II LITERATURE REVIEW AND CRITICAL ANALYSIS A LITERATURE REVIEW

1 Organization structure

Organization Structure is a set of personnel, departments, and relationships among individuals in the organization Besides, it also includes many other components, but all have the purpose of shaping the structure of that organization

2 Planning and decision-making process

2.1 Planning process

• Organizational Goals

Goals are critical to organizational effectiveness, and they serve a number of purposes Organizations can also have several different kinds of goals, all of which must be appropriately managed And a number of different kinds of managers must be involved in setting goals

• Goals serve four important purposes:

Group Assignment MGT103–- Goal-setting practices strongly affect other aspects of planning

- Goals can serve as a source of motivation for an organization’s employees - Goals provide an effective mechanism for evaluation and control

• Kinds of Organizational Plans

Organizations establish many different kinds of plans At a general level, these include strategic, tactical, and operational plans

- Strategic Plans: Strategic plans are developed to achieve strategic goals More

precisely, a strategic plan is a general plan outlining decisions about resource allocation, priorities, and action steps necessary to reach strategic goals These

plans are set by the board of directors and top management, generally have an extended time horizon, and address questions of scope, resource deployment,

competitive advantage, and synergy

Group Assignment MGT103–

- Tactical Plans: A tactical plan, aimed at achieving tactical goals, is developed

to implement specific parts of a strategic plan Tactical plans typically involve upper and middle management and, compared with strategic plans, have a

somewhat shorter time horizon and a more specific and concrete focus Thus, tactical plans are concerned more with actually getting things done than with deciding what to do

- Operational Plans: An operational plan focuses on carrying out tactical plans

to achieve operational goals Developed by middle- and lower-level managers, operational plans have a short-term focus and are relatively narrow in scope Each one deals with a fairly small set of activities

• Types of decision:

- Programmed decisions: A decision that is relatively structured or recurs with

some frequency (or both)

- Nonprogrammed decisions: A decision that is relatively unstructured and

occurs much less often than a programmed decision • Decision-making conditions

- Decision Making Under Certainty: A condition in which the decision-maker

knows with reasonable certainty what the alternatives are and what conditions are associated with each alternative

- Decision Making Under Risk: A condition in which the availability of each

alternative and its potential payoffs and costs are all associated with probability estimates

Group Assignment MGT103–

- Decision Making Under Uncertainty: A condition in which the decision-maker

does not know all the alternatives, the risks associated with each, or the likely consequences of each alternative

• Steps in Rational Decision Making

3 Evaluating alternatives Each alternative is evaluated to determine its feasibility, its satisfactoriness, and its consequences

4 Selecting the best alternative

Consider all situational factors, and choose the alternative that best fits the manager’s situation

5 Implementing the chosen alternative

The chosen alternative is implemented into the organizational system

6 Following up and evaluating the results

At some time in the future, the manager should ascertain the extent to which the alternative chosen in Step 4 and implemented in Step 5 has worked

achieve the desired ends of the business

In business, it is the long-range sketch of the desired image, direction, and

destination of the organization It is a scheme of corporate intent and action, which is carefully planned and flexibly designed with the purpose of:

- Achieving effectiveness,

- Perceiving and utilizing opportunities, - Mobilizing resources,

Group Assignment MGT103–- Securing an advantageous position,

known as business-level strategies It is developed by the general managers,

who convert mission and vision into concrete strategies It is like a blueprint of the entire business

- Functional level strategy: Developed by the first-line managers or supervisors,

functional level strategy involves decision making at the operational level concerning particular functional areas like marketing, production, human

resource, research and development, finance, and so on

and development, performance planning and evaluation, and Compensation and benefits • Human resource management (HRM): The set of organizational activities

B CRITICAL ANALYSIS

1 Organization structure

1.1 Old & New organizational structure

Like most companies in Vietnam, Vinamilk uses a functional structure design It is based on the functional approach to departmentalization, members and units in the

organization are grouped into functional departments But functional structure designs are most commonly used in small organizations Vinamilk used this old organizational

structure for years, in which the Supervisory Board did not fully perform its role as well as it could On the other hand, it promotes a functional, rather than an organizational, focus and tends to promote centralization

Group Assignment MGT103–

The old organizational structure of Vinamilk

This leading to some disadvantages for the long-term development of Vinamilk: - Easy conflicts between functional units when setting goals or strategies - Lack of coordination of actions between functional departments

- The supervisory board does not meet the supervisory role, does not have access to the administrative reality → the function is almost disabled

Vinamilk is not the first firm to set up a new model, but Vinamilk is a pioneer in deploying the world's advanced model (without a Supervisory Board) and has been

stipulated in the Enterprise Law 2015 which came into effect from 1/7/2015

Instead, the Auditing Subcommittee under the Board of Directors will be primarily responsible for ensuring that the Company has an effective internal control and risk management system

Group Assignment MGT103–

The new organizational structure of Vinamilk

New structure → remove Board of Supervisors • Advantages of the new structure: - More flexibility in administration - Promote the expertise of each unit - Simplify training

With the model without a supervisory board (the supervisory function was transferred to the Board of Directors, removing the Supervisory Board) The Board of Directors now will have the participation of independent members with prestige and professional competence, especially in control and auditing

1.2 Attribute analysis of organization structure

Group Assignment MGT103–a Specialization

• Functional specialization:

marketing, accounting, human resources, media, and finance

- Group of all features in another area of another address includes International, North, South, Central

- The organization is divided into units where each unit is capable of designing

and marketing products such as marketing department, sales department, design product

• Specialization of parts according to customers:

b Parts form

The company has divided the parts in the following ways:

- Division by time: The form of division of departments used at all levels in the company is the grouping of activities by time (shifts, crews)

- Division by function: The grouping of activities with the same expertise into functions that are widely used in practice Here, Vinamilk Vietnam dairy

company has established departments to take care of functions such as raw material area development, production and product development, information

technology, human resources, marketing, sales, etc Each of those departments is further divided into small units to take care of the development of new products, supply of raw materials, materials, marketing research, propaganda,

and advertising

Group Assignment MGT103–- Division by territory: This method is applied in the establishment of divisions

and branches of the company by territory

- Segmentation by product: Because Vinamilk Vietnam dairy company deals in many types of products, they have established specialized trading units for each different product type and introduced production technology and production processes different marketing strategies
