Originating from indispensable demand in market opening and international integration, in order to comply with regulations WTO, TBT… government will extend conditions, allowing domestic and foreign players in telecom, information technology industry to invest and expand activities in Vietnam market In previous years, although Vietnam’s information and communication technology achieved high growth speed in comparison with many countries in the world, appearances of new domestic and foreign exploiters, however, have created strong competitive pressure which forces Vietnam Posts and Telecommunication Group to change strategies on business, finance, human resources, system organization, selling channel, trade name to go align with competitive conditions - Thanks to achievements in the DOI MOI period and market economy transition, the living standard of the Vietnamese people is now improved; foreign investors were and now are holding investment projects in Vietnam The group of customers whose demand for high quality product and service and desire of highly differentiated products and services for their personal stake, are now increasing, which requires VNPT to restructure the distribution channels, develop new services with the international modern technology These tasks are also top priorities of VNPT in their effort to satisfy customer Besides, thanks to the technological development, new telecom services providers take advantage of the new technology AII-IP, which enable a new mode of distribution channel, services and business in a central orientation with flexible and cost saving management style This issue have created a big competitive pressure, encouraging big traditional telecom service providers to switch to launching VAS on the traditional and basic product such as: Deustch Teleko (Germany), France Telecom (France), Bristish Telecom (UK), Telstra (Australia), China Telecom (China), Telecom Malaysia (Malaysia), Vodaphone… The service providing model is focusing on the telecom services, including: business management, service providing management, network infrastructure management, VAS development and management -

Liam Fahey van Rober M.Randall believed that strategy can be understood as the premium approach taken concerning processes, attitudes, human resources, tangible asset, technology and information power, competitiveness, capacity, and resources (Portable MBA in Strategy) - In a 1996 Harvard Business Review article and in an earlier book , Porter argues that competitive strategy is "about being different." He adds, "It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value." In short, Porter argues that strategy is about competitive position, about differentiating yourself in the eyes of the customer, about adding value through a mix of activities different from those used by competitors In his earlier book, Porter defines competitive strategy as "a combination of the ends (goals) for which the firm is striving and the means (policies) by which it is seeking to get there." Thus, Porter seems to embrace strategy as both plan and position While Henry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning, points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four: Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction Mintzberg argues that strategy emerges over time as intentions collide with and accommodate a changing reality Thus, one might start with a perspective and conclude 10 - VNPT provide not only comprehesive services including content services, even mobile content and also appeal corporate customers and organizations which are authorized to be content providers based on VNPT network providers - VNPT quickly integrated a modern telecom network for 3G applications So why 3G? - 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology 3G supersedes 2G technology and precedes 4G technology 2.5G was a temporary bridge between 2G and 3G 3G technologies enabled faster data-transmission speeds, greater network capacity and more advanced network services The first pre-commercial 3G network launched in May 2001 by NTT DoCoMo in Japan The network was branded as FOMA Following the first pre-commercial launch, NTT DoCoMo again made history with the first commercial launch of 3G in Japan on Oct 1, 2001.3G applications allow wireless tranmission of communication and non-communication database (email, image, sound, video, text, security ) International experience showed that, 3G is the major and unavoidable development tendency of mobile technology Almost all big mobile exploirer in the world are now focusing on this technology such as SK Telecom, NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, Comvik, Fran Telecom, Telstra, Vodaphone, AT&T and they all achieved certain success in 3G business The cellphone will even become a mobile office or convenient online payment tools for busy people In reality, services which are most used in developing countries are Mobile Internet, mobile Live TV, VOD/MOD - In Vietnam, the pioneer in 3G technolgoy is VNPT, who first launched this sevice on September 12, 2009 The service has actually been provided before in testing mode The 3G wave has been appealing the interest of mobile user The wave of 3G devices moved to Vietnam with wide range of products from Nokia, Samsung, Motorola Apple (especially Iphone Products) Although people start to get used to and officially use 3G utilities , which proved the huge