I. Introduction
In terms of total assets, credit, deposits, and network of operations, Vietcombank
(VCB) is the fourth largest bank in the Vietnamese banking market. VCB, on the
other hand, is the market leader in foreign exchange trading, international
payment, and card operations. Vietcombank now has a network of bank
branches, transaction locations, and ATMs throughout Vietnam, as well as
various leadership positions, thousands of managers and workers, and additional
offices in other countries, after more than 50 years of growth. Vietcombank
requires proper and effective operational equipment, as well as dominating,
controlling, and operating, in order to have such strong growth, nationwide
popularity, and progressively expansion to the rest of the world. This research
will examine the relationship between management activities in traditional and
modern methods of business management to determine the impact on the
company's effectiveness. Furthermore, the paper will demonstrate how leadership
and management have influenced the company's work culture.

II. MAJOR FINDINGS
TASK 1:
1. Leadership in Vietcombank:
Leadership, according to Ngambi et al. (2010) and Ngambi (2011), as referenced
in Jeremy et al. (2011), is a process of influencing others' commitment toward
fulfilling their full potential in attaining a value-added, shared vision with passion
and integrity. In an organization, leadership style is one of the variables that
influence whether individuals are interested in and committed to the organization
(Obiwuru et al., 2011). According to Michael (2011), leadership has a direct
cause and effect link with the success of organizations. Leaders define ideals,
tolerance for cultural change, and staff motivation.
In Vietcombank, leadership is defined as the activity of leading a group of people
or an organization, which includes defining and sharing a vision, giving
information, knowledge, and means, coordinating activities, and resolving
problems among members. Leaders in the past and present, on the other hand, are
all about using the authority at their disposal to influence the behaviors of
subordinates in order to achieve a specific goal.
3
The old Vietcombank strategy is behavioral because there are numerous stories
and concerns about firms' delayed responsiveness to market changes, as well as
their tenacious aversion to innovation and creativity. This means he has complete
decision-making authority and leadership over his followers (Kelly & Cole,
2020). Team members and followers are rarely consulted when it comes to
regulations, processes, and collective goals. Furthermore, "the principles and
beliefs are mirrored in all departments' adherence to rules, processes, and
"control" (Vietcombank Case Study, 2022). When Vietcombank was focused on
foreign trade, this technique may have worked.
4
The least preferred coworker (LPC) scale, which gauges a manager's leadership
orientation, is the key component of Fiedler's Contingency Theory. The process
also provides a consistent structure for managing a firm's essential activities.
However, in order for the process to work, an appropriate organizational
structure must be in place to guide all personnel by clearly identifying formal
reporting ties that ultimately regulate the workflow. The head office concentrates
on functional operations to assist the branches/transaction offices/companies in
carrying out their operational activities under this new management paradigm.
They improve creative and productive teamwork by encouraging communication
between employees and management. This improves the leaders' task structure,
which is high. The division of small chunks, on the other hand, will reduce
leaders' power.
Consider the case of Mr. Nguyen Trung Dung. Vietcombankers may notice Mr.
Dung traversing the corridors, conversing with personnel at all levels and in all
divisions. Most importantly, he listened to what staff thought needed to be done.
He received numerous stories and concerns about corporations being sluggish to
respond to market changes, strong resistance to new ways of thinking, and failing
to listen to what customers want. This enhances the fact that the leader-member
is high.
During the developmental stage, the behavior approach failed for the same
reasons. After the company has grown and stabilized, it is critical to expand and
adapt to society's innovative expectations. This technique becomes ineffective,
causing the company to become obsolete in contrast to competing companies.
5
When a leader focuses solely on internal operations while ignoring market trends,
the leader will slip behind the competition and fail to meet client expectations.
Then, as this organization became open and equitable, it was no longer fit, and
adopting a new type of leadership is a critical step to dramatically boost the
company's performance.
2. Management in Vietcombank:
2.1 Old management approach in Vietcombank
The classical view promotes physical and economic needs of employees over job
happiness and social needs (Henry, 1916). It proposes monetary incentives, wage
increases, and other financial incentives to encourage employees to be more
productive (Henry, 1916). Organizational efficiency improves when employees
work hard and perform to their full ability (Henry, 1916). The adherence to rules,
procedures, and "control" in all departments reflects the ideals and beliefs. The
traditional management philosophy entails an assembly line perspective of the
workplace in which major tasks are broken down into smaller, easier-to-complete
ones. Workers are aware of their responsibilities and often specialize in a single
field. Vietcombank before it divided very small job parts for the employee doing
for the main objective that they can do well and handle well in their field as they
divide a lot of small part of the whole organization structure (figure 1)

would not listen to any comments or recommendations, which could lower
Vietcombank's job satisfaction. That might consider a reasonable reason why Mr.
Dung thinks that the old ways of doing things were too out of date.

