Aimed at practitioners, students and researchers in management and construction, this text sets out an integrated and holistic approach to the management of innovation in construction. Through a detailed study of the industry operating system, it examines the influence of the regulatory framework and the institutional context on innovation in construction. It shows that the industry is responding to the changes associated with post-Fordism and globalisation through the adoption of project management, partnering and supply chain management. The key elements of these innovations are explained and their implementation by construction evaluated. Includes case studies.
