Abstract

Humanitarian logistics is an essential element of disaster management, and it presents many challenges due to the unique disaster relief environment. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been increasingly considered to improve the efficiency of supply chain management. Increasing complexity of supply chains due to globalisation efforts has led to organisations having difficulties with both collaboration and agility in getting aid to individuals in need. RBV and social capital theory are used in this research paper to clarify the positive association between RFID use and collaboration among organisations and their suppliers. It is also discussed to demonstrate the association of inter-organisational trust and its moderating role in the relationship between RFID use and collaboration as well as collaboration and its positive association with agility.
