CHAPTER 2
HIGHLANDS BUSINESS ANALYSIS
2.1 Introduction
In this chapter, we are going talk about a well-known coffee in Hanoi, Highlands
coffee which was born out of the pure passion for Vietnamese coffee. We will take a
deep look at several prospective, things like the development of Highlands coffee
chain, markets and customers target, the structure of organization and some
highlightenned performance.
2.2 Overview of Highlands Company
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, David Thai witnessed the rise of the Starbucks
coffee chain from a small company in his hometown of Seattle to a multinational
corporation. This made him had the inspiration behind the founding of Highlands
Coffee, which first began operation in Hanoi in 1998. The company's initial
registration marked the first time an Overseas Vietnamese was able to register a private
company of any kind in Vietnam. In 2000, two years later, the company was registered
as a joint stock company.
Highlands limited itself to produce packaged coffee and be sold through supermarkets,
hotels, restaurants, and cafés in the time of its foundation. In 2002, the first Highlands
Coffee shop was established across from Notre-Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City.
As of 2009, the company had a strong development, they operated 80 coffee shops in
six cities and provinces across Vietnam: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da
Nang, Vung Tau and Dong Nai.
As of May 2010 the company offered 5 blended roast and ground and whole bean
coffees included Heritage Blend, Traditional Blend, Gourmet Blend, Moka Blend, Culi
Supreme, and 4 espressos in ground and whole bean: Full City Roast, Arabica
Supreme, a water-process DeCaf espresso produced at their in-house water process
decaffeination facility, and Cinnamon Roast espresso. The espresso line also included
ESE-compatible 45mm espresso pods packaged in Malaysia. In December 2009 the
company introduced a Ready-To-Drink (RTD) "Iced Coffee" in an 8-ounce can, in two
versions, one labeled "with Milk" and the other labeled "Black". By May 2010 the
780
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
company stated that the RTD product had been distributed to more than 17 Asian
countries and the USA.
In 2011, Highlands Coffee purchased the pho chain Pho 24 from Ly Qui Trung for an
estimated 20 million USD. The next year, Highlands sold 50% of its shares to Jollibee
Worldwide for 25 million USD. In this affair, Jollibee said, they will add products of
Highlands Coffee in the other systems of the Jollibee restaurants in Asia, besides
continuing to develop this coffee chain in Vietnam. Because Vietnamese coffee has
gained worldwide recognition for top quality, it will help to be a significant added
value for Jollibee.
In March 2012, under a partnership with Philippine Internet café company Digital
Paradise, the first hybrid Highlands/Netopia internet café and coffee shop was opened
in the Philippines. Beside traditional coffee products, Highlands coffee researched and
developed new products such as GreeKe products in 2014 and Tea-Milktea products in
2015 (wikipedia, 2017), (Website, Highlands, 2014), (Lộc, n.d.).
2.3 Organizational structure
The overal organizational structure of the Highlands corporation is presented in the
figure below.
781

Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
products of Highlands Coffee in the other systems of the Jollibee restaurants in Asia.
This will be a significant added value for Jollibee, because Vietnamese coffee has
gained worldwide recognition for top quality. The evidence is that after buying
Highlands Coffee, Jollibee also add this coffee brand in its restaurant chain outside
Vietnam. Moreover, Highlands Coffee has taken big steps in the Philippines. After
opening a new shop at Eton Emerald Lofts in Ortigas, more Highlands Coffee shops
will soon be put into operation at Timog and Katipunan Avenues in Quezon City and
Pioneer Road, Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong (Nam, 2013).
The Superfoods Group, a joint venture between a subsidiary of the Jollibee Foods
Corporation (JFC), JSF Investments Pte Ltd, and the Viet Thai International Joint
Stock Company (VTI), plans to conduct an IPO and list on Vietnam’s stock exchange.
“We look forward to making Highlands Coffee and Pho 24 true national champion
brands of Vietnam,” Mr. Thai Phi Diep, CEO of Superfoods Group and Highlands
Coffee was quoted as saying (Doanh, 2016).

become key customers because this client groups know Starbuck before
this brand come to Viet Nam market. This client group includes
foreigners living and working in Vietnam, overseas student, and foreign
tourists who have used Starbucks coffee in foreign. This is not large
group but they have stable income to be easy will become a regular
customer at Starbucks (website s. , 2016).
o The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: Carry out the care of your customers in
any way through programs that link and support the image of Vietnam.
Typically, it is the cooperation with Vietnamese designers to change the
costumes for employees in the whole chain, change the menu, suitablefor
more pure Vietnamese, especially with more reasonable price (website T.
c., n.d.) .
2.5.2 Products and Customer segmentation
2.5.2.1 Product lines and their targeted customers
Not only focus on coffee, Highland coffee has diversified the menu, now there are
bread, pho, yogurt shake, ice blender, etc. Expanding international market is one of
strategy step and Highland coffee will keep going in that direction in the following
years.
There are 2 main types of coffee beans: Arabica and Robusta.
● Robusta is the type coffee bean which is planted in Vietnam because of the
features about terrain, weather and altitude.
● Arabica requires being planted in higher places and cooler (about 300->600 feet
above sea level). Arabica need longer time to get ripe, less in quantity but has
786
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
more flavor than Robusta. Therefore, Arabica’s price is twice the price of
Robusta.
Highland coffee has 2 main types coffee: international and traditional flavor. They are
combined by different formula.
● Espresso- Full City Roast;
● Espresso- cinnamon Roast;
● Espresso- Arabica Supreme;
● Espresso- Decaffeinated.
Coffee beans have been tested carefully, preserved in right way. Especially, the
packing process is observed closely, and the product packaging has function to keep
the fresh of coffee (Turkish Coffee Beans, n.d.)

The office staffs and the active young generation are the middle class for the target
customers Highlands coffee because drinking coffee here with the prestigious coffee
brand helps them confirm their status in the society. This is one of reason to help the
research and developing team that can find the appropriate locations for Highland.
Therefore, Highlands Coffee stores are usually located at center of city or famous
shopping malls, which are all crowded areas. When coming to Highlands stores in
luxury buildings such as Vincom, Parkson, customers may notice Highlands Coffee
with wooden floor separate from the surrounding area. The first impression is a luxury
space with two main colors: red and black. The red lanterns which are strongly
attached to Highlands Coffee store network create warmness and orient. In particular,
the indoor stores are also equipped with high tables with swivel chairs like bar, facing
the street, to serve those wishing to contemplate the streets. Besides, Highlands Coffee
brings Western values to their stores through the wooden tables and chairs, large
788
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
armchairs, all of them are extremely modern. Moreover, Highlands coffee always
focuses on creating the comfortable and exciting atmosphere for customers to enjoy
coffee every day. In addition, Highlands also targeting customer group are young
businesses and the foreigner living and working in Vietnam, who used to study and
live abroad so they are familiar with the style of European-American like drinking
coffee at a chic restaurant that impress the style of the place they used to live. After
time on work, this is an appropriate location with the quiet and less luxurious space to
discuss with their friends and enjoy coffee with pastry-the Western style, bring for
them an interesting relax time. With outdoor stores, Highlands Coffee put emphasis on
the big white umbrellas, which reminds of outdoor coffee shops in Italia or France.
They are still wooden and in consistent style with the indoor stores, bring for the
customer a strongly realize about Highland's design. The allocation of different areas
at Highlands Coffee is quite reasonable. The preparation counter is placed at store’s
center with target for customers can easily observe the preparation process, hygiene
etc. As for Highlands’ staff, it helps them to capture customer’s needs and serve
quickly. The preparation counter is equipped with modern coffeemakers, which makes
the area professional. There are also nearby shop windows full of various types of
cakes and other food. Visitors to the restaurant, in addition to the drinks and delicious
food, also receive value from the comfortable, luxurious and highclass space.
2.5.2.2 The value of products and services
The customers come to Highlands Coffee not only to have a drink but also to deal
with their clients, chat with friends, to think about life and to find a quiet space of their

