Abstract
It is well known that organizations can gain competitive merit by effectively managing today and creating innovation for tomorrow. Innovation is considered an essential element for the development of organizations, and its performance should be evaluated for effective management. To support a better assessment of innovation performance in the construction industry, a set of nine customized innovation performance indicators are established by the triangulation approach through integrating expert consultations and systematic literature review. An evaluation framework and the relative importance of the nine indicators are established on the basis of the fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process. Differences in relative weightings are seen between China and North America, which results in varying approaches when applying innovation in the two regions. In addition, different stakeholders in the construction industry approach innovation with subtle differences due to their differential attention. The attention-based view and innovation-based view have been adopted to elaborate the attention and the transformation of the innovation process. This research provides a view on innovation management in the construction industry with the support of customized innovation performance indicators and conceptual models on innovation transformation flow; and a study on how regional context and discipline of work affect practitioners' perspective on innovation performance.
