In the report "Construct for Excellence" of the Construction Industry Review Committee in January 2001, it indicated innovation implementation is required to deliver quality products in order to support the further development of our economy and to provide a better living environment for the population. Although some leading clients and construction organizations are increasingly encouraging learning and innovation within projects and seeking to make use of the process to gain competitive advantage, unfortunately, diffusion is very slow. Apart from the inherent factors of construction industry making it difficult to diffuse, Hong Kong's research into innovation was found to be lacking. Although this is a landmark development in construction, innovations introduced in the industry are rarely examined and evaluated in order to help provide strategic direction for the organizations involved or future projects. My research probably is one of the few attempt, through survey in case study to explore an overview of the status of innovation implementation in the Hong Kong construction industry. It was found that the innovation concept is not something new and there are actually some good practices of implementation in the local industry. This research presents an introduction to common types of innovation and their application to the construction industry through a review of the practices introduced in the development of Three Pacific Place, a prominent commercial building in Page 1 central Hong Kong. After close examination, some managerial concepts in strategic implementation were found commonly being practiced locally while some concepts were less applicable. Some major barriers to the implementation of innovation in the local context were also identified and evaluated in the research. I hope my findings in my dissertation can provide useful insights on the innovation that any organization, not simply those in the construction industry, can implement so as to improve performance in innovation implementation in project-based industry.

The transform is mainly due to a declining property market, fierce competition, higher quality requirement, more complicated design and thus a lower profit margin business environment. Both the local authorities and construction organizations therefore have begun to find their ways to make the industry more effective and efficient. One of the current popular 'topic' is about innovation and how it can be a solution to the mentioned. This issue inspired me a lot and so I have attempted to learn how an innovation is brought about. For this, Tatum's articles (1984, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1992) gave me a sound base in order to develop the model suggested in this research. The model not only shows the significant characteristic of an organization, which is formed by a group of individuals, but also presents what organizational elements (or factors) contribute at different stages of an innovation fostering process. The factors include: organic oriented organizational structure, external oriented culture, cooperative climate, advanced communication system, high quality concern etc.. Furthermore, the process suggested is in a Goal, Attitude, Behavior, Performance and Outcome (GABPO) form, which should be more suitable for management purpose. Tn addition, I have found literally tb*1 ir DEGREESportarit function ujustice' in changing people's attitude to cater innovation fostering. Moreover, the procedural justice should be useful in our Chinese society where is characterized by a hierarchical social structure with a chief concern with personal relationship. The research results also supported the literature findings as mentioned. Except the factors of 'culture' and 'structure', all factors were positively correlated to the innovation status. That means the argued contextual arrangement should be reliable. Particularly, the significance of 'procedural justice' was confirmed, as it had the highest correlation figure with innovation status under examination. However, as the respondents were mainly working in contractor firms, the argued model may not be generalized and applied to other types of organization, e.g. developer and consultant firms. This allows area for future research. 111 DOI: 10.5353/th_b3025322 Subjects: Construction industry - China - Hong Kong - Management Creative ability in business - China - Hong Kong Strategic planning - China - Hong Kong
