Our preliminary research results indicate that the company background and personal career profiles can significantly affect practitioners\u2019 technology utilization level. Thus, our prediction model is based on four variables: company size, company type, working experience, and working position. The United States and China are selected as the case studies to validate the prediction model. First, a well-designed questionnaire survey is distributed to the industrialized construction industry practitioners from the two countries, which leads to 81 and 99 valid responses separately. Then, ordinal logistic regression is used to develop a set of models to predict the practitioners\u2019 utilization level of the four main technology types. Finally, the external test dataset consisting of 16 cases indicates the prediction models have a high accuracy. The results also reflect some differences of the technology utilization status in the industrialized construction industry between the United States and China. The major contribution of this research is offering an efficient and accurate method to predict practitioners\u2019 technology utilization level in industrialized construction. Significantly, the models are believed to have a wide application in promoting the emerging technologies in the actual industrialized construction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a13080180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,24]],"date-time":"2020-07-24T13:06:09Z","timestamp":1595595969000},"page":"180","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Predictive Analysis on Emerging Technology Utilization in Industrialized Construction in the United States and China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Qi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"M.E.
