Abstract
As trade relations between Vietnam and the United States continue to advance, business opportunities in Vietnam for US manufacturers are ever-expanding. I took a deep dive into this topic at my internship with InCorp Vietnam, one of the leading business consulting firms in Vietnam. Formerly Cekindo, the company specializes in assisting foreign clients to begin and continue operations in the Vietnamese market. The firm offers many services ranging from business advice, legal consultancy services– involving government permissions and work visas– to setting up entire payrolls for the Vietnamese offices of these foreign enterprises. My position at InCorp Vietnam was with both the human resources department and the market research department. My main task was to research the opportunities that US manufacturers had in Vietnam to better identify which companies that InCorp Vietnam would reach out to for consultancy services. This entailed establishing the context of the current success stories among American businesses in Vietnam. Furthermore, I had to delve into researching the many manufacturers associations of the US to select which would provide InCorp Vietnam with the most opportunity to assist in consultancy services. My secondary task was to assist the company’s team in learning professional, workplace English. This involved teaching lessons and conducting group discussions. This paper intends to relay my findings as to the current economic climate for American companies wishing to operate in Vietnam and what opportunities are available for them using much of the information and sources from my research. It will also discuss my observations working at a Vietnamese company.