beans are transported from Dac Lac, Lam Dong, and Buon Ma Thuot to the Highlands
coffee warehouse for storage and distribution to small businesses.
Operations - transformation of the raw materials into finished goods and services. The
beans after being imported from the HighLands will be processed through the
production line into coffee powder and grains and discarded for distribution to
domestic chains and partially packaged for export.
Outbound logistics - storing, distributing and delivering finished goods to customers.
Highlands coffee uses a multi-channel delivery method that uses two or more different
distribution systems in parallel to cover the market, targeting the best possible target
customers. Aside from distributing products (coffee powder and caffee bean) to
highlands coffee shops, highlands are also looking to third parties: retail chains such as
Vinmart, Coopmart, Lotte mart. Even more impressive, with the merger of the Jollibee
Group, the highlands have expanded their distribution network not only at home and
abroad.
Marketing and sales:Highlands marketing strategies utilize the edge with other
companies.
● Eye catching decoration:The Highlands coffee shop is decorated in a mixture of
Eastern culture traditional Vietnamese and Western culture to create a sense of
closeness bringing highland breath between the pace of modern cities.
● Merger: Merging with Jollibee has created a highlands attraction for local
media and customer attention.
● Purchasing Vietnamese raw materials: Highlands to the high value and the spirit
of writing using the Vietnamese coffee beans, that has hit the national interest of
the Vietnamese people.
● Service: Provides online ordering through App Deliverynow, a self-service
method that uses a service bell when ordering drinks or food in a restaurant.
● Secondary activities include the following activities such as firm
infrastructure, technology development, human resources development,
procurement.
Firm infrastructure:
791
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
● Finance:With the investment capital, the Highlands are clearly the largest in
the coffee chain. Financial capacity is a great advantage to help the
Highlands occupy beautiful sites and rapidly expand its chain stores.
● Location: The Highlands locations are highly homogenous, all in good
locations or at the foot of office buildings. This helps the customer to clearly
and uniquely identify the brand image of the Highlands.
Technology development : Highlands coffee uses self-service through high technology,
when employees complete the order, the bell will ring and customers will
automatically pick up.
Human resources development : Highlands coffee invests heavily in training
programs for both experienced and inexperienced staff to match the company's unique
work environment.
Procurement: obtaining raw materials, designing products, building manufacturing
facilities, developing co-operative agreements, providing customer service.
Highlands Business Value Chain Analysis offers the following benefits:
● It provides a generic framework to analyse both the behaviour of costs as well
as the existing and potential sources of differentiation.
● Activities that are not adding value can be identified and addressed – for
example, improved so they do add value or outsourced if this is not possible.
● It emphasises the importance of (re)grouping functions into activities to
produce, market, deliver and support products, to think about relationships
between activities and to link the value chain to the understanding of an
organisation's competitive position.
● It makes it clear that an organisation is multifaceted and that it’s underlying
activities need to be analysed to understand its overall competitive position.
● It is an attempt to overcome the limitations of portfolio planning in
multidivisional organisations. Rather than assuming that SBUs should act
independently, Porter used his Value Chain analysis to identify synergies or
shared activities between them and to provide a tool to focus on the whole
rather than on the parts.

each table to serve customers anymore. Guests arriving before will be served before,
later guests will be served after. This solution not only helps highland to reduce the
cost of hiring staff, but also improve the quality of the restaurant service to bring
satisfaction to customers that is considered the key to success of the highland coffee.
The difference in the way of decoration at the shop of Highlands also partly
contributed to the success of this brand. The decoration has conveyed the value of
traditional culture in Vietnam, as well as mixed modern European style in all the shops
of the Highlands coffee. It is a community of cohesion and friendliness. This increases
the brand's ability to brand identity of the Highlands coffee chain. Futhermore, brand
association for businessmen of the Highlands Coffee has been "popular", to serve more
customers. In addition, with the participation of Jollibee, the coffee chain Highlands
was change spectacular by the support of promoting products from Jollibee fast food
chain. By 2014, the Highlands only has 60 stores, as of March 31, 1977 the number
has reached 180, this is a clear demonstration of the success of this strategy (Trần,
Không phải Trung Nguyên hay Starbucks, Highlands mới đang là "bá chủ" chuỗi cà
phê ở Việt Nam, 2016).
Highlands coffee also has a flexible shipper service with app delivery now, if the
number of package is less, Highlands coffee will limit the ship service within 1km but
if ordered in large quantities will agree to expand the scope of shipment. Besides, one
of other success of Highland is combines with the international and traditional flavor
to bring satisfaction for many customers. Furthermorw, they use the main raw
materials which purchase from the coffee farms in Gia Lai Dac Lak, Buon Ma Thuot
and Lam Dong.
Regarding products, Highlands coffee launches regularly new product line, the most
recent time they have launched the Highland freeze with new flavor and it is well
received by customers. Thus, after more than 15- year development, Highlands have
amount of large loyal customers, who often choose Highlands are places to relaxing,
working, study. These strengths have promoted Highlands rank to belong the top 3
high-end coffee chains with the large market share in Vietnam. Other strengths of
Highlands is bargaining power that is the ability of Highlands to exert influence over

