A questionnaire was devised and included 17 questions related to failure for both an "at risk" group classified as vulnerable, i.e. those scoring negatively by the Z-score model and a positively scoring "solvent" by: It is concluded that support vector machine, with random oversampling and including strategic variables, is a very robust tool to predict company failure in the context of the construction.

It is concluded that support vector machine, with random oversampling and including strategic variables, is a very robust tool to predict company failure in the context of the construction industry.

In particular, this model outperforms the results obtained with logistic by:   Performance of bankruptcy prediction models (BPM), which partly depends on the methodological approach used to develop it, has virtually stagnated over the years.

The methodological positions of BPM studies were thus investigated. Systematic review was used to search and retrieve 70 journal articles and doctoral theses.

Corporate failure prediction, China, Cut off point, Economic value added, Special treatment, numerous studies have focused extensively on methods to predict bankruptcy, and several A financially distressed company is defined as a company with negative net profit for 2 consecutive years (Sun and Li, ).

This paper aims to provide a synthesis of the previous business failure prediction models for construction companies and to put forward a future agenda in research for this industry.

Following this introductory section, the next section identifies the factors causing company failure in construction. most recent techniques for predicting corporate failure are based in methods such as hazard models, linear programming, neuronal networks and other non-parametric techniques.

The purpose of this paper is to test if the model created by Edward Altman in can be used to make accurate predictions of corporate failure in another time period. The aim of the project, according to the authors, was to check Altman’s technique on predicting failure of construction firms.

Using the data of just 40 construction firms, Mason and Harris achieved an overall accuracy of 87% and concluded the technique was valid. or bankruptcy. Corporate failure is costly to the economy since firms that fail negatively affect all their stakeholders.

Azeez ahamed and SS. The construction industry is the largest industry in the world. It is more of a service than a manufacturing industry. Growth in this industry in fact is an indicator of the economic conditions of a country. This is because the construction industry consumes a wide employment circle of labor.

While the manufacturing industry exhibit high-quality. Business failure prediction is one of the most essential problems in the field of finance. The research on developing business failure prediction models has been focused on building classification models to distinguish among failed and non—failed firms.

Such models are of major importance to financial decision makers (credit managers, managers of firms, investors, etc.); they serve as early. In the United States (US) construction industry, the average rate of failure from – was nearly 14% higher than the average rate of failure for all industries, the same phenomenon occurs in Malaysia, comparatively failure rate of Indian construction industries.

physical, political, social and economic risks) during construction. However, most of them do not predict risks when they are considering bids and tenders. Construction risk is generally perceived as events that influence project objectives, i.e., cost, time and quality. Some of the risks associated with the construction.

and eventual demise of a company. In this article, the various failure prediction models are critically discussed and an attempt is made to identify the most significant reasons for eventual company failure.
