Strategic e-business framework: a holistic approach for organisations in the construction industry

Abstract

Strategic consideration and actions are crucial for organisations in the construction industry to\nimplement e-business successfully and have continuous improvement. However, only focusing on one concept is\nnot sufficient for construction companies to formulate their e-business strategy because of the fragmented needs\nand requirements within the organisations. To address the industry’s specific needs and requirements, an ebusiness\nstrategy should include multiple elements rather than one element, and collaboration of partners\nshould lie at the heart of the e-business strategy. Also, the strategic approaches currently available for ebusiness\nimplementation are mainly ‘reactive’ and lack a long-term consideration or vision. To improve ebusiness\nimplementation, it is important for organisations in the industry to create a positive organisational\nculture and consider both the emergent and long-term needs across organisation boundaries. This paper\npresents a Strategic e-Business Framework for organisations in the construction industry. The Framework\nprovides a holistic approach for e-business strategy formulation and implementation. Organisations in the\nindustry can work out a comprehension business solution for their e-business implementation using the\nFramework. The recommendations are also presented to illustrate how the Framework can benefit organisations\nin the construction industry potentially.