2.6.3 Opportunities
● Abundant foreign investment
Trading in Food & Beverage chains, especially coffee chains, has experienced a lot
of fluctuations. The development of this market has quickly attracted foreign capital
and domestic investors which offers exceptional opportunities for the industry. In fact,
in 2012, Viet Thai International (VTI) sold 49% of Vietnam's business division and
60% of its Hong Kong business division to Jollibee Group, for $ 25 million. In
addition, Highlands Coffee is also loaned $ 35 million by Jollibee. Expected amount
VTI will use to invest in the future. The deal has helped the coffee chain get more
capital to carry out aggressive expansion, especially in recent years (Thắng, 2011).
Jolibee Foods Corp. and their partner, Viet Thai International, are also planning to list
Superfoods, a unit that manages the Highlands coffee chain on the stock exchange of
Vietnam in 2019. This shows that F & B chain businesses have a lot of potential for
growth. When listed stocks are released to the public, businesses will also have a
stronger access to customers.
● Large and potential markets.
Drinking coffee has long been a habit of Vietnamese people. Most of the 18-30
year olds feel that frequent coffee breaks are a habit in their lifestyle. Catching up on
this trend, the Highlands has quickly developed a market for coffee related beverages.
Moreover, the per capita income of Vietnam is increasing. This means that the quality
of the river day is enhanced and people are ready to spend large sums of money to
enjoy good food and drinks. From there, opening up a potential market for Highlands
to develop and diversify its products to attract more customers.
● Opponents are slow, weak and bad.
Competition is a great opportunity for businesses to make a difference to the brand.
While the F & B industry in Vietnam is booming, many of the imported coffee brands
have made competition in the beverage industry increasingly severe. So many brands
of coffee have to accept to withdraw which are Espressamente Illy, Gloria Jean`s
Coffees, NYDC - New York Dessert Café, However, the fierce competition and the
805
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
withdrawal of some of these brands is the opportunity for highlands to affirm its
position and brand in the coffee market in Vietnam. (Lê, 2017)
2.6.4 Threat (Challenges) Challenges
● Growing competitor
These days, with the great potential of the beverage industry, there are for more and
more domestic and foreign coffee bands which are emerging in the Vietnamese market
that makes business in this area become one of the most intense competition. The
growing of other coffee brands is considered the biggest threat of Highlands coffee
because these brands will attract a large number of potential customers. It can be seen
from the current coffee market, the image of Starbucks (USA), Gloria Jean's Coffee
(Australia), Coffee Bean & Tea (USA), Illy (Italy), Dunkin 'Donuts (USA), or
domestic coffee chain such as Phuc Long, Cong coffee, Trung Nguyen has gradually
replaced a few brands in the country. Highlands Coffee selects the segment of office
workers and businessman to serve, positioning as a luxury coffee brand. However, the
image and the success of Starbucks in other markets is a big threat to Highlands Coffee
when it come into Vietnamese market because Starbuck is a well-know brands in US
and it is also the real competitor in the businessman and office worker segment which
Highlands Coffee is dominating. In Vietnam, although Starbuck is not really popular,
the young have almost heard of the big coffee chain of this world already.
The rapidly development of Cong coffee chain is an illustration for the growth of local
coffee chains. Cong coffee is constantly trying to bring the old spiritual experience
through the unique space, items or corner reflect the subsidy period. It attracts a
number of customers who come here for this style of specific space which is not found
in Highlands coffee. Besides, the growth of Phuc Long coffee chain - a pure
Vietnamese brand is also a challenge of highlands because many customer choose to
come to Phuc Long coffee instead of luxurious brands such as Starbuck, Highlands
(Thọ, 2017).
● Growing entrants
In addition to its long-established and well-known competitor, the Highlands quickly
became competitive by a number of new cafes and restaurants which opened up in a
806
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
similar model. Many young customers with money have more choices when these
startup companies in this industry appear more and more. Some examples for these
new brands are: KAT Coffee, The coffee house, Linh coffee, ... That these new coffee
brands have innovated in style as well as products attract many customers brings a
dareay for Highlands.
● Brand loyalty
The threat to highlands is also the loyalty of the brands of some segments of customers
when they only choose coffee brand which they ussually come to to enjoy because
they are familiar with space as well as products, service here as a habit. It is not
intended to try new products of another cafe brands. For instance, domestic coffee
such as Trung Nguyen is a well-know brands in mind of Vietnamese people for long
period of time.
● Competitive price
Highland coffee brand has competition on price. That a growing number of emerging
coffee brands have decreased their prices to lower prices to attract more customers is
concern for Highlands because of its price which is assessed rather high in some
oppinions.
Table 2-2 The comparisons between the price of KAT coffee and Highlands coffee:
KAT coffee Highlands coffee
Black Coffee VND 20,000 Black coffee VND 59,000
807
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
revenue of Highlands as the price of its products are fixed but input prices soared
which causes the ability that the business will benefit less and even the risk of loss.
● Increasing cost of rent
Highlands coffee aim at office workers and businessmen, so most Highlands cafes are
located in big commercial centers and city centers. Choosing the key locations,
Highlands Coffee pays a high rent for a shop from VND 100 to 200 million per month
on Trang Tien Street in the central part of Hanoi. With the current fierce market
competition, that the demand for space rents has increased leads to a rapidly raise in
the cost of renting space which is an intimidation to the revenue of this coffee
brand.Analysts question whether high-end coffee chains can make profits when paying
high rent for retail premises. (Chi, 2017)
● High rate of staff turnover
The highlands challenge is that almost all highlands employees are part-time workers
in their school years and do not intend to be attached to the job. The high rate of staff
turnover is a big challenge to the goal of enhancing the customer service of many
companies because this affects the cost of losses, the cost of staff training
continuously. In particular, Highlands use the form of technology in its service, so it
takes more time to tranning.
● Human resource managing in variety of locations
Highlands is a nationwide chain of coffee, so it faces the challenge of managing people
in a variety of locations and stricter management controls when the staff changes
constantly.
● Alternative challenge
In addition to the increasing number of domestic coffee chains and foreign chains
imported in Vietnam, milk tea brands are increasingly appearing on the market at a
rapid growth followed by the trend of milk tea increase rapidly. There are many
options for drinking milk tea. Many milk tea brands are conveniently located, beautiful
space, good service are attractive to young people. Types of tea imported from Japan,
Taiwan, South Korea with many strange and delicious taste such as Dingtea, Gongcha,
Xingcha Blackball, Mr. Goodtea, Royal tea, Tocotoco, Feeling tea, Bobapop .... This is
808
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
also an alternative challenge for Highlands coffee as the rise of milk tea brands in
domestic market has attracted the young customers segment of the Highlands.

