Abstract

Purpose – While digital technologies revolutionized industries worldwide, their adoption in Egypt's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector has been slow. This research empirically examines the impact of Industry 4.0 transformation (IR4.0) on supply chain integration (SCI) within Egypt's AEC industry.
Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative approach with a survey administered to 144 AEC companies located in Greater Cairo, was employed to collect data. SPSS statistical software (version 25) was used for data analysis using the following statistical methods: descriptive statistics, reliability and validity testing, normality Tests, and Ordinal Data Analysis.
Findings – The findings reveal that IR4.0 has a positive impact on SCI
Implications – This research fills an Empirical Gap due to the scarcity of information and the challenges involved in collecting data from the Egyptian AEC industry supply chain parties, and fills a Population Gap, by targeting a diverse population with varying sources of data and information collection, which posed a significant challenge.
