INTRODUCTION

1. Rationale of the study

Vietnam's economy is growing quickly and more fully integrating with the
global economy thanks to the market system. According to the national ranking of
the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) of Harvard University, Vietnam's economy
increased 12 places, ranked 52nd in the world in terms of diversification and
modernization of production capacities and national exports in the period from 2015-
2020. One of the fastest growing industries during this period was the information
technology industry. In the period 2016-2020, the information technology industry has
an average growth rate of 14.7%/year, higher than the economic growth rate and the
industry's target (10%), according to the report of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
In particular, in the first 6 months of 2021, the information technology industry
continued to grow with total revenue of Vietnam reaching nearly 65 billion USD, an
increase of about 22% over the same period in 2020.
Educational technology is a sub-branch of the information technology industry.
Vietnam's educational technology (EdTech) market is being evaluated as extremely
potential and attracts great attention from investors, especially in the context of the
Covid-19 outbreak. According to the Vietnam Education Technology Report 2021,
Vietnam is in the top 10 educational technology markets with the largest growth rate
in the world with a rate of about 44.3%.
In that such favourable situation, organization managers in the EdTech sector
need to comprehend the unique circumstances of the business in order to survive
and grow over the long term. They must specifically consider corporate
performance, accomplishments, and constraints in order to develop solutions to
raise income and capital efficiency.
In addition, the growth of the Internet has strengthened and deepened the
interaction between the economies of the world. This has increased the chances for
enterprises to expand internationally. Organizations must expand faster and stronger

and use capital wisely to take advantage of this opportunity, especially for medium-
sized businesses like EUP Technology Joint Stock Company.
Being aware of the above importance, I choose the topic: "Analysis of business
performance of EUP Technology Joint Stock Company".

CHAPTER 2. ANALYZE THE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE OF THE EUP


TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY
CHAPTER 3: PROPOSALS TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE OF
THE EUP TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY
CHAPTER 1. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR
BUSINESS ASSESSMENT OF FINTECH COMPANIES

1.1. Some definitions

1.1.1 The concept of business

Business is known as the practice of earning a living or generating revenue


via the production, acquisition, and sale of items (such as goods and services).
Additionally, it includes "any activity or enterprise undertaken for profit."
The owner of the business is responsible and liable for any obligations made
by the business since the business entity is not legally distinguished from the owner
by the use of a business name. In the event that a firm accrues debt, creditors may
seize the owner's personal property. Corporate tax rates are not permitted in a firm
structure. All business income is subject to personal taxation for the proprietor.
Although not by lawyers or public authorities, the phrase is also frequently used
colloquially to refer to a corporation, such as a company or
Contrary to sole proprietorships and partnerships, corporations are separate legal
entities with limited liability for their owners/members and are taxed at corporate
rates. A corporation gives more protection and benefits for the owners/members, but
it is more difficult and expensive to establish up.
1.1.2 The concept of business performance

Commercial effectiveness refers to a company's, department's, or person's


capacity to archive their intended goals and outcomes. Commercial effectiveness
includes some elements such as expenses, timeframes, quality, and profitability. It
can be measured by both qualitative and quantitative method. The measurement of
commercial effectiveness related to turnover, the number of sales, market shares,

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

and margins, among other metrics, are explained by the nature of the business sector
in which the company operates, the economic context, seasonality, or the level of
market competition.
Business performance, which is strongly related to commercial effectiveness,
is the ability of a corporation to adopt optimal organization with the goal of
providing a product or service that satisfies the expectations of consumers and
customers. Business performance is an economic term that describes how
effectively a corporation uses its resources to accomplish specified goals based on
its inputs and outputs. According to Neely (2003), a multi-dimensional collection of
predetermined performance measures is the foundation of the business measurement
system that is built for the planning and administration of a corporation.
Both qualitative and quantitative metrics are available. They are called key
performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs allow a business to manage its sales
strategy by creating several dashboards. There are numerous KPIs, including
conversion rate, customer loyalty rate, customer acquisition cost, sales analysis and
a salesperson's turnover.
Business performance is also known as the ability of maximizing
commercial revenue using the available material and human resources. Quantitative
KPIs may be measured fairly easily, but it is still difficult for businesses to truly
comprehend qualitative performance indicators. However, businesses are no longer
reluctant to develop performance assessment criteria, both quantitative and
qualitative, for all tasks, including support functions, in order to include incentive
compensation requirements.
1.2. Importance of business performance analytics