interest of Vietnamese market for 3G services Forecasting the technology development trends, right from beginning, VNPT invested thousand billions dongs on Vinaphone and Mobiphone for research and development of 108 3G technology on the mobile network base of 2G In order to so, VNPT has upgraded technology from 3G to 2,5G and 3G Thanks to its comparative advantage from upgrading 2G to 3G, VNPT can save 60% of cost in comparison to building up a total new 3G network This can serve as a basis for VNPT to provide high quality 3G services at reasonable price (For example, based on the research of market demand, VNPT intends to provide some groups of 3G services, likely: contact group, entertainment group, e-payment group, social news group, personal information group) III SWOT matrix and strategic proposal to mobile services and cityphone of VNPT OPPORTUNITIES (O) O1 THREATS (T) Trend of T1 Being subject to personalization mobilization and fierce competition results in T2 Reduction of increasingly demand on the turnover on subscriber Mobile phone mobile service O2 Trend T3 of Possibility of 3G changing provider by technology subscribers are O3 Trend of converging relatively high opportunities to become a T4 Foreign enterprises new service type if participating O4 Trend of international mobile market integration help enterprises Vietnam, they make full use of foreign apply capital, technology making of shall modern and technologies management experience in use and of the customer care service advantages 109 T5 Demand on 3G should be thoroughly – studied of S/TStrategy Strength (S) S/O Strategy S1 Network coverage nationwide diversifying service items S2 Rate is relatively competitive to renovate to modern technology that of rivals S4 Much kind of services available for the various demands of customers WEAKNESS (W) W/O- Strategy to stabilize W/T- Strategy to amend W1 Being not allowed to decide organization model in the price under many forms rates direction W2 Expansion of capacity shall business operation convenient to affect service quality and servicing customers W3 Incomprehensive customer database; unprofessional customer care W4 Renovation orientation of the organization modal of subsidiaries providing mobile services shall impact service business activities W5 Mechanism joining two subsidiaries providing mobile services of the Group has not become effective before competitors Opportunities (O) 110 Threats (T) O1 Using demand sill T1 Being fiercely competed attracts medium income with GSM and CDMA mobile Cityphone customers services O2 Being one of targeted T2 Terminal devices have not domains of local satisfied demands of customers telecommunication group T3 It is possible to face in the future competition form regional O3 Being able to deploy CDMA services of enterprises some of service items not being under VNPT similar to GSM or CDMA mobile S/O- Strategy to deploy S/T- Strength (S) S1 Deployment in key value cities having great demands added Strategy to renovate services service provision network strategy similar to GSM S2 Being able to replace and CDMA mobile fixed services in the areas unable to use cable Weakness (W) W/O- Strategy of reducing W/T- Rate reduction strategy W1 The rate has not been a charge rate, competitive strength improving in service quality in order to compared to GSM’s mobile lure more customers services W2 Unstable service quality; restricted coverage W3 advertisement Unattractive and promotion 111 IV Classification of customers using MVAS services - In order to classify customers, we conducted the survey and selected samples of 313 customers in Hanoi who were individuals using mobile phones and interested in mobile services (MVAS) at all ages, industries and qualifications of education The survey purposes included: - Defining group of customers by the Take Five modal on the basis of life style and consumption tendency - Surveying the way customers shall change service or group of services having certain common features; surveying should forces P1, P2, M1, S1 customer groups; current tendency of using services partially disclose us of service using tendency in the future - Surveying difficulties customer may face while using services in order to make overcoming solution - Surveying customers’ desires for the improvement of the services, and their response to the proposed futures services In order to meet the targets set forth, the questionnaire used for individuals shall include following contents: - Studying habit using features of handy devices: conversation, sending message, background image, mobile internet and frequency of using such services - Studying level of meeting requirements of services currently being used by customers - Monthly expenditure for such services - Satisfaction level of customers on service quality, price at present - Customers’ desire to improve current services - Average duration for using a service - Customers’ attitude on advertisement and marketing on mobile phone 112 - Customers’ assessment and opinions when describing new MVAS services such as Push Mail, Mobile Newspaper, Mobile Blog, video download using new technologies such as localization, 2D Code - Welcoming level to new services Information regarding interviewees is as follows: Age: Between 16 - 55, using mobile handy devices, possibly being divided into 04 group of age: the teenage (16-18), the youth (18-30), the middle-age (30-45) and the elderly (45-55) The