organization and its business strategies. After that developing the students’ awareness of

or operational role for the organisation. The knowledge and understanding will be underpinned

strategic direction and choice.
Vingroup is one of the big companies in Vietnam, and it will be chosen for better simulation as

2 The impact and influence which the macro environment has on an organization and its
business strategies
2.1 Applying appropriate frameworks analyses the impact and influence of the macro-
environment on a given organization and its strategies.
Why they important to the longevity of any business entering the business market are.
According to Beth (Beth, 2009), the main elements of the strategic planning for a company are
vision, mission, and core values. This must be accepted and communicated to staff, volunteers,
and shareholders, and other stakeholders by the board of directors.
The vision outlines what the company needs and will inspire its leaders, employees, and
supporters. Vision statements may define: How different will things be because of the practices
of the company, and what different things will be because of the actions of the company (Beth,
2009).
The mission generally explains what the organisation's purpose is about. Since the vision
sometimes is presented as an ideal or a dream, the mission helps to consider the realistic
1
aspects. Some tasks emphasize intervention with the following words: Involve, help, assist,
contribute, encourage (Beth, 2009).
Core value affects all the practices and relationships of a company and its credibility with
stakeholders. Value can express themselves as values, instructions, or laws and can be set out in
code (Beth, 2009).

• Core value ‘’Credibility – Integrity – Creativity – Speed – Quality – Humanity’’
Vingroup chose six words to describe the core values of the corporation Credibility –
Integrity – Creativity – Speed – Quality – Humanity by Vingroup (Vingroup, 2019).
Credibility
Vingroup puts the word of trust in the forefront, as a weapon of rivalry, takes the word
of trust as its own honor, and preserves it.
Vingroup is always committed to fully develop its implementation capacity and to ensure
that its commitments to its customers and partners are true and higher; especially
product quality commitments – service and implementation schedule.
Integrity
Integrity is one of Vingroup's core corporate pillars. They honor the law and uphold the
highest level of professional integrity and social ethics.
3
Customers are always valued, Vingroup is customer-cantered and puts the customer's
interests and wishes first; strives to bring customers the finest products the most
complete services.
Vingroup cares sincerely for its customers; knows the service mission and only carries
out the task if necessary.
Creativity
To establish distinct ideals and distinctive personalities in every product and service
bundle, Vingroup considers creativity as vitality and a lever of evolution.
Vingroup upholds the spirit of daring to dream and to dare; promotes discovery and
development for management and creation of new science, technical and industrial
advances; also, continually enhances and improves product – service efficiency.
Vingroup maintains the "learning business" approach, not afraid of difficulties training,
learning, and "overcoming itself."
Speed
Vingroup takes "Fast decision – Fast investment, Quick delivery, Quick sales, rapid
change, and adapting" as an identity attribute. Vingroup's guiding principle is "Speed,
productivity in all actions."
Vingroup supports visionary ambition and defines Gloria belongs in time to the
individual. Speed is very critical for Vingroup, but always remembers "Not too fast to be
scrupulous."
Quality
The goal of Vingroup is to gather elite people to create Elite goods-services; to help all
members develop an elite society and to enjoy elite life.
Within its field of work, each member is an excellent factor to build up a sophisticated
workforce, like Germany and Tai.
Vingroup: The body should be clean, toned with no extra fat like a healthy person. We
"treat the wise guy" and "treat the sand with gold," we are trying to find the right person
and put the right people in the right jobs, but also are prepared to eliminate the wrong
person.
Humanity
4
Vingroup creates partnerships of goodwill, love, humanity, clients, friends, employees,
investors, and community.
Vingroup also considers workers to be the greatest asset, providing a competent,
diverse, innovative, and humane atmosphere, introducing influential welfare policies,
generating high earnings, and equitable opportunities for growth for all workers.
• Objective
Vingroup's 2020 goal:
- Profit: net revenue from production and business activities is 145,000 billion VND,
profit after tax is about 5,000 billion VND.
