Factors and Mechanism of Technology Innovation in Railway Construction Projects
Further understanding and study on the mechanism and law of technological innovation are required for large scale railway construction .Document research ,case study and semi‐structural interviews were done to to analyze the factors affecting the technological innovation of railway projects and their relationship ,and to put forward the research hypotheses of these factors acting on performance . After all the parties in the technol‐ogy innovation activities were treated as questionnaire survey targets , the empirical study of collected samples was carried out with factor analysis and structural equation modeling methods . The results showed that the factors of project requirements , innovation environment , resources and management had a marked effect on the technology innovation performance in railway construction projects . In technology innovation process , project requirements were the driving force while the innovation environment was a moderator ,with the inno‐vation resources serving a fundamental role , and the innovation management pushing forward technology inno‐vation .Based on these , the conceptual model of the innovation mechanism in railway construction projects was concluded and put forward ,and some suggestions were provided .
