PurposeAlthough there has been a surge in the adoption of building information modelling (BIM) in the construction industry, the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are still struggling and perceive its adoption as risky. The SMEs in developing economies are especially on the disadvantaged side of the digital divide. Extant studies have focused on large firms and there are scanty studies on the influence of the external environments on BIM adoption in SMEs. Thus, this study espouses institutional theory (INT) to examine the influence of coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures on BIM awareness and adoption in SMEs.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach was employed, and data were collected from the Nigerian construction SMEs via an empirical questionnaire survey using a sequential stratified and convenient sampling method. Hypothesized relationships between the coercive, mimetic, and normative pressure and BIM in SMEs were empirically tested using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique and the model was validated with the “PLSpredict” procedure.FindingsThe results revealed that coercive and mimetic pressures significantly influence BIM adoption in SMEs while normative pressures have the strongest influence on BIM in SMEs. Also, BIM awareness is an important predictor of BIM adoption. The findings also shed light on the influence of firmographics on BIM awareness and adoption in Nigerian SMEs.Originality/valueThe study empirically validates the applicability of INT and highlights that BIM adoption is not only influenced by internal responses to the need for efficiency but also by external pressures. It implies a clear need for intentional isomorphic pressures in driving BIM adoption in SMEs. The study employs the INT to explain a phenomenon that has not been theoretically explored in the context of SMEs in developing economies. Lastly, the study provided valuable insights into driving BIM adoption, together with the effective practical implications for implementation and potential research areas for further studies.

BACKGROUND Large health organizations often struggle to build complex health information technology (HIT) solutions of high quality and are faced with ever growing pressure to continuously innovate their information systems. While achieving high quality HIT implementations requires change and, therefore, an innovative organization, innovation and change can also be regarded as a threat to a running system. Rather limited research has been conducted in this context that explores the relationship between the organization’s innovative capabilities and HIT quality in the sense of achieving high quality support of patient care. OBJECTIVE To explain how the different facets of organizational innovation capabilities are linked to HIT quality in order to eventually achieve better information provision in health care organizations. METHODS We designed a survey assessing various domains of HIT quality as well as the organization’s capacity for innovation and administered it to hospitals across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. The results from 232 hospitals were used to fit a model that was specified to predict HIT quality domains as a function of multiple interrelationships among the facilitating constructs using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). RESULTS The results from PLS-SEM indicated satisfactory values of the model parameters, including the convergent and discriminant validity for measuring the latent constructs that underlie the measures of HIT quality and of innovation capabilities. Pursuant to this model, HIT quality was expressed as the path from a “professional information management” explaining “HIT support of patient care” (R² = .55) to explaining “perceived goodness of information provision” (R² = .53) via “perceived HIT support”. “Innovation capabilities of the top management team” were strongly associated with the ones of the “IT department” and of the “organization at large”. These capabilities mainly acted on the “professionalism of information management” (R² = .73), particularly through the innovative attitude of the top management team and of the IT department as well as on the perceived HIT quality through an organization-wide culture of innovation. Based on these findings, we propose this model as the innovation and quality model of health information technology, the IQHIT model, which measures and explains the internal modes of action for HIT quality and for innovation capabilities as well as their interaction. CONCLUSIONS The IQHIT model combines individual associations that are well-known from the literature with the empirical evidence of the complex interplay of HIT quality and innovation. It highlights the key of the professionalism of information management to the quality with which patient care processes are supported by HIT and how innovation capabilities shape information management. The IQHIT model may serve to stimulate further scientific work also in the field of HIT adoption and diffusion as well as to provide practical advice on how to achieve good patient care with the help of health IT.

In the construction sector, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become a disruptive technology that improves project outcomes and changes conventional methods. This analysis looks at how BIM is used in the construction industry, emphasizing the advantages, factors that encourage adoption, and obstacles to it. Better stakeholder cooperation and communication are made possible by BIM, which boosts project efficiency and saves a substantial amount of money. Its value extends beyond the building phase into facilities management by supporting sustainable construction practices through thorough energy analysis and lifecycle management. Despite these benefits, there are still obstacles to BIM adoption, including high upfront costs, shortage of workers with the necessary skills, interoperability problems, and organizational opposition. The degree of BIM adoption throughout the world varies depending on elements such as industry norms, government regulations, and technology readiness. Industry stakeholders must work together to define global standards, provide training and education, create supporting regulations, and share successful case studies in order to overcome these obstacles. BIM is positioned to play an increasingly important role in the construction industry’s ongoing evolution, spurring innovation and enhancing the built environment.
