INTRODUCTION

After many years of penetrating into Vietnam market, windows, doors, partitions
of preminum uPVC materials have initially created a new trend of consumption for
domestic consumers. Among the manufacturers of this type of door, Eurowindow
emerged as a leading brand, both in terms of screen time, the quality and the market share
of the product.
Through product’s research and practical installation, with many different kinds of
door, Eurowindow always advise customers how to choose the most economical door
which help to ensure functional requirements as well as highlight the luxury and modern
characteristic of the construction. Perhaps, in addition to the quality and reputation of the
products, the professional and enthusiastic attitude toward customers is the reason to
make customers believe in using Eurowindow’s products throughout time. So far, there
have been more than 4,000 construction works using Eurowindow’s products in Vietnam
including office buildings, hotels, apartments, villas, etc. Along the results which have
been achieved, Eurowindow still strive to contribute to the beauty of construction works
across the country.
During my internship in Eurowindow Joint Stock Company, with the help of the
Board and the employees in the company, especially in Sales Department as well as the
helpful instructions from my supervisor Mrs. Vu Thi Thu Trang, I had general knowledge
about the company’s business activities and completed my internship report. However,
due to the first time exposing to the actual work as well as the limited time and
knowledge, my report cannot avoid some mistakes in the content and layout. I expect to
receive the teachers’ reviews to make my report perfect.
Thank you for your help!

In the recent three years, the structure of assets and sources of Eurowindow

Company has changed. Over 3 years, total assets and capital decreased 7.6%. Short-term
and long-term assets decreased significantly. However, liabilities in 2014 decreased to
24.7% versus 2012. From 2012 to 2014, the equity increased 24.5%.
In the Capital structure, equity accounts for only a small proportion (35%) in 2012
but has increased over the years, by 2014 to achieve 47% of total capital. This shows that
the company's debt ratio declined, making business operations of the company not depend
too much on the market’s interest rate as before.
In the Assets structure, short-term and long-term assets have decreased. The main
sources of income of the company rely on large projects as well as orders from domestic
and foreign businesses. The income is used to make payments for facilities, production as

Report of business activities in 2012-2013-2014 shows the variation in business of
the company in recent three years as follows:
Revenue, costs and profits are calculated very carefully by accounting department,
which accurately reflect the business activities of the company. Company’s revenue is
used to offset expenses. Revenues in 2014 reached 1285 billion VND while in 2012 it was
1373 billion VND, decreasing by nearly 88 billion VND (6.4%). The decrease in revenue
was due to complicated fluctuation of domestic market, the frozen situation of real estate

market during this time, which makes the company difficult in developing market,
increasing sales.
The figures above show that profit after income tax in 2013 decreased by 11,488
billion dong, equivalent to 20.7%. The decrease in profit after income tax means that the
business activities of the company in the year 2014 have more difficulties than in 2012.
This amount of profit was not used to distribute to shareholders but to supplement for the
entire equity of the company as well as to replace and repair fixed assets in order to serve
the manufacturing business of company.
In general, economic criteria in 2014 decreased compared to previous years.
Because of rising producing costs and economic crisis, Eurowindow company needs to
find solutions to remains stable business and asserts its position in the market.
2.3. Comments on the strong points and weak points of company’s business

activities
2.3.1. Strong points
In general, the management of revenue, expenses, profit distribution as well as
mobilization and using of company’s capital is fully implemented and updated in time,
which meets the need of administrators. The company always has obligations to the State
budget.
The company has a strong source of finance and facility, with 5 factories, 3
branches, nearly 40 showrooms and a hundred of dealers, distributors over the nation. So
the supply and distribution of products are flexible; goods are not redundant and timely
meet the need of customers. Besides, the factories are equipped with complete cutting
edge production lines imported from Europe such as Germany, Italy, Finland, Spain, etc.
Currently, the company has expanded manufacturing scale, developing market, with
the goal of providing best quality and services, harmonizing benefit for both Eurowindow
and Community as well as contributing to environmental protection, standing as a leader
in field of high-quality plastic window.
Ho Thi Duyen

Page 17


General Internship Report

Supervisor: Vu Thi Thu Trang

The company has nearly 4,000 employees including qualified specialist, engineers,
and high skilled workers, working under skillful and strategic guidance of experienced
leaders, which help to make the business activities of company more efficient and make
company’s position in the market increase.
2.3.2.

Weak points
- Firstly, the large scale of manufacturing makes it difficult for managers in

administrative activities. By integrating and developing, Eurowindow made a pretty
strong brand in the market. Vietnam is considered as a potential and quite large market so
expanding the manufacturing scale and distribution networks helps the company fully
meet the needs of customers. However, the expansion of scale leads to many difficulties
and challenges for the board of directors in managing.
- Secondly, in today’s market economy, a company wanting to have sustainable
development needs to be active in developing its own human resources. However, how to
recruit capable and loyal human resources is still a difficult problem. Increasing in
requirement of work and fierce competition in labor market require the company to
employ the labors who have much experience. However, the company has not had
flexible policies to attract and employ the talents.
- Thirdly, the producing materials are mostly imported, so it depends much on
foreign market. Moreover, the imported materials bearing extra cost which pushes up the
price of Eurowindow’s products, reduces the company’s competitiveness compared with

domestic products.
2.4.

