Abstract

Most architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) companies acknowledge the connection between the processes used to develop business strategy and the outcome of that strategy. Until now, however, a framework representing the actual strategic decision-making process has not existed. Four decision factors -impetus, risk, timing, and technology - developed in this investigation provide a useful vehicle for understanding the strategic decision-making process and help to create a knowledge base of strategic issues within the AEC industry. The overall finding is that strategic decisions spring from many sources external to formal planning and that the strategy formation process is not linear. The research also identifies several ways for AEC firms to increase the effective use of CAD/CIE.
