  • Abstract:
    For the Chinese constructive industry, the enterprise‘s ability in integrating the relationship resources is equally important to its strength in hardware techniques. Therefore, against the background of the globalization and the perfect competition market, it seems that the research on how Chinese construction enterprises integrate their relationship resources and thus achieve their development could be rather interesting and practical. Based on the resources from the CSMAR data base, official websites of enterprises and authorized media, this thesis has collected huge amount of data about two state-owned enterprises and two private enterprises. Besides, according to the questionnaires, this thesis also explored the evolution rule of the politic-bussiness relationship within the Chinese construction industry, the balance mechanism and the process of relationship resources integration. The results demonstrate that: (1) the develop route of state-owned enterprises is ?political relationship-political relationship-bussiness relationship, while the route of private construction enterprises is ?bussiness relationship-political relationship- bussiness relationship? and both of their last stages are guided by bussiness-oriented relationship; (2) construction enterprises achieve their balance between the political and bussiness relationship resources by the mutual linking and mutual triggering between them; (3) the interaction characterizes the political relationship resource and the business relationship resource, which means that because of the permeation and integration between these two resources enterprises could continuously absorb external resources and develop themselves. This thesis also points out that even though political relationship plays an important role in this whole process, construction enterprises should pay more attention to the accumulation of internal resources and abilities and return to their commercial nature in terms of a long-term development. This thesis reveals the evolution rules of political and business relationship resources of Chinese construction enterprises and balance mechanism within them, and it also illustrates the developing process of Chinese construction enterprises and expands theoretical boundaries of current research from an external perspective. Meanwhile, according to the current development of construction enterprises, this thesis has also provides suggestions from the perspective of both government and enterprises level, which could be constructive for strategy-making or policy-making.