CHAPTER 3
LITERATURE REVIEWS
3.1 Risk Management concept and definition
It is considered that corporate risk has a significant effect on project and business
performance. Recently, existence of risk is essential in every aspect of business,
identification and understanding of corporate risk. Its influence also play an important
role in developing strategic management (Chapman C and Ward S , 1997). “That
better understand the nature of the risks and can manage them more effectively cannot
only avoid unforeseen disasters but can work with tighter margins and less
contingency, freeing resources for other endeavors , and seizing opportunities for
advantageous investment that might otherwise be rejected as ‘too risky’” (Chapman &
Ward, Project Risk Management: Processes, Techniques and Insight, 1997).
What is the definition of risk? Oxford dictionary define the word “ risk” as: “The
possibility of something bad happening at some time in the future; a situation that
could be dangerous or have a bad result (Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, n.d.) This
definition is also based on the publication of the US Project Management Institute
(PMI) and the UK Association for Project Management (APM). Their definitions are
similar:“Risk - an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or
negative effect on a project objective”- (Project Management Institute, 2000, p. 127).
“Risk— an uncertain event or set of circumstances that, should it occur, will have an
effect on the achievement of the project’s objectives” - (The Association for Project
Management, 1997, p. 16).
In current years, complicated evolution of business environment has strengthened the
function of risk management on progressive- thinking companies. Risk management is
a key position of business management strategy in making profit and surviving in
marketplace. (Merna & AL-Thani, Corporate Risk Management, p. 1) An efficient is
one of the main elements in success of strategic management.
There are various definitions of the word “corporate risk management” by numerous
researchers and writers. The establishment of corporate risk management in
management strategy is to answer the the following matter: what is the risk, who is
810
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
involved in risk, any available control for those risks any whether these control operate
properly. If there is none of effective controls, there is requirement of actions to reduce
the risk to a reasonable and acceptable level. (Tupa, Simota, & Steiner, 2017, p. 1225)
Generally speaking, risk management is a formal process of identifying, analyzing and
responding to the influence of risk in appropriate way (Merna & AL-Thani, Corporate
Risk Management, p. 2).
A brief view of the phrase “risk management” in “Fundamental of risk and insurance”
(tenth edition):
“Risk management is a scientific approach to dealing with risks by anticipating
possible losses and designing and implementing procedures that minimize the
occurrence of loss or the financial impact of the losses that do occur.” - (M.Vaughan,
1807, p. 16).
Although there are many ways of defying risk management, they all focused on 2
points: the first is that risk management is relevant to risks, and the second is that the
management’s process and management is for evaluating and managing the risks faced
by the enterprise.
811
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
eliminate hazards in business. With the expectation to perform the best risk
managements, many risk management tools are needed.
Tools are described by many different researchers. Tools is illustrated by French
Saward (1983) as an instrument which are known as both manual and mechanical used
to achieve its intention of controlling and managing risk. Also, tools and techniques
have close relationships of each other as states by ( (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate
Risk Management (Second-Edition), 2008, p. 67)): “the methodology which employs
numerous techniques to achieve its aim” that RMT employs decision tree technique is
typical example . On the basis of this point, tools that organizations use to manage risk
consist 2 main categories: qualitative and quantitative techniques.
Qualitative method is definitely appropriated and used to compare undesirable risk
facing a project from the impacts of them happens on the project outcome. Qualitative
technique is highly recommended in the process of risk analysis and assessment which
based on experience, descriptions and scales. (Thompson & Perry, 1992, p. 68) .
According to (Merna & Al-Thani, 2008, p. 69), qualitative includes: brain storming,
assumption analysis, Delphi , interview, hazard and operability studies (HAZOP),
checklists, prompt lists, risk register, risk mapping, probability-impact tables, risk
matrix chart, project risk management road mapping.
However, quantitative techniques are considered when the capability of the investment
and project obtaining its aims within time and budget is needed for budget
authorization or presentation of the project’s status to the highest of managers (board
of directors) (Merna & Al-Thani, 2008, p. 76) -. This analysis method based on
mathematical formulas and consists 5 main methods: decision tree, controlled interval
and memory technique, Monte Carlo simulation, sensitive analysis, and probability-
impact Grid analysis.
Moreover, some other RMT are also used in some particular cases. These methods
include: soft system methodologies (SM), utility theory, risk attitude and utility theory
(risk neutral, risk seeking, risk averse), nominal group technique, stress testing and
determining analysis, tornado diagrams.
812
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
In research of (science direct), the key in RMs are the decisions on what tools should
be apply suitably and effectively. In this research, researcher also point out the most
common tools are used within today complex economy, they are: brainstorming,
Delphi method, sensitive method, risk matrix, Net work scheduling (PERT, CCM,
CPM), decision tree, artificial neutral network, modeling and computer simulations.
Some most common tools are discussed later on the basis of research of (Merna & Al-
Thani, 2008, pp. 69-84).
In recent decades, brainstormings are used widely and spread for all types of business
and applied by everyone who has issues with desire to be solved. (Chapman, 1998, p.
337) Chapman indicated that brainstorming process consists set of actions: redefining
the issues, listing ideas, so as to find the potential solutions, selecting solutions that
really needed for this problems and conducting them effectively. The basis rules of this
method includes:
● Requirements of time restrictions.
● A comprehensive declaration of the matters.
● A methods of generating ideas.
● Visible space of storing ideas and let them incubate.
● Implementation of the principle that no bad ideas exist.
● Suspension of assessment.
● Inspiration of participants to think and drift around the problems.
● Quantity is considered rather than quality.
● Cross-fertilization by obtaining the team ideas and expanding and developing
them.
Brainstorming typically consists 12 people in one team and the length for idea
generating is from 15 to 45 minutes or can last all day (Sunday Times, 2001).
Second, Delphi method has features of predicting problems in the future that helps
managers make a forecast so as to prevent and eliminate any unnecessary view to
make right decisions. Delphi technique includes following process as identified by
(Merna, 2002):
● The standpoints of the risk impacts related to a project or investment is really
necessary from respondents.
● Then, the chairpersons who have responsibilities to check and compare the
information and declare brief of the findings to the respondents.

● Finally, a set of steps mentioned above can be done again until either consensus
is reached or no benefit can be found from more reiterating.
Third, risk matrix chart is one of the most useful method which implemented in risk

In the fluctuation and competition of business, management are regularly confronting
with multiple choices. In general, management face with the options for only one and
this create opportunity costs. To select the most effective option, decision tree methods
developed and used widely. Decision tree is depicted by (PMBOK, 1996) PMBOK
(1996) as diagrams with branches that show the interaction between decisions and
interrelated chance events. This method describes a decision result and expected
outcome under each possible set of circumstances. If the probability and value of
potential outcomes are given that using this method to calculate with the objective of
creating expected value of each choice. The managers will base on the differences of
expected value to make right decisions. The form of decision tree method is depicted
by square note and linked by branches, this method is explained clearly through
example as follow:

3.3 Factors affecting the success of RM
For the development and successful enterprise, it should be a strict control system
between the many parts of the enterprise. Successful implementation of risk
management will help the whole system operate smoothly, strictly controlled. And
here are the factors that create the success of the risk management system in the
enterprise.
3.3.1 Control system and risk management:
The performance of RM depends on (i) probability of occurrence, (ii) severity of
impact, (iii) susceptibility to change and degree of interdependency with other factors
of risks.
This model can be used to describe risk situations or events in the modelling of any
investments for risk analysis. The use of a risk model helps reduce reliance upon raw
816

