The conference addressed contemporary challenges in economics and finance, offering a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and academic discourse. By providing a supportive environment for young researchers, the conference contributed to the development of future academic leaders. Overview of ICBF 2024 Given the growing urgency of climate change and environmental degradation, the conference placed significant emphasis on sustainable development in the realm of economics and finance. The Institute for Business Research (IBR), which is actively conducting research on the financial system's role in energy transition and the digital transformation of Vietnamese businesses by 2045, played a pivotal role in shaping the conference agenda. Professor Jonathan Batten from RMIT University emphasized the significance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and ESG criteria in the global context. He argued that there is an increasing need for research that goes beyond traditional topics like Net Zero, Green Bonds, and Blockchain, emphasizing the practical benefits of initiatives aligned with the SDGs, particularly in addressing climate change, poverty, and inequality. Professor Jonathan Batten (RMIT University, Australia) Professor Aviral Tiwari from Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (IIMBG)  focused on the correlation between climate change and real estate tokens, highlighting both physical and transition risks. He argued that any changes in real estate tokens have a significant impact on climate change indicators. Additionally, he emphasized the potential of diversification and risk mitigation strategies to manage climate-related volatility in real estate token portfolios. Professor Aviral Tiwari (Institute of Management Bodh Gaya, India) Professor Siong Hook Law from Universiti Putra Malaysia discussed the impact of economic uncertainty on income inequality in developing countries with varying levels of financial inclusion. He argued that economic uncertainty can actually reduce income inequality in countries with higher levels of financial inclusion. This topic has garnered significant interest among scholars due to the increasing economic uncertainty in the current global context. Professor Siong Hook Law (Universiti Putra, Malaysia) Professor Hooy Chee Wooi from Universiti Sains Malaysia delved into how CEOs balance the goal of maximizing corporate profits with the demands of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agendas. His research suggests that CEO power, including ownership, expertise, and reputational power, is positively correlated with greater management risk-taking and negatively correlated with corporate sustainability. Professor Hooy Chee Wooi (Universiti Sains, Malaysia) Delving deeper into the topic, Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak highlighted the crucial role of education in preparing future leaders by inculcating the principles of Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). He argued that equipping future leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop policies, allocate resources, and drive innovation can foster transformative change, contributing to economic growth, sustainable development, and improved quality of life. In particular, investing in education and technology can bridge the gap between developed and developing countries, promoting equitable growth and enhancing global competitiveness. Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia) Professor Gary Campbell from the University of Michigan highlighted the apparent contradiction between mining activities and the goals of a circular economy. With dwindling ore grades and increasing environmental damage, the extraction of non-renewable minerals, which are crucial for renewable energy and green technologies, poses a significant challenge. He argued that government intervention is necessary to steer the market towards more desirable outcomes. Professor Gary Campbell (University of Michigan, U.S) Professor Vo Xuan Vinh's research highlights the critical role of green bonds in addressing global challenges such as energy market volatility and the need for sustainable investment. By financing projects in renewable energy, green transportation, and greenhouse gas reduction, green bonds not only mitigate environmental impact but also create attractive investment opportunities. However, developing a robust green bond market in Vietnam requires concerted efforts from the government, businesses, and investors, including a comprehensive legal framework, increased investor awareness, and a diverse range of green bond products. Speakers participate in discussion about sustainable development One of the highlights of the ICBF 2024 conference was the opportunity to meet with editors from renowned international journals. This provided researchers with valuable insights into publication standards and processes, as well as practical advice on improving their research. Distinguished editors such as Professor Jonathan Batten (Emerging Markets Review), Professor Brian Lucey (International Review of Economics & Finance), Professor Gary Campbell (Resources Policy) Professor Marcin Staniewski (Contemporary Economics); Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock (Finance & Economics Readings); Professor Aviral Tiwari (International Journal of Emerging Markets); Professor Siong Hook Law (The International Journal of Economics and Management); Professor Muhammad Shahbaz (Journal of Environmental Management); Professor Hooy Chee Wooi (Capital Markets Review) and Professor Daniel Balsalobre Lorente (Sustainable Cities and Society) shared their expertise and experiences. These sessions and workshops facilitated interactions between presenters and editors, enhancing the chances of publishing in top-tier journals. A session to meet the editors from renowned international journals ICBF 2024 received over 200 paper submissions. After a rigorous review process by the Scientific Committee, approximately 80 high-quality research papers were selected for presentation at the conference. Within the framework of ICBF 2024, there were 7 plenary sessions and 40 parallel sessions covering a wide range of topics, including business administration, finance, management, banking, behavioral finance, accounting, business, international business, financial markets, finance in emerging markets, international trade, marketing, leadership, public administration, economics, business law, and tourism.

UEH is pleased to welcome a delegation of lecturers and students to exchange and implement the “Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development – SEED” project from July 25, 2024 to August 2, 2024. Following the success of the SEED 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland co-organized the Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development – SEED 2024 with the goal of sustainable development, applying technology to develop agricultural areas with sustainable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility in Vinh Long province. The SEED 2024 project created interest and participation from students from College of Business UEH, Ho Chi Minh City Banking University (BUH), University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH-VNUHCM), Foreign Trade University (FTU), Ubon Ratchathani University, Kasetsart University (Thailand), Latrobe University (Australia), Trinity University (USA), and University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (Switzerland). In preparation for the program, the SEED students were given supplementary information to provide an overview of Vietnam's economic development, covering topics such as economic growth, policies, industry, and difficulties and possibilities. The program's speakers also discussed the current state of social entrepreneurship in Vietnam, which has seen the emergence of many unique social entrepreneurship models, ranging from projects providing education to children in remote areas to initiatives to protect the environment and improve living conditions for disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the students were taught about business models, tactics, and financial management for the project, all of which play an important role in determining the organization's strategy and long-term success. Beginning their 5-day excursion in Vinh Long province, SEED 2024 lecturers and students visited, observed, interviewed, and learnt about the area's overall economic development status, particularly agricultural development, traditional food production, local tourism, and so on. The students listened to and asked questions of householders, business owners, and local officials, who answered questions about the current state and difficulties of the agricultural economy, support policies, technology deployment assistance, future development directions for agricultural products or industries, and so on. Students raised awareness of the current situation and difficulties that businesses in the area experience through discussing and answering questions, recognized the importance of agriculture in the economy and people's lives, and recognized significant problems that need to be addressed. In addition to studying, the SEED 2024 lecturers and students took part in a variety of interesting cultural experiences, like painting acrylic on conical hats, touring the Temple of Literature, experiencing traditional music, and producing banh xeo in Vinh Long province. Towards the end of the project, student groups will present their ideas and proposed business models with the goal of improving the local business environment while also demonstrating community responsibility, along with comments and assessments from professionals in the field. Experts will assess the project's economic and social impact, taking into account success indicators as well as the real impact on the community and environment. These remarks not only help local businesses enhance their current condition but also provide more experience for students, laying the groundwork for future projects and activities, guaranteeing that sustainable startup efforts can continue to expand and have long-term good consequences. The SEED 2024 initiative concluded with students learning about social entrepreneurship, social responsibility, and cultural and social values throughout their study in Vinh Long. Not only that, but the program will take the students through moments and emotions associated with the hospitality of the Vietnamese people and country. The obstacles and challenges they faced when they first joined the program are now behind; by overcoming them, the students gained new experiences for themselves. The project expects that these pleasant experiences and feelings will boost students' motivation, help them build their professions, and contribute favorably to long-term economic development and the community. Students can better understand their country by discussing academic and social challenges through collaboration and teamwork. From here, each learner develops more realistic insights on the model of a global citizen.

Thanks to the efforts to implement this model, many higher education institutions in Ho Chi Minh City have “changed their appearance”, creating a more friendly and dynamic look. Students of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City participating in waste classification and recycling activities. (Photo: Coordinator) “Green Campus” is a project developed within the multidisciplinary and sustainable university strategy of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City for the period 2021-2030. The project is implemented according to the “Living Lab” model. This is an open innovation ecosystem operated with a user-centric orientation, making the most of the connection between stakeholders, with the core element being the integration of research, education, innovation, and technology to solve real-life problems. In the first phase, the university piloted the implementation of sustainable waste management measures at Nguyen Van Linh campus, aiming for a “zero waste” lifestyle for the entire system. The set goals were that 90% of organic waste would be processed on-site; 95% of recyclable waste was collected and sent to recycling facilities; the amount of single-use plastic waste was reduced by 30%, and 70% of students and staff would gradually change their behavior in practicing a green lifestyle. At that time, the university focused on implementing a communication campaign to raise awareness and change behavior about waste classification using the 3R model (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) with many seminars, exhibitions, competitions, movements, etc. In July 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City officially issued the "Green Campus" Practice Regulations. According to this regulation, stakeholders are encouraged to carry out actions listed as minimizing waste discharge, practicing waste classification at source, recycling or reusing discarded materials, pacticing resource saving, increasing the use of stairs, or participating in public transportation. In particular, the “Green Practice Station at UEH” is an area for practicing waste classification before disposal according to the regulations. From October 2023 to March 2024, four tons of recyclable waste were classified by the school and sent to the collection and recycling unit. Nearly 50% of the staff and students at this university have been aware of the regulations on Green University and the 3R model. The school representative stated: In the next period, we will continue to promote solutions to promote green living, to improve the effectiveness of the models, and to maintain comprehensive sustainable development.

It is obvious that the advent of AI brings many benefits to education, from enhancing learning experiences to improving educational management efficiency. In English language education, AI plays a crucial role in creating dynamic learning environments that enhance personalized learning. However, the application of AI also comes with challenges such as ethical issues, data privacy, and the risk of over-reliance on automated systems. Accordingly, VietTESOL 2024 delves into the potential and application of AI tools in building personalized and flexible learning experiences that go beyond geographical limits. Experts will share experience, develop skills in evaluating and selecting appropriate AI tools, ensuring they meet teaching objectives and learners’ needs. Participants will gain insights into the multifaceted impacts of AI in English language teaching, and seize opportunities for innovation in teaching methods and curriculum design. Presentations, workshops, and technology fairs will provide practical strategies for teachers to address challenges when integrating AI into the classroom, thereby enhancing learner interaction, personalizing instruction, and optimizing the educational process. With the knowledge and tools acquired, teachers can effectively make use of the power of AI, making it a valuable support tool rather than an obstacle in the teaching environment.

These investments are primarily funded through equity, bank loans, and government grants. Leasing was identified as a critical fallback financing option for firms facing barriers such as complex loan procedures, high collateral requirements, and increased loan rejection rates. Furthermore, the study found that firms often use a mix of leasing and other financing sources, demonstrating a flexible approach to asset acquisition. Dr. Duong Tuan Kiet presented the research paper There were several key takeaways: Increased Fixed Asset Investments: Weather-affected firms tend to increase investments in machinery, equipment, and real estate. Primary Financing Sources: Equity, bank loans, and government grants are the main sources of financing. Leasing as Fallback: Leasing serves as a critical alternative for firms encountering external financing challenges. Flexible Strategies: Firms often use a mix of leasing and other financing methods to acquire fixed assets. Assoc. Prof. Mai Hoai, Director of the SFI, highlighted several key takeaways The seminar featured significant contributions and professional insights from lecturers/researchers, lively enriching the discussion session with their expertise: The importance of insurance contracts in mitigating the financial risks associated with weather-induced losses, emphasizing their role in providing financial stability for firms. The sensitivity analysis of the study, taking detailed notes on how outliers affect the outcomes, thus ensuring the reliability of the findings. The impact of tax policy on financing decisions, discussing how tax incentives and regulations can influence firms' choices in investing in fixed assets and their overall financial strategies.

