  • diffusion of Digital innovation in construction a case study of a uk engineering firm
    Construction Management and Economics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Amna Shibeika, Chris Harty
    Abstract:

    The UK government is mandating the use of building information modelling (BIM) in large public projects by 2016. As a result, engineering firms are faced with challenges related to embedding new technologies and associated working practices for the Digital Delivery of major infrastructure projects. Diffusion of innovations theory is used to investigate how Digital innovations diffuse across complex firms. A contextualist approach is employed through an in-depth case study of a large, international engineering project-based firm. The analysis of the empirical data, which was collected over a four-year period of close interaction with the firm, reveals parallel paths of diffusion occurring across the firm, where both the innovation and the firm context were continually changing. The diffusion process is traced over three phases: centralization of technology management, standardization of Digital working practices, and globalization of Digital resources. The findings describe the diffusion of a Digital innovation as multiple and partial within a complex social system during times of change and organizational uncertainty, thereby contributing to diffusion of innovations studies in construction by showing a range of activities and dynamics of a non-linear diffusion process.

  • Diffusion of Digital innovation in a project-based firm: Case study of a UK engineering firm
    Proceedings 30th Annual Association of Researchers in Construction Management Conference ARCOM 2014, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amna Shibeika
    Abstract:

    Digital innovations are rapidly diffusing within the construction sector. With the UK government policy mandating building information modelling (BIM) by 2016, engineering firms are faced with challenges related to embedding new technologies and associated working practices for the Digital Delivery of major infrastructure projects. Drawing from diffusion of innovations theory, this research attempts to answer the question of: how Digital innovation diffuses in the firm? It adopts a contextualist approach through in-depth case study of a large and international engineering project-based firm. The analysis of the empirical data, which was collected over four years of close interaction with the firm, provides a narrative for the diffusion of the Digital innovation across the firm where both the innovation and the firm were in flux. The diffusion process has evolved through three main mechanisms: centralisation of technology management, standardisation of Digital working practices, and globalisation of Digital resources. This case has both theoretical and practical implications; it describes the diffusion of a Digital innovation in a complex social system. This extends diffusion of innovations studies in construction, and guide engineering firms in their efforts to adopt and implement new innovations.

  • translating evidence based treatment for Digital health Delivery a protocol for family based treatment for anorexia nervosa using telemedicine
    The Journal of Eating Disorders, 2020
    Co-Authors: Auidorcid A Hambleton, Le D Grange, Jane Miskovicwheatley, Stephen Touyz, Michelle Cunich, Sarah Maguire
    Abstract:

    Family-based treatment (FBT) is an efficacious outpatient intervention for young people diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa (AN). To date, treatment to protocol has relied on standard face-to-face Delivery. Face-to-face therapy is subject to geographic, temporal and human factors, rendering it particularly susceptible to inequities and disruption. This has resulted in poorer service provision for rural and regional families, and recently a significant challenge to providing face-to-face services during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The present study examines whether FBT for AN can be successfully translated to a Digital Delivery platform to address these access issues. Forty young people aged 12 to 18 years who meet DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for AN, and live in a rural or regional setting, will along with their family be recruited to the study. Trained therapists will provide 18 sessions of FBT over 9 months via telemedicine to the home of the young person and their family. The analysis will examine treatment effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness. The study addresses the treatment needs of families not able to attend face-to-face clinical services for evidence-based treatment for eating disorders. This might be due to several barriers, including a lack of local services or long travel distances to services. There has been a recent and unprecedented demand for telemedicine to facilitate the continuity of care during COVID-19 despite geographical circumstances. If delivering treatment in this modality is clinically and economically effective and feasible, it will facilitate access to potentially lifesaving, evidence-based treatments for families formerly unable to access such care and provide evidence for the continuity of services when and where face-to-face treatment is not feasible.

  • Aplicaciones Digitales de Delivery: Incidencia en el consumo de comidas rápidas durante el primer semestre del año 2020 en Guayaquil
    2021
    Co-Authors: Romero Campuzano, Angie Vanessa
    Abstract:

