CAPSTONE PROJECT REPORT SUBJECT: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Tittle: BUSINESS STRATEGIES IN 2010 -2015 OF LICOGI 16 JSC
FOREWORD
Modern business environment has been daily changing To date, Vietnam has been
considered as one of the fastest growing economies, not only in Asia, but in the
world as well Since the 1986 economic opening policy start, Vietnam has undergone nearly 30 years of striving toward a real market economy An important landmark in the integration process of Vietnam in the global economy is the event when the nation was admitted to World Trade Organization (WTO) Such a lot of changes have been achieved and are expected to be implemented in 2010-2015 period Under the general assessments of Ministry of Planning and Investment
(MPI), Vietnam’s socio-economic conditions and situations in six first months of
2009 have been under the positive changes with the GDP growth rate of 3.9% Value of industrial production is estimated to be about VND342.2 trillion (16.5%), higher than that of the same year with 4.8% increase Some localities such as Quang
Ninh, Ba Ria-Vung Tau have high industrial growth rates of 11.5% and 10.6%
respectively
Agricultural, forestry and fishery industries have overcome difficulties to reach good results with the estimated value of VND96.6 trillion in first six months, a year-on-year 2.5% increase
Despite a mount of economic difficulties, decreased consumption demands, the
combined retail value and turnover from services in June have still gained the
growth rate of 2.3% (to VND94 trillion) from that of May, raising the total flow of goods and social services in first six month up to VND547 trillion, a 20% increase compared with the same period

Trang 10Griccd GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
Volume of export in first six months of 2009 is estimated to be up to USD$27.6 billion, a 10.1% decrease from the same period However, according to Ministry of
Industry and Trade, if calculated by the quantity (volume of exporting crude oil and
minerals is decreased) and absolute value due to the exclusion of sudden increases
in oil price of the year 2008, the export turnover of first six months of 2009 is still increased from the same period of the year 2008
For import, import value in June of 2009 is estimated to be USD$5.9 billion, a 4.1% increase from that of May 2009 Combined import value of first six months is USD$29.7 billion, a fall of 34% from the same period of the previous year
However, June also is the third consecutive month when Vietnam restarted the
overbalance of import after three first months of export surplus MPI forecast only for June in import excess can be up to USD$ 1 billion and combined for six moths up to more than USD$2 billion
State collection computed under the progressive calculation since the early year till first half of the year is estimated to be about VND171 trillion, accounting for 49.3% of the general estimate of the year This is evaluated to the good turnover level Necessity of building strategies, objectives and applications
a Proposal

CHAPTER 1
THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS
1.1 Conceptions about strategies and strategic business management 1.1.1 Conceptions about the business strategies
The scholar Dao Duy Anh said in the Vietnamese Dicitionary: Strategy is plans set out to win in one or multiple battlefields
From 1960s of the previous century, strategies were applied to business and the term “business strategy” was born With different time and approach, there are various business strategies:
In 1962, Chandler defined the strategy: is seen as the determination of the basic long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources necessary for carrying out these goals and objectives
In 1980, Quinn issued a more general definition "the pattern or plan that integrates an organization's goals, policies and action sequences into a cohesive whole A well-formulated strategy helps to marshal and allocate an organization's resources into a unique and viable posture based on its relative internal competencies and shortcomings, anticipated changes in the environment and conligent moves by intelligent opponents"
Johson and Scholes defined the strategy under the environment with rapid changces: "Strategy is the direction and scope of an organization over the long term: ideally which matches its resources to its changing environment"
In spite of any approach, the nature of approaches is still to illustrate the future enterprise image in the operational field and capacity of exploitation Accordingly, the term “business strategy” is used with three major meanings:
- 4
Trang 13GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
- To determine the long-term objectives and goals of the enterprise - To work out general action plans
- To select action plans, allocating resources to implement such objecticves It can be said that the construction and implementation of real strategies have become the top tasks and an important functional content of the business management and widely applied in the enterprises The current popular viewpoints are that “Competitive strategy is the art of combining activities and controlling them in order to reach the long-term objectives of the enterprise”
1.1.2 Concepts of the strategic management
Garry D.Smit said that “Strategic management is the process of studying current environments as well as environments in the future, planning goals and objectives of the organization; setting out and inspecting the implementation of decisions to achieve objectives in the current and future environments "
