BACKGROUND
1. Necessity of the study
With response to the international and regional economic integration
development trends, Vietnamese enterprises and organizations are put under
increasingly high pressure not only from the foreign counter-partners but also cutthroat competition even in each agency and organization. The Vietnamese and
international practice proved that a positive cultural environment is a reliable
background to successfully compete and create the sustainable development for the
organization and enterprise. However, in such globalization trend, the cultural
assimilation is tended to increase. In order to prevent from becoming a cultural
consistency, each organization is required to maintain and uphold its own culture.
Culture decides the survival of an organization and helps it further develops out
of the starting point of founders. Culture is also recorded as an intangible asset of
such organization. Culture helps the organization to reduce the conflict, coordinate
and control, motivate the employees and enhance the competitive advantages. By
reducing the conflict, culture cements the organization’s members who may be
unified in terms of understanding, evaluation, and selection and action orientation.
When the organization is faced with conflict tends, members are unified by the
culture. When a complicated decision is required, culture helps the organization to
narrow down the options to be considered, motivate the employees so that they may
master their job objectives and orientation, creating the good relationship between
the employees and a convenient and healthy working environment.
Organization culture plays an important role not only for improvement of
comprehensive work performance but also an important solution to successfully
improve the competitiveness. Culture creates the differences and distinguishes
among organizations.
Corporate culture may be regarded as one of valuable intangible asset of each
enterprise. Corporate culture may create trust for each person working in such
environment, a link among the members of the enterprise, creating the voice
between the members and improving the enterprise’s competitiveness. Therefore,
1
corporate culture may be regarded as an important mechanism in managing human
resources. Meanwhile corporate culture is really merged into the objectives of each
member, then, they may consider the enterprise’s objectives as their personal
objectives. That is why culture-based management may drive the enterprise’s longterm development.
To become the universal industrial Group and Vietnamese Brandname to be
recognized as the regional leading position in ASEAN, THACO is required to make
ceaseless efforts to develop its internal force, renovate the thinking and action, and
improve the quality and scale of the staff. In order to do these, one of important
tools to manage and govern the Company is THACO culture.
By always submerging the idea that the staff is the important resources to create
the success and sustainable development, THACO culture is oriented toward
developing a qualified staff with strong will, positive working attitude, high
creativeness and high sense of qualification improvement to be able to work in a
discipline and contribute to the Company's development. As a result, they become
the person useful for the society and the Country.
With awareness of significance of corporate culture on enterprise’s success and
the sustainable future of the Group, creating a reliable premise to extend to the
region and the world, “Development of corporate culture in Thaco Group”
(THACO) topic is selected as the author’s graduation thesis.

CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ON CORPORATE
CULTURE DEVELOPMENT
1.1. Overview about the study on corporate culture development
Corporate culture or company culture has been widely studied and announced in
the world and in Vietnam by many researchers. Approaches to the corporate culture
are varied by each researcher.
1.1.1. Situation of foreign study
Corporate culture in the world is generally characterized by 2 different research
orientations. The first orientation is to approach under the perspective of ongoing
business administrators (micro-approach), focusing on searching and looking for the
management nature of the cultural factors in business administration. The second
one is to approach from the perspective of the cultural factors’ impact on business
administration (macro approach), focusing on the cultural factors’ impact on
businesses, especially for businesses with a multicultural or organizational
environment
a. Three-tier corporate culture model of Schein
Three-criteria-based evaluation method of corporate culture is applied by
Schein's research model, concretely: Tangible structure, announced value and
general concepts, implications. The evaluation method of corporate culture is
considered to be more practical than the theoretical value of that of the competitive
value framework. That is the three-tier corporate culture model (Schien 1999).
Schein’s model is focused on three levels of culture that are the three evaluation
criteria of culture, from practice, implications to invisibility:
-
Level 1 (Practice): Provide specific evidence such as folk stories, protocols, stories
and symbols.
