In the field of motor-production in Asia, Japan is the pioneer in copying European designs. Although there are many businesses invested in this sector, but until now only four major labels such as Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki is also survived.
In the 80s, the technology system transfer to Taiwan before Mainland China receiving. China became the imitative workshop, most large-scale replication, and low quality products accounted for 50% of motorcycles in the world.
In this market, Vietnam certainly cannot compete with China because the production in Vietnam is not large, and the consumer demand is not high enough.
Nearly 80% of businesses closed. The Sole representative of China Lifan is also closed when engaged in manufacturing fitting armour motorcycles in Vietnam. If the organization produced by Japanese firms, the difficulties of funds as well as
technology. Requires their own style design, own engine design to avoid copyright infringement, useful technology solutions that they have registered. Vietnam is not in their strategy transfer of technology, and businesses do not have sufficient financial resources. The basic thing is the manufacturing and assembly businesses bordering Vietnam does not have a brand development strategy and comes with it is a strategic of information technology application.
1. Valuable experiences that Vietnam enterprises should learn
Vietnamese enterprises can develop the potential latent in every individual in the organization to create maximum job performance. Why in the same market, the same macroeconomic environment, and a technical environmental technology, there are some businesses exists, in contrast, another dissolution.

2. The application of IT in business
Usually, the focus on develop business, including the application and commercialization of technology products, services or the process of working, their management. Vietnam enterprises often fall into this category, for example in the manufacturing, construction and commercial services. We often see the information technology applications popular in the field of accounting, very simple and local.
Today, the application of IT for Vietnam enterprises is not only accounting, but also
more strategy-oriented applications. Increasing cooperation and further integration is vital for the application of information technology in Vietnam enterprises.
Oriental integration mainly includes:
The strategic orientation towards issues such as the form of cooperation, the vertical change in the whole structure, methods of marketing, distribution channels
The oriented organizations on issues such as organizational structure, method of administration, training, labour organizations

3. The difficulty in IT application for Vietnam enterprises
Particularly in small businesses, making the latest information technology model is not always smooth. These include a number of reasons for this.
First, Vietnam enterprises often does not have knowledge in the field of information technology, because they only pay attention to the operations, so spend a little time for strategic activities to improve and. This also prevents their own accumulated knowledge about the latest developments
Second, Vietnam enterprises often are not aware of the information sources they should consult. This causes them to lag in technology, not fully understanding the capabilities of IT and not aware of the advantages of a particular application.
Third, IT can lead to unpredictable advantage. Many small businesses thus cannot establish their exactly needs without the help of external experts. The IT solution providers tend to offer open system, more complicated than necessary and often do not know the exactly information about the time it takes to learn how to operate the systems.
Fourth, IT improvement usually starts with the process of technology production, this improvement requires change many functions, duties and responsibilities of the department compared with the other improvements. It impacts to not only inner the organization but also the job itself and staff’s duties. The businesses leave behind the technology mainly due to a lot of restrictions on the organization.
All we needed is to set up processes and standardized information that lacking in Vietnam enterprises, due to their working methods are not official. Moreover, the use of IT for the purpose of improvement also requires adequate visions.