Overview of the seminar Speaking at the seminar, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc shared that developing domestic journals integrating with countries in the region and worldwide is an important task. In the future, researchers can publish articles in domestic journals with international quality and standards. The Deputy Minister informed that there are currently 32 journals under higher education institutions managed by the Ministry of Education and Training (excluding member schools). Based on the position, role and importance of journals, in the past, the Ministry of Education and Training has supported 18 journals to develop plans to meet ACI standards; 02 journals to meet Scopus standards. He expressed his joy that at the end of the implementation, 2 journals - Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and Journal of Economics and Development of the National Economics University have completed the goal of being indexed in Scopus. 08 journals have completed the goal of being indexed in ACI. The remainder are awaiting results to be announced from ACI in 2024. Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc at the seminar Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trong Hoai - Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies, shared some experiences of being indexed in Web of Science and Scopus of JABES, and made some policy suggestions. JABES was officially recognized as part of the prestigious international database of Web of Science (WoS) in May 2021. More importantly, on March 6, 2022, after a long and persistent effort, along with a strict registration, appraisal, evaluation and review process, JABES was officially indexed in Scopus. Most recently, in 2023, SCImago and the Scopus databases ranked prestigious journals in Scopus, and JABES was rated as Q1. This result once again affirms the academic reputation of JABES in the domestic and international scientific community. Based on the specific situation of JABES, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trong Hoai presented 6 important experiences that need to be prepared to be officially indexed in WoS and Scopus, including financial support from the Ministry of Education and Training, attention from training institutions and efforts of the Journal throughout the process of improving the recognition and academic quality of articles from the global scholarly community publishing research results according to the published scope. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trong Hoai at the discussion session At the Seminar, Prof. Dr. Le Quoc Hoi - Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Economics and Development, National Economics University presented "Experience in International Integration of Vietnamese Journals: Perspective from the Journal of Economics and Development". Prof. Dr. Le Quoc Hoi said that improving the quality of journals for indexing in international databases has become an urgent requirement." To improve the quality of Vietnamese journals, as well as to have more and more journals indexed in WoS, Scopus and ACI, it is time for managers of Vietnamese journals to work seriously and determine the right roadmap, steps and specific solutions according to the criteria of the international peer review system. This is a task that needs support from the government and the scientific community so that Vietnam can soon have more journals that meet international standards ", Prof. Dr. Le Quoc Hoi asserted. Prof. Dr. Le Quoc Hoi presenting at the Seminar Presenting in the discussion, Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Van Thuat - Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Construction Science and Technology said that Vietnam needed to have more Scopus/WoS journals to publish domestic and foreign articles. To do so, there needs to be a strong initial investment in specialized human resources and facilities, especially finance to maintain activities including services using the international editing and publishing system that some international organizations have monopolized for many years. Current domestic journal activities cannot generate enough revenue to cover necessary expenses. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dinh Van Thuat presenting The seminar ended with a discussion and exchange between units on the issue of rapidly increasing the number of journals indexed in ACI/Scopus.

More than 100 in-depth discussion sessions, presenting new approaches to sustainable university models The Global Sustainable Development Conference 2024 was held at the National Convention Center of Thailand, Bangkok, bringing together 117 leading speakers and experts and 1,200 delegates from universities, businesses and various organizations around the world. With more than 100 sessions, 6 essential, focus-required social transformations were spread to individuals and organizations to jointly achieve the 17 SDGs set by the United Nations. In specific, they include: (1) digital transformation revolution for sustainable development; (2) education, gender and inequality; (3) energy, decarbonization and sustainable industry; (4) health, well-being and demography; (5) sustainable cities and communities; and (6) sustainable food, land, water and oceans. In particular, new approaches to the roles and actions of higher education institutions in the above-mentioned transformation revolve around five aspects: Training, Research, Governance, Operation, and Community. Specifically, in terms of Training activities, the discussion sessions mentioned: (1) applying active education methods to the curriculum, thereby empowering each individual for sustainable transformation; (2) focusing on training green, sustainable skills groups, exploring the benefits of integrating these skills into each individual's lifelong learning process, building an environmentally-savvy workforce; (3) mentioning the role of higher education in promoting frameworks, thinking and actions for happiness, gender equality, social justice; and (4) transforming the education system to develop a green workforce, helping learners thrive as resilient leaders in facing of global challenges. In terms of  Research, the sessions emphasized: (1) how to systematize comprehensive methods and initiatives to approach sustainability as a whole rather than individually; (2) highlighting how different stakeholders use innovation tools to narrow gaps in education access, address gender barriers, and move towards equitable access to education; (3) and the role of research and innovation in engaging society in biodiversity conservation efforts. In terms of Governance, the discussions highlighted: (1) the need for policies and training programs for the next generation of leaders and employees, ensuring they are fully equipped with the knowledge to promote positive changes and address pressing challenges of our time; (2) emphasizing strategic partnerships between schools, academic researchers and technology providers that contribute to sustainable development and ensure safe and ethical use. In terms of  Operations, the sessions underlined: (1) recent breakthroughs in AI-driven materials and system design that significantly boost energy conversion efficiency to close the carbon loop and (2) promoting sustainable cities by empowering communities and driving citizen behavior toward a more sustainable future. In terms of Community, the discussions emphasized collaboration among stakeholders in planning and building a strong policy to promote healthy, quality lifestyles and address sustainability and inequality. Overview of the opening session of the conference UEH Multidisciplinary and Sustainable Strategy: continuously adjusting according to PDCA principles to stay in line with the latest trends Applying the PDCA principle (Plan – Do – Check – Act) in the process of planning, organizing, evaluating, and implementing, the plans and initiatives of the UEH Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University strategy have been continuously adjusted, pioneering the latest approaches in the world. Up to now, 17 SDGs have been gradually integrated into 5 aspects of the school including Training, Research, Community Connection, Operation and Governance and the initial results have been unveiled. Notably, the “Glocal” (Global & Local) knowledge is focused on in the training activities of all levels of UEH, through 3 key groups of activities: (1) integrating multidisciplinary and sustainable knowledge into the design of the roadmap, building content and implementing training programs, (2) building a global learning environment with diverse training products, diverse learning methods associated with the lifelong learning process of each individual; and (3) efforts to train human resources contributing to the development of the region and locality through local campuses such as UEH Vinh Long, UEH Ho Chi Minh City, and soon UEH Nha Trang. In recent years, the proportion of quality research articles and international publications contributing to addressing the 17 SDGs has been increasing. In 2023, this number was 311 articles, accounting for 60% of the total number of articles according to the Scopus database. This resulted from the determination to promote international publications that integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, thereby raising awareness and skills for the next generation of researchers. “Creating a community of action for sustainable development” is the orientation of the programs connecting UEH and other related partners in the past 3 years. The UEH Global - Digital Transformation for Schools project connects UEH and the teacher community, the Community Connection - Knowledge Spreading - Sustainable Action program with 4 comprehensive cooperation categories between UEH and the business community, or the Giving to UEH funding “For a sustainable development future” creates opportunities for the community, contributes and sponsors education. These programs have realized the above pioneering orientation. With the view that "UEH campuses and organizational environments must practice sustainable environments first", UEH Operations and Governance prioritize sustainable development. Typical examples are effective management policies using OKR; the UEH Award "for a UEHer community of changemakers"; the policies that create continuous motivation; or the sustainable organizational structure model. In particular, the establishment and scientific operation of the UEH Green Campus project has helped UEH reduce 4 tons of landfill waste by integrating the Living Lab model and the recycling waste circulation model with a management and control mechanism from root to tip. This model has spread to domestic and foreign units, organizations, and localities such as ANZ Bank, District 7 - Ho Chi Minh City. It can be stated that the new approaches to sustainable development from the Global Sustainable Development Conference 2024 have been applied and suggested innovative and comprehensive approaches to the UEH Multidisciplinary and Sustainable Strategy. Continuously learning and implementing these approaches will contribute to promoting a pioneering UEH not only in the academic field but also in sustainable leadership and social responsibility implementation, firstly in Vietnam./.

Therefore, language workshop titled "English learning and test taking - A colloquial sharing" was arranged by UEH English Zone, with the goal of assisting UEH students in overcoming challenges and making their English learning process simpler. When taking an English exam, students must overcome a number of challenges, such as trouble recalling vocabulary, anxiety about using the language incorrectly, … Upon attending the language workshop "English learning and test taking - A colloquial sharing" students will be able to receive effective and efficient strategies as well as get answers to any questions they may have about learning English from Mr. Truong Vinh Duy, a lecturer in the School of Foreign Language at Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics. Throughout the sharing session, Mr. Duy provided practical advice on how to learn English for lifelong learning as well as experience and guidance for students preparing for competency assessment tests such as the TOEIC and IELTS. The speakers discuss tips for getting ready for exams. The key to a more simple and pleasurable English language learning experience is having the right learning strategy, which will make it much easier to remember and apply vocabulary. Specific, vivid usage situations are a more effective way to learn a language than repetitive exercises like reading and rereading, copying or trying to memorize words. The students exchanged ideas and listened intently. "When you put a vocabulary into your own real context instead of forcing it into your head, it will become more special and easier to remember," Mr. Duy stated. This is the primary idea behind "contextual learning," one of the three vocabulary-learning techniques the instructor discussed. Contextual learning's main idea is to make information more relatable to the learner's experience. Mr. Duy shares how to improve vocabulary learning through contextual learning. Learning a language, and English in particular, takes commitment and repetition; it is not something that can be accomplished quickly. The speaker offered two methods for honing vocabulary use and memorization: spaced repetition and active engagement. To help information stay in long-term memory, spaced repetition involves reviewing content at systematic, increasing intervals (e.g., one hour, one day, three days, etc.). Regarding proactive participation, this approach necessitates that students approach knowledge acquisition and application with a proactive mindset. The speaker shared the technique of interrupted repetition and active participation. Apart from discussing strategies for learning English, the speaker also shared positive experiences and advice to help students get ready for well-known English language proficiency exams like the TOEIC, TOEFL, CEFR, and IELTS. Students candidly discussed their difficulties learning English. Additionally, the language discussion provides a forum for students to discuss challenges they are facing with their English language learning and receive insightful guidance from the teacher on how to overcome those challenges. There was a brief game to help students practice vocabulary at the conclusion of the discussion. The goal of the engaging discussion activities is to make students feel more at ease about learning English. With the May theme, "English learning and test taking - A colloquial sharing," the program clarified strategies to help students learn the language and ace the language exams. Throughout the two hours of the vibrant, educational discussion, every participant actively participated. Follow UEH English Zone fanpage to stay up to date and take part in the upcoming programs.

Beside Self-reflection exercises, goal-setting activities, and action planning to help participants apply their personality traits to enhance their personal lives. Students use paper to represent who they are Students share their views and difficulties they encounter during their studies It's essential to note that these associations are general tendencies, and individuals often possess a combination of these traits to varying degrees. Additionally, other factors such as motivation, learning styles, and past experiences also influence the learning process. Recognizing and understanding these traits can help educators and learners tailor instructional strategies and create supportive learning environments that cater to a diverse range of personality traits. The second practice session: Applying Personality Traits in Personal Development, interpersonal relationships and team dynamics aims to help participants leverage strengths, overcome challenges associated with each trait, and set meaningful goals.  In this second practice session, students worked in groups to solve a range of problems related to how different traits affect communication styles, conflict resolution, and decision-making within a team/relationships. The session includes role-playing exercises, case studies, and discussions to help participants improve their relationships by understanding and valuing diverse personality traits. Through "Find the right person" activity, students learn how to communicate clearly about the objectives, shortcomings, and strengths of each member of the group as well as how to resolve conflicts. Next, a variety of scenarios are presented throughout the exercise, providing students with the opportunity to assume the role of "A talented leader" and respond to the speaker's questions. By investigating and debating these cases, activities and discussions to help participants understand and appreciate diverse personality traits within a group setting. After completing second session, students solve the "Nine people - ten ideas" puzzle in the last activities, provide as a unifying and motivational element among individuals with diverse personalities and perspectives.  In order to set objectives and create sensible action plans, students must learn to build on their strengths, overcome their weaknesses, discover who they are, and gain a better understanding of how various personality traits affect interpersonal relationships, communication style, and conflict resolution.

