Japanese and Chinese Construction and Facilitites Management Software Markets. Preliminary Study.

摘要

The goal of this preliminary study was to perform a market study on the opportunities to transfer Finnish software technology to Japanese and Chinese construction and facilities management markets. The study forms a starting point for further actions when establishing business between Finnish and Japanese and/or Chinese counterparts. This study is divided into two parts. The first one deals with the Japanese and the second one with the Chinese market outlook. The study on China is restricted to cover only mainland China. Both sections include overviews of the construction and real estate markets, characteristics of construction and use of information technology, and issues to be taken into account when entering the markets. The final chapters of both sections have conclusions on the opportunities available in the markets and difficulties one to likely to expect when establishing business in these countries.