-
Level 2 (Standard value): Explain the strategy, purpose and philosophy to guide the
thinking and behavior in the enterprise.
5
-
Level 3 (General implication assumption): Including the basic assumptions,
awareness, value, trust and especially from the founder or the leaders of the
Company.
Advantages: Evaluation method under E. Schein model is relatively simple and
easy to perform, suitable with the enterprise with restricted time and budget for
understanding its own culture. By using this model, the leader is facilitated to
effectively identify, in particular, the cultural elements of the business, and analyze
the relationships between tangible and cultural values which are deeply originated
from the business initiated by the company. Similarly, the leaders find the cultural
elements to be changed to be well matched with the Company’s ever-changing
environment in accordance with new competitive conditions and new regulations.
b. Studies launched by Recardo and Jolly
Recardo and Jolly (Recardo & Jolly, 1997) unveiled that, when the corporate
culture is mentioned, it often covers the system of values and beliefs that are
understood and shared by members of an organization. A culture helps to shape and
define members' behaviors and organizational policies. Corporate culture is
measured by 8 aspects, concretely:
- Communication: Quantity and forms of communication, what information is
communicated and by which way, open communicative system must be provided.
- Training and development: The administrators’ commitment to offer the
great development and organizational opportunities that new skills are enabled to be
applied for the practice. Moreover, training programs are provided to successfully
satisfy the employee's current or future development needs.
- Bonus and recognition: The rewarded behaviors and the applicable bonuses,
employees to be rewarded individually or collectively, promotion criteria, and the
degree to which the organization provides feedback on the job satisfaction level.
- Decision making: Decision making is related to the questions such as how
the decision is made and how the conflicts are handled. Decisions are quick or slow.
The organization is high ranking. Decision making is characterized by concentrating
or decentralizing.
6
- Risk acceptance: Creativeness and renovation are highly appreciated and
rewarded. Risk acceptance is encouraged and welcome with the new ideas.
Employees are punished or motivated to test the new ideas.
- Plan orientation: Planning is short term or long term, and future planning is
applied, which visions, strategies and objectives are shared with the employees. To
which extent, the employees make commitment to fulfill the enterprise’s strategy
and other organization objectives.
- Group work: This aspect relates to the issues, including significance, form
and effectiveness of group work in the organization. It includes the significance of
cooperation among various departments, trust between the functions or units, and
mutual support for work performance.
- Governance policies: This aspect measures fairness and consistency with the
implemented policies, the impact of member governance styles and the governance
level that provides a safe work environment.
c. The Denison model (1990)
The Denison model is based on 200 years of research on how corporate
culture affects the performance of businesses. Denison's research has found a link
between the organizational culture evaluation score and the key performance results
of the business such as profitability (ROE, ROA, ROI), growth (sales growth rate). ,
market share), quality, innovation, employee and customer satisfaction.
This model aims to analyze and evaluate the constituent factors and influence
on corporate culture including 4 main feature frames, each characteristic frame is
assessed through 3 scales, each scale consists of 5 similar variables. corresponding
to 60 questions in the Denison questionnaire.
Based on the model, we can see the correlation between the cultural factors
of the model and important data about the organization's activities. For example, a
high score in a Stable region tends to show the strongest relationship with
profitability, while a Flexible area has a strong relationship with performance such
as innovation and customer satisfaction ... Hay cultural factors that exhibit
Outward-Focusing tend to have strong relationships with the overall development of
7
the organization while factors related to Introverted are related to performance
measures such as performance, quality and employee satisfaction.
1.1.2. Situation of domestic study
a. According to the study released by Asso.Prof.Dr. Do Minh Cuong
Presented in the course books “Business culture and philosophy” of the
National Political Publishing House, published in 2001, the definition on corporate
culture is released by focusing on in-depth research of business philosophy issues.
