Hogg, K (2000) The impact of information sequence in the construction domain. In: Akintoye, A (ed.) Proceedings of 16th Annual ARCOM Conference, 6-8 September 2000, Glasgow, UK.
Abstract
The decision making process that occurs during property development and construction related activities might have a significant impact upon value and therefore, client satisfaction. One key aspect of this process may be the sequence in which information is evaluated by the decision taker. An exploratory research methodology has been developed and is used to collect empirical data in order to support the hypothesis that information sequence will impact upon the decision making process that occurs during construction design. The paper contains an analysis of data collected and an appraisal of the findings that indicate the existence of order effects within the context of the construction design process. In addition, consideration is given to the way in which information sequence may impact upon the decision making process in several other possible areas of development and construction related application. Aspects of the development and construction process that are identified include Construction Design, Facilities Management and Risk Management. The discussion in the paper builds upon previous work by the author (Hogg 1999), which supported the case for early intervention in the design process to mitigate against the possible negative effects on value due to the unintentional influence of the order effect.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
