Abstract

This study focuses on the potential for value creation in combining radio frequency identification (RFID) technology with social media marketing. We analyse a value network comprising an RFID technology provider, a software supplier, a sports centre adopting the system, and the sports centre's end customers. The findings suggest that value creation related to new technology requires deep collaboration between the suppliers, as they need to develop value propositions that motivate companies to adopt new systems and end customers to use these systems. The threat to the end customer of losing privacy when RFID technology is employed, and the interactive nature of communication in social media, means that the value created by a system combining RFID technology and social media is highly dependent on the end customer's motivation to be involved in value creation.
