Background Construction Projects Fragmentation; temporarily project team; adversarial relations; low trust and opportunism; etc. Lack of cooperation. low productivity; low efficiency. low innovation performance.
Background Business Project Construction Project Innovation Project
Background Researches about innovation projects Individual firms Interfirm cooperation relationships and networks Technological innovation networks
Integrated Structuring Modeling This research used a five-stage ISM method as follows: (1) define the problem to be solved; (2) select the elements consist of the problem as well as describe the logic relationship between the elements and the problem; (3) establish adjacency matrix and reachability matrix of all the factors; (4) hierarchically structure all the elements and construct the structural model; (5) analyze all the elements according to the structural model.
Obtaining interrelationship between CSFs Forming Adjacency Matrix(A) of CSFs A is used to describe the logical relationship between factors in the system, namely showing the reachability between factors through one unit length. Contextual relationship-“leads to” An initial 21*21 matrix of the identified CSFs for paired comparison was developed and sent to the 10 experts for their opinions.
Obtaining interrelationship between CSFs Forming Reachability Matrix(R) of CSFs Reachability Matrix (R) which indicates both the direct and indirect effects of a factor on all other factors is generated. Boolean algebraic operation
Hierarchical structuring of CSFs Partitioning the Reachability Matrix R obtained above was then partitioned by deriving the reachability set (R(Fi))and antecedent set (A(Fi))to obtain ISM hierarchy For any factor, if R(Fi) is a complete subset of A(Fi), that factor(s) will be taken out and assigned a particular level
Hierarchical structuring of CSFs First Iteration of Reachability Matrix
Hierarchical structuring of CSFs Second Iteration of Reachability Matrix
Hierarchical structuring of CSFs F1.professionalism of partners F2.high credibility of partners F3.harmonious long-term working relationships F4.partners have rich experience in cooperation and innovation F5.mutual trust F6.open internal and external communication and cooperation Establishment of trust-based partnership Factors1~9 Establishment of contract-based partnership F7.equitable allocation of risks F8.appropriate allocation of interests F9.clear definition of responsibilities
Degree of Relationship between CSFs Reachability Matrix
Degree of Relationship between CSFs F10.systematic methodologies to carefully monitor the innovation process
Degree of Relationship between CSFs F11.establishment and communication of conflict resolving strategy F12.clear identification of user need F13.responsiveness to internal and external changes F17 .formulating strategies to transfer knowledge of the innovation project to the business project
Degree of Relationship between CSFs F1-9.contract- and trust-based partnership F18.presence of integration champions
Degree of Relationship between CSFs F14.owner’s involvement and leadership F15. top management commitment F16.strategic importance of the innovation project F19.building a strict incentive system F20.external support F21.organizational culture for effective and on-going learning and innovation
Conclusion and future research Conclusions • Identification of 21 CSFs for technological innovation in construction projects • Establishing a hierarchical order for prioritization and consequent action for the decision-making of technological innovation in construction projects • The vital CSFs in innovation projects of construction project: • ◦external support • ◦owner’s involvement and leadership • ◦top management commitment • ◦strategic importance of the innovation project
Conclusion and future research Future research
