Strategic Digital Leadership in Construction: Overcoming Organizational Barriers to Sustainable Competitiveness
Hanan Nazzal,
Volume 0, Issue 0 (10-2024)
Abstract
Despite technological advancements (e.g., BIM, AI, IoT), the construction industry exhibits low digital maturity, hindered by persistent managerial challenges, including cultural resistance, rigid hierarchies, and institutional inertia. This study investigates Strategic Digital Leadership (CDiLe) as a catalyst for overcoming these barriers and enabling sustainable competitiveness. Employing a systematic review of 60 peer-reviewed articles (2015-2023) from Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest, thematic coding synthesized evidence across theoretical and regional contexts. Findings reveal that CDiLe characterized by participatory leadership, strategic visioning, digital literacy, and resource alignment, facilitates agile, data-driven, and sustainable decision-making. Organizations implementing CDiLe principles demonstrate significant gains, including project efficiency improvements (up to 30%) and reduced delays (by 25%). The study presents an empirically grounded framework for leadership-driven digital transformation, focusing on practical organizational change interventions, particularly in emerging markets. It advances scholarship by reframing digital transformation as fundamentally leadership-led, not merely technology-driven, and offers actionable pathways for firms and policymakers to embed digital strategy into construction management, guiding future empirical validation.

Abstract
In the era of digitization and globalization, national higher education systems face a number of challenges of the exogenous nature. Intensification of the competition in the educational services market necessitates the search for new ways of increasing the level of the competitiveness of universities and higher education systems as a whole. Development of theoretical, methodological and applied foundations of the formation and implementation of the integrated model of the competitive higher education becomes relevant. Application of the interdisciplinary approach to the research allows combining tools and techniques of different sciences. Economic, psycho-pedagogical, legal and managerial blocks are structural components of the proposed model of the competitive higher education. The effective implementation of such a model requires the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders and the impact of changing factors in the exogenous environment. Successful implementation of the model requires the existence of a developed regulatory framework harmonized with the provisions of the EU legislation. Practical implementation of the model concept proposed in this article will increase the competitiveness of the national higher education system in a highly competitive global scientific and educational area.
A Model for Factors Affecting the Performance of Warehouse Management to Increase the Competitiveness of the Ceramic Industry in Thailand
Vichayanan Rattanawiboonsom,
Volume 33, Issue 3 (9-2022)
Abstract
This research aimed 1) to study the effects of the factors influencing the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand; 2) to study the development of a model for factors affecting the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand; and 3) to study the guideline and development of the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand. The study employed the quantitative research methodology and the statistical devices of percentage and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The population and sample group comprised executives in the ceramic industry in Thailand.
The findings revealed the following: 1) The factors concerning knowledge of information technology, warehouse management and digital system positively affected the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand at the statistically significant levels of β = 0.324, 0.163 and 0.271 respectively. The antecedent variables which had Direct Effect (DE) and Total Effect (TE) on the latent variable of the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness were 1. knowledge of information technology (DE = 0.324, and TE = 0.324), 2. warehouse management (DE = 0.271, and TE = 0.271), and 3. digital system (DE = 0.163, and TE = 0.163) respectively; 2) The results of the study of the guideline and development of a model for factors affecting the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand revealed that the factors concerning knowledge of information technology, warehouse management and digital system were well-fitted with the empirical data at statistically significant levels; and 3) The factors concerning knowledge of information technology, warehouse management and digital system contributed to the performance of warehouse management to increase the competitiveness of the ceramic industry in Thailand in terms of speed, time and customer service.
