The book explains how Gravitational Distance and the System of
Cities influence transnational construction-related firms when they
venture overseas. The study presented in the book internalizes the
characteristics of home and foreign cities, and of transnational
firms, to develop situational business strategies and organization
designs in terms of Strategy, Structure, Systems, Leadership Style,
Firm's Skills, Staff's characteristics, Shared Values and Supply
Chain. The book presents the findings of surveys and interviews
with managers and professionals in eight different Asian cities
stretching from Singapore to China. The findings are then used to
develop business solutions in the form of a Decision Support System
(DSS) for transnational construction firms, helping them to adopt
an appropriate organization design strategy when they venture into
overseas markets. Issues relating to globalization,
competitiveness, risk management, communications, networks,
government interference, business strategies, organization
structures and systems in the context of international construction
business are discussed together with corresponding recommendations
for implementation. Although construction-related firms were used
as the basis for the field studies, the lessons learned are equally
applicable for organizations in other industries.
