Abstract
This paper discusses how a company stimulates innovations
by suppliers in infrastructure construction by using an
alliance model. In this industry, the designers and
contractors have traditionally worked separately, and
projects have been precisely defined in advance.
Construction projects that use an alliance model excel in
terms of costs, profit, improved solutions, and total
cost of ownership. In this paper we show how open
communication, shared targets, responsibilities and
profits, and interactive ways of working enhance idea and
innovation generation, and enable the change from
competition-oriented to collaboration-oriented mode of
operation.
