Abstract

This study posits to contribute to assist construction organisations to formulate pertinent management strategies to improve their performance in product, process and organisational innovation developments. To achieve this aim, this study proposes a relationship framework between innovation determinants and innovation capacity in construction organisations. Views on innovation developments were collected from award winning innovators and construction professionals to verify the framework. After analysis, endogenous determinants are categorised into leadership and strategy, knowledge management, and staff creativity development. Exogenous determinants are categorised into technology flow, market demand, competition or cooperation, regulation and standards. Furthermore, the influencing powers of these factors vary with the type of innovation. Five suggestions derived from the findings are offered for innovation development. These suggestions are illustrated with reference to an organisation that has harvested over a hundred innovations as from 2010. Exemplary innovations each for product, process and organisation are detailed.
