Abstract: This chapter examines the effect of stakeholder integration on open innovation in the context of sustainable construction projects. The purpose of the research was driven by the noticeable lack of empirical studies relating these aspects and the continuous pressure on the construction sector to keep up with the competitiveness in the market as nations have raised their awareness of sustainable development, globally. A conceptual framework was developed reflecting the notion of stakeholder integration and its effect on innovation in construction. A constructivist qualitative approach was used for empirical testing and analysis of the framework. The analysis results clarified that stakeholder integration is highly induced by leadership and these two aspects influence the identity of the team and their perception about the innovation, which collectively affect the effectiveness of the innovation. The conceptual framework can assist construction firms and projects with diagnosing the contextual conditions of their innovation practices.
