Construction innovation is an important but contested concept, both
in industry practice and academic reflection and research. A
fundamental reason for this is the nature of the construction
industry itself: the industry and the value creation activities
taking place there are multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous,
distributed and often fragmented. This book takes a new approach to
construction innovation, revealing different perspectives, set in a
broader context. It coalesces multiple theoretical and
practice-based views in order to stimulate reflection and to
prepare the ground for further synthesis. By being clear, cogent
and unambiguous on the most basic definitions, it can mobilise a
plurality of perspectives on innovation to promote fresh thinking
on how it can be studied, enabled, measured, and propagated across
the industry. This book does not gloss over the real-life
complexity of construction innovation. Instead, its authors look
explicitly at the challenges that conceptual issues entail and by
making their own position clear, they open up fresh intellectual
space for reflection. Construction Innovation examines innovation
from different positions and through different conceptual lenses to
reveal the richness that the theoretical perspectives offer to our
understanding of the way that the construction sector actors
innovate at both project and organizational levels. The editors
have brought together here leading scholars to deconstruct the
concept of innovation and to discuss the merits of different
perspectives, their commonalities and their diversity. The result
is an invaluable sourcebook for those studying and leading
innovation in the design, the building and the maintenance of our
built environment.
