Abstract
Identifies need to establish a quantitative method to measure performance of construction it systems and indentifies measurement indicators. The author discusses the difficulties and challenges involved in establishing a quantitative method to measure the performance of information technology (IT) systems and concludes that because each construction organization has its unique circumstances for prioritizing indicators, it is difficult to provide a single formula to deal with the evaluation of all construction IT systems. Research is currently in progress to empirically validate the indicators and their surrogates defined in the paper.

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
