建筑创新对于增长至关重要。该行业努力使用各种方法保持竞争力，并需要采取与经过验证的创新概念、技术和应用相关的结构化举措。即使在建筑、工程和施工 (AEC) 等成熟市场中，商业行为通常被认为是规避风险的，将创新融入主流商业实践也变得越来越重要。在《施工创新和流程改进》中，提出了来自不同国家、不同背景的施工实践中的许多广泛问题，提供了丰富的理论和实践文献。各章分为建筑创新的三大主题：理论与实践；流程驱动程序；和未来技术。提出了几个问题，例如：建筑创新在理论和实践上有何特别独特之处？建筑创新的主要驱动力是什么？需要哪些因素来支持和交付未来的建筑技术？为了回答这些问题，本书对这些挑战提供了新的视角，并为读者提供了多种前进的道路，特别是认识到全球化作用的增强、知识影响力的增强以及创新的重要性。所有这些都可以对战略决策、竞争优势以及可持续政策和实践产生重大影响。第一部分涉及变革管理、技术、可持续建设和供应链管理；第二部分讨论创新和流程改进驱动因素，包括战略管理、并行工程、风险管理、创新采购、知识管理；第三部分探讨了未来的建筑技术，特别是如何利用和利用这些技术来帮助实现创新和流程改进。
Innovation in construction is essential for growth. The industry strives to remain competitive using a variety of approaches and needs to engage structured initiatives linked to proven innovation concepts, techniques and applications. Even in mature markets like the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector, where business behaviour is generally considered as being risk averse, it is increasingly important to embed innovation into mainstream business practices. In Construction Innovation and Process Improvement a number of wide ranging issues from construction practice in different countries with different contexts are presented to provide a rich collection of literature embracing theory and practice. Chapters are divided into three broad themes of construction innovation relating to: Theory and Practice; Process Drivers; and Future Technologies. Several questions are posed, including for example: What is particularly unique about construction innovation in theory and practice? What are the major drivers of construction innovation? What factors are needed to support and deliver future construction technologies? In attempting to respond to such questions, the book sheds new light on these challenges, and provides readers with a number of ways forward, especially cognisant of the increased role of globalisation, the enhanced impact of knowledge, and importance of innovation. All these can have a significant impact on strategic decision-making, competitive advantage, and sustainable policies and practices. Part One deals with change management, technology, sustainable construction, and supply chain management; Part Two addresses innovation and process improvement drivers, including strategic management, concurrent engineering, risk management, innovative procurement, knowledge management; Part Three explores future technologies in construction – and particularly, how these can be harnessed and leveraged to help procure innovation and process improvement.