(Do Minh Cuong, 2011)
b. According to the study of Nguyen Anh Tuan, M.A and Nguyen Phuong Mai, M.A
Research objectives and contents: Analyze the mutual interaction between the
enterprise's cultural environment and the selection and implementation of strategies
initiated by Vietnamese enterprises in the ever-changing economic period. Offer the
possible recommendations for Vietnamese enterprises to successfully develop a
corporate culture in accordance with the strategic orientation and good match with
the changing environments. Main findings: Specify the impact of economic and
social characteristics in the transition period to the issue of awareness and how to

corporate culture. Put forward some recommendations and set up the corporate
culture that is compatible with the business strategy. Training results of the study:
References for Strategy Management and Corporate Culture. (Nguyen Anh Tuan
and Nguyen Phuong Mai, 2011).
c. According to the study of Nguyen Viet Loc, M.A
Entrepreneurship is recognized as the core values categorized as the qualities,
capabilities and moral qualities that must be obtained and pursued by the
entrepreneurs. By inheriting the studies on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship
culture, a cultural value system of Vietnamese entrepreneurs has been designed and
developed in accordance with the core factors of entrepreneurship, including: Great
business aspiration; Capacity to search, create, master business opportunities;
8
Independence, determination, confidence; Dare to do, dare to take responsibility;
Flexibility, activeness; Always application of new ideas, methods and solutions to
solve new problems; Business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It is also
given out hereof to measure and simulate such factors to facilitate the evaluation and
orientation of Vietnamese enterprises’ cultural values in the context of international
economic integration nowadays. (Nguyen Viet Loc, 2011)
1.2. General concept on corporate culture
1.2.1. General concept on culture and business culture
The history of development has proved that culture is the most important factor
to distinguish the nations, regions or groups of persons, including individuals, etc.
"Culture affirms the development, demonstrates the power of society and the people
it represents.” Rabin Dranath Tagore, the Indian famous writer (1861-1941) affirms
that: “responsibilities of each nation are to clearly show the world its unique
identity. He thought that if a people does not bring anything to the world, it shall be
so bad, it shall be worse than perdition and not be forgiven by the history”. “”
Terms “culture” is originated from Latin language, i.e., “Cultus” refers to
cultivation, care of trees. Then, “cultus” is extended to the social fields, implicated
for spiritual care, education and human training towards a better orientation.
To the widest scope of research: “Culture is the master of spiritual and physical
values created by the persons during survival and development”. “Physical values
may refer to: beauty spots, pagodas, temples, historical relics as well as the
traditional cultural products. For example, Vietnam is recorded with: Bat Trang
ceramic village, Dong Ho picture or historical relics such as: Hoang Thanh Thang
Long, Temple of Literature. The spiritual values are demonstrated in the living
habits, folk songs, “hat xam”, adoration, and especially Vietnamese Xoan singing
recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage representing the
humanity.”
To the narrower scope of research: “Culture refers to the activities and spiritual
value of the human beings”. To this extent, Scientific culture such as mathematics,
physics, chemistry, culture and concerned industries, etc., and art culture such as
9
movies, literature, music, etc., to be considered as two main subsystems of the cultural
system.
When Culture is referred, it surely covers the very famous brief and cohesive
definitions of the famous French politician Édouard Herriot (1872 – 1957), that is
“Culture is the remaining when everything is forgotten, the insufficiency when we
have learn everything”. Therefore, culture is the identity of every individual, every
nation, every nation which cannot be easily forgotten. However, this definition only
shows the importance and extent of the culture, rather than the specific
characteristics.”
Another famous cultural researcher, Federic Mayor, UNESCO's Chief
Executive Officer (1987 -1999), gave out a specific definition, concretely: "Culture
reflects and demonstrates generally and vividly all aspects of life (of each
individual and community) that took place in the past as well as happen in the
present, over the centuries. It constitutes a system of traditional values, aesthetics
and lifestyle which each ethnic group asserts its own identity.” Through the
aforesaid investigations, a concept on culture may be drawn out as follows:
“Culture refers to all spiritual and physical values created by the human beings
during survival and development”.
