Learning and
Growth
Service, technology, quality innovation. After 80 years changing, The hotel
has been voted in the “Top Ten
Hotels” for ten consecutive years
because Hotels at the forefront of
quality comes good service bring
absolute satisfaction to customers.
 The difference between the private and public sector:
Public Sector = A service provided by government or local government
Private Sector= A service provided by private, individual.
There is a big difference between public sector and private sector. SOE is very weak
in innovation, but private is very strong in innovation. Because the private company need to be strong
innovation to service. Thus Process are what factor private want to follow, the process make customer
to be satisfy. They always learn and growth day by day, year by year. Because IF their innovations
are good (learn and growth good), then it can improve process. If service of private company good
and professional, they can increase satisfaction, bring more and more customers or loyal customers.
When customer come with satisfaction, financial of private company are not important. And If the
private company have more money, they will come back to learn and growth their good. It is a
development round. In stark contrast to the private sector, Public just care about their profit or their
financial. They will make bigger their company’s value, and stop there, not innovation, not improve

9. 9
process. Then Private will have good performance than public sector, because the way of developing
of private is innovation, they need to find the effective methods to attract more customers and increase
their reputation and they will make more and more than profit. Public sector just stop at creating
profits without innovation, It will never make highest profit, and highest performance.
1b. Describe the extent to which an organization meets the objectives of different stakeholders
TASKS
1. From your perspective, identify the three most important stakeholders of FPT plc.
Explain who they are, their objectives and why they are the most important.
Established on 09/13/1988, for almost 25 years development, the company FPT Information
Technology and Telecommunications in Vietnam, leading to more than $ 1.2 billion in revenue (fiscal
2012 report), create nearly 15,000 jobs and the value of market capitalization in 2012 was nearly
10,000 billion (equivalent to U.S. $ 480 million), are among the largest private enterprises in Vietnam
(as reported by the Vietnam report 500 ).
With core business areas in the field of Information Technology and Telecom, FPT provides
service to 46/63 provinces and cities in Vietnam, constantly expanding global market. FPT has
presence in 14 countries around the world, such as Japan, USA, UK, France, Germany, Singapore,
Australia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam.
In specific, three important stakeholders of FPT plc are shareholder, employees and
customers.
 Shareholder (Connected)
Shareholders who are important with one company, like FPT. In the equitization process, the
selection of the position of who are shareholder is very important for the operation of the business
after equitization. Their main interest is a return on their investment whether in the short or long term.
Because they earn and lose money from their capital they put it in company. In FPT plc, chairman of
the board with 7.15% ownership rate is Mr. Truong Gia Binh; Vice President of the board with 3.71%
ownership rate is Mr. Bui Quang Ngoc.
A shareholder owns a share of the company in which they have invested or bought share. This
means the shareholder can have a say in the running of that company. They may take part in a key
making decision of company. Because they are chairman and president of the board, their comment
will be very influential in the decisions the FPT plc takes. However, if the majority shareholder
(together account for two-thirds of the shares in the company) believes a proposal to be detrimental
to the businesses, it may not be carried through even the board president through. They are important
because they put money into FPT’s finance, so the company can use that money for their strategy,
plan in future and do something for interests of the company.
Mr Truong Gia Dinh, Mr Bui Quang Ngoc and all shareholders of company, all toward a goal
that improve company’s profit such as Profit maximization. They focus on make bigger and bigger
values of company. When a company have big value, they can easy to return on capital (ROI) and
have more and more interest from investors when buy shares of the company.
 Customer (Connected)
Customers are buying direct object and use the company's services. More specifically with
FPT, their clients may be individuals or organizations, they are going to buy the services of companies
providing market FPT.
The goal of the customer is what they will be receiving from the company's services provided,
as well as the quality of the products they buy. For example, on the test network, there are three main

10. 10
suppliers VNPT, Viettel and FPT. What is the goal of their customers put their trust in FPT have to
help them meet demand, prices are not competitive, stable quality and network operators better
remaining two
With any company, not just the FPT, the target customer is always top of the company.
Because customers are someone who will buy and use their services. Without customers, or not to
attract customers, the company will soon bankrupt.
 Employees (External)
Employees are the puzzle pieces to form an overall picture about one company. If the staff is
good, new companies can grow. Because they are directly contributing to make product and build the
company's image
The goal of the staff is more individual's target than company's target. Most employees want
to have a stable job with good pay and good status in society. FPT have full ingredients, here is a
competitive environment, to facilitate their employees can maximize their potential. Also FPT also
focus on issues of wages and holiday for employees to help they to feel comfortable and FPT can
retain workers.
2. Using the three stakeholders you have just identified, explain three conflicts of interest that
might occur between them.
 Conflict between customers and shareholders
For example, in a case that may occur in the FPT, If the company want to increase the speed
network, they need to install new optical fibre cables to be able to provide super-fast broadband
services across the country. This may be welcomed by customers, however some shareholders may
object to the company investing in activities that will not contribute directly to profits. Customers
want low prices, but shareholders may feel that higher prices would generate greater profits. This is
the conflict between customers and shareholders.
 Conflict between customer and employees
When customers are not served as they expected, the conflict will be happen. This conflict
often occurs in society than other conflicts, because the staff unfriendly attitude, it will affect the
purchase and use of customer service, then conflict will affect the revenue and the number of sales of
the company.
 Conflict between shareholders and employees
With a lack of flexibility in the way the staff treats sometimes conflicts between management
and employees is very likely to occur. For example, to complete a product plan in a short time, the
manage want employees start overtime, and no additional salary. It is affecting the personal lives of
the employees, such as cooking, caring family of female employees. So employees often feel tense
and in many situations can lead to quit.
1c. Explain the responsibilities of an organization and strategies employed to meet them

