Since the implementation of "Reform and Opening-up" in China in the late 1970s, China has achieved unprecedented rapid economic growth and become one of the countries with the greatest development potential in the world. Entering 2 1 century, China's economy has maintained steady and high-speed growth. According to the research of the International Monetary Fund, in 20 14, the economic scale of China was 17.6 trillion US dollars, surpassing the United States and becoming the largest economy in the world. China's vast land has undergone earth-shaking changes, people's living standards have been greatly improved, cities have changed with each passing day, and infrastructure has been greatly improved, which has amazed the world. In this great transformation process, China's construction industry has made outstanding contributions. Every year, nearly 50 million construction troops draw a brand-new and beautiful skyline with wisdom and sweat, which has made indelible contributions to the social civilization and progress of contemporary China.
Accompanied by the melody of * * * and China, China's construction industry has developed rapidly, and its position as a pillar industry in the national economy has been further consolidated and improved. The scale of the construction industry is constantly hitting new heights. In 20 14 years, the total output value of construction enterprises above the national qualification reached 17.7 trillion yuan, and the added value of construction industry accounted for 7.03% of GDP. There are about 45 million employees in the construction industry, which has become an important industry to absorb a large number of rural surplus labor. The technological progress and innovation in the construction industry have achieved fruitful results, and a number of major projects with advanced design concepts and high technology content have been built, attracting worldwide attention. Some engineering technologies have reached the international advanced level. From 2065438 to 2004, the newly signed contract value of China's overseas contracted projects was about1917.6 billion US dollars, an increase of 1 1.7% over the previous year, and the international market development ability was continuously enhanced. The reform of construction enterprises has been deepened and the supervision mechanism has been improved.
However, under the new situation, China's construction industry is also facing some deep-seated contradictions and problems. Mainly manifested in: First, the industry's capacity for sustainable development is seriously insufficient. The development of construction industry largely depends on the rapid growth of fixed assets investment, extensive development mode, backward production mode and management means; In the process of construction, resource consumption and carbon emissions are prominent, and enterprises are always developing at a low level. Many enterprises seem to be large in scale, and their output value is increasing year by year, but their technological innovation and management strength are weak, and their scale expansion is seriously out of touch with their management strength and personnel quality. Second, the behavior of all parties in the market is not standardized. It is not uncommon for the construction unit to violate the statutory construction procedures, falsely bid, arbitrarily reduce the construction period, maliciously depress the price, and overpay the deposit. Construction enterprises sell and lend their qualifications, and the situation of collusion, subcontracting and illegal subcontracting is still outstanding; The main responsibilities of all parties in construction projects are not implemented, some construction enterprises have insufficient investment in quality and safety production, and engineering quality and safety accidents occur from time to time. Third, the investment in enterprise technology development funds is generally less. According to incomplete statistics, the investment of enterprises in technology research and development only accounts for 0.3~0.5% of the turnover, while that of developed countries is generally 3%, which is close to 10%, with a big gap. Judging from the contribution rate of technology, China's construction industry is only 25-35%, and developed countries have reached about 70%, with an obvious gap. Fourth, there is a serious shortage of skilled workers in enterprises. At present, there are nearly 50 million employees in China's construction industry, among which migrant workers account for a considerable proportion, and the proportion of qualified skilled operators is very low, and it is declining year by year. In recent years, the efficiency of many enterprises has declined, the construction and production environment is bad, the welfare treatment is poor, the brain drain has intensified, and the labor cost will rise sharply. Fifth, there is a big gap between China construction enterprises and foreign enterprises. No matter in asset scale, labor productivity or profitability, it is in a catch-up state. China's newly signed foreign contracted projects account for only a small proportion of the global construction market share, which is out of proportion to the 50 million construction troops.
The present situation of China's construction industry can not meet the needs of sustainable development, deepening reform, enterprise transformation and upgrading, becoming bigger and stronger, and ensuring quality and safety. The development of China construction industry has reached a critical moment!
How to break through the encirclement?
This is related to the future and destiny of the construction industry in China, and it is also an important topic that many experts, scholars, entrepreneurs and government officials in the industry are thinking hard and exploring. Over the years, Dr. Yang Baoming has published hundreds of thousands of research articles in various media. His articles have a superior geographical position, novel ideas and are close to reality, which have a great influence on the construction industry in China. The book Breakthrough is a collection of articles studied by Dr. Yang for many years, and it is the crystallization of Dr. Yang's thoughts on China's construction industry for more than 20 years.