Overview of the Opening Ceremony Attending the Opening Ceremony, on behalf of UEH, there was the presence of Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - Director of UEH; Mr. Truong Minh Kiet - Head of Department of Marketing and Communication; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Quang Huy - Deputy Head of Department of Undergraduate Training, Lecturer of the course; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dang Khoa - Head of Strategic Management Department - School of Management - UEH College of Business. On behalf of the Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation, with the participation of Mr. Pham Minh Thuan - Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mr. Pham Nam Thang - General Director along with learners of the Management and Operation Skills Training Course - FAHASA 2024 . Opening the course Prof.Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - President of UEH - remarked: "In October 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City was transformed following the model of a multi-disciplinary university, becoming one of the 7 current universities across the country. With internal resources accumulated over nearly 50 years and the strategy of Connecting the Community and Spreading Knowledge, UEH always accompanies partners to develop together and serve the community towards sustainable development. In recent times, UEH has also cooperated in training with many corporations listed as Vietnam Electricity Group, Vietnam Rubber Group, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group, and Liksin Packaging Printing Company, etc. Continuing this journey, UEH would like to thank the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation for trusting and accompanying UEH to organize the Management - Operation Skills Training Course. - FAHASA 2024 for middle-level managers of Fahasa. I wish all learners to achieve good results, thoroughly apply the knowledge they have acquired to leadership work in their units, and see them all at the course summary." Prof.Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - UEH Director - at the Opening Ceremony Representing FAHASA, Mr. Pham Minh Thuan - Chairman of the Board of Directors of FAHASA - remarked: "I am a former student of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Planning Batch 5, Department of Planning, after demobilization, I entered the school in 1979. The lecturers at that time were leading professors from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City listed as Professor Tran Dinh But, Professor Ho Duc Hung, Ms. Ung Thi Minh Le, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Te, Mr. Le Thanh Ha and Ms. Phan Thi Minh Chau. It can be stated that University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is the place where I spent my vibrant and heroic student days, although it was difficult but fun. In 1999, I returned and studied in Batch 6 of Graduate studies at the school. Throughout my university life, I was most attached to University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. It was not just me, in the leadership of Fahasa, there are many employees who have graduated from the school. With affection, attachment and gratitude, we do thank the school for nearly 50 years of training many leaders for all sectors, all levels and for us at Fahasa. Fahasa was founded in August 1976. In December 2005, the company was equitized and currently, Fahasa has 30% state capital. In nearly 20 years of operating as a joint stock company, Fahasa has grown 15 times. In accordance with what I learned at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, I have built Fahasa a very clear development strategy since 2005, which is to build a system of professional bookstores nationwide. In 2005, Fahasa only had 18 bookstores in Ho Chi Minh City with small areas ranging from 100-200m2; curently, Fahasa has 120 bookstores with sizes ranging from 500-2000m2 spread across 47 provinces and cities. From Quang Tri to the South, 100% of Provinces have Fahasa bookstores. Fahasa's revenue in 2023 was 3,900 billion. Fahasa was in the top 400 largest companies in Vietnam. Allof Fahasa's bookstores are directly rented, staffed, managed and operated by the company. Fahasa does not franchise, does not lease brands, and does not contract, so, today we have more than 2,200 employees. From Quang Tri onwards, 100% of goods are supplied from Ho Chi Minh City, bookstores only sell goods, do not import goods. That's why we effectively manage our product quality, price and origin of goods. Our staff is required to be professional and skilled. That's why FAHASA is very interested in training our team. The managers studying here are all employees who have been with Fahasa for a long time, at least 10 years, at most more than 30 years. They have a lot of enthusiasm, passion, and experience, but to a certain extent, they are lacking knowledge. To compensate for this aspect, Fahasa pays special attention to training, and this is also the reason why Fahasa cooperated with University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City to organize the "Management and Operation Skills Training Course - FAHASA 2024" for middle-level managers. According to my planning, there is not only one course. After completing this course, the two parties will sit down and have a longer plan. There will be courses for intermediate- and senior-level staff. We entirely understand that the problem we are facing is the lack of the latest knowledge and expertise. For this course specifically, we had an internal meeting and agreed that we must ensure the spirit of learning and education seriously, and require learners to discuss and interact with lecturers about real-life situations taking place at Fahasa, what they still lack in terms of knowledge, and about connecting knowledge with work practice. I hope that what Fahasa employees learn today will immediately work." Mr. Pham Minh Thuan - Chairman of the Board of Directors of FAHASA - at the opening ceremony "Management and Operations Skills Training Course - FAHASA 2024" will be held in 3 sessions per week, Tuesday evening, Thursday evening and Saturday morning until the end of June 2024. After that, it will switch to 02 sessions a week at Fahasa until the end of August 2024. At the end of each seesstion, learners will take a multiple-choice test. At the end of the course, learners will report their group Action Program will be issued a course completion certificate by UEH if they meet all requirements.

Information security organizations and experts have issued warnings regarding the risk of increased global cyber attacks by 2024 and using artificial intelligence to access security vulnerabilities. In Vietnam, from late 2023 to early 2024, many serious cyber attacks caused significant losses. The report summarizing the situation of Vietnam Cyber ​​Security in 2023 by Vietnam National Cyber ​​Security Technology Corporation (NCS) recorded 13,900 cyber attacks on organizations in Vietnam in 2023, with the main targets being government agencies, banking systems, financial institutions, industrial systems, and other key systems. According to Dr. Thai Kim Phung - Vice Principal of UEH College of Technology and Design (CTD) - stated: "Information system is the "heart" and data is the valuable "asset" of every business. Ensuring the system operates stably, flexibly and efficiently is the key to enhancing productivity, improving services, and creating competitive benefits, and ensuring system and data security is a priority. We need to build comprehensive security strategies, train employees in information security, and apply advanced security measures to deal with increasingly complex threats. This is not only the task of the Information Technology department but also the responsibility of business leaders. We need to act now to build an environment of safety, trust and sustainable development in our digital transformation." Dr. Thai Kim Phung at the opening of the seminar With such urgency, the seminar "System Assurance and Data Security: Safety in Digital Transformation" was held on the morning of May 18, 2024 in coordination with University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and Ho Chi Minh City Union of Business Association (HUBA), attracting nearly 200 guests from businesses, organizations, UEH alumni and students. Overview of the seminar Mr. Mamoru Seki - President of AGEST Vietnam Company, a leading expert on cybersecurity in Japan - issued warnings regarding Ransomware, also known as malicious ransomware. Ransomware restricts user access by locking down infected computers or servers or encrypting files, then demanding a ransom payment to get everything back. Additionally, it infects other devices and systems adjacent to the infected device. Currently, Ransomware is considered a cyber security crime market, so the danger has risen to a new level, posing a huge risk to businesses! Mr. Mamoru Seki issuing warnings about Ransomware Dr. Vo Van Khang - Vice Chairman of the Southern Information Security Association - also affirm that the damage caused by computer viruses to Vietnamese users in 2023 was 17.3 trillion VND (according to Bkav), and nearly 60 thousand Ransomware attacks targeted Vietnam (Kaspersky). While data is considered the heart of digital transformation and one of the most important resources of the digital economy, currently more than 70% of Vietnamese businesses surveyed showed that their investment in information security has been less than 5% of total investment in information technology! Dr. Vo Van Khang informing that the current level of investment in information security for businesses being still quite low Besides, Dr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh - Director of the Information and Communication Design Technology program and Director of the Information Security program - UEH College of Technology and Design also issued warnings regarding attacking AI systems. Accordingly, computer vision researchers have been trying to prevent attacks designed to disrupt AI systems or exploit vulnerabilities through the AI ​​system itself. By detecting how an AI system operates, hackers can add data that confuses the system (using adversarial patterns and data poisoning), causing it to misidentify. In addition, leading researchers have admitted that they do not have an effective solution to prevent this infestation. Dr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh discussing attacks on AI systems by hackers today It can be stated that organizations and businesses are currently facing many cybersecurity risks. This is not a short-term "war"; therefore, organizations, businesses and individuals must proactively equip themselves with knowledge and be willing to invest in ensuring system and data security - the vital factors in today's digital economy! Experts discussing solutions to ensure system and data security The seminar was a great success, bringing perspectives, knowledge and experience in preventing illegal intrusion, ensuring information technology infrastructure security and data protection for organizations, businesses, individuals. This was also one of the practical activities within the framework of the program "Community Connection - Knowledge Spread - Sustainable Action" implemented by UEH in recent years with the goal of spreading knowledge values ​​to solve social problems for sustainable development.

With meaningful songs and the enthusiastic summer atmosphere, the program created unforgettable memories for UEH students. The program was inspired by the story of Simba the lion in the movie The Lion King. Simba's journey to conquer the throne is a story of growth, courage, and responsibility. He dares to face life's challenges to step up to the highest position. Simba's glory lies not only in status or power but also in overcoming himself, overcoming adversity, and bringing good to himself and others. The theme GLORIOUS signifies glory, brilliance, and is also an adjective to describe resounding victories, extraordinary feats, and proud achievements from relentless effort. The program was divided into three main chapters, each with different messages and meanings tied to the process of growing up. Cozy space of Acoustic show: GLORIOUS In Chapter 1, named Cherishing, students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in sweet and loving melodies filled with family affection. These songs symbolize the stage where each of us grows up in an environment full of love and nurturing, thereby raising awareness of our responsibilities and roles in society as the youth shaping the future of the country. Chapter 2: Courageous continued to take students on the journey of striving and maturing youth with many challenges ahead.

As part of the university's digital transformation strategy, since 2022, UEH has launched the Knowledge Repository - an electronic information portal to support learners, officials, employees, and partners in searching for information and actively looking up relevant content quickly, aiming to digitize the majority of work transactions at UEH (recording requests, processing, providing services, electronic authentication and so on). The Knowledge Repository also allows users to log in to submit requests for information which has not been found yet or contains inaccurate instructional content. Thereby, it provides feedback to improve implementation processes, becoming an important resource and effective support for the process of providing information, care, and service to contacts regarding activities and professional competence at UEH. Continuing to improve the quality of care and support, addressing in-depth and personalized inquiries from learners, officials, employees, and partners, and meeting expectations for a professional and quality service environment, since May 2024, UEH will diversify the forms of receiving and handling user support requests through various channels, specifically: 1) Enhancing the utilization of the Knowledge Repository (https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn) to receive information and carry out transactions (if any) according to instructions; 2) Online contact at all times in all places through the UEHer application (for officials, workers) or UEH Student (for learners) or the website https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn/lien-he-phong-ban (for external guests); 3) UEH hotline - 028 7306 1976; 4) Direct contact at the working offices of the units; 5) Email and unit-managed fan pages integrated into the CRM system. Learners who send emails (@st.ueh.edu.vn) to the units will automatically create transaction tickets on the CRM for tracking and processing. The synchronized and diversified implementation of various forms, along with the increased use of the multi-channel Customer Relationship Management (CRM), helps UEH receive information 24/7, centrally and quickly process requests from learners, officials, employees, and partners. Contacts can track the processing progress through email/app and evaluate the service quality of UEH after the transaction. As a result, the quality of care and support activities is enhanced, from content classification to automated assignment to units and individuals, ensuring quick, clear monitoring of the processing progress and evaluation of service quality. Units/Departments participating in care and support tasks using the shared system help UEH achieve modern management goals through digital operation and storage. Accordingly, the UEH Knowledge Repository will continuously update regulations, rules, procedures, and operational instructions, integrating them into each unit's website to ensure timely, complete, and accurate information provision to users. At the same time, UEH uses the telephone number "028 7306 1976" (referred to as the UEH Hotline) to route calls to the necessary functional units, helping contacts save time and increase flexibility in call management. Customers/partners, officials, and learners can look up UEH's contact information in the Knowledge Repository (https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn), dial the internal extension they need to contact, or call directly the functional units to receive information and prompt feedback. Hotline operators receiving calls and support contacts In the meantime, UEH implements a model for recording and processing online support requests anytime, anywhere through the UEHer application (for officials, employees) or UEH Student (for learners) or the website https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn/lien-he-phong-ban (for external guests); and directly at the working offices. The specific steps are as follows: All customer/partner contact information, as well as information provided by employees/students, is guaranteed to be kept confidential and used for the proper purposes. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice Director of UEH - stated: "In implementing the digital transformation strategy, UEH has continuously exploited and applied information technology to improve service quality and meet the needs of students, employees, and contacts in the best possible way. Up to now, UEH has deployed many intelligent services to serve users, especially the development of a synchronized Knowledge Repository, multi-channel CRM, encouraging users to actively search for information, contributing to the training of global UEH generations, confidence in action, spreading positive values, and sustainable development. By 2024, UEH will enhance the exploitation of the Knowledge Repository, connect it with the CRM system, and implement various forms of receiving, processing, and answering inquiries, listed as using a hotline and applying an online support request recording model directly at the offices of the units - connected to the CRM system. This effort aims to best serve the needs of contacts/UEHers, to improve the quality and professionalism of UEH’s care and support activities, and strive to become an intelligent and sustainable university."

