Taiwan’s construction sector businesses vastly vary in terms of scale and quality, with ever changing complications. Businesses are dispersed and it is difficult to fully manage the sector’s environment and properly allocate resources in response to the sector’s environment change and impacts. The adaptability of businesses, their operating market positioning and relevant strategies, are often the key for businesses within the sector to maintain competitiveness. In 2017, the total number of domestic construction businesses was 10,455. Among those, 6,679 were class “C” certified, occupying 64% of all construction businesses. For these class “C” certified businesses, competition is fierce choosing the right business strategy is vital for its survival. Most of Taiwan’s construction businesses are small in size. Management and scale are heavily territorial and dependent on special markets. Thus, this study utilizes the enhancement of construction techniques as management’s “Blue Ocean Strategy”. The focuses of this study are as follows: 1. In order for construction businesses to achieve successful efficiency and performance, the value of core expertise is vital, especially the investment of machinery and technicians. 2. The management of domestic medium-small businesses focuses on specific locations, specific clients and conservative business models. They are oblivious to the rapid changes of the supply market, using strategic management and operation knowledge to refine management decisions. 3. Construction businesses can utilize management analysis to acquire construction techniques that the market demands and improve in competitiveness, raising the bar and forming Blue Ocean Strategy that results in less competitors. 4. Blue Ocean Strategy not only creates markets, but takes into consideration of 3 main elements, including client value proposition, profit proposition and people proposition; medium-small businesses should focus on discovering new markets and new demands. 5. Most domestic medium-small businesses still keep to traditional business models, relying on intense labor and machinery production, with little concern for the environment. Thus, these businesses should increase project management skills as well as procurement strategies, to re-allocate the company’s resources in different management directions.
