Construction firms have long sought success in the global construction market through diversifying revenue sources and project portfolios. The volume of international contracts has contributed to firms' sustained growth by mitigating the impact of the domestic market's cyclical nature. In spite of the importance of international construction, the uncertainty and dynamic changes surrounding global construction pose serious threats to global contactors. Over the last decade, the international construction industry has changed drastically in many ways, particularly including financial resource diversity, competition rules for the selection of contractors, and the terms of delivery systems requiring more competent total service providers. This paper investigates the important changes for global contractors through various documentation analysis as well as in-depth interviews with industry experts. This paper then analyzes the common strategies and lessons obtained from the cases of leading global contractors that have sustained their growth in the competitive global construction during the last decade. In addition, the authors further analyzed the comparisons between those firms and Korean contractors to discern any difference in sustaining their growth in the competitive market. It was found that those leading firms were quite proactive and responsive to changing markets by diversifying their market revenues to stabilize their revenue structure and enhancing their competency through a wide range of 'business convergence'. In addition, they significantly increased their upstream/downstream functional capabilities; hence becoming more competent service providers, able to grow in these rapidly changing market conditions. Finally, this paper benchmarks the critical strategies that support growth, which in turn can provide a strategic guideline for expansion into the global construction market.

The Construction Engineering Industry (CEI) is construction field based on professional knowledge, staff and information service, and is distinguished by construction activity. The contemporary CEI market has extended globally and diversified construction work classifications. International construction engineering companies now have an important economic and social effect. Over the last five years (2009 to 2013), the top-200 global engineering firms reported global revenue that grew from 54.4 billion to 71.5 billion, about 27% growth (ENR, 2014). Countries such as the U.S.A., Canada, those in Europe (Several developed countries, i.e., United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Spain, France, Italy, and Spain), Australia, Japan, China, and Korea comprise the bulk of world construction engineering revenue. Although the construction engineering market continues to grow, much of the work is limited to Europe, mid-Asia, and Asia. Additionally, specific construction types are focused on building projects, industrial plants, and refining plants. As such, there are imbalances in the construction engineering market and some market saturation. Further, there is heavy competition and the construction engineering market may shrink in the future. This paper analyzed various factors affecting the construction engineering market, specifically looking at construction classifications and factors related to a global market. To accomplish this, we collected to data from Engineering News Record (ENR) and recast each variable. And we used nonparametric statistics because the number of cases were small, making it difficult to assume a case's population parameter. Then we tested with the Kruskal-Wallis test and drew results. The results indicate that concentration in particular construction types and extending global regional markets will be have a positive effect on the overall global construction engineering market..

Korea's domestic construction market and overseas construction order environment are experiencing a decreasing trend, and this trend is expected to continue. Therefore, domestic construction companies are seeking to enter the global construction market. This study analyzes the global construction market and the global competitiveness for global construction companies and provides the results. To this end, this study has developed a model to evaluate the global construction competitiveness level and to evaluated global construction competitiveness in 2016. The evaluation of global construction competitiveness was analyzed based on the competitiveness of construction infrastructure by country, and the evaluation results of competitiveness of construction companies. These assessments were based on 20 detailed international statistics (ENR, Global Insight, Compass, etc.). The evaluation results are as follows. First, in regard to the comprehensive global construction competitiveness by country, America ranked first among 20 countries, followed by China. European countries like Spain, Germany and the Netherlands ranked third to fifth, respectively. Korea ranked sixth, one rank higher than that of the previous year. America and European countries remain strong. Second, in regard to the comprehensive building infrastructure competitiveness by country, America ranked first followed by Germany. Korea ranked twelfth, which is the same rank as that of the previous year. When it comes to stability in the construction market, China ranked first and Korea eighth. For construction systems, Sweden ranked first and Korea thirteenth, and for infrastructure, Japan ranked first and Korea tenth. Third, according to the construction company's capability evaluation by country, America ranked first followed by China. Korea ranked fourth, two ranks higher than that of the previous year because of its building competitiveness (fifth → fourth) and design competitiveness (eleventh → eighth) which has improved. When it comes to building competitiveness, China ranked first and Korea fourth. For design competitiveness, America ranked first and Korea eighth, and for price competitiveness, India ranked first and Korea seventh. However, Korea is still in the middle of the pack rank among the 20 countries considered when it comes to design competitiveness. It is ranked eleventh for design productivity and thirteenth for foreign sales against the total sales (internationalization). Thus, Korea needs to improve technical power and tap into new markets for improved competitiveness, including increased productivity. To do so, more R&D investment is required.

The dynamic nature of the A/E/C industry, rapidly changing global market environments, and lowest cost competitive bidding make it difficult to survive in global design markets. To understand the global design markets, a case study has been undertaken. The top 150 global design firms represented in the ENR (Engineering News Record) from 1995 to 2003 are classified into three groups for the case study. First group is the firms which advanced in rank from 1995. Second group is the firms which maintained its rank from 1994 until 2003. Third group is the firms which went down in rank from 1995 until 2003. However, finding key factors and changing business strategies of successful top design firms are the fundamental goals in this paper. After examinations of case studies, this paper concludes and suggests that professionalization, M&A strategies, patrons of the government, and academic support are needed to be successful in the global design & engineering industry.

국내 건설 및 엔지니어링 산업은 국내 SOC 예산의 감소, 복지에 대한 관심의 증가, 건설산업에 대한 국민적 피로도가 상승함에 따라 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 상황이다. 반면, IMF 위기를 전후로 주춤하였던 건설산업의 해외진출은 누적수주액 5000억불을 달성하는 괄목할 만한 외형적인 성장을 이루었다. 이러한 어려운 국내 시장상황과 상대적 해외 시장의 활황으로 인하여 많은 건설관련 업체들은 해외 진출을 위한 부단한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 해외건설시장은 외형적인 성장에도 불구하고, 대기업 위주의 진출, 시공/엔지니어링의 불균형, 등 여러가지 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 해외건설 진출을 위한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 해외진출에 필요한 실질적인 역량 강화 대안의 도출을 시도하였으며, 특히 시공/엔지니어링 간의 요구역량 차이의 분석을 시도하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 외 거시적 미시적 현황분석 및 문헌조사를 통해 해외 진출을 위한 핵심역량을 도출하는데 있다. 또한, 도출된 핵심역량을 실무자 중심의 설문을 기반으로 역량별 중요도와 현재 보유 역량의 정도를 파악하는 IPA 분석 및 GAP분석을 통하여 해외진출 핵심역량요소에 대한 심층적 분석을 시도하였다. 실무자 설문 분석 결과 우선강화역량 부분에서는 시공 분야와 엔지니어링 분야는 그 우선순위의 차이는 존재하나, 필요한 해외 진출 역량의 종류나 실천과제에 있어서의 확연한 차이를 보이지 않고 있으며 이는 해외시장에서 엔지니어링과 시공사의 업무범위가 점점 넓어지고 있다는 의미로 해석된다. 하지만 중장기 적 역량강화 부분에서는 엔지니어링 분야는 자금조달 및 사업관리 영역에 집중되는 모습을 보여주었고, 시공 분야 기존 기술분야에서 탈피할 수 있는 역량을 강화할 필요가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 글로벌 해외건설 시장에서의 설계/시공의 업역간의 통합화 움직임을 반증한다고 추정할 수 있을 것이다.
