Synopsis:
Miozzo and Dewick, lecturers in innovation studies and technology management, respectively, at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, UK, deal with questions in innovation research and present new evidence on factors which shape innovation in construction, drawing on extensive interviews with construction firms across Europe. They suggest that particular structures of ownership, management, and inter-organizational relations are responsible for variations in the economic performance of the construction industry in five European countries.
