Al-Yahya, Moath (2017) Construction organisations' readiness for electronic tendering: Saudi Arabian experience. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This research investigated the issues behind the slow intake of electronic tendering in construction. The study found that organisations are not ready for certain aspects that affect their readiness for electronic tendering. The researchers developed model includes a new hypothesis that could improve the organisation's readiness. The model has been empirically tested in Saudi Arabia. The results confirm that the hypothesis has the most important effect on the organisation readiness toward the uptake of electronic tendering.

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
