8、can differ. According to Kotler (1999), they include: the possibility of increasing sales, greater resource accessibility, securing several markets for products sale and resource acquisition.Under normal conditions of th

11、ives rise to quantitative changes which, in turn, lead to a more extensive geographical organisation of economic activities.Research into the internationalisation of construction companies is becoming increasingly import
12、ant, both in the academic community and in construction practice. Existing research results show a variety of problems facing construction companies in the internationalisation of their operations, and potential strategi
13、es have been designed for construction companies entering international markets.David Crosthwaite focused on the process of construction company internationalisation, especially in Great Britain. In his paper Crosthwaite
14、 (1998) showed the results of empirical research into the internationalisation of British construction companies between 1990 and 1996, with emphasis on the geographical characteristics of these companies’ foreign busine
15、ss activities. He showed that most companies preferred to seek opportunities on developed markets as opposed to developing markets because of the secure environment and low level of corruption on mature markets. In 1996
16、Ofori developed a conceptual model proposing how international and local construction companies, together with the state administration, may achieve common benefits in various stages of the development of construction ac
17、tivities in particular countries.Furthermore, Ranko and Crosthwaite (2001) showed that the most attractive construction Fig. 1. Five ways of entering foreign marketsConstruction is generally known as an activity with man

19、 the internationalisation of construction companies. For example, Low and Jiang (2003) focused on the internationalisation of Chinese construction companies. They proposed a structural index of 5 factors identifying “tru
20、ly global” companies: 1) ratio of foreign and total income,2) degree of international distribution, 3) foreign managerial structure, 4) participation in specialised fields and 5) general internationalisation index.Gunhan
21、 (2005) developed a foreign market entry decision model for construction companies, which can also be used for other industries. The model consists of two steps: in the first step the company, on the grounds of a SWOT an
22、alysis, makes the decision about whether it is ready to enter foreign markets, and if it finds that it is, it compares the gains and losses. If the gains exceed the potential losses, the company chooses a business strate
23、gy for entering foreign markets. Cullen (2002) proposed a decision-making matrix that takes into account all the available foreign market entry strategies.Construction companies respond to today’s extremely competitive e

27、 companies on the international construction market, he divided strategies in two basic groups: permanent and temporary, and within these two groups he classed seven strategies characteristic of construction companies.Th
28、ese are: joint venture project, solo venture project and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) as temporary strategies, and representative office, branch office, joint venture company and solo venture company as permanent strateg
