Abstract:
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has seen a significant rise in the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the last few years. BIM software have launched with numerous robust capabilities and features to satisfy the ever-demanding needs of the AEC industry. Various factors are associated with the selection of BIM software depending on a company’s requirements and constraints. BIM software selection is a daunting process as most AEC industries are unaware of the factors to consider when making this important decision. This study focuses on identifying the critical success factors (CSFs) and their interrelationship for efficient BIM software selection. For this research, a questionnaire was developed and disseminated in two stages in India, the United States of America (U.S.A.), Germany, and the United Kingdom (U.K.). In the first stage, a total of twenty-six identified CSFs were analyzed with the factor comparison method (FCM) to identify the top fifteen CSFs. Subsequently, the identified top fifteen CSFs were further assessed by implementing Fuzzy DEMATEL to categorize them into cause-and-effect groups based on respective influence strength, depicted with a causal diagram. Out of fifteen CSFs, five and ten factors were grouped into the cause group and effect group for BIM software selection, respectively. The most important factors were identified as software functionality, BIM adoption strategies and processes, interoperability, staff competencies, BIM standards and regional regulations. The outcome of this research can help BIM user companies improve their BIM software selection framework and decision-making process during purchasing software.

Abstract:
This study considered the extent of use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry (AEC) in Nigeria. The factors influencing the level of adoption of BIM and the barriers to the adoption of BIM in the AEC industry in Nigeria was investigated. The data collection technique used was the survey method, which involved the administration of structured questionnaires to 100 professionals in the AEC industry in Nigeria in the three main cities of Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The result shows that most professionals in the AEC Industry are aware of the use of BIM in the AEC Industry and a lot of professionals have also engaged in the use of BIM tools. It also shows that the BIM tools are mostly used for activities in the design stage such as design, visualization and drafting but, are least used for maintenance activities. The major barriers to the adoption of BIM in the AEC Industry in the study include, lack of training and education on BIM use, technical challenges associated with adoption of BIM, the complicated nature and processes involved in BIM use, inadequate government support for BIM use in the AEC Industry and general resistance to change by people in the AEC Industry. The study recommends that in order to achieve critical mass adoption of BIM and its benefits maximized in the AEC Industry in Nigeria there is a need for sensitization on the benefits of BIM and training of students and professionals in the industry on the use of BIM.

Abstract:
Digital technologies (DTs) are proven helpful in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry due to their varied benefits to project stakeholders, such as enhanced visualization, better data sharing, reduction in building waste, increased productivity, sustainable performance and safety improvement. Therefore, researchers have conducted various studies on DTs in the AEC industry over the year; however, this study explores the state-of-the-art research on DTs in the AEC industry by means of a bibliometric-qualitative review method. This research would uncover new knowledge gaps and practical needs in the domain of DTs in the AEC industry. In addition, bibliometric analysis was carried out by utilizing academic publications from Scopus (i.e., 11,047 publications for the AEC industry, 1956 for DTs and 1778 for DTs in the AEC industry). Furthermore, a qualitative review was further conducted on 200 screened selected research publications in the domain of DTs. This study brings attention to the body of knowledge by envisioning trends and patterns by defining key research interests, journals, countries, new advancements, challenges, negative attitudes and future directions towards DTs in the AEC industry. However, this study is the first in its vital importance and uniqueness by providing a broad updated review of DTs in the AEC literature. Furthermore, this research laid a foundation for future researchers, policy makers and practitioners to explore the limitations in future research.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to explore the current condition of the Big Data concept with its related barriers, drivers, opportunities and perceptions in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry with an emphasis on facilities management (FM). Design/methodology/approach Following a comprehensive literature review, the Big Data concept was investigated through two scoping workshops with industry experts and academics. Findings The value in data analytics and Big Data is perceived by the industry, yet the industry needs guidance and leadership. Also, the industry recognises the imbalance between data capturing and data analytics. Large IT vendors’ developing AEC industry-focused analytics solutions and better interoperability among different vendors are needed. The general concerns for Big Data analytics mostly apply to the AEC industry as well. Additionally, however, the industry suffers from a structural fragmentation for data integration with many small-sized companies operating in its supply chains. This paper also identifies a number of drivers, challenges and way-forwards that calls for future actions for Big Data in FM in the AEC industry. Originality/value The nature of data in the business world has dramatically changed over the past 20 years. This phenomenon is often broadly dubbed as “Big Data” with its distinctive characteristics, opportunities and challenges. Some industries have already started to effectively exploit “Big Data” in their business operations. However, despite many perceived benefits, the AEC industry has been slow in discussing and adopting the Big Data concept. Empirical research efforts investigating Big Data for the AEC industry are also scarce. This paper aims at outlining the benefits, challenges and future directions (what to do) for Big Data in the AEC industry with an FM focus.

Abstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual reality (VR) have attracted growing attention within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry in recent years. Integration of BIM and VR technology can develop workflow efficiency through enhanced common understanding and prepare students in architecture and engineering programs to become leaders of the AEC industry. However, the current shortage of AEC professionals trained in BIM and VR is still a barrier to collaborative working practice in this industry. This paper reviews previous work on the BIM, VR, and BIM-into-VR in AEC education/training to bridge this gap. It also presents an advanced framework to clarify creating and using the BIM model into VR workflow in the AEC industry through the integrated definition function (IDEF0) model. The authors further evaluated the BIM-into-VR applications in literature and real-life by surveying students’ learning performance in terms of eight characteristics relevant to the VR environment and students’ performance within two projects, one involving the “NASA Mars Habitat Project” and the other involving the “Norris Center Project” at Northwestern University. The results confirmed that BIM-into-VR usability and efficiency in improving students’ main learning performance characteristics: Learnability, Interoperability, Visualization, Real-world, Interaction, Creativity, Motivation, and Comfort. This study addresses the advantages of using BIM-into-VR in AEC programs. It also offers suggestions to AEC educators and students in implementing BIM-into-VR in different courses and creating a roadmap for their future as professionals in the AEC industry.

Abstract:
AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industries are in the process of paradigm shift on the performance of practice, particularly in the fields of architects, consulting engineers such as structural engineers for structural BIM, civil engineers, MEP engineers, and contractors led by Building Information Modeling (BIM). Overall adoption of BIM in the AEC industries of North America has increased from 17% in 2007 to 71% in 2012 which is over 400% growth over last 5 years. This study analyzes and examines the BIM adoption status of AEC industry in the world including the North America and in the R.O. Korea through the literature survey. This study also examines how academic community is preparing for the drastic cultural change of work process in the construction industry due to BIM adoption in the foreign and domestic AEC industry. This paper presents the case study of BIM education including Capstone Design in the R.O. Korea. This study is to propose that academia needs to establish the appropriate educational curriculum and implementation to enhance, improve and research the state of art BIM technology together with AEC industry.

Abstract:
Health and safety during construction remains a worldwide challenge that the construction industry is facing. The German construction industry recorded an average of 110,000 accidents per year in the period of 2010 to 2019. A discernible trend toward a decrease in occupational accidents is not visible. In this context, traditional safety planning does not seem to be able to guarantee sufficient health and safety during construction. In line with the BIM Roadmap published by the German Ministry of Transport in 2015, it can be recognized that Building Information Modeling (BIM) is supposed to be increasingly used in upcoming years. This paper aims to identify how BIM could positively impact Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) during construction. Therefore, a thesis procedure, combining quantitative and qualitative research with an in depth literature review is introduced. This study reveals a high added value of using BIM for (1) safety rule checking and design validation and (2) safety education, training and communication. BIM as a decision supporting tool has the potential to reduce the underestimation of safety hazards and improve safety reporting, which have been identified as current vulnerabilities in the construction industry. Furthermore, an added benefit to sustainability following the concept of Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD) is illustrated. In practice, however, BIM for OSH remains unused, while those working with BIM are not familiar with safety planning. This study indicates that in order to fully utilize the potential of BIM, intuitiveness and standardization is required, while those implementing BIM and those using BIM need to be aware of and willing to exploit the potential of new technologies. The challenge now is to recognize the potential of BIM in relation to OHS and to actively use BIM for health and safety purposes.
