Abstract

Over the past two decades the U.S. construction industry was lagging in its efforts to maintain its status as the world leader in engineering and construction services. There is an urgent need to examine the situation and devise competitive strategies

Key Findings

To improve the positioning of the entire U.S. construction industry by the year 2000, three major forces must be overpowered by members of the U.S. construction industry during the 1990s:

Relinquish paradigms that have inhibited progress in the past
Establish methods to overcome, or cope with the predicted shortage of qualified human resources
Reestablish the working environment that stimulated the driving forces that allowed the U.S. construction industry to become a world leader in supplying construction services: "U.S. innovation and creativity" (SD-64, p. iv.)
