Collaborative Innovation for Sustainable Construction: The Case of an Industrial Construction Project Network

Ruixue Zhang, Zeyu Wang, Yuyan Tang, Yuanxin Zhang · 2020 · IEEE Access

Summary. This paper examines how multiple organizations collaborate to drive innovation in sustainable construction. Using social network analysis of a Chinese industrial construction project, the researchers identified key actors and structural patterns that enable inter-organizational collaboration. The study reveals which factors influence successful collaboration and how network structures replace traditional hierarchies to improve innovation performance and construction efficiency.
