Apart from introduction, conclusion and annex; this capstone project 1s divided into three chapters as following:
Chapter 1: Overview about building business strategy and retail banking service business in commercial banks
Chapter 2: Analyzing business environment of retail banking service area in SeABank
Trang 13CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW ABOUT STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND RETAIL BUSINESS IN COMMERCIAL BANK
1.1 Theories about building and managing strategy
1.1.1 Concept about strategy and strategic management
"Strategy" is a concept having been presented and widely used in many areas for a long time ỘStrategyỢ was first used in military filed, then moved to politics Since 50-60s of the 20 century, the concept of strategy was used in socio-economy area "Strategy" is usually understood as the way and methods solving given tasks in comprehension, overall and long term United Industry Development Organization (UNIDO) said that: "Normally, a development strategy may be described as a draft for development process in order to gained defined goals for a term from 10 Ở 20 years; it drives strategy planners in mobilizing and distributing resources In general, we can say that strategy provides a vision of an expected development process and consistency in methods of implementation Furthermore, strategy may be foundation for comprehensive development plan in short term, midterm or a general recognition without binding of insiders in that term about outlook, challenges and satisfaction"
There are many definitions about strategy Fred R David, in his view, (2003) strategy consists of means reaching long term goals According to Michael E Porter (1996), strategy is creation of valuable and unique position including different
operations
Generally, concepts and definitions about strategy, despite being different in expression, always cover following contents:
+ To define short term and long term goals of enterprise + To propose and select predetermined plans
Trang 14is defined as a collection of decisions and actions implemented via results of planning, enforcing and evaluating strategies It is designed to gain long term."
1.1.2 The role of building strategy for enterprise 1.2.1.1 Gains
Many researches show that: if enterprises have obvious business strategy, they will have more feasible action program rather than the ones not having strategy or obvious one Business strategy is guideline for action of enterprise As a result, enterprise will gained predetermined goals Furthermore, business strategy is bridge to make short term goals deviated from long term ones The development of enterprise is compatible and comprehensive Thus, gains of strategy and strategic management have been surveyed in many nations, industries and the new companies with different size In summary, we have following three features:
- Business strategy and strategic management help enterprise have specific action program to gained predetermined goals
- Business strategy helps enterprise define central goals
- Business strategy helps enterprise have specific and in time measures meeting changes in business environment
Nevertheless, in order to achieve above gains, it is a must for enterprise to have thorough analysis about their position, role, internal features as well as opportunities and threats coming from business environment
1.2.1.2 Risks
In addition to remarkable gains brought by business strategy, business strategy and strategic management also hide certain risks

1.2.1.2 Risks
In addition to remarkable gains brought by business strategy, business strategy and strategic management also hide certain risks
Trang 16The economic knowledge will help managers determine the effects of an enterprise to the country's economy, the impact of the economic policy of government to business activities of enterprises Additionally, stability of economy first and mainly as stabilize the national finance, monetary and control inflation These are the issues attract concern of enterprise and directly related to their business and production efficiency
Political: The nature of the bank is a financial intermediary and its activities have an important influence to the national financial system Thus, the bank is subject to strict control of the state than other sectors The political factors have more and more affect to operations of banks, including the point system, the policy of government, legal system, diplomatic trends of government and the political happenings in the country, regional and worldwide
Social: Socio Ở cultural environment includes norms and values accepted and respected by a society or a particular culture The changes of socio-cultural factors are part as consequence of long-term impact from other macroeconomic factors, so it fluctuates more slowly than other factors Some features that administrators need to pay attention are: the impact of socio-cultural factors society have long-term and more subtle than other factors, sometimes it is difficult to identify On the other hand, the scope of the impact of socio-cultural factors is large society: "it determines how people live, work, produce and consumer products and services." Additionally, aspects forming socio-cultural environment have strong influence to the business activities such as notions of ethics, aesthetics, lifestyle, occupation; customs, practices and communication system; priority attention of society; the level of awareness, general education of society
Trang 17date and creates pressure for banks to innovate technology promoting competitiveness Furthermore, the introduction of new technology increases the pressure threatening the existing banks in the industry The explosion of new technology, making the technology life cycle tend to shorten, thus increases pressure to shorten the depreciation period than before Political - Stability of politics - Labor law - Tax law Economic Social - Changes of GDP - Population, - Interest rate, inflation demography
rate - Income distribution Technological Development of new technologies |

1.2.1.2 Micro environment
