COMPETITIVE PROFILE MATRIX.6 INTERNAL FACTOR EVALUATION MATRIX (IFE).37 INTRODUCTION 1 Currently, Vietnam has more than 130 credit institutions including 5 state- owned commercial banks, 36 joint stock banks, 5 banks with 100% foreign funds and 5 joint venture banks. During the period 2006 – 2007, the number of banks had increased rapidly when Vietnam has allowed the establishment of new banks and encourage the banks expanding their scales and operations for the first time over a decade. At that time, many State Bank’s experts and officials evaluated that bank is most profitable investment channels. There were many groups, state-owned corporations without experience in financial investment and bank administrative operation had wishes to have their own banks.
The number of over 130 credit institutions is whether redundant, sufficient or less than the Vietnam's economy demand has not been answered satisfactorily. However managers, professionals and even the banks’ administrators have identified that Vietnamese banking system is fragmented activities, inefficiency and even like a threat to the economy if it is not reformed timely. In the fierce competition context, banks which desire to develop and improve competitiveness, should build an appropriate and flexible business strategy. Although, the Lien Viet Post Joint Stock Commercial Bank (LienVietBank) has just started for over 3 years, thanks to properly policies and orientation with the efforts of all staff, the bank have achieved several notable achievements: since its establishment in April 2008, the chartered capital was 3,300 VND billion.
However, the bank’s total assets has gone up to 55,000 VND billion by November 2011 (Source: Banking and Finance Unit, LienVietBank) and shareholders will be paid in cash per their dividends value at least 15%/year. 2 Currently, the world and Vietnamese economy in particular are suffering from crises. The fierce competition takes place in all areas of business, thus setting up development strategy for LienVietBank during 2011 - 2015 is essential. As a group of students which have two members working in the banking sector, two remaining members also regularly deals with banks and a special member currently is working at LienVietBank, our group has decided to name the graduation thesis: "Building development strategy for joint-stock commercial bank the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications LienVietBank during the period 2011 - 2015".
Topic contents including: Chapter I: Strategic management fundamental theory of an enterprise Chapter II: Analyzing LienVietBank’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat Chapter III: Selecting strategies for LienVietBank in the period 2011 – 2015. 3 CHAPTER I: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FUNDAMENTAL THEORY OF AN ENTERPRISE 4 I. STRATEGY AND ITS ROLE 1. Strategic concepts: As the traditional view, strategy is to identify the organization basic long- term goals to set up specific action plans together with appropriate use of resources in order to achieve objectives.
Strategy is a consistent and comprehensive plan which is designed to ensure implementation of the organization long-term goals. Business strategy may have the development in geography, diversification in operations, promoting products, reducing expenses, trading and merging. According to Michael E. Porter, “Strategy is the building art of solid competitive advantages in order to defend”.
Strategic roles: - Assist enterprise identify purposes and directions in order to select solutions for reaching goals. - Assist enterprise make decisions in accordance with variable business market in order to improve productivity and efficiency. - Assist enterprise identify opportunities and challenges, strengths and weaknesses in order to adjust, grasp at opportunities and develop measures for preventing from threats. - Assist enterprise choose advantage competitiveness, appropriate directions in order to operate stability and growth to improve capability as well as competitive position.
Strategic classification: The strategic management process is similarity at each level including: market analysis, identifying goals and missions, selecting strategy, implementation and supervising. In this topic, we consider strategic management at three basic levels such as enterprise, business unit and functional unit.Strategy for enterprise level: 5 Strategy for enterprise level relates to the enterprise’s overall goals and scale to ensure its growth capacity. It aims to announce the enterprise’s long-term goals and development orientation. Strategy for enterprise level can be penetration and expanding market, developing new product, doing joint-venture, etc.Strategy for business unit level In an enterprise, strategy for business unit level can be a business field or a specific product.
Strategic business relates to how an enterprise can compete successfully in a particular market. It must show how the enterprise should compete in different business sectors as well as define competitive position for business unit levels. Besides, it should also indicate how to distribute resources efficiently. In the market oriented economy, marketing activities play an important role in order to associate with functional units to create differentiation and low-cost strategies, etc.Strategy for functional unit level Each enterprise has functional units such as business, human resources, accounting and finance, manufacturing, etc.
Functional strategy relates to how the above mentioned units will be organized to implement oriented strategies at enterprise level. Functional unit strategy indicates targets and short-term action plans which are used by functional areas to achieve functional units’ short-term and enterprise’s long-term goals. In addition, functional unit strategy aims to settle two matters relating to functional areas. First, it satisfies operational environment for functional areas.
Second, it coordinates with differential function policies. STRATEGY SETTING PROCESS 6 In the market oriented economy, if there is no suitable business strategy, business will not able survive and develop in a variable business market. In fact, successful enterprises in the marketplace have proven that the large enterprises are stronger and adaptable faster in competitive environment. They have appropriate action plans and take good advantages of available opportunities while limit risks on the basis of promoting strengths and overcome weaknesses in the enterprises themselves.
Enterprise strategy is designed in a three-step process as follows: Diagram 1.1: Developing enterprise strategy process (Source: Competitive Strategy.Strategic goal definition Enterprises usually have long-term and short-term goals. The long-term goal is achieved after a long time. The short-term target is often specific and able to point out detailed results in one year time. Hence, develop and implement strategic plans is leader’s important task.
A good strategy should be based on the enterprise vision, core values and missions. Strategic analysis Strategic analysis is the study on factors which affect the enterprise production process. These factors are external environment and internal enterprise. It is necessary for enterprise to analyze each factor in detail to have an overall view.
Macro environment analysis (PEST) PEST is an analytical tool relating to enterprise’s macro factors and external business environment. - Politics factors: How do we consider the government characteristics and political environment stability? Will government policies affect legal system and regulations on business, tax, trade policies and tariff. - Economic factors: The problems of business cycles, economic growth, inflation and interest rates, unemployment rate, etc. - Social factors: Considering the population growth rate, age, lifestyle, consumption habit, working culture, religion, and gender role, etc.
- Technology factors: The impact of technology, research and development activities and technology transfer matters. External environment evaluation External environment analysis focuses on identifying and evaluating trends, events which are beyond the enterprise control. Considering external environment will show opportunities and risks that enterprise often copes with in order to set up appropriate strategy to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid or minimize risky effects. There are several external environment effects such as impacts on economy, culture, political legislation, technology and competitiveness, etc.

- Technology factors: The impact of technology, research and development activities and technology transfer matters.Industry analysis Each industry has differential competitive forces.Porter had set up a five- competitive forces model in order to assist managers in analyzing industrial environment.2: five-competitive forces (M.Supplier power analysis The number of supplier reflects their competitive pressure and negotiated power on enterprises. If there is a few suppliers, they will impact strongly on enterprises and vice versa. Meanwhile, the importance of suppliers is based on products’ quantity and variety, adaptability and transferring cost.2Customer competitive pressure analysis: Customers affect directly the enterprise’s success or failure. They include consumers and distribution systems.
Customers always create pressure on enterprise’s prices, products and services quality. They also create competitive pressure through scale, negotiation power the important of products and commodities replacement ability. In particularly, large distributors have strong negotiation power which enable them to involve in enterprises’ internal works.Analyzing competitive pressure from replacement products: Replacement product is a product which satisfies the demand as well as the industry current product. Hence, it pressures enterprises in the industry on market and customers.
Accordingly, when the product replacement ability is increasing, the competitive pressure will be imposed stronger. Furthermore, changing in market demand is also an important factor for creating the threat.
