Innovation in the Spanish Construction Sector: Identification and Analysis of Key Factors
The construction industry worldwide is not known as an innovative sector, being its level of productivity and efficiency lower than other sectors, such as manufacturing. If we focus on the Spanish construction sector, these negative characteristics are further aggravated due to the inefficient working practices of many companies; this being a common feature of the sector and a consequence of the poor levels of innovation of the companies that compose it. The objective of the presented research is to identify the key drivers and variables that foster innovation in the Spanish construction sector, through statistical analysis of data obtained from a questionnaire to the companies in the sector. Once these variables have been identified, a specific innovation model for Spanish construction companies have been developed, represented in the form of an equation, which may be used for predictive purposes.
