Information literacy is a type of personal capacity, which demonstrates an individual’s ability to master the information world, exploit and use information effectively to deal with his/her living, studying and working needs. Information literacy is associated with the development of lifelong learning capacity and social inclusion for individuals. Therefore, information literacy has become increasingly important, becoming a popular topic in education research, especially in the current context of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Since the 70s of the 20th century, information literacy has been widely discussed and developed by educational institutions, especially higher education ones, in Western countries. Concepts, theoretical frameworks and practices for developing information literacy for learners have been established and mostly applied in Western countries. However, with a different educational context, such as the one in Vietnam, how should information literacy for university students be conceptualized and developed? This paper firstly presents an overview of how the concept of information literacy has been changed globally and those aspects that impact the way information literacy has been conceptualized and developed. Key points discussed are educational context, academic culture, teaching and learning practices. From that analysis, the paper proposes a concept of information literacy for students, which is in accordance with the academic culture of Vietnamese higher education.

The Vietnamese bourgeoisie was born in conjunction with the intrusion and establishment of French colonialism in Vietnam. The introduction of the new mode of production, i.e. capitalism helped a number of Vietnamese, who had a relatively large accumulated capital, transform and extend their businesses or invest in the new ventures. Others w ere self-made businessmen, who rose up by their entrepreneurship and their desire to enrich themselves as well as to transform the society. Bach Thai Buoi was a typical figure among the most prominent self-made bourgeoisies in Vietnam in the early twentieth century. By analyzing the business development and activities of Bach Thai Buoi, this article aims to highlight the entrepreneurship of the Vietnamese bourgeoisie in the early twentieth century. Attention is given to the historical context and business environment of Vietnam in the late colonial era. The birth and business activities of the bourgeoisie, particularly those with strong entrepreneurship and self-made spirit will be discussed in detail. Despite their strong economic power in comparison with other indigenous groups, the Vietnamese bourgeoisie was significantly subordinate to foreign capital, particularly the French and the Chinese. Fierce competition from foreign capital while lacking political and administrative supports and a leading ideological basis were the main reasons for the weakness of the Vietnamese bourgeoisie in the colonial era.

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship of workplace turnover of officers  with organizational commitment and job satisfaction at the Hanoi City Public Administration Centre. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the data provided by 246 officers working at the Hanoi City Public Administration Centre in order to assess the influence of organizational commitment and job satisfaction on workplace turnover. The results show a favorable correlation between organizational commitment and work satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction and organizational commitment are negatively correlated with the workplace turnover of officers. The result of the study suggested several important implications for the Hanoi City Public Administration Centre on how to increase organisational commitment, job satisfaction in order to reduce workplace turnover of officers.      

Abstract: Capital contribution in industrial property rights to inventions created in innovative startups in Vietnam is a controversial issue. The Vietnamese laws do not have specific regulations on this issue, which is a huge barrier in seeking a common voice between the investor and the patent owner. Therefore, a specific legal corridor is required in order to promote the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and to help ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the stakeholders contributing to startups. This paper focuses on analyzing and clarifying the bottlenecks on capital contribution in startups, and then, recommends a number of solutions to mitigate risks for stakeholders to contribute to the  developing of the Vietnamese economy. Keywords: Capital contribution, invention, innovative startups

The article uses the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI) and the Elasticity of Demand to evaluate the degree of concentration and competition of Vietnam's mobile telecommunications market. For the HHI calculation, the article uses revenue market share data. For estimation of price elasticity of demand, the article uses a regression model with aggregate data of the whole market. The estimation results show high HHI, suggesting high concentration of the Vietnam mobile market which can harm the competition in the market. The high estimated price elasticity of demand indicates that price is actually powerful tool of competition in Vietnam. This gives implications for regulatory bodies for regulation options applied in the market. Key words: Market concentration, Price elasticity of demand, Competition, Mobile telecommunications market.