Business operation benefits from the use of business performance analysis. It


is also one of the tools for efficient economic management.
Economic efficiency is a concern for businesses because it will aid in their
growth and boost their ability to compete with rivals. Enterprises must precisely
examine every development in their company activities, including strengths,

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

shortcomings, and ways to boost performance, on a regular basis in order to achieve


long-term growth and competitiveness.
Analysis of business performance is the process of assessing how well
economic targets are being implemented, how far you are from your goals, what
challenges you have to face, and how you may highlight your company's assets.
Enterprises can better direct all areas of production and business activities,
including all operations of departments and units under the enterprise.
1.3. Factors affecting business performance of enterprises

1.3.1. External factors

1.3.1.1. Economic environment

The health and prosperity of the economy are determined by the


macroeconomic environment, which has an impact on enterprises and industries.
Therefore, businesses must study the economic environment to recognize their
changes, trends and strategic implications.
Economic environment refers to the nature and direction of the economy in
which a business operates. The effects of the economy on a company can alter its
ability to generate value and earnings. Four important factors in the macroeconomic
environment are the economy's growth rate, interest rates, exchange rate, and
inflation rate.
1.3.1.2. Credit environment

The interest rates have a direct influence on the daily life of each economic
entity. It affects decisions made by individuals such as spending or saving, buying a
home or buying bonds, or depositing money in a savings account. For example,
people who have money when interest rates are low, they will invest in shopping, or
save the opposite if interest rates are high, they will use it for loans. For people who
need to borrow capital, if the interest rate is low, they will borrow more to invest in
business, on the contrary, if the interest rate is high, they will have to balance the
loan appropriately.

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

Interest rates also affect the economic decisions of businesses such as using
money to invest in buying new equipment for factories or to deposit savings in a
bank. Because of these effects, interest rates are one of the most closely watched
variables in the economy
1.3.1.3. Technological environment

With a pervasive and diverse space, technological changes affect many parts
of society. These impacts are mainly through new products, process technologies,
and materials. The technology segment includes the institutions and activities
involved in creating new knowledge and translating that knowledge into new
outputs, products, processes, and materials.
One of the most important effects of technological change is that it can affect
the barriers to entry and reshape industry structures. In fact, the Internet represents a
major technological change, and it appears to pave the way for a process of creative
destruction that spans many industries.
1.3.1.4. Global environment

Global segmentation includes relevant global markets, changing current


markets, significant international political events, and underlying cultural and
institutional features in global markets. Globalization of business markets presents
both opportunities and challenges.
Businesses have more potential revenue streams when they enter the global
market. By expanding into new international markets, companies can boost their
chances of selling their innovations. The likelihood that it will receive a favourable
return on its innovations increases with the size of the market. Undoubtedly,
businesses that join a new market can spread the fresh information they have
generated and gain additional insight from the market. The various sociocultural and
institutional traits of international marketplaces must be understood by businesses.
1.3.2. Internal factors

Internal resources can be divided into two categories: tangible resources and
intangible resources. Tangible resources are visible and quantifiable, including

10

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

financial, organizational, physical, and technology. Intangible sources include


human resource, technology, and reputation. In a global economy, a company's
success depends on systematic intelligence and resources more than its physical
assets.
Human resources refer to the people who make up the workforce of an
organization, business sector, or economy. Human resources include all the people
who have been working at the company in all different positions. This is the main
source that determines the profit and development of the company. People,
regardless of position, and different units, are important subjects in creating and
promoting the advantages of the unit. Human resources are an indispensable
component in any business unit. No unit can exist without human resources to meet
the operation and operation of the company's apparatus. Therefore, each business
unit needs to have the best solutions in human resource management.
Technology is the application of scientific and technical knowledge to
improve product quality and manufacturing processes. Technology helps product
development through automation technologies. Thereby improving the quality of
products and services. Thanks to IT, the market is expanded, new sales forms are
effective at low costs. In order to build an effective business strategy, businesses
will use information technology and the Internet to select information, connect and
share information sources with other businesses.
Reputation is the subjective qualitative belief a person has regarding a brand,
person, company, product, or service. Those enterprises which have strong positive
reputations attract more customer to use their products and services. They are
perceived as providing more value for the customers. The more reputation a
company has, the more loyal and frequently spending its customers are.
1.4. Indicators reflecting business performance