strategy for Vietcombank in the past – when the company was still young – but
this style of management approach is no longer appropriate for this organization.
Adopting a new management approach improves work efficiency, control
balance, and the company's atmosphere. Many contingency elements have been
cited by study writers, but size, strategy, technology, and environment continue
to emerge as the most important in determining the structure and operation of
organizations (Robbins, 2004; Cole, 2004; Donaldson, 2001).
TASK 2:
1. Leadership and management styles in different situations
1.1 In the old approach
Mr. Dung roamed the corridors, interacted with workers from all levels and
departments, and listened to their ideas about what needed to be done. As a
result of his acts, he has heard various experiences and concerns about firms
being slow to adapt to market changes, obstinately resisting new ways of doing
things, and failing to listen to what customers want. The former Vietcombank
General Director clearly has the ability to make all decisions and limit
employee engagement. This is one of the characteristics of autocratic
leadership: autocratic leaders make decisions based on their own views and
judgements, and they rarely accept the viewpoints of their subordinates. (Jony,
et al., 2019). Employees of the firm are only permitted to carry out their given
jobs without the ability to express their opinions. This leads to various
disagreements among employees regarding how leaders perform in the
organization, diminishing employee engagement and leading the company's
success to fall short of society expectations.
CEO Dung's behavior differs from what past executives were supposed to have
done. He is willing to communicate with employees at all levels of the
organization. He emphasizes teamwork, with several project teams and task
10
groups in place to address tasks like new product or process development. This
demonstrates his democratic leadership style, in which he listens to employees'
views and allows them to suggest new routes for the company.
11
design is ideal for Vietcombank's present state of digitalization and customer
service development. Vietcombank's domestic and global position illustrates
that the company's management employs an effective leadership style.
2. Culture of Vietcombank
With a large and long-standing business such as VCB, the ecosystem within
the organization is one of the most essential components that contributes to
success. The VCB culture was born and grew year by year, becoming the new
lifestyle of the VCB employees and becoming familiar with them. The culture
is formed as a result of leadership and management theories, organizational
history, and organizational kinds.
Vietcombank, as one of the most prestigious banks in Vietnam and the area,
conforms to international standards in all of its commercial activities. This is
also evident in the building of the logo design concept in Vietcombank's new
brand identity - altered to be more perfect.

13
values, corporate culture is established by the enterprise's employees' loyalty,
diligence, and innovation, as well as their behavior and interactions with upper
and lower levels as a family. a large family To promote strong human values,
VCB employees always put themselves in the shoes of the target audience,
such as customers and colleagues, to properly comprehend and come up with
sensible answers.
14
supporting partners in better understanding, sharing, and implementing
business. To do this, the corporation sets core principles such as independence,
norm, consistency, sustainability, and humanity to guide and build the firm.
Since people come first, the company consistently fosters friendliness and
sharing in order to improve the quality of services and the working
environment. The company's power structure transformed as a result of the
redesign; teamwork is encouraged; the line manager and employees worked
closely together on a daily basis; workers from various expert areas also met to
address company-wide challenges. Managers exercise control over the firm's
and divisions' actions by enforcing certain regulations and policies.
Size: Vietcombank has evolved significantly and has become a larger firm over
time. When we compare the entire assets of Vietcombank in 2002 and 2020,
we can see the massive expansion of the company's scale after 20 years of
operation. Vietcombank's total assets were 81.495 billion VND in 2002 and
reached a peak of 1.326.230 billion VND in 2020. (Vietcombank Case Study,
2022). The organizational structure of a corporation becomes increasingly
complex as it grows in size.
15
Furthermore, in order to achieve responsibilities, managers and employees are
encouraged to speak openly and honestly. Vietcombank's commitment to
training and development fosters positive employee interactions. This
illustrates the bank's commitment to helping all employees at all stages of their
careers extend and enhance their skill sets. They said in their core value that
they desire to maintain their status and professionalism, which influences their
organizational culture.
Over the past 50 years, there has been an unprecedented development in the
operational environment and made radical demands on the art and culture of
Vietcombank.

organization together.
III. Conclusion
With half a century of development, Vietcombank has created not only a strong
bank in many aspects, a prestigious and modern bank, close and sharing; but also
a culture, a Vietcombank character with its own characteristics, very proud, a
personality, a Vietcombank culture with very valuable characteristics: Trust,
Standards, Willingness to Change New, Sustainable, and Humanistic. That is
Vietcombank's distinct competitive advantage, the ability of Vietcombank to
remain confident in the face of adversity and remain firmly on the path of
progress.
