The product nature of tobacco is harmful for health. Since this fact is already proven by researches and statistics data of tobacco related diseases, tobacco industry in the world is facing increasing opposition from health and social organizations and governments. However, this industry is getting high profit margin compared to many other industries. In short, this industry is a distinctive industry with high profitability but is facing with increasing social pressure, leading to declined market. Secondly, tobacco market in Vietnam is expanding, but in the future tobacco demand tends to decrease. Tobacco market in Vietnam is currently expanding with high smoking incidence of 55% (Smoking incidence is the ratio of smokers per people at the smoking age from eighteen to sixty five years old. In Vietnam, this ratio is calculated among men only because the number of women smokers is too small to measure) [Euromonitor, tobacco industry, 2005]. According to General Consumer Survey carried out by AC Nielson, this smoking incidence is higher than 60%. The market volume grows at 3% annually for the past five years, according to statistics from Retail Audit in tobacco market. However, rising income and higher health awareness among Vietnamese people, together with government control and pressure from social organizations will change this current increasing trend into a downtrend future. 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Last but not least, competition in tobacco market in Vietnam is becoming fiercer. Because tobacco markets in developed countries are declining, international tobacco companies must seek growth from developing countries markets like in Vietnam. Currently, there are four foreign tobacco companies and one local tobacco corporation operating in Vietnam market. Illegally imported products are one participant in the market as well. It is not to mention that new entrants could find their way into the market. All are trying to enlarge their pieces in this market, making the industry more competitive. All these above mentioned reasons necessitate a study on tobacco industry in Vietnam and recommend the appropriate competitive strategy for British American Tobacco Vietnam. 2 THE OBJECTIVES AND AIM This thesis aims at:  Analyzing the external macro environment of tobacco industry in Vietnam  Analyzing the impact of Vietnam tobacco industry structure on British American Tobacco Vietnam (BATV)  Analyzing BATV competitive advantages in Vietnam market  Recommending competitive strategy for BATV The study will revise the theoretical foundation of external macro environment analysis, industry structural analysis and competitive strategy, thus applying into Vietnam tobacco industry and the competitive advantages of British American 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Tobacco Vietnam. From that, the study could recommend on how the company could enhance and build its competitive strategy effectively. 3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS The research has the following questions to answer:  How are the factors of the external macro environment in Vietnam tobacco industry and their influence on BATV?  How are the impacts of tobacco industry structure on BATV?  What are the current competitive advantages of British American Tobacco Vietnam in Vietnam tobacco market?  How to better define BATV competitive strategy in Vietnam tobacco market? 4 SCOPE OF WORK The thesis studies tobacco industry in Vietnam in the past three years, including analyzing external macro environment of the industry at present, industry structural impact on the company, Vietnam tobacco market trends and the competitive advantages of BATV. Porter‟s Five Forces and the Generic Competitive Strategy are theoretical foundations for the study. 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 5 DATA SOURCES AND PROCESSING This thesis focuses on using secondary data to analyze the tobacco industry in Vietnam based on theoretical foundation. Data and information on Vietnam tobacco market could be found in General Consumer Survey in tobacco market and retail audit by AC Nielson in 2005. Besides, other international tobacco sources of information are referred to forecast the trend of tobacco industry in Vietnam. These sources are Tobacco reports website; social organizations‟ reports on tobacco industry, Euromonitor report on tobacco industry in the world. Other inputs are from consulting with people working in the tobacco industry and non-profit organizations. 6 METHODS/ APPROACHES The method used in this thesis is empirical, using theoretical foundation of External Macro Environment analysis, Industry Structure analysis and Generic Competitive Strategy to apply in Vietnam tobacco industry and British American Tobacco Vietnam analysis. 7 SIGNIFICANCE This study benefits the company (British American Tobacco Vietnam) in reviewing and better understanding the impact of external environment factors and industry 4 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com structure on the company, its competitive advantages, thus paving the way for its sharpening of competitive strategy. In addition, this thesis could serve as reference to the theory on external environment analysis, industry structural analysis and competitive strategy theory with theoretical application on a specific industry and a specific company in Vietnam market. 8 LIMITATIONS Due to the distinctive characteristic of tobacco product, data and information about this industry is hard to get for better illustrating the analysis. The thesis focuses on the case of BATV only but could not analyze its competitors with detailed information and data since information on competitors is either hard to get or has low level of accuracy. 9 EXPECTED FINDINGS From the pre-determined problem and objectives of this study, it is expected to effectively apply theoretical foundations into analyzing external environment, industry structural impact on BATV, together with the company competitive advantages, from then to properly recommend BATV competitive strategy. 10 SHORT INTRODUCTION The thesis consists of four chapters. 5 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The introduction provides an overview of the thesis, its background, necessity, purpose and contributions.