Att skapa en säker arbetsmiljö på byggarbetsplatsen är fortfarande en global utmaning för byggbranschen. I den tyska byggbranschen inträffade till exempel i genomsnitt 110 000 olyckor per år under perioden 2010-2019 och det syns ingen märkbar minskning. I detta sammanhang verkar traditionell säkerhetsplanering inte kunna garantera tillräcklig hälsa och säkerhet under byggandet. I samband med den strategiska BIM-implementeringsplanen som publicerades av det tyska transportministeriet 2015 ska Building Information Modeling (BIM) användas i allt större utsträckning under de kommande åren. Syftet med den här artikeln är att identifiera hur BIM skulle kunna ha en positiv inverkan på arbetsmiljö och säkerhet (OHS) på byggarbetsplatsen. Studien kombinerar kvantitativ och kvalitativ forskning med en djupgående litteraturgenomgång. Resultatet visar att det finns ett stort mervärde i att använda BIM för (1) kontroll av säkerhetsregler och validering av konstruktionen och (2) utbildning, träning och kommunikation om säkerhet. BIM som beslutsstöd kan möjliggöra en mer realistisk bedömning av säkerhetsrisker och förbättra säkerhetsrapporteringen, vilket har identifierats som aktuella sårbarheter i byggbranschen. Det finns också fördelar med att implementera konceptet Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD). I praktiken är dock BIM för arbetsmiljöfrågor fortfarande oanvänd, samtidigt som de som arbetar med BIM inte är tillräckligt bekanta med säkerhetsaspekter. För att BIM:s potential ska kunna utnyttjas fullt ut krävs en ökad användarvänlighet och standardisering av verktygen. Samtidigt måste de som implementerar och använder BIM vara medvetna om och villiga att utnyttja den nya teknikens potential. Utmaningen är nu att förstå potentialen av BIM för arbetsmiljöaspekter och att proaktivt använda BIM för att öka säkerheten på byggarbetsplatser.

Abstract:
The Architecture, Engineering & Construction industry (AEC) is considered one of the largest sectors worldwide and complexed due to the complexity and uniqueness of construction projects. In contradiction to other industries, AEC illustrates high fragmentation, resistance to change, and significantly lower adoption rate of new technology solutions than other industries. The highly disruptive nature of the upcoming technological revolution of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the AEC sector and the need for effective implementation of technological innovations is reified in the concept of Construction 4.0. The technological wave that is expected to arise with the 4IR may subsequently entail both opportunities and threats in technological, organizational, individual, societal and sustainability perspectives. This thesis focuses on two major steps. The first step is the assessment of the AEC industry towards the successful implementation of 4IR in the industry. The second step is dedicated to a horizontal and vertical integration of Construction 4.0 contemplating the social perspective of technology. Qualitative research methods such as literature review and interviews using the PESTELE framework have been applied to gather data that will be analyzed with TOE and Social Construction of Technology Theory (SCOT). This study has realized the necessity to develop a comprehensive approach of the AEC industry based on the societal structure and identified the need for horizontal and vertical assessment of the involved social and professional groups.
