Description
Summary:AbstractInnovation capability is an important factor to strengthen the market competitiveness of enterprises of the construction supply chain. This study aims to explore the impact of collaborative innovation activities and building information modeling (BIM) application on innovation capability in the construction supply chain and the role of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing in their relationship. The study quantitatively evaluates the relationships among collaborative innovation activities, BIM application, explicit and tacit knowledge sharing, and innovation capability using structural equation modeling with survey data from 210 construction enterprises. The results show that collaborative innovation activities did not directly affect innovation capability but did so indirectly via tacit knowledge sharing. BIM application had a positive impact on explicit knowledge sharing and innovation capability and had no significant impact on tacit knowledge sharing. Tacit knowledge sharing played mediating role between BIM application and innovation capability, and explicit knowledge sharing played mediating role between BIM application and tacit knowledge sharing. This study provides a theoretical basis for the research of innovation management from the perspective of knowledge sharing. Moreover, this study is conducive to improving the implementation strategy of BIM application and collaborative innovation activities.
