Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to propose a comprehensive framework for the management of innovation in construction, addressing the construction innovation problem in two distinctive ways at the institutional and firm levels. First, an institutional perspective derived from research on complex systems industries is developed which provides an alternative to the volume production model for construction innovation research. The roles of the innovation infrastructure, innovation superstructure and systems integrator are all identified and applied to construction. The paper then moves on to the firm level where the two key innovation dynamics - the top-down adoption/implementation dynamic and the bottom up problem solving/learning dynamic are identified. The paper ends by calling for more case studies of the trajectories of construction innovations.
