ABSTRACT

Although economic reform has brought Chinese construction practices more in line with international conventions, they are still different from those in the free-market world due to a number of underlying factors. This paper, by using a modified industry competition analysis model, systematically examines the main stakeholders in the Chinese construction industry with respect to the following aspects: shifts in government intervention, problems between contractors and subcontractors, new entrants, the bargaining power of clients, and the bargaining power of suppliers.
