SNA-Based Project Clusters for Construction Companies’ Synergistic Influences Analysis
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
In order to improve the efficiency of the collaborative management of project groups in construction enterprises and to investigate the key factors and mechanisms affecting the synergy of project groups in construction enterprises, based on the literature review, the factors affecting the collaborative innovation of project groups were sorted out and a social network analysis model was constructed by combining the characteristics of project groups; data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed by using Ucinet6 software. The results of the study show that inter-project relatedness, shared values, and resource sharing are the key influencing factors, and propose countermeasures to promote multi-entity synergy in three aspects: improving resource sharing, formulating a reasonable management system, and prioritising projects according to inter-project relatedness and other factors, which provide theoretical reference and reference for enterprises to improve the synergy ability of project group management.
