Abstract

This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the correlation between the condition of the domestic construction market and the expansion of overseas projects within construction companies, based on the vector error correction model. The analysis results verified that, in the post-IMF crisis period, domestic construction companies took on more overseas projects only when the residential construction market slowed down. Compared to the pre-crisis period, construction companies grew more responsive to the condition of the domestic market for residential construction, and they took on more overseas construction projects when the domestic market slumped. This is because the business portfolios of Korean construction companies' render them highly vulnerable to the condition of the residential construction market. When the domestic residential market slows down, the business condition of construction companies quickly takes a turn for the worse, and to cope with this, they turn to overseas projects to compensate for the slowing of the domestic market. As the analysis shows, expanding overseas construction projects as a way to turn around business condition amid a slow residential construction market actually undermines the management of the companies even further. In other words, shifting business focus toward an overseas market during a hard time might be useful for securing cash flow, but might not help to restore profitability. Thus, construction companies need to carefully manage their level of business diversification to ensure strategic flexibility.

본 논문은 시기별 국내 건설경기 변화와 해외건설수주 간의 관계성을 벡터오차수정모형을 통해 비교분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 분석결과 IMF 외환위기 이후에는 주거용 건설경기가 하락할 경우에만, 해외건설시장 진출이 더욱 활발히 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 게다가 IMF 외환이기 이전보다 외환위기 이후에는 국내 주거용 건설경기 변화에 즉각적으로 반응하여 해외건설시장 진출 규모가 확대되는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 현상은 국내 건설업체들의 사업 포트폴리오 상 주거용 건설경기에 매우 민감하게 반응할 수밖에 없음에 기인한다. 즉 국내 주택시장 침체는 국내 건설업체의 경영상태에 심각한 영향을 미치게 되고, 이를 긴급히 타개하기 위하여 해외건설시장 진출 규모를 확대한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 분석을 통해 확인한 바와 같이 주택경기 침체에 따른 건설업체 경영상태 악화를 개선하기 위하여 해외건설시장 진출의 외연적확대는 오히려 건설업체 경영상태를 더욱더 악화시키는 결과를 초래한 것이다. 이에 따라 급박한 상황에서의 사업 전환은 오히려 수익률 확보보다 회사 내 현금흐름 확보를 위한 수단으로 전락할 수도 있기 때문에 전략적 유연성을 확보할 수 있도록 사업 다각화 수준을 지속적으로 일정 범위 안에서 관리할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
