Construction of the competition and competition strategy
Engineering and construction firms from the United States dominated
the global market for many decades but recent world events have
altered their position.
To investigate the driving forces and trends that will affect
engineering and construction competition in the next decade, a
research project, called the "Anatomy of Construction Competition
in the Year 2000", was sponsored by the Construction Industry
Institute's Construc-tion 2000 Task Force- The project examined the
factors that affect competitiveness, including the following,
The shaping of corporate capabilities; vertical integration and
horizontal expansion to increase corporate capabilities and market share, including acquisition and mergers by offshore conglomerates
and the acquisition of foreign firms by U. S. companies.


美國(guó)的工程建筑公司幾十年來(lái)一直控制著國(guó)際建筑市場(chǎng)，但近來(lái)世界上發(fā)
生的事件改變了它的主導(dǎo)地位。
為了調(diào)查今后十年對(duì)工程建筑競(jìng)爭(zhēng)產(chǎn)生影響的推動(dòng)力及趨勢(shì)，由建筑工業(yè)
研究院的"2000 年建筑特別工作組：發(fā)起一項(xiàng)稱(chēng)為“2000 年建筑市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)
分析”的研究項(xiàng)目。該研究項(xiàng)目考察了一些影響競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的因素，包括下列方
面：
企業(yè)能力塑造：采用縱向聯(lián)合，橫向發(fā)展的方法，提高企業(yè)的綜合能力。
擴(kuò)大市場(chǎng)領(lǐng)地，這種做法包括被海外的聯(lián)合企業(yè)收購(gòu)或被其合并，或是由
美國(guó)公司收購(gòu)?fù)鈬?guó)公司。
