해외 유망 건설상품의 기술 경쟁력 평가 = An Assessment of Technological Competitiveness in Core Products of Foreign Design & Construction markets

국문 초록 (Abstract)

국내 건설산업은 해외 시장에서 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 각종 R&D투자를 늘리고 있는 실정으로 본 연구에서는 국내 건설산업이 해외 건설시장에서 경쟁력을 보유하고 있는 대표 건설상품에 대한 경쟁력을 종합적이고 다각적으로 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 기존 연구에서 실시한 기업의 경쟁력과 기술수준을 평가한 자료를 근거로 기술수준을 측정할 기술수준지표와 기술수준 측정방법론을 선정하였으며, 기존연구에서 부족하였던 기술수준 및 기술경쟁력 평가의 심층성에 대한 보완 방안으로 해외 경쟁력 보유 상품을 선별한 후, 관련 업무 전문가를 대상으로 기술수준을 평가하였다. 전문가 대상 요소는 '기술경쟁력', '경영 및 지원 경쟁력'을 대상으로 실시하였으며 각 요소의 평가 점수를 통하여 선진국과의 경쟁력 보유여부를 평가하였다. 이러한 평가결과를 토대로 국내 건설 산업이 시장측면이나 기술측면에서 해외시장에서 경쟁이 가능한 유망 상품을 도출하고 국제경쟁력을 증대할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 연구를 진행하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, surveys and interviews are used to evaluate technological competitiveness of each product with respect to that of foreign leading firms, for seven leading domestic construction products which have been determined to have competitive edge in offshore markets, Such evaluation provides a more in depth study than previously conducted research, and is meaningful in that corporate level, rather than industry level, perspective is projected. Major findings of such evaluations are the following. First, as expected, it has been evaluated that domestic technological competitiveness in desalination plant and power plant has reached the point where it can compete with foreign leading firms. Moreover, a noteworthy result of the evaluation is that development program sector, including urban development of satellite cities, has reached considerable level of competitiveness in offshore market. In the case of the development market, domestic firms have accumulated sufficient experience in domestic market and engineering technology is not a decisive factor as in plant sector, and these factors lead to such an evaluation. Second, in the cases of gas, oil refinery and petro-chemical plants, domestic products' technological competitiveness that can contest in offshore market is still centered around production and construction. On the other hand, there are still weaknesses in license technology and basic design capabilities, which constitute the "value added" area. Third, skyscrapers, a promising product in offshore construction market and a product group which domestic firms have much performance record and projects in progress both in domestic and offshore markets, are considered. While direct comparison between skyscrapers and plant sector is not feasible, with the exception of production and construction, overall domestic capability in this sector has been assessed to be the lowest amongst those products that were surveyed. Fourth, it has been indicated that competitiveness is relatively higher in common technology than in key technology. In project management capability, it has been assessed that there are weaknesses in procedure document area. Also, a characteristic is the point that low overall assessments have been given across all product groups for corporate and management areas, not technological areas. Especially, financing, contracting/claim, risk management and investment on research and development received low evaluations. Fifth, it has been assessed that overall corporate and governmental supports are weak. This result is especially evident for corporate management and support areas across all product groups surveyed.
