is LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com the strongest barrier against foreign rivals, and is the only way to sustain our growth and profits 1.2 Services 1.2.1 Service concept Services are a common concept in marketing and in business Have many ways to define a service: According (Zeithaml and Bitner, 2000) claim that services are behaviors, too process and how to perform a task to create value for use customers satisfy customers' needs and expectations According to Philip Kotler and Armstrong (1991), services are all activities and ends indeed, one party can provide the other, mostly intangible, with no leads ownership of something Its products may or may not be attached to one material products According to ISO 8402: 1999, services are the results produced to meet requirements of customers by contact activities between suppliers - customers and supplier's internal operations In a nutshell: the service is a "special product", it includes all support that customers expect, beyond basic services, consistent with price, picture and related reputation 1.2.2 Service characteristics LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Services are a "special product", mostly invisible, not leading to ownership of something Therefore, the service has many other characteristics For common goods: ► Invisibility of services: unlike material products, translation service cannot be held, held, heard, or seen before purchase Guest the goods only receive the product or service as soon as it is delivered and therefore, to reduce uncertainty, buyers will look for signs or material evidence of service quality such as people, information, location points, device icons, prices they see For the reason being invisible businesses and customers find it difficult to perceive about service and service quality assessment ► Inseparability: this feature assumes a service delivery process a continuous occurrence, that is, the process of providing and receiving services begins at the same time, at the same time with the client's presence throughout the time manufacturing Therefore, the quality of service will be very unpredictable and will be based on subjective judgment of the customer and of course, we cannot accumulate, service reserves as well as pre-testing ► Heterogeneity, instability: The quality of the service depends performers, times and locations provided Therefore, you can rely on the last test to assess the quality of your service provided This is an important trait that suppliers should keep in mind if want to improve the quality of its services Organization can overcome by how to invest in recruitment and training, staff training; at the same time standardize implementation processes, and monitor and measure satisfaction regular customers LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ► Fragility, not keeping: Because invisible, service is given is very fragile, neither the provider nor the receiver can save retain, cannot be sold or sold for a later period 1.3 Quality of service 1.3.1 Definition of service quality From the perspective of service, we find it difficult to fully define quality of service because it is also intangible Guest goods received this product through communication activities, receiving information and feel The salient feature is that customers can only rate the whole thing quality of the service after purchasing and using them Customer reviews Service quality is based on attitude, subjectivity, and perceived ability As Zeithaml (1987) explains service quality as customer appreciation about the transcendence and the general excellence of an entity That is one the form of attitude and the consequences of a comparison between what is expected and awareness of what we receive Lewis and Booms (1983) think that service is a measure of service level delivered to customers is as good as our expectations are Creating a quality service means meeting customer expectations consistently According to Parasurman, Zeithaml and Berry (1985, 1988), the service quality is viewed as the gap between service expectations and customer perceptions LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com goods when using the service And ISO 9000: 2000 considers service quality as the level of a set inherent characteristics of the service to meet the needs and expectations of the guests and stakeholders (Ta Thi Kieu An et al., 2010) Because of the quality of service related to the expectations of the customers as well like their perceptions of service Therefore the quality of service is difficult to assess There are usually three basic levels of assessment of service quality: ► Good service quality when customers feel that the service exceeds their expectations ► Satisfied service quality when customers feel in accordance with their expectations ► Poor service quality is when customers feel below their expectations for the service Therefore, in order to retain customers, businesses must make sure their services are always well evaluated There is such a new business exists and sustainable development 1.3.2 Characteristics of service quality Service quality has the following characteristics: ► The first characteristic, according to professor Noriaki Kano (1984), is the attribute of A service is divided into three levels: ● Level is the basic expectations that a service must have These are LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com attributes that customers not mention but they take for granted must have Failure to meet these properties will result in the service being denied and denied excluded from the market because customers are frustrated ● Level are specific requirements or one-way attributes These properties are often referred to as a function desired customer The higher the level of responsiveness, the more customers feel satisfied ● Level is the attractive element of a product or service This is factors create surprises, make a difference compared to the same type of service prime However, this element is not constant, over time it will become basic expectations that a service must meet From this it can be seen that want to meet the needs of customers and organizations It is important to define attributes at each level to support effective investment more efficiently, resources are more focused and satisfying daily customer needs the better Besides, when you understand the three levels of attributes mentioned above, organizations will limit the misinterpretation of customer needs survey results ► The second characteristic of service quality is specific market conditions Any business process, what kind of product must be attached with a definite market