Following the analysis of 12 semi-structured interviews with 27 different stakeholders and 7 observations of stakeholder interactions, we answer the following questions: 1) what are the challenges during implementation of the innovation projects in weak-institutional contexts? 2) how are these challenges addressed through strategies? 3) how can we theorize the relationship between challenges and strategies in weak institutional contexts? The challenges include community resistance, information fragmentation, disjoined efforts, and governance inefficiency. Theoretically, we highlight how ad-hoc workarounds are operationalized in weak-institutional contexts and how they can lead to lasting changes by building governance frameworks in the long term.

The adoption of computer vision with deep learning expedites automation, accuracy, and efficiency in construction progress monitoring by overcoming the challenges of laborious, and error prone manual methods.

Using computer vision, this study develops a Mask Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network deep learning model. It utilizes progress images of drywall construction from two indoor construction sites and tests the model on a third indoor site in Sydney, Australia. The model is capable of automated as-built visual detection and work-in-progress measurement. The study also provides an understanding on the deployment process of the deep learning model on a cloud-based platform called Streamlit. By developing a model tailored for automatically quantifying work-in-progress of indoor construction elements and detailing the process of deploying that model on a cloud-based platform, this study significantly advances digitalization of construction project management. Project managers, stand to benefit from these advancements by gaining access to more accurate and automated construction progress monitoring for better decision-making.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721524000346/pdfft?md5=751509091c96c5620340e94eaab7fa2c&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721524000346-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142058330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, an empirical study was conducted to investigate the usage of social sustainability practices and explore any disparities in their implementation between domestic and international construction firms in the United Arab Emirates. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining interviews and a structured questionnaire. Through the interviews, 32 social sustainability practices were identified. Subsequently, a questionnaire was used to collect data from project managers representing 259 firms. The analysis revealed several key findings: 1) social sustainability practices are adopted at varying rates; 2) twelve practices, primarily concerning fundamental human rights and labor ethics, are uniformly employed by both domestic and international firms; and 3) international firms are more likely than their domestic counterparts to regularly implement the other 20 social sustainability practices. These findings develop new knowledge on the implementation of social sustainability practices and advance the understanding of how firm origin influences the adoption of these practices. Additionally, the findings and their implications provide valuable guidance for policymakers and project leaders looking to incorporate social sustainability practices into their operational strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721524000334/pdfft?md5=da3acc678507d2aff63d02c6d8bd9345&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721524000334-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141963520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
