For this difficulty shown in construction industry, it established the causes not only the depression in construction market overtaken followed by the global financial crisis but also the business strategy of local construction companies excessively weighted towards external growth. In today's rapidly changing society, such business strategy overly focused on growth only may threaten even the corporate sustainability.
