Research on the Challenges and Countermeasures Faced by Construction Enterprises under the Background of the Epidemic
Publication: ICCREM 2021
ABSTRACT
During the Spring Festival of 2020, a new type of COVID-19 pneumonia epidemic that raged across the country spread rapidly and became a sudden force majeure event in economic operations. In the context of greater downward pressure on the economy, the epidemic has brought many problems and huge challenges to business management. Corresponding data show that the epidemic has had a certain degree of negative impact on China’s overall economy and various industries. When we further subdivide the industry by industry, we can clearly find that the construction industry has been severely affected by this epidemic. This is mainly caused by the characteristics of the industry. The construction industry is faced with the uncertainty of the source of construction workers and the concentration of personnel, which makes the resumption and operation of this industry extremely difficult. This article will analyze the challenges that the epidemic poses to construction companies from the aspects of construction companies’ project duration, costs, operations, staff turnover, and employee work status. This paper will put forward relevant countermeasures and suggestions from the perspective of project management and control, enterprise production and operation, enterprise own capacity construction, and industrial ecological chain.