1.2 Procedures of building strategies
In order to buil up strategies for the organization with high feasibility, it is required to determine competitive advantages, strengths, weaknesses of the enterprise, in
which the competitive edge is the core factor for analyzing and building the
strategy Competitive advantages may be capacity in the strategic vision of enterprise leaders, leadership competence, financial capacity, personnel, researches and development of products, production technology and lines, network of sales, relationships with partners and compatibility with the changing environment, etc
Process of establishing the strategy shall be implemented by the following steps:

Analysis - Building the strategy Analysis
~ Opportunities - Selecting the strategy — - Strengths
- Threats - Weaknesses
When building the business strategy, depending on the business situation, enterprises can flexibly implement steps of establishing the business strategies The organization can determine goals and objectives before analyzing the environment and setting out strategic objectives and goals Depending on viewpoints, it 1s possible to apply various strategies,
1.2.1 Building and selecting the strategy
Objectives of building and selecting strategies are to establish long-term goals and alternative strategies and select some of them for pursuit Building and selecting the strategy aim at setting out a string of actions which can help the enterprise to reach its mission as well as goals and objectives Based on the current strategic foundations of the enterprise, goals, objectives and misisons shall be combined with evaluation internal and external environments to have support strategies
The enterprise cannot respectively select every alternative strategy because it will cost a lot of time and not be effective Therefore, it is necessary to select a set of strategies considered as the optimal ones for development and we should consider and assess favorable conditions, disadvantages, costs and benefits which can come from this strategy; at the same time, it is imperative to master methods and ways of application, especially the use of models to select appropriate business models for
Trang 15GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
its business and production operations such as analyzing strategies on the SWOT
matrix, SPQM, etc
Strategic management is divided into three major phases of planning, implementing and assessing the strategy
The focus of this paper shall be on the first phase: Planning the strategies for the enterprise and we will deeply analyze this process, including the analysis of business environment, external environment such as macro environment, branch environment, internal factors of management, personnel, marketing, finance- accounting, production and operation, research and development (R&D), information system, etc
1.2.2 Analyzing the operational environment of the enterprise
Analyzing the business environment is the process where strategists inspect,
consider various environmental factors such as socio-economic, cultural,
technological factors, suppliers, distributors, etc, then seek for opportunities and detect challenges
1.2.2.1 Analyzing the macro environment
1) Economic environment
The economic environment points out nature and orientation of the economy in which the enterprise operates Effects of the economy on an organization can change the capacity of creating values and incomes Four important factors in the
macroeconomic environment are the economic growth rate, interest rate, foreign
exchange rate and inflation rate
Economic growth rate can lead to the increase in the customer spending And thus, companies shall have chances to expand activities and get higher profits On contrary, the economic downturn shall result in the fall in spending and thus, it shall
increase the competitive pressure
——— 7
Trang 16GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
Interest rate can affect the demand for products of the Interest rate is an important
factor when the customer must borrow to support his purchase operations for these
categories of products
Foreign exchange rate defines the value of currency among nations The shift of the foreign exchange rate has direct effects over the competitiveness of organizations in the global market
Inflation can reduce the sustainability of the economy; the economy will slowly grow; interest rate is higher and shifts in the foreign exchange rate shall not be
stable When the inflation is increased, we will face difficulties in exactly
forecasting real values of projects in the five years Therefore, working out investment plans shall become risky, unstable and consequently, organizations shall invest in contendation or not dare to invest and then economic activities shall be reduced and finally, the economy shall be pushed into the stagnant status It is the threat for the company
2) Technological environment
Nowaways, the scientific and technological development has undergone a strong development This is a factor with great and direct effects on the business of fields and industries as well as many enterprises Therefore, analyzing and predicting technological changces are extremely important Technological changes have affected the life cycle of products and services They can impact the height of barriers when accessing and re-shaping the branch structure to the grassroot
3) Socio-economic environment
