| dc.description.abstract | The understanding of firms’ competitiveness and assessing Key Competitiveness Indicators has been a major issue for construction industry. Several attempts have been made in relation to this issue elsewhere although little attention has given to local construction firms’ competitiveness in Ethiopian construction industry. The study was aimed at identifying key competitiveness Indicators (KCIs) for construction firm in the context of Ethiopian Federal Highway construction projects and assessing its association between KCIs and performance of the local construction firms. The finding of the study shows that there is a significant association between construction firm's competitiveness and key indicators such as; technology and innovation, marketing capability, financing capability, organizational management skills, and human resources strength. However, no statistically significant association was found between the construction firm's competitiveness and corporate image. The major objective of the research is to make assessment of Competitiveness of Local Contraction Firms (LCFs) and find out solutions that have potential of filling the competitiveness gaps of LCFs. The study took only views or perceptions of professionals from ERA, however, views of private construction firms, and consulting companies were not considered. | en_US |
