QCA was applied as an umbrella approach in which literature study, interviews, and a questionnaire were put to use to gain data on four input conditions: BVP, competition between bidders, risk transfer, and penalties. The research identified no necessary or sufficient conditions leading to the occurrence or absence of innovation. Two pathways lead to innovation, but could not be minimized and are thus complex of nature. Two minimized pathways lead to the absence of innovation. One of the two could not be completely accounted to the identified pathway but more to the tender process set up. The second pathway, ~risk*penal → ~innovation, is considered to be the main finding is term of practical usefulness. date: 2019 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: Verweij, S. tutors_name: Leendertse, W.
