520 _aExamines the international performance of British construction firms during the period 1990-1996. The principle findings indicate that British firms have increased their overseas activities during this time, and have tended to conduct the major share of their overseas work in developed countries. Suggests that since developed countries historically suffer similar recessions to the UK this finding indicates British companies' overseas operations have done little to offset the downturn in domestic workload.