Micro environment is defined with each specific sector Enterprises within industry are under influences of micro environment including: (1) Rivals; (2) Buyers; (3) Suppliers ;( 4) New entrants; (5) Substitute products In regard to banking sector, above factors are shown as following:
Rivals: In the current integration trend, competition among banks as well as financial institutions such as insurance, finance company is increasingly fierce The understanding of the competitors has a significant importance for banks for many reasons The first, rivals decide the nature and extent of competition or tips in gaining advantages
Trang 18fixed cost structure and diversification level of product The existence of these factors tends to increase the demand or desire of banks to achieve and protect their market share So, they make the competition fiercer and fiercer
Buyers: buyer is inseparable part in competitive environment The trust from buyers may be the most valuable asset of bank That trust is resulted from satisfying demands and tastes of customers in comparison with rivals
Suppliers: Banks must have relationship with organizations supplying different resources such as materia], equipment, labor and finance
New entrants: the new entrants in industry may be factor declining profit of bank since they make use of the new production capacity with expectation to gain market share and essential resources It is noticeable that re-purchasing other with intention to build market share is symbol of new entrant
Substitute products: Pressure from substitute products controls earning potential of industry since the highest price is under control Most of the new substitute products are resulted from technological break out In order to have success, banks must pay attention and spend suitable resources to develop or apply new technologies into their strategy New entrants Bargaining power of Rivalry among Bargaining power of buyers suppliers competing firms Substitute products

Trang 191.2.2 Internal environment
Analyzing internal environment is the analysis of factors and system inside the bank that can control, mobilize and determine whether banks can do, and the feasibility of their strategies The internal factors of bank include human resources, facilities and technology, organizational structure, policies, services, finance, In order to ensure feasibility of strategy, when building strategy, we have to assess the situation, identify the strengths and weaknesses then the ability to distinguish or competitive advantages of bank Internal analysis of the bankỖs activities is carried out on following aspects:
Human resource: This factor is extremely important and indispensable in any organization Competitiveness of human resources is reflected in such factors as: the level of training and qualifications of professional expertise, motivation and connection to enterprise, public awareness and working style Additionally, human resources play the key role in all stages of the process from building, implementing and monitoring strategy
Finance:
Financial status, financial indicators reflect the effectiveness and capability of organization Financial condition of bank reflects not only the capacity of banking activities in the past but also the ability of banks to develop in the future The financial indicators are often interested in performing the financial analysis in the strategy include the current ratio (total fixed assets / liabilities), quick liquidity (Current assets-inventory) / Current Liabilities), indicators of leverage (debt), operational indicator (the total turnover of total capital and floating capital) and indicator reflecting profit capacity
Infrastructure and technology:
Trang 20Technology is the most important factor among needed infrastructure in bank The automated machinery and equipment shorten operation time; improve accuracy, convenience of banking services Furthermore, technology provides foundation for banks to deploy modern services Technology in ban includes management information system and risk reporting system within bank
Culture and reputation of the bank:
Organizational culture plays an increasingly important role in the formation of each organization Each bank should make its rnembers understand the goals and action viewpoint That will boost the bankỖs members strive to achieve common objectives set out
The reputation of bank also has significant contribution to the successful implementation of objectives of the bank Reputation is an invisible value that bank has been forming during the process of long term development A bank having more reputation in market will be more accessible to new markets and introduction of new products is accepted more easily Nevertheless, it is difficult to create as well as keep and foster that reputation
Internal management: The organizational structure is an important indicator to reflect the allocation of bankỖs resources appropriate to the scale and level of bank management, specific features of industry and market requirements or not The
organization structure of banks is reflected in the division of departments,
operational units, subsidiary units and relationship among departments
After analyzing the internal capacity of the bank, strategic planners make meaningful comparisons That is comparison reflecting the development of bank and its strengths in the relation with rivals within industry
Comparisons done under the three basic ways:
Trang 21- IndustryỖs standard based comparison: that is comparison about banking activities against standards of industry and the main rivals It shows the position of bank in industry
- Recognizing the core successful factor of industry: that is some factors with significant influences to success of bank in industry
1.3 Tools used to analyze and select strategy
The anaiysis and selection of strategy is making subjective decision based on subjective information to define possibly selected operation process Thanks for those; the bank may fulfill functions and goals with the most effect The current strategies, objectives and mission of bank, plus internal and external information control will make foundation for forming and assessing strategy with feasible
