8.Function
8.1.Structure organizational
Structure organizational
(PNJ, 2019)
PNJ is a company with a functional structure. The company is organizated, managed and
operated according to the model including: General Assembly of Shareholders, Board of
Directors, Supervisory Board and General Director. The General Meeting of Shareholders is the
highest decision-making body of the company. Next, the Board of Directors is the governing
body of the company. Besides, the Supervisory Board will check and submit financial reports
and business reports. Finally, the General Director is the person who directly works, operates
and understands the operation of the business (PNJ, 2019).

PNJ is also a multinational structure company. The company's head office is located at 107E
Phan Dang Luu Street, Ward 3, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City, VIETNAM. PNJ
company's products are exported to countries such as Russia, America, Germany, UK, Thailand,
Japan, Korea .... Based on different countries that PNJ has exported products that suit their
aesthetic. In 2012, PNJ hired foreign consultants to standardize the management system
according to international standards. Before inviting consultants in, PNJ organized seminars for
everyone to see the need for change. PNJ has realized that bad things are hindering
development and concludes that it must be changed in order not to fall behind. PNJ Jewelry is
considered one of the largest jewelry factories in Asia. (PNJ, 2019)
8.2.Department marketing
For every company, the marketing department is one of the most important. PNJ's marketing
department has the following basic tasks: market forecast research, set up relationships with
customers, and creating marketing strategies for the company's products. After a period of
market research, the marketing department noticed that gold bar trading had reduced its network,
so PNJ immediately changed the business group to other products. For example, PNJ's
diversified product models also come from customers' needs. Jewelry lines are constantly
renewed, and the customer base is also expanded: The age of female customers expands from
18-25 to 18-35 years old, adding a collection for children. and preparing to launch men's designs.
Following that, PNJ always knows how to research deeply into customers' psychology.
Specifically, the campaign "Golden Happiness" or "Priceless Gift" .... These campaigns have
brought positive results for the number one jewelry company in Vietnam, helping the company
increase its market share and a huge “reach” rate. PNJ has succeeded in conveying the view
that women are priceless and deserve the best. Finally, PNJ expands its distribution channels in
big cities, PNJ has heavily invested in distribution channels to increase the influence of this
jewelry brand in the market. Thanks to the advantage of “the more you do it, the more you know”,
PNJ can expand in all markets and it is difficult for other gold jewelry businesses to jump into
retail competition with PNJ. That is the difference when compared to Bao Tin Minh Chau, a
strong brand in Hanoi, but it is difficult to expand its scope of activities further.

The marketing department has always had important and necessary connections with the
finance and human resources departments. The marketing department has an excellent
strategy that can construct a series of activities that perform well against brand targets, but if the
finance department doesn't approve the budget, the strategy falls into the past and falls apart.
So when there is an important strategy, the commercial marketer is the one who will go to work
directly with the finance department, exchange the budget for it to put into action. Then, from the
directions given by the marketing department, the HR department will have a plan to recruit and
train personnel suitable for each position of the company, helping the company to achieve the
plan.
8.3.Functional structure achieve goals
Regarding the functional structure of PNJ, the company can achieve its target until 2020. In
2019, Vietnam's economy will be affected. Due to unfavorable geopolitical events around the
world, the retail industry has begun to slow down. PNJ had to overcome a number of problems
when it came to live the ERP system. In that situation, with the wise direction of the Board of
Directors and the Executive Board, along with the solidarity and determination of the employees,
the company has helped the company to fulfill the 2019 profit target set. out from the beginning
of the year. Due to the complicated situation of the 19th country and the trade war between
major powers in the world, the company has had new strategic directions such as: stable growth,
capacity building, resource enrichment, preparation for the future to bring long-term benefits to
shareholders. The functional structure of the Company has had thoughtful preparation and a
long-term vision to achieve the target set for 2020.
9.Social enterprise
The more modern society develops, the more social problems we will encounter such as:
environmental pollution, apparel, recycling, alternative energy ... So, more and more social
enterprises was born to solve the burning problems of society. In Vietnam, there are many
different social enterprises. including the social enterprise KOTO (Know One Teach One) was

the first social enterprise in Vietnam established in 1999 by Mr. Jimmy Pham. KOTO is a social
enterprise and restaurant located in Hanoi, Vietnam. KOTO is a humanitarian vocational training
center and owns a chain of restaurants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. On the
occasion of the 20th anniversary of KOTO, according to Mr. Jimmy Pham, the founder, when he
was a tour guide he often brought Australian tourists to visit his homeland of Vietnam, Mr. Jimmy
had the opportunity to interact with children opportunities in Hanoi. "The children looked at me
and said: We want to have a job in hand so that we can find a stable job," Mr. Jimmy Pham
recalls. "I did not know what I would do at that time, but I knew I definitely needed action”.
(Vneconomy, 2019)
KOTO has a number of advantages and disadvantages as follows. In terms of advantages:
KOTO actively looks for children in difficult circumstances, wandering about, carefully reviews
their conditions, identities and abilities to ensure they can study. Not only vocational training
including: cooking, service skills, restaurant and hotel management, KOTO also helps students
have life skills, communication skills, and foreign language learning. KOTO has helped and
changed the lives of more than 1,000 difficult children in Vietnam. Besides advantages, KOTO
also has disadvantages like: the ability to access and mobilize commercial investment capital is
limited because KOTO is established individually and has a mission to serve the society.
Simultaneously KOTO is not for profit purposes, so it cannot attract commercial investors. (CSIP,
2016)
10. For Merit
M1.1. Analyze that the size to achieve the objective
As for the size of PNJ (presented in the size section) we can see that PNJ company is suitable
for achieving social and economic objectives.
For social goals, because PNJ is a jewelry retail and processing company, PNJ knows that its
business activities can affect the environment when most of PNJ's inputmaterials are not

