Abstract

With the deep development of global economic integration, more and more engineering contractors are actively participating in the international engineering market. In this increasingly active, competitive and complex international engineering market, the intensity of market competition has become an important factor for international engineering contractors in accurately selecting overseas target markets. Although competition in international markets is a widely studied topic, current research on this aspect of the intensity of competition in international markets is not sufficiently advanced. This paper takes the data related to the international market selection of the world's largest 250 international engineering contractors in six different industries, such as transportation, water supply, power, manufacturing, industrial/petroleum, and general building, published by Engineering News Record in 2020, and adopts social network analysis to analyze the intensity of market competition through centrality index as a way to help international engineering contractors to better identify the target market when entering the international market.
