Singapore National Information Infrastructure Policy and its Implementation in the Construction Industry by Masaru

IT2000 is a strategic national information technology (IT) policy introduced by the Singaporean government in 1992. The Construction and Real Estate Network (CORENET) is one of such several sectoral applications of IT, expected to be implemented in the construction industry. IT has special significance for Singaporean economic development. Planning practices for the national IT policy in each historic phase have been typical of the Singaporean approach to economic development. The Singaporean construction industry also has a particular role in Singaporean economic development. This thesis analyzes the political, economic, and technical environment surrounding IT and construction and makes some recommendations for successful implementation of the proposed CORENET project.
