What is the current level of knowledge development on RFID technology, the technology at the core of the
“Internet of Things” within the AIS basket of top journals? And what are the potential future research directions on RFID technology within this outlet? To answer these questions, we conducted a comprehensive review of articles published between 2000 and 2011 in journals within the AIS basket of top journals. A total of 25 relevant papers were found and analyzed by publication year, application areas, topics, approaches, and theories used. Finally, a list of potential research directions is discussed.

1. Introduction
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a “wireless automatic identification and data capture
(AIDC)” technology (p. 615) [1] that allows end-to-end supply chain item level tracking and tracing. The technology is considered by scholars and practitioners as at the core of the so-called “Internet of Things”, which refers to the “possibility of discovering information about a tagged object by browsing an Internet address or database entry that corresponds to a particular RFID” (p. 2) [2]. However, a basic RFID system is not that complex; it is made of three important components: (i) a tag, which can be embedded in or
