Vietnam Over China For Small-Scale Manufacturing. Why Didn’t I Think Of T
2012-03-19 11:36:00 I constantly hear that China manufacturing is cheap only for manufacturing in fairly large scale. Many (most?) Chinese factories are geared up for large orders and large production runs and they oftentimes reject smaller orders or price them prohibitively high. This “go big or go home” mentality/capability also holds true for companies that make a wide variety of the same product. For example, a company that makes ten different kinds of widgets might find itself paying a “small quantity price” for each of the ten, rather than being able to combine all ten to achieve a large quantity discount. When clients bemoan this sort of pricing, I usually respond with something along the lines of “I feel your pain.“Â After today, my response is going to change. My response is going to change in light of a Financial Times Beyond Brics Blog post, entitled, “Vietnam: Agility Can Beat Scale,” touting Vietnam as a China alternative for small orders an...

The End Of Cheap China, Part VI. Vietnam, Burma/Myanmar, Globalization, The
2012-03-01 15:08:00 One of the things that I love about my job is hearing about the next big thing. Most next big things never actually become a big thing, but the fun is in the sorting. It seems that any time I get together with a client, the discussion invariably turns to the "next" country, with "next" country very roughly meaning the country where manufacturers will move to reduce their costs. Implicit in all of these discussions is that the "next" country has an almost unlimited capacity to supply sufficient low cost labor to step in as a China replacement. But of course this assumption is silly, as was brought clearly to light by a recent FT Beyond Brics post, entitled, "Fewer, more demanding workers for Vietnamese factories." The post focused on recent labor strikes in Vietnam and on how it is getting increasingly difficult to staff factories there: Prices of food and accommodation are rising faster than wages, making countryside dwellers reluctant to take factory jobs in far-away cities and ...

Apocalypse Redux? U.S. Natural Gas Find off Vietnam Could Raise Tensions wi
2011-10-31 18:59:00 First, the good news… U.S. oil company ExxonMobil is reporting a "potentially significant" gas discovery off the coast of Vietnam, stating in a press release, "We can confirm ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Vietnam Limited drilled its second exploration well offshore Danang in August 2011 and encountered hydrocarbons." ExxonMobil is the world’s largest publicly traded oil company by market value. While Vietnam, an oil exporter and the third-largest oil producer in South Asia, began offshore exploration of its reserves in the 1970s, Hanoi only started in 2004 awarding offshore exploration concessions to a plethora of foreign companies, including those from the U.S., Canada and India with ExxonMobil receiving concessions from the Vietnamese government allowing it to explore blocks 117, 118 . . . → Read More: Apocalypse Redux?

NEW YEAR in HAI PHONG VIETNAM
2010-12-31 11:10:00 It is 1700 hours on the 31st December 2010 and I am in Hai Phong, Veitnam waiting for a ship to come in. It is a strange feeling I have when considering the fact that over the last forty years or so and since I was first able to grasp that fact that clocks went round and that most people got blitzed on cheap wine at this exact time of the year, I am sitting here all alone and in a hotel that might only have only one other guest apart from myself. I am imagining the evening ahead and the countdown to midnight. I will probably have something to eat shortly, an offering from the menu (spaghetti bolognaise perhaps?) and a glass of Heineken. I finished my last novel on the plane here; so a movie later? They like to voice-over movies here ? western films have two sound tracks, one in Vietnamese narration the other with the original voices behind. It is possible to understand the English soundtrack but it does give headache as the ears work overtime. But HBO and Star World Channels are no...
The Best Western Pearl River Hotel, Hai Phong in Vietnam
2010-12-31 05:45:00 I am sitting in the Pearl River Hotel (Best Western) in Hai Phong, Vietnam wiaiting for a ship to come in. It is seasonally cold at 22 degrees (gets a little nippy in the evenings) and oh, so very quiet. So far I am the only patron of the establishment. Maybe a tour bus will pull up shortly and disgorge thirty red-faced and overweight Americans who will then proceed to noisily ruin all that was good, but I doubt it. It is perhaps poignant to state that Western New Year is just around the corner so apart from a couple of stray hippy nomads from Australia (and they prefer rock bottom priced wooden sheds for the night ? can?t score in a good hotel now can we?) the tourism industry grinds to a halt. When I checked in I was greeted by no less than four staff members who obviously welcomed the interruption to an otherwise undisturbed day. The restaurant where I am sitting now for a beer was silent, I?m sure I detected a layer of dust on the tables and no other customer looks to enter any ...
A Return to the Rex Hotel, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
2010-12-30 01:37:00 It is perhaps unusual for me to be in Vietnam before Christmas and again immediately after Christmas but that is beside the point. Suffice it to say that this year I managed to get home to be with my family on Christmas day but an urgent job arose that took me back North soon after. Anyway, the point of this entry is to say that I am sitting in the lobby of the Rex Hotel after a hard mornings work whilst munching on some replica of a fast-food chain (a repeat prescription) .............. they've gone and put an enormous carpet under the tables now. No more strangled-cat noises if they move them yet I would have thought harder to do so - they would need to be lifted up. I would though like to mention that the removal of the Santas (Christmas Spirit now gone) must have also allowed them to shift the Piano and the tables completely around to create another design effect. The Piano Player was also new and not quite as good as good as the last!