- Real estate: - Vinhomes will continue to sell new subdivisions of the three major
projects Vinhomes Ocean Park, Vinhomes Smart City, and Vinhomes Grand Park and
open sales of sub-strata at Vinhomes Wonder Park project in Dan Phuong, Hanoi.
Vinhomes will also start implementing a strategy to develop business segments to create
a steady cash flow for the company, including the development of office leasing systems
and industrial real estate.
- Industry, VinFast, and VinSmart focus on sales in the domestic market.
Compared to the actual profit after-tax payment in 2019, Vingroup reached VND 7,717
billion, but the profit target of 2020 is set to be less than the profit from 2019, probably
due to the impact of the global pandemic in the world, it strongly affects the domestic
and foreign economic situation, affecting the cash flow of many businesses as well as
business activities because of the delay. However, Vingroup is still trying to focus
development on industry groups, technology, and real estate identified in the set vision.
5
collaboration and even imitation may be included in the longer-term path (Whittington
et al., 2017).
Strategies provide the basis for strategies by a changeling and forecasting organizational
decisions. When management techniques are carefully formulated and properly interpreted,
they establish an organizational planning structure that is more reliable. When this coherence
occurs and continues, the organizational resources should be distributed in places where they
are best utilized. Strategies describe both the consumer and the served areas in the business
sector. The usage of resources would be easier when identifying these areas (Bhasin, 2018).
6
management will do so, which sets the organization's target in relation to individual resources.
Each of the organization's capital is then used for a duration (Bhasin, 2018).
Strategies contribute to the productivity of the company by rewarding the workers of the
company. Forms of strategical management in an organization that implements a structured
management process are achieved mostly by established role recommendations, minimizing
role conflicts and uncertainty. Everybody knows how to act as actions are systematized within
the organization, how to relate to the organizational goals, and the knowledge which might be
available. This transparency should offer productivity both internally and also organizationally.
Strategies provide the entire company with all these things that make it really simple (Bhasin,
2018).
For example, on December 18, Vingroup officially announced its withdrawal from the direct
retail segment to focus resources on industry and technology. In particular, the e-commerce site
Adayroi will merge with VinID, the whole system of VinPro electronics stores will be dissolved,
the deadline for completion is December 2016 (Nguoi lao dong, 2019). It can be seen that
Vingroup is very determined to focus on developing technology and industry, these are two
areas that Vingroup also raised in its annual report to the general meeting of shareholders and
set out the working direction for 2020. With a clear goal, Vingroup has begun to adjust human
resources to focus on the development of Vinfast and Vinsmart.
2.2 Implement the macro-environmental audit for the chosen organization by using
PEST/PESTLE framework.
7
review defines and analyzes the key factors of change in the external market climate and
discusses preparations for the introduction of a new product, project, or service. These can be
used in the strategic projects, project plans, campaign strategy, product creation, planning and
analysis reports.
This tool aims to evaluate the outside world from different points of view and provide a full
evaluation when taking into account some concept or strategy, to see if a project is better
placed than its rivals and to react more effectively to changes. Understanding these conditions
minimizes risks and maximizes opportunities. Environmental scanning can help businesses find
business gaps and prevent costly errors or threats, which include political, economic, social,
technological, environmental, legal factors.
In 2019, economic growth was good, labor productivity and quality of growth continued to
improve, macroeconomic stability was solid. GDP growth rate is estimated at 6.8%, achieving
high targets according to the National Assembly's resolution. The scale of GDP increased to
about 266.5 billion USD, an average of 2,778 USD / person (Thoi bao Tai chinh Viet Nam, 2019).
The State Bank of Vietnam has lowered the refinancing interest rate twice from 6% to 4.5% /
year in March and May, the rediscount interest rate from 4% to 3% / year in 2019. In the
context of falling oil prices. strong, weakening consumer demand along with efforts to cut 10%
of electricity prices, Vietnam's inflation is forecast to be below 4% (Tap chi tai chinh, 2020).
