What do the authors say is the purpose of their study?
What did Melville have to say about the role that information systems play related to environmental sustainability?
RFID technology utilization, GSCM practices, and environmental performance. How do the authors define/describe the three constructs?
List the five hypotheses that the authors assess.
Based on the authors' support for hypotheses four and five, describe the potential mediation effect of GSCMP and describe the potential moderation effect of the interaction between RFID and GSCMP.
what is the difference between mediation and moderation?
Describe the sample of experts that provided data for the study.
Where did the measurement scales for RFID, GSCMP, and environmental performance come from? Based on the authors' analysis, are the measurement scales both reliable and valid? Explain.
Look at the results of the statistical analysis depicted in Figures 2 and 3 and the Table 3. Which of the five hypotheses are supported by the results and which hypothesis is not supported?
Consider hypothesis four (mediation). Does GSCMP mediate the impact of RFID on environmental performance? What does this mean? (Paragraph 3 in the Conclusions section with help you answer the "what" question.)
Consider hypothesis five (moderation). RFID and GSCMP both directly impact environmental performance, but do they interact to explain additional variation in environmental performance? What does this mean? Paragraph 3 in the Conclusions section with help you with the "what" question.
Does the implementation of RFID technology support the implementation of an environmental sustainability strategy? Answer based on the results of the Green et al. (2017) study and then explain what it is about RFID that leads to improved environmental sustainability. In other words, why/how is RFID inherently an environmentally friendly technology?
