description

(1) The construction industry typically lags behind in adopting technology. (2) Given the fact that the process of construction is critically dependent on relevant, accurate and timely information, ICT can play a very important role in the industry. (3) The industry is actually missing out on the crucial advantages offered by ICT. ICT is used by and large as mere enhancement tools, not as agents that can transform and thus revolutionize the process of construction. (4) A new approach based on the technology management principles will enable researchers to formulate new strategic directions. (5) This paper will explore successful technology management strategies in the context of ICT implementation in construction.
