- Abstract:
How can competitiveness be defined and measured within China's construction industry to evaluate the overall performance and also allow enterprises to assess and improve their competence? The Competitiveness Index for the Construction Industry (CICI) is a new single index that can measure relative competitiveness of the construction industry at China's provincial level. The principles and process of the system development are elaborated. Using the CICI, the competitiveness of the construction industry in ten target provinces and/or municipalities is evaluated, the competitiveness of Shandong Province's building sector is further analysed, and the system's limitations and further research work are identified. It is concluded that currently there is no so-called 'powerful province/municipality' in the construction industry, that according to the status quo and the tendency of development, it is most probable for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong provinces may be the first to achieve this goal, and that the indicators of Relevant industries and Structure are the bottleneck that hampers enhancing the competitiveness of Shandong's building sector.
