Abstract

Korea's construction engineering companies are facing difficulties in deterioration of international construction profitability because they focus on traditional engineering fields such as design and construction supervision. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen competency of high-add-value engineering field such as Project-Management-Consultancy (PMC). This paper aims to suggest the strategies to enhance the international PMC competency. This study identified the competency factors for international PMC, using Borich needs assessment and Locus for focus model. As a result, step-by-step strategies were suggested according to the competency level in domestic engineering companies. The results of this study will assist Korean engineering companies to consider the important competencies for international PMC projects. Furthermore, enhancement strategies are going to be proper references for domestic engineering companies which prepare the international PMC project.

국내 엔지니어링 기업은 설계, 감리 및 시공과 같은 전통적인 엔지니어링 분야에만 사업을 집중적으로 수행함에 따라, 해외건설 수익성 악화의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 PMC와 같은 고부가가치 엔지니어링 분야의 역량을 강화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 해외 PMC 사업 진출을 위한 역량강화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 보리치 요구도 평가와 로커스 포 포커스 모형을 통해 해외 PMC 역량 요인을 규명하였으며, 정량분석과 정성분석을 종합적으로 고려하여 국내 엔지니어링 기업의 역량수준에 따른 단계별 향상전략을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 국내 엔지니어링 기업이 해외 PMC 사업을 위한 주요 역량을 파악하고, 해외 PMC 사업을 준비하는데 국내 기업에 참고 전략이 될 것이다.
