Abstract

ABSTRACTGovernments around the world are increasingly using megaprojects to deliver services to communities. However, most megaprojects fail; they are delivered late, with significant cost overruns and/or diluted benefits. Researchers have suggested implementing open innovation (OI) to improve megaproject performance. However, implementing OI requires an organization to build new capabilities. This study contributes to the literature on megaprojects by adapting the dynamic capabilities concept to develop a theoretical framework for implementing OI. A combination of a literature review and expert judgement was used to extract twenty-nine elements that are the micro-foundations of the capability to implement OI in megaprojects. A grey number theory-based mathematical model was developed to measure and objectively monitor the OI implementation index (O3I) for megaprojects. This study presents a case study that indicates the ease of implementation of the developed model and its transferability to other megaprojects across domains. This study intersects three areas of inquiry: megaproject management, OI, and dynamic capabilities and makes two key contributions to the growing body of knowledge in megaproject management: (1) we adapt the dynamic capabilities concept to develop a framework to implement OI in megaprojects and (2) we develop a scale to qualitatively assess the level of OI implementation in an organization.KEYWORDS: Project managementDynamic capabilities‌megaprojectstrategic managementopen innovation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

大型项目如何构建开放式创新能力?

摘要世界各国政府越来越多地使用大型项目为社区提供服务。然而，大多数大型项目都失败了;它们交付较晚，成本严重超支和/或收益被稀释。研究人员建议实施开放式创新(OI)来提高大型项目的绩效。然而，实现OI需要组织构建新的功能。本研究通过采用动态能力概念来开发实现OI的理论框架，为大型项目的文献做出了贡献。文献回顾和专家判断的结合被用来提取29个元素，这些元素是在大型项目中实现OI的能力的微观基础。建立了一种基于灰数理论的数学模型，以测量和客观地监控大型项目的OI实施指数(O3I)。本研究提出了一个案例研究，表明开发的模型易于实现，并可跨领域转移到其他大型项目。本研究交叉了三个调查领域:大型项目管理、OI和动态能力，并对大型项目管理中不断增长的知识体系做出了两个关键贡献:(1)我们采用动态能力概念来开发一个框架，以在大型项目中实施OI;(2)我们开发了一个尺度，以定性地评估组织中OI实施的水平。关键词:项目管理动态能力大型项目战略管理开放式创新披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

期刊介绍： conomic development and growth depend as much on social innovations as on technological advances. However, the discourse has often been confined to technological innovations in the industrial sector, with insufficient attention being paid to institutional and organisational change and to the informal sector which in some countries in the South plays a significant role. Innovation and Development is an interdisciplinary journal that adopts a broad approach to the study of innovation, in all sectors of the economy and sections of society, furthering understanding of the multidimensional process of innovation and development. It provides a forum for the discussion of issues pertaining to innovation, development and their interaction, both in the developed and developing world, with the aim of encouraging sustainable and inclusive growth. The journal encourages articles that approach the problem broadly in line with innovation system perspective focusing on the evolutionary and institutional structure of innovation and development. This focus cuts across the disciplines of Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Science and Technology Policy, Geography and Development Practice. In a section entitled Innovation in Practice, the journal includes short reports on innovative experiments with proven development impact with a view to encouraging scholars to undertake systematic inquiries on such experiments. Brief abstracts of degree awarded PhD theses in the broad area of concern for the journal and brief notes which highlight innovative ways of using internet resources and new databases or software are also published.
