Business Information Modelling 2IntroductionThe literature review will provide an analysis of the theories that support the use of Business Information Modeling technology in the construction industry. It will also analyze empirical studies to gather information on the adoption of building information modeling with reference to its barriers, impact, and factors that facilitate its implementation. The aim is to identify areas that require further research. Theoretical frameworkSchumpeter’s Theory of Economic DevelopmentThe theory describes the process of change driven by innovation. In the theory, the entrepreneur drives growth by using innovation to create opportunities (Śledzik 2015). Schumpeter argued that innovation resulted in creative destruction, which is an industrial change that revolutionizes the economy (Śledzik 2015). The evolution of Business Information Modeling can be explained using this theory because it is an innovation aimed at changing the construction industry. According to Allen and Shakantu (2016), it can be argued that the use of BIM innovation could create a revolution in the construction industry by changing the information platform and business model. The use of BIM could lead to the more effective use ofresources in the construction projects. Additionally, growth can be achieved by using the technology to focus on aspects such as quality and cost that create a competitive advantage, which increases the company's returns. The theory does not specify the process used to develop innovations.Darwin’s Theory of Organic EvolutionThe theory describes the process of survival of living organisms. In the theory, it is argued that living organisms reproduce at a high rate yet the population manages to stabilize
Business Information Modelling 3(Singh 2013). According to Singh (2013), these organisms are in a continuous struggle for survival due to the competition for the scarce resources available. The organisms develop traits that make them unique and able to survive in the competitive environment due to a competitive advantage. Eventually, these traits are passed on to the new generations. Businesses can be understood using this theory. In 2016, companies in the construction industry still used traditional processes, which led to underutilization of resources, despite the disruption due to new technology (Allen & Shakantu 2016). Allen and Shakantu (2016) argue that the failure to use the latest technology would lead to the failure of the businesses due to competition. Based onthis assessment, the use of technology such the IBM gives a company in the construction industry a competitive advantage that assists its survival. Theory and Rhetoric Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)The theory is revolutionizing the business world. It is argued that the disruption witnessed nowadays is due to the shift from the industrial age to the information age and it is characterized by organizational forms (Grint 2007). From the theory, new methods of productionare being employed and the customer is becoming a vital aspect of the manufacturing process due to the unacceptance of low-quality goods and services (Grint 2007). Presently, the focus has shifted to the customers and products are produced based on their preferences. The change is aimed at building systems that change businesses processes. According to Allen and Shakantu (2007), there is a shift in the construction industry to the implementation of modern practices adopted in the retail sectors. This theory affirms the theory of economic development mentioned earlier with regards to the adoption of new innovative practices to withstand competition and not be eliminated based on Darwin’s theory. Theory of Disruptive Innovation
Business Information Modelling 4The theory defines the disruption attributed to innovations. In the theory, Christensen describes these innovations as chaotic because they change the accepted practices in business and create new products (Kanjanabootra 2017). In particular, it creates a new market and eliminates the leading organizations in the industry. According to Kanjanabootra (2017), those who criticize its claims argue that the disruption defined in the theory is uncommon and the theory does not explicitly describe what happens with the organization. Therefore, Sampere (2017) categorized disruption into three types. The first type is the one described by Christensen.The competitors accept the second type of disruptors. The third type of disruptors are the ones that competitors do not react to due to its competitive advantage. In the construction industry, thedisruptors are BIM and Offsite manufacturing (Kanjanabootra 2017). Kanjanabootra (2017), notes that BIM adoption has been slow because the stakeholders resist change. This theory affirms Schumpeter’s theory of economic development.Empirical StudiesOver the years, industries (such as aerospace) have adopted technological innovation to improve efficiency. In particular, Advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) and automation systems are widely in use (Ding, Wei & Che 2014). The use of automation in the construction industry has been slow (Ding, Wei & Che 2014; Son et al 2010). According to Ding, Wei, and Che (2014), the slow adoption of automation is attributed to the unsuitability of automation in large construction projects and high expenses incurred in the process. Similarly, Son et al. (2010)state that the construction industry was reluctant to use automation and robotics due to the high initial cost. Ding, Wei, and Che (2014) proposed the use of additive manufacturing in the construction industry because it can be used in large scale.
