Building Constructive Innovation Networks: Role of Relationship Management

Robyn Keast, Keith D. Hampson · 2007 · Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

Summary. This case study examines how the Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation manages relationships across multiple organizations to drive innovation. The research finds that relational governance—based on trust and cooperation rather than contracts—is essential for these networks, though supplemented by other governance approaches. The authors develop a relationship management framework and identify key lessons for designing and operating interorganizational innovation networks effectively.
