Research of Core Competence of the Leading International Engineering Constructors

Abstract:

During the last ten years, the international construction market has kept growing. However, not all the international contractors have good performance according to the study of the rankings of international contractors in ENR TOP 225. The core competence analysis model was established according to the theory and research of the competitiveness in international contracting industry. Two methods to determine the core competences of leading international engineering constructor were confirmed. Firstly, the core competences could be found by studying the market performance to research companies’ products, services and core business units. Secondly, the general competences and core competences could be determined according to the enterprises’ resources and capabilities to determine.