1.4.1. Gross profit margin

By estimating the amount of money left over from product sales after
deducting the cost of goods sold (COGS), analysts can determine the financial

11

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

health of a company. The gross profit margin, also known as the gross margin ratio,
is typically represented as a percentage of sales.
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is deducted from net sales to get a company's
gross profit margin percentage (gross revenues minus returns, allowances, and
discounts). To determine the gross profit margin in percentage terms, this amount is
then divided by net sales.

1.4.2. Net profit margin

One of the most crucial measures of a company's financial health is its net
profit margin. A business can determine whether its existing procedures are
effective and estimate earnings based on revenues by monitoring growth and
reductions in its net profit margin. It is easy to compare the profitability of two or
more firms regardless of size since organizations represent net profit margin as a
percentage rather than a monetary value.
This metric includes all factors in a company's operations, including:
 Total revenue
 Additional income streams
 COGS and other operational expenses
 Interest expense on debt obligations
 Investment income and income from secondary operations
 One-time payments for unusual events such as lawsuits and taxes
Formula and Calculation for Net Profit Margin:

Where:
R = Revenue
COGS = Cost of goods sold
E = Operating and other expenses
I = Interest
T = Taxes

lOMoARcPSD|10801364

1.4.3. Return on assets (ROA)

A financial ratio known as return on assets (ROA) measures a company's


profitability in relation to its total assets. ROA can be used by corporate
management, analysts, and investors to assess how effectively a company uses its
resources to make a profit.
The metric is frequently represented as a percentage using the net income
and average assets of a corporation. A company's ability to manage its balance sheet
to produce profits is more effective and efficient when its ROA is higher; on the
other hand, a lower ROA suggests there is potential for improvement.
Investors can determine the efficiency of a company by looking at its return
on assets (ROA) statistic. Because the business may make more money with a less
investment, the higher the ROA number, the better. Simply put, a higher ROA
translates into greater asset efficiency.
By dividing a company's net income by all of its assets, ROA is determined.
The formula is as follows:

1.4.4. Return on equity (ROE)

A metric of financial performance known as return on equity (ROE) is


obtained by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. ROE is referred to as the
return on net assets since shareholders' equity is determined by subtracting a
company's debt from its assets.
ROE is regarded as a barometer of a company's profitability and how well it
produces profits. The management of a firm is more effective at generating income
and growth from its equity financing the higher the ROE.
Any corporation can calculate its ROE in percentage form if its net income
and equity are both positive figures.

Net income is the sum of a company's income, net expenses, and taxes for a
specific time period. In order to compute average shareholders' equity, equity at the

13

lOMoARcPSD|10801364

beginning of the period is added. The period shall start and conclude at the same
time as the period in which the net income is earned.
The income statement includes net income for the full fiscal year, often
known as the trailing 12 months. The balance sheet, which is a running balance of
all changes in a company's assets and liabilities over time, is where investors can
find their equity.
1.4.5. Current ratio

A liquidity ratio called the current ratio assesses a company's capacity to


settle short-term debts or those that are due within a year. It explains to investors
and analysts how a business can use its present assets to the fullest extent possible
to pay down its current liabilities and other payables.
In general, an appropriate current ratio is one that is comparable to the
industry norm or just a little bit higher. The likelihood of distress or default may be
increased by a current ratio that is lower than the industry average. In a similar vein,
if a company's current ratio is significantly higher than that of its peer group, it
suggests that management might not be making the most use of its resources.
Because it includes all current assets and current liabilities, unlike some other
liquidity ratios, the current ratio is named current. The working capital ratio is
another name for the current ratio.
Current assets listed on a company’s balance sheet include cash, accounts
receivable, inventory, and other current assets (OCA) that are expected to be
liquidated or turned into cash in less than one year.
Current liabilities include accounts payable, wages, taxes payable, short-term
debts, and the current portion of long-term debt.

