conclusion, the thesis includes chapters: Chapter I: Theoretical Background Chapter II: Analysis on the business strategy of Hai Phat Investment JSC Chapter III:Building business strategy for Hai Phat Investment JSC., period 2010 – 2020 CHAPTER I THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 1.1 Overview on Strategic management 1.1.1 Business Strategy 1.1.1.1 Definitions Due to different approaches to strategy, its definitions are various 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 that it calls for a certain position, which is to be achieved by way of a carefully crafted plan, with the eventual outcome and strategy reflected in a pattern evident in decisions and actions over time This pattern in decisions and actions defines what Mintzberg called "realized" or emergent strategy Mintzberg’s typology has support in the earlier writings of others concerned with strategy in the business world, most notably, Kenneth Andrews, a Harvard Business School professor and for many years editor of the Harvard Business Review Strategy can be defined in many ways, including the following useful examples: According to the text book published by the National Economics University (2000), it’s summarized that: strategic management focus on the premium combination among management fields, marketing, finance/accounting, production/operation, R&D of information systems to achieve the business success Historically, the fundamental meaning of strategic management is enabling organization to formulate better strategies by more professional and reasonable application and better approached concerning strategic selection In other words, Strategy is the pattern of activities to be followed by an organization in pursuit of its long-term purpose’, includes its ‘placing’ within the movement In simple terms: ‘Where we are now, where we want to go and how we intend to get there’.’ Strategy is an agreed-upon course of action and direction that helps manage the relationship between an organization and its environment The goal is to achieve alignment or synergy so that an optimal flow of resources to the institution is achieved Strategy can also be defined as the process of identifying, protecting, leveraging and renewing the strategic capabilities of an organization through its definition of purpose its organization and processes, and its choice and support of people So, what most concerned strategy can be: - An understanding/assessment of the organization’s resources and capabilities - An understanding/assessment of the external environment - From these, a decision on the best way to use and apply the former to achieve an agreed aim in the latter 10 Domestic investors were and now are successful at selling many projects in recent quarters despite the market down turn happening in late 2008 and early 2009 Despite many foreign investors gave up big commercial and housing projects, development project of joint venture are still maintained in the crisis period, which is expected to dominate the majority of projects on sales in next quarters Groups with big projects are now pushing the work progress in a hope that they can catch up with the current positive market situation The accumulative market is now obviously coming back with many projects of domestic investors, which are sold with big number of several exchanges for the investors Capital venture is becoming popular with many projects sold out via this mode The signs are recognized similar with 2007 although many investors tend to use the flat which is initially planned for accumulation The last key question is that when tens thousands of flats are transferred, who will be living there This question can not be addressed in the booming period of 2006-2007 This period might be different, but CBRE still forecast that at least some parts of the low quality projects will have difficulty in finding the customers Ha Noi is always a small and highly competitive market with many options, which will unhide the differentiations between good and bad project Late 2009 and early 2010, it might be the time when the market self adjust Many investors believe that the land price will increase sharply at the end of the year at hot areas such as Ha Dong and western region This strong expectation can overcome the interest fluctuation at the end of the year, income tax law for income from real estate sales, or the shortage of information and transparency The first strong growth will be met due to the big supply and messy market, but then the supply volume will dilute the investment market in general and stabilize the average value The price of separate project will change when there’s more transparent information on: which infrastructure will be completed, where the people community will develop, and the most important is that which investor can guarantee the proposed quality of the project 68 The actual demand will be tested in late 2010-2011 Around 9000 flats will be on sales in 2009 and 14000 flat will follow in 2010 When these flats are transferred, the market will receive a huge housing supply Despite the recent recovery of the market in 2009, it’s hard to estimate how many of those flats are really used Table 3.2:

Construction ongoing Figure 3.1: Operation of primary market (All types in 2nd quarter of 2009) On the urban scope of Hanoi interior, according to the survey by Savills, from 3rd quarter of 2009 to 2012, there will be at least 10.455 flats distributed in the Hanoi market (old) Despite the short term difficult situation of the domestic economy, but the Hanoi’s demand for real estate, mainly houses, are still existing The postponement 70 or cancellation of the projects can happen after that and the supply forecast should be reconsidered The majority of the future flat supply in Hanoi is expectedly medium class in the suburbs and new urban areas The primary and secondary price of good quality project in the city center might increase, mainly for the supply shortage in these areas In the high class segment, the supply is mainly medium term, and not plural, especially in project with good locations in old districts and provinces 3.1.2 Summary on SWOT analysis From above analysis,

environment analysis, competitive analysis and internal environment analysis as well as the strategy orientation, Hai Phat company selected priority “product/market” which is housing products for above average income customer (flats or villages) This is considered the most attractive market segment due to its potential market growth and limited supply 72 3.2 Building the business strategy of Hai Phat Investment JSC during 20102015 3.2.1 Strategy formulation Via SWOT matrix analysis, it formulates the strategy groups including: to exploit the strength, make use of the opportunities (S-O), overcome difficulties to make use of opportunity (W-O), promote the strength to limit the threats (S-T), overcome weaknesses to avoid the threats (W-T) Here below are generic strategies should be considered for the company: Strategy 1: Cost leadership strategy (Competition with price) Strategy 2: Differentiation strategy on product quality Strategy 3: Differentiation strategy on brand and reputation Strategy 4: Cost focus Strategy Strategy 5: Differentiation focus strategy In above strategies, strategy and are differentiation strategy and it can be combined because in reality, the brand can be ensure by the product quality In the mean time, strategy and strategy are focus strategies Because the company need to promote the strengths (financial resources) and overcome the weaknesses (marketing activities), we can combine them in to a general focus strategy So, the company only needs to focus on choosing optimum strategies among the proposed strategies: Strategy 1: Cost leadership strategy (price competition) Strategy 2: Differentiation strategy basing on the product quality and brand (non price competition) Strategy 3: Focus strategy 3.2.2 Selection of the business strategy With the GREAT model, we can select the optimum business strategy with the analysis and evaluation of weight on criteria at following steps: Step 1: Grading each option with 1-5 scale, with criteria: - G: The more gains, the higher grade (obtained the target) - R: The more risk, the lower grade - E: The more expenses, the lower grade - A: The more achievability, the higher grade - T: The more reasonable timing, the higher grade = Excellent; = Good; = Average; = weak; = poor 73 Step 2: Anticipate the impacts of those criteria on the general strategy; use the weight of impacts to show the importance and its degree of influence on strategic factors (weight in the range of 0-1, with the total of weights is 1) Criteria 1: Gain 0, 30 Criteria 2: Risk 0, 15 Criteria 3: Expense 0, 20 Criteria 4: Achievable 0, 25 Criteria 5: Time 0, 10 Calculate the grades into equivalence by multiply column with the responsive weight, then we come up with the total grade for each strategy in the final row Finally, we highlight 1-3 strategies with highest grades, which are strategies to be focused on Table 3.4: GREAT Quantitative Matrix Criteria Weight Strategy Strategy Strategy Rating 3 4 Score Rating Score Rating Score 1- Gain 0,30 0.90 1.50 0.60 2-Risk 0,15 0.45 0.30 0.45 3-Expenses 0,20 0.80 0.40 0.60 4-Achievability 0,25 0.75 1.00 1.00 5-Time 0,10 0.40 0.30 0.40 Total 1,00 3.30 3.50 3.05 With the above statistics, we can see that the focus strategy (strategy 3) have the lowest grade The differentiation strategy based on product quality and brand has the highest grade So, in