    La velocidad con la que se expandió el virus en el país junto con las medidas de restricción sanitaria, implicó grandes desafíos para la economía del país; un estudio de IPSOS reveló que el consumidor luego de superar los efectos del Covid-19, será menos impulsivo y optará por alternativas ahorrativas. La presente investigación busca dar a conocer la incidencia de las aplicaciones Digitales de Delivery en el consumo de comidas rápidas durante el primer semestre del año 2020, con la finalidad de que los negocios que planeen utilizar aplicaciones de este tipo, cuenten con bases para elaborar estrategias promocionales y dirigirse a un consumidor más cauteloso en su proceso de compra. A través de la encuesta se recopilaron opiniones de 384 personas económicamente activas, hombres y mujeres con edades desde los 16 años en adelante, residentes en Guayaquil y con afinidad de adquirir comidas rápidas a través de aplicaciones de Delivery, también se recogieron las opiniones de cuatro administradores cuyos establecimientos cumplían con las características mencionadas. Se obtuvo que, con la llegada de la pandemia, y por ende, las restricciones de movilidad y cambios en el estado de ánimo como consecuencia del confinamiento, influyó en los patrones de consumo de comidas altamente procesadas. Así como, el aumento en el flujo de transacciones de compra/venta por medio de estas plataformas, tanto de consumidores como vendedores en relación a otros años.The speed with which the virus spread in the country and the sanitary restriction measures implied great challenges for the country's economy; An IPSOS study revealed that consumers, after overcoming the effects of Covid-19, will be less impulsive and will opt for thrifty alternatives. This research seeks to make public the incidence of Digital Delivery applications in the consumption of fast foods during the first half of 2020, in order that businesses that plan to use Delivery applications can take advantage of tools for developing promotional strategies and targeting more cautious consumers in their purchase process. Through the survey, the opinions of 384 economically active people, men and women with ages from 16 years and older, residents in Guayaquil and with an affinity to acquire fast food through Delivery applications, were considered. As well as the opinions of four administrators of establishments that met the aforementioned characteristics. The current research found that mobility restrictions and changes in the state of mind as a consequence of confinement due to the pandemic, influenced the consumption patterns of highly processed foods, and led to an increase in the flow of purchase-sale transactions through these platforms in relation to other years, for consumers as well as for sellers

  • Precariedad e inestabilidad: contradicciones en el trabajo en las plataformas de reparto de comida
    2020
    Co-Authors: Fernández-trujillo Moares, Francisco José
    Abstract:

    Digital platforms have appeared and developed in a framework of economic crisis that has led to the deepening of various forms of inequality, precariousness, deterioration of living conditions for large sections of the population. These platforms have also generated far-reaching changes in economies. This would have meant that its expansion responds to a series of characteristics in accordance with that situation. Attending to the great expansion of Digital economies and platform capitalism, this text intends to make an approximation to some of the explanatory keys of the elements of a specific type of Digital platforms: food Delivery platforms. Here some of the issues that have arisen since their greatest controversy and discussion is analyzed: the moment of emergency, innovation, flexibility at work or their role in the labour market. To this end, some of the discourses presented by the Digital Delivery platforms themselves and the discourses of the riders of these platforms are analyzed.As plataformas digitais surgiram e se desenvolveram em uma estrutura de crise econômica que levou ao aprofundamento de várias formas de desigualdade, precariedade, deterioração das condições de vida de grandes grupos populacionais e gerou grandes mudanças nas economias. Isso significaria que sua expansão responde a uma série de características de acordo com essa situação. Assim, enquadrado em um momento de grande expansão das economias digitais e do capitalismo de plataforma, este texto pretende aproximar algumas das chaves explicativas dos elementos de um tipo específico de plataforma Digital: plataformas de entrega de comida. Aqui analisamos algumas das questões que levaram, desde seu surgimento, a mais controvérsias e discussões: tempo de emergência, inovação, flexibilidade no trabalho ou seu papel no mercado de trabalho. Para isso, são analisados alguns dos discursos apresentados pelas próprias plataformas de entrega Digital e os discursos dos entregadores e entregadoras dessas plataformas.Las plataformas Digitales han aparecido y se han desarrollado en un marco de crisis económica que ha supuesto la profundización de diversas formas de desigualdad, precarización, desmejora de las condiciones de vida para amplios grupos de población y ha generado cambios de gran envergadura en las economías. Esto habría supuesto que su expansión responda a una serie de características en concordancia con dicha situación. Así, enmarcado en un momento de gran expansión de las economías Digitales y el capitalismo de plataforma, en este texto se pretende hacer una aproximación a algunas de las claves explicativas de los elementos de un tipo concreto de plataformas Digitales: las plataformas de reparto de comida. Aquí se analizan algunas de las cuestiones que han supuesto, desde su aparición, mayor controversia y discusión: momento de emergencia, innovación, flexibilidad en el trabajo o su papel en el mercado laboral.
