Love;Jane Matthews;Weili Fang","doi":"10.1109/EMR.2025.3620310","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EMR.2025.3620310","url":null,"abstract":"Errors are an inherent feature of construction work, giving rise to both adverse outcomes, such as rework and safety incidents, and positive consequences, including learning and innovation. Traditionally, the industry has adopted an error prevention mindset, often characterized by a zero-tolerance approach aimed at minimizing risk, particularly in conventionally procured projects. In contrast, relational procurement methods, such as alliancing, emphasize collaboration, trust, and a “no-blame” culture, aligning more closely with an error management mindset that views errors as opportunities for improvement. Although these two orientations are conceptually opposed, construction organizations frequently operate across diverse procurement models and must therefore navigate the tensions between them. This article presents emergent insights from a construction organization involved with delivering an AU$19.8 billion transport infrastructure program through an alliance model. We demonstrate how the organization confronted the “paradox of error” within the broader context of quality management by engaging in meta-communication—that is, <italic>communication about communication</i>—to clarify the meaning behind discussions about errors and prevent misunderstandings. The meta-communication process reinforced the value of treating errors as opportunities for learning rather than as a basis for blame, thereby fostering trust and supporting a culture consistent with the alliance's collaborative ethos. This article makes two key contributions: 1) it introduces a novel conceptualization of error through the lens of paradox theory, challenging traditional binary framings and 2) it highlights the importance of paradoxical thinking in managing error-related tensions, thereby enabling learning, innovation, and continuous improvement in complex project environments.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 2","pages":"232-241"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148518958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While RRI has gained prominence, the challenge lies in translating framework programs to everyday practices in smaller innovation environments. This is crucial because RRI aims to align scientific research with societal needs, and effective assessment is essential for its appropriation. The research question addressed is: how can UIS use reflexivity to portray their engagement with RRI? Using an action research approach, this article was conducted in a French UIS. The methodology involves qualitative methods to critically examine practices across RRI dimensions. The findings present a comprehensive portrayal of the case in terms of RRI and offer new insights into the use of reflexivity as a portrayal tool. In addition, the article highlights the hybrid governance model that this space follows, balancing collaborative ideals and institutional realities. The methodology offers two contributions. First, a flexible assessment rationale for small- and medium-sized organizations implementing RRI, addressing the limitations of indicator-based evaluations, and second, insights into governance models within innovation spaces. The implications include expanding RRI literature by demonstrating how reflexivity can operationalize and assess RRI, advocating for qualitative and context-sensitive approaches.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"91-113"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148510597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Managers must prioritize innovation in products, processes, and services while ensuring compliance with rules and maintaining operational efficiency. This dual focus creates a paradox, making it crucial to manage these competing priorities effectively to achieve sustainable performance across various dimensions. To address this, we propose the concept of synergy solutions teams (SSTs) that operate on the principle that collaborative efforts, combining the diverse strengths of individual members, achieve the best results. To that end, SSTs practice three team processes to push the boundaries of current possibilities and harness collective intelligence: first, engage in sense-making to interpret and understand complex situations, second, increase epistemic motivation for deep, accurate, and innovative problem-solving, and third, collaborate to enhance information processing. By fostering collaboration and leveraging the diverse skills, knowledge, and perspectives of team members, SSTs can create innovative, high-impact solutions that balance efficiency with innovation.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"245-252"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148507552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted online interviews between October and December 2020 with 16 individuals working in social entrepreneurship, tech startups, established companies, and nonprofit business support organizations across the U.S., Canada, Norway, and Thailand. Our findings reveal a shared commitment to four themes related to sustainable innovation postpandemic: First, thinking of local problems as global problems in the same way that innovation technologies and businesses can cause global disruptions; second, including historically underserved populations in innovation business activities, as it is also important to truly understand how technologies and innovation businesses impact the lives of people experiencing low-socioeconomic status; third, helping people in remote communities, low- and middle-income countries, and war-torn areas is essential—offering hands-on basic computing training could be an option for helping people gain employment in the digital economy; and fourth, having governments lead postpandemic sustainable innovation projects and then invite businesses to participate. In addition, this article proposes a theoretical framework for fostering innovation in resource-constrained environments following large-scale disruptions.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"36-51"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148510600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
