In the container shipping industry, the importance of adopting technology for enhancing transport security has been well acknowledged. Institutional pressures can be a key driver of change for firms in a container transport chain and these firms include shippers, consignees, freight forwarders, transport operators, maritime carriers, container terminal operators, customs authorities, and government agencies. Technological devices such as radio-frequency identification, the smart box initiative, non-intrusive inspection, and Automatic Identification System have been adopted to enhance container transport security. This chapter discusses the implications of the different types of institutional isomorphism from the perspectives of container transport operators that have taken the initiative to adopt technology for container transport security enhancement and those that have followed other firms to adopt the technology. The possible impacts of the different types of institutional isomorphism, namely coercion, mimesis, and norms, elaborated in this study can help shipping and logistics managers better understand the institutional pressures that are put on them, and the institutional pressures that drive them to adopt technologies in the container transport chain.