survey target is not only concentrating the teenage demand for existing main services but also learning from demand of the elder groups Therefore, the surveying sheets are equally divided into 04 groups of age: the teenage (16-18), the youth (18-30); the middle age (30-45) and the elderly (45-55) Type of subscriber: Prepaid makes up a major portion of the total subscribers, around 80% and equally distributed to 03 main mobile networks of Mobiphone, Vinaphone, Viettel A minor amount of subscribers (below 10%) belongs to remaining mobile networks Gender: Equal between male and female Education qualification: Subjects at the age of 16-18 are pupils, subjects from 18 and above have graduated high school; others consist of: students, bachelors, MBA, Ph.D Occupation: Subjects of the survey belong to a variety of industry therefore the survey result covered all demands People belong to business industries, pupil/student, staff of sole proprietorships and State owned enterprises; State’s servants and officials are core subjects Living standard: Monthly expenditure per person could be divided into 04 main levels: A (below VND 500.000), B (VND 500.000 – 1.000.000), C (VND 1.000.000 – 3.000.000) and D (over VND 3.000.000) Enquiries on life style and act of consumption: - Most of customers at the age 45-55 belong to traditional group (T) succeed at elderly age belong (A2) and having social activities at elderly age (S2) 113 - Most of customers at the age of 30-45 have university and post-university qualification under successful group (A1), and social activity group (S1) - Customers of endowment youth group (M2) take a major portion (64%) of the age 18-30 The group typically spends quite much on mobile phone The teenage group (P2) accounts for only 30% and have expenditure on mobile phone lower than M2 group - Customers of endowment teenage group (M1) make up a majority (80%) of the age 16-18; however, expenditure on mobile phone is not as high as that of M2 group due to dependence of the family’s economic condition (P1) group just makes up 20% As for every service, questions are prepared on the basis of actual frequency of use according to actual experience of domestic and foreign experts which can represent service usage level of most of customers For instance: Question on number of sent SMS messages for every subscriber is reasonably estimated on the daily basis The number also varies between 0-3 SMS/day On the contrary, number of MMS per subscriber should be estimated on the monthly basis and the number also varies between 0-2 MMS/month The survey results showed a customer on average makes SMS/day and MMS/month The following table shows the survey results, in which “C” = P1+P2+S1+M1, is portion total of the concerning group according to “Take Five” modal with % unit SMS MMS RT RBT Logo/background /game News, consultation, P1 P2 S1 14 2 3 7 4 M1 S2 M2 A1 A2 18 12 3 0 0 0 15 vote, auction SMS (P2P) 114 11 T Total 74 27 31 23 56 C 44 22 20 19 34 About 74% of participants said they made messages per day on average, of which the 04 most important groups of P1, P2, S1, and M1 make up 44% As the results, subscribers at the age 18-30 have medium expenditure level, and subscribers with qualification of university and above are main customers of SMS service The main reason for SMS of the youth is the price which is lower than conversation rates and ability to save message in a long time However, another reason is the shape of message culture at the teenage with specific language showing personality seems to be suitable to communicate with each other without being understood by the adults The fact is clearly illustrated via a large number of customers belonging to M2 group (75%) use SMS while the group can afford a high level of expenditure Through pressing characters are inconvenient, all customer groups use SMS including T (1%) The reason goes to SMS technology which is openly applicable for all mobile handy subscribers including the simplest mobile phones The successful, high social standing elderly said they did not care for rate but it was really convenient to send SMS to many people simultaneously and the message can be saved at the target phone as it is not always to meet a person when calling him Recently, mobile phones with QWERTY key board shall significantly support this group of customers in using SMS Customers often use Internet like office staff, the teenage and the youth using services at public Internet bars tend to use free message enclosing advertisements from websites of the designers However, the number of free message of a day is limited, so the user shall use this with the notification purpose rather than chatting The portion of the SMS market remains 26% unexploited belonging the above said customers As for this group, convenient press of characters (like QWERTY key board) is the key factor and other conveniences such as broadcasting message sending and message saving are also important… In the two coming years, it is forecasted that SMS shall go on bringing about a great portion of turnover until it may be gradually replaced by other more advanced services on 3G infrastructure V Orientation to 2010 (M.VAS , new servise) (Applying the strategy of trading enhanced services in current market) 115 Strategic measure: The strategy of diversifying services types according to the development of technology V.1 The target of developing subscriber, output and turnover -
