2.1.3. Advantages of Sao Nam Viet
Internal advantages
Sao Nam Viet has variety of products that create product differentiation for
the company. To survive in the global competitive market, Sao Nam Viet keeps
creating new products that enable them to remain relevant. Sao Nam Viet competes
to create unique products that satisfy customer demands through differentiation.

international market. Sao Nam Viet also develops differentiate products to respond
to customers' preferences. Product differentiation attracts customers to different
segments of the market a wide variety of goods to choose from.
Moreover, Sao Nam Viet has variety has good sales team. The sales team
takes responsibilities to create sales projections for the coming year based on
comprehensive observations of the marketplace, sales activity within the company
and sales trends within the industry. An experienced sales team helps Sao Nam Viet
achieve big revenue and enlarge company growth. By the way, the good sales team

External advantages
There is a good chance for products to export. Last time, Vietnam imported a
wide range of product portfolio. Especially high tech and industrial products. Since
local technology is still at low level. A huge amount of goods is imported from
China. Our big neighbor has advantage on economy of scale, so we imported even
products we can produce domestically due to the low price. However, Viet Nam
reduces imports and boosts exports these high tech and industrial products in which
there are products products. One leading high potential sector is the furniture
industry with an increasing demand for modern equipment and technology in the
furniture manufacturing process. The industrial products have a high export chances
and can be provided by foreign players.
Sao Nam Viet takes advantage from exporting their productss when Vietnam
joins trade agreement with the countries in the world. For instance, regarding trade
in goods, under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA), Vietnam has
applied the zero percent duty rate to about 90 percent of tariff lines and will abolish
about 97 percent of tariff lines and tariff quotas before 2018. Regarding
opportunities, tariff barriers will be lifted; non-tariff barriers will be reduced to
facilitate the movement of Vietnamese goods.
Besides, Vietnamese labour cost is cheap that helps Sao Nam Viet reduce its
pressure in manufacturing. It means that Sao Nam Viet can earn more money from
their business when hiring cheap labour. As the result, the company can save more
money for their business and invest into high technology.
2.1.4 Disadvantages of Sao Nam Viet
Internal disadvantages
Sao Nam Viet marketing strategy is not good enough that limited its
development. Their customers are becoming more and more fed up with marketing,
but the truth is that they are just tired and annoyed by bad marketing. When the
market team was less saturated, their customers had more time to listen, and media
channels were more interesting to them. Today customers don't listen, not only
because there are more marketers trying to capture their attention or because they
have less time, but also because Sao Nam Viet Marketing team have no caring,
helpful and entertaining enough. Part of the problem is that Sao Nam Viet does not
have enough resources, relevant information and time to do a good Marketing
strategy at trying to target so many potential customers.
Besides, Sao Nam Viet lack of money to enlarge their business. Inadequate
amount of capital creates a lot of financial problems to Sao Nam Viet to do business.

Then they have to get loans from some banks. As the result, the company has to pay
very high Interest expenses that affect to their profit as analysis above. Moreover,
raw materials cannot be purchased on time and payment of labor and other expenses
can not be made on time that sometimes happens in Sao Nam Viet.
In addition, Sao Nam Viet is also bad at management on employees and
costs. Bad management practices deflate employee morale, cause stress that results
in sometimes serious health issues, and cost the company more than just the cost of
high turnover. Then the problems between the company and some employees
happens, as the result, they serve their customers poorly and quit their jobs.
Moreover, disgruntled and mishandled employees stop caring about how well they
perform their jobs, are more likely to demand more money for extra tasks, and may
even hurt the company via theft. The bad management also creates high costs that
Sao Nam Viet has to bear. This is the root of reduction of profit in 2017.
External disadvantages
Firstly, Sao Nam Viet face tough competition in export market. Moreover, it
is very difficult for Sao Nam Viet to find foreign buyers last few years. The supply
is profuse and oversupply, other markets have tightened control over the import
quality, thus, Sao Nam Viet faces tough competition from regional peers in
providing an attractive environment with their productss. Especially, Sao Nam Viet
productss face fierce competition from similar products from China, this leads the
company to lose market share. Moreover, several countries devalued their local
currencies to promote their exports together with strengthening protection for the
products, affecting Sao Nam Viet productss, too. The company also realizes that
further difficulties and challenges due to the slow recovery of the world economy
and fierce competition will come to them next few years.
The most important disadvantage that Sao Nam Viet face is problem-solving
in foreign markets. Because their staff lack of international knowledge about law
and regulation, thus, whenever they have problems the company can not solve well.
Geographical challenges are inevitable for the company that needs to export goods
that have low value compared to their weight and size primarily. Thus, lack of
insight into the law and regulations of other countries is a great obstacle for Sao
Nam Viet trying to enter new international markets. Moreover, their brand name is
also registered in foreign market, protection of intellectual property rights is poor.
As the result, Sao Nam Viet brand names can not compete well in foreign market.

A marketing strategies:
Firstly, Key markets are some Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia,
Brunei, China India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand....
The Asian region accounts for 60 percent of the world’s populace and is filled with
tremendous market opportunities. The economies of ASEAN countries are
consumer-driven. In the last fifteen years, the Asian middle class has increased
sevenfold. A study by Brookings Institution indicates that, by 2030, the Asian
middle class will constitute about 66 percent of the global share.
A healthy spread of construction product supports the stability of the Asian
markets. The share between residential, industrial and infrastructural projects is
almost evenly distributed. By government intervention there is a slight majority of
projects on the infrastructure side. Almost all Asian countries are expected to
increase their budgets for infrastructure in the next five years. With increased
spending of about 7% China, India and Vietnam are about to take the lead by 2020.
Moreover, Oil demand in the Asia Pacific region is forecast to account for
almost 90% of the increase in global demand between 2014 and 2040. By 2035, the
region is expected to contribute 35% of total global energy production.

short term to reach the expectation of its products will be more widely accepted
market. It is a market of customers who have never bought a product or who are
loyal to a competitor's product, and who also use it for long-life products. Market
penetration strategies will often attract buyers by offering cheaper goods and
services than marketplaces. While many new companies use this approach to attract
customers' attention, market penetration tends to lead to a loss of start-up capital.
Gradually, the reputation of the business in the market can bring profit and make the
brand stand out among the industry. Often, after entering the market at a certain
level, companies often begin to raise prices to better reflect their position in the
market and bring in interest rates.

and gas, the constructors. Breaking into a foreign market, especially one with strict
rules and regulations, can be a very daunting task. Thus, Sao Nam Viet must have