Comments on the use of English in Eurowindow company
Eurowindow JSC mainly does business with foreign partners in Germany, Italy,

Spain, Switzerland, etc. So the use of English is the necessary and compulsory
requirement in the operation of the company; howerver, the usage of English is still not
really effective in this company.
Ho Thi Duyen

Page 18


General Internship Report

Supervisor: Vu Thi Thu Trang

With the feature that all activities in Eurowindow company are associated with
English, most of the staff can use English. This ability in the company ranges from
general to fluency. However, the requirement of English proficiency for the staff who is in
charge of logistics tasks such as manufacturing, cleaning and so on is not compulsory.
In the interviews for some departments such as Sales Department, Importing and
exporting material Department, the candidates are thoroughly tested on English
proficiency, especially in speaking and writing. Most of the employees in these
departments have English certificate from an intermediate or higher; some important
positions as directors, deputy directors are certified TOEIC / IELTS. In addition, the
company also encourages its employees to spend more time studying and practicing their
English skills in the evening at prestigious centers, thereby improving the company’s
quality of customer service and meeting the integration’s demand of the market economy.

CHAPTER 3: SOME PROBLEMS IN COMPANY’S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
3.1. Opportunities and challenges of the company
3.1.1. Opportunities

The trends of globalization and international economic integration have created a
lot of business opportunities and an “open playground” for enterprises. This is an
advantage to help Eurowindow company open up opportunities for associating with
domestic and foreign enterprises.
With the position of a leader in field of window, Eurowindow has opportunities to
capture the market share, build a good image, expand the manufacturing scale and
developing in other fields.
Vietnam’s economy are on track to develop, which helps to increase the customers’
demand on high-qualified products for construction, creates many chances for companies
specializing in providing high-qualified window such as Eurowindow to increase sales.
On the other hand, international marketing helps businesses have more advantages
to promote and apply on many aspects such as sales marketing, service marketing,
investment marketing, etc. Thank to this, Eurowindow company will accumulate a lot of
experience in organizing and managing company, researching market and planning
strategies, especially the experience in building strategy of international marketing.
3.1.2. Challenges

Along with the opportunities, the company itself and other domestic enterprises
have to face with many challenges.
Competition among the sectors in the era of globalization is rising and getting
tougher and tougher. Competitors have also increased both in quantity and quality. The
global competitiveness is stronger when tools and strategies of competition are more
complicated.

Ho Thi Duyen

Page 20


General Internship Report

Supervisor: Vu Thi Thu Trang

Challenges for market have become fiercer. Rapid increase in production makes the
supply tend to exceed the demand. So demand of the market is getting closer and stricter.
The first requirement is the quality of products. However, in today’s market economy,
only quality is not enough. Beside high quality, customers also require products to have
low costs, reasonable prices, perfect services, accurate delivery time and convenient
distribution channels. If the company cannot meet these requirements, it is easy for them
to lose customers.
The frozen situation of the real estate market as well as unexpected fluctuation of
the economics pose many challenges for Eurowindow in maintaining its position,
increasing sales revenue and stabilizing business activities, helping to bring the company
through the difficult period.
In addition, the price of importing materials is increasing. It puts pressure on
companies which depends on importing material such as Eurowindow. That the

environment is being destroyed seriously also needs to be cared.
3.2. Some problems in the use of English in Eurowindow Company

Although English is a basic requirement of Eurowindow company, the level of
English is not even. Only about one third of the employees in the company can use
English fluently. Most of the employees can communicate with foreign partners using
listening and speaking skills. Nevertheless, reading and writing skills are not the strength
of Eurowindow company, especially the skill of reading specialized projects. Due to the
fact that not many employees in the company are trained in universities or colleges or
foreign language centers, it is difficult for them to understand many specialized projects.
Communicating with foreign partners via business correspondence as well as skills of
writing reports and projects in English of many employees are not good enough. When
signing big contracts with foreign partners, the company still have to rely on the help of
the prestigious interpreting – translating offices to avoid unnecessary mistakes, convey
the most adequate and accurate information to customers, maintain the position and image
of the company in the market.

This problem has existed for a long time and is not easy to solve. However,
Eurowindow company can seek solutions to make the smooth operation, ensure the

production efficiency and avoid overlapping and gaps in the management.
3.3.2. Solutions to human resources

In order to attract and recruit the competent workforce, besides ensuring the
salaries, bonuses and preferential treatments, Eurowindow company firstly needs to
promote and maximize all the advantages to persuade the talents and prove that the
company is the “fertile and potential ground” for them to challenge, create and experience
so as to affirm their competence.
In addition, it is necessary for the company to create a better working environment,
understand and share the desires as well as difficulties of the employees. Eurowindow
company also needs to arrange some courses to enhance the solidarity among employees
and make timely decisions to avoid the risk of leaving the company of employees,
especially the important positions.

About the problem that the English levels in the company are uneven and some
English skills of the employees are limited, Eurowindow company can allow the
employees to participate in some short-term and long-term courses of specialized skills,
especially writing skill because this skill requires the high orthodoxy and profession. For
some logistics staff who are not fluent in English, the company can hold some English
courses of basic communication for them.
The content of courses should focus on communication patterns, common terms
and actual activities to practice English. Teachers maybe the employees of the company
who have been trained or use English fluently. By this way, the company can not only
save a large amount of cost but also enhance the solidarity and cohesion among people in
company.
In addition, the diversity of using English can be improved over time by exposing
to many forms of English in use. The departments in company can sum up some
documents of specialized words and different ways of using English to help the next
generation overcome this barrier more easily.