During the process of implementing the medium and long term strategies, this is the factor with the most changes Lifestyles which have automatically changed in the directions of accepting new lifestyles are always opportunities for many producers Enterprises must also pay close attention to attitude of the consumers, changes in the age tower, role of women at the workplace and in family, geographical distribution, community of ethnic groups and distribution of income The higher
— 8
Trang 17GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
people’s cultural standard is, the greater the diversity becomes for the
manufacturers
4) Natural environment
Clever strategists are often concerned about the climatic and _ ecological
environment Threats due to the unpredictable changes of climate should be
considered and paid attention by enterprises producing and supplying seasonal goods and services
5) Governmental, legal and political environment
Governmental, legal and politcal factors have impacts over the enterprise according different directions They can create chances, obstacles, even risks for an enterprise because the Government is the largest consumer in the economy Political stability, consistence in policies are always attractive to investors Complete lawful and legal system is the solid foundation for a stable business Decisions about the issue of advertising shall be threats for some enterprises (for the case of cigarette manufacturers, alcohol producers, etc) Decisions about taxes and other fees can create opportunities or obstacles to the enterprise Labor law, regulations about
recruitment, appointment, allowance, retirement, unemployment are issues that the
enterprise should pay close attention to
6) Global environment
Trang 18GRIGGS GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
Participation in the World Trade Organization shall help Vietnam to expand the export market, enjoy the most favored nation status and discrimination in the international trade However, threats from global competition shall be stronger 1.2.1.2 Analyzing the industry environment
Industry is a group of companies supplying similar or the same goods or alternative products Ananlyzing the industry environment shall help strategists to define chances and challenges for their organizations According to Michael Porter, there are five competitive forces including threat of entry, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, availability of substitutes and competitive rivalry 1) Analyzing current competitors
Threat pressure from competitors are frequent and direct to the existence and
development of the enterprise Factors effecting the competitive level among current competitors in the industry are competitive structure, number of competitors, competitive scale, growth rate in the industry, fixed costs, storage
costs, differentiation in products and variable expenses, barriers to accession into
and exit out of the industry 2) Analyzing the potential rivals
Potential rivals can be factors reducing the profit of an organization when it operates and exploit new production capacity with the hope of taking over the market share and necessary resources In order to prevent the penetration of new entry rivals, an enterprise should maintain legal barriers to prevent outsiders
3) Analyzing suppliers
Suppliers include suppliers of materials, fuel, capital, labor, etc Suppliers can be considered as threat pressure when they can raise price of oil or reduce quality of goods or services The enterprise can change its strategies toward the suppliers by using the power of buyers in a proper manner
a 10
Trang 19GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
4) Analyzing customers
Customers are integral part of the enterprise Confidence from customers is the most valuable asset of an organization Another important issue related to buyers is the bargaining power They can make the profit reduced by laying pressure on the price, requiring the sellers to improve quality of products, services, supply of more goods and can cause rivals to face each other However, we can change their power by applying the market segment
5) Analyzing substitutes
Substitutes are other products which can satisfy demands of the consumers Its basic
features are often superior to others in special characteristics This threat forces the
enterprise to regularly monitor advances in technology and science directly related to improvements in technology and product Moreover, the change in the market demand is also the important factor causing this change
6) Competitive strategies in the industry
Enterprises in the same industry often have different markets, distribution channels,
product quality, technology, price and advertising programs However, some enterprises in the same industry have been pursuing similar or the same strategies Meanwhile, some others pursue and implement the same basic strategy These enterprises with the same strategy shall form the strategic groups in the same industry
1.2.2.3 Analyzing and assessing the internal enterprise 1) Evaluating the management operations
Management consists of basic functions: planning, organizing the implementation, encouragement, arrangement of personnel and control

control quality, manage finance, sales, assets, expenditure, to analyze variables and
commendations
2) Analyzing the marketing activities
In order to analyze and assess marketing operation in an organization, we will focus On issues such as analyzing customers, sales and purchase, plan on products and services, issue of pricing, distribution; marketing research; to analyze opportunities
