A Study on Evaluation of Influencing Factors for Sustainable Development of Smart Construction Enterprises: Case Study from China

Abstract

Smart construction enterprises are the key subjects in the development and practical transformation of smart building technology, and their sustainable development has been a hot research topic in the new era. In the context of the new round of technology and industrial revolution, the rapid accumulation of development uncertainties and their possible transformation into risks at any time, as well as the ambiguity of growth mechanisms and the loss of strategies, have become major challenges that may constrain the development and strategic management of enterprises. Based on SWOT, BCG, GE, QSPM and principal component analysis methods, this paper constructs a new framework combining theory and practice organically for quantitative identification and evaluation of influencing factors, and analysis of strategy selection and the decision-making process. It will provide a scientific basis for sustainable development and strategic management of smart construction enterprises. DK Company is a typical smart building enterprise in China, and the results of its empirical study show that: Firstly, the 28 variable elements influencing the sustainable development of smart construction enterprises can be summarized into six key factors, with significant differences in their influence, and the external influence far greater than the internal driving force. Secondly, a priority set of six alternatives for strategic decision-making and implementation is proposed, based on the quantitative strategy selection and matching analysis, which improves the accuracy and practicality of the study findings.

A study of the influence of sports venues on the intra-city population layout based on multi-source data—Taking Xi’an city and Zhengzhou city as examples

“…From the results, it is clear that, in general, the increase in sports venues per unit area can attract an increase in population size. Synthesizing previous studies [ 34 – 36 ], sports venues, as the spatial carrier of diversified sports industries, are the foundation and pioneer industries for the development of sports industries. The construction and development of sports venues have a certain promoting effect on other sports industries.…”

Geographical Pattern Evolution of Health Resources in China: Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Spatial Mismatch

“…Boston Consulting Group matrix is used in this paper to analyze China’s provincial health resources, with the aim of precisely analyzing their spatio-temporal evolution characteristics. By calculating the relative share ( ) and average annual growth ( ) of medical resources of the provinces in China by Equations (1) and (2), we classify the 31 provinces into four types of star, cow, question, and dog, with their average value ( and ) as the threshold ( Figure 3 ) [ 73 ]. where and represent the relative share and growth rate, respectively, used to reflect the relative position and degree of change of medical resources of a province in China; represents the medical resources of province , represents the maximum value of medical resources among the 31 provinces, and represent the medical resources of province at the base and end of the period, respectively, and represents the number of provinces.…”

Assessment of a Decision-Making Model for Monitoring the Success of a Project for Smart Buildings

“…A well-designed façade that controls the passage of exterior heat or cold ensures efficient energy utilization. Poor building materials affect more than simply the outside [37]. Volatile chemicals, such as those present in paints, insulators, and adhesives in significant quantities, can be harmful to human health [38].…”

“…An external questionnaire design and Table A-2. An internal questionnaire design was adapted from [37,47], as well as interviews, to enhance the information obtained through earlier initiatives. This method frequently employs a small sample size because the interviews are conducted one-on-one and provide in-depth information about the study's subject.…”

“…An external questionnaire design and Table A-2. An internal questionnaire design adapted from [37]. Those who make decisions employ their own assessments of the relative relevance of the aspects during the comparison process.…”
