Abstract: | This article explores the relationship between inter-organizational networks and innovation in the construction industry. This is analysed through detailed interviews with the largest contractors, and a number of professional institutions, representatives of government, quasi-government bodies, research institutes, arcitects and clients in five European countries. The performance of the construction industry differs widely across different countries. The results suggest that the strength of inter-organizational co-operation may be responsible for enhanced performance of the construction industry in some of the countries. |