Arkitektur, teknik, och byggindustrin (AEC) anses vara en av de största sektorerna världen över och komplexa på grund av byggprojektens komplexitet och unikhet. I motsats till andra industrier illustrerar AEC hög fragmentering, motståndskraft mot förändringar och betydligt lägre antagande av nya teknologilösningar än andra industrier. Den mycket störande karaktären hos den kommande tekniska revolutionen i den fjärde industriella revolutionen (4IR) i AEC sektorn och behovet av ett effektivt genomförande av tekniska innovationer förnyas i begreppet Construction 4.0. Den tekniska vågen som förväntas uppstå med 4IR kan därefter innebära både möjligheter och hot i tekniska, organisatoriska, individuella, samhälleliga och hållbarhetsperspektiv. Denna avhandling fokuserar på två huvudsteg. Det första steget är bedömningen av AEC-industrin mot ett framgångsrikt genomförande av 4IR i branschen. Det andra steget är tillägnad en horisontell och vertikal integration av Construction 4.0 som överväger teknikens sociala perspektiv. Kvalitativa forskningsmetoder som litteraturgranskning och intervjuer med PESTELE ramverket har tillämpats för att samla in data som kommer att analyseras med TOE och Social Construction of Technology Theory (SCOT). Denna studie har insett behovet av att utveckla ett omfattande tillvägagångssätt för AEC-industrin baserat på samhällsstrukturen och identifierat behovet av horisontell och vertikal bedömning av de involverade sociala och yrkesgrupperna.

Abstract:
The Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is often described as fragmented, highly complex and risk-oriented with major challenges due to the high level of conflicts and low level of productivity. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is claimed to be the future of the AEC industry and is a way to address these issues. A BIM model can be used in all the phases of a facility's life cycle and can result in better quality at lower cost and reduced time-consumption. However, there are not just benefits with BIM but also risks and problems, which can be hard to manage and prevent the adoption of BIM. Several of the risks and problems are connected to legal issues.  This thesis consists of a qualitative research study that explores the current situation of the legal challenges with BIM, which companies are facing in their construction projects in the Swedish AEC industry. The study intends to develop an understanding of the legal problems that hinders the adoption of BIM and how these problems can be minimized. Semi-structured interviews were held with ten respondents in different companies in Sweden to get an understanding of the legal issues with BIM in their construction projects. The result of the interviews showed that the major legal issue with BIM is the capability to define the model as a legal act and rank the model higher than drawings in a contract. In addition, it was found that the difficulty to review that the model is sufficiently correct and reliable is also something that companies see as a hinder for the full adoption of BIM. Therefore, companies still often prefer to have the drawings as a legal act rather than models.
Arkitektur-, ingenjörs- och byggindustrin beskrivs ofta som splittrad, mycket komplex och riskorienterad med stora utmaningar på grund av mycket konflikter och låg produktivitet. Det hävdas att byggnadsinformationsmodellering (BIM) är industrins framtid och ett sätt att ta itu med dessa problem. En BIM-modell kan användas i alla faser av en anläggnings livscykel och kan resultera i bättre kvalitet till en lägre kostnad och minskad tidsåtgång. Dock finns det inte bara fördelar med BIM utan även risker och problem som kan vara svåra att hantera och som förhindrar införandet av BIM. Flera av riskerna och problemen är kopplade till juridiska frågor. Detta examensarbete består av en kvalitativ forskningsstudie som undersöker den nuvarande situationen för de juridiska utmaningarna med BIM som företagen står inför i sina byggprojekt i den svenska byggindustrin. Studien avser att utveckla en förståelse för de juridiska problem som förhindrar införandet av BIM och hur dessa problem kan minimeras. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer hölls med tio respondenter i olika företag i Sverige för att få en förståelse för de juridiska problemen med BIM i byggprojekt. Resultatet av intervjuerna visade att det stora juridiska problemet med BIM är svårigheten med att definiera modellen som en juridisk handling och rangordna modellen högre än ritningar i ett kontrakt. Dessutom fann man att svårigheten med att granska att en modell är tillräckligt korrekt och tillförlitlig är något som företag ser som ett hinder för BIM:s fullständiga införande. Därför föredrar de flesta företag att fortfarande ha ritningarna som juridisk handling och inte modellerna.