Aligned with the goal of 'connecting heritage and urbanism towards sustainability', ISCM students actively engaged, showcasing their creative prowess and modern perspectives to the beautiful and ancient city of Hue. Moreover, the trip fostered strong bonds not only among UEH - ISCM students and the local community but also among students across different cohorts. Demonstrating creative prowess for success Confident, innovative, and dedicated students from the Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City Program seized the opportunity to collaborate and compete with students from over 29 universities nationwide and abroad.

Community integration with local residents Throughout the journey of connecting heritage and urbanism towards sustainability in Hue, the UEH students had many discoveries and experiences alongside their peers from other architectural institutions locally and internationally. Through team-building activities and cultural performances, students had the opportunity to meet and connect with each other. The 5-day journey not only provided memorable moments at the traditional student architecture festival but also offered new perspectives and knowledge through random grouping in the Fast Design categories A and B. Moreover, during the more than 8-day journey, students from 3 cohorts of the Architecture and Urban Design Program for Smart Cities journeyed together, overcoming challenges, especially exploring over 5 special locations not only in Hue City but also in Quy Nhon and Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen). Engaging in various connectivity-oriented activities, the UEH students learned, played, and 'paved the way' together, creating the first impressions of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City at the traditional national architecture student festival, showcasing the vigor and forward-thinking mindset towards smart and sustainable urbanism. These special connections among students are one of the specific goals that the Institute of Smart Cities and Management and the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City continuously foster.

The train named Live Soul had passed through 3 stages with diverse emotions that created a sparkling, twinkling musical atmosphere: Stage 1: Glowing Sunset At this stage, we blend into the rhythms of 3 songs, “Keep Cold”, “Impossible”, and “One Call Away” which will take you to our inner stillness, to quietly listen to our self-doubts and a reply that our future will be a thriving land. The song “Impossible” performed by Luong Ly Stage 2: Starry Night Walking through the dusk, the shimmer of the starry night sky highlighted the shine of love, romance, and nostalgia. “In The City Of Love” - a sweet song from the cartoon series Phineas and Ferb that is familiar with many youth's childhood, would be a dulcet “pillow” where our inner children can be consoled and have a rest. “In The City Of Love” presented by lovely girl Phuong Luong Coming to the “Best Part”, we wished to send you a strong encouragement to disclaim all your doubts about impossible things, along with the song “How Far I’ll Go” which is the affirmation of our unlimited abilities. “Best Part” – a collaboration of Tien Dat and Phuong Luong Stage 3: To the Dawn With the two songs “Count On Me” and “What Makes You Beautiful”, BELL would love to give you cozily glorious sun rays when dawn comes after rainy days. “What Makes You Beautiful” - a song performed by Tien Dat and Quynh Nghi Among meditative minutes are exciting smiles when participating in the mini game “Guess the song’s name”.

This program was jointly organized by Tuoi Tre Newspaper, Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), UEH, with the companion of Vingroup. Overview of the event Accompanying the orientation day were Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - Senior Specialist of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City; Journalist Nguyen Hoang Nguyen - Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Tuoi Tre Newspaper. Speaking at the opening of the program, Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) - remarked: "Recently, parents have become more and more interested in their children's education, accompanying them in their decisions of career, school, and exams. Choosing a university and specialization must be the optimal decision. To make the optimal decision, parents and students must solve a system of multivariable equations with many unknowns and constraints, from aptitudes, qualities, interests, family circumstances, development orientation, and economic and financial capacity, especially the rapid change and development of the domestic and international labor market and with many uncertain steps. Finally, should the university or institute that parents and children intend to choose be the most prestigious, with strengths, advantages, and the best conditions in the field? I believe that attending this event this morning will help parents and students meet what I have just said. You will have all the information, basis, and understandings necessary to choose a school and a career. Do not do it for your child or impose your wishes on them; rather, understanding their personalities and the family circumstances so as to help them make the accurate and correct decisions." Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) - delivering the opening speech To help parents have complete information to prepare for the high school graduation exam and university and college admission in 2024, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - representative of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) - presented a general introduction to the admission season in 2024 with the latest and basic information for parents. Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - Senior Specialist of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) - asserted: "The Ministry has directed high schools to review information on priority candidates to avoid the situation where students have already been admitted but get rejected due to being classified into the wrong priority object. In addition, many universities currently consider high school transcripts; therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that no later than May 31, 2024, all candidates will be granted accounts to register for admission. Parents need to remind their children to review their learning results to ensure their accuracy as the ministry provides them to universities. If there is any error, candidates need to immediately report it to the school for correction. From April 24 to 26, the Ministry of Education and Training will issue accounts to candidates who are 12th-grade students. Candidates will use this account throughout the process of registering for the high school graduation exam and university admission. Candidates need to pay attention to the security of their accounts. Candidates register to take the exam from May 2 to 10 for dual purposes of high school graduation and university admission. On July 17, the Ministry will announce the results of the high school graduation exam. Regarding university admission this year, the adjustments are mainly to correct technical issues to ensure optimal admission. All admission registration processes are online. Candidates can register for many options, in which option 1 is the highest and can only be accepted into only one option. This year's admission registration period is reduced to 13 days (from July 18 to 30). From July 31 to August 6, candidates pay the registration fee by region within the prescribed time period. Therefore, candidates and parents need to pay attention to which area they are in to pay the admission registration fee on time. On August 19, schools announce official admission results. In addition to the admission project, candidates need to learn about the admission regulations announced. Candidates need to carefully learn about the supplementary criteria specified by the university they are about to opt for. Please note that the admission registration process is all done on the Ministry's system within the prescribed time frame. The system will automatically switch to another stage as the previous one is due, so it cannot be retaken. Candidates are required to complete the entire admission registration process on the online system." Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - a representative of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) - presenting a general introduction to the admission season 2024 to parents During the program, various issues were excitingly discussed between parents and the advisory board, from how to choose a school and a major, to concerns regarding student psychology at this stage, along with admission information from early admission methods as well as those based on high school graduation results. Parents raising questions to the Advisory Board Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), member of the Economic Advisory Board in economics, finance, applied technology in business and economics - supported the parents and students in troubleshooting the selection of the right major and career. Addressing parents' questions regarding the admission method using the IELTS certificate, Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao suggested: “In 2024, UEH will stably maintain the 6 admission methods. Specifically, Method 1: Direct admission according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, Method 2: Admission of candidates who graduated from a foreign high school program and have an international baccalaureate; Method 3: Admission of excellent students; Method 4: Admission based on learning process by subject combination; Method 5: Admission based on the results of the Competence Assessment Test; Method 6: Admission based on the results of the High School Graduation Exam 2024. In the early admission Methods 2,3,4,5 UEH has opened the online admission registration portal from March 19, 2024. Regarding the IELTS certificate and other English proficiency certificates listed as TOEFL, many universities convert them to admission scores. However, this is not a mandatory requirement. At UEH, we rely on an IELTS score of 6.0 or a TOEFL iBT score of 73 or higher to calculate an admission score, called a conversion score. UEH admission score is based on four components: (1) GPA semesters or subject combinations, (2) The scores of International English proficiency certificates (3) Students from gifted/specialized schools (4) Excellent students winning prizes at city/provincial- and central-level tests. Those four components are converted into points and then added together called the admission score. Parents can directly access the website tuyensinhdaihoc.ueh.edu.vn under the Admissions Methods section to look for detailed information." Later on,  Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao answered parents' questions regarding the floor score for Method 5 that UEH just announced on April 19, 2024. He further shared: "UEH only uses the results of the Competence Assessment Test, phase 1/2024 of Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. The score threshold that UEH offers is the application threshold. It can be understood that this is the minimum score that a candidate needs to apply to UEH majors. This score threshold does not manifest the probability or opportunity for admission. In 2024, UEH reserves 10% of the program quota for admission based on the results of the  Competence Assessment Test.” Parents questioning UEH regarding the floor score of Method for the Digital Communication & Multimedia Design and International Business Law programs. Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao emphasized: "Supposed UEH has released the results of the early admission methods and announced that candidates are eligible to be admitted to the Digital Communication and Multimedia Design or International Business Law programs, this is just "the eligibility for admission", and they have yet to be admitted to UEH at all. To be admitted to UEH, candidates need to satisfy two additional conditions: (1) passing the High School Graduation Exam according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and, (2) registering their options to be admitted to the Digital Communication and Multimedia Design or International Business Law programs at UEH on the national admission portal in the highest priority order". Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao answering parents at the auditorium At the end of the consulting session with experts, Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao stayed on stage to provide dedicated advice on UEH admission information as well as share his experiences of choosing majors and careers for interested parents and students. Parents, students and Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao discussing UEH admission information In addition to the consulting session with experts and large universities taking place in Hall B1.302, UEH also provides a special career exhibition space to help parents better understand UEH international multi-disciplinary programs in Ho Chi Minh City and Vinh Long.

The seminar discussed regulations related to the role, rights and obligations of third parties in the enforcement of judgments and arbitral decisions from a theoretical and applied perspective in Vietnam as well as as experiences for other countries around the world. Attending the program, on behalf of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government, was Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen - Dean of School of Law, UEH - CELG; Dr. Nguyen Thi Anh - Vice Dean of School of Law, UEH - CELG; together with lecturers and leaders of departments and programs under UEH - CELG. On the part of the Vietnam International Arbitration Center, there was the participation of Lawyer Chau Viet Bac - Deputy General Secretary of VIAC; along with lawyers, arbitrators, executives of judgment enforcement agencies, and researchers from universities and businesses in Vietnam. Overview of the Seminar Speaking at the opening of the seminar, Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen emphasized the importance of developing dispute resolution methods, especially commercial arbitration thanks to the great advantages of arbitration compared to other methods. In fact, it can be stated that, in addition to the parties in the dispute, the "third party" gradually appears in more cases, in many different roles, and is important in ensuring fairness, transparency, and effectiveness of arbitration and conciliation methods, thereby posing the need to continue improving the legal framework governing arbitration activities. Therefore, the College of Economics, Law and Government (CELG) has been honored to accompany the Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC) to organize the seminar on "Enforcement Of Arbitral Awards And Issues Arising Related To The Third Party". This seminar is the realization of the cooperation between CELG and VIAC over the past years. Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen at the opening of the seminar Giving the introductory speech at the conference, Lawyer Chau Viet Bac affirmed that 2024 opened up many challenges for commercial arbitration activities in Vietnam, especially when disputes involving third parties became increasingly complicated. Although the role of third parties in the dispute resolution process has been recognized, with the starting point being a private dispute resolution mechanism, governed by an arbitration agreement between the two parties, there was currently no such document. There were no legal regulations on arbitration in Vietnam that provided specific and detailed definitions of the roles and powers of third parties, unintentionally creating certain obstacles when resolving disputes using arbitration methods and conciliation. Lawyer Chau Viet Bac delivering the introductory speech at the seminar Presenting the topic "Involvement of third parties and their influences on the process of enforcement of arbitral awards", Mr. Le Hung Long - Lecturer at UEH - CELG School of Law stated that there was a need for a unified guiding document on the concept of "third party"; at the same time, we should consider expanding the right to request enforcement of arbitral awards for "third parties" to have rights and obligations related to the dispute and to ensure effective dispute resolution activities. He believed that improving the law on "third parties" would improve the efficiency of enforcement of arbitral awards and avoid  annulment of awards. Mr. Le Hung Long presenting at the seminar Mr. Phan Van Thuy - Deputy Head of Operations Department I, Civil Judgment Enforcement Department HCMC and Mr. Nguyen Cong Phu - Former Deputy Chief of the Economic Court in Ho Chi Minh City, VIAC Arbitrators, in turn, presented the "Handling practices of judgment enforcement agencies as the content of an arbitration award related to the third party" and "Cancellation of arbitration awards and other matters related to third parties”. Through these presentations, the presenters proposed ideas to improve the law on the annulment of arbitration awards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of third parties. Mr. Phan Van Thuy - Deputy Head of Operations Department 1, Civil Judgment Enforcement Department HCMC - presenting at the seminar Mr. Nguyen Cong Phu - Former Deputy Chief of the City Economic Court HCM, VIAC Arbitrator - presenting at the seminar Under the frame of the seminar, Lawyer. Dang Viet Anh - CEO of ANHISA Law Company Limited, VIAC Arbitrator presented "Proposals On Enforcement Mechanism Of Arbitration Awards With The Third Party Element" and showed typical examples to help listeners clearly understand his content. Lawyer Dang Viet Anh presenting his paper at the seminar Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen, representative of UEH - CELG, presenting gifts to the speakers As a senior Law training and research center in the Southern region, UEH - CELG has coordinated with the Vietnam International Arbitration Center to successfully organize a seminar, attracting the participation of hundreds of people directly in the hall and online via the Zoom platform. The seminar made significant contributions in raising awareness of the dispute resolution process by commercial arbitration and making recommendations to improve the law on commercial arbitration in Vietnam.