judgement and intuition. The inputs to the model are provided by humans, but the
brain is given a system on which to operate:
817
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
human contribution to project success, or failure, encompasses the actions of all those
involved in the planning, design and implementation of a project.
Obviously there is potential for human failure at each stage of the project life cycle.
Managing the risks associated with human failure remains a challenge for successful
project management.
Identification of the people or groups who influence an investment or project process
or its outcome is crucial. It begins the process of eliciting information about the
potential contribution to the business risks during and beyond the investment’s life
cycle and is the first step in dealing with human factors in risk management.
3.3.2 Culture factor
The culture of the country will affect the personality, habits or behavior of the people
of that country. The grasp as well as understand the culture of a nation in general and
the culture of the society or business in particular will deeply affect the habits of
customer, nature of personality of the people from which the company. From that, the
company will control the employees in the business to fit the culture as well as
understand the habits of customers to develop appropriate strategies in the
development of products or services of the business.
In studies, we have carried out a more in-depth study of the socio- cultural factors of a
country, including the type of economy, ideology (capitalist, social democratic,
democratic or communist), demographic pattern, level of education, social
norms/values/beliefs, social mobility and structure and culture.
3.3.3 Internal control system
Suggests that a company’s chance of success depends heavily on the quality of the
board, senior management and the company’s competitive position. The authors agree
with the above, but also cite the general state of the economy, such as the rate of
interest, inflation and exchange rate, and external environmental factors, such as those
concerned with politics, economics, society and technology, as critical factors in
determining the success of a corporation (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk
Management (Second-Edition), 2008, p. 188).
818
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
Factors controlled by directors include the board, the chairman and the CEO, board
balance, supply of information, appointments to the board and re-election (Merna, F, &
Al-Thani, Corporate Risk Management (Second-Edition), 2008, p. 192).
▪ Causal factors (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk Management (Second-
Edition), 2008, p. 262)
▪ Emotional pressure
▪ Feeling tired or unwell
▪ Use of faulty informal/unapproved procedures faulty job and system designs
An organisation’s competitive business strategy is the distinctive approach taken at
business level when positioning itself to make the best use of its capabilities and stand
out from competitors. From the work of Michael Porter (1970–2002), the authors have
developed four key elements that determine the limits of competitive strategy at
business level. These are divided into internal and external factors (Merna, F, & Al-
Thani, Corporate Risk Management (Second-Edition), 2008, p. 224) .
Internal factors include the organisation’s strengths and weaknesses, and the values of
key implementers at the strategic business level. External factors include business
opportunities, threats and technology advances, and expectations of the business
environment within which the organisation operates.
Targets for each major activity will also be required. For example, for the marketing
sec- tor the objective should clearly indicate for each product or service target
sales/volumes and the corresponding sales/price to be achieved over the plan period;
and a study of the environmental factors such as marketing trends, political
developments, technology and general economic factors which are likely to affect the
business (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk Management (Second-Edition), 2008,
p. 225).
3.3.4 Environmental management systems
A critical factor in this is the synergy required between business operations and
associated information systems and. A further key factor is understanding and dealing
with the legislative, environmental, technological and other changes that impact on an
organisation’s business (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk Management (Second-
Edition), 2008, p. 254) The greatest change comes at project level. The project strategy
819
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
plans focuses on how all the macro-environmental factors and the micro-effect project
success will be managed in order to meet the goals set by the business unit strategy.
Issues of risk that relate to people are often reclassified as management of ‘human
resources’ and so are ignored as risk factors; consequently, a large element of risk
assessment is excluded from project risk management. The nature of the uncertainty
which people contribute to the project can be divided into two principal areas: human
resource management issues, concerned with effective management competencies and
practices, and the perspectives of stakeholders concerning the project and its attendant
risks (Oldfield and Ocock 1999), (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk Management
(Second-Edition), 2008, p. 261)Many of the risks identified at the corporate level are
global or uncontrollable risks, often associated with political, legislative, regulatory,
economic and environment factors. If any of these risks are considered too great, then
a project may not be sanctioned for further risk assessment at strategic business or
project levels.
820

the impacts that disturbances in the production system will have on overall
performance or other indicators.
KPI also to measure the managerial capabilities of object, the KPIs that are most
commonly used by general contractors for measuring the performances of object
should first be identified. The identified indicators were categorized into three main
groups:
● KPIs Affecting General Performance
● KPIs Affecting Experience and Past Relations
● KPIs Affecting Communication Skills.
After identifying and categorizing the KPIs, expert opinions were asked to
management a practical framework with most commonly preferred KPIs.
These KPIs are selected and adapted to the project requirements in such a manner to
reflect clearly the economic, environmental and operational performance of the
processes, thus enabling a direct comparison between the conventionaland the
corresponding proccesses.
3.5 Steps in Risk Management
Now, let’s take a look at the processes by which risk management is undertake
The process of risk management includes (Merna, F, & Al-Thani, Corporate Risk
Management (Second-Edition), 2008).
● Identification of risk/uncertainties
● Analysis of implications
● Response to minimize risk
● Allocation of appropriate contingencies
In many decades, risk analysis and risk management have been researched in many
areas and are being popular used as integral parts of the overall business management
approach and in mostly part of projects; in many cases, they have become an essential
compulsory for financial planning and regulatory approval. Moreover, the clients now
ask for contractors to show potential risks in an investment and to illustrate how
effectively these risks would be controlled should they occur.
To overcome this a number of companies and research authorities have identified ways
to make the risk management process description. Especially, there are a number of
phrases related to this process. Merna (2002) took three processes, namely risk
821
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
identification, analysis and response, and implemente a 15- step sequence to account
for risk management, Boswick’s 1987 paper (PMBOK 1996), Eloff et al showed four
processees. The Bristish Standard BS 8444(BSI, 1996). The Project Management
Institude’(PMIs) Guide to the project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK
1996) also illustrates four processes along with project risk management.
In order to outline the risk management process, the PMBOK (1996) system have been
used to give a brief description of the nesessary process, namely
● Risk identification
● Risk qualification and analysis
● Risk response
Now, the main processes engaged in project risk management will be discussed below:
3.5.1 Risk identification
Risk identification measuring which risks properly affect the project and documenting
the characteristics of each one. Both the internal and the external risks will be solved
by risk identification. The primery sources of risk that have the potential to result in a
major effect on the project should also be determined and devided according to their
influence on project cost, time schedules and project objectives. Both historical and
current information are used in the early stage of project appraisal and should happen
before detailed analysis and allocation of risks can take place.
It is also important for risk analysis to be conducted on a regular basis during all stages
of the project. Risk identification should be investigated in a similar aspect at both
corporate and strategic business levels.
Elements of the risk identification process included inputs and outputs. To know what
the risk identification process requires, consideration should be given to its input
requirements and the outputs. Risk identification embraces determination of types of
risk affecting the project and documenting the characteristic of each one. Risk
identification inputs are given as:
● Product or service description
● Other planning outputs, for example work breakdown structure, cost and time
estimate, specification requirements
● Historical information
Outputs are:
822
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
● Sources of risk
● Potential risk event
● Risk symptoms
● Input to other processes
After identification:
● Risk should be validated
● There is a consideration of the risk response options
Risk identification is used for:
● To show and capture the most significant participants in risk management and
to give the subsequent management basis.
● To stablise the groundwork by providing all the essential information to analyse
risk
● To identify the project or service components
● To identify the inherent risks in the project or service.
The risk identification process depends on information, which can or can not be
readily available. This may be in the form of historical data process, often risk
registers of previous projects and operations or information from external sources. The
better the informational foundation of the risk management process, the more precise
its results. Thus, the required information, and the way its collected, and when it is
needed is central to risk identification. This include:
● Collecting available information about the project including its scope,
objectives and strategy
● Covering the gaps in the existing information to reach a clear, unambigous,
shared understanding of the project.
3.5.2 Risk quantification and analysis
Risk quantification and analysis include risk evaluation and risk interactions to assess
the range of possible outcomes. There is a number of available tools and techniques for
the use of risk analysis/quantification and the analysis process. The major output from
risk quantification and analysis is a list of opportunites that should be achieved and
threats that ask for attention. The risk quantification and analysis process should also
document the sources of risk and risk events that the management team has
consciously decided to accept or ignore, as well as the individual who decide to do so.
( Dawson et al. (1995) illustrate that risk management makes up an important part of
823
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
risk analysis. The purpose of risk management is to estimate the balance which exists
between risk and opportunities to assist management resposes to embrace
opportunities and advoid risks. These risks and opportunities could appear different
when be in side of company perspective as opposed to the more usual ‘project’
perspective. Moreover, the identification of risks and opportunities for a project should
be rely on the objectives for starting the venture, and for a company should be rely on
the objectives of company. The two set of objective are not the same but linked; the
objectives of a company might involve, in the short term, whilst the risks to project
linking this to happen might be seen to influence the profitability of the project and the
esteem in which the management is owned. Therefore, to conducting risk management
the objectives must be clearly defined at each organisation level.
There are certain two types of approach used in the risk quantification and analysis
process. These are quanlitative risk ananlysis and quantitative risk analysis.
Quanlitative risk analysis includes a list of risks, and their outcomes description.
Quanlitative risk analysis has evaluations that do not cause a numerical value. Instead,
this analysis pictures the nature of the risk and helps to enhance the awareness of risk.
In this way, analysts can focus their time and efforts on fields that are most sensitive to
the risk.
Quantitative risk analysis often includes the use of computer models exlpoiting
stastical data to conduct risk analysis.
3.5.3 Risk responses
Risk response involves defining enhancement steps for opportunities. Responses to
threates generally fall into one of the following categories.
3.5.3.1 Risk avoidance
Risk avoidance involves the removal of a particular threat by eliminating the source of
the risk within a project or by avoiding projects or business entities which have
exposure to the risk.
By the example of a contractor wishing to avoid the potential liability losses associated
with asbestos, and so never acquiring any project that involves operation with this
material, Al-Bahar and Crandell (1990) illustrate the latter avoidance option .On the
824
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
same way, but this time considered from the client’s perspective, also lends itself as an
example of elimination a source of risk within a project if the risk is avoided by
redesigning the facility so that it uses an alternative material to asbestos.
3.5.3.2 Risk reduction
If it does occur, risk reduction may involve either lowering its probability or lessening
its impact (or both) because the significance of a risk is related to both its probability
of occurrence and its effect on the project outcome.
3.5.3.3 Risk transfer
Since a typical project or business involves numerous stakeholders, it follows that each
should ‘own’ a proportion of risk available in order to elicit a return. Therefor, projects
may be seen as investment packages with associated risks and returns.For instance, if a
project involves the construction of a facility, some risks associated with that
construction should be transferred from the client organisation to the contractor
undertaking the work. In consideration of this risk, the contractor will expect a reward.
Contractual risk allocation will not be dealt with in detail here but the fundamental
consideration are the same for all risk transfers regardkess of the vehicle by which
transfers are facilitated.
The example of the time frame in a construction contract, the best position to manage
this risk is the contractor because they have a greatest control over the completion
date. The way to mitigate any such loss in revenue of the client ,if construction
overruns this date when the facility is not built by a certain date ,the contractor
compensates the client for the loss.The contractor will consider this risk in its tender
and can expect that the contract price will be higher than it would be in the absence of
the clause,that is ,the transferee imposes a premium on accepting the risk. However, if
the revenue loss is likely to be too great for the contractor to compensate for, there is
little sense in transferring the risk in this way.
Insurance is a popular technique for risk transfer in which only the potential financial
consequences of a risk are transferred and not the responsibility for managing the risk.
Financial markets provide numerous instruments for risk transfer in the form of
‘hedging’. This is best illustrated by way of example, the fluctuation in the price of an
825
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
input may be ‘hedged’ through the purchase of futures options so that in the event of a
future price rise, the options soften the effect.
3.5.3.4 Risk retention
Risks may be retained intentionally or unintentionally. The latter occurs as a result of
failure in the risk management process, these being risk identification and risk
analysis. If a risk is not identified or if its potention consequences are underestimated,
then the organisation is unlikely to avoid or reduce it adequately.
As suggested above, a relationship between risk and return exists such that, with no
risk exposure, an enterprise cannot expect reward. Ideally, retained risk should be that
with which the organisation’s core value-adding activities. Finnaly, risk reduction may
only be cost effective up to a point, thereafter becoming more costly than beneficial.