for each unit of an asset. The ROA value of the business is shown in the figure

quite a low ROA for an entrepreneur like EUP Technology Joint Stock Company. In

ROA of the business grew at an average rate of about 4% per year, which is
impressive and fast growth. The main reason for the growth in ROA was mainly
from revenue and profit growth. The business achieves a Return on Assets of over
13.31% in 2021. This means that for each unit of assets, the business will generate
approximately 0.1331 units of profit.

Return on Equity of more than 10%, then that company is considered to efficient
use of capital efficiently.

21%. While capital contribution did not grow too much, the strong increase in ROE

2.2.4. Analysis of the company's solvency

Current ratio is an important ratio for a business. It indicates a company's


ability to use short-term assets such as cash, short-term financial investments or
receivables to cover its short-term liabilities. The higher the ratio, the more likely
the company will be able to repay its debts. A current ratio of less than 1 indicates
that the company is in a negative financial position, likely to default on its debts as
they mature. Conversely, a current ratio of greater than 1 show that the business has
financial security in the short term. Current ratio of EUP Technology Joint Stock
Company is shown in the figure below:

According to the chart above, we can see that in the period of 2018-2020,
businesses always maintain current ratio at about 100%. This means that 1 unit of
short-term debt can be covered by 1 unit of current assets. Current assets of EUP
Technology Joint Stock Company mainly include cash, financial investments and
receivables from customers. However, this ratio tends to be unstable over the years.
Specifically, in 2018 this ratio was around 102% but then fell below 100% in 2019.
In 2020, the company's current ratio has increased impressively to 107%, which will
help the company guarantee payment of short-term debts. This, according to the
management's explanation, is due to the recognition of high profit from business

performance, which helps to increase the amount of cash and receivables from
customers in the company's financial statements. However, in 2021, the current ratio
has dropped significantly to 103%. In 2021, part of the company's short-term assets
has been converted into long-term assets. Although the business generally still
maintains the ability to pay short-term debts, the instability of the current ratio can
bring unforeseen difficulties if the company's business results suddenly decrease in
revenue and net income growth.
2.3. Evaluation of the company's business activities

2.3.1. Achievements

After 5 years of innovation and development, EUp Technology Joint Stock


Company has been affirming a solid position in the market, maintaining its position

a number of businesses went bankrupt. However, with the characteristic of
operating in the field of information technology, EUP Technology Joint Stock

difficulties into opportunities of development. Thanks to the ability to apply
technology to continuously improve old products and develop many new
applications, the company has continuously exceeded its revenue and profit targets.
Therefore, EUP company has developed rapidly in the past 2 years.

the past 2 years, the living standards and salaries of the company's employees and
managers have also improved significantly. Thereby, creating more motivation for
them to help the company develop in the future.
In the next 2 years, the company intends to continue to expand the scale of
customers and promote the development of new products. Specific goals have been
set, such as capturing 80% of the market share of Chinese learners in Vietnam and
trying to bring the Hanzii brand to the world, 50% of the global TOEIC test
preparation market, … The company's vision to 2030 is that EUp Technology Joint
Stock Company will become a leading Technology Company in the field of learning
solutions.
2.3.2. Shortcoming

2.3.2.1. Risk of competition from other dictionary and language learning


applications
Vietnam is a country that have extremely high technology adaptation.
Therefore, the educational technology market in recent years has grown strongly
and opened many opportunities for start-ups. However, the rapid development also
creates more competitors in the market. In addition, it also causes piracy, infiltrating

