to, My family, for always being in my side ABSTRACT This study is desired to investigate about the effect of supplier‘s market orientation and environmental conditions on manufacturer’s trust and was taken the survey in Ho Chi Minh and some South province markets The main variables included supplier’s market orientation with three inside variables as customer orientation, competitor orientation, and inter-functional coordination; and environmental conditions contained two variables as market turbulence and competitive intensity From many previous researches about supplier’s market orientation and trust on manufacturer, some main variables have been extracted and selected to synchronize with Vietnamese conditions and after passing the pilot interview with the quantitative method, main variables have been selected for taking the survey for this study About 300 questionnaire forms have been sent out to 300 respondents who are managing their enterprises in Ho Chi Minh city and south provinces, included Long An, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, about 180 sets have been answered and returned in which 150 sets have satisfied the purpose of the research The findings from a sample of 150 sets have revealed that the supplier‘s market orientation and environmental conditions has a positive influence on manufacturer’s trust After analyzing by the Reliability between variables (Cronbach Alpha), Correlation (Exploring Factor Analysis) and test Multiple Regression Model, the research’s results indicated that the supplier’s customer orientation variable and environmental conditions affect significantly on manufacturer’s trust i CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research background 1.2 Problem statement 1.3 Research question and objective 1.3.1 Research question 1.3.2 Research

questions, and introduce the research methodology, the objectives as well as limitation of the study Furthermore, the significance of the research problem and thesis structure is also outlined 1.1 Research background Market Orientation is one of the most important concept in modern marketing (Pandelica et al., 2009) This concept has been researching and developing during past two decades (Brettel et al., 2008) Most of these researches and studies are concentrated on the components of market orientation and the relationship between market orientation and the firm’s business results Although these researches were studied from variety of fields and categories, many developed and developing countries, many results founds that market orientation had such positive effects with business results (Pandelica et al., 2009) In Vietnam, the research also record that market orientation can explain up to 30% the firm business results (Hung and Hau, 2007) Vietnam economic policies nowadays have been re structuring and developing as market orientation This step brings for Vietnam to become such very brilliant business environment, attracts the foreign investments to innovate the technique in many fields so far to impulse the development of economy, especially for the transitional economy in Vietnam now However, from the past two decades, the market orientation concepts has not been populated correspondingly in Vietnam ( Hac and Nghi, 2006) This is considered such as big challenge for Vietnam’s enterprises both are private or government companies, especially when Vietnam is joining WTO In the literature, market orientation is born from the western – where these concepts nowadays are continuing and leading in the world Kohli and Jaworski (1990) conceptualized Market orientation as the implementation of the marketing concept and developed a measure (Kohli et al., 1993) that focused on the firm’s activities and behaviors regarding customer needs, competitive information, market intelligence, and the sharing information among organizational functions Narver and Slater (1990: 21) offer a similar view, suggest that market orientation 49 Research, February