selection
At present, there are many popular matrixes in analyzing strategy such as
BOSTON matrix, G.E matrix, Internal and External evaluation factor matrix (I.E),
GS matrix and SWOT matrix Nevertheless, in this capstone project, we would like to focus on analyzing based Internal and External evaluation factor matrix (I.E) and SWOT matrix
1.3.1 Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix (IFE)
Internal evaluation factor matrix (IFE) summarizes important strengths and
weaknesses of business departments as well as overall enterprise IFE matrix is
developed in five steps:
Step 1: Make a list of factors crucial to the competitiveness of enterprises in an industry (usually from 10 to 20 factors)
Trang 22Step 3: Assign a rating from | to 4 for each factor (actually point to a wider range) Mark the biggest weakness when sorting by one, the smallest weakness when sorting by 2, the minimum strength as classified by 3 and biggest strengths when sorting by 4 So, this is the point of reflecting competitiveness of each factor in enterprise against rivalsỖ
Step 4: Calculate weighted score for each factor by multiplying the weight of that factor with the corresponding rating
Step 5: The toiai weighted score for all factors in the matrix is given by summing the number of relevant factors of each enterprise The total score shows that, this is the absolute competitiveness of enterprises
Accordingly, if the total weighted scores of all factors to be included in the
IFE matrix are 4, the enterpriseỖs competitiveness is absolute If it is between 2.50
and above, it shall be absolutely competitive on average In contrast, the total number of points in the IFE matrix is smaller than 2.50, the absolute competitiveness of enterprises is lower than average
1.3.2 External Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE)
External Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE) helps us summarize and quantify influences of environment to enterprise Similar to the step of analyzing Internal factor evaluation matrix IFE, in order to analyze EFE we also follow five steps:
Step 1: Make a list of factors crucial to the competitiveness of enterprises in an industry (usually from 10 to 20 factors)
Step 2: Assign the a weight from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (most important) for each factor It should be noted, the importance assigned to the factors show relative importance of those for the success of the enterprises in industry Total importance of factors listed is 1
Step 3: Assign a rating from | to 4 for each factor (actually point to a wider range) Mark the biggest weakness when sorting by one, the smallest weakness when sorting by 2, the minimum strength as classified by 3 and biggest strengths
Trang 23when sorting by 4 So, this is the point of reflecting the adaption of enterprise to threats and opportunities from environment
Step 4: Calculate score for each factor by multiplying the importance of that factor with the corresponding classification scores
Step 5: The total weighted score for all factors in the matrix is given by summing the number of relevant factors of each enterprise
Accordingly, if the total weighted scores of all factors to be included in the IFE matrix are 4, the enterpriseỖs competitiveness is absolute If it is between 2.50
and above, it shall be absolutely competitive on average In contrast, the total number of points in the IFE matrix is smaller than 2.50, the absolute
competitiveness of enterprises is lower than average 1.3.3 IE Matrix

- Value and size of transaction
In retail transaction, although the number of customers participating in transaction is crowded, the value in each transaction is small since these services provide consumption and most people Thus, banks must pay attention to develop s:rvices based modern information technology basis All of these are aimed at
Trang 27meeting diversified demands of customers; improving utilities of product as well as helping the bank well manage operations in transaction
- Transaction charge
Since the main customers of retail banking are individuals, organizations, households and small and medium enterprises; the allocation of customer is not concentrated With respect to retail credit service, value of loan is small, spreading with simple method In regard to consuming loan, the size of this contract is small leading to high lending cost Additionally, cost for pricing and monitoring loan is high As a result, the interest rate of consuming loan is higher than the one in commerce and industry area Besides, in order to provide products and services to customers the most quickly, banks must invest a large amount of initial capital to found transaction points and modern information technology system
- Operations of commercial banks develop based high technology and the role of marketing becomes more and more important

se-vices to more than one hundred thousand individual customers and made more thin two hundred thousand commercial transactions for customers as small and
Trang 32and economic integration, retail banking products and services of SeABank will continue to be developed and upgraded matching to overall strategy of the bank
There are some reasons for SeABank to choose both individual and enterprises customers for retail banking products:
The first reason come from the demand of retail banking products from individuals, together with the development of technology and modernization, more and more banking services were launched and showed its converniences to customers then the demand for these products also increased

Trang 332.2 Analyzing operational environment of SeABank 2.2.1 External environment analysis
2.2.1.1 Macro environment (PEST model)
Ợ Political