and social accountability Based on the current analysis, we must consider whether
the persons in charge of this task demonstrates a market outlook in the future or not, with trends in consumption as well as future markets, supply markets, new trends in consumption and what trend shall dominate, trends in the psychology of the
_ 12
Trang 21GRIGGS GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
consumers and other impacts of the environment in addition to considering scientific foundations and ways of illustration
3) Status quo of finance and accounting
First of all, we will evaluate the good implementation of tasks of the finance-
accounting department During the past time, do staffs have any act due to personal benefits, impacting the general benefits of the enterprise? If employees are dishonest and we fail to illustrate issues arisen from this operation, it shall affect the existence of the enterprise due to the sensitive native of this task
How about the support for finance and accounting operations? Accuracy of targets shall have great impacts over the process of making decisions and objectives in strategic management If, at this part, financial information is wrongly demonstrated, the enterprise can change from the positive earnings to heavy loss On what basis do financial norms are built and on what method of analysis? In the system of norms, it is necessary to carefully review whether norms have mistake or not Firstly, it is the factor of liquidity During the past time, is the factor of liquidity
reduced or increased? Have financing and accounting operations pointed out such
issues? The liquidity factor demonstrates the capacity of converting financial resources into strong amounts, which can be used for the direct payment If the
financial operations fail to compute this issue, fail to propose timely warnings to the
enterprise, they can lead the company to the state of failure in payment, an extremely risky state The second norm which should be considered is the debt leverage The question is that has the debt leverage of the company been increased for the past time or not?
- Assurance of financial safety for the organization
- Level of satisfying the requirements for financing and accounting
- Causes and factors having effects on financing and accounting What
changes are needed?
- How about the strengths and weaknesses in the financing and accounting?

4) Production and operations
Production and operations include all activities aimed at converting input into goods and services The production process consists of two functions: designing the production system (designing production process, selecting technologies, planning the output, selecting the location, arranging the premise, etc) and operating the production system (comprehensive planning, inventory, demands for fuel, materials, production schedule, etc)
5) Analyzing Research and Development (R&D)
Research and Development not only helps the enterprise to enhance the current foot-hold, but also to reach to higher posts in the future Research and development is aimed at developing new products before the rivals, improving the product quality, well-monitoring price or improving the production process to reduce price The research can be carried out in the internal or outsourced Quality of research efforts and development of enterprises can help the enterprises maintain leading position or lag behind in comparison with leading industry competitors
Qualifications, experience and science do not have enough bases for good research
and development Hence, the environmental conditions, information related to technology, products and materials should be regularly inspected
6) Information system
Information links all business functions together and provides the basis for administration decisions The information system improves the quality of administration decisions The information system is an important source of strategic because it receives the raw data from both environments inside and external the organization, tracks the changes of the environment, recognize the threat of competition, support the implementation, evaluation and control strategies In addition, the effective information systems allow the enterprises with special ability
in areas such as low-cost, customer satisfaction service, etc

The information system includes: management information system (provides the internal information of company) and strategy information systems (provides external information: competition, customers, suppliers, | macroscopic environment )
1.2.3 Tools for plan building and strategic choice
Important techniques to the formation and selection of feasible strategies for the enterprises include three phases: The phase of exploring the environment inside and external the enterprise, the phase of analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise and the phase of deciding the strategy selection for business
1.2.3.1, IFE - Internal Factors Environment Analysis
Matrix of Internal Factors Environment (IFE) summarizes and evaluates the important strengths and weaknesses of the functional business departments IFE matrix was developed in five steps:
- Step 1: Making the list of critical success factors as identified in the internal evaluation process This list includes from 10 to 20 elements, including the strengths and weaknesses
- Step 2: Classifying the importance from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (very important) for each factor The classification shows the relative importance
of the factors for the success of company in the field Total levels of