particularly the steps taken to deal with an enterprise's risk.

The bar chart below illustrates the compensation policy valuation in two perspectives,
namely salary and wage, bonus and reward, coming from Highlands coffee staffs.
Overall, most staffs in Highlands coffee assess a average or good level of both salary
and wage, and bonus and rewards. Moreover, no one gives one out of five for this two
assessment areas. Besides, the bonus and rewards in Highlands seem quite attractive to
staffs here as they are at good level.
832
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
Thebar chart below shows the relationship between staffs and managers, and colleague
relationship. Overall, the relationships are good in the eyes of most staffs. No one
gives one out of five points for workplace environment, which mean that there is no
dissatisfaction among staffs as well as staffs and their manager. Besides, 22% of staffs
agreed on an excellent their relationship with colleagues and managers.

are from 10% to 30%, 30% to 50% and 70% to 90% are similar and accounted for
subtatial low percentage at just 17%. In conclusion, there is a tendancy to keep staff

Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
As can be seen from the chart below that the management evaluation of the
Highlands management position training programs is mostly rated at level 4 and 5
which are well-regarded groups. As far as training quality is concerned, both level 4
and level 5 represent a percentage of 50% of the total score. However, the training
scale has a significant difference, level 5 was rated at 67% and it was half higher
than level 4 which accounted for slighly over 30%. That means that the training
scale in the Highlands is relatively professional. Similar to the previous two
dimensions, in terms of training volume, the percentage was at the highest level is
level 4 with approximately 70%, and also 34% higher than the rating at level 5
(33%). There is a common point in these three aspects that there is no assessment
that the highlands management training program is rated at from level 1 to level 3.
In conclusion, the evaluation of the management of the training programs is
extremely good and strict in terms of quality, size and volume.

level 1 to level 3. Likewise, the bonus based on revenue made up for the highest
percentage at level 4, namely 67% and it is significantly higher than level 3 and level
5. Both level 3 and 5 are at 17%. In contrast, highlands insurance rates are rated at
level 5- extremely satisfied level - with a rate of 67%. Percentages rated at levels 3 and
4 also have similarities, both at 17%. It can be seen that most managers are rather
satisfied with the remuneration of Highlands without any dissatisfactions.
The chart shows below that the quality of service of Highlands in rush hours, material
preparation and material preparation against demand are all assessed highest at level 4.
In deed, material preparation accounts for by far the greatest percentage with more
than 80% and it is followed by quality of sevice in rush hours and material preparation
against demand respectively as aproximately 70% and 50%. Also, 17% of assessment
of material preparation against demand at level 5. There is no evaluation of these three
aspects at bad level from level 1 to level 2. In conclusion, Highlands are really good at
material preparation as well as assuring sevice quality.

