2 Weakness:
Bat Trang now lacks of investment for business development Entertainment activities are still quite simple Last week we spent a weekend to take a tour to Bat Trang, Just the activity of making our own pottery attract us Moreover, the infrastructure is still rudimentary Almost households there do their own small and spontaneity business Marketing has not quite effective
3 Opportunities:

to utilize science and technology to survive.The Fourth Industrial Revolution has opened
up many consumption channels for craft villages which can also sell their products online They have attached special importance to e-commerce and getting customers involved in product designing and patterning
4 Threats:
- Threats in economic:
+ In the context of globalization and international integration, domestic products will face stiff competition in the coming time; therefore the villages themselves need to create their
Trang 8own attraction through unique products to become famous brands.Through tours, craft villages can learn more about the aesthetic tastes of visitors from different countries to innovate technology for production as well as change and renovate designs of their unique products, particularly handicraft products
+ Bat Trang pottery village is operating at the household level, and rely on outdated technology, and as a result, will find it hard to fulfill large orders
+ Domestic businesses lack practical experience in competition while their regional counterparts have been competing for a long time That means when countries can freely penetrate each other’s market, they’ll be redoubtable rivals of Vietnamese craft enterprises.”
+ Some households use equity or borrow with high interest loan,role of State in preferential loans were too small, and it did not meet the need invillage development Householdsproduction is difficult to borrow big loanif they cannot show their force, and production scale in future

- Threats in social and cultural:
People in craft villages lack general knowledge about tourism and the ability to communicate with visitors
- Threats in technology:
+ Technical technology to produce products in craft villages, especially traditional craft villages, is often very primitive, backward, mainly using manual techniques The majority
of labor tools in craft villages are manual tools and single production technologies Many types of products with technology and techniques must rely entirely on skillful hands of workers although there is now mechanization and electrification step by step in production, but there are only a few Many jobs have the ability to mechanize some stages
in product production
