Nowadays, Vietnam has high taxes on the domestically produced cars. According to the thanhniennews.com, ‘ In Vietnam, cars are subject to numerous taxes and fees, including import tax, value-added tax, special consumption tax and registration fees’ (Anh, 2014). This tax regulations slow down the development of the whole car industry in the Vietnam. In another word, in case, the government does not relax the taxes on car production, the price for the cars is going to be unaffordable to the local consumers.
However, our prediction is based on an assumption that Vietnamese government won't decrease the taxes on the domestically produced cars. Implementing the AEC for Vietnamese automobile industry will cause an increase of importing cars. One of the first strategies that AEC is going to take is decreasing the tax on the import automobile products.According to the road map of the ASEAN, the import tax rate will be reduced to 30- 20% in 2016, 10% in 2017 and totally removed at 2018.Consequently, the amount of import from all ASEAN countries to Vietnam will face dramatic grow. With more automobile products in the market, the competition is going to be increased, as well. Due to the fact that Vietnam is a high potential market, with growing demand for the automobiles, increasing the disposable income of the population. Therefore, with the implementation of AEC in Vietnam, the domestic automobile producing companies will suffer from competition in the
The Vietnam Was devastating time for not just America, but worldwide. This War lead to 1 million, four hundred and fifty thousand casualties from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. This devastating number only increased when you also take into account the other side, the Americans, with more than 50,000 casualties. One may argue that a major reason the Vietnam War occurred was due to the disagreement between the Soviet Reds and the Great Uncle Sam after World War 2. The Reds wanted to spread communism, this left Americans not too pleased because they were capitalist all the way.
The Vietnam War is considered one of the most controversial wars in United States history. The United States is one of the greatest superpowers at the time and were seen as the helping hand for doing the right thing. The United States were dragged into this war in order to stop the spread of communism throughout the Democratic South Korea. Many Americans saw this as the United States intervening in another country’s civil war which is not our duty. Americans also used the draft in a poor way affecting the young and African American population.
The Vietnam War was one of the longest lasting conflicts in American history starting on November 1st, 1955. Dwight Eisenhower began the United States' involvement with the Vietnam War by creating the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization to help squelch communist uprisings in the area. With conflicts growing between the Communist North Vietnamese and the anti- Communist South Vietnamese the U.S sent the first troops in 1965 to aid in stopping the spread of Communism. Even after 41 years of the war being over people still debate the legality of the vietnam war. Some say under the international laws of war it was legal and just for America to intervene with the conflict.
Taylor Price Tensions of Vietnam The Vietnam War was one of the most protested and hated wars ever fought by the United States. Though the end of previous wars were celebrated by civilians and soldiers alike, the Vietnam War never came to a victorious resolution. The soldiers of previous wars were loved and thanked for their service, while some Vietnam veterans felt ignored and even hated.
The Vietnam War The war in Vietnam was an enduring struggle for independence that lasted twenty years. After being colonized and controlled by Japan, France, and China, Vietnam was ready to revolutionize and gain their independence. Once Ho Chi Minh, the new leader of Vietnam, adopted communism the United States became more worried about Soviet aggression. A communist Vietnam meant that neighboring countries could fall to communism through a theory called the domino theory. As the war began the United States soon found themselves in a state of social, economic, and political turmoil.
The Vietnam war was the only war that the United States lost. The United States tried to help South Vietnam become free from the communism of the North; however, North Vietnam's guerilla warfare proved to be too advanced. People's reactions to the war were definitely mixed; some liked the war and agreed that we should help the South, but many did not like the idea of helping the South and thought the United States should not get involved. The Vietnam War is the subject of a PBS 13 part mini-series released in 1983 titled Vietnam: A Television History. In the mini-series, directors Andrew Pearson and Elizabeth Deane effectively use ethos, pathos, and logos in the documentaries "Homefront USA" and "America Takes Charge," to show how the war negatively affected both the Vietnamese and the United States' citizens and their countries as a whole.

Question 1 answer: Customer relationship management is mainly about building relationships with a company’s targeted profitable customers and maintaining that relationship through delivering customer value, as in how a consumer perceives a certain product and values it enough to buy it rather than buying the competitor’s product, and delivering customer satisfaction where the product meets the exact expectations the consumer had actually expected from the product or more, but not less. Companies can build customer relationships at many levels, depending on the nature of the target market (Kotler and Armstrong, 1988). Companies with many low-margin customers can develop basic relationships by which a company doesn’t get to know it’s consumers

• Care must be given to the fact the Renault, the mother company is a prestigious symbol of French automotive prowess.

The majority of these were Cars and a sizable minority in cases like General Motors (2.89 million or nearly a third of their vehicles) and Ford (2.67 million nearly half of their vehicles) were Light Commercial Vehicles (SUVs, pickup trucks, etc.). The luxury of being in the U.S. allows these two to tap in to the U.S. citizen’s taste for the LCV and exploit it to their advantage. The rest of the competition quickly slide in to the category of 2 million or more vehicles manufactured per year (Honda, Renault, Suzuki, BMW, Nissan, etc.). Here Fiat Chrysler Automobiles again demonstrates the manufacturers targeting the U.S. market for LCVs derive nearly half of their units produced from them (2.35 million units manufactured). Likewise, Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, Nissan and Suzuki all make the majority of their sales out of cars, not LCVs as their main markets are in Asia where the majority of customers do not care for SUVs or pick-up
