Summary:

"This incisive Research Companion presents a global perspective on the state of the art of research on innovation policies, strategies and practices in construction, challenging existing theories, models and concepts. Chapters explore conceptual frameworks for fostering innovation in construction projects, featuring case studies that illustrate practical implementation. They outline a number of key topics including business model developments and economic justifications for investment in construction, policy-led innovations and the participation of Indigenous people in projects. Expert contributors analyze multi-stakeholder perspectives and address recent reforms in construction project procurement, as well as emerging technologies in health and safety management. The Companion demonstrates the importance of stakeholder integration for open and sustainable innovation projects and provides guidance on how construction organisations can develop tools to measure this. The Research Companion to Innovation in Construction is an engaging resource for students and researchers in construction management, planning, architecture, and engineering. Its in-depth exploration of business models and procurement strategies makes it an essential read for practising architects, civil and building engineers, construction managers, and quantity surveyors"-- Provided by publisher.