Political condition in general: Vietnam is one country having the most stable politics in the world The stability of politics creates development opportunities enterprises operating in the provinces of Vietnam Together with political stability is the speed of opening and integration to create conditions to attract investment capital, expand market share as well as acquire technology from abroad For SeABank, political stability creates favorable conditions for their operations Besides, speed of opening the economy also provides more opportunities for SeABank to access foreign market and attract investment capital
Legal documents for banking activities: The legal environment of banking activities has not really suited to actual conditions The legislations on banking
activities are primarily built on the basis of manual transactions with a variety of
paper and complex business procedure Meanwhile, retail banking service development requires application of new technologies and modern as well as quick business processes With the growth rate of services as present, many legal regulations have proved inadequate and not included all of professional, making it difficult for banks to want to deploy new services However, state banks and Ministry of Finance in Vietnam are trying their best to improve the legal system in the field of retail banking service business In the following years, SeABank will be approaching a more liberal legal framework for business
Ừ Economic:
It can be said that Vietnam is a potential market to develop retail banking services The economy of Vietnam has made great progress over the years, with growth rate of 7-8%, always at the height of Asia Consuming market size of Vietnam is becoming attractive to a population of over 88 million people, ranked
Trang 34who are easy to get familiar with the modern mode of payment Furthermore, the average income per capita estimated in purchasing power parity (2006) reported up to $ 3,000 According to the General Department of Statistics, income per capita per month in reality increased by 64% in comparison with 2009, taking with the target of an average monthly per person increased 62% On the other hand, educational level is constantly being improved with a literacy rate of population above 90% The application of Internet fixed phone, mobile phones have grown very rapidly and reached high level of the region
Ừ Social:
In Vietnam today, the trend of urbanization increases the population in major cities quickly at a rate of 1% / year By 2009, urban population accounted for more than 30%, the proportion of people at working age was quite large, accounting for more than 52% of the population We have over 70% of urban households in Vietnam earning an annual average of VND 57 million Besides, VietnamỖs
consumer market has been becoming more attractive, the TNS Viet cycleỖs data
showed the material development from 1999 to 2009 as follow: less than 15% of
urban households had income from 3 million or less, while over 45% of households
had income from 4.5 to 20 million / month Consumption trends of people have associated with our country's science and technology after the United States and Singapore on growth
Tend to use services are more and more, with more than 88 million people,
only 20% of them opened accounts at banks At the banks, the growth rate of services within three years was on average of 30% / year The forms of enterprises, products supporting for consumption of people increased, the financial companies, financial leasing, and banks coordinate with vendors to promote provision of service products to consumers
Ừ Technological:
Trang 3545 machines/100 people (6 / 2007) The number of Internet users continued to increase significantly The incomplete statistics proved that, in 2007 there was 18.5 million of Internet users, 2008 was 21 million and in 2010, this number was up to about 31.5 million ICT Index Report in 2007 listed 13.7% of households had computers and 6.5% of households had Internet connection The number of enterprises having e-commerce website was up to 4790 and as of late 2007, the average revenue of an ecommerce website was 500 million / month, on average each customer spent 320,000 / year for sale online Particularly in the field of online games, game dealing worth up to 70 billion / month According to data of Ministry
of Planning and Investment, the number of telephone subscribers at the end of
September 2011 was 81.4 million subscribers, of which 81% was mobile phone subscribers Survey of an organization showed that, at present, scale of retail banking market in Vietnam is small, only 20% of people opened a bank account but in the future, this number will continue at rapid growth In addition, the stability and development of macro-economic environment creates tremendous potential for the development of retail banking services in Vietnam Demand for banking services is growing, especially in urban areas Furthermore, the development of technology and telecommunications boom with fierce competition among suppliers also makes people easy to access to modern facilities like Internet, ATM Therefore, banks will have development in services Density for the banking system in Vietnam is still very low compared to other countries in the region Currently, the density of using banking system in Vietnam is over 10% on average and higher in urban areas While this density in Thailand or Malaysia is 70-80% This suggests that the market opportunity of retail banking in Vietnam is huge
Trang 362.2.1.2 Micro environment analysis (Michael PorterỖs five forces model)
Ừ Threat of new entrants
The increase of domestic banks: The establishment of commercial banks in Vietnam is not met many obstacles That is the reason why the number of commercial banks has increased rapidly in recent times Despite having been just founded for ten years in area of retail banking service, commercial banks providing retail banking services are up to more than hundred Nevertheless, to entry sector and become a reputable unit to customers, new banks will face many obstacles and they will not cause much difficulty for the expansion of market share of SeABank
