Background of the study In order to stand firmly in the market and constantly develop under increasingly competitive conditions and scarce resources, a business needs to make effective use and evaluate their efficiency in using resources. Among businesses, financial resources are always number one. The financial resources to ensure the business operations to achieve the goals.
Or understand correctly, financial resources are the ability to mobilize capital to meet the business’ activities and the ability to ensure financial safety of the business. From the perspective of capital management, the financial structure of the business is the ratio between Debt and Equity. A financial structure is considered optimal when the average cost of capital is lowest, and at the same time the maximum value of the business. Corporate financial efficiency is the efficiency of mobilizing, using and managing capital in business (Truong Ba Thanh and Tran Dinh Khoi Nguyen, 2001).
In order to assess whether the financial structure of a business is optimal or not, whether to bring maximum value in financial performance or not, it is necessary to have targets to measure and evaluate financial indicators and financial performance. The relationship between distribution system and financial performance of a business was very positive and getting a lot of attention from academics. Anderson et al. (1997) suggests that the good performance of the distribution can reduce costs, increase revenue and efficiency and effectiveness of business assets used.
Better distribution system can assist the business in maintaining its relationship with customers by reducing cycle time required (Lambert and Pohlen, 2001). Other studies supporting the relationship between distribution and financial performance concluded that the cost of inventory and the quality very big influence on retail agencies (Schramm-Klein and Morschett, 2006). Meanwhile, research Shang and Marlow (2005) concluded that the financial performance of manufacturing firms increased due to their distribution system are improved. Thus, the company can have more benefits from the improvement of logistics performance.
Some problems in the distribution network might occur, such as, production, inventory locations, and the placement of the warehouse. Therefore, the decision- making process should take into account all the factors and improve coordination with all entities in order to improve business performance, the author chooses the topic: Impact of goods distribution system on financial performance: case of Minh Thai Co., Ltd” in order to propose suggestions to further improve the business results of the business as a research topic for my graduation thesis. 8 The graduation thesis focuses on research to achieve the following purposes: - Systematize the basic theoretical issues about financial performance of a company. - Research, analyze and evaluate the current state of financial performance at Minh Thai Co.,Ltd through the targets in finance.focusing on results of the period for 2018-2020.
