| summary |
This paper reports on findings of a November 1996 exploratory survey of architecture-engineering clients
(Fortune 500 corporate facility managers). This research investigated how the practices of corporate facility
managers are being influenced by rapid changes in information technology. The conceptual model that
served as a guide for this research hypothesized that information technology acts as both an enabler (that is,
information technology provides an effective mechanism for managers to implement desired changes) as
well as a source of innovation (that is, new information technology innovations create new facility
management opportunities). The underlying assumption of this research is that information technology is
evolving from a tool that incrementally improves "back-office" productivity to an essential component of
strategic positioning that may alter the basic economics, organizational structure and operational practices
of facility management organizations and their interactions with service providers (architects, engineers and
constructors). The paper concludes with a discussion of researchable issues. |
