Abstract. In order to improve the efficiency of innovation, the process of technology innovation has caused the attention of experts and scholars day by day. But in the process of technology innovation, the research on the extraction and classification of innovation elements needs to be further specific and systematic. Based on the full research on the innovation activities and innovation elements in many innovative fields, this paper elaborates the general process of the formation of innovation principle, and clusters innovation elements in many fields to form nine innovation dimensions, and then segments each innovation dimension into several sub dimensions of innovation. This paper aims to provide theoretical support for the research of innovative methods, and provide help for improving the quality and efficiency of innovation.

“…Furthermore, noting that SCs have characteristics of small‐world structures in network theory, Kodama (, p. 469) makes the following remark. SCs are groups forming small‐world structures where practitioners in diverse specializations realize innovations aimed at solving the issues facing them and implement problem‐searching and creative strategies.…”

confidence: 99%
“…External knowledge convergence capabilities based on a boundaries vision is an enabler that creates new knowledge through the convergence of familiar knowledge with unfamiliar knowledge. In addition to the example of new business development of Fujifilm described here, examples of this phenomenon can be seen in the business transformation of Apple from the PC business to the music delivery business and mobile telephone business and, in Japan, with 7‐Eleven's and NTT DOCOMO's move into the financial services business (Kodama, ). These examples represent major shifts in horizontal boundaries through the boundaries vision of those companies.…”

By searching for 'small worlds' [37,38], they may therefore be able to search further into specialized applications of knowledge, such as new products. Nesta and Saviotti [39] use the term 'coherence' of a group´s knowledge base as a proxy for amount of knowledge integration accomplished.…”

ABSTRACTThe construction sector is often accused of being inefficient, conservative and noninnovative, although some commentators have suggested that the construction sector is not backward, it is merely different to other industries. One of these differences is the uniqueness of construction projects, which are determined by the characteristics of the site, interaction of project participants (also partly site specific) and the relationship between contractors and building product producers (which changes from one project to another). These factors are known to colour construction innovation. Previous research into the Swedish construction sector has identified a significant gap between the building product producers who are 'product focused' and the contractors who are 'project focused', with concerns expressed about effectiveness of communication between two. The findings of previous research imply, both implicitly and explicitly, that this gap may be hindering innovation within the construction sector. This appears to have implications for those concerned with construction, the building users and society as a whole. In this paper the authors provide an extensive review of the literature and research findings from which a number of unique insights are offered. The reasons for the gap between producers and contractors are discussed and a number of innovative measures are proposed that may help to bridge the gap, and hence improve innovation systems. The paper concludes with some practical findings for producers and contractors as well as some thoughts on where future research should be targeted.
INTRODUCTIONInnovation is necessary if firms, regardless of sector, are to survive and prosper in a competitive marketplace [1,2,3]. The construction sector is often portrayed as being inefficient, conservative and non-innovative; it is a constant feature within the construction literature leading to calls for doing things differently (see for example Akintoye et al., [4]. Although some have argued that the construction sector is not backward, but different, especially when compared to other industries; and this affects the context of innovation (see for example Ball [5]). One of these differences...
