In these days, international construction market including construction companies has much grown due to globalization and economic boom in the mid 2000's. The size of international construction market, measured with overseas revenue of 225 construction firms, has expanded 2.7 times from 2003 to 2008 according to the ENR. However, after the global financial crisis of 2008 it has faced condition of low growth. In this research, major changes of international construction market and top contractors have been studied. In this study, changes of international construction market have been analyzed in the aspect of region and product including general buildings, transportation, petroleum, etc. Then, in order to find the changes of top contractors which obtained good accomplishment, business performance of companies have been examined by the compound annual growth rate, profit margin and international revenue by comparing the data before 2008 and after. The purpose of the study is to understand major changes of international construction market. Also, strategy changes of top contractors against market stagnation, profit depreciation, high competition have been inferred through the study. The result of the study would contribute to analyzing the strategies of construction companies in international market.

Mega-shock means a sporadic event such as the earning shock, which occurred by sudden market changes, and it can cause serious problems of profit loss of international construction projects. Therefore, the early response and prevention by analyzing and predicting the Mega-shock is critical for successful project delivery. This research is preliminary study to develop a prediction model that supports market condition analysis and Mega-shock forecasting. To avoid disadvantages of classic statistical approaches that assume the market factors are linear and independent and thus have limitations to explain complex interrelationship among a range of international market factors, the research team explored the Fractal Theory that can explain self-similarity and recursiveness of construction market changes. The research first found out correlation of the major market factors by statistically analyzing time-series data. The research then conducted a base of the Fractal analysis to distinguish features of fractal from data. The outcome will have potential to contribute to building up a foundation of the early shock warning system for the strategic international project management.

International construction market has been open to other countries, and it derives the development of our overseas construction industry quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Until now, the major companies have an absolute majority in the overseas construction market, and the small and medium enterprises have had difficulty to get a leadership in the international construction market because of the lack of the technical expertise and the capital strength. Especially in the Middle East Asia, our construction companies has touched off a boom, so our market share also has grown, which derived from the up toward ratchet oil prices and a worldwide boom in real estate development. The small and medium enterprise minority have recognition that the overseas construction market is the major company's native territory. But Data from the existing researches and many statistics indicate the most companies tend to underestimate the capacity and international competitiveness of the small and medium enterprises. As a matter of fact, hundreds of small and medium enterprise cut a conspicuous figure in overseas market. Consequently, it is indispensable to overcome the international financial crisis by revitalizing our overseas construction industry which obtains excellent results in international market. this study suggested the ways to expand overseas bonding capacity of Korean financial institution. This study proposed the Korean government to allow Construction Guarantee (former Korea Construction Financial Cooperative) to deal with foreign exchange so that Construction Guarantee will underwrite the overseas construction bond.

중소규모업체가 한 나라의 경제에서 차지하고 있는 비중과 영향력은 매우 크다. 지금까지 경제시장에서 과소평가되어 온 많은 중소규모업체들이 제조업을 중심으로 한 해외시장에서 큰 두각을 나타내면서 기존의 이러한 시각에 큰 변화를 주고 있다. 특히, 국내시장의 한계를 벗어나려는 중소규모 건설업체 입장에서 급속도로 글로벌화 되고 있는 해외건설시장에서의 발전 가능성은 매우 잠재력이 크다. 그러나 아직까지 해외건설시장에 중소규모업체의 역할은 매우 미미한 수준이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 중소규모 건설업체의 해외진출을 활성화하기 위해 가능성과 의지가 있는 중소규모 건설업체를 그룹 별로 분류하여 해외진출 활성화 방안을 각 그룹 별로 제시하고자 한다. 1996년부터 2005년까지 ENR(Engineering News Record)지에 등록된 해외 선진건설업체의 해외공사 비중을 분석하고 해외건설시장에 기 진출한 국내 건설업체의 해외공사 비중과 법적 근거를 반영하여 국내 중소규모 건설업체의 분류 기준을 새롭게 제시하였다. 마지막으로 전문가 인터뷰 방식을 실시하여 새롭게 정의된 국내 중소규모 건설업체들의 각 그룹 별 해외진출 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.

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.

Recently, Korea has achieved accumulated total value of orders of six hundred billion dollars in international construction market, and it is facing a new turning point by entering the overseas construction market. However, according to the statistics on the current internal construction market, the accumulated value of orders has been mainly obtained by plant projects in the Middle-East area. To improve international competitiveness of Korean construction industry, it is required to expand and diversify the target areas and construction business sectors. To expand markets, each construction firm should establish the expansion strategy and assess the capability which includes the strength and weakness of their firm. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the capability of the Korean construction firms for overseas expansion. Through the research, Korean construction industry is expected to strengthen competitiveness toward the overseas markets. Furthermore, this research contributes to expanding and diversifying markets for domestic construction firms.

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..

해외건설업이 국가경제에 기여하는 중추 산업임에도 불구하고, 기존의 해외건설 실적에 관한 연구는 단편적인 동향이나 특정 시점의 시장 점유율을 분석하는데 집중해왔다. 해외건설업은 프로젝트 기반산업으로 분절적이고(fragmented), 여러 다른 업체로 구성되며(heterogeneous), 업황에 따라 시장 구조가 역동적으로 변화하는(dynamic) 특성을 가지고 있어 특정 시점에 대한 정태적 분석과 함께 동태적 시장 변화의 고려가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2017년까지 국내 건설기업이 계약을 체결한 9,173건의 프로젝트 정보를 활용하여 우리나라 해외건설 계약실적 구조를 분석하였다. 산업 차원의 실적정보를 정태적(시장 집중도), 동태적(시장 이동성 및 불안정성)으로 구분하여 분석하였으며, 구체적인 방법론을 기술하였다. 분석 결과, 정태적 측면에서는 국내 건설기업의 해외건설 경쟁구도가 최근 더욱 치열해지고 있으며, 동태적 측면에서는 주요 지역 및 공종을 제외한 대부분의 경우 시장 지위가 미약하고 불안정한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 정태적 동태적 분석의 조합을 통해 건설 관련 주체들의 시장 이해도를 제고하고, 향후 경쟁전략 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