In UK In Vietnam( lastest01/5/2013)
Regarding The Equal Pay Act of 1970, males
and females are set the same wage of the same
type of work or ranked as being of the same
value.
According to the labor law of Vietnam, men and
women are equal. But in fact, in the important
position, women generally have fewer rights to

wage are less than male.
From 1 Oct 2013: More clearly than Vietnam

8.04$

12. 12
 Contractual issues: is the contractual agreement between the two parties but must
through writing and must be certified clear. This legal document called labor contracts, which protect
the interests of workers and managers. If the original coffee Trung Nguyen want to place shop in UK,
manager of Trung Nguyen must first adhere to and respect the laws of the United Kingdom about
hiring employees, in addition they can break the rules. But breaking the law here to be beneficial to
the employee as reduced hours, increased product quality, etc. If Trung Nguyen violated the terms of
their labor contracts, workers have the right to sue in courts of the United Kingdom. Besides Trung
Nguyen Coffee need to add some mandatory rules in their labor contract (Course book, 2013, p.108)
 Name employer and employee
 Date of beginning labor contract
 Pay (Scare or rate and intervals at which paid)
 Hour of work
 Holiday and holiday payment entitlement
 Sick leave and sick entitlement
 Pension and pension schemes
 Title of Job
 Length of notice of termination
 Continuous period
 Discrimination: If Trung Nguyen has any discrimination in these aspects below, UK
will never accept them to invest in their country and use their employees
In UK In Vietnam
The Sex Discrimination Act, 1975 and The
Equal Pay Act of 1970
Protects employees against discrimination on
the grounds of gender, for example: in job
advertisements, in selection of employees for
jobs, in promoting employees, offering training
and career development opportunities. And
specially, male and female workers must have
the same rights and they don't Discrimination
against gay and lesbian workers
In Vietnam, gay and lesbian do not accepted
like a third gender, so government do not have
labor laws to protect homosexuals
From The Race Relations Act, 1976
Makes discrimination on grounds of race illegal
in the same way as the Sex Discrimination Act.
people from different race and nationality have
the same opportunity to start their work. For
example, A Korean chefs must not do his/her job
in korea restaurants. However, in some place
may still remain with the discrimination blacks.
In Vietnam, a foreigner can receive higher
wages than those of Vietnam in the same
position in the same job. Because wages of
foreigners are mixed by market, Vietnamese
workers is still mixed by a certain ministry
The Disability Discrimination Act, 1995 The
Act defines discrimination in relation to
disability as when a disabled person is treated
less favourably and organization must warrant
for them to do their best
People with disabilities are less likely to be
worked in Vietnam like all normal people to
work in large companies. they can just only
communicate and work with people with
disabilities as they
Religion: Manager cannot eliminate employees
because of their religion such as Muslim (The
Equality Act 2010).
Vietnamese are no religion and a minority is
christianism so this discrimination is rather rare
in Vietnam.

13. 13
(The Equality Act 2010) It is equal for everyone
to evaluate by the quality of work not their age,
if they have a good performance, old and young
are not important.
In Vietnam, where some manager want to the
recruiting experienced worker and very few
young people. Because of their organizations
operate under entrepreneuriual, so they need
people with experience, so young people have
little chance of such organizations.
2.Consumers are protected by many laws in Britain. With regard to your service being sold
in Britain, you must inform your directors of the three most important laws that protect consumers
buying your services and explain the implications in meeting these obligations.
Investment in the UK market, to succeed, Trung Nguyen need to determine "Who are winner
/ loser when apply market." If to assert their own names in the UK, the customer will be the winner.
Trung Nguyen therefore need to comply with consumer protection laws, so that customers have the
confidence and peace of mind with products.
 “Sale of goods legislation” is governed by the Sale of Goods act 1979 (SGA). “The
SGA gives a customer certain rights against a business who is selling them goods” (Course book,
2013, p.92). This regulation allows customers to have “satisfactory quality”. It means that the
customers have to claim their right but it is depend on different situations. If the customers purchase
one product which the quality is not as described as the business did, they can return the product to
the seller. After that, they can have another product at the same level or ask for the refund. This is a
normal type of complain. However, if your case is more serious or the shop refuses to co-operate, the
customers have to sue in the Country Court Consumer Protection Act (1987): governs both the pricing
of products and product safety. Apply for Trung Nguyen coffee, the price stability and confirmed
quality products along with safety is also a strategy built entirely reasonable
 According to Consumer Protection Act 1987 (CPA), the consumer no longer has to
prove negligence (Course book, 2013, p.98). It means that the consumer can bring claim for losses
caused by defects in a product and require compensation. The British consumers always set their
respect and follow the law exactly. Therefore, Trung Nguyen’s responsibility should change,
innovating and developing the service to serve the customer’s demand. If the quality of service of
Trung Nguyen please even the discerning guest's, more and more people will know to Trung Nguyen
brand as a respected corporate law coffee and quality.
 Trade Descriptions Act 1968: this law aims to protect the customer when the
manufacture give the wrong information about the quality, tasty for them and, in fact their Product
what be received is not the same. So Trung Nguyen coffee’s act giving specific information to
consumers about their products is also very full.
Like point of view of an investor, coffee Trung Nguyen should abide by three laws above,
they should understand the importance of the observance of the laws. In long/short terms consumers
will be satisfied with brands Trung Nguyen coffee which offer customers the reliability, safety and
quality assurance. Coffee Trung Nguyen will have a lot of loyal customers, who they had just fixed
interest investments are long term, because thanks to them, quality coffee brands Trung Nguyen
reputation will be broadened more