UEH recognizes that it has a responsibility to society in training high-quality human resources to serve the Mekong Delta. Along with the trend of many open universities in provinces, with the responsibility of a national key public university, with the consent of the Ministry of Education and Training, Vinh Long Provincial People's Committee and Departments, UEH established Vinh Long Campus with the mission of contributing high-quality human resources to the Mekong Delta region, which creates conditions and a quality learning environment equivalent to Ho Chi Minh City for children in the Southwest region.

Regarding training quality, with the motto of one quality - one degree - one brand, UEH Vinh Long has unified training programs of UEH.

Training on "Sowing the seeds of happiness in schools" with the talk of one of the leading experts in the field of Vietnamese psychology -  Dr. To Nhi A Dr. To Nhi A presenting the topic "Sowing the seeds of happiness in schools" Each school is a miniature society, and building a happy school is an important and meaningful goal in education. A happy school not only ensures the provision of knowledge but also sets the goal of comprehensive development for students, creating a positive culture, and a strong academic and social community where people can share ideas, experiences, joy, and happiness. To build a happy school, managers must build a happy process, including a happy working, happy teaching, happy people, etc. Criteria for evaluating happiness is reflected in all factors at school that create "balance". This is the key factor that brings happiness according to the United Nations assessment. Dr. To Nhi A stated: “Building a happy school is not about building reinforced concrete! The nature and destination of a happy school is that the psychological subject belonging to that school must have a balanced psychological state to operate a positive learning-working process, aiming for development and self-perfection. Therefore, building a happy school cannot be separated from other familiar core issues of educational activities: teacher capacity - school resources - student-centered - close coordination with educational forces, etc." The topic was shared with many exciting activities among high school teachers in the Mekong Delta provinces. This was an opportunity for teachers at high schools to discuss with one of the leading psychologists in the field, from which teachers could build a happy school at the school they were working at. Representatives of the program organizing committee, Mr. Trinh Van Ngoan - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Vinh Long Province - sending his deep thanks to Dr. To Nhi A for accepting the invitation to share the topic "Sowing the seeds of happiness in schools" Delegates taking photos with speakers at the conference Thematic training on "Instructions for reading financial statements and annual school settlements" and "Some points to note when developing internal spending regulations for schools according to Decree 60" The thematic training "Instructions for reading financial statements and annual school settlements" and "Some points to note when developing internal spending regulations for schools according to Decree 60" attracted a lot of attention from teachers thanks to their importance and necessity in schools. Through the program, teachers could share information, skills, and notes related to financial reporting, annual settlement, and internal spending regulations. This would be useful knowledge to help teachers more easily read financial reports as well as annual settlements and avoid errors in the process of building spending regulations for their units.

However, few people know that taxes, which appear to be fair to all genders, are the cause of woman spending more on the same products as men. That is due to the presence of a tax that bears the name "Pink tax." "An obligation" when you are female Although referred to as a "tax", the pink tax does not appear officially in law nor clearly regulated by governments like other taxes. The term "pink tax" was born because pink is a color that is commonly associated with women (products and items for women tend to use pink in designs and packaging) (according to NOI Cooperative). When combined with "tax," pink tax refers to the absurd additional cost that women have to pay for products specifically for women, in compare with equivalent products for men. Simply put, the pink tax is the cost difference between products and services marketed to women versus men. According to a study by the New York Consumer Advisory Agency (CDCA of 800 product categories in 2015, women pay more for most products over their lifetime, from children’s clothing to health care items. For example, women's clothing is 8% more expensive than men's, health care products for women are about 13% more expensive than men's, and toys for girls are 7% more expensive than boy’s. For the similar razor product, women have to pay $5.39 while men only have to pay $4.99. The pink tax does not only apply to common items; it is also adapted in the cost of products that are essential to women, such as sanitary napkins, menstrual cups, etc. Although 2 products have the same amount and shape, just differences in colors, women still have to pay a higher price (Source: Dep Magazine) When did pink tax appear? It is frequently consumed that the pink tax has recently gained people's attention, however, the pink tax has been present since early research on consumption in the US. In 1994, a report from the state of California, USA, stated that 64% of stores in different cities charged extra fees when washing and steaming women's shirts, proving that the pink tax phenomenon has existed at least since the 1990s. Nevertheless, at that time, the phrase "gender tax" was used more popularly instead of the pink tax. After about two decades, in 2015, the pink tax drew more public attention than ever before when California Democratic Representative Jackie Speier introduced the Pink Tax Repeal Act. The wave of support from women for the mentioned Act became stronger than ever. The impact of the pink tax on "the other half of the world" The effects of the pink tax on women will inevitably reduce women's purchasing power. When prices are high, women must spend more on the products they use. Consequently, as men and women receive the same amount of salary, women would buy less products than men, which resulting in a decrease in women's purchasing power. This downtrend would cause women to be labeled as " meticulous and scrupulous" even though the cause does not really come from their side. In addition, according to the World Economic Forum, the pink tax also puts a financial burden on the "other half". In particular, in the context that the equality of wages between men and women is still questionable, the pink tax makes the gap in salaries of the 2 sexes increases even more. In the context of Vietnam, specific research on pink tax has not been conducted. However, the UN Women report on Gender Equality and Taxation in Vietnam (2016) has pointed out that there was an enormous divergence in income between men and women. Nevertheless, the paradox which appears is that women, despite gaining lower incomes in average, receive less consumption tax incentives. Moreover, the value-added tax often applies on their essential goods. For instance, tampons and sanitary napkin products are still subject to import tax ranging from 15 to 22.5 percent and a VAT tax of 8 percent though these are products that women are required to consume every month. For men, they would never have to pay for them during lifetime. Several ways to avoid the "pink tax" Although it is an "unofficial" tax, this unreasonable expenditure is common in a wide range of product and service categories since there is no official legislation addressing the issue. However, there are still a few effective methods that will help you be more aware of the appearance of "pink tax". Firstly, for products that are comparable between sexes or have little difference in functionality, consider purchasing a product that is less expensive while still providing similar quality. Buying a black calculator with equivalent features instead of pink at a higher price (Source: Shopee e-commerce platform) After that, when shopping for clothes, carefully observe and examine the price difference between stores and brands, determining which stores and brands are charging higher prices for women's products. This will definitely give a hand in helping you realize and consume more rationally, resulting in lower-cost purchases. Finally, pick products that are sustainable. Because of their long-term reusability, sustainable products require less money to use. Especially for UEHers, using sustainable products has never been easier. UEH's souvenir products always promote sustainability and come in neutral colors that are appropriate for both genders. In conclusion, the "pink tax" has been and will always be a part of our lives, even if it is a hidden expense resulting from societal prejudice. Through this sharing, it is hoped that UEHers will gain more awareness and be able to actively seek ways to limit their spending on the "pink tax". Furthermore, UEHers can also share this knowledge with their friends to help raise awareness about the "pink tax".

The program was organized by University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) in collaboration with Truong Nguoi Ta fanpage. Empowering Tomorrow had the participation of Associate Professor, Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of UEH and Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Khanh - Marketing Director of Navigos Group Vietnam (owner of Vietnamworks). The two experts analyzed for students the three "understandings" that need to be determined prior to choosing a career or university, including understanding yourself, understanding the market, and understanding how universities teach majors and professions. Based on them, parents, high school and middle school teachers could also receive a lot of information and solutions to accompany their children in the process of planning the future. The first issue of Empowering Tomorrow has the participation of Associate Professor Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of UEH, Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Khanh - Marketing Director of Navigos Group Vietnam and MC Tuyen Tang (from the right) In the first issue, the speakers delved into the topics of understanding yourself and the market. After many years of research, Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Khanh believed that each person should determine the value of happiness that work brought to them. In fact, many people had the same career development journey with three different levels. The first level was to find a job, that is, simply to conquer a position that helps you cover your basic living expenses. This was the first need on the career journey. After being able to satisfy the basic needs of life, people often thought about the career they wanted to pursue. Employees would ask a number of questions regarding how they developed, whether they made progress every day, what the promotion path was, and what was the percentage of income growth, etc. Human resources would step to the final level after working for a long time. In accordance with the speaker, at this time, people would recognize the value of happiness in work (inner calling), that was, the meaning that work brought to them. “For example, I love jobs that contribute to the community and society. Therefore, based on the fact that I want to help people around me develop their careers, I will see what jobs can bring that value. This is what will help you be happy," she analyzed. The Marketing Director of Navigos Group Vietnam emphasized that it was necessary to introduce this concept into career orientation from the high school stage. Because, through observing the market, she noticed that there were many cases where, even though they had worked to a high-level position and gone through the first two levels, people did not feel happy and returned to comprehend what made them happy and decided to take a new path. “If we have this right from the beginning, students will have a happy career journey earlier. That's why I introduce and pay attention to the concept of the value of happiness that work brings in young people's journey to 'understand themselves'," she added. The two experts analyzing how to understand themselves, helping students choose a more suitable undergraduate major However, to fully go through these three levels, students should start by understanding themselves. Associate Professor Bui Quang Hung commented that understanding abilities, strengths, and interests was very difficult because they could change over time. It was hard for a high school student to really get it right. Tendencies, interests, and abilities would be accumulated through learning and working experiences and in association with the surrounding environment, requiring each individual to understand themselves. However, instead of going into details about what they like, what their abilities were, etc. students should approach both sides of an issue. For example, were you a rational or emotional person; did you like calculations or literature, creativity or systematic processes; were you a comprehensive or meticulous person, etc? "Once determined them, you can accumulate knowledge, experience, and have the ability to change to face future career challenges," he shared. Associate Professor. Bui Quang Hung emphasized the role of parents and teachers in this process. Those closest to students needed to understand and respect them instead of imposing choices according to their wishes. However, the experts said that understanding ourselves was not enough. Students and parents should learn the market. In times of uncertainty, the rapidly changing world has eliminated some repetitive jobs, machines could replace humans, and at the same time, create many new careers. Therefore, to adapt to uncertainties, young people needed to understand which jobs might disappear in the future or would become a trend. At the same time, they needed to choose a path that could help equip themselves with the skills to quickly adapt to changes. “Lifelong learning, continuous accumulation of knowledge and the ability to self-study are the basic factors for us to see that changing the working environment and career is completely ordinary. A sustainable career occurs when individuals create happy values ​​at work", Associate Professor Bui Quang Hung added. In addition, the two speakers suggested other sustainable skills in the first issue of Empowering Tomorrow, thereby helping students open up the third "understanding": understanding the field of study and universities train in the 5.0 era. In Empowering Tomorrow episode two, experts shared that the influence of technology on other professions in life is growing, requiring higher education institutions to innovate to keep pace with market trends, helping learners integrate faster. Associate Professor Tran Ha Minh Quan stressed that if previous generations listed as Gen X or Y had the mindset of maintaining one job, Gen Alpha or the following generations are forecasted to have career paths that change at least once or twice into unrelated or closely related fields. That was why universities have strived to equip new generations of learners with multi-disciplinary knowledge to be ready for these transitions. Two experts and Associate Professor  Tran Ha Minh Quan - Director of Dean of International School of Business ISB, UEH (far left) in Empowering Tomorrow episode two Associate Professor Bui Quang Hung stated that University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City was providing programs with three main criteria: skill sets meeting market needs; program design with multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and international content. Currently, universities around the world in general, and UEH in particular, have all incorporated technology into their programs from economics listed as finance, accounting, business administration, etc. to social sciences. Recently, UEH launched the ArtTech program, the intersection of technology and art, to provide the labor market with potential human resources. In addition to professional training, Ms. Phuong Khanh encouraged higher education institutions to equip students with the vision to forsee opportunities everywhere, instead of just large economic centers like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Localities also had a lot of development potential but always lacked high-quality human resources. Currently, universities have also tended to expand to other areas, beyond major economic centers. Among them, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has Branches in Vinh Long and Nha Trang, and Vietnam National University has branches in Ben Tre.

