However, mixed perspectives and misunderstanding are very common towards BIM's agenda and philosophy due to a total change in paradigm of practice and its quick growth in the sectors. This paper aims to render a comprehensive review through a mixed review approach on BIM from the literature up to first of January, 2013 as well as actual industrial observations and experience in BIM projects. The scope focuses on the development and implementation of the past and current state of BIM, and subsequently, inferences are drawn and discussed for the future of BIM based on the developed conceptual framework. Eventually, the paper reveals new implications of BIM for the way forward and updates the existing literature of the overview on BIM.

Many areas of adoption issues and know how regarding BIM were investigated. However, no prior research has considered the perspective from engineering consulting services (ECS) firms. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the overview and adoption of BIM from the perspective of Malaysian ECS firms, with its objectives first, to determine the perceptions, barriers, governmental support and intentions in adopting BIM, and second, to identify the key drivers for adopting BIM within two years. Design/methodology/approach -The primary data were collected from focus group interview and questionnaire survey to achieve the first objective, and subsequently, the second objective was achieved based on Pearson relationship analysis. Findings -The results show that the firms have a concept of BIM that equates to industry authorities' norms; yet the lack of well-trained personnel, guidance and governmental supports were identified as the main barriers to adoption. Nevertheless, the firms were prepared to adopt BIM where market demands and competitive advantage were the main drivers to adoption within two years. Originality/value -A different perspective has been highlighted in adoption of BIM. It renders a new insight into the effective adoption and use of BIM from the ECS firms' perspective.

In construction industry many parties have been identified as stakeholders and these abundant and diverse stakeholders do need to be managed based on this fact that, success in construction projects is significantly dependent on meeting the needs of project stakeholders.
According to this issue in the construction industry, the importance of embracing Personal Organizational fit (P-O fit) which mostly emphasizes on values and known as value congruence is revealed, due to its function for creating compatibility between individual values and organizational values. Recently, the concept of value congruence has attracted many scholars, especially in the field of Organizational Behaviour (OB). Although the literature of OB regarding value congruence indicates a disarray according to several theories and methodologies but affirms the positive outcomes of this construct on some individual variables related to work environment like; organizational commitment, job satisfaction and organizational identification. The aim of the current paper is to critically review and conceptualization of P-O fit, value and
value congruence concepts toward the construction industry, specifically in Malaysia.
Keywords: Personal-Organizational (P-O) fit, Value congruence, Personal values, Organizational values, Construction industry.

To evaluate companies’ ability in creating stockholder value, investors do want to
focus on their financial performance and consider the stock price of companies as the usher of that. For a long time, traditional measures of performance like Earning per Share, Return on Investment, etc., have been used by investors to measure stockholder value creation in companies, but according to the potential weaknesses of the traditional measures of performance, they have gravitated to use value based measures of performance which focus on changes in value. The value based measures of performance are diverse and there is no consensus between scholars about their competence in evaluating financial performance of companies perfectly. To assess the ability of the value based measures in evaluating stockholder value creation, in this paper the attempt is made to examine the relationship between stock price behaviour of companies and two of the most important value based measures, economic value added and market value added in Tehran Stock Market. The results of the study corroborate the significant correlation of the research variables.
Key words: Value based measures, Economic value added, Market value added, Stock price, Stock market.