importance must be 1.0
- Step 3: Classifying from 1 to 4 for each element, including: the first
represents the greatest weakness, the second is the smallest weakness, the
third is the smallest strength, the forth is the greatest strength Thus, the classification based on the company
- Step 4: Multiplying the importance of each factor with its’ classification (step 2 multiply step 3) to determine the points of importance
- Step 5: Totalizing the score of the importance for each factor to determine the total important score to the organization
— 15
Trang 24Griccd) GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
Whether how many factors in the inside elements matrix there are , the total highest importance score that a company can achieve is 4.0, the lowest is 1.0 and average is 2.5 Total score greater than 2.5 indicates the company's internal strengths, smaller 2.5 indicates the company's internal weaknesses
1.2.3.2 EFE - External Factors Environment Analysis
Matrix of External Factors Environment helps us summarize and quantify the effects of environmental factors to the enterprise The development of an EFE matrix consists of 5 steps:
- Step 1: Making the list of factors with determinants for success as identified in the process of evaluating the macro environment This list includes from
10 to 20 factors, including the opportunities and threats affecting the company and business
- Step 2: Classifying the importance from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (very important) for each factor The classification shows the relative importance of those factors for success in the business of the company Appropriate level
of classification can be determined by comparing between the successful
companies with the unsuccessful ones in the field or discussing and reach the agreement of strategies building team Total classification levels must be 1.0
Thus, the classification based on the field
- Step 3: Classifying from 1 to 4 for each critical factor of success to show how the current strategy of the company response to these factors Where: 4
is a good response, 3 is above average, 2 is medium and 1 is weak These
levels are based on strategies effective of the company
- Step 4: Multiplying the importance of each variable with its classification level (equal to step 2 multiplied with step 3) to determine the score of importance
- Step 5: Totalizing the scores of the importance of each variable to determine the total score of importance
ee 16
Trang 25GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
Wheather how many factors in the matrix there are, total highest importance scores that the company can get is 4,0, lowest is 1,0, average is 2,5 Score of 4.0 Total importance score is 4,0 that indicates the company strategy of well taking outsode oportunities and minimize negative the external nagative impacts on the company
1.2.3.3 SWOT Matrix
SWOT is an abbreviation of four words: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
SWOT matrix is a matrix allows us to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the
company and estimate the opportunities, risks of external business environment and thence coordinate the company ability with the environment
SWOT matrix can help us develop four types of strategies:
The strategies of strengths - opportunities (S-O): Use the internal strengths to take advantage of the external opportunities
- The strategies of weaknesses - opportunities (W-O): Improve internal weaknesses to take external opportunities
- The strategies of strengths - threats (S-T): Use strengths to avoid or reduce
the external threats
The strategies of weaknesses - threats (W-T): Improve the internal weaknesses to avoid or reduce the impact of external threats
The following is a SWOT matrix model: Opportunities (O) Threats (T) S+O + Strengths (S) sự
Use the strengths to take the | Use the strengths to limit or opportunities avoid the threats
W+O W + T
Explore the opportunities to | Overcome the weaknesses ro Weaknesses (W) fill the weaknesses limit the threats
Overcome the weaknesses to
take the opportunities

1.2.3.4 Competition profile matrix
Competition profile matrix identifies the major competitors with their advantages and disadvantages This matrix includes both internal and external factors with the determinant importance to the success of the enterprise In addition, in the competition image matrix, the competitors are also considered and score the importance Total evaluated score of the competitive company is compared to the researching company The comparison gives us more important strategy information Building the image matrix is the same as building external elements 1.2.3.3 Quantitative strategic planning matrix
QSPM Matrix aims to evaluate and rank the strategy plans, thenceforward we have
basis of selection of the best strategies This matrix uses the information invested in
all introduced matrices (IFE, EFE, competition image, SWOT, major strategy, etc) To develop a QSPM matrix we should:
- Step 1: Listing the external important opportunities / threats and the internal strengths / weaknesses of the company Matrix should include at least 10 external important success factors and at least 10 internal important success factors
- Step 2: Classifying each of the internal and external success factor
- Step 3: Listing strategy plans which the company should consider to implement Collecting the strategies into specific groups if possible
- Step 4: Determining the attractive score (AS) of each strategy Only strategies within the same group will be compared with each other The
