Analysis of Top Chinese Contractors’ Developmental Tracks and Evaluation of Their Strategic Selection of International Construction Markets

The past decade has witnessed a rapid development of the international construction market. This research aims to investigate top Chinese contractors’ developmental tracks and evaluate their strategic selection of international construction markets over the period from 2001 to 2006, based on the modified Boston Consulting Group Matrix (BCG). Results indicate that Asia and Africa, currently “question marks” markets for top Chinese contractors (abbreviated as TCCs), have the most potential to become “stars” markets; other question marks markets such as the Middle East and Europe are found not to be of potential; “dogs” markets such as the U.S., Canada and Latin America should be relinquished progressively unless there is renewed growth opportunity over the next two years. Compared to developmental tracks of top contractors from some advanced countries, TCCs’ investment and development strategy in Africa seems to be sustainable and intensive; TCCs’ exit strategy for the Middle East appears determined and swift, while their strategy in Asia seems to be lacking in persistence. This research sheds important lights and insights into the prevailing process of internationalization of TCCs and provides a strategic direction for their selection of international construction market. What is more, this research is also valuable to other Chinese contractors who are seeking the opportunity to enter the international construction markets.

The Challenges and Rewards of Standardization in China

The business of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) standards is more different in China than it is in Europe or in Japan.While it started out as a centralized effort over the millennia (yes,you read me right),in the past twenty years it has been driven equally by local government,state-owned enterprises and private enterprises either in standards organizations or trade associations.This has resulted in what meteorologists might call a turbulent situation.The current goals of standardization in China include:a push for quality and safety;encouraging home-grown innovation,whether regionally or nationally;influencing the direction of innovation internationally;and emphasizing market-driven approaches.Eventually China will be a formidable standards player.There is direct business value in helping Chinese companies master the art of participating in de jure and de facto standards bodies,in watching and analyzing their participation strategies - and in participating as a company or an organization because innovation is increasingly being shaped in standards.
