摘要：
This article examines innovation in megaprojects and the way in which project complexity plays a role in innovation. Megaprojects are experiencing increasing levels of innovation as a means to deal with complexity and to improve the delivery of megaprojects. So far, the relation between innovation and project complexity is under-explored in the megaproject management literature. Based on a crosscase study of two megaprojects, the paper critically evaluates the dimensions of innovation and the relation with project complexity. It also reveals interactions between innovation dimensions. Project complexity is considered a contingency factor in the influence of innovation on project performance. Policy recommendations include evaluating the adoption of innovation against a reduction of complexity, and improving integration of innovation in the planning of megaprojects.
