Logistics is one of the important factors to ensure the availability of goods, allowing retail businesses to deliver and consume goods quickly. However, logistics in Vietnamese retail businesses is identified as being limited, reducing the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises. Using qualitative research methods (observation, document synthesis, interview and case studies), the paper points out some problems in the logistic activities of Vietnamese retail businesses and analyzes experience in logistic activities of the Vinmart store chain. Based on these results, the paper proposes some useful solutions to improve logistic activities and enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese retail businesses in the context of integration.
