Information asymmetries and technological innovation in large engineering construction projects
Article Abstract:
Research on technological innovation reveals that product introduction efforts are adversely affected by information asymmetries between buyers and suppliers. The problem, when applied to engineering construction projects, can be solved through the joint efforts of prime contractors, owners, equipment suppliers and consultants. Asymmetries can also be addressed by monitoring the decision-making process and using internal capabilities to identify solutions.