attractive score are classified as follows: 1 - not attractive, 2 — little attractive, 3 - attractive, 4 - very attractive If the successful elements do not
affect the strategies choice, the attractive score are not graded for the
strategies in this strategy group

Trang 29GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
In the field of construction and installation despite many difficulties in capital, a material cost increase and the principal payment in some works but slow units were active capacity building equipment, files high speed up the implementation of key works and works made by the unit owner
2.1.2.3 Manufacturing industries and construction materials
The value of industrial production and construction materials of the units under the
Ministry of Construction estimated to reach 3254 billion in August, May 8, 2009 to reach about 24,850 billion VND, equaling 61.7% over the year plan, by 108.6% over the same period in 2008
Cement production is estimated the whole industry in August reached 3.75 million
tons, May 8, 2009 to reach about 29.140 million tons, with 66.2% of the annual
plan
Conclusion
However, standing before the whole of the process of international economic integration, the construction industry is facing new challenges, first as capital Of
state-owned enterprises construction is very low Bad debts in the construction
lasted reduce the competitiveness of capital, technology and technology compared to foreign companies; The competition is overwhelmed by international contractors have the experience, level, superior technology; Thirdly real estate market time has expressed them, many investment projects have difficulty in compensation and clearance has been slow, affecting progress and effectiveness of projects, thereby making the production and business activities and accumulation of investment by enterprises degradation of other investment projects have affected the market prices of domestic and international sliding price increases were large bidding packages, increasing the total investment to adjust to the project and procedures for construction investment was long; A number of enterprises producing construction materials have increased more production costs due to input costs such as gas, petroleum import prices of clinker inflated their prices and the products, affecting
21
Trang 30GRIGGS GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
the competitiveness on the domestic market soon Moreover, quality, product design building materials is limited compared to imported products Some solutions to promote the development of Vietnam's construction sector will be policy makers, researchers and enterprises together made through discussion and analysis of issues such as Review integration process of the construction industry our country;
Construction Industry Vietnam with WTO accession; Functions and economic
management in the construction of the economic integration international e- commerce transactions - new direction Vietnam to build the integration process; opportunities and challenges for Vietnam's construction business while participating in the World Trade Organization; potential and orientation solutions for the development of industry building materials and sectors
2.1.3 Orientations to develop the construction
Right now, the construction businesses need to renovate management mechanism,
apply new management models to improve quality and efficiency of their production business; priority invest in human resource, equipment, advanced technology; seriously improve the quality of products Simultaneously, renovate the research works; organize the exploitation and expansion the market, etc
Government should facilitate for enterprises to access land and premises of
production simplify loans and mortgages procedures; support enterprises in research
and development stage to help them improve competitiveness; train and develop the
technical working team, research to innovate the content, etc Hence, Vietnam
construction can develop and integrate powerfully to the world economy 2.2 Status of Licogi 16 Joint Stock Company

2.2.6 Consolidate the brands into one brand "Licogi 16"
Not only brings the cost reducing ability - including the costs of research and development - but also the consolidation of brands in the Licogi JSC help the subsidiaries in transferring advantages to each other, for example, object, class or customers’ support In the long term, focusing on creatively combining the advantages of the parties through the consolidate strategy between the brands can generate extremely large value for the companies and consumers as well, ete Particularly, they become more useful when the environment is increasingly requiring its members and companies in cost saving
In terms of opportunities, a product of the subsidiary can be accepted by customers if the customers know that product from such a reputation company as Licogi 16 Hence, if the consolidation between the brands can create extremely large value for the subsidiaries and their consumers, the potential brought by this initiative in combining the strengths of each party is also not small In the current economic environment, with the requirements in cost saving, the consolidation become important tools that can help the companies create additional value to their own brand Not only brings the cost reducing ability - including the costs of research and
development — but also the consolidation of brands help both brands in transferring
Trang 40GRIGGS UNIVERSITY GeMBA.E03 - Group 5 Capstone Project Report
