| Abstract | Value chain management has the potential to significantly benefits for companies to deliver best value outputs to customers, while improves quality, reduces cost and shortens time. However, it is not widely known and applied on Vietnamese construction industry. Therefore, the research focuses on main issues of current management and value chain management on Vietnamese companies to find their critical efficiencies and acceptability. Data collection was mainly conducted on interview thirty-seven top managers and questionnaire forty line managers of fifty pure Vietnamese companies located in Hanoi city. Eight foreign top managers are moreover interviewed and benchmarking against local managers' perceptions. The descriptive statistics and hypothesis tests are used to analyze the collected data. The finding shows higher knowledge and application of traditional management over new management. Additionally, value chain management is very far from Vietnamese companies as its knowledge and application very low even it may generate more benefits than current management. The research recommends Vietnamese companies invest in new management methods, especially value chain management to enhance competitive abilities, generate better value outputs for satisfying customers. In order to do so, Vietnamese attitudes and perceptions for current management systems should be changed to suit with philosophies of the free market economy. |
