Domestic businesses awarded for excellence
VNGOP – Over a hundred Vietnamese businesses received awards for excellence in product quality and performance at the Việt Nam’s Quality Award 2007 in Hà Nội on December 9.
The awards were a significant achievement for the 131 enterprises, Deputy PM Nguyễn Thiện Nhân said as he handed over the prizes. “With this recognition for quality of services and products, these honorable enterprises have proved their firm foothold in the international and domestic market as the country embraces economic integration.”
Deputy PM Nhân suggested the Ministry of Science and Technology help enterprises adapt to international business standards and honor enterprises and individuals who have high quality products and services.
The Deputy PM said he hoped the award would become more popular among Vietnamese enterprises and asked the ministry to expand the criteria of candidate eligibility for non-business sectors such as health and other public services.
Businesses have to adhere to seven criteria before they are eligible for the annual award, including leadership, strategy plan, customer and market planning, information and operation analysis, human resource development, management and business result.
The award is also a part of the International Asia Pacific Quality Award established by the Asia Pacific Quality Organization.
