Abstract |
In this study, a new research model and hypothesis were proposed to systematically introduce digital transformation (DX, DT, hereinafter referred to as "DX") to domestic plant construction industry, which has been struggling with management due to recent weakening price competitiveness, lack of project management capabilities, and lack of technology and innovation. In the research model setup, digital competency was set as the independent variable, digital maturity as the mediator variable, and CEO's willingness to utilize DX and client's demand intensity to utilize DX as the moderator variables, allowing for the verification of project performance as the dependent variable. The survey is meaningful as an empirical study because it targets samples with experience in the plant industry and DX. As a result of this study, it was verified that the introduction of DX into plant construction industry has a significant impact on project performance and is a strategic tool that can bring about innovative changes in business. |
