Sažetak
Croatian construction companies are passing dramatically changes by privatisation and restructuring of their business processes. They tend to better adaptation to fast changing business environment, according to the modern market needs. The Croatian (as well Bosnia and Herzegovina) economy is today, and will be in the near future, under huge reconstruction and development efforts. The market conditions in these Republics are for now: scarcity of financial means, scarcity of personal educated and trained in modern management methods, scarcity of some profiles of skilled people in construction, very strong competition of foreign companies, since Croatian (and B&H) market is now open for foreign competition. The specific after war conditions include also new legal and business structure (completely new legislative based on the practice of developed western democratic states) new financial structure and institutions (also based on the financial structure of the developed countries).In the chaining of the subsystems:( ownership - undertaking - management - transformed ownership ), information technology is fundamental but not sufficient enabler for quality decision making and efficiently management of the construction processes. Based on the IT application, there are required educated and trained management people, who make adequate decisions, and carry on decision realisation. By adequate IT application, design and construction processes are probably rationalised and accelerated, by satisfaction of the high quality standards, so that construction companies could easier adapt to market needs. In the paper is presented research framework and description of the research approach, as well some preliminary results of IT application in Croatian construction.