With the potential to attract FDI and the current status of the private sector being the majority, these are all dynamic areas, requiring human resources with expertise, high quality, and the ability to work in the context of international integration. Based on that reality, Khanh Hoa Province has proactively built a human resource development strategy at different levels with the issuance of: (1) Resolution No. 04/NQ-HDND of the People's Council dated September January 15, 2021 on promulgating the Human Resource Development Program for Khanh Hoa province for the period 2021-2025; (2) Decision No. 1719/QD-UBND of Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee dated June 24, 2021 on promulgating the plan to implement the Human Resource Development Program of Khanh Hoa province for the period 2021-2025; and (3) Plan No. 3322/KH-UBND of Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee dated April 10, 2023 on implementing the Vocational Education Development Strategy for the period 2021-2030, vision 2045 in Khanh Hoa province.

He remarked that "Overall, Khanh Hoa province and related units and organizations have constantly tried to develop high-quality human resources. Although labor quality has improved a lot, the rate of trained workers is not high, and the province's key industries are still facing a shortage of highly skilled human resources. Vocational training currently does not fully meet the needs of both apprentices and employers. After being trained, some professions cannot be as effective as expected, and maintaining employment in the trained profession faces many difficulties. In general, the connection between vocational education institutions and businesses is still limited." Dr. Dinh Cong Khai - Deputy Director of UEH - presenting UEH's presentation was a highlight of the Forum as it focused on sharing the problems and bottlenecks of Khanh Hoa province's labor force over time and the relationship between: (i) Khanh Hoa and the North Central region and Central Coast and Southeast region, (ii) Khanh Hoa with Da Nang and 6 provinces in the Southeast region. At the forum, Dr. Dinh Cong Khai emphasized the completion of infrastructure and traffic connections between Khanh Hoa with the Central Highlands and Southeast regions, plus the strength of the province having both a seaport and an international airport, creating the new prerequisites to change the growth model, aiming to strongly develop logistics services, marine economy, tourism, and attract investment in high-tech industries, clean energy, and renewable energy. Through the bottlenecks of Khanh Hoa Province's workforce, the UEH author group suggested several solutions to develop high-quality human resources for the province in the upcoming time, which must ensure the combination of three parties: localities, training institutions, and businesses. Most importantly, attracting and retaining talent through incentive policies listed as housing support, education, health care, and advancement opportunities will help Khanh Hoa build a diverse, talented, and creative working community. Mr. Nguyen Khac Toan - Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Khanh Hoa Province - delivering his concluding speech On behalf of the leaders of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Dr. Dinh Cong Khai committed to always accompanying Khanh Hoa province in training human resources to serve the implementation of development strategies in the upcoming time through training and coaching programs that UEH is good at, including including logistics combining seaports and airports, resort tourism, medical tourism, MICE, smart urban planning, government promoting innovation and digital transformation, valuation and investment projects, etc. Additional photos regarding the forum: News, photos:  Institute for Regional Development Research and Consulting Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology The signing ceremony of Memorandum of Agreement between the UEH College of Economics, Law and Government (UEH - CELG) and the Association of Certified Public Accountants (ACCA; UK) took place successfully on the morning of March 29, 2024 at UEH Campus A, 59C Nguyen Dinh Chieu, District 3.

The Program Effectiveness Report can be found at LINK. Accordingly, important messages about sustainable career orientation and secrets to choosing a career and school have been revealed by experts! 4 "insights" for students to position themselves for a happy future career before choosing a university Choosing a career requires understandings of yourself According to experts, the journey to choosing a major and building a sustainable career comes from understanding yourself. "Understanding yourself" emphasizes the need for students to regularly observe themselves and answer the question: What is my personal orientation? Fortes and interests may change over time, but personal inclinations are accumulated through experiences of studying, working, and connecting with the surrounding environment. For example, you are a rational or emotional person; like calculations or literature; like creativity or systematic processes; a comprehensive or meticulous person, etc. Personal inclination is the foundation for students to choose an area and field of study, accumulate knowledge, skills, experience, and be more ready to enter their future career journey. Accompanying the students, UEH introduced the tool to help students test and determine their personal tendencies based on MBTI and Holland theory. The Zalo Mini App version can be experienced at the website. Choosing a career requires understandings of the market Understanding yourself is not enough. Students and parents should learn about the market. In times of uncertainty, the rapidly changing world has eliminated some repetitive jobs that machines can replace, and at the same time, created many new jobs. Besides, employers in Society 5.0 appreciate analytical and creative thinking, AI & Big Data, and understandings of technology, user experience and user interface (UX/ UI) (according to the Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum). Therefore, to adapt to uncertainty, young people need to understand which jobs may disappear in the future or will become a trend. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly understand the "open" boundaries of job markets. For example, studying Human Resources (HR) Management, you can take on the positions: of Human Resources Specialist, Training and Development Specialist, Recruitment Specialist in the field of human resources. It is also possible to take on multi- and cross-disciplinary positions, beyond discipline boundaries such as Human Resources Management Specialist (linking between HR and Management), Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) (linking between HR and areas such as Business, Marketing, Finance, etc.), Business Training Management (linking between HR - Training - Business), Job Evaluation Policy Specialist (linking between HR and Effective Management), Salary and Benefits Specialist, Salary Accountant (linking between HR and Accounting), Internal and Cultural Communication Specialist (linking between HR and Communications, Public Relations), etc. Choosing a career should be based on the value of happiness In the journey to a sustainable career, each person should determine the value of happiness that work brings them. In fact, a career development journey includes three levels. The first is to find a job, that is, simply conquer a position that helps you cover your basic living expenses. This is the first need on the career journey. Second, employees begin to think about higher-level needs in the career they want to pursue, such as how they develop, whether they can progress every day, what the promotion path is, and the level of income growth, etc. Third, the last level, after working for a long time, high-level values ​​are satisfied, employees will recognize the value of happiness at work (inner calling), that is, the meaning that job brings to you. Understanding how universities prepare for careers in 5.0 era? Besides the three "insights", students and parents need to understand how universities will respond to the new generation of learners, labor market trends, and especially the impact of times on the economic and social context. Accordingly, global universities in general and UEH in particular approach education in 3 directions: Firstly, accommodate students with the most necessary knowledge in the 5.0 labor market. At UEH, students will have to study 6 fundamental subjects in all fields: Data Science ; Soft Skills (teamwork and interaction skills); Entrepreneurship; Psychology ; Design Thinking (approaches to problem solving according to design thinking), and Sustainable Development (awareness and action). Second, UEH designs programs in a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary direction. In a major, subjects are always integrated with others in the same field or other fields. Thereby, learners are equipped with diverse knowledge to have a multi-dimensional perspective to solve problems. Thirdly, internationality is expressed in 3 aspects: programs instructed partially or completely in English; international learning environment with foreign exchange students and UEH students participating in exchanges at foreign schools; and curriculum imported from the top 100 universities in the world with adjustments to suit the Vietnamese market. Understanding yourself, understanding the labor market, and thoroughly understanding the opportunities of modern higher education help students and parents take the first steps on their future career paths. A solid future needs to be created from what is right for them and based on multi-dimensional, comprehensive and trustworthy understandings. The talkshow on sustainable career orientation 5.0 i "Empowering Tomorrow" is the way UEH accompanies and helps the young generation position their future on this journey.

What opportunities will this orientation bring to learners? By 2024, UEH will have 56 multi-disciplinary programs spread across 11 fields, from Business, Management, Tourism, and Hospitality, to Computer, Information Technology, and Applied Engineering, etc. UEH multi-disciplinary  orientation is expressed in two main aspects: Area Disciplines Programs Business and Economics associated with Sustainable Development Business and Management Business Administration; Marketing; Real Estate; International Bussiness; Commercial Business; E-commerce; Marketing Technology; Hospital Administration; Public Finance; Tax; Customs Administration - Foreign Trade; Banking; Stock Market; Finance; Financial Investment; Insurance; Financial Technology; International Finance; Accounting; Corporate Accounting; Accounting program integrates international professional certification; Audit; Management; Human Resource Management; Business Information System; Enterprise Resource Planning System; Digital Business; Logistics and Supply Chain Management Tourism, Hospitality, Sports and Personal Services Tourism and Travel Services Management; Hospitality Management; Event and Entertainment Services Management Humanities Business English Social and Behavioral Sciences Economy; Political Economics; Economic Investment; Valuation and Asset Management; Business Statistics; Financial Mathematics; Risk Analysis and Insurance Pricing Press and Information Digital Communication and Multimedia Design Law Economic Law, International Business Law Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Agricultural Business Applied Technology and Design to Solving Contemporary Social Issues Computers and Information Technology Computer Science; Software Engineering; Technology and Innovation; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (Engineering); Information Technology; Information Security; Art Technology – Arttech; Intelligent Control and Automation Technology Logistics Technology (Engineering) Architecture and Construction Smart Architecture and Urban Design Mathematics and Statistics Data Science 11 UEH multidisciplinary fields of study Accommodating learners with a multi-dimensional perspective to approach and to solve problems According to the Future of Jobs Report released by the World Economic Forum, the top skills for future employees in the next 3 years are analytical thinking, creative thinking, AI & Big Data, understanding technology, design and user experience (UX/UI). In today's work and life, the application of technology to specialization is becoming increasingly popular. We have gradually become accustomed to digital marketing services; digital banking (E-banking), E-commerce, interactive virtual reality experiences in exhibition, digital museums, or larger projects on digital transformation in organizations and businesses with increasingly familiar applications such as SAP-ERP, Power BI, etc. Most recently, the Open AI with Chat GPT - a chatbot tool developed by AI, has been launched. This shows that the latest technologies listed as AI, IoT Big Data, and Cloud Computing are gradually becoming key to the economy and society in the near future. To put it simply, a future marketer not only needs to understand marketing but also website programming, reading big data, how search engines and social networking platforms operate, and other technologies behind that. Facing changes in the digital era, new-generation learners need to have solid professional knowledge and understanding in an open boundary, interacting and intersecting with other fields. UEH solves this through majors focusing on deepening professional knowledge and connecting with the required multi-disciplinary practice. Expanding cross-disciplinary job opportunities for graduates, creating a sustainable career journey Majors at UEH often provide deep and broad expertise, which can lead to different career positions in one field or related fields. Switching careers to a field or related fields is completely normal, it even helps workers improve their experience and ability more comprehensively in that field. For example, if you study Human Resources Management, you can take on the positions of Human Resources Specialist, Training and Development Specialist, and Recruitment Specialist in the field of human resources. You can also take on interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary positions such as Human Resources Management Specialist (due to the link between HR and Management), Human Resources Partner Specialist (HRBP) (due to the link between HR and specializations such as Business, Marketing, Finance, etc.), Business Training Management (due to the link between HR - Training - Business), Job evaluation Policy Specialist (due to the link between HR and Effective Management), Salary and Benefits specialist, Salary Accountant, Internal and Cultural Communications Specialist (due to the link between HR and Communications, Public Relations), etc. Unlike Gen X and Y who outweigh the career pathway, Gen Z and Alpha are predicted to switch from 2 to 3 jobs during their career. Therefore, equipping them with enough intensive and extensive knowledge in related fields is an important foundation to help this future generation be more proactive in important transformation decisions. Equipped with multidisciplinary knowledge - Understanding the diversity of the labor market - Grasping open opportunities suitable for yourself - these will be the keywords that the future generation of employees need to pursue in their construction of a sustainable career.

