Where to Find Research on Innovation in Custom Machinery & Plant Building?

You're right, it's a unique beast! The key is to search for literature on "engineering-to-order (ETO)" and "project-based innovation." Focus on journals like International Journal of Project Management and Research Policy. Look for articles that dive into managing innovation within temporary organizations, integrating knowledge across teams for a single project, and how to collaborate effectively with the client during the design phase.