4.4 Findings
After surveying at 10 points of Highlands Coffee in Hanoi and applying for 3
objectives: management, staffs, customers we could bring some the following
judgments:
4.4.1 Assessment of customers
According to the Figure 4-1 (page 70), Highlands coffee product development team
has performed well in that about 4 out of 5 customers contend that the products of
Highlands is diversified as expected. Highlands has succeeded in creating the diversity
in its products, which are the combination of Vietnamese style coffee products with the
international flavor products, that are suitable for each group of customers. However,
there are still approximately 1/5 of customers commented that the products of
Highlands are well under-diversified. Most of them are casual female customers. They
stated that they are not attracted to the product menu which is almost exclusively
focused on coffee products. That means Highlands coffee have to reinvestigate the
demands of those customers to understand their actual requirements so that Highlands
coffee can create products in match with.
According to the Figure 4-2 (page 70), the space of enjoyment (decoration, facilities,
material) of Highlands coffee was highly rated with 64% of respondents being
relatively satisfied with spacious, airy spaces and combination of indoor and outdoor
designs. Besides, there are some neutral opinions, which accounts for 21%, assumed
that the theme of Highlands is not so impressed but they do not underestimate the
quality of the enjoyment spaces. Their assessments about the satisfaction level of
Highland space are at medium and Highlands is not their first choice. On the other
hands, there are a small number of customers (12%) who underestimate the space of
enjoyment in Highlands coffee. Most of them are young people who are not impressed
by Highland space’s style. There are some other opinions indicated that Highlands has
no breakthrough in its style despite the fact that it has developed in Vietnam for a long
period of time.
According to the Figure 4-3 (page 71), the quality of material of Highlands products
were assessed at great level. The coffee beans are purchased from the farmers' farms in
840
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Buon Ma Thuot and Lam Dong helps Highlands to provide
customers with high quality coffee products. Besides, the material of products, such as
bread, peach tea and cake ...are also purchased from reputable suppliers such as Metro.
This is also reflected in the customer's assessment with 60% of good level about
Highland products’ quality. In addition, there are still 16% of customers are not really
satisfied with the quality of HL products; however, this made up only small proportion.
For quality service, more than half of customers (60%) surveyed highly appreciates the
service with the professionalism of well-trained staffs.Between the ages of 18 and 25
surveyed, most of them prefer getting their drinks to being served because they can be
more proactive and they want to have privacy space without botheration of employees.
There are still 12% underestimate the quality of service and this belongs to the
customer groups over the age of 30. They often do not prefer getting their drink
themselves because of the habit of being served of most Vietnamese people. In
general, the quality of products and services has consistency and is highly appreciated
by the majority of customers.
According to the Figure 4-4 (page 72), the percentage of customers who assessed
service quality at great level and that of customers not satisfied with service quality in
rush hour are both equal and it means that the rush-hour service quality is very
location-dependent. For example, for Hoang Dao Thuy Highlands coffee is at very
crowned area, intensity of customer coming is very high, thus staffs may often get
overloaded that leads to slow service quality or crowded space which cause annoyance
for customers. On the other hands, with Highlands coffee. Because the density of
population is less, the number of guests at peak time is not overloaded; therefore,
service quality is still stable.
According to the Figure 4-5 (page 72), promotion programs are not highly rated with
the highest percentage of approximately 40% at level 2-dissatisfaction level. The
reason for this dissatisfation is that customers often are not referred to promotion
programs when purchased Highlands products, and they even have to ask employee
for discount vouchers or special offers. The other reason is that promotion programs
are also not diversified with low frequency, it can be explained that Highlands has
841
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
already very good sales, thus promotion is not necessary and sales growth is because
of good place/location/theme rather than because of promoting activities.
According to the Figure 4-6 (page 73) most of customers (about 4 out of 5) claimed
that the Highlands has better comparative advantages on Price and Service quality. It
means that price and quality of service are adequate and customers are satisfied with
the value Highlands bring to them and worthy of the money they spent. There are only
1 for every 5 customers contended that Highlands has lower competitive price or
service quality in comparison to its competitors. For the same products and service
quality, many customers at the group of over the age of 30 often care more about the
value of money they spend. When using Highlands products, they assume that the
quality of service Highlands is more expensive than many other brands of the same
type.
4.4.2 Assessment of staff
After conducting the survey, we have some conclusions as follows:
The work environment in Highland has made the staff feel satisfied and the evidence is
that the relationship between employees and management is assessed mostly at great
level Figure 4-8 (p.70). When asked, the employees said that most of the staffs in the
Highlands were students who were active and it was the reason they felt comfortable
when they worked there. In addition, most of the managers was from employee
position so they can also understand and listen to the opinions of their subordinates
more carefully. In other aspect, the highlands rotation of employees between work
locations (once a year) has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that
employees will be work in a new environment, with new people and different
managers and learn how to manage as well as experience from management policies.
In contrary, the rotation of work place also makes it difficult for employees to travel.
Also, changing the work environment also challenges the staffs and management to
adapt quickly to keep the system running smoothly. In summary, in our opinion that
employee training and professional training programs of Highlands have helped them
succeed in creating the ideal working environment for employees in this competitive
beverage industry. David Thai, the founder of Highland coffee, shared the company's
842
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
corporate philanthropy policy: “We do not need to hire highly experienced people. We
do not need to recruit people who have to be trained. We recruit people who love
work, love coffee, show passion for coffee. The skill training is a part of the work”
Moreover, the remuneration policies for staff were assessed relatively favorable. This
is due to the fact that when the staff serve guests heartily, Highlands will attract more
customers and then raise its revenue so that having better remuneration policies. When
interviewing the average staff for remuneration compensation, there are 2 main
problems. Firstly, for full-time employees, their salaries are not enough for their daily
expenses. Secondly, two part-time employees interviewed at Highlands Coffee Van
Phuc - Ha Dong said that since their location is lack of customers, management had
reduced staff in shift work, which made them had to do all the rest, and they felt their
salary was not worth for their effort. From this we can see that the business situation in
highlands facilities is not uniform because of the wrong location and analysis of
customer habits.
Finally, training programs of Highlands are well evaluated in different aspects. For
instance, new employees will have three days of theory at the company office and then
will be divided into real locations for both learning and practice under the guidance of
management. In addition to basic training courses, staff also has workshops, team
building to learn more from other stores as well as contests for employees such as
Master Barista Championship. This is because Highlands are not strict in recruitment
process, there are many young people who are studious and full of enthusiasm working
in this environment. Besides, training programs of Highlands are highly valuable
which have made staff satisfy. However, it also exits negative sides. Although it
creates a dynamic and comfortable environment for employees, it creates a huge
change in the human resources of the Highlands as young workers are more likely to
get bored. That is the reason why Highlands take time to work on training employee
despite of good remuneration policies. Evidence is that most Highlands employees
work in the facility for 3-6 months Table 4-5 (p.71).
4.4.3 Assessments of managers
● Professional training programs.
● Good remunerations policies (salary, bonus, insurance).
843
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
844
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
payroll, a pay rise on a regular basis, a pay rise at the managerial level, and a bonus
that matches their efforts of boosting revenue. Besides, the insurance policy for
employees is relatively pleasant. Figure 4-11 (p.75) lists three mains remunerations in
Highlands and these three aspects are majority ratings at level 4 and level 5. That is
increasing responsible wages and bonus based on revenue, insurance policies and other
treatments is undisputed success strategies. It is a cycle of stimulating the productivity
of the whole employees in different positions of Highland coffee. The purpose of
raising salaries relative to responsibility or providing amount of money over revenue is
to raise awareness of effective working for manager. Indeed, working efficiently is the
basis for stimulating sales, driving sales beyond targets and as revenue is boosted, it
will simultaneously increase the financial budget to support for employees. Therefore,
compensation, insurance and other benefits will be promoted higher. In summary,
more remuneration policies will make employees work better and more effectively in
raising revenue, and the higher revenue, the higher remunerations.
Third, in terms of operating process, the rush hours of Highlands are three intervals of
from 9 am to 12 am, 12 am to 3 pm, and 7 pm to 10 pm, in that from 7p.m to 10 pm is
considered highest Figure 4-6 (p.72). In rush hours, human resources and raw material
of drinks and foods are often available for use, only insignificant percentage of about
15% to 20% of the labor shortages in shifts and material preparation. The figure 1-8
illustrates that material preparation, against demand, and the operation of Highlands in
rush hours was assessed mostly at good levels. On the balance of human resources,
management will have the task of dividing all employees into shifts made during the
day and transferring shifts into peak hours to meet the urgent need. In addition, each
Highland store has a separate inventory, and raw materials are processed after each
shift to avoid material shortages in the next shift. If there is a shortage of raw
materials, the store will borrow temporary material in the nearest Highlands stores to
solve the problem immediately. Circulation and borrowing of raw materials is a great
idea in handling with the temporary shortage of materials problems in the Highlands,
which few other coffee chains use by synchronizing the entire supplies of materials of
food and drinks for all stores of Highlands coffee chains, not individual stores. This
845
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
846
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
our opinion, if Highland can maintain and continually improve their strengths, they
will be able to reduce the risk of employees dropping out or managing problems.
4.5 Findings from other secondary sources
4.5.1 Market share
Coffee has become a multi-style drinks and can be flexibly modified to suit each
culture and each object. That is the reason why enjoying coffee in daily life has formed
a cultural feature throughout the world.
In Vietnam, Highlands Coffee has made great efforts in asserting its position in
competitive market. Starting with the packaged coffee product in Hanoi in 2000,
Highlands has rapidly grown and expanded into a well-known coffee brand and has
been expanding both domestically and internationally since 2002. In 2002, the first
coffee shop was opened in Ho Chi Minh City, and a week later the first coffee shop in
Hanoi. In years later, Highlands Coffee continued to grow and becoming a prominent
coffee system throughout Vietnam.
In 2006, Highlands Coffee reached 25 coffee shops, this is also the time to mark the
change of Highlands Coffee both in terms of brand identity and its space. In 2011, Viet
Thai International, the owner of Highlands Coffee, sold 49% of its Vietnamese
business and 60% of its Hong Kong business to the Jollibee Group from the
Philippines for 25 million USD and the deal has helped the coffee chain get more
capital to carry out aggressive expansion, especially in recent years. In 2011, the
Highlands only 50 stores but this number has reached 75 shops in 2015. At the end of
March in 2017, Highlands has total 180 coffee shops which mostly in big province in
Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh city, Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Da Nang with 164 coffee
shops and 16 shops in Philipines.
The market shares of Highlands as follow:
847
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
Figure 4-14 comparative buzz volume and sov of premium coffee chain
From this diagram in 2015 Highlands coffee has the highest percentage of market
share with 28% in comparison with the brands in the same industry. Even, Highlands
also has the market share beyond Starbucks Vietnam and Trung Nguyen Coffee which
are well-known brand in Vietnam.
Highlands Coffee has been expanding its market share and proud to be Vietnam's
brand has more than 100 cafes. This shows that Highlands Coffee is gradually
dominating the beverage market.
4.5.2 Business image
Highlands Coffee is confident of a future sustainable growth and constantly striving to
bring to customers a sense of a dynamic, modern life combined with unique cultural
traditions.
The objects of the Highlands are clearly represented by the "coffee for businessman"
coffee "for office worker". This group of customers is the direction of HL since the
new development and it is a strategic direction clearly for their brand.
848
Proceedings the 10th students scientific research conference
Clearly targeting to the group of business customers and high income people,
Highlands coffee choose a name in English instead of Vietnamese as Trung Nguyen,
Phuc Long. That brings class, professional, courteous as well as modern, young and
trendy.
One of the highlights of the Highlands is the logo of the brand. The logo reflects the
image of the mountains, the earth and the flow of water in black, red, brown and white
which is also the main color in the space of this brand. This combination brings a sense
of harmony and warmth as well as modern. The image also shows the origin and
quality of the coffee beans of the basalt soil.
The location of the Highlands is in the big cities, central commercial centers. It is not
difficult to find a Highlands shops in t the center of Hanoi. The space of the Highlands
combines the indoor space and the outdoor space with the two main colors of black
and red to reflect the brand's own characteristics. These color that gives the feeling of
warmth, pure Asian style combined with the features of Western Europe in the
armchair, ... Highlands coffee space is designed to convey cultural communication
values Vietnam: it is a community of cohesion and friendliness.