In the first episode, Assoc.Prof. Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Khanh - Marketing Director of Navigos Group Vietnam (owner of Vietnamworks) guided young people on how to understand themselves, and skills to respond and adapt to an uncertain labor market. Continuing the journey of helping students find the three "understandings", including understanding yourselves, understanding the market, and understanding how majors are taught in university, these two experts and Assoc.Prof. Tran Ha Minh Quan, Director of International School of Business ISB, would provide a multi-dimensional perspective on the market and how universities design programs and implement teaching to keep up with trends in an uncertain society. According to Assoc.Prof. Bui Quang Hung, today's higher education is built on two factors: keeping up with the trends of the times and meeting the needs of the labor market. Accordingly, universities will have significant changes in designing programs towards multi-dimensional, regional and international impacts. That means, after graduating, students have enough skills to develop in both the domestic and global markets. Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Khanh also commented that: instead of looking to large economic centers like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, laborers can develop in potential local labor markets as fully equipped with the necessary skill sets at university and understandings of the context. Assoc.Prof. Tran Ha Minh Quan emphasized that if previous generations listed as Gen X or Y favored a stable career path, Gen Alpha and later generations would have a career path that change at least once or twice into unrelated or closely related fields. That was why universities have strived to accommodate new generations of learners with multi-disciplinary knowledge to be ready for these transitions. Therefore, with new trends and market shifts, students would have more choices and need to clearly understand the content and teaching methods of the school before making the decision to transition from high school to university. This will be answered by experts in the 2nd  Empowering Tomorrow discussion. Empowering Tomorrow was co-organized by University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) in collaboration with VnExpress Newspaper, Truong Nguoi Ta fanpage, and live on UEH fanpage channel, UEH Youtube Channel, VnExpress and Truong Nguoi Ta fanpages. Career orientation is a necessary activity for sustainable development for the future of the young generation, especially for middle and high school students. Accordingly, with the theme "Sustainable Career Orientation 5.0", the program consisted of two episodes with the goal of helping students make decisions about choosing the right career and university. This was an important milestone, requiring adolescents to have a more general view of themselves, the market, and the education system. “5.0 – the era of a super smart society” will happen with a timeline determined to be 2035 or possibly earlier. This leads to an explosion of many keywords listed as "the rise of super technologies", "enhanced human-machine interaction", and "putting people at the center" and so on. This change impacts people, the labor market, and how universities design their programs. Therefore, Empowering Tomorrow and its team of experts will help students answer their questions, leading to the making the right decisions for university. Through this, parents can also receive a lot of information and solutions to accompany their children in the future planning process.

Contrary to the common perception that "the training quality of local university branches is often not equal to the main campus", UEH strives to unify "One value - One degree - One brand" between the Campuses and the inherent reputation of UEH. This is reflected in the strict output standards of each subject, program, semester of study, and graduation requirements. UEH’s degree is identical at all campuses Among the students graduating in March 2024, 100% of new graduates from UEH Vinh Long graduated with High Distinction, Distinction, and Good results. Besides, some students were not granted for graduation during this time. The main reason was that some students have not met graduation requirements yet, especially foreign language standards. “The motto "On-the-spot understanding - Practicality - Quality assurance" has been consistent by the school in all training and teaching activities since the establishment of the local campus. We do appreciate the efforts of the new students at Vinh Long campus who graduated early this time. This is the first generation of high-quality human resources that the Campus provides to the Mekong Delta region. Besides, the school does not equate quantity and quality. Only students who meet the output standards will be considered for graduation. This is one of the ways to help UEH maintain its brand value and degree quality whether it is the main campus or local branches." – Associate Professor  Bui Quang Hung, Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - UEH, Director of UEH Vinh Long said. Associate Professor Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - UEH, Director of UEH Vinh Long - awarding degrees to new graduates The first generation from UEH Vinh Long supplies the high-quality human resources of the Mekong Delta region The new students who graduated with High Distinction and Distinction this time are in the fields of International Business, Accounting, Management, Banking, Agricultural Economics, and E-commerce.

Among them, the valedictorian majored in Agricultural Business, with an Excellent degree and a final average score of 9.25. These new "UEH standard" graduates from UEH Vinh Long have continued to work with the school to solve the problem of the low rate of high-quality labor in this area (The rate of high-quality labor in the Mekong Delta is only approximately 15% more than the national average of 24.5%). 100% of new graduates of UEH Vinh Long K46 graduated in March 2024 with High Distinction, Distinction, Good results More specifically, through a survey of post-graduation aspirations of the school, most new graduates of UEH Vinh Long want to work in the largest center of food, foodstuff, seafood, and fruit production and export in the country. Among them, some students already found a job even before receiving their degree. “When I started my study journey at UEH Vinh Long, I cherished the dream of contributing and building a career in my hometown of Dong Thap and the Mekong Delta region. I desire to contribute to the development of my homeland by taking advantage of the knowledge and skills I have accumulated. I am happier when I have the honor of becoming a member of the UEH Vinh Long family through the program "Find good colleagues, find enthusiastic teachers". I believe that by working at the school, I can continue to study and contribute to human resource training, contributing to exploiting and making better use of the potential of the Mekong Delta in the future, where there are many benefits in terms of natural resources and geographical location.” – shared by new graduate Thai Thuy Tien, majoring in Economics - Agricultural Business, in Economics.

It can be stated that this generation of K46 students at UEH, in general, and UEH Vinh Long, in particular, is very special as they have overcome difficulties with the school and become familiar with the form of online learning and examinations, which is unprecedented because of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The geographical distance between lecturers and students and the interrupted semesters due to social distancing required the students to highly focus in addition to operational efforts from the school. This is also the group of students who witnessed the history of UEH as the school was officially recognized as one of the seven multi-disciplinary universities in the country. They are the generation that is clearly aware of the role and responsibility of a pioneering human resource of a key University. This is shown through excellent degrees and upcoming ambitions for the future. With those efforts, the new graduates of UEH Vinh Long proudly stood in front of historical hall A116, Nguyen Dinh Chieu campus, Ho Chi Minh City - a place that witnessed more than 240,000 students of UEH generations graduating and receiving their full-time Bachelor's degrees under the brand of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.

Once a degree was awarded under the name of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, this is an endorsement and a belief in the value, quality, and spirit of constant efforts of the generations called UEHer - regardless of place, level, and mode of study. “Today I went to Saigon to attend the graduation ceremony organized very solemnly by UEH University. I, as a parent, am nothing but excited. Although it has only been 5 years since the establishment of UEH Vinh Long, I realize that this is a reliable learning place for my children. My child chose this university and after 3 years he has improved and gained certain knowledge to prepare for life. ” – remarked the parent of Le Xuan Quynh, Bachelor in Accounting, UEH Vinh Long.

Workshop "Voluntary carbon market - Opportunities and challenges for Vietnamese businesses" Carbon markets are an important economic tool in promoting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. The carbon market is divided into two types: Mandatory market (whose product is greenhouse gas emission quotas) and Voluntary market (whose product is carbon credits). Voluntary carbon markets allow individuals and organizations to buy and sell carbon credits to offset excess or unavoidable carbon emissions on a voluntary basis. Voluntary carbon markets create an effective mechanism to help accelerate actions to tackle climate change globally. Demands for carbon credits in voluntary carbon markets have increased significantly in recent years as many businesses pursue social and environmental responsibility goals. As a topic that attracts the attention of many businesses, the workshop "Voluntary carbon market - Opportunities and challenges for Vietnamese businesses" was held on the afternoon of March 28, 2024 at Campus B University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City with presentations by two speakers, Dr. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhung - School of Economics, UEH College of Economics, Law and Government and Mr. Hoang Le Nam Hai - Institute of Smart Cities and Management, UEH College of Technology and Design.

These workshops were part of a collaboration between the College of Economics, Law and Government (CELG) and Professor Stephen Greenwood from the National Policy Consensus Center (NPCC) at the University of Portland (UP). The purposes of this partnership are to explore and discuss the principles of collaborative governance, dispute resolution, game theory, and how they can be applied to the process of making public policy decisions. Professor Stephen Greenwood holds the position of Director of Oregon Solutions at the National Policy Consensus Center (NPCC) at the University of Portland. With more than two decades of experience, his job is to help organizations in the United States and abroad find ways to work together effectively on environmental public policy issues. “NPCC has been regarded as a leader for many years,” was proudly shared by Professor Stephen Greenwood in the workshop on March 14, 2024. These workshops were taught by Professor Stephen Greenwood and coordinated by Doctor Le Vinh Trien. Many academics, researchers, and students from UEH and other institutions attended. The Rector of the UEH College of Economics, Law and Government (UEH - CELG), Associate Professor Pham Khanh Nam, together with Doctor Le Vinh Trien, Doctor Nguyen Van Du, and Doctor Do Kien Trung were present at several workshops to discuss these topics and participated in several activities. Topics discussed in these extensive workshops include: The first workshop on March 11, 2024, focused on the concept of “Collaborative Principles on Resolving Issues”. Professor Stephen Greenwood started the workshop with an enjoyable exercise outside of the conference room. Among the 20 participants, Professor Stephen Greenwood requested volunteers be divided into two groups and played a game of “keo co.” The goal of this game was to introduce the general idea of how collaboration would generate a better result with a “win-win mindset”. Professor Stephen Greenwood also described the role of trust in collaborative relationships and compared it to social capital that fosters future cooperation. He used the cases of Lower Columbia Sands and Vietnam Traffic to illustrate the applicability of collaborative principles in actual public policy decision-making. The participants engaged in the “keo co” game at the beginning of the first workshop Professor Steve Greenwood introduced the topic of “Game theory” in the second workshop on March 13, 2024.  He demonstrated an overview of game theory as the foundation for collaborative governance, as well as explaining several sorts of serious games that belong to game theory, such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma, Common Pot, Ultimatum, and the Trust game. This workshop highlighted the value of collaboration when dealing with differing objectives. Professor Steve Greenwood invited participants to play a Prisoner’s Dilemma exercise to become familiar with this idea, where Associate Professor Pham Khanh Nam and Doctor Do Kien Trung also joined. The results of the exercise showed that when people interacted with each other in a collaborative manner, instead of acting in one’s own interest, optimal outcomes would be achieved. Professor Steve Greenwood emphasized that trust can help administrators agree to one solution without conflicts. An overview of the workshop on March 13, 2024 Prof. Steve Greenwood introduced the concept of Game Theory “How collaborative governance can make programs and projects more successful?” was the topic of the final workshop on March 14, 2024. Professor Steve Greenwood went into greater detail of how practicing collaboration will improve governance and help in the creation of better, faster, and more cost-effective projects and programs. He provided practical steps on how collaborative actions can be carried out using his analysis of a project called “Levee Ready Columbia” that was under the responsibility of a group of government, NGOs, and citizen representatives. Doctor Le Vinh Trien added on by sharing his viewpoints on how using this approach can strengthen decision making on important projects. The highlight of this session was the “puzzle game” Professor Stephen Greenwood assigned participants to play in groups of four. The game’s outcome demonstrated that “contribution” when combined with “collaboration”, will boost teamwork’s efficacy. Dr. Nguyen Van Du gave a present from the University of Economics to Prof. Stephen Greenwood on March 14, 2024 A moment of gift exchange between Doctor Nguyen Van Du and Professor Stephen Greenwood marked a successful cooperation and a solid relationship between the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and the University of Portland in the United States. The University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) always aspires to enhance high quality educational experiences for professors, researchers and students by fostering domestic and international academic collaborations.

Not only creating an environment for UEH students to practice their English skills, this month, UEH English Zone (EZ) has breathed life into language learning through exciting artistic activities. Let's get into the highlights of this month with EZ! Spreading love - Gratitude for companions In the journey of growing up and maturing, perhaps the luckiest thing is to have close friends, those who accompany us regardless of joy or sorrow. But sometimes we hardly have the opportunities to express our gratitude to our loved ones. Understanding that, on March 7th, BELL English Club co-organized with UEH English Zone the event Speaking Group Extended: Friendtastic to create opportunities for students to "flex" about their best friends, and at the same time make new friends. And to take friendship to the next level, the Speaking Group Extended: Mutual Masterpieces was held on March 21st. In this session, students were able to team up with their best friend to draw a picture using their own unique artistic materials, this will probably be a memorable memory in their friendship journey. Enjoy time with loved ones with BELL English Club In the same spirit, on March 14th, English Zone Coffee Talk organized by the School of Foreign language and UEH EZ returned after a hiatus. Coming back and better than ever, ECOFF #36 brought a completely new free talk format, students can freely share personal experiences, discuss any topic and spread knowledge and spirit to everyone. “Intimate” time with  SFL at UEH English Zone Love and Art - Two but one? March is probably one of the most colorful months at EZ with a series of "new" activities. EZ Talks this month has undergone a remarkable transformation. Not simply discussing a topic, EZ has cleverly combined English learning with different art forms. Starting modestly with Fearcelous to commemorate International Women's Day, students had the opportunity to discuss and express their love for the superheroines of their lives. Next with the theme Marshmallow Day - White Valentine's Day, participants learned how to make colorful and beautiful bracelets to give to their "valentine". However, the most special thing to mention is probably the last two sessions of the month. The Poetez, held on March 19th, was the first time poetry was brought to UEH EZ. In this session, participants got the chance to explore poetry in a different language and different culture. Also, they got to challenged themselves to create their first works. And the last session of the month, EzTheater, where students watched award-winning short films right at the English Zone and discussed them, developing their English debating skills while enjoying good and meaningful films, it's "a kill two birds with one stone" deal, right? Immerse yourself in emotional activities at EZ Talks sessions Not only did the EZ Talks section get a new format, Board Games didn't fall behind with the new "Virus" board game - a card game that combines all the elements: fun, easy to understand, but still very competitive, which brought a very exciting atmosphere to English Zone right from the first trial round. Besides, the "classic" board games like: Werewolf, Exploding Kitten and Coup also reappeared and maintained their form as always. Dramatic sessions at EZ Board Games March at UEH English Zone has come to an end with many meaningful activities, contributing to improving English skills, developing personal development and connecting the student community.

