Knowledge has been one of the key factors influencing the companies' competitive power. Domestic construction industries have introduced Knowledge Management from 1990s around major construction companies. However, construction organizations have recently give a skeptical response about Knowledge Management. The existing Knowledge Management in construction industries does not satisfy the demands of workers. Furthermore it makes workers do double business. Therefore, this study investigates the workers' satisfaction of Knowledge Management, and becomes the preliminary study to suggest how to improve Construction Knowledge Management.

Emerging trends regarding USFK(United States Forces, Korea)'s EC(Engineering/Construction) market include: (1) introduction of MATOC(Multiple Award Task Order Contract); (2) increase of DB(Design-Build) contract; and (3) encroachment of large US-origin private EC firms upon Korea. This study analyzes the change of USFK's EC market with focus on the change of construction management actors for USFK's EC projects. Specifically, USFK's EC projects have been managed by FED(Far East District). Recently, however, the large US private EC companies substitute the role previously taken by FED. This phenomenon is accelerated by the business chances in Korea due to LPP(Land Partnership Plan) and intentions of US Government to save military construction costs by means of utilizing US private EC companies. The large US EC firms entering into Korea are business opportunities as well as challenges to Korean EC firms, which are contracting USFK's EC projects. This study concludes that, through teaming joint venture with the large US EC firms, the market changes can be opportunities to acquire foreign market information and learn advanced construction management skill from them.

요즘 매스컴에서 건설회사 도산 및 부실 등에 대한 보도가 많아지고 있다. 98년 말부터 우려해 오던 건설산업 구조조정이 한창 진행 중에 있으며, 2000년 7월말 현재 100대 건설사중 37개사가 법정관리, 화의, 워크아웃 상태이며, 이후 대형건설업체의 계속되는 부도 등 부실화로 인한 퇴출이 더욱 가속되고 있는 상황이다. 이렇게 건설 회사들이 부실화가 된 원인을 살펴보면, 공사 발주물량은 97년 대비 70{\%}대에 머물고 있는 반면 건설업체 수는 오히려 $60{\%} 정도 증가해 업체별 평균 수주액이 급감하였고, 이에 따라 업체들의 과당 출혈 경쟁으로 수익성이 악화되고 말았다. 그러나 이러한 건설업의 어려운 환경에서도 고려개발(주)는 2000년 당기순이익 176억원 등 ‘89년 이후 12년 동안 순익을 내고 있으며, IMF가 한창이던 98년부터 2000년까지 약 1조2천억원의 수주고를 달성하였다. 또한 2000년 부채비율 $146{\%}$, 자기자본비율 $41{\%}$, 자기자본순이익율 $14{\%}$로 선진건설업체 수준의 재무비율을 확보하여 경영평가 1위를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 원인을 고려개발(주)는 건설산업의 구조조정에서 살아남을 수 있는 해결책은 정보화라고 판단하여 지난 ’95년부터 꾸준히 사내 정보화 정착에 전력하고 있다.
