Rationale of the topic Vietnam has fully opened its retail market since January 11, 2015, making the retail market more exciting than ever Foreign retail businesses with advantages in capital, technology, and modern management methods create great challenges for Vietnamese retail businesses In addition, the retail market also tends to develop modern retail channels, online retail, integrated multi-channel retail, convenience stores creating a new face of the market retail and increased pressure on traditional retail channels Many foreign retailers, especially in the modern retail sector, such as Aeon (Japan), Lotte (Korea), Central Group (Thailand) have been expanding their activities in Vietnam market through M&A If there are no significant changes in improving the efficiency of resource management, many Vietnamese retail businesses will soon fail in the domestic market To overcome these challenges, retail businesses need to increase the application of modern management tools to improve the efficiency of resource management, provide timely reports to help leaders make timely decisions In particular, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the information and management technology solution for businesses in optimizing the efficiency of use, exploiting the resources of enterprise In the world, especially in developed countries like the United States, Britain, Germany and Japan the application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) at retail businesses has become popular The world's leading businesses in the retail sector such as Walmart, Amazon, Costco have all deployed ERP and considered it an information system that plays a decisive role in the success of the operation and management of retail operations In Vietnam, enterprise resource planning ERP has been mentioned since 2000, however, the implementation of ERP applications in Vietnamese enterprises, especially retail businesses is still very limited Specifically, about 11% of Vietnam's retail businesses have applied ERP Only large-scale enterprises, large capital, and large quantities of goods can implement ERP systems such as SaigonCoop, Nguyen Kim, Tran Anh, Mobile World Moreover, foreign-invested retail businesses have the advantage of deploying ERP applications from their parent companies overseas, which also puts pressure on Vietnam's retail businesses In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the domestic retail market, Vietnam's retail businesses need to make rapid changes to survive on the domestic market in the context of competition and tissue innovation growth picture Therefore, studying the experience of ERP application of retailers in the world from which to draw lessons and proposing appropriate solutions for Vietnamese retailers is necessary and have practical value Therefore, "Applications of enterprise resource planning (ERP) of retail enterprises in the world: lessons learned and solutions for Vietnamese enterprises in the context of competition and innovation growth model" is proposed as the title of my PhD thesis Literature review of the topic 2.1 Oversea researches In the world there have been many studies on issues related to enterprise resource planning (ERP), an overview of research on ERP, ERP project implementation process in enterprises, roles and impacts of ERP to business operations, critical success factors (CSFs) of ERP projects, ERP development trends Typical of which: General research on ERP: Esteves and Pastor (2001), Al-Mashari (2002), Moon (2007), Schlichter (2010) are typical studies that provide statistical reports on studies and articles posted in specialized ERP magazines Studies on the impact of ERP implementation on business operations, on market response to enterprises: Research by Hayes et al (2001) on market response when companies announce ERP implementation Studies on the application of ERP and ERP project implementation process: a study by Marnewick et al (2005) provides a model to explain the complexity of ERP systems for houses manage in a nontechnical and understandable way This study shows that ERP systems are not only software but also business processes and management in the enterprise 2.2 Researches in Vietnam In Vietnam, ERP studies have been mentioned by some authors in recent years, typically as follows: An overview of enterprise resource planning: books on information systems and e-commerce in Vietnam have addressed the issues of enterprise resource planning (ERP), typically Church Process Management Information System (Tran Thi Song Minh, 2012), E-Commerce Curriculum (Tran Van Hoe, 2010) is a valuable reference material for the thesis 2.3 Research gap From an overview of the research situation, it can be seen that most of the research on ERP applications in enterprises comes from foreign scientists and practical issues in countries such as the United States and China These studies mainly analyze enterprises in the manufacturing industry, small and medium enterprises, have very little research on retail businesses There has not been much research conducted in Vietnam on ERP applications, and there have been no studies analyzing businesses in the retail industry Therefore, the gap for ERP application research in retail businesses in Vietnam is huge Research objectives and Research questions: The purpose of the thesis is to propose solutions and recommendations to enhance ERP application in Vietnamese enterprises In order to achieve the research purpose set out, the thesis must solve the following specific research tasks: - Clarify theoretical issues of enterprise resource planning (ERP), application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) in retail businesses and the need for enterprise resource planning applications (ERP) in retail businesses in the context of competition and innovation growth model - Study the experience of applying enterprise resource planning (ERP) in retail businesses in the world, with typical successes and failures in a number of retail businesses in the United States, China, and Thailand , and Canada - Evaluate the situation of application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) of Vietnamese retail businesses in the context of competition and innovation of growth model - Proposing solutions for retail businesses and proposing to state management agencies to enhance ERP application in retail businesses in Vietnam in the context of competition and innovation of growth model In order to carry out the research tasks of the thesis, the PhD student answers the research questions of the thesis including: - What are the benefits of ERP systems for retail businesses? - How retail businesses in the world deploy ERP? - What are the lessons that Vietnamese businesses can learn? - How has Vietnamese retailer applied ERP? - What Vietnamese businesses need to to enhance ERP application? - What measures should the State authorities take to promote ERP application in retail businesses? From the research questions, after conducting an overview study, the PhD student presents the hypotheses and research models, the specific content is presented in chapter in the thesis Subjects and scope of research: 4.1 Research subjects The research object of the thesis is the experience of applying enterprise resource planning (ERP) of retail businesses in the world, lessons and solutions for Vietnamese retail businesses in the context of competition and Innovation growth model 4.2 Research scope Regarding the content: In the framework of the doctoral thesis, the scope of research is limited to retail businesses doing business in series Specifically, the dissertation analyzes the experience of application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) in a number of retail businesses doing business in typical chains in the world including: Walmart, Amazon, Nordstrom, Wumart, MC Group, and Target In the analysis of the status of application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) in Vietnamese retail enterprises, the thesis also limits the study of enterprise resource planning (ERP) from 2000 to 2018, vision to 2030 Research method 5.1 Qualitative and quantitative research methods Qualitative research method: The thesis uses methods in qualitative research including: observing, analyzing content based on secondary data and in-depth interviews to consult experts on research issues save (Berg, 2001; Salkind, 2009) Quantitative research method: The thesis uses enterprise survey method to test the model of factors affecting the application of ERP in retail businesses in Vietnam The method used by PhD students in quantitative research is to test the scale by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, EFA factor analysis and regression correlation analysis to determine model building and model verification ERP applications in retail businesses 5.2 Methods of collecting and processing data The data used in the thesis include primary and secondary data
