The Role of Co-Creation in Enhancing Explorative and Exploitative Learning in Project-Based Settings

Abstract

Exploration and Exploitation in Construction Construction projects are complex and uncertain endeavors that require explorative intra-project learning to handle development and adaptation challenges during project execution (Eriksson, 2013). Furthermore, the systemic nature of construction innovation and technology development requires coordination of many interdependent Co-creation in Project-Based Settings

Front-end value co-creation in housing development projects

“…This is an example of construction clients engaging in a value co-creation process with a local authority and other construction clients, as opposed to upstream suppliers explored in previous studies (e.g. Liu et al 2014;Eriksson et al 2016). The findings illustrate how a common understanding of project objectives must first be constructed between actors with different interests and goals and that project objectives are developed in a process over time (Karrbom Gustavsson and Hallin 2015).…”

“…A growing stream of literature provides examples of co-creation processes found in construction projects, although these studies are still relatively scarce (Smyth et al 2016). For example, several studies have explored co-creation processes that take place between clients and contractors (Jacobsson and Roth 2014;Liu et al 2014;Eriksson et al 2016). However, the general co-creation literature lacks research on programmes (N€ asholm and Blonquist 2015).…”

“…In recent years, the concept of value co-creation has been gaining some traction in the construction management literature (e.g. Jacobsson and Roth 2014;Liu et al 2014;Eriksson et al 2016;Mills and Razmdoost 2016;Fuentes 2019). These studies have explored value co-creation processes between clients and upstream suppliers (e.g.…”

“…These studies have explored value co-creation processes between clients and upstream suppliers (e.g. Jacobsson and Roth 2014;Liu et al 2014;Eriksson et al 2016), and with end-users (Fuentes 2019) during the design and production phases of construction projects. Much attention is given to construction clients and their ability to drive change and innovation, even though they are typically considered to be risk averse, and have difficulties turning external knowledge into actual transformation, acting as barriers to innovation (Ivory 2005;Davies et al 2014;Lindblad and Karrbom Gustavsson 2020).…”

Assimilação de tecnologia digital no gerenciamento de ativos em projetos complexos

“…Os projetos de infraestrutura são frequentemente executados com foco no controle, com o planejamento e monitoramento rigorosos, e com o objetivo de minimizar as mudanças . Contudo, grandes projetos de infraestrutura convivem com mudanças decorrentes de clima, de geologia, alterações de escopo e requisitos do cliente (ERIKSSON; LEIRINGER;SZENTES, 2017).…”
