Risk management is an important element for successful management of overseas construction projects. This study reports a case study in which we proposed a risk management planning and procedure for plant construction which can be applied throughout the project life cycle. We analyzed the risk management practices of Korean construction companies by applying the concept of the PRINCE2 method developed in the UK, and proposed a risk management planning and procedure with organizational structure and working process. The suggested risk management planning and procedure was applied to an overseas plant construction project, and produced good results. It is believed that the procedure suggested here can also be aplied to other companies to enhance the competency in the global construction market.

Korean construction companies first advanced to the international markets in 1960's and so far have brought more than 4,900 projects which account for 193 billion dollars approximately. With the large increase of national employment and income being followed by the achievement, Korea's construction industry has made an enormous contribution to the improvement of domestic economy for the last 40 years. However, recently the increased risk in international markets as well as the sharpening competition with foreign companies promising in terms of advanced technologies and low labor cost have been driving Korean construction away from the market shares. According to ENR (Engineering News Record, 1994~2003), it is revealed that 15.1% of top 225 global contractors are suffering from loss in international construction markets. This phenomenon is largely due to the highly uncertain characteristics of international projects, which are inherently exposed to various and complicated risky situations. Furthermore, especially for Korean construction companies, it is often the case that the failure in an international construction project cannot be offset by even a sufficient number of successful domestic achievements. Therefore, not only the selective screening among the nominated projects which have strong possibility of collapse but the systematic strategies for controlling potential risk factors are also considered indispensable in international construction portfolio management. The purpose of this study is to first analyze the causal relationships of the profit-influencing variables and the project success, and develop the profitability forecasting model in international construction projects.

Overseas construction project orders have shown steady increase since 2001, and it took 44.5% of the total construction project orders in 2010. Overseas construction project needs more complex risk management because it is affected by more various circumstance factors than the domestic construction is. Previous studies have centered on the internal risk factors to assist the decision-making, but there are few researches on the importance and techniques of foreign exchange risk management. Inadequate management of foreign exchange risk has been found to cause huge damages due to the lacking recognition on the importance of foreign exchange risk management. Therefore, current study designed a foreign exchange risk manage model to help efficient management and decision-making. This model was developed as a technique to meet the demand of the increasing overseas construction projects for the efficient management of foreign exchange risk, and the technique will lower the risk with more and more accurate outcome by accumulating the data of profit-and-loss.

In the construction industry, bidding competitiveness is the most basic and important competence of the company. Bidding competitiveness comes from competitive advantage, but the strategy of the company to capture bidding competitiveness varies with the characteristics of the project. In particular, overseas construction is where uniqueness of the construction industry and the specificity of international business coexist. This study analyzes the bidding success ratio and the level of bidding difficulty by project characteristics with 12,952 overseas construction bidding cases. Consequently, it was found that the bidding success ratio of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and civil engineering was the lowest in each group of project characteristics, and therefore the level of bidding difficulty is high, respectively. In addition, it was confirmed that the bidding success ratio of small size or short duration project was relatively high, and the bidding success ratio of both the negotiated bidding in the bidding method group and the private sector in the client type group was respectively high. However, Kruskal-Wallis test in contract type and period shows that there is no statistically significant difference in the bidding success ratio by group.

세계적인 경기침체 상황이 지속되는 가운데 2009년 상반기 해외건설 수주가 131억불로 마감되었다. 상반기 수주가 급감한 것으로 보이는 것은 기저효과(base effect)라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 지난 2년간 해외건설 수주가 가파르게 상승한 나머지 실제로는 올해 실적이 양호한 수준임에도 불구하고 극히 저조한 것처럼 나타나는 것이다. 2009년 상반기 해외건설 수주금액도 131억불 수준에 그쳤지만, 최근 유가 반등세가 지속되고 있어 중동지역을 중심으로 해외건설 경기회복에 대한 기대감이 높아지고 있다. 경기침체로 인한 불확실성으로 인해 수주전망이 어느 때보다 어려운 상황이지만 최근 유가가 배럴당 70불대를 상회하는 등 중동지역을 중심으로 프로젝트 발주 여건이 개선되고 있고 우리 업체들도 해외진출을 적극 추진하고 있어 하반기 수주금액은 상반기에 비해 높을 것으로 예상된다.

Current global construction market has grown at a dramatic expansion rate every year in connection with more market accessibility by foreign contractors. The market openness is largely due to globalization of world construction markets, rapid development of world-wide telecommunication technologies, the formation of collaborative acquisitions and joint ventures among contractors, development of regional Free Trade Blocks, and just name a few. This paper focuses on the formation of collaborative networks when expanding into new foreign markets. The social network analysis (SNA) is introduced to investigate a variety of the collaboration patterns and also their impacts on the performance. To this end, the collaboration cases of 600 international construction projects performed by Korean contractors since 1990 were collected and classified into firm's size, project types, collaboration modes, and performance levels using social network analysis. The results showed a direction in establishing business strategy associated with experienced or inexperienced contractors in international construction projects.

Recently, international plants construction markets are expending. Specially, oil/gas plants constructions in Middle-East are booming. However, international plants construction projects are high risky. So a risk assessments and managements methodology for international plants construction is needed. In this study, the risk assessment methodology for international plants construction is proposed on the basis of the literature review in the international construction risk assessment methods and the knowledge of experts explored by interview. In addition, case study in Middle East was applied for reviewing these risk assessments and managements methodology for international plants construction.

Due to a significant decrease in the number of construction projects in the domestic market of Korea, overseas expansion of the Korean construction companies has been accelerated in recent years. However, the practice of bidding at a low price and lacking information about foreign new markets caused many companies to fail in their entries to these markets. As a measure to prevent such failures, this study has developed a framework which first defines the key research items that must be identified beforehand and then classifies them into a structured way so that the construction companies can actually use this framework to be better prepared for their forays into the new markets. The framework was actually applied for a construction project in Morocco, and its usefulness was proven by the user's successful participation into the project, nevertheless the application and result was limited. Although perhaps this framework should be applied to many more construction projects for its validity to be verified and for its structure to be better standardized, the framework still has its value due to the following two reasons: first, it has systemized the research items that had been only conceptually defined but had never been organized, and second it can be utilized as a investigation tool at the marketing stage.

러시아는 국영 원전 회사 Rosatom을 앞세워 전 세계 여러 나라의 원전 시장을 공략하려는 계획을 세우고 있다. Rosatom은 자국 내의 원전 시장을 석권하고 이제는 그 활동 무대를 해외로 넓혀가기 시작하여 현재 12개가 넘는 나라에서 원전 19곳의 건설 프로젝트를 진행하고 있다. 어떤 기준으로 봐도 19곳이나 되는 원전 건설 프로젝트의 숫자는 대단히 의미가 있다.