29

lOMoARcPSD|10801364

data systems, causing unfair competition among companies in the same industry.
EUp Technology Joint Stock Company's competitors include Go Japan, Hello
Chinese, Duolingo, etc.
In a market where like products are becoming more and more popular, the
company will find it difficult to occupy the market, diversify products and
marketing to consumers. This requires the company to continuously invest in
product improvement, technology content and user experience to be able to
continue to stand and develop, otherwise it will be eliminated very quickly.
2.3.2.2. The risk of face-to-face language learning classes returning after the
Covid-19 epidemic
The company's revenue and profit recorded significant growth in 2020 and
2021. This can be partly explained by the fact that the Covid 10 epidemic has made
online learning and teaching activities difficult. further stalled. However, by 2022,
this activity has been normalized again. This will cause the company to compete
again with traditional classrooms. The number of competitors coming from these
traditional classes is enormous and indeterminable. Therefore, the company may
have to offer more marketing strategies such as discounts, vouchers, etc. in order to
attract new customers and retain old customers. This will greatly affect the revenue
and profit of the company.
2.3.2.3. Risks of short-term debt increase
The information technology is one of the fields that requires a huge initial
investment. In the coming years, the company has ambitions to introduce more new
and attractive products. Therefore, the company will have to promote investment
capital in research and development activities. Part of the funding may come from
short-term bank loans. This will increase debt and reduce the company's current
ratio while this ratio in recent years has not been at a really safe level. If short-term
borrowing to invest in research and development does not bring corresponding
revenue and profit, the company may face problems with finance, debt repayment
and other operating costs.

CHAPTER 3: PROPOSALS TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS


PERFORMANCE OF THE EUP TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK
COMPANY

3.1. Improve product and service quality

Enterprises in the field of education technology not only compete with each
other within a country but also have to compete with products from abroad.
Therefore, the company needs to make efforts to improve not only the quality of
products but also the quality of customer service.
In the field of educational technology, the market for customers changes very
quickly. Improving and diversifying products will help the company increase the
scale of customers using the product quickly and grow faster than other competitors.
While the company's competitors are trying to compete by lowering product costs,
EUP company has been acutely aware that only product innovation and
diversification can help the company continue to grow in the long term. Products
with more features, easier to use and bring more benefits to customers will be
popular and have a higher selling price, helping not only increase revenue but also
increase profit margin for the company. Some of the measures to help the company
improve the product's features include implementing gamification, a social network
that connecting learners, ...
Gamification is the strategic attempt to enhance systems, services,
organizations, and activities by creating similar experiences to those experienced
when playing games in order to motivate and engage users. Learning is a matter of
reinforcing the relevant stimuli and response. Repetition is important to learning
especially for skills like writing, reading or arithmetic. In Wright, Betteridge and
Buckby (1984), it is shown that many students find that playing games helps to keep
their interest in the material and boosts learning motivation. From the above studies,
EUP company should plan to develop gamification system on its language learning
products in order to increase the learning efficiency of customers. From there,

31

Downloaded by K60 Lê Hu? Duyên (k60.2112150043@ftu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|10801364

customers will feel that the company's products bring more value and are loyal to
the product
For group learning system, there are many research showing that learning is
more efficient when the learners contact and discuss with each other. According to
Barkley, Cross & Major (2005); Davis (1993), group discussions are better
remembered because when presented with the same information in small groups,
students tend to learn more and retain it longer than when it is delivered in other
instructional styles. The above statement also includes language learning. By
applying technology, EUP company can create a community of customers to help
them connect and learn from each other. This feature can be integrated right on each
product. In each of these communities, learners can chat, voice chat or video call
with each other to improve language learning efficiency.
Besides, the company also needs to promote the quality of customer care to
create the number of loyal customers for the company. Some product features that
should be added include chat box with customer care, list of product questions and
answers, etc.
3.2. Improve the financial performance

The company needs to regularly monitor and evaluate capital sources and the
efficiency of their use. It is very important to balance the ratio of mobilized capital
sources. It will help the company to be financially secure and pay its debts.
Therefore, the company needs to maintain the audit regime twice a year in order to
assess the business performance and improve the efficiency of financial
management.
Currently, capital from debt accounts for about 50% of EUP's total capital.
This is a quiet risky number. In order to avoid payment risks, capital sources from
debt should be handled quickly, repay on time and limit additional if unnecessary.
On the other hand, capital from business profits or new shareholders needs to be
added because this is a safe and long-term capital source for the company.

