Abstract
Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this article is to review some of the most prominent applications of RFID in industries and to provide a comprehensive review of the work done from 1985 through 2007 and the research trend on that. The effectiveness of RFID and the challenges that it is facing with are also discussed. Some applications of radio frequency identification in supply chain are briefly reviewed and three large cases of radio frequency identification implementation in supply chain are discussed.
Design/methodology/approach: Provides some background on radio frequency identification, and a deep look at the researches conducted from 1985 through 2007. Articles are classified by the year of publications and each case is discussed very briefly. To obtain a good understanding of the level of the researches completed up to the end of 2007 a table and graph are used to demonstrate the summary of results.
Findings: In this research, author came up with 401 articles on RFID as all are listed in a table. The findings point to this fact that research on RFID has started to pick up on year 2002 with 16 publications and then reached to its pick at year 2005 with 112 publications, and then trend went down to 42 and then up to 51 publications for years 2006 and 2007, respectively.
Practical implications (if applicable):
What is original/value of paper: Due to the fact that a better management of a system is related to the full understanding of the technologies implemented, sufficient background on the radio frequency identification technology is provided and the types of researches conducted so far on this matter are briefly discussed.

Abstract
The main objective of the present survey is to conduct a comparative analysis of the challenges of the performance evaluation system in two private and public sectors and their impact on effectiveness of human resources management practices. This survey was conducted using the field-descriptive method. The historical study method was used to collect theoretical subjects and the field study method was applied to answer the research questions and confirm or reject the research hypotheses. Statistical population of the research included all experts and managers at various levels in two private and public sectors of the petrochemical industry. Cluster-stratified sampling method in two phases was utilized. According to the results of the present survey, there is a significant difference among identified challenges in the performance evaluation system in two private and public sectors of the petrochemical industry. Results demonstrate that the effectiveness level of human resource management practices in the performance evaluation system is higher than the average level in the public sector, effectiveness level of human resource management practices in the performance evaluation system is lower than the average level in the private sector of the petrochemical industry, and there is a significant difference between the effectiveness level of human resource management practices in the performance evaluation system in two private and public sectors of petrochemical industry. Studying the impact of existing challenges in the performance evaluation system on effectiveness of human resource management practices shows existence of a significant and reversed relation among the existing challenges in the performance evaluation system and effectiveness of human resource management practices in this regard.
