An Evolutionary Systems Approach to Construction Engineering in Mozambique

The construction engineering industry in Mozambique is close to collapse, which calls for dynamic interventions into the various sectors which impact adversely on the industry. This paper proposes that an evolutionary systems approach model has the potential to mitigate the adverse situation and save the Mozambican construction engineering industry to become a viable entity to the benefit of the country and its people, often referred to as 'the poorest of the poor". More specific, while the failure of businesses invariable point to a plethora of valid business reasons, which includes weak management, the evolutionary systems approach model proposed in this paper, will address complex controllable external factors deeply rooted in culture and government, which adversely impact upon the success of the Mozambican construction engineering industry.