Abstract:
Project planning in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry at present relies heavily on individual skills, experience and improvisation. In an attempt to increase predictability and efficiency, and to improve knowledge retention across projects, this thesis proposes a more systematic approach to project planning. It does so by introducing the notion of a meta-process model that embodies and cultivates the logic and intelligence of incremental and collaborative planning activities in a given domain. Planning tasks are encoded and enforced as a set of structured dialogues between project partners. To make this possible, a taxonomy extension to current workflow modeling technology is introduced. The concept of the chosen approach can thus be classified as process mediation through structured dialogues. It is applied to the particular example case of Design-Build project delivery for which a detailed workflow model was created. This model serves as a partial instantiation of the larger Project Management Body Of Knowledge, an abstract framework put forward by the US Project Management Institute. A prototype system architecture is devised as an extension to an existing collaborative virtual environment developed in the European e-HUBs research project. This experimental Web-based platform supports the enactment of workflows that are expressed in the standardized syntax of the neutral process definition language XPDL. The functional richness of the structured dialogue extensions is demonstrated through a dialogue management prototype developed as a separate MS Access database application.

Abstract:
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality is on a trend of development. These technologies could have an impact on the way construction is carried out in the future. Right now these technologies are not widely used in the construction industry. What this report aims to understand is how the Swedish construction industry adheres to the current trend of digitalization, with an emphasis on Augmented- and Virtual Reality. By interviewing 13 managers within 8 different AEC organizations, in the form of semi-structured interviews, it was found that these technologies are indeed viewed as something that could change the way these organizations work. The current literature provides examples of how Augmented- and Virtual Reality can be used. However, these technologies are not mature enough to make an impact right now, as most managers see the technology as too expensive and they also had little to no knowledge of its contributions. The case was also the same with BIM, where a lack of knowledge seems to be the norm for all sorts of positions within the construction industry, from worker to manager. This is in accordance with previous studies and the interview findings. A lack of demand from clients and outdated work routines also affect adoption of BIM, Augmented- and Virtual Reality.
Augmented Reality och Virtual Reality befinner sig just nu vid ett utvecklingsstadie. Denna teknik kan påverka hur konstruktion genomförs i framtiden. Just nu används dessa tekniker inte i någon stor utsträckning inom byggindustrin. Syftet med denna uppsats är att förstå hur den svenska byggbranschen förhåller sig till den nuvarande trenden av digitalisering, med fokus på Augmented- och Virtual Reality. Genom att intervjua 13 chefer och projektledare inom 8 olika AEC-organisationer, i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer, konstaterades det att dessa teknologier ses som någonting som kan förändra hur dessa organisationer arbetar. Den nuvarande litteraturen ger exempel på hur Augmented- och Virtual Reality kan användas. Dock har det visat sig att dessa teknologier inte är tillräckligt mogna för att ha en påverkan just nu eftersom de flesta chefer och projektledare såg tekniken som för kostsam, de hade också liten eller ingen kunskap om dess potentiella bidrag. Detsamma gällde BIM, där en brist på kunskap fortfarande verkar vara normen för alla typer av tjänster inom byggbranschen, från arbetare till chef. Detta stämmer överens med tidigare studier och intervjuresultaten. Brist på efterfrågan från kunder samt gamla rutiner påverkar också adoptionen av BIM, Augmented- och Virtual Reality.

