Abstract

The Steady growth of Chinese international contractors (CICs) has draw great attentions from academic and industry professionals. CICs have made a great success not only in outsourcing human resources and low-balling competition, but also in the projects with high finance and technology requirements. With the two years’ continuous investigation of the rapid growth CIC- China International Trust and Investment Company International Contracting Inc. (CICI), we find CICI have its own procedures on entering international construction market. We summarized these procedures as a prior services strategy combined with Financial Services, R&D Services and Public Relations Services (“sss” strategy). Based on the data we have collected (interviews and surveys), explanations are given to every sector of this strategy. Finally, this paper proposed the strategy of “SSS”, and concludes that it is an effect and efficient entry strategy, which can improve CICs’ performance in international construction market.
