INTRODUCTION


Since April 1, 2007, according to the International Economic Integration Agreement, US and other banks will be allowed to establish 100% foreign-owned branches in Vietnam and these branches will enjoy national treatment because Vietnam has joined the WTO. Thus, Vietnamese commercial banks will face more competitive pressure from foreign banks that have been operating for hundreds of years, with strengths in capital, technology, management experience, etc. It is predicted that this will be a period of fierce competition but also an opportunity for domestic commercial banks to take advantage of opportunities to develop both in breadth and depth.

The development of banking business in the context of increasingly fierce competition shows the importance of marketing activities in general and brand building and promotion activities in particular, and this is an indispensable goal in the development strategy of Vietnamese commercial banks in the current period.

In such a fiercely competitive environment, the strong will be the winner. To do so, Vietnamese commercial banks need to implement a series of solutions to improve their competitiveness to survive. One of the important solutions is to build, promote and sustainably develop the bank brand.

As an officer working in the banking industry, I boldly researched and conducted my Master's Thesis in Economics with the topic: "Building and developing


sustainable development of the Vietnamese commercial bank brand in the integration period".

The research purpose of the topic is to reflect the current situation, opportunities, challenges, advantages, limitations, and reasons for the existence of Vietnamese commercial banks in the process of international integration of the banking industry, thereby proposing a number of solutions to build, promote and sustainably develop the brand of Vietnamese commercial banks in domestic and foreign markets.

The content of the thesis is researched using systematic, comparative, objective, historical, specific methods, collecting information as well as analyzing trends in presentation.

The structure of the thesis includes 3 chapters:

- Chapter 1: “General theory of branding”

- Chapter 2: "Current status of brand building and development of Vietnamese commercial banks"

- Chapter 3: "Solutions to build and develop sustainable brands of Vietnamese commercial banks in the integration period"

Due to limitations in time, documents and personal experience, the thesis is inevitably flawed and limited. We look forward to receiving comments from teachers, colleagues and interested people.