Abstract:
The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is passive in employing innovative technologies and conducting change efforts. As a result, numerous companies in the AEC industry do not exploit many of the benefits, which otherwise can be achieved with digital innovations. When engaging with digital innovations, it is suggested to understand and verify the organizational capabilities of implementing new technologies instead of merely the capacity of the latest technologies considered. It is essential for organizations that go digital, to recognize a need for digital change while identifying the organizational obstacles that potentially can obstruct their change attempts. Hence, activities related to promoting and adopting new, innovative technologies are in practice concerned with change efforts, and challenges regarding how to implement and influence individuals to embrace them, thus making the best use of a considered digital tool. This research thesis explores how consultancy companies in the AEC industry are coping with the adoption and implemention of digital innovations. By taking the consultancy firm’s perspective, the thesis identifies, analyzes and addresses the main organizational obstacles that hinder digital adoption within the AEC industry. Methodologically, this research thesis builds on a qualitative single case study approach, seeking to achieve an understanding and analytical capability instead of a generalization. The qualitative means used involve 13 semi-structured interviews with employees at a Case Company as well as external experts working with digitalization and change management. Besides, through a literature review, the thesis compares and analyzes the findings from the interviews and how they are interrelated to existing literature regarding implementing digital innovations. The empirical results indicate that a main obstacle for implementing digital innovations at consultancy firms in the AEC industry is related to an inadequately articulated and mediated vision regarding the digital transformation process and the change required. The results show that the initiated and planned change projects are not systematically shared and communicated among the Case Company’s teams, and individuals alike. So, the practices for how the employees appropriately can proceed with an idea related to digital innovation are not widely understood nor shared. Accordingly, there is a lack of knowledge among managers and employees on why they should engage in digital change projects and how this can be done appropriately. Lastly, there is also a lack of time as well as financial and personal incentives allocated towards working with digital change. This research thesis emphasizes that an organizational vision, strategy, and procedures must be realized and mediated to all teams and individuals who are involved or affected by a digital change to address these obstacles. Managers and leaders need to foster the creation of change readiness required for the digital transformation process. This involves providing coworkers with sufficient prerequisites, mediating the change process and helping them to embrace it. For example, a) by explaining the benefits and the need for change, b) communicating and systematically informing the teams and individuals with the opportunities to develop necessary competences, and c) by offering guidance and managerial support. Still, it is essential to continuously evaluate change efforts to ensure that their outcome is valuable, instead of merely convincing individuals about the necessity of conducting a change.
Arkitektur, Ingenjör och Konstruktion (AEC) industrin beskrivs som passiv gällande att använda innovativ teknik och genomföra digital förändring. Därmed är det många företag inom AEC industrin som inte utnyttjar de fördelar som annars hade kunnat uppnås med digitala innovationer. När ett företag arbetar med digitala innovationer föreslås att man förstår och verifierar de organisatoriska kapaciteterna för att implementera en ny teknik istället för bara kapaciteten för den senaste teknologin som beaktas. För organisationer som strävar efter att bli digitalt adoptiva är det viktigt att urskilja ett behov om digital förändring och samtidigt identifiera de organisatoriska utmaningarna som potentiellt kan hindra deras förändringsförsök. När en verksamhet eftersträvar att främja och anta nya innovativa tekniker, så är det i praktiken ofta utmanande att influera individer att omfamna förändringen som dessa teknologier medför, och därmed utnyttja ett betraktat digitalt verktyg bäst. Denna forskningsuppsats undersöker hur konsultföretag i AEC-industrin klarar av implementeringen av digitala innovationer. Genom att ta ett konsultföretags perspektiv identifierar, analyserar och besvarar denna forskningsuppsats de viktigaste organisatoriska utmaningarna som hindrar digital adoption inom AEC-industrin. Forskningsmetoden bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie som syftar till att uppnå en förståelse och analytisk förmåga istället för en generalisering. De kvalitativa medel som används involverar 13 semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda på ett Case-företag samt externa experter som arbetar med digitalisering och förändringshantering. Genom att också