E‐Business: A Review of Research Published in Production and Operations Management (1992–2008)

Abstract

W e review, classify, consolidate, and synthesize the contributions to the expanding field of e-business that have been published in Production and Operations Management. We classify e-business research in the following four categories: (1) e-auctions, (2) radio frequency identification, (3) e-business system design, and (4) competition, conflict, collaboration, and coordination (C 4 in e-business). We identify important research themes, research methodologies, and research techniques within each of these categories. We also provide directions for future research and discuss the managerial implications of the e-business research reported in our paper.

The Role of Operations Management Across the Entrepreneurial Value Chain

“…For a review on capacity planning and risk management, see van Mieghem () and on e‐business see Gupta et al. ()…”

Introducing a Novel Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to Optimize Network of Industrial Applications in Modern Manufacturing

“…Nowadays, this technology has been replaced with RFID technology which has been used effectively in industries and it has been a topic of research interest for many researchers. Gupta et al [34] investigated RFID importance in production and operation management. Irani et al [35] proposed a framework for presenting research obstacles related to RFID technology.…”

“…The hardware part consists of tags, readers, and antennas and the software includes middleware, which can be defined also as the computer unit [34]. It should be noted that the antenna can be part of the reader, meaning more than one antenna can be connected to one reader (see Figure 3).…”

RFID and the Internet of Things: Technology, Applications, and Security Challenges

“…We will not be able to cover all of those in this paper and therefore refer the reader to some related work. The growing importance of RFID is reflected by its inclusion into the main categories of e-business as presented by Gupta et al [55]. A general meta study and framework for RFID-related research issues is presented by Irani et al [59].…”
