Technical Infrastructure Factors of the Enterprise

In the current conditions of limited production resources, to improve the business efficiency of enterprises in general, forestry enterprises in particular, human resources play a particularly important role because this is the direct resource that creates revenue and profit for enterprises. Talking about human resources means talking about the physical strength (health) and mental strength (working skills, professional qualifications, working experience, etc.) of employees. If an enterprise has abundant human resources with good physical strength, high qualifications, good working experience, and eagerness to learn, it will create favorable conditions for the company to expand production and business, increase revenue, improve labor productivity, increase profits, and vice versa, if an enterprise has human resources with low quality, it will cause many difficulties for enterprises. Therefore, to improve business efficiency, enterprises need to implement solutions well to improve the quality of human resources, ensuring sufficient quantity. Along with that, it is necessary to implement well and synchronously solutions to motivate workers and minimize the problem of "brain drain".

In addition, the labor organization structure is also a factor that greatly affects the business efficiency of the enterprise. The labor organization structure is understood as the arrangement and assignment of personnel, departments, and divisions of the enterprise. If an enterprise has a streamlined management structure, clear functions and tasks of the departments, no overlap, and reasonable labor arrangement according to the professional qualifications, work experience, and strengths of the employees, it will create great conditions to improve business efficiency and vice versa [20].

1.4.1.2. Level of corporate governance

This is a factor related to the leadership, thinking, and position arrangement of the business administrator. The administrator is the subject in the management system, the person who takes on certain positions in the enterprise's apparatus, controls the work of the departments and individuals under his authority and is responsible for the results. Therefore, this factor greatly affects the business efficiency of the enterprise. An administrator with good leadership ability, who knows how to plan, organize, control work, and knows how to communicate internally will create favorable conditions for the implementation of the enterprise's goals and vice versa. Therefore, to improve business efficiency, enterprises need to arrange the management apparatus from the top to the grassroots level in a reasonable manner.

ensure the necessary skills in expertise, personnel, and thinking for the enterprise's management apparatus [21].

1.4.1.3. Capital sources and level of capital management and use

Capital sources and the level of capital management and use are among the factors that greatly affect the business efficiency of enterprises. To improve business efficiency, enterprises need to improve the efficiency of capital use. To achieve that, based on strategies, plans and business plans, enterprises need to clearly plan and determine the amount of capital needed to put into the production and business process, the proportion of capital sources in the total capital that the enterprise mobilizes and uses in the production and business process must be reasonable. Along with that, it is necessary to well control loans, loan costs, equity capital, business investments, capital mobilization sources... to minimize capital stagnation and capital appropriation. From managing and using capital sources well, it will create good financial capacity for enterprises, improve business efficiency, thereby promoting enterprise development [27].

1.4.1.4. Technical infrastructure factors of the enterprise

This factor is understood as all the houses, yards, means of transport, machinery, equipment, technology, etc. to serve the production and business process of the enterprise. When the enterprise has good facilities, it will create favorable conditions for the enterprise to implement business plans, thereby achieving business goals. However, to improve business efficiency, the problem is that the enterprise needs to exploit the technical facilities of the enterprise well, along with that, it is necessary to regularly innovate, repair and upgrade the facilities in a reasonable manner.

1.4.2. Objective factors

There are many external objective factors that affect the business performance of enterprises such as competitors, supply sources and prices of raw materials, issues related to state policies and laws, and socio-economic factors [21, 22]. Specifically:

1.4.2.1. Competitors

This is a factor that directly affects the business results of the enterprise, it is related to the market share, revenue, and profit of the enterprise. In the context of Vietnam integrating more deeply into the world economy, enterprises not only have to face domestic competitors but also have to compete fiercely with enterprises.

foreign countries. Therefore, to survive and develop, businesses need to carefully research competitors and market demand, find measures to control costs, improve product quality, increase revenue, increase profits, or in other words, need to improve business efficiency of the business.

