| Abstract | Strategic management has the positive meaning that aids to react with the various internal and external influences of an organization. It responds the current situation of competition state, predicts the needs of the future and consequently proposes the potential method for achieving competitive advantages. Strategic management benefits for companies to develop and compete especially in the changing environment of construction industry. However, Vietnamese construction companies do not know and apply well the strategic management. Therefore, the research would like to investigate their understandings and practices in strategic management issue, then to find the problems and finally to propose the solutions to improve the current situation. The survey is executed on thirty public and private contractors respectively in I-lo Chi Minh City. The survey result indicates that there is a substantial perception on strategic management application at all levels in Vietnamese construction companies. As that result, all of them have performed unofficially on every practice of strategic management. Mission statement and objectives are not designed officially. They lack a mature analysis for generating strategies. In strategy implementation, they lack the formal plan and have to confront the problems of finance and external force impacts. Moreover, they mainly focus on financial and internal business for effectiveness of performance measurement and do not concern in other aspects for value contribution to strategy success. In order to reinforce the situation, Vietnamese contractors should change their perceptions by professional study and pay strong commitment to compete and accommodate with the changes of construction industry |
