摘要: This exploratory paper examines the drivers and obstacles to construction innovation. It is based on a large-scale survey of nearly 400 businesses in Australian industry conducted 2004, twelve in-depth case studies innovation projects between 2002 2005. The argues that can effectively improve their on-going competitive advantage through more strategic approach increasing levels. undertakes an analysis concepts aimed at making such ideas accessible stakeholders. then draws study results analyse success, together with challenges often encountered. concludes recommendations for performance, focussing value relationship-building exercises, particularly clients, related employees. Three priorities business planning are suggested. Firstly, relationships required leading-edge clients order be exposed pressure perform beyond business-as-usual. Secondly, successfully engineer joint approaches as means managing risks involved. Finally, positive employees needed maximise impact training programs enhancing managerial social skills address non-technical For policy makers, draw attention need profitability levels businesses, by providing environment conducive further research into obstacles.