A highly regarded service in the school it meets the existing market needs as well as requirements by stakeholders ► The third characteristic is also a key element of that service quality is to measure customer satisfaction Service quality is measured by customer satisfaction Therefore, the most important thing of any which business process is listening to the real user voice? Understanding the characteristics of service quality will help organizations respond better and better to customer needs 1.4 Overview of logistics LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 1.4.1 Concept and characteristics of logistics Logistics is a very broad term and in fact there are many different definitions of logistics and it is hard to say which is the best one But summarizing those remarks, please provide a definition that is considered to be the most complete and most widely used is the definition of the United States Logistics Management Council (LCM-Council of Logistics Management) “Logistics is the process of planning, organizing, implementing and controlling the process of movement, storage of goods and services and related information from the first departure point to the final consumption place in an effective manner and in line with customer requirements ” In Vietnam, according to the provisions of the commercial law, in section 23, Article 233 provides: Logistics is a commercial activity, thereby performing tasks including receiving goods, transporting, warehousing, warehousing , customs procedures, other documents, customer advice, packaging, symbols, delivery and other services related to goods as agreed with customers to enjoy remuneration 1.4.2 Characteristics of Logistics From the perspective of logistics, it can be seen that logistics has the following basic characteristics: + Logistics is an integrated process Logistics is not a single activity but a process that consists of a series of continuous, closely related and interrelated activities, carried out scientifically and systematically through stages: research, planning, organization, management, control, adjustment Logistics is a system of transferring material and 10 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com - An inevitable trend of today's era is globalization of the world economy Any country or industry, regardless of big or small, new or old, wants to exist and develop, it must accept and actively participate in this new trend Globalization makes trade between countries and regions in the world flourish and will naturally lead to new demands for transportation, warehousing, ancillary services, The new trend of The era will lead to the inevitable development of Logistics - Global Logistics (Global Logistics) According to the forecast, in the following years logistics will develop following some main trends: - Application of information technology, e-commerce is more and more popular and extensive in the fields of logistics such as global supply chain management information system, radio frequency identification technology because the faster and more accurate the information is transmitted, the more effective the decisions in the logistics system - Develop cooperation and cooperation in the process of implementing global logistics services Today the trend of linking to coordinate logistics activities across the globe is growing strongly This cooperation will help global logistics service providers share common logistics resources in different locations such as warehouse services, transportation services, etc This linkage creates the perfect supply chains and benefits both parties in time and cost savings - The emergence of logistics 4th and 5th parties (4PL, 5PL) PL is an integrator, responsible for managing logistics flows, providing supply chain solutions, planning, logistics consulting, transport management, etc PL aims to manage the whole process logistics, such as receiving goods from the place of production, carrying out import and export procedures, delivering goods to the final destination With the development of e-commerce, people have mentioned the concept of 5th party logistics (5PL) PL is developed for e-commerce, PL service providers 72 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com are PL and PL, managing the entire distribution chain based on e-commerce platform Trends in Vietnam According to statistics, currently Vietnam has about 3000 enterprises operating in the field of logistics There is an emerging phenomenon of "logistics houses and logistics workers" Such mass production is true but in fact these units are only the second providers of logistics services, meaning just hire for foreign businesses and provide basic logistics services such as customs, transportation, A small number of businesses have just reached the level of a third logistics service provider, which provides services as a bridge between suppliers and users In other words, we still lack door-to-door logistics providers The major source of profit from logistics services is not in the hands of Vietnamese businesses but flowing into foreign logistics service companies' pockets A great source of income on home turf has not been taken advantage of by Vietnam businesses, but they are working for foreign corporations The new Vietnam services she has a very small part of the huge and growing pie of the logistics service market At Tico logistics company: Tico logistics is no exception, although trying to develop to be able to stand firm in the market economy, but want the logistics service package "Door to Door" In order to have a first step of development, Tico logistics must overcome the following problems: Existing 1: Currently Tico logistics does not have a branch in a foreign country, forwarding activities on an international scale, especially Door to Door forwarding 73 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com must be through an agent abroad Therefore, Tico logistics must have a significant foreign currency revenue, and not control the process of transporting goods from Port / Airport to the consignee's own warehouse in the importing country, as well as changes in the cost in the situation competition that Tico Logistics does not know Most of Door-to-Door forwarding activities are on behalf of foreign forwarders, thus limiting the initiative in exploiting foreign goods markets when goods are imported to Vietnam Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee the consignee or take the right to transport from warehouse to warehouse for imported goods, and usually Port / Airport to Door Exist 2: Quality of delivery Door to Door is not yet comprehensive Transport infrastructure, warehousing