    Get PDF
    Entrepreneurship plays an indispensable role in the economic development and poverty reduction of emerging economies like Vietnam. The rapid development of technologies during the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) has a significant impact on business in every field, especially in the innovation-focused area of entrepreneurship. However, the topic of entrepreneurial activities with technology applications in Vietnam is under-researched. In addition, the body of literature regarding entrepreneurial finance tends to focus on advanced economies, while mostly neglecting the contextual differences in developing nations. Therefore, this research contributes to these topics by investigating the main characteristics of a high potential market for entrepreneurs in Vietnam, which is the English language training market (ELTM). It also aims at indicating the impacts of technology on the entrepreneurial firms within this market, with an emphasis on financing sources. To answer the research questions, this study employs a qualitative analysis and conducts 12 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs and researchers in the field. The key findings in our study highlight the main contributing factors to the growth of the market, both universally and context-specific for a developing nation like Vietnam. It also lists the leaders in each market segment and the industry’s potential profit margin. The results also show that most entrepreneurs in the ELTM utilized private sources of finance rather than external ones, such as bank loans. It again confirms the idea from previous works that even with the rapid development of the economic and technological landscape, entrepreneurial activities in general barely benefit from additional sources of funding. However, it also points out the distinct characteristics of the ELTM that may influence these financing issues; for example, English training services usually collect revenues from customers before delivering their classes. This is of advantage for entrepreneurs in this area and helps significantly reduce the financial barriers. These findings, which are among the first attempts to contribute to a better understanding of entrepreneurial opportunities in the Industry 4.0 in Vietnam, provide valuable insights for policymakers and entrepreneurs, as well as investors

    Get PDF
    Purpose: This study aims at examining the perceptions of various layers within a firm toward integrating Industry 4.0 applications in production. Methodology: We follow a case study approach to obtain detailed information about the selected firm. For this purpose, we focus on three sectors as machinery, food, and automotive spare parts having a strategic role in digital transformation. In total, 12 interviews with blue-collar workers, engineers, and managers are conducted in five different companies. Findings: The results of the study are twofold. As for the senior management layer and engineers, the adaptation of Industry 4.0 applications to the firm will increase the firm efficiency. As far as its effect on employment is considered, it has been determined that the concept is not fully understood, especially by blue-collar workers, and it is not known how it will contribute to production. Production line workers, therefore, think that they will experience the threat of losing their jobs with the implementation of Industry 4.0 applications. Originality: Despite its importance, the number of studies dealing with the difficulties, benefits, opportunities, and threats of adopting Industry 4.0 especially for developing countries is still few. This study, therefore, closes this gap by conducting a comprehensive study with various layers of the firm
