If a company wants to have a long-term presence on the market, it must have a long-term marketing strategy. It should respect the expected technical, technological and socio-economic development. All these factors are clearly manifested in the construction industry. Construction activities are specific in that their products are for long-term use and financially demanding for the investor. The underestimation of trends, technological changes and investor requirements leads to loss of clients and a significant deterioration in the economic situation. Creating a marketing strategy to keep it on the market can prevent these problems. In construction it means estimating trends and shaping a marketing strategy. This activity is very demanding and costly. It leads to the creation of Goodwill and its focus and is an integral part of the company’s assets. If is the marketing strategy insufficient or wrong, it will result in the loss of Goodwill and therefore clients in the market. Construction companies needs to build Goodwill and record it as part of the company’s property. Goodwill is also part of internal accounting. This is where the cost of marketing will take place, not only in terms of costs. There is a need for companies to deliberately choose the methods through which they will express the value of Goodwill.

The paper is devoted to the search for a way of development of the construction industry by the deposits in banks. The analysis of the eurozone statistics has shown that most of the deposits are short-term ones. In addition, loans for the purchase of housing and loans to non-financial corporations are issued mainly for up to one year. This constrains the demand for housing and construction projects, limits the opportunities for long-term crediting construction companies, and also causes Juglar’s economic cycles. In this regard, measures are needed to make the financial plans of all stakeholders on the construction market lengthier. The author proposes to create the targeted deposits in banks under collateral in the form of buildings, structures, and infrastructure facilities. This will increase the propensity to save and invest free money in the construction industry.

The goals of this research work are to ascertain the degree of willingness for technological alterations, the norms which construction entities should possess regarding the readiness for technological alterations, and the obstacles encountered by construction firms in terms of technological alterations. Ten semi-structured interviews were carried out comprising ten G7 contractors in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur regarding on the implementation and adopting the technological changes within their companies. Based on the observations, most construction firms in Malaysia are fairly prepared to encounter technological fluctuations. Furthermore, the research deliberates many norms which are essential to generate the technological readiness in construction firms along with the obstacles which could impact the organisational inclination for technological changes. This work intends to help construction companies evaluate their degree of readiness and organise themselves for better adoption of technological alterations in their businesses.

The construction industry is highly sensitive on economic cycle. So, construction companies have experienced hard times in the crisis period. The aim of the article is to identify, compare and evaluate financial position of companies with different payment habits in the Czech construction industry in the period 2008 – 2012 using individual data and suitable statistical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test at the significance level of α = 0.05). The article also focuses on evaluation of the default risk coming from construction companies. The overall financial condition is analyzed through prediction models IN05 and Altman’s Z Score for emerging markets. Financial ratios of profitability, productivity, liquidity, indebtedness and turnover evaluate separately each area of financial situation. Based on the sample of 3 438 construction companies, the results show that payment habits increase with higher profitability (short-term and long-term), higher liquidity, lower debt ratio and higher liability turnover. Payment habits of construction companies could be better. Frequency analysis shows that 84.12 % of construction companies have proper, above-average or average payment habits with no later than 30 days delay in settlement of debt after maturity. However, 11 % of solvent companies have poor payments habits. Such companies are risky for their suppliers with respect to the secondary insolvency phenomenon.

Marketing strategy is an important part of every business strategy because it is crucial in attaining marketing goals and to grant the overall success of a company. Broadly speaking, marketing strategy allows to define the long-term marketing goals of a firm and what needs to be done in order to achieve these goals. This provides a set of planned steps to bring the marketing mix into the desired state to achieve the overall business goal. In this sense, the marketing strategy is never created independently based on the corporate level strategy. Marketing management has evolved over the past decade to become customer-cantered, and it continues to change along with consumers.
