Improvement of Core Competitiveness of Chinese Construction Enterprises Against the Background of High-Quality Development

The construction industry is a pillar of the national economy. The complex international competition and the pressure from domestic reforms necessitate improvement on the core competitiveness of Chinese construction enterprises. In this article, we first analyze the development status and challenges of the core competitiveness of Chinese construction enterprises. Subsequently, we summarize the factors that influence the core competitiveness of Chinese construction enterprises using a fishbone diagram and through literature review and expert consultation, including human resource management, scientific and technological innovation, culture and brand building, project management, professional construction, and industrial chain integration. Furthermore, we propose corresponding suggestions and countermeasures from the perspectives of government and enterprise. Specifically, the government should improve the mechanism of scientific and technological innovation, improve relevant standards and policies of green construction, and enhance industry governance. Moreover, construction enterprises should improve the quality of human resource management, promote scientific and technological innovation, create brand soft power, integrate high-quality resources of the industrial chain, and promote core business advantages.
