Abstract

International competitiveness is becoming important, even for industries that were once considered very domestic. Top international construction companies seem to be going through major strategic transformations to sustain competitiveness. Some have achieved remarkably high international competitiveness. Strategic management can play a crucial role in achieving competitiveness. An attempt has been made in this research to understand the differences in strategies being evolved by the top firms. The dynamics of strategies has been captured using the concept of strategic enablers. Several important enablers were identified from literature review to develop constructs. Then, the strategies of the selected firms were analyzed in terms of enablers, to identify patterns and draw implication .
