Acknowledgments

It was not possible to complete this report without the excellent assistance of several of my doctoral and master's degree students, including Robert Howard, Mingyu Zhu, Xiao Sun, Anna Wang, and Vinayak Arakere. The data collected and the analysis conducted by these students enabled me to construct an evidence-based theory broad enough to understand BIM proliferation in three distinct national environments. It is hoped that the attempt to instill behavioral insights into the principal-agent theory could evolve into a robust theoretical approach that is conducive to the design of incentive structures for BIM projects.
