Digital transformation through Building Information Modelling: Spanning the macro-micro divide

Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2022, vol. 184, issue C

Abstract: Benefits of Building Information Modelling (BIM) have encouraged its adoption within organisations (i.e., micro level) and prompted many policy makers to establish market-wide BIM initiatives (i.e. macro level) to encourage its adoption. The adoption of a systemic innovation such as BIM within a complex socio-technical environment such as the construction sector requires a thorough understanding of its adoption dynamics at the micro-level and their interactions with the macro level. Studies addressing this theme are lacking which is a significant gap given the growing evidence of decoupling issues between the two levels and the need to support macro level initiatives with both theoretical foundation and empirical evidence.
