“…The entropy method is a common method to generate the objective weight of index system [40,41]. The next method used in this research is Set Pair Analysis (SPA), which is a novel method to target the uncertainty in a system [42,43]. The core thought of set pair analysis was to treat the confirmed uncertainty of the object to be studied as a confirmed uncertainty system, and to analyze and study the connection and conversion of the research objects for the similarities and differences.…”

“…The core thought of set pair analysis was to treat the confirmed uncertainty of the object to be studied as a confirmed uncertainty system, and to analyze and study the connection and conversion of the research objects for the similarities and differences. The core concept of set pair analysis was the set pair and the connection degree [42]. Another comparison method of principle cluster analysis (PCA) was also used to assess vulnerability.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to study the vulnerability of construction enterprises' innovation capabilities (CEIC) and their respective primary influencing factors. This paper proposed a vulnerability system framework of CEIC, designed two comprehensive assessments for analysis, namely the entropy and set pair analysis method (E-SPA) and the principle cluster analysis and SPA method (P-SPA), and compared grades to verify the vulnerability assessments. Further, the paper quantitatively assessed the major influencing factors in facilitating management, reducing vulnerability, and improving the ability of construction enterprises to respond to changes in the construction industry. The results showed that vulnerability could be effectively and systematically evaluated using E-SPA. However, managing or reducing entrepreneurial sensitivity and improving the ability to respond was critical to supporting sustainable CEIC. The case studies included in this paper suggested that in ensuring sustainable CEIC, companies should concentrate on highly educated human resources, R&D investments, intellectual property related innovations, and government support. This research provided a practical framework and established a sustainable strategy for companies to manage their vulnerability in developing innovation capability. In addition, this research presented an innovative and effective way to quantitatively analyze vulnerability which offered a foundation to signify a new paradigm shift in construction sustainable development.

“…According to past research [52,54,58,69,70], the smaller the frequency percent of each index is, the stronger the hindering influence. In Table 5, we can see that F1-7 in Table 3 is the smallest frequency percent, which indicates that Shaanxi's construction industry's brand building support is unable to meet the requirements for transition at the present time.…”

Construction industry is one of the major drivers of the economic sustainability of China's provinces. An investigation of the status of the construction industry in China is needed to find out its maturity and health. The results of this investigation may help China define the impact factors required in order to promote the growth level of its construction industry. This research assesses the growth level of the construction industry in Shaanxi Province, China. This study utilizes both the original average score method and the newer entropy method to analyze the growth level of the construction industry based on its growth management model and growth drivers. An empirical survey of this research includes 123 construction companies in Shaanxi Province. The results show that the entropy method is better than the average score method to use when analyzing the maturity status of a local industry for future development. The maturity level of Shaanxi's construction industry lies on the second tier in a four-tier ranking system. The advanced professional skills of project management are critically needed for future growth. Brand building is the most important factor needed to drive up Shaanxi's construction industry. Standardization, knowledge management through lessons learned, and cost management for budget control by using information systems are required for Shaanxi's construction project management. The Excellent Project Management Model of China is often used in Chinese project knowledge management. After maturity analysis, China's local industries would be able to develop a sustainable strategy for optimizing their outcomes by removing the hurdles preventing future growth.

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to quantitatively evaluate the growth phase, position, and priorities of the industrialization policy management of the construction industry at firm level. The goal is to integrate quantitative dynamics into the policy-making process for sustainable policy development in future China. This research proposes an integrated framework, including growth management model and industrial policy evaluation method, to identify the challenges of construction industrialization and policy management. The research applies the mixed system method, which includes entropy method and average score method, to analyze the growth stage and major impact indexes targeting 327 survey samples. The empirical results show that the proposed conceptual framework and policy evaluation method could effectively determine the growth position and directions of the construction industrialization. For verification purpose, the study uses the local industry data from Shaanxi Province, China. The calculation results substantiate that the construction industry is in the middle section of the third growth phase. The comparison of the results from statistical methods shows that the local construction industry still needs substantial effort in policy management to improve its sustainable industrialization level. As countermeasures, the policy priorities should concentrate on: (1) enhancing effective cooperation among universities, research institutions and enterprises; (2) improving actions towards technology transfer into productivity; and (3) encouraging market acceptance of construction industrialization. This research complements the existing literature of policy evaluation of construction industrialization. Moreover, it provides theoretical and operational steps on industry policy evaluation and growth management framework, with accurate and ample data analysis on firm-level survey. Researchers and policy makers can use this research for further extensions of policy management for construction industrialization.