1.4.2.2. Sources of supply and prices of raw materials

In the production and business process of enterprises, raw materials are the factors that make up the product, often having a large proportion in the production and business costs of the product. Therefore, if the cost of raw materials is high, it will make the production and business costs large, affecting the cost, selling price, revenue and profit of the enterprise. However, the supply source and price fluctuations of raw materials are factors outside the enterprise, and it is difficult for the enterprise to control this factor. Therefore, to improve business efficiency, enterprises need to analyze economic fluctuations, price fluctuations, and choose a guaranteed supply source to build reasonable business plans.

1.4.2.3. Customers

Customers are those who directly consume products, generate revenue for businesses, and determine the existence and development of businesses in a market economy. Due to differences in age, interests, living conditions, education, gender, etc., each customer group has its own characteristics in terms of demand for the business's products and services. Therefore, to generate revenue, businesses need to carefully research the needs, tastes, living conditions, psychology, etc. of customers to create products and services that meet those needs and tastes.

1.4.2.4. State legal policies

Enterprises operate under a market mechanism with regulation and management by the state. When operating, enterprises must comply with the legal system prescribed by the state such as labor law, environmental protection law, tax law, information technology, communications... Along with that, the state also builds and implements a system of policies that greatly affect the operation of enterprises. Therefore, small changes in state legal policies affect the production and business of enterprises.

1.4.2.5. Socio-economic factors

This is a factor that can become an opportunity or a risk for the business activities of the enterprise. Economic factors include: economic growth rate, bank interest rates, economic policies of the state... They not only affect the business performance of the enterprise but also affect the micro environment of the enterprise. In the era of open economy, free competition as today requires each enterprise to have a certain position to ensure against negative impacts from the environment, on the other hand, economic factors are relatively broad, so enterprises need to be selective to identify the specific impacts that most directly affect the enterprise, thereby having solutions to limit negative impacts.

In particular, for forestry enterprises, in addition to the task of economic development, there is another main task, which is the social task. Due to the characteristics of the production and business areas of forestry enterprises, which are mainly in the midland and mountainous areas, it is also the place where ethnic minorities live. Therefore, social factors greatly affect the business efficiency of enterprises. When building business plans, in addition to calculating economic efficiency, enterprises need to calculate social efficiency such as attracting the participation of the local community in the business process, creating jobs and income for local people, or in other words, enterprises need to reasonably balance between economic and social goals.

1.4.2.6. Natural environmental factors

Due to the business characteristics of forestry enterprises with long cycles, high risks, large scale, the business object is forest trees, so it depends a lot on natural factors. This characteristic has significantly affected the situation of production organization, management, and use of resource factors in the production and business process of enterprises.

First of all, the investment capital for forest plantation business is very large but is stagnant for a long time, the circulation speed is slow, the circulation and recovery time is long, the risk and cost of capital use are high due to the long production cycle. Therefore, enterprises have difficulty in improving the efficiency of capital use, leading to an impact on the business efficiency of enterprises.

Because the production object of the enterprise is forest trees, mainly taking place in the natural environment, fluctuations in natural factors such as light, wind speed,

Rainfall, temperature, humus, slope of the hill... greatly affect the growth and development of trees, thereby affecting the output, revenue and profit of the enterprise. In fact, if any enterprise is located in an area with favorable natural conditions, relatively fertile land, the growth and development of the forest will be fast, bringing high business efficiency and vice versa. Along with that, due to the long production cycle, many forest areas are close to the exploitation period, but due to fluctuations in natural factors such as flash floods, forest fires, it can destroy the entire business results of the enterprise. Therefore, it greatly affects the business efficiency of enterprises.

Next, because the main operating areas are in the midland and mountainous areas with difficult socio-economic conditions, businesses have to make large investments, many additional costs arise, increasing costs (training costs for people, building roads into forests that are difficult to exploit, transportation, etc.), leading to a decrease in business profits.
