“…Whilst previous research dealing with industry-specific characteristics and their role in ICT adoption and use has provided important understanding in terms of explaining the role of various knowledge domains (Söderholm, 2006), the mode of organising operations (Croker and Rowlinson, 2007), the focus on control and calculation (Jacobsson and Linderoth, 2010;Davies and Harty, 2013), and national organisational contexts (Gustavsson et al, 2012) to mention a few, this study extends previous knowledge through the development of a framework for industry analysis. More specifically, the paper contributes with illustrations and application of the framework to AEC industry-specific conditions.…”

“…Harty, 2005). On the other hand, looking at research on ICT within the AEC industry, adoption and use seems to be propelled by an opposite reasoning, in terms of self-interest among actors and a focus on control and calculation (Davies and Harty, 2013;Jacobsson andLinderoth, 2010, 2012). Consequently, the current drivers for adoption and use seem to be inconsistent with some of the AEC industry's central characteristics.…”

Despite wide-ranging research on information and communication technologies (ICT) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, little is known about the role that industry plays in the adoption and use of ICT. Based on observations of how the drivers for ICT use seem to be inconsistent with the industry's central characteristics, and drawing on Information Systems (IS) research that demonstrates the role of shared systems of meaning, the purpose here is to develop an analytical framework that explains how industry shapes the adoption and use of ICT. Building on a theoretically driven approach and a case study, a framework is first sketched and then substantiated through empirical illustrations. Three dimensions of industry are highlighted: the socio-cognitive environment, the market-and production environment, and institutional actors. It is explained how the interplay of these dimensions shapes the way the industry functions, which in turn influence the adoption and use of ICT. The outcomes of the interplay can either be aligned or misaligned with ICT, which explains why certain aligned applications are rapidly adopted, whereas other applications are not. The primary implication is that the framework can aid in analysing the need for structural adaptation when trying to achieve ICT-induced change.

“…Formal (case A) or informal (case B) communications . Prerequisite (case A) or pre-existing (case B) trust Whilst construction is generally deemed slow in technology absorption (Davies & Harty, 2013), there are encouraging notes that firms actively engage in BIM. Drawing upon the framework of Lambert et al (1996), the partnerships focused on time investment for joint BIM learning during the project, rather than investment in tangible assets, such as acquiring technology or hiring specialized personnel.…”

Digitizing buildings via building information modelling (BIM) is increasingly gaining traction in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector. The plethora of BIM-based technologies affects both inter-and intra-organizational relations. Structured inter-organizational networks across tiers, such as supply chain (SC) partnerships were used to examine how BIM affects these changing relations across and within firms' boundaries. Empirical explorations around the interplay between BIM and SC partnering -as a proxy for supply chain management (SCM) philosophywere deployed to assess their contribution to SC integration, and to investigate the functions of key actors in AEC. One young and one long-standing SC partnership were studied, and it was observed that the contractual arrangements had to be complemented by well-defined BIM scope, and communications across multiple tiers to built trust and support collaboration in the network. There were two types of BIM-enabled SC partnering: with emphasis on either transactions or relations, the former being merely operational whereas the latter strategic. These interorganizational orientations of BIM-enabled SC partnering outlined further intra-organizational conditions for integration regarding functional division, business models and services offered. The study carries implications for BIM and SCM researchers, policy-makers and practitioners, and proposes strategies for SC integration by aligning intra-with inter-organizational relations.

“…The resistance happens because of even user's unawareness or un -satisfaction of BIM benefits and advantages (Arayici et al 2011Brewer & Gajendran 2012Lee et al 2013) The acceptance to adopt BIM technology is not a simple case of approval or rejection, various researchers have proposed diverse factors that can influence technology adoption and acceptance. For instance, Davies & Harty (2013) identified that the individual beliefs and expectations regard ing the technology consequence use have important role in successful adoption. Deutsch et al (2011) discussed three change drivers due to technology adoption as people, business, and the technology itself.…”

The use of Build ing Informat ion Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry has been growing steadily during the last decade, yet there is a continues resistance to its adoption, due to some users' unawareness of BIM benefits. BIM adoption is associated with an individual's willingness towards using it wh ich is driven by indiv idual beliefs and expectations of BIM use consequences. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) identified perceived usefulness (PE) and perceived ease of use PEOU as variables to inform us with user's mind-set and intentions towards the use of technology. This research proposes a conceptual framework for explo ring and measuring indiv idual willingness level for adopting BIM, based on individual beliefs and expectations of BIM use consequences in construction industry. The research conducted literature rev iew on technology acceptance and use theories from IS mainstream to identify the individual beliefs and expectations variables, then conducted a literature review on case studies researches that directly applied TAM, to contextualize the variables into BIM in construction environment. The research outcome identified the indiv idual willingness constructs to accept and use BIM: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social conditions, facilitating conditions, and attitude towards using .