utföra en litteraturstudie jämförs och analyseras resultaten från intervjuerna, samt hur de är relaterade till befintlig litteratur gällande implementering av digital innovation. Resultat visar att ett huvudhinder för att implementera digitala innovationer, för konsultföretag inom AEC-industrin, är en otillräckligt artikulerad och förmedlad vision om den digitala transformationsprocessen och den förändring som krävs. Planerade och påbörjade förändringsprojekt delas och kommuniceras inte heller systematiskt mellan Case-företagets teams och individer. Dessutom förstås eller delas inte metoderna för hur de anställda på ett lämpligt sätt kan gå vidare med en idé relaterad till digital innovation. Följaktligen saknas kunskap bland chefer och anställda om varför de ska engagera sig i digitala förändringsprojekt och hur detta kan göras på ett lämpligt sätt. Det saknas också tid såväl som ekonomiska och personliga incitament för att arbeta med digital förändring. För att hantera dessa hinder betonar denna forskningsuppsats att en organisatorisk vision, strategi och tillvägagångssätt måste realiseras och tydligt förmedlas till alla teams och individer som är involverade eller påverkade av en digital förändring. Chefer och ledare måste främja skapandet av en förändringsberedskap som krävs för den digitala transformationsprocessen. Detta involverar att ge kollegor tillräckliga förutsättningar, förmedla förändringsprocessen och hjälpa dem omfamna den. Till exempel, a) genom att förklara fördelarna och behovet av förändring, b) kommunicera och systematiskt informera teams och individer om möjligheterna för att utveckla nödvändiga kompetenser, c) genom att erbjuda vägledning och ledarstöd. Det är dock fortfarande viktigt att kontinuerligt utvärdera förändringsinsatser för att se till att deras resultat är värdefulla, istället för att endast övertyga individer om nödvändigheten av att genomföra en förändring.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In undertaking this research on strategy at work, several key issues emerged and shaped its course. Firstly, it was essential to understand what strategy is about. Since the humble beginnings of strategic management in the world of business, there has been confusion about its definition and basic elements. The number of definitions, of varying usefulness, is almost as infinite as the number of authors in this field. This study therefore attempts to pinpoint the commonly agreed upon underlying elements of strategy. Secondly, the use of strategy and the benefits accruing to the corporate world were of interest. An investigation into the use of strategy and its effect on performance was carried out by means of a survey among German companies in the machine and plant manufacturing industry. Finally, data gathered were analysed to prove the existence of a relationship between the use of strategy and corporate performance. This task was done by means of non-empirical as well as empirical study. The non-empirical study was undertaken as a literature review, and set out to investigate the basic principles of strategy in order to establish a common definition regarding the elements of strategy. On the other hand, the empirical study took place in the form of a survey, collecting primary data on the matter. From the literature review it was concluded that strategy can be defined by means of five elements, namely plan, ploy, pattern, perspective and position. While the first three elements are related more to the 'how' of strategy, by asking in which form they can be seen, the latter two tell more about the 'what' of strategy, by clarifying the content. In addition to the elements of strategy, it was established that, for the purpose of this study, corporate performance can be described by using four indicators, namely growth, market share, return on equity and innovation. In the subsequent survey, companies were requested to respond to a questionnaire regarding these five elements, as well as the four indicators of their performance. Close analysis showed that companies did indeed utilise one or more elements of strategy. It is noteworthy that only two companies reported that they did not make use of strategy at all. More significant is the finding that there is a small positive relationship between the use of elements of strategy and performance. In summing up, it can be said that companies indeed utilise elements of strategy. Furthermore, it can be concluded that companies using more elements of strategy may do better than companies using fewer elements, since there is a small positive relationship between the number of elements used and performance.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie navorsingsprojek oor Strategy at Work (Strategie in Werking) het verskeie sleutelaangeleenthede, wat die verloop daarvan gevorm het, opgeduik. Eerstens was dit noodsaaklik om begrip te hê waaroor strategie handel. Sedert die nederige ontstaan van strategiese bestuur in die sakewêreld, heers daar verwarring oor sy basiese elemente en 'n definisie daarvoor. Die aantal definisies - van afwisselende nuttigheid - is bykans so ontelbaar soos die hoeveelheid skrywers in hierdie veld. Derhalwe probeer hierdie studie die algemeen erkende en onderliggende elemente van strategie haarfyn aanwys. Tweedens was die aanwending van strategie en die voordele wat gevolglik vir die korporatiewe wêreld aangroei van belang. 