Samsung’s mobile phones and phone parts are getting more sophisticated and smaller, which changes every six months. It is a challenge for Vietnamese enterprises to renovate production lines and technologies, which requires huge capital.
Besides the major requirements on production and quality control, Samsung also encourages its partners to pay attention to R&D.
Another criterion Samsung considers is the vendors’ compliance with laws. If enterprises are slow in paying their workers, this could be a risk: workers may go on strike which would disrupt the supply sources of Samsung, which will force Samsung to find other solutions.
Environmental protection is also one of Samsung’s concerns. Any violations of environmental protection laws will affect its reputation.
