Lean Construction / Innovation Management

Dr. Wafai received an Internal Grant for Research to develop a conceptual framework to examine the relationships between management innovation and firm competitive advantages.

The research aims at exploring the intricate relationships between management innovation, technological innovation, and firm competitive advantages defined as the ability to upgrade within global value chains (GVCs). The research will be based on a conceptual framework, which I developed in 2019, and will present it in ICITEE Conference in Nov 2019. The research will involve collecting and analyzing sample empirical data to support the developed conceptual framework.
