Pereira, Lucas Melchiori (2019) The organizational influence on design quality of built environment. PhD thesis, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
Abstract
The demand for higher levels of built-environment quality requires from Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation sector (AECO) to increase the efficiency and effectiveness wherewith the projects create and manage value for customers, business and society. The development of knowledge, processes, practices and tools to promote these objectives, however, require an organizational condition appropriate for successful implementation. For this purpose, providing support to identify, design, implement, and monitor the organizational changes is a central point towards capacitating the projects to achieve the expected quality. The theoretical and methodological approach to promote more efficient and effective project organizations started with a Systematic Review of Literature which has identified a theorical frame from the organizations related to projects, isomorphism, congruence and organizational architecture, etc. From this theoretical framework a set of studies oriented to the Design Science Research (DSR) method was organized, supporting the development and simulation of an appropriate organizational architecture towards creating design value in real estate projects. Presents the theoretical implications of the design organization findings, specifically related to the approached organizational type and other organization forms from AECO, establishing the organizational isomorphism relationships and pointing the Multi-firm network organization as a more congruent alternative to the design practices associated with the creating value, as the autonomy to collaborate, information flow and value management, BIM, etc. The investigation contributions are relevant to AECO research and management, by establishing a methodological and instrumental basis to the organizational architecture by mapping the congruence among system, process and organization of real estate projects, associated with implementation guidelines and the context of organizational change spreading in the sector.

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