The global Covid-19 pandemic had a strong influence on the world economy in general and
Vietnam in particular, making public debt companies, delaying production, unable to deal with
partners to import. whether input, even bankruptcy. 90 million people in Vietnam have lost
their jobs and suspended their businesses. According to Dr. Can and the authors of the BIDV
Training and Research Institute, the disease was controlled in the second quarter but was
negatively affected by the total supply and demand from outside; Vietnam's GDP growth rate
will decrease by 2.58%, reaching 4.07-4.20% in 2020 (Can and BIDV, 2020).
8
➔ The slow economic growth, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, also
affected the operation and finance of Vingroup in 2020 because the business activities
nationwide have not operated stably.
Society
The population of Vietnam as of 2019 is more than 90 million. A middle class actually exists in
Vietnamese society, accounting for some 13 % of the population of Vietnam, and by 2026, this
class will increase to 26% (World Bank, 2019).
The proportion of people with high incomes of over 10 million a month, accounting for 1/5 of
the population, has a high growth rate of 1.2%/ year. Currently, Vietnamese people are also
interested in Vietnamese domestic products, and they are also interested in travel needs. These
things will help Vingroup to have more potential customers to expand the market. Currently,
Vietnam's education system is growing and providing a potentially abundant human resource, in
addition to a team of human resources from returning international students (World Bank,
2019).
Vietnam is highly appreciated for its level of political stability, creating a premise for economic
development. In addition, there are preferential policies on taxes and interest rates for
Vietnamese businesses, which operate effectively with respect to real estate investment.
Vingroup will be exempt from tax for 4 years and will receive a preferential tax rate of 10%
within 15 years for its subsidiary Vinfast.
Technological
This is a factor that helps Vingroup can affirm its position as well as diversify its products
because technology helps Vingroup improve quality, manage everything more easily; however,
all Vietnamese technologies must be imported from abroad that makes it difficult for Vingroup
to buy modern equipment to spend a large amount of money.
9
Environment
Vingroup operates in the field of real estate, the land element plays an important role in the
development of the company. Vietnam is a country with many beautiful and attractive
locations, which will help real estate companies choose fertile business locations. There are
many beautiful and potential locations such as Da Nang, Quang Nam, Binh Thuan, and Nha
Trang.
Threats: There are many domestic and foreign competitors such as FPT, FLC, Sun group, and
Kappell Land, Kumho, and Parkson. The business market is delayed due to the impact of the
COVID pandemic affecting Vingroup's business and production, which will not be profitable to
pay interest.
3 Evaluate and apply the outcomes of an analysis using Porter’s Five Forces model
Currently, Vingroup is leading in the field of high-end real estate business, which has made
Vingroup a high position, and a prestigious brand name for customers and rivals. Competitors in
10
Vingroup's high-end real estate segment such as Kappell Land, Kumho, and Parkson, FPT, FLC
are strong financial enterprises, so they compete very strongly with Vingroup, so Vingroup must
improve its service quality, and create a unique brand for the product on the market.
+ Raw material suppliers: Due to the situation of the Covid 19 epidemic causing great economic
losses, all of the current materials are low cost, if Vingroup signed the supply contracts on the
occasion of This will be a great advantage for Vingroup.
+ Financial suppliers: Vietnam's stock exchanges are currently very bleak due to the Covid 19
pandemic, so the ability of financial advances is sharply reduced.
Buyers
Vingroup's customers are high-income customers, so they will not pay much attention to
finance, what they care about is the quality of service, and they feel satisfied and satisfied with
the product. they bought. Therefore, this has put great pressure on Vingroup in the design,
placement, and quality of raw materials. Buyer power is very high for Vingroup.

3.1.2 The industry life cycle analysis
Research of the life cycle of the industry is part of an examination of the fundamental stage of a
product at a certain time. Ina business life cycle there are four stages: growth, peak,
contraction, and trough. An analyst can assess a company's position in the process and use it to
forecast potential financial results and predict potential expectations (Chen, 2020).
Internal stakeholders who are specialist units, local officers and production lines or staff at
different hierarchical levels
External stakeholders are the people that do not work directly for a corporation but are affected
in certain respects by the organization's operations and performance. All external stakeholders
are called vendors, investors, and public organizations.
