Status of E-Business Implementation in the Construction Industry University of Florida, 2005 ABSTRACT: This study is an update of a previous study completed in 2000 dealing with the implementation of e-Business in the construction industry. The main objective was to determine if and how e-Business strategies have changed in the construction industry and whether or not more of the top construction industries are using e-Business to their advantage compared to five years ago. This was completed by conducting an e-Business assessment survey. The survey was designed for the following purposes: Whether the construction industry has become more receptive to information technologies and e-Business practices; Why companies use e-Business in their work strategies and how it impacts their work process; What extent companies use these strategies, technologies, and applications; Whether companies plan to continue spending on e-Business applications. |
