Bossink, B (2004) Co-innovation research in construction. In: Khosrowshahi, F (ed.) Proceedings of 20th Annual ARCOM Conference, 1-3 September 2004, Edinburgh, UK.
Abstract
A research framework is presented with which co-innovation - i.e. interfirm innovation - processes in the construction industry can be studied. The aim of this framework is to provide a basis of content for the development of research projects into various topics related to co-innovation in construction. The framework is based on the main outcomes of ten years of research into co-innovation processes in the Dutch construction industry. The framework distinguishes the following themes of co-innovation: (1) management practices, (2) innovation drivers and (3) innovation cycles. For each theme a research structure and a basic research question is presented. These instruments can be useful for researchers who want to develop research proposals into one or more aspects of co-innovation in construction.
| Item Type: | Conference Paper (Paper) |
|---|---|
| Uncontrolled Keywords: | innovation; co-innovation; research framework |

| Descriptive scope: | 3 PCT |
N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
