms. Thus, we hope the final result is useful to educational circles and practice.