regenerative material. Therefore, PNJ's Board of Directors always focuses on the efficient use of
input materials, thereby contributing to minimizing negative impacts on the environment.
According to the strategic direction of 2020, one of the key tasks that PNJ sets out is to continue
to invest in facilities, machinery and equipment for PNJ Jewelry Processing and Trading
Company Limited (PNJP). - Factory number 2) to raise jewelry product standards, improve the
production process to use the amount of raw material input effectively, reduce loss and average
30% increase compared to 2018. ( PNJ, 2019)
For economic goals, by 2020, PNJ sets the target of net revenue growth of about 12%, with
absolute value of more than 19,000 billion VND; gross profit increased 15%, reaching 3,991
billion VND; Profit after tax increased 13%, reaching 1,349 billion VND. Besides, the company
also balances short-term growth with pressing restructuring button to prepare new foundations
for sustainable development. But after the first 4 months of the year, revenue and profit did not
reach the set target. Specifically, net revenue decreased by 4% over the same period in 2019,
reaching VND 5,502 billion; Profit after tax decreased 34% over the same period, reaching 320
billion VND. The failure of PNJ's business goals to be achieved is due to the fact that in April
2020, our country is in the period of Covid-19 prevention and control. In this month, PNJ's
business targets fell the most, net revenue was only 501 billion dong, down 47% year-on-year
and negative after-tax profit was 89 billion dong, down by 268% compared with the same period
last year. ( Chi Tin, 2020)
M1.2.Analyze that the scope to achieve the objectives
About the scope of PNJ's activities, they set 3 goals: geographic market, main market, target
customers. in which, customer target is one of the most important targets to evaluate the
consumption of PNJ's products.

Vietnam population pyramid 2020
(PopulationPyramid, 2020)
Looking at the population pyramid chart of Vietnam, it is not difficult to see that Vietnam has a
young population structure, aged 20-45, accounting for 20.1% of the population. For the fashion
field today, consumers avoid cumbersome and want the most sophisticated and neat products
possible. Catching customers' fashion trends, PNJ is one of the jewelry enterprises that
pioneered in positioning its products properly towards young customers aged 25-45 with simple
designs but still keeping the elegance and elegance, very eye-catching and using new materials
has met the expectation of a modern jewelry trend, PNJ's products are fast in being welcomed
by the market. In PNJ's philosophy of sustainable development, one of the main factors is to put

customers' interests first. Therefore, PNJ has created quality products that customers receive
from the business. Because of this, by the end of 2019, jewelry products crafted by PNJ were
distributed directly to millions of customers through 346 retail stores, e-commerce channels.
and indirectly through more than 3,000 wholesale customers nationwide, as well as being
exported to 13 countries and regions, up 58% compared to 2016. (PNJ, 2019)
M1.3. Advantages and Disadvantages of structure
For the functional structure of PNJ , it will help the company achieve the set goals. Besides,
this structure also has the following pros and cons . About the pros: the structure is very
simple to understand and operate; communication is quick and easy, feedback can be done
faster; responsibilities are fixed and agreed at each level, and mandates and responsibilities are
clear; ecisions are made quickly and coordinated as effectively as possible, so, this structure is
economical and efficient; people in linear organizations know each other better and tend to
become close, the system is able to adapt itself to changing conditions for the simple reason that
each operator has unique responsibility in his or her field. Besides these pros, it has the
following cons: It is a rigid and inflexible form of organization; the apparatus of power tends to
turn into dictator; different departments may be more concerned with their interests than the
interests and well-being of the organization; creates abuse of authority to help family members;
no reward or punishment is given to workers. For example, when someone is in a high position
in the business such as: general manager, supervisory board ..., their family members are
looking for a job and want to enter the business they are working for. somehow, when their
family members come for the interview, they will receive it right away without having the same
difficulties as the others. This is one of the examples of abuse of one's authority to help family
members.

11. For Dicstinction
For the current majority of companies, the internal control department (the supervisory board)
is the worst performer. Poor performance has many causes. The first thing to mention is the
control environment. The integrity and ethics of the leadership of internal control is an extremely
important thing, but if in the supervisory board, some leaders do not set an example for
subordinates in daily work conduct. and do not praise employees who comply well with ethical
standards, strict discipline towards cheats, and dishonesty will directly affect the interests of the
business. For example, in the management of a control someone embezzling the property of a
business as private property, the firm is likely to collapse rapidly if the general meeting of
shareholders and other departments do not. discovered. Next, if in the supervisory board
department, the employee does not commit to his or her capacity as in the recruitment time, it
will affect work efficiency. Finally, in terms of control activities, it is necessary to maintain and
perfect well the general control, control of the focus activities, which are performed regularly or
periodically by competent and competent staff. permission. If the employee does not control a
part or stage, it is very likely to lose assets quickly.
Besides, the company also has the most effective department which is the research and
development department (R&D). without an R&D department, a company may not be able to
survive on its own and must rely on other ways to innovate, such as entering mergers and
acquisitions or partnerships. Through R&D, companies can design new products and improve
existing services. This division plays an important role in timely detection and application of new
technologies to create a competitive advantage in the market such as developing new products
against competitors, improving product quality, improve production processes to reduce costs.
For example, the company offers 6 billion VND so that this department can develop a product
that meets the customer's wishes, has a reasonable price, and comes up with a development
