| dc.description | Abstract: The study of innovation diffusion is said to be lacking for construction sector, and the low innovation level experienced in this industry warrants more studies to be done. Accordingly, the diffusion process needs to be examined and influencing factors identified because the economic benefits of construction innovations can only be realized if they are successfully diffused and adopted by potential end users. The objective of this study was to develop a conceptual model to guide the investigation of construction innovation diffusion. The frameworks developed by Roger and Brown were reviewed, beside latest research literature on construction innovations. A conceptual model was developed based largely on Brown’s framework on adopter’s behavior, and incorporating peculiar characteristics of construction industry. Measuring the economic success of innovation using the extent of diffusion as the dependent variable, the model consisted of ten independent factors grouped under four constructs: innovation attributes industry characteristics, adopter innovative characteristics and environmental interventions. Further empirical study is proposed using this model, which will benefit the homegrown innovation developers in construction industry. | |
