摘要
Nowadays, the role of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to facilitate the improvement of efficiency along the supply chain must be outlined. Thus, the aim of this paper is twofold: firstly, to know the potential contribution of ICTs implementation (related to packaging and to logistics use) to the improvement of competitiveness in companies and secondly, to know the level of adoption in the Spanish food sector (sample of 300 companies) of these ICTs (barcodes, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Radiofrequency Identification (RFID)), including the main causes that hinder a higher diffusion in companies.
