Diffusion of digital innovation in construction: a case study of a UK engineering firm

Amna Shibeika, Chris Harty · 2015 · Construction Management and Economics

Summary. A UK engineering firm adopted building information modelling (BIM) technology over four years in response to government mandates for large public projects. The study reveals that digital innovation diffused through three phases: centralizing technology management, standardizing digital practices, and globalizing digital resources. Diffusion occurred along multiple, overlapping paths within the firm's complex organization, following a non-linear process shaped by changing organizational context and uncertainty.