At present, China's construction industry is in a special transition period from "relationship competitiveness" to "ability competitiveness". In this process, there are many problems that need to be solved urgently in China's construction industry. First, the transformation and development of construction enterprises, how to promote the technological innovation and progress of enterprises, so that the production mode, management mode, management mode, organizational structure and service content of enterprises have undergone comprehensive changes or significant progress. The second is how to change the development mode, and finally realize the transformation of enterprises and industries from extensive to intensive, from low added value to high added value, from high energy consumption and high pollution to energy saving and emission reduction. Third, how to further improve the legal system and supervision mechanism of the construction market. There are many articles about the industry development in the industry newspapers, and I also took the lead in organizing many summit forums to discuss the reform and development of the construction industry in China. Those articles and remarks, whether published in newspapers or in forums, are no problem as "opinions of one family". However, considering its value to industry progress, there are still differences. Some articles and speeches are completely from the perspective of enterprises and places, with fierce wording, and are lost in "seeing the trees but not the forest"; Some articles are completely from the perspective of government management, condescending and indifferent, generally belonging to the "Goethe School" and lost in "seeing only the forest but not the trees"; Some "academic" ideas are bold in theory, self-evident and innovative, but their operability is worth observing. I don't mean to belittle any articles that shout for the progress of China's construction industry. I just want to say that, by contrast, breaking through the tight encirclement is unique.
"Breakthrough" is particularly commendable in three aspects:
1. Dr. Yang Baoming is a rare compound senior researcher who integrates technology and thought in China's construction industry, which makes him have unique views on the reform and development of the construction industry. Yang Baoming graduated from Tongji University with a doctorate in management and a master's degree in structural science. He has a solid foundation in the basic theory of building structure and enterprise management, and can be called "academic school". After more than 20 years of research and accumulation, he has profound attainments in strategic management of construction enterprises and information management of construction industry. The most rare thing is that Dr. Yang worked as a project manager in Shanghai Construction Engineering Group for many years in his early years. He is a senior engineer and has many years of site experience. He has a profound understanding and rich practical experience in construction project management. He has a natural connection with "pastoral school" and "grassroots culture". At the same time, Dr. Yang is the founder of Luban Software, one of the earliest promoters and practitioners of BIM technology in China construction industry, and a technical expert. Therefore, the breakthrough is practical.
Second, "distance produces beauty." From the perspective of "the third person", the author is not only superior, but also inferior and narcissistic. The author starts with case analysis, closely follows the theory and practice, analyzes and dispels doubts, and points out the maze for construction entrepreneurs. As a senior scholar with many years of experience in project management and enterprise management, he has great advantages in integrating theory with practice; Over the years, he has been investigating and giving lectures all over the country, and he deeply understands the difference between this domain and other domains; With many years of experience as a project manager, he has a deep understanding of "trees". As a member of the expert committee of China Construction Industry Association and China Construction Enterprise Management Association, he also knows "forest". Generally, the chess game of Go masters always takes "potential" as the most important thing, so as to achieve "breakthrough" and finally win the overall victory. The basic idea of "breaking through the tight encirclement" is similar.
Third, there are many original suggestions that are worth pondering by aspiring architectural entrepreneurs. For many well-known and well-developed central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, this paper bluntly judges their limitations, embarrassments and dilemmas, and clearly expresses its own views, sometimes with sharp wording, which may make some senior managers feel embarrassed. In response to some problems, Dr. Yang also prescribed some insightful "prescriptions". These "medicines" may be bitter, but "good medicine tastes bitter". Whether it is an enterprise or an individual, it is a blessing to be criticized by a wise man. It takes a lot of courage and risk to criticize a person. Everyone knows the truth of "planting more flowers and less thorns". Generally speaking, people prefer to listen to good words rather than criticism. Some people will treat criticism wrongly, hold a grudge against the critic, and even regard him as an enemy. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that smart people only criticize those who are worthy of criticism and never make irresponsible remarks about those who are not worthy of criticism. Generally speaking, from the essential breakthrough of industry characteristics, combined with the current macro situation, in-depth analysis of the problems and reasons in the industry; And provide novel suggestions for the transformation and upgrading of construction enterprises from the perspective of strategy, brand and informatization. Such a book is undoubtedly of great reference value for high-level enterprises to formulate corporate strategies.
In the history of world scientific development, there has always been a debate about the fluctuation of light and particle theory. Newton put forward the particle theory of light based on the linear propagation and reflection and refraction of light. Huygens put forward the wave theory of light according to the diffraction and interference phenomena of light. The two theories have their own opinions and have been debated for hundreds of years. Later, after the research of Maxwell and Einstein, it was unified in quantum mechanics-light is the unity of opposites between fluctuations and particles. However, the research angles and observation methods of the two theories are different, and there are differences in understanding. How do China construction enterprises break through the tight encirclement? How does China's construction industry break through the tight encirclement? Different people have different opinions. However, as long as everyone is thinking, as long as everyone has the same starting point, the final result should be the same. Pavlov said, "Argumentation is the best catalyst of thought." As the saying goes, "White lotus root, green leaf and red lotus are originally a family". From this perspective, Breakthrough is a very valuable book, which is destined to be read by intelligent and ambitious entrepreneurs in China Construction.
