  • Contract Manufacturing in Vietnam Increases Profitability
    WHITE PAPER WP000001-01 (EN/US) | 06/2021 CONTRACT MANUFACTURING IN VIETNAM INCREASES PROFITABILITY OEMS CAN LOWER LABOR COSTS, IMPROVE QUALITY, AND PROTECT IP WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER ABSTRACT Vietnam has emerged as a leader for outsourced manufacturing among southeast Asian nations due to its exceptional cost competitiveness and consistent high quality. Vietnam’s location — adjacent to established supply chains across the border it shares with China — provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with alternative sourcing as the costs of doing business in China escalate. Hourly labor rates in Vietnam are significantly lower than other nearby countries; and the nation has implemented strict laws and regulations to protect the intellectual property of foreign companies. The marketplace and political conditions together have enabled Vietnam to sustain the highest economic growth rate in the world since 2000. Understanding Vietnam’s unique financial advantages can help OEMs that outsource manufacturing to achieve a lower total cost of ownership that fuels higher profits and growth. VIETNAM EMERGES AS A CONTRACT MANUFACTURING OPTION The inflation of labor costs in China1 combined with HANOI the impacts of the recent trade war between the United States and China are prompting OEMs to look for an alternative market in which they can locate production. HAIPHONG This creates an opportunity for which Vietnam is well- positioned geographically, politically and economically. U.S. companies are recognizing that opportunity, particularly those that partner with contract manufacturers (CMs) to make electromechanical devices for commercial DA NANG aerospace, defense, space, life sciences, medical devices, industrial and semi-cap applications. Their urgent need to develop alternative supply chains is driving an accelerating shift of manufacturing from China to Vietnam.

The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides the international community with timely and accessible population data and analysis of population trends and development outcomes for all countries and areas of the world. To this end, the Division undertakes regular studies of population size and characteristics and of all three components of population change (fertility, mortality and migration). Founded in 1946, the Population Division provides substantive support on population and development issues to the United Nations General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on Population and Development. It also leads or participates in various interagency coordination mechanisms of the United Nations system.

The plane was likely to encounter some turbulence on its way to Copenhagen Airport in Denmark. The chief operations officer (COO) of the Danish shoe manufacturer ECCO A/S (ECCO), Mikael Thinghuus, did not particularly enjoy bumpy flights, but the rough flight could not overshadow the confidence and optimism he felt after his visit to Xiamen in southeast China. This was his third visit in three months. During 2003/2004, ECCO spent substantial resources on analyzing where to establish production facilities in China. On this trip, together with Flemming Brønd, the production director in China, Thinghuus had finalized negotiations with Novo Nordisk Engineering (NNE).

  • Ecco Sko A/S a Private Company Valuation Master’S Thesis
    ECCO SKO A/S A PRIVATE COMPANY VALUATION MASTER’S THESIS MARTIN JOLLER SUPERVISED BY: JENS MARCUS-MØLLER MSC APPLIED ECONOMICS AND FINANCE COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL 2014 81 PAGES 194 705 CHARACTERS HAND-IN DATE: 27.11.2014 ECCO SKO A/S – A PRIVATE COMPANY VALUATION 1. Executive summary The primary objective of this thesis is to estimate the market equity value of ECCO Sko A/S in the event of an initial public offering (IPO) or an equity sale to a publicly listed company by performing comprehensive and prudent analyses of strategic, financial and comparative elements. Founded in 1963, ECCO Sko A/S is a global manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of footwear products and related accessories. The Group is headquartered in Bredebro, Denmark, and employs 18 500 people as of 31 December 2013. As the company’s vision is to be the best shoe company in the world, it follows a unique business model in which the aim is to control the whole value chain from leather tanning to product sales. Over the past 10 years, ECCO has experienced impressive growth by more than doubling its revenues while remaining consistently profitable. The external macroeconomic, industry dependent and industry independent factors influencing ECCO were identified by performing PESTEL, six forces framework and VRIO analysis, respectively. The results revealed the most important strategic drivers affecting the company’s performance, such as economic growth and expenditure levels in footwear industry, and thus their implications for the future. For valuation purposes, as ECCO’s and its peer group companies’ financial statements were reformulated to reflect their core operational performance, it effectively provided a robust basis for profitability and growth analysis.

  • Industrial Development and Growth in Nigeria: Lessons and Challenges
    Working Paper No. 8 Industrial development and growth in Nigeria: Lessons and challenges L. N. Chete, J. O. Adeoti, F. M. Adeyinka, and O. Ogundele* Abstract The structure of the Nigerian economy is typical of an underdeveloped country. The primary sector, in particular, the oil and gas sector, dominates the gross domestic product accounting for over 95 per cent of export earnings and about 85 per cent of government revenue between 2011 and 2012. The industrial sector accounts for 6 per cent of economic activity while the manufacturing sector contributed only 4 per cent to GDP in 2011. The economic transformation agenda, otherwise known as Nigeria Vision 20: 2020, sets the direction for the current industrial policy in Nigeria. The industrialization strategy aims at achieving greater global competitiveness in the production of processed and manufactured goods by linking industrial activity with primary sector activity, domestic and foreign trade, and service activity. Keywords: industrialization, mixed economy, cooperative, garment sector, Cambodia JEL classification: L2, L52 1 *Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), Ibadan, corresponding author email: [email protected] The Brookings Institution is a private non-profit organization.