32

lOMoARcPSD|10801364

On the other hand, the risks of losing market share to competitors and the
risk of declining revenue are tending to increase. In the first six months of 2022, the
company's revenue did not grow year on year, according to the latest semi-annual
report. However, the company is planning to raise capital from new investors to
invest in new products. Good performance of ROA and ROE will be highly
appreciated by investors and shareholders. In order to maintain the performance of
ROA and ROE, the company might face the challenge of reducing cost. Salary and
administrative expenses account for more than 50% of the company's annual
expenses. Therefore, some measures to help the company cut down on these
expenses include cutting down on unnecessary staff, adding tasks and training
multi-task skills for other employees, as well as using some automatic business
management systems such as Ecount ERP, Piacom, Fastwork, ...
3.3. Deploy automatic customer analytic system

In any business, customer understanding is always at the forefront. On the


basis of collecting customer information, enterprises consider to improve and
innovate their products and services. The customer research has been well done by
EUP Technology Joint Stock Company for a long time. However, as the openness of
the educational technology market is very large, there are more and more new
businesses appearing and fierce competition with the company. Therefore, a deep
understanding of customers will help the company create more competitive
advantages.
There are now many software systems for companies to automate and
simplify the customer research process. Automated customer analysis systems
Pendo, Dagoras, TMS, etc. will be a great choice to help the company better
understand. Let take Pendo as an example. It provides the tool to track metrics such
as feature engagement, customer enquiries, team onboarding, and other analytics in
order to better understand how customers are utilizing the company's product. Even
dashboards are used to monitor feature usage statistics and identify potential user
bottlenecks or recurring problems.

3.4. International cooperation

Technology in the world is developing rapidly, so international cooperation


in general and international cooperation in the field of educational technology in
particular is indispensable and very important.
Recently, artificial intelligence and metaverse are becoming a trend and
strongly developing in the world thanks to their ability to increase interaction and
customer experience. However, in Vietnam, these concepts are still very new and
lack of organization has enough financial and capacity to take the lead in this field.
Therefore, the joint venture or cooperation with foreign enterprises will help the
company improve and innovate its products. Some of the world's top EdTech
companies that EUP company might consider partnering with include Poliglota,
Babbel, ITutorGroup, etc. These are all the world's leading companies that have
successfully applied artificial intelligence and automatic customer care system in
their language learning service. Instead of competing, EUP should look for
opportunities to cooperate with them to learn for new technology. International
cooperation will not only help the company dominate the domestic market but also
open an opportunity to expand to the language learning market in other countries.
3.5. Improve the working efficiency

Staff need to be professionally trained in management. In order to achieve


that, the EUP company should appreciate the role of leaders in the company.
Therefore, the company should hold once a month a whole-company meeting and
once a week a meeting for each department. During each meeting, the staff and their
leader will focus on the specific problem of the whole company or the department.
When departments understand the problem, leaders give more appropriate and
effective mission plans to employees.
As a company working in technology, employees of EUP company will
always have to update new knowledge and skills related to programming and data.

programming language. Meanwhile, the Project Department also needs to improve


the skill of applying complicated tool and system in data analysis.
Besides, the company should enhance the whole company and each
department to work as a team. Team working will help improve working speed and
efficiency and reduce the intellectual gap between the employees through learning
from each other. On the other hand, the collaboration between departments will
make the business more functional. Member from any team of any department can
share their ideas, learning new skills from the experts form other team. These
methods should enable Eup to improve employee capabilities and productivity even
as headcount declines.

integrate more fully with the global economy. Because of their ability to pick things
up quickly and adapt flexibly, many local businesses are producing innovative and
competitive products in the technology industry. To survive and expand over the

circumstances. In order to create solutions to increase revenue and capital
efficiency, they must take business performance, accomplishments, and restrictions
into particular consideration.

the expansion of the Internet, businesses now have more opportunities as well as
challenges to grow globally. Therefore, Organizations must expand faster and

to achieve annual goals.
