Comparative analysis of methods for forecasting bankruptcies of Russian construction companies

Housing is one of the most important needs of mankind to survive. A secure and properly planned house, gives comfort to people using it, keeping them secure from severe environment, un-wanted people and animals. Apart from the human casualties, the other striking and usually most visible effect of natural disaster is majorly the destruction of houses. The loss of houses has a devastating effect on privacy, livelihoods and the dignity of individuals. An effective program for the reconstruction of houses for those affected is critical to ensure restoration of the society’s economy, cultural identity and dignity. For many humanitarian organizations, employing professional construction companies is the most common and quickest way of rebuilding houses in the aftermath of a disaster. However every strategy has its own risks and limitations, but there is a growing awareness being shared among countries to mitigate these situations. This study carefully examines the reconstruction strategies employed in earthquake affected buildings of Kashmir, Pakistan and Gujrat, India. The analysis concludes proper fulfillment of the bye laws for seismic resistant construction and enforcing law of training for laborers and local people in redevelopment of earthquake hit area.

Freeways typify accessibility, which is a parameter related to the development of a country. A developing country, such as Mexico, is concerned with an emergent construction market of freeways, which has been a target for Portuguese construction companies since the Portuguese economic and construction crisis in 2008.In the earlier stages of a freeway project, the ubiquitous use of software calculations along with geometric standards restrictions is performed automatically and may introduce loss of sensitivity to the designer.This paper addresses this concern by presenting a Standards comparison between Mexico and Portugal, focusing on the elements of design and a comparative multi-criteria analysis adapted from Kalamaras et al. (2000). Through six case studies, this paper analyses the Standards’ influence on the horizontal alignment outcome, the radial uncompensated accelerations and the Brückner curves, concluding with the multi-criteria analysis results.

Current State

Heinrich (1980) claimed that safety education primarily relates with 88 percent of safety accidents, and secondarily relates with safety accidents. For this reason, safety education is of critical importance. However, while many studies have been performed on safety education in Korea for the prevention of safety accidents, few studies have been done on safety education currently performed in other countries. Therefore, in this study, a comparative analysis was conducted on the safety education cases of three different construction companies that are currently carrying out overseas construction projects. With this study, we identified four shared features and some differences in the safety education of each company.

Methodological Aspects

The purpose of the paper is to develop and prove the combined methodical approach to estimation of the level of innovation competitiveness of construction enterprises. Methodology. Theoretical and methodical basis of the research is the system approach to study of fundamental concepts of economic science to providing enterprises’ competitiveness. Development of the combined methodical approach is based on the results of comparative analysis of the existing approaches to estimation of companies’ competitiveness, including researches of the methods assessing total competiveness as well as its separate components. Dialectical and abstract logical methods as well as induction and deduction were used to generalize theoretical and methodological aspects of competitiveness evaluation and develop the combined approach. The results of the comparative analysis of publications devoted to estimation of enterprises’ competitiveness showed that the approach used by the researchers is based on using one or several methods of evaluation: based on the competitive advantages theory, effective competition, quality of goods, matrix, integral, scoring, analytical hierarchy, VIKOR and others. All these methods that can be used to estimate innovation competitiveness of construction companies are divided into three groups: quantitative, qualitative, and specialized. A combined approach to estimation of construction enterprises’ competitiveness based on combination of methodical concepts of stakeholder analysis theory (interested parties) using comparative advantage, matrix and integrated methods. Practical implications is development of scientific, methodological and practical approach to estimation of construction enterprises’ competitiveness allowing to receive the basis to creating the strategy of innovation competitiveness in order to provide economical safety. Value/originality is development of theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of estimation construction enterprises’ competitiveness including combined methodical approach as a complex of separate blocks, each is aimed at solving separate research task and has one purpose.
