Abstract
  • Technology Transfer (TT) is the process that facilitates the effective sharing of knowledge and information as valuable resources in order to create a competitive advantage for stakeholders. Therefore, the efficacy of TT is essential in order to enhance and drive economic and social development. Currently, there is a dearth of standardized methodologies to assess the efficacy of technology transfer, particularly in Malaysia's digital construction sector. The purpose of this study is to identify the critical success factors (CSF) of effective transfer of technology in digital construction. In order to achieve that, a survey questionnaire pre-testing is conducted using Content Validity Index (CVI). 89 CSF were identified and were validated systematically by 6 expert panels. The study revealed that all 89 CSF were valid contents with the score for S-CVI/Ave ranging at 0.83-1.00 and S-CVI/UA score is at 0.96 with with 3 new additional critical succes factors suggested which are Values Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity (DEI) factor under PEOPLE group whereas Strong Top-Down mandate procedure factor and Strong Bottom-up input and feedback communication factor under MANAGEMENT group to be included in the current study.
