Functional and structural analysis of the components of the mechanism of intra-firm technology transfer in the construction industry

Abstract

The functional and structural analysis of the components of the mechanism of intra-firm technology transfer in the construction industry is aimed at a systemic understanding of the processes of generation, adaptation, transfer, and scaling of innovations within the organizational structure of an enterprise. In the context of digitalization, increasing complexity of development projects, and high market competition, effective internal technology transfer becomes a key factor in sustaining innovation dynamics and ensuring the long-term competitiveness of construction companies.

The study substantiates that the mechanism of intra-firm technology transfer has a multi-component nature and includes organizational and coordination, information and communication, technological and logistical, analytical and metric, and human resource blocks. Their integration forms a comprehensive knowledge management infrastructure that ensures the replicability of innovative solutions across different divisions of the enterprise. It is established that the fragmentation of technological innovations, the localized nature of their implementation, and dependence on the human factor necessitate a structural decomposition of the transfer mechanism in order to identify gaps, duplications, and functional imbalances.

A staged transfer analysis model is proposed, encompassing technology generation, its adaptation to specific project requirements, transfer between structural units, and performance monitoring. It is proven that a key element of efficiency lies in the formalization of transfer indicators through a KPI system, BI analytics tools, and digital dashboards that provide feedback and support managerial decision-making.

Special attention is given to the role of digital platforms (BIM, ERP, CDE, cloud services, and project management systems), which create a unified information environment for the storage, standardization, and scaling of technological solutions. It is substantiated that the integration of digital tools with organizational transfer procedures creates the conditions for forming an internal technological ecosystem of the enterprise.

The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of applying the proposed functional and structural approach to designing effective management models for intra-firm technology transfer, enhancing synchronization among departments, reducing costs associated with repeated solution development, and ensuring technological continuity within construction companies.