'n Ondersoek na die aanwending van stategie en dié se uitwerking op prestasie is uitgevoer deur middel van 'n opname onder Duitse maatskappye in die masjien- en aanlegvervaardigingsnywerheid. Ten slotte is versamelde gegewens geanaliseer om die bestaan van 'n verband tussen die aanwending van strategie en korporatiewe prestasie te bewys. Hierdie taak is deur middel van nie-empiriese sowel as empiriese studie uitgevoer. Die nie-empiriese studie is as 'n literêre oorsig uitgevoer en het 'n ondersoek na die basiese beginsels van strategie behels - met die skep van 'n algemene definisie betreffende die elemente van strategie as oogmerk. Daarenteen het die empiriese studie die vorm aangeneem van 'n opname waartydens vername gegewens oor die aangeleentheid versamel is. Uit die literêre oorsig is die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat strategie deur middel van vyf elemente, naamlik plan, metode, patroon, perspektief en posisie, gedefinieer kan word. Waar eersvermelde drie elemente meer verband hou met die "hoe" van strategie deur te vra in watter vorm dit gesien kan word, gaan dit by die oorblywende twee meer oor die "wat" van strategie deur die inhoud te verhelder. Benewens die elemente van strategie is daar vasgestel dat vir die doel van hierdie studie korporatiewe prestasie beskryf kan word deur die aanwending van vier aanwysers, naamlik groei, markaandeel, rendement van ekwiteit en innovasie. In die daaropvolgende opname is maatskappye versoek om te reageer op 'n vraelys oor hierdie vyf elemente, asook die vier aanwysers rakende hulle prestasie. Noukeurige analise het getoon dat maatskappye inderdaad een of meer elemente van strategie aangewend het. Dit is meldenswaardig dat net twee maatskappye aangedui het dat hulle geensins van strategie gebruik gemaak het nie. En meer betekenisvol is die bevinding dat daar 'n geringe, positiewe verwantskap is tussen die aanwending van elemente van strategie en prestasie. Opsommenderwys kan aangevoer word dat maatskappye inderdaad elemente van stategie aanwend. Vervolgens kan die afleiding gemaak word dat maatskappye, wat meer elemente van strategie toepas, nog beter vaar as maatskappye wat minder elemente aanwend aangesien daar 'n klein, positiewe verband tussen die aantal elemente wat aangewend word en prestasie bestaan.

Abstract:
The safety and reliability of all systems has to be maintained throughout the lifetime of a nuclear power plant. Continuous R&D work is needed in targeted areas to meet the challenges of long term operation of existing designs and for the GEN-III designs. A special focus is placed on reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) components, because its integrity and functionality from the time of first operation until end of life is required to ensure plant safety. The overall objective of STYLE is to assess, optimize and develop the use of advanced tools for the structural integrity assessment of RCPB components relevant to ageing and life time management and to support the integration of the knowledge created in the project into mainstream nuclear industry assessment codes. The project concept is based on carefully selected research topics, which thematically cover the complex multidisciplinary character of structural assessment of RCPB components. The prioritization of the work reflects the needs of industrial end-users and assessment of currently available techniques and data at European and international level. This paper describes the current status of the project STYLE and summarizes its main results achieved up to date (Feb 2013).

Abstract:
This working paper presents first insights on lay public perceptions of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches. In seven focus groups, three in Germany and four in Norway (including one pilot) the researchers asked members of the lay public to share their views of the ocean and the effects of climate change, four CDR approaches, as well as their reflections on responsible research and innovation (RRI) of marine CDR. The four CDR methods were ocean iron fertilization, ocean alkalinity enhancement, artificial upwelling, and blue carbon management through restoration of coastal and marine ecosystems. In addition, respondents were asked to compare the four approaches. Our findings indicate that the public will be very supportive of blue carbon management irrespective of its actual carbon sequestration potential, due in part to the perceived bad state of marine ecosystems worldwide. Participants were skeptical whether any of the CDR approaches could have relevant effect on carbon sequestration and long-term storage; they reasoned about issues such as the ability to scale up treatments in time and space, unforeseen or unforeseeable effects on ecosystems in time and space, and the role of industry in the implementation process. They argued that despite the potential availability of marine CDR, industry and the general public should stop polluting behaviors and practices. Nevertheless, the participants universally agreed that further research on all four CDR methods should be pursued to better understand effects on climate, ecosystems, local communities, and the economy.