“1990s witnessed the appearance of term of business culture and corporate
culture. Business culture appeared before the corporate culture. Such two concepts
are simultaneously used and mutually supported to each other.”
Therefore, corporate culture is the expression of business culture at corporate
level. hence, it is concluded that corporate culture is a phenomenon and part of the
business culture.
1.2.2. Concept on corporate culture
Each organization is supported by certain standards of moral values, typical
images, anecdotes, idiosyncrasies and typical styles that are recognized,
implemented, complied and communicated by all members by time. It is acted as
the reliable basis for the organization members to follow and create the important
influence on routine behaviors of every member.
10
Corporate culture is construed as: “a system of meanings, values, key trusts,
awareness and thinking method to be agreed by the organization members, widely
affecting the member’s action manners”.
The question is that: What is corporate culture? Corporate culture is
characterized by various definitions and understandings. The scholar Georges de
Saite Marie – a French expert on SMEs defined that: “Corporate culture refers to
collection of values, symbols, legend, protocols, prohibitions, physiology and moral
viewpoints to create the reliable background of the enterprise”. It is possible to see
that the concept only summaries the constituents of corporate culture, rather than
mutual relation inside the enterprise.
A relatively popular definition on “Corporate Culture” of the scholar Edgar H.
Schein, an US expert, recorded with many years in studying the culture is shown as
follows: “Corporate culture is the collection of rules and procedures acquired by
the enterprise members during problem solving, adapted from outside and
internally consisted in the enterprise.” “Such rules and procedures are the triggers
for the members to select the action method, analyze and make proper decisions
without hesitating about the meanings of such rules and procedures. It is considered
to be correct from the beginning.”
In short, even it is defined differently from time to time, it is possible to reach
an agreement on corporate culture definition, concretely: “Corporate culture refers
to a system of value, concepts and behavior rules to be internally shared by the
enterprise, governing the feeling, thinking and how to act of members during
pursuing and fulfilling the general objectives, creating an unique identity of each
enterprise.”
1.2.3. Identity of corporate culture
Identity is characterized by corporate culture philosophy, unique phenomenon
of style, action, behavior of organization, reflecting the selected values and
philosophy. Organization's cultural identify is clearly demonstrated by organization
members’ behavior. It is also the sign to show the consistency in terms of
awareness, key philosophy values of the company.”
11
“Corporate culture identity is not long-lasting; it may be varied by following
characteristics:
“Cultural identity may be created: Persons who may create the cultural
values and identities are founders. Since its inception, the organization’s missions
and individual's cultural identity values are specified.
“Cultural identity may be formed by strengthening: In such cases, leaders
find the way to protect and preserve the prevailing moral and cultural values. They
may be very successful outstanding characters in some fields, or they may
undertake the position and responsibilities for preserving and enhancing the created
cultural identity. Therefore, operating philosophy culture is deeply submerged in the
consistent culture.
“Cultural identity may be formed by integration: Leaders often apply the
leading and integrating style, attentively listen and find the best way to successfully
integrate, act as a bridge to connect, regulate, motivate and share with other persons.
Thence, leadership philosophy and style are deeply characterized by integration culture.”
“Cultural identity may be changed: Changes in culture may be required
when the fundamental changes are recorded in the organization such as
industrialization or technology, foreign culture integration (cross-culture), changes
in senior managers. Pressure of such changes requires to take the great and
fundamental changes in terms of leadership style, philosophy and action guidelines.
When the culture is changed, leadership philosophy and style are deeply
characterized by adapt culture.”
1.2.4. Brandname
Brandname is a very popular concept widely concerned since long time. This
concept is also interpreted by various manners such as: “Brandname is the dignity
of the organization and enterprise and known as a well-respected principles, values
and action philosophy of such organization and enterprise which are easily
recognized or looked back through the corporate culture’s phenomenon”.
