Foreign direct investment in Vietnam: An overview and analysis the determinants of spatial distribution across provinces

Vietnam has been quite sucessful in attracting FDI inflows since the inception of economic reform in 1986. The inflow of FDI has contributed significantly to the economic development of Vietnam. Still, the determinants of FDI inflow and its impacts on the economy of Vietnam are under-researched. In this paper we provide an overview of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam and attempt to review of the current status of economic research on the determinants of FDI and its impacts on the economy of Vietnam. Our regression analysis of the determinants of FDI spatial distribution across provinces points to the importance of market, labour and infrastructure in attracting FDI. Government policy as measured by the Provincial Competiveness Index (PCI), however, does not seem to be a significant factor at the provincial level. Foreign investors from differenct source countries seem to behave differently in chosing the location of investment.Foreign Direct Investment; Vietnam; multinationals; spatial distribution;

The impact of internal corporate social responsibility on organizational commitment: Evidence from Vietnamese service firms

This study examines the relationship between internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational commitment in the service sector in Vietnam. Results from a survey of 256 employees indicate that internal CSR has a positive and significant correlation with organizational commitment. More specifically, labor relations, health and safety, and training and education had a significant effect on organizational commitment whereas work–life balance and social dialogue have no significant association with organizational commitment. The authors also provide implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research

Hopfield lagrange network based method for economic emission dispatch problem of fixed-head hydro thermal systems

This paper proposes a Hopfield Lagrange Network (HLN) based method (HLNM) for economic emission dispatch of fixed head hydrothermal systems. HLN is a combination of Lagrange function and continuous Hopfield neural network where the Lagrange function is directly used as the energy function for the continuous Hopfield neural network. In the proposed method, HLN is used to find a set of non-dominated solutions and a fuzzy based mechanism is then exploited to determine the best compromise solution among the obtained ones. The proposed method has been tested on four hydrothermal systems and the obtained results in terms of total fuel cost, emission, and computational time have been compared to those other methods in the literature. The result comparisons have indicated that the proposed method is favorable for solving the economic emission dispatch problem of fixed-head hydrothermal systems

Knowledge Creation And Green Entrepreneurship: A Study Of Two Vietnamese Green Firms

This paper aims to advance the understanding and practice of knowledge-based management in Vietnam by studying two Vietnamese agricultural companies. It provides illustrative examples of how knowledge-based management, pursuing a vision that fosters creativity and innovation by employees, could ultimately fulfil the profitability objective of the business and at the same time add value to the community’s quality of life. Using the SECI model as the parameter for analysis, we found that knowledge creation processes were affected by a combination of leadership, teamwork and Ba, corporate culture, and human resource management. Our conclusion emphasises the need for future research to further examine the practice of knowledge-based management in cross-industry segments in Vietnam and in other countries with similar conditions

Distinguishing Antonyms and Synonyms in a Pattern-based Neural Network

Distinguishing between antonyms and synonyms is a key task to achieve high performance in NLP systems. While they are notoriously difficult to distinguish by distributional co-occurrence models, pattern-based methods have proven effective to differentiate between the relations. In this paper, we present a novel neural network model AntSynNET that exploits lexico-syntactic patterns from syntactic parse trees. In addition to the lexical and syntactic information, we successfully integrate the distance between the related words along the syntactic path as a new pattern feature. The results from classification experiments show that AntSynNET improves the performance over prior pattern-based methods.Comment: EACL 2017, 10 page

Developing high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of rapid and sustainable development: Realities and solutions

The world is undergoing rapid and transformative changes, with high-quality resources playing a pivotal role in driving significant economic and social advancements. Today, the competition among nations and businesses increasingly revolves around intellectual capacity and the knowledge embedded in products, commodities, and services factors that are underpinned by superior human resources. To achieve both swift and sustainable progress, countries globally are prioritizing the development of human resources, recognizing it as a strategic and pressing necessity amidst the backdrop of global economic integration. For Vietnam, developing high-quality human resources is crucial to enhancing its competitive edge and meeting the demands of the modern digital economy. This article delves into the challenges associated with cultivating high-quality human resources needed for rapid and sustainable development. It also offers solutions to nurture these resources in Vietnam for the near future. Theoretical research is conducted from both United Nations and Vietnamese perspectives within the framework of international economic integration. This research provides both theoretical and practical foundations for advancing high-quality human resources to support sustainable development goals in Vietnam
