摘要：

The purpose of this paper is to examine the strategic role of innovation to identify some of the core issues in construction management as a skeleton of integrated innovation for construction industry. Furthermore, the goal of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework describing the innovation strategy adoption process of construction management. In literature, the role of innovation is argued to be an important aspect of construction management. From this perspective, several distinct bodies of literature provide relevant insights. This paper is to integrate the findings from these bodies of literature. First, this paper structures the current knowledge on the strategic role of innovation in construction management Subsequently, the paper translates this knowledge to the context of broader construction management considerations and discusses the basis for creating an innovation strategy model. The model is a planning tool that is useful for construction managers at any stage of an innovation implementation. The paper puts forward a new perspective for implementation research in construction. By integrating various bodies of literature, this paper provides a solid base for future theory development on how firms achieve innovation strategy in construction industry.
