| From the development trend of domestic construction industry, Chinese construction industry has taken on the apparent effect of investment drawing. The extensive investment in fixed assets, urbanization, industrialization and transportation network construction, had released abundant market demand in engineering and construction services. However, having experienced the financial crisis, the Euro-area debt crisis and other negative factors, the construction market had progressively depressed inthe European Union, and the United States other developed countries and regions. But with the demand pull in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, Africa, part area of Eastern Europe and other emerging market, the global construction market will remain stable growth. And due to the good momentum of the global construction market, Chinese construction enterprises (CCEs) had achieved rapid development in operating income, firm size, and other aspects. But compared with leading international construction enterprises, there are still some gaps on the project operational capability, integrated engineering services capabilities and so on. Especially with the weakening of the demographic dividend, rising in the priceof input factors, implementation on green construction and low-carbon economy, the rapid changes of the industry investment policy, the traditional advantages of CCEs are gradually being swallowed. Meanwhile the new construction market environments have posed new challenges to the development of CCEs. Therefore, how the CCEs adapt to new and changing market environment, cultivate and maintain the competitive advantage had become an important issue to be solved.This dissertation focuses on the research of competitive advantage (CA) and dynamic capabilities (DCs) of CCEs. Firstly, the relative reviews are systematically reviewed, and the important role of dynamic capabilities is mainly analyzed. Secondly, based on the current research status and insufficient of dynamic capabilities, the theoretical model are proposed which elaborate the relationship between organizational context (OC) and DCs, DCs and CA. And some underlying assumptions are demonstrated and explained according to this theoretical model. Thirdly, integrating the characteristic elements of the construction companies and existing measuring tool of related variables,37measurement items are designed which could provide basis for the questionnaire survey. Finally, the reliability and validity of the measurement items are analyzed, and the proposal assumptions are verified with the AMOS software. According to the results of empirical research, some conclusions are summarized as follow:(1)The different elements of OC:organizational structure (the organic structure), organizational culture (entrepreneurship) and organizational atmosphere (constructive conflict) have the significant positive effect on the formation of DCs of CCEs.(2) DCs of Construction enterprises is a multi-dimensional concept, which is a composite of environment sensing, learning and absorptive capacities, innovational capacities, organization flexible capacities and integration and coordination capacities.(3) DCs of construction enterprises has the significant positive effect on enterprise competitive advantage.(4) Especially in the dynamic environment of construction industry, not all dimensions of DCs have the significant positive effect on enterprise competitive advantage, which reflects that not only the dynamic capability is a comprehensive set of kinds of capacities, but also demonstrates a lone capacity may not be able to impact on the competitive advantage,. |
