ABSTRACT Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) research often engages linear approaches for embedding/implementing/diffusing new technology into existing business systems and processes. However, developments in information and communication technology (ICT) often fail to deliver their full potential for a number of reasons. This paper presents these challenges and highlights the need to embrace equifinality as part of a structured approach for improving impact diffusion. The central tenet and foci of this work rests with the optimization of AEC business agility. Given this, a multiple case study approach using three large construction organizations (in Turkey) was used to capture primary data from 30 respondents – representing viewpoints from three management levels: top management, middle management and first line management. Findings are presented in the form of a conceptual framework, the details of which highlight the constructs needed (inter alia ICT adoption/diffusion) to develop organizational: (i) responsiveness, (ii) flexibility and (iii) corporate competence.

重新定义建筑行业的 ICT 嵌入性：最大化技术传播能力以支持敏捷性

摘要 架构、工程和施工 (AEC) 研究通常采用线性方法将新技术嵌入/实施/扩散到现有业务系统和流程中。然而，由于多种原因，信息和通信技术 (ICT) 的发展往往无法充分发挥其潜力。本文提出了这些挑战，并强调了将平等作为改善影响扩散的结构化方法的一部分的必要性。这项工作的中心原则和重点在于优化 AEC 业务敏捷性。鉴于此，使用三个大型建筑组织（土耳其）的多案例研究方法来获取 30 位受访者的原始数据——代表三个管理层的观点：高层管理人员、中层管理人员和一线管理人员。
