Part 2.1 External analysis a. Macro- environment analysis of P&G in Vietnam
According to Mr. Emre Olcer, General Director of P&G Vietnam, Vietnam is one of the priority markets of P&G. Up to now, P&G's investment in Vietnam has increased three times, reaching over $ 200 million in 2012 and will continue to increase in the next years. Vietnam provides foreign enterprises with several favorable conditions.

PEST analysis * P- Political * Vietnam is the nation having a stable political system with safe living environment, guaranteed security. * Overall administrative procedure has been reformed in Vietnam over the past 10 years, especially in the last 3 years, since the start of the implementation of the Scheme 30. These changes in the state bureaucracy, complex procedures enable foreign firms to enter Vietnam market and operate more conveniently. * E- Economic * Vietnam has undergone an unstable macroeconomic situation since 2007 and it has become worse in the years of 2011 and 2012. Two of the most serious problems are bad debt rampant and poorly performing state-owned enterprises. In addition, the government has implemented strict managerial policies on business activities such as: pricing, import restrictions, limited number of business enterprises and broadcast programs, which causes difficulties for business, particularly foreign firms. * The tight fiscal policy and monetary policy of the Government have achieved significant effects based on the macroeconomic indicators, however, maintaining this growth momentum in the coming year is not easy. European enterprises are concerned that this difficult macro-economic situation will continue to be worse in the first six months of 2013. There are too many negative signs to settle immediately, such as a drop in the labor force, the decline in real estate prices and the risk of bankruptcy of enterprises... * S- Social * Vietnam hold a potential source of young

    Southeast Asia is home to many people and countries today. The United States is very familiar with the state internationally recognized as the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam; it is commonly referred to as Vietnam in verbal and printed English-American language. This is because of the relatively recent U.S. and Vietnam War between 1963 and 1974. The influence of this war is still seen today. The Socialist Republic of Viet Nam was formed in 1975 after the fall of Saigon and the South Vietnamese government. U.S. involvement with the state extends back roughly twenty years before this when Japan was forced to surrender to the U.S. in 1945. Japan had occupied much of Southeast Asia during WWII after defeating the French colonial empire that had been established since 1893. Vietnam is a peninsular coastal country located in a very pivotal area. When the French first established colonial power there, it was in competition with Britain for dominance in the region. This region was the corner sea passage to the Eastern markets, China and Japan. Trade routes from Africa and the Suez Canal, seeking to reach China, would have to pass under India and around the Southeast Asian peninsula to turn northward up the Chinese coast. Vietnam is right where that turn is. It is filled with natural resources for production items that include tin, rubber, and rice. All of which became highly valued manufactured goods during the industrial revolution and the advancements of modern industrial warfare. French occupation of the land was adjacent to the British occupation of Burma, further Southeast on the opposite side of the Thailand delta. This middle region was kept independent from colonial powers for the sake of a buffer zone between French and British imperialism. France’s political realm of influence had been called French Indochina, and its land encompassed the areas today known as Vietnam, Laos, and…
