- Abstract:
Construction industry professionals in Indonesia are accustomed to intense price competition and focused on the bottom line. They have difficulty in justifying investments in advanced technology. Both researchers and industry professionals need improved analysis tools and understanding of how technology affects results. This current study sought an answer the question of how technology strategy affects technology transfer and competitive performance in the Indonesian construction industry. A technology strategy framework based on the literature was used in this research to evaluate technology strategy of Indonesian construction firms. Five dimensions of the technology strategy, i.e., competitive positioning, sourcing of technology, scope of technology strategy, depth of technology strategy, and organizational fit were investigated. In this study both qualitative and quantitative research were involved. Fifteen Indonesian construction contractors with head offices located in Jakarta were included in the sample, consisting of both “internationally linked” and “domestic based” firms. Results indicated that there was statistically significant relationship between technology strategy and inbound technology transfer. The study also found that technology strategy had a significant direct relationship with competitive performance for both internationally linked as well as domestic based firms of the construction industry. More over this study also found that technology transfer had a significant direct relationship with competitive performance for both internationally linked as well as domestic based firms of the construction industry. The findings of the study provide a basis for future investigation and understanding of technology strategy. Industry professionals can use these results to better define priorities and evaluate alternative approaches to adopting technology to business performance. Finally, this investigation provides a foundation for future investigation of advancing construction technology strategy and transfer.
