Trong bối cảnh toàn cầu hóa phát triển nhanh hiện nay, hoạt động của nền kinh tế không chỉ dừng lại ở nội bộ các địa phương, mà còn mở rộng tạo mối liên hệ chặt chẽ với tất cả các ngành và lĩnh vực ở nhiều địa phương khác nhau, thậm chí toàn cầu. Do vậy, phát triển kinh tế không chỉ gói gọn trong một địa phương mà cần mở rộng, đặt trong khuôn khổ phát triển của một vùng nhất định, qua đó phát huy được thế mạnh của từng thành viên. Bài viết sử dụng phương pháp nghiên cứu định tính để tổng hợp kinh nghiệm phát triển vùng của một số quốc gia châu Á (Hàn Quốc, Trung Quốc, Indonesia) dựa trên việc phân tích các yếu tố chính giúp hình thành và phát triển vùng qua đó tổng hợp một số bài học kinh nghiệm trong chính sách thúc đẩy liên kết vùng tại Việt Nam: (1) Phát huy vai trò của Chính phủ trong điều phối, hỗ trợ liên kết vùng; (2) Nâng cao sự đồng thuận của các địa phương trong vùng; (3) Thúc đẩy sự vận hành của thị trường.

Over the past decades, Vietnam has increased trade volume and expanded its trade partners. It is often argued that the exchange rate policy should be revised to improve international trade. By applying the gravity model with international trade data between Vietnam and her world partners, this study shows that exchange rate devaluation may not help. More important is to have a more flexible exchange rate and to upgrade domestic production capacity as well as to implement structure reform.

This paper focuses on the effects of individual-level factors on labour migration in Viet Nam. In this study, the author use the descriptive statistics and quantitative methods using the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey 2018 data. The research illustrates that the migratory probability of female is lower than male; the higher levels of education lead to increase the migratory probability of people; the married group seem to decrease in migration, while the migration of divorced group grew. Furthermore, the housing area increases higher lead to decrease in migration. 

This paper examines the post-announcement stock performance of U.S. public firms which issue equity privately, analyzed by firm and transaction characteristics. We find that firms which issue equity privately with the use of common equity do perform significantly better than if they would with the use of convertibles. Furthermore, firms with a relative high investment in R&D, e.g. biotechnology firms, do significantly outperform the market. However, a substantial part of the outperformance is linked to industry specific factors. No evidence is found to confirm that private placements enable entrenchment for incumbent management. 

Employing the data for the period before the Asian Financial Crisis 1997-1998, between Jan 1987 and Dec 1996 under the light of the methodology proposed by Fama and McBeth (1973), the research investigates the relationship between the stock returns in the Stock Exchange of Thailand and some economic fundamentals including changes in exchange rates, industrial production growth rates, unexpected changes in inflation, changes in the current account balance, differences between domestic interest rates and international interest rates, changes in domestic interest rate. The test’s results show that, within the scope of the methodology and data employed, the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) does hold in the very emerging stock market of Thailand, while the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) fails to do so. While changes in exchange rates consistently explain the stock returns, there is one chance the exchange rates and the industrial growth rates together systematically affect the stock returns. The negative risk premiums associated with these factors shows investors in the SET are risk averse and tend to hedge against risks of changes in fundamentals. This research is an important contribution to the study of an emerging market stock price movements, which provides a base line for comparing with stock market price behaviours after the devastating crisis in Thailand in 1997-1998.

With the development of new technologies, such as Web pages, Apps or social network, the language learning environment seems to be more diverse and interesting. The aim of this paper is to explore the use of Microsoft PowerPoint in a Thuong Mai classroom to help students’ English vocabulary acquisition. In the experimental group, the instructor used Microsoft PowerPoint lessons to teach English vocabulary while the instructor used the traditional semantic-map method to teach English vocabulary in the control group. The results showed that at the end of the semester, students who received the Microsoft PowerPoint vocabulary teaching instruction performed better on the post-test. Also, the survey found out that students agreed on using technologies in the classroom can help language learning. That is, using Microsoft PowerPoint in language teaching can not only enhances students’ learning outcomes, but also increases students’ learning motivation.  

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a core-required part in managing supply chain successfully. It has been considered a useful tool in connecting all the tiers through the entire supply chain by transferring the information, involving all the tiers into developing new products, proposing innovation and focusing on the demand of customers. This paper reviews previous frameworks in implementing ERP to identify core elements in deploying ERP. Base on the critical aspects a conceptual framework for implementing ERP in global environment is proposed. I conclude with a discussion of future research and application in this area.

According to the traditional cost behavior, costs are categorized as fixed or variable costs. Variable costs change proportionately with changes in the activity driver. Nevertheless, empirical evidence shows that cost increase with activity increase is more rapid than cost decrease with activity decrease. This phenomenon is named as sticky cost. In this paper, we measure the cost stickiness of each company and answer the research question that whether sticky costs affect the profitability of listed companies in Vietnam. We find that selling costs, general costs, and administration costs of listed companies in Vietnam are sticky in period 2011 – 2015, and the situation is more serious than the case of US and Brazil. Our analysis shows that the stickiness of selling and administration costs affects the earnings per share forecast. The paper suggests some recommendations for managers to avoid the negative effects of sticky cost on business performance.

Technology and innovation have been recognized as important and crucial to reducing poverty, generating wealth and bringing social progress for Vietnam. But the result is different in different sectors. Craft villages are composed mostly of small and micro household business characterized by family ownership and heavy involvement of the family members. Many clusters have achieved great success thank to applying innovation in production and business. What enabled small producers to introduce new technology into innovation process? How has new technology been developed, adapted and disseminated? There could be an investigation of innovation in informal micro and small enterprises with a view to offer alternatives. Actually, recent research shows changes in competitive capabilities, living conditions and the environment in informally organized craft villages. We propose to look at some examples of small-scale craft villages: Bat Trang and Duong Lieu in northern Vietnam. Both were identified as innovation industries based on the three common key elements: newness, value creation and innovative process.