CHAPTER 5
RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Introduction
In this chapter, we are going to provide solutions to problems that found in the above
chapters.
5.2 Brief summary of findings
The research gets to a number of findings.
1. Finding from customers: Uni format in theme space, rush-hour service quality,,
overloaded parking area in rush hours .These are issues that to be found through
our surveys about assessment of customers and the analysis about weaknesses and
threats of Highlands coffee. All of them impact to satisfaction of customers.
2. Finding from managers and staffs: There are employee rotations frequently, staff
changes. Employees are always important factors that contribute to the success of
the Highlands because they are persons who interact directly with customers.
Therefore, factors affect satisfaction of employees with Highlands that will reduce
productivity in working.
3. Others: Logo, fluctuation in raw material price. There are issues impact directly for
revenue.

cost of damaged property. By purchasing insurance against fire, when the loss occurs,
Highlands will be compensated by the insurer for the costs of damage and recovery.
Moreover, the food safety and hygiene is an important criterion that company need to
care. If have any customer meets food poisoning or problems related to food hygiene,
it will affect a lot of reputation and image of the company. The company minimizes the
risk of this problem by identifying the areas with the highest unsafe risk. Then,
company decides on the regular inspection densities of the control department for the
operations of the personnel in those areas that have been designated as regulated. This
monitoring program will provide immediate feedback on performance status in areas
of high risk, which will help to ensure better hygiene and safety. Besides, company
continues to train their employees about this issue. The food safety culture grows that
to be learned in all the management as well as the staff to lead to the food safety
standard will become a habit and have great significance for business activities.

● Predictive analytics is the analysis of data to generate information that will help
make more informed decisions
o Insurers’ use of credit scoring is an example of predictive analytics
● A risk map is a grid detailing the potential frequency and severity of risks faced
by the organization
o Each risk must be analyzed before placing it on the map:
● Value at risk (VAR) analysis involves calculating the worst probable loss likely
to occur in a given time period under regular market conditions at some level of
confidence
o The VAR is determined using historical data or running a computer
simulation
o Often applied to a portfolio of assets
o Can be used to evaluate the solvency of insurers
● Catastrophe modeling is a computer-assisted method of estimating losses that
could occur as a result of a catastrophic event
o Model inputs include seismic data, historical losses, and values exposed
to losses (e.g., building characteristics)
o Models are used by insurers, brokers, and large companies with exposure
to catastrophic loss
5.4.7 Establish a unit in the Sales Department specialized at monitoring and
controlling risk
This unit would centralize all efforts to monitor and control the risk. The risk manager
can predict losses using several different techniques, such as (I) Probability analysis,
(ii) Regression analysis, and (iii) Forecasting based on loss distribution.
Probability is a good risk indicator. In Probability analysis, the risk manager can assign
probabilities to individual and joint events. The probability of an event is equal to the
number of events likely to occur (X) divided by the number of exposure units (N).
Reading this indicator would help to understand how likely the risk would occur. Of
course, there is no guarantee that losses will follow past loss trends. However, keeping
knowledge of on risk in the past would help to predict the likeliness.
