Abstract
Dette speciale beskæftiger sig med implementering af det digitale byggeri i den Litauiske byggesektor. Indenfor dette felt er den historiske udvikling, de eksisterende forhold og den fremtidige strategiske udvikling analyseret. Det digitale byggeri anses for at være en niche innovation og analysen af fremtidig implementering er baseret på to mulige niche managers: den offentlige organisation og et lokalt firma. Der undersøges, hvad er den bedste strategi for udviklingen og udbredelsen af teknologien, og hvordan de to tiltag konvergerer og bidrage hertil. For at få dybere forståelse af, hvad er specifikt for implementeringen i Litauen, sammenlignes implementeringsforløb i Litauen med erfaringerne fra Danmark, hvor udviklingen er længere og mere udbredt. En bred empirisk data er indsamlet via interviews, observationer og litteraturstudie med henblik på at analysere fænomenet i dets sammenhænge og tage fat på mange beslægtede aspekter. Analysen er baseret på den teoretiske tilgang af Multi-level perspective (Geels, 2005) og Strategic niche management (Kemp, Schot, Hoogma, 1988).
The thesis deals with the development of the Lithuanian construction sector towards digital construction. Within this field the historical development, the existing conditions and the future strategic development are analysed. The digital construction is considered to be a niche innovation and the analysis is based on two possible niche managers: the public body and a local consultancy company. These initiatives are analysed in order to distinguish the best way of organising development and ensure implementation. In order to understand, what is specific about implementation in Lithuania, the analysis compares the practices in Lithuania with experiences from Denmark, where the development started much earlier and has been active for many years. A broad empirical data was collected via interviews, observations and literature study in order to analyse phenomenon in its contexts and address many related aspects. The analysis is based on the theoretical approach of the Multi-level perspective (Geels, 2005) and the Strategic niche management (Kemp, Schot, & Hoogma, 1988).
