RISEnterprise Localization Practices and Their Implication for Knowledge Management in Foreign Participation in the Chinese Construction Sector
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Foreign firms active in the Chinese construction industry find themselves in a competitive environment unlike the environments in which they operate back home. Adaptations are therefore required in order that firms retain ...
Competitive Strategies Associated with Particular Localization Patterns Adopted by Implanted Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Firms in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A good deal has been written on strategy that explains how firms compete. However, there is nothing yet in the literature that explains the relationship between the strategies used by firms in an offshore context and the ...
Localization Typologies Evident among Foreign Enterprises Active in the Chinese Construction Market
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The successful globalization of enterprises is predicated on them finding the right balance between retaining the core competitive advantages of home-grown strengths while integrating the best of locally sourced resources ...
River Engineering Work on Nanjing Reach of Lower Yangtze River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Through construction experience and research, including model tests, on the Nanjing reach of the lower Yantze River, it was found that different methods must be used to stabilize the discharge ratio of two branches around ...
Permanent versus Mobile Entry Decisions in International Construction Markets: Influence of Home Country– and Firm-Related Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When entering a selected foreign market, the contractor must decide between permanent entry mode and mobile entry mode. By following theories and previous studies in international business, hypotheses were developed regarding ...
Entry Mode Taxonomy for International Construction Markets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The global construction market is large, expanding, fragmented, regionally fluctuating, heterogynous, risky, and highly competitive. To survive and grow in this arena full of opportunities as well as pitfalls, international ...
Chinese Contractors in Africa: Home Government Support, Coordination Mechanisms, and Market Entry Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Africa is a traditional overseas market for Chinese contractors. Since the launch of “going out’ national strategy in the new century, and with the support and control of the government and subordinate agencies, associations ...
Elastic-Plastic Wheel-Rail Thermal Contact on Corrugated Rails During Wheel Braking
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study uses an elastic-plastic, coupled temperature-displacement finite element model to investigate the effect of rail corrugations on the wheel-rail thermal contact stress and temperature ...
Partial Slip Rolling Wheel-Rail Contact With a Slant Rail Crack
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the tip characteristics of an oblique crack in the wheel-rail contact problem. The wheel-rail normal contact pressure and interfacial shear stress distributions, and the ...
Elastic-Plastic Partial Slip Rolling Wheel-Rail Contact with an Oblique Rail Crack
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study employs an elastic-plastic finite element model to investigate the effect of oblique rail surface crack on the wheel-rail contact stress distribution under partial slip rolling conditions. ...
