Building International Construction Alliances is the first book to address the challenges of international cooperation between medium-sized construction firms. Despite
the considerable press coverage of international trade and cooperation, very little has been written on the specific topic of such strategic alliances among construction firms. The shrinking construction market in highly developed economies will force many firms to expand their capabilities and diversify their services in order to survive. The practice of partnering and strategic alliances and seeking cooperative agreements with foreign firms is one strategy which is generating increasing interest in the corporate planning departments of construction firms throughout the world. By presenting a case study of the historical evolution of Fratelli Dioguardi S.p.A. and Beacon Construction Company, and representative projects, Roberto Pietroforte offers the reader an understanding of * the way successful firms adjust their strategic,
organizational and operational settings to the changes in their market environments * the importance and advantages of international cooperation among medium-sized construction firms * the necessary analytical background for developing long-term collaboration.