are still weak, still have to use outsourced services, not proactive or control all transportation, limitations in Door to Door delivery process leading to goods on time, location, risk with high costs - Moreover, Tico logistics also uses the traditional information system (telephone, fax, mail) to exchange information, send and receive documents without any software or information system connecting with partners of only me - Limited human resources, especially their own partners Exist 3: Infrastructure is weak - Information technology has not yet caught up with foreign companies, especially in the management stage (warehouses, fleets of vehicles, goods, ) - Still lacking reception room - There are still some obsolete machines and equipment that need to be upgraded or replaced 74 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Existing 4: Currently, Tico logistics does not have a separate functional marketing department for the whole company operation but only 2-3 main people, serving marketing in each separate business department Lacking a comprehensive marketing strategy, forwarding marketing activities are still passive, only relying on the main agent, not actively exploring and exploiting the market Exist 5: How to diversify types of services and improve service quality to customers - Currently, the sea freight service is still the main company, it needs to improve operations to attract and increase customers for air and domestic goods - Customer care has not been focused yet 4.3 The solution is to improve the forwarding service by the Door to Door method at Tico Logistics 4.3.1 Solution 1: Establishing foreign branches in countries with trade relations, strong trade potential with Vietnam Currently setting up overseas branches is really difficult for Tico logistics as well as for other businesses in the same industry But the long-term strategy requires them to set up a network of overseas branches, possibly to stand firm on the international forwarding market in the face of globalization in this field Purpose: Exploiting the foreign market has the potential to exploit freight forwarding and competitiveness 75 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Enhance control of goods when performing freight forwarding segments Content of the solution - Establishing branches in countries with strong foreign economic relations with Vietnam - When establishing a branch in a foreign country, it is necessary to study and quantify the growth potential for freight forwarding activities in that country That is, it is possible to identify the volume of goods traded between the two parties and predict the future increase, while also determining the level of competition in the service industry in that market - We take a total of countries that have trade and trade relations with Vietnam, then determine our major export and import markets, determine the volume of goods containerized or console in foreign transport In order to open a branch, it is necessary to open a branch In addition, it is also necessary to determine the trend of bilateral diplomatic cooperation between two or more parties that have a great influence on the increase or decrease of import output or turnover in our country Therefore, it is possible to determine the possibility of developing forward-looking volume in the future, thereby establishing a branch in a foreign country, promoting its effectiveness and exploiting a large forwarding market in foreign countries Besides, an important factor that greatly affects the delivery and receipt of goods, it is necessary to focus on surveying countries with large foreign investment capital into Vietnam, especially large capital flows of investment into export processing zones - Based on export turnover and important developments on external economic relations between Vietnam and other countries in the region and the world, at the 76 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com same time with the ability of Tico logistics company can propose Countries have great potential to set up branches here: Markets in Southeast Asia will have positive changes in the coming years, when free trade takes place, pushing the volume of circulation and transport of goods among countries in the region to increase At the same time, Vietnam is a member of the Asian bloc, joining the WTO is a favorable environment for long-term and sustainable business cooperation In which, China, India, Malaysia are markets with highly developed, forecast and sustainable economy So establishing a branch in the Chinese market is the most promising, followed by India and Malaysia Tico Logistics is a joint stock company, so it will be more convenient to raise capital from the establishment of a foreign branch It is possible to issue additional securities to mobilize both domestic and foreign capital Or, Tico Logistics will enter into joint ventures with well-known forwarding and transport firms in those countries or partners who have been or are currently having business relations, prestige and sustainability Conditions for implementation When acting as Door to Door freight forwarder, selecting a foreign agent is essential, it is necessary to consider and understand the object to be able to trust them to perform their delivery on their behalf The company should choose famous and reputable forwarders as agents to ensure the entire business takes place effectively Establishing a foreign branch requires a really good service of the entire business operations of the company Compare Disadvantage Investment 100% asset - Capital Venture - Profit 77 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com - Customer - Operate operations - Personnel - Law and culture - Business experience Advantage - Profit - Capital - Autonomy in operating - Customer - Personnel activities - Law and culture - Business experience The table compares the two options for establishing a foreign branch So in both directions, each plan has its advantages and disadvantages But considering Tico logistics nowadays, the most appropriate solution is To succeed in expanding business operations to international markets, Tico logistics must now have a strategy to train personnel in the company, adapt to the pressure of international business, accumulate first reserve Investment and development of the company to prepare financial resources in the future Predict how effective it will be - Increase sales of goods imported to Vietnam and goods exported from Vietnam by the Door to Door method by which Tico logistics is the carrier - Market share of foreign forwarding, can be entrusted to transport goods of domestic customers to other countries -
