大型基础设施项目的特点是投资巨大，技术和组织方面的巨大复杂性以及广泛的创新。创新成果已被广泛调查，在业主/经营者和项目为基础的公司/供应商的水平（两者结合简称为“公司级”），与项目级的研究少得多，同时研究公司和项目创新是一个知识差距。以中国基础设施特大型项目为例，同时从企业和项目两个层面确定了基础设施特大型项目的创新产出测度，并考察了它们之间的关系。本文采用了混合方法的方法，利用解释结构模型（ISM）和矩阵的交叉影响乘法分析。该模型推导出22个创新成果的措施，分为五个层次，描述业主级，制造商级和项目级的基础设施巨型项目的创新。5项措施具有最大的驱动力：1）创造或改进施工技术，2）创造或改进施工过程，3）创造新的施工标准，4）创造或改进合同形式，5）创造或改进财务安排。研究结果可以帮助研究人员和从业人员更好地了解如何在基础设施大型项目中评估和管理公司层面和项目层面的创新。
Infrastructure megaprojects are characterised by huge investment, vast complexity in technical and organisational terms, and extensive innovation. Innovation outcomes have been extensively investigated at the owner/ operator and project-based firm/supplier levels (both combined shortly named 'firm-level'), with the projectlevel being far less studied and the simultaneously study of firm and project innovation being a knowledge gap. Considering the case of infrastructure megaprojects in China, this paper identifies infrastructure megaprojects' innovation outcome measures at both the firm-level and project-level simultaneously and investigates their relationships. This paper employs a mixed-method approach leveraging interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and the matrix of cross-impact multiplications analysis. The model derives 22 innovation outcome measures, divided into five hierarchy levels, describing owner-level, supplier-level, and project-level innovation in infrastructure megaprojects. Five measures have the greatest driving power: 1) Creation or improvement in construction technology, 2) Creation or improvement in the construction process, 3) Creation of new construction standards, 4) Creation or improvement of contract form, and 5) Creation or improvement in financial arrangements. The results can help researchers and practitioners better understand how to evaluate and manage innovations at both the firm-level and project-level in infrastructure megaprojects.
