The global economy has been going through the most turbulent time. Yet lights seem to appear at the end of the tunnel. To companies’ leaders, the key to go ahead and achieve success when the economy recovers is to make right decisions, choosing effective solutions, strategies, and effectively reducing risks right at the time being.
Today, in Việt Nam logistics costs account for 20-25% of GDP. Vietnam’s government has been investing billions of USD in developing logistics infrastructure such as the construction of Cái Mép-Thị Vải complex port in Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province, international airport Long Thành in Đồng Nai province, the opening of Côn Minh – Hà Khẩu – Hải Phòng economic corridor, which will help to reduce significantly costs in transportation. Therefore, it is very high time for companies to review their own logistics systems, which maybe cause an increase in your logistics costs and unnecessary inventory. Is your import/export process effective and safe? Have your approaches to resolve disputes been effective? What are the potential opportunities and risks? Which is your ultimate strategic management in this current economic environment?
