Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare relative efficiency Korean and Japanese construction firms over the period of 2000-2013, and to analysis relative efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This study employs DEA in analyzing of 7 Korean construction firms and 8 Japanese construction firms using 2 input and 1 output variables. The efficiency results of this study is temporarily lowered due to IT Bubble Decay and Global Financial Crisis. The efficiency of Korean construction firms from 2000-2001 is lower Japanese construction firms, but the efficiency of Korean construction firms from 2002-2013 is higher Japanese construction firms. These results mean that the management of Korean construction firms were operating more efficiently than Japanese construction firms.

본 연구는 비모수적 효율성 분석기법인 자료포락분석을 이용하여 ENR의 'Top 250 Global Contractors 2014'에 포함된 한국 7개 건설기업과 일본 8개 건설기업을 대상으로 14년간(2000년-2013년)의 효율성을 비교분석하여 한국 건설기업의 경쟁력을 평가하였다. 효율성 분석결과, 한국 건설기업은 IT버블붕괴와 글로벌 금융위기의 여파로 효율성이 일시적으로 낮아지기는 하였으나, 2006년 이후부터 2012년까지 일본 건설기업과의 효율성의 차이가 더 심해진 것으로 나타났다. 건설기업별 효율성 분석결과, 2000년에 비해 2013년 한국 건설기업의 효율성은 높아졌으나, 일본 건설기업의 경우, 낮아진 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과는 한국 건설기업은 종업원수와 매출액은 작지만 일본 건설기업보다 효율적으로 운영되고 있다는 것을 의미한다.