Entry threat of foreign banks: The threat from the new bank will depend on the "high" of barriers to entry Under the WTO commitments, the banking sector is gradually opening up in the routine for seven years The banking sector has made fundamental changes when foreign financial institutions may hold shares in the banks of Vietnam and the emergence of 100% foreign capital banks Since 2006, Vietnam has gradually removed restrictions on share rates in the banking sector s of the foreign financial institution as committed in the Trade Agreement with the United States According to the commitments under the Asean Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS) of ASEAN Association, Vietnam had to completely remove the provisions on controlling the rate of contribution of capital, services value of the transaction from foreign banks since 2008
Trang 37However, that will not prevent enterprises having enough conditions from participating in banking sector once Government allowed re-establishment of bank Entrance barriers are also reflected through market segmentation and target market that existing banks are targeting, brand value as well as customer base, customerỖs loyalty that banks have built These are particularly important because they will determine the viability of a bank looking forward to entering Vietnam market
Look at Vietnam's banking sector in the context of Vietnam and the world: it is
covering by economic crisis The strict entrance barriers make the threat from new banks in the future quite low Once the world economy has recovery with open of banking sector under WTO commitment and other organizations, the existence of new banks is almost certain
> Threat of substitute products
For corporate customers, the risk from being replaced is not high since this customer kind needs clarity as well as vouchers, bills in the package of banking services If trouble occurs during use of products and services, customers often switch to another bank because of these reasons instead of looking for outside banking services
For consuming customers, on the other hand, the habit of using money makes Vietnamese consumers keep money at home or if they have an account, once they have money on account, they will withdraw all for use Government agencies and enterprises pay salary through bank accounts in order to promote the non-cash payment, contribute to financial transparency for every citizen But the locations to accept card payments are most of the restaurants, luxury shopping areas where people are not always to purchase
Trang 38In addition to the form of saving in bank, Vietnamese consumers have many other options such as holding foreign currencies, investing in securities, mode of insurance, investing in precious metals (gold diamonds, etc.) or investing in real estate Interest rate from bank does not always attract consumers At this time for instance, gold price is on hot, sudden increase or decrease during the day, while the U.S dollar in the free market also changes, the interest rates of most banks is only at 14% a year
Thus, with the subject as corporate customer, the risk of repiacing the retail banking products is not high; however, in regard to products for individual customers, SeABank faces up more threats from substitute products The substitutes for individual retail banking services will be on growth when financial market lacks of stability and psychology to use money of people is at high level
>Ừ Bargaining power of buyers
After over 17 years of operations, SeABank has attracted a large number of customers and constantly increased over the years The number of customers in ỔSeABank is shown by the following chart:
104.000
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Chart 2.3: Growth rate of customers in period of 2008-2010

Trang 39In the competitive environment of financial service market, despite the increasing number of customers, the power of customers also affects to the business strategy of SeABank Recent events concerning about the power of customers was probably the banks charge ATM use while consumers do not agree In this case, banks and customers also have their arguments but obviously it has remarkable influences to satisfaction and trust of customer Thus, it is not the reason we underestimate power of customers in banking sector in Vietnam
The most important thing is that: the survival of banks based on capital raised from customers If banks are no longer attracting capital flow from customers, they will of course be eliminated Meanwhile, as mentioned above, the replacing threats of banks in Vietnam in regard to consumer customer, the threat of replacing is quite high With low switching costs, customers do not almost lose anything if they want to transfer their capital from banks and invest in a different place Therefore, to succeed in the retail banking sector, SeABank should have specific strategies to improve the quality of products and services as well as distribution channels and access customers
>Ừ Bargaining power of suppliers
The concept of supplier in banking sector is quite diversified They may be shareholders provide capital to banksỖ operations, or companies responsible for maintaining the system or ATM machines, companies providing banking software, human resource provision system At present, SeABank is investing equipments and selecting suppliers depend on their conditions This contributes to reduction of supplierỖs power when they cannot provide a large market but must compete with other ones
Trang 40cficiency of SeABank in expanding network of clients The shareholders may aid for development of retail banking products including: Societe General Retail Bank (f France (20% stake), Mobifone (development cooperation in mobile banking), PV Gas (Development of retail banking services to the oil companies)
One of the sources having a large impact on the quality of retail banking (perations is labor force Along with the explosion of the commercial banking system, banks are looking for qualified labor force in area of retail banking The scarcity of senior labor in banking industry is becoming more serious when banks ae expanding its network to dominate market For human resource issues, SeABank focuses on attracting talent and train the best personnel from developing evailable human resources
