- Abstract
- The purpose of this research was to provide broad-based insight into the future state of competitiveness, both domestic and global, by developing scenarios for the state of competition in the construction industry in the year 2000 and beyond. Historical and current trends were systematically analyzed to identify the driving forces that will shape the future of the construction industry. Specific research objectives include an in-depth study of: [*] 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; [*] The role of privatization, and build-own-transfer projects and the nature of project financing, in future markets; [*] Management, organization, and structure: future management and organizational approaches/structures and techniques, to attract personnel to perform in a global environment.
