The construction industry is currently experiencing accelerating
developments concerning societal demands along with project
complexity, internationalization and digitalization. In an attempt
to grasp the consequences of these demands on productivity and
innovation, this edited book addresses how innovation is likely to
take place with a more long-term perspective on the construction
sector. While existing literature focuses on organizational
discontinuity and fragmentation as the main reasons for the
apparent lack of innovation in the industry, this book highlights
the connectivity of construction actors, resources and activities
as fundamental for understanding how innovation takes place.Through
15 empirically grounded chapters, the book shows how innovation is
part of construction processes on various levels, including
project, firm and industry, and that these innovation processes are
characterized by organizational and technological connectivity over
time. Written by European business management scholars, the
chapters cover empirical cases and examples from both a
multi-organizational and a multi-international perspective in terms
of covering the viewpoints of different industry actors and the
contexts of several different European countries including: Sweden,
Norway, the UK, Italy, France, Hungary and Poland. By illustrating
how connectivity is part of innovation processes in the creation of
single-product innovations, of various innovations within and
across projects, as well as a fundamental aspect of the processes
in which innovations cross nations, the book provides a new angle
on how to understand construction innovation and where the industry
might (or needs to) be heading next. This book is essential reading
for anyone interested in construction management, project
management, engineering management, innovation studies, business
and management studies.