Employees
The key internal stakeholders are the staff. Employees have considerable interest in the
company and resources, and they play a crucial role in the organization's policy, policies, and
operations. Controlled organizations, which form the company's strategy, vision and purpose
taking account of employee perceptions, concerns, and values. Workers have an immense effect
on a company's success. Human activity is one of the organization's most important and
valuable tools (Friedman, 2002).
Manager
12
Managers have a major role in determining the company's strategy and play an active part in
organizational decisions. Managers often take responsibility for decisions and serve as a point of
communication between shareholders, the management board, and the company itself. A
senior research and development manager may have a huge effect on an organization's future
success. Therefore, a business organization's competitiveness, growth, and sustainability
depend on how this community of internal stakeholders is treated. They are responsible for
achieving the organization's goals and objectives (Isaacson, 2011). Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong is the
owner and honorary president from 1993 to 2009, Technocom Co., Ltd., Ukraine. In 1992 he
earned a bachelor’s degree in Geological Economics from the Geological University of Moscow
in Russia. Many leaders have also graduated from world-class universities.
Owners
Owners who can include shareholders of publicly traded companies are those with significant
stakes in the company. Proprietors are accountable and play a significant role in policy for the
impacts of the organization. Owners also make major choices both internally and externally.
The owners are also significant internal players. They are internal players because they own the
business and have an effect directly on all decisions and ties between the other players and the
business (Roeder, 2013). The owner of this corporation is the billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong.
External stakeholders
Customers
The original objective of providing goods and services is to satisfy requirements. Knowing and
optimizing business practices to better serve the desires of the core consumer base of an
organization is also an integral part of running a company. Customers are external stakeholders
because they do not engage in business day-to-day activities. Either mediator customers or end
customers may be a customer. Intermediate customers help the company meet its final
customers. Agent, distribution outlets and distributors are included. We produce sales revenue
and their input is important to the creation of new products or the promotion of existing goods.
13
Vingroup is always interested in customers’ satisfaction. In the corporate responsibility policies
and plans of Vingroup, consumers are the top priority. This stakeholder group purchases and
uses Vingroup goods and thus directly affects its incomes and outcomes.
Suppliers
Suppliers and other strategic partnerships are interdependent in which one's success impacts
another's performance. Suppliers are also closely related to organizations as core external
stakeholders. In fact, vendors are important external factors involved in a business enterprise 's
operations. They provide raw materials and other non-human inputs necessary for the
organization's successful activity. Timely payments, deliveries, correspondence, and business
processes are important to maintain a good relationship with this community.
Society
A company with social responsibility adopts activities and strategies which mitigate
environmental damage. In order to minimize environmental pollution, as well as dust from
vehicles, Vingroup has produced electric vehicles to reduce the emissions of vehicles that
people deserve to use.
Government
Governments tax corporations and, therefore, play a significant role in their growth.
Governments can be regarded as primary players that provided the motive of profit.
Governments also have regulatory monitoring to ensure that company representatives comply
appropriately with accounting processes, ethical standards, and legal issues. The government
has a strong impact on Vingroup's activities, on the production or establishment of a subsidiary,
Vingroup's high or low tax payment always depends on the government's policy of supporting
businesses.
14
Creditors
Financial institutions and borrowers who credit the company's organization as stakeholders
include. By enhancing liquidity, they have an important effect on the activity of the company
organization. Business operations will influence creditors by supplying critical funds for business
operations and development for a short term and a long-term period (Cole, 2014). Vingroup's
financial resources invest in projects mostly from company capital, capital mobilized and
borrowed from banks. Therefore, they affect Vingroup's short-term or long-term financial
resources.

4 Conclusion
This report is examined the macro-environmental effect and influence on Vingroup and its
policies so that Vingroup clarified the potentialities and risks by using SWOT analysis. The
following analyzes were carried out on the Porter Five Forces model to determine for the
company the competitive powers and benefits of stakeholder research for a certain business
field. Understanding how internal and external stakeholders affect organizational growth and
