Li, H (1996) The role of IT manager in construction process re-engineering. Building Research & Information, 24(2), pp. 124-127. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
The relationship between construction managers and the information technology manager is analysed and the challenges confronting the IT manager during re-engineering are presented. This paper argues that the benefits from IT deployment would be marginal if only superimposed on an existing construction process. Instead, the process should be redesigned and composed to maximize the use of modern IT techniques.

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
