“…It is important to note that construction companies are usually reluctant to adopt new technologies [122]. As a result, as seen in Figure 2 and asserted by [123], construction companies' procurement operations have chiefly been conducted using traditional procurement methods. Unfortunately, this process is prone to fluctuations in price depending on the type of product, the volume of the demand, and the level of urgency in the delivery [124].…”

The growing interest in digitalization signals a need for technology-oriented supply chain operations in the construction industry. Electronic procurement (e-procurement) aims to convert traditional procurement approaches into web-based/online platforms. Even though e-procurement is an effective tool that may improve supply chain management, the extent of e-procurement implementation has been slow to date. This study investigates the barriers that hinder e-procurement implementation in construction supply chains with the aim of prioritizing solutions to the identified barriers relative to time, cost, quality, and construction owner satisfaction. A comprehensive literature survey was performed, and a focus group discussion was organized for the purpose of the study, which resulted in the identification of 28 barriers. Then, a total of 131 construction practitioners were contacted to evaluate the barriers through a questionnaire survey. The responses were analyzed using the fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarities to Ideal Solution (fuzzy TOPSIS) for prioritization. Finally, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain a deeper insight into the transformation process from the conventional procurement route to the e-procurement solution. Findings highlight that issues related to unexpected order cancellations, large variations in material costs, and the uncertain nature of the industry that requires a large number of changes are ranked as the most significant barriers. Given the highly competitive environment and the high demand for advanced technologies in the construction industry, a new paradigm can enhance the efficiency of supply chain operations. Exploring and eliminating the potential difficulties of adopting e-procurement in the procurement process may be a good start. Overall, this research is expected to facilitate the transformation of the procurement process by addressing the critical barriers identified by practitioners.

“…Construction is recognized as one of the most data/information intense industries as it includes multiple lifecycle phases with interdisciplinary integration of systems and stakeholders (Luo et al, 2022). It is noted that construction, is the leading contributor to GDP in many countries, in terms of infrastructure development, housing development and employment opportunity generation (Nguyen and Le, 2022). Therefore, knowledge sharing, and exchange has become an evitable component that enables long-term value and impact creation within such an industry.…”

For over half a century, the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) conference has progressively contributed to the built environment both in academia and industry. ASC Conference uses education and practice as the main themes to channel papers that range across different built environment disciplines. Although most contributions to the ASC conference were facilitated by US-based institutions, there is a growing international interest, hence, it is vital to recognize conference considerations, contributions to academia and the industry and shed the light on future trends. This paper attempted to thematically review ASC proceedings from 2002-2021 retrieved from ASC archives with a total of 1317 manuscripts. The findings revealed that the main themes of academia and industry have been equally recognized in the ASC conference proceedings with a noticeable rise toward industry-based publications in recent years. As resulted from thematic analysis, 11 main publication disciplines were proposed. The construction management, risk management and sustainability disciplines have been mostly served among the proposed disciplines. The trend analysis highlighted the growing tendency to integrate technology features into academia and industry research. Finally, the key research findings facilitate a robust mechanism to determine future ASC conference themes while unveiling avenues to expand international outreach and exposure.