Each element - such as fire, water, earth, and air - represents a specific aspect of human nature, from personality to emotions. CHAPTER 1: Fire and Water. Acoustic Show: ELEMENTEZ dived in and explored the inner world through 4 natural elements with the start of Fire and Water. The first chapter showcased dynamic performances that conveyed the intensity and depth of these elemental forces. It was the passion and fierceness of Fire in “Roar”, “As the World Caves In”, “Daylight” and then the gentle and soothing Water flow through “Safe and Sound”, “River”,.. Such a marvelous performance from the talented singers Hong Ngoc and Quoc Dat stirred the audience's emotions and at the same time brought in a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The event began with the appearance of Fire and Water. CHAPTER II: Air and Earth Transitioning into the second chapter, the Acoustic Show delved deeper into the nuances of the Air and Earth elements. In this chapter, the participants were able to engage in a more stable and resilient ambience of the element Earth as well as the flexibility of Wind. From “Unstoppable”, “Impossible” to “A Thousand Years”, and “If I Ain't Got You”, Midnight Pulse Band did not disappoint the audience when they transcended ordinary melodies and became something truly extraordinary. The journey continued, revealing the beauty of Earth and Wind. CHAPTER III: All together make it better All together, with the company of beautiful voices and the support of the band, we explore each element in each individual. We have understood that fire is not only about fiery or impetuosity but sometimes also warm and gentle. Or the water is sometimes also rushing, and surging differently from its usual quiet appearance. To wrap up the night,  Midnight Pulse Band helped the audience to combine all the elements inside of them through the beautiful harmonies in “All About That Bass”, “Just The Way You Are”, and “Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You”. Wrapping up with the cozy atmosphere at UEH English Zone. As the performances unfolded, laughter and shared moments filled the air, adding an extra layer of excitement to the cozy atmosphere at UEH English Zone.

Being admitted to the Data Science program of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) with the highest score and awarded an excellent scholarship from UEH of Nguyen Quoc Viet are the greatest achievements in the 2021 admission period. At that time, for Viet, Data Science was rather strange. Although Generation Z (those born from 1997 to 2012) was exposed to computers, the internet, and smartphones very early, and concepts listed as "data and information" are no longer strange, questions like "What is Data Science?", "What are the requirements of the Data Science program?", "Where to study Data Science?", etc. are something that worries Viet. After nearly 3 years studying at UEH, Viet has become more aware of the major and obtained many impressive achievements. Viet published 03 articles with reputable international publishers in Scopus: Springer (Germany) and World Scientific (Singapore). The first work is regarding applying deep learning techniques in stock price forecasting. The second work is concerning applying deep learning to predict user reviews on popular e-commerce platforms in Vietnam. The third work is on clustering and automatic label generation for banking data. In addition, Viet won an award in the "Young Researcher 2023" organized by UEH and presented his research results at thematic international conferences. Quoc Viet (in the middle) with members of his research group In a talk with Viet, he could not hide his joy and pride in his achievements. Viet stated that he loved this major very much. Regarding data science, it is suitable for those who have a foundation in logical thinking and a passion for learning. During your study, you will learn about programming, math knowledge, especially statistics, and related fields in technology and its applications. When hearing about Math, many of you will be hesitant; however, Viet stated that Math in Data Science helped him better understand how models work. This sort of Math knowledge is complicated for those who want to study higher. At the applied level, it is not that difficult. Data Science is necessary in most fields of business, science - technology, industry, agriculture, health, society and so on; therefore, career opportunities in this field of study are in high demand. Mentioning future directions, Viet confirmed that his upcoming plan with members of his research group at the IDA lab (Intelligent Data Analytics) under the guidance of their instructor is to try to publish 2 more articles in Scopus (a publication index of Elsevier, Netherlands) or ISI (Web of Science, a publication index of Clarivate Analytics, USA) before graduation. “I like the number 5, it's a beautiful number. I also like to research the topic of language models applied in chatbots or virtual assistant tools listed  as OpenAI's GPT or Google's Gemini. In my research group, there is Ms. Ha, a batch preceding mine, also the first batch of this major at UEH, and already graduated. She published an article in Scopus and is currently working in data processing and as an analysis at Momo (the company that owns the e-wallet of the same name with the largest number of users in Vietnam)" - Quoc Viet shared. With an IELTS score of 8.0, Viet shared that he planned to apply for a master's scholarship related to Data Science abroad after graduation. He aimed to find a new challenge to conquer, to gain experience, and to prepare for future work. Data Science (applied direction) at UEH - Choosing to master the digital technology race Developed according to UEH's Technology and Applied Computing orientation, the Data Science program was launched to anticipate the explosion of big data with the strong development of Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Augmented Reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoTs). Data science is the science of managing and analyzing data to find insights, actionable knowledge, and action-led decisions. Data science consists of three main parts: (i) initializing and managing data, (ii) analyzing data, and (iii) turning analytical results into actionable value. The analysis and use of analytical results rely on three sources of knowledge: (i) mathematical statistics, (ii) computer science, and (iii) knowledge of specific applications. The knowledge areas of data science include Data mining, Statistics, Machine learning, Analysis, and Programming. UEH's Data Science program aims to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to become experts and managers in the field of data science. Learners are competent to participate in data-related work, including planning, collecting, pre-processing data (especially big data), and applying data management models, statistical methods, machine learning methods, and data analysis tools to solve economic, business, and management problems. In addition, students are equipped with foreign language skills, supplemented with background knowledge related to economics, and continuously updated with the latest standards and data technologies to improve quality and increase the ability to integrate and meet the increasing needs of businesses in the context of the digital economy. Wide career prospects and desirable salaries in the Data Science industry After graduating from Data Science, students will have a variety of different job options: - Data Analyst in businesses in E-commerce, marketing, finance and banking, telecommunications, etc.; - Data Engineer at technology enterprises and production businesses with data departments or centers; - Specialist or manager of data science projects (Data scientist); - Expert in researching and applying data science solutions in business and enterprise management.

Let's join DSA to explore and select good job opportunities in the new market trend! Groups of industries with high demand for human resources in Vietnam To identify emerging trends in the job market, in 2023, the Center of Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labor Market Information HCMC (FALMI) surveyed the recruitment needs of nearly 75,000 businesses with nearly 305,000 job openings. Industries with the highest recruitment demand in 2023 (Source: FALMI) With many emerging recruitment trends, what do we need to adapt well to it? If you can't fully answer that question yet, here are some tips you can take to boost your future career planning. Essential skills in the digital age According to Bernard Marr, author of the book "Future Skills: The 20 skills and competencies everyone needs to succeed in a digital world", he believes that the most sought-after skills will fall into one of two groups: In other words, some skills will belong to the field of technology, while others are soft skills. But they often have one thing in common: they allow us to leverage specific skills in a world where machines are becoming increasingly complex. Specifically, the required skill sets are: In addition to the above skills, here are some things you can do right now to increase your job application potential: Connect from university Building a network provides an opportunity to gain insights from different perspectives and experiences, helping us to enhance both our learning and personal development, and this has been made easy through different platforms. From internships to research projects, relationships can open doors that we never thought possible. Therefore, building a network early in your academic career will lay a solid foundation for future job search and career development. Be interested in the business Instead of trying to make yourself the most interesting person, the one who looks really "experienced", show the interviewer how interested you are in the opportunity. You should provide examples of how you have tackled past challenges and successes to demonstrate how you can contribute to the organization. Don't forget to use the STAR method to communicate your experience and achievements in a concise and engaging way. Go the extra mile Going the extra mile can make all the difference when applying for an internship. If there is an event, webinar, or skill-building opportunity related to the internship, attend it. Employers notice when you put in the effort and will remember the candidates who show up to their events multiple times. Additionally, these small actions set you apart from other candidates and show that you are genuinely invested in the position. UEH SHARING – CAREER FAIR: CONNECTING KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE Evidently, continuously updating yourself with recruitment trends and developing your skills are essential for increasing your chances of getting a fulfilling job. At UEH, informative and practical events like UEH Sharing – Career Fair will play a crucial role in identifying the trends, requirements, and characteristics of various careers so that you can determine your career goals. This annual event, organized by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City for the past 25 years, is a place to CONNECT the COMMUNITY of organizations, businesses, and individuals; SPREAD KNOWLEDGE and provide a HIGH-QUALITY HUMAN RESOURCE; and accompany organizations and individuals to ACT SUSTAINABLY, fulfill social responsibility, and promote the brand. In 2024, UEH Sharing – Career Fair is expected to attract more than 60 booths from businesses participating in recruitment from the fields of Banking – Finance – Insurance, Securities, Accounting, Auditing, Consulting, Consumer Goods – Food, Technology – E-commerce, Construction – Real Estate, Trade – Import-Export – Logistics, Manufacturing – Materials – Energy, Technology and Design, etc. Thereby, it will bring thousands of attractive job positions through direct and online recruitment, providing information about the labor market, career trends, and diverse internship opportunities for participants.

Garbage, noise, negative impacts on local cultures are factors primarily leading to environmental destruction and disruption of local community life", remarked Mr. Duong Ngoc Thang - Lecturer of the School of Tourism, UEH College of Business when mentioning the negatives of tourism, at the seminar 'Finding the Shape of Responsible Travel in Tourism Businesses'. Recognizing the possible negative impacts of tourism, taking action to minimize them is necessary. At the seminar "Finding the Shape of Responsible Travel in Tourism Businesses" taking place at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) on March 9, 2024, guests involved in discussions and sharing perspectives on performing responsibility for tourism today. The seminar "Finding the Shape of Responsible Travel in Tourism Businesses" was held at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City on the morning of March 9, 2024. Photo: Gia Nghi Some opinions say that practicing responsible travel contributes to protecting the environment and human culture as well as is also an important factor in shaping and enhancing the reputation of tourism businesses. However, there are many challenges surrounding the implementation of responsible travel, making many businesses hesitant. This is easily comprehensible, according to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Toan - Director of Image Travel & Events Company, member of the Safe Destination Initiative: "The improper understanding of responsible travel, as well as blaming the responsibility on the government is the major issue that makes many travel businesses afraid. The lack of understanding results in no action taken since no one thinks that they are involved. The mindset that this is something that the government must do first and then businesses will follow also results in no one performing it." Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Toan - Director of Image Travel & Events Company - presenting at the seminar on the morning of March 9 Mr. Toan added that awareness of responsible travel among domestic tourists is not high; therefore, the pressure is not significant. Some charitable activities, although not representing responsible travel, are enough to satisfy tourists. A young participant sharing his viewpoint at the seminar. Photo: Gia Nghi At the seminar, guests and speakers together evaluated and shaped "responsible travel" in the world and in Vietnam. According to Dr. Doan Duc Minh - Vice Dean of the School of Tourism, UEH College of Business: "Sustainable tourism not only take advantage of the environment and local culture but also promotes regeneration. Things like collecting trash and planting trees are just small actions in a chain of sustainable tourism activities that include building, using, and regenerating. Responsible travel must be both building, using and regenerating.” Involving in taking actions showing responsibility for tourism not only needs to be performed by tourism agencies but also by tourists, Dr. Doan Duc Minh added. Dr. Doan Duc Minh - Vice Dean of the School of Tourism, UEH College of Business - discussing at the seminar. Photo: Gia Nghi Representing the WAFORT responsible travel community - the organizer of the seminar, Mr. Hoang Trong Quyen stated: "Comprehensive strategies to achieve sustainable goals are based on policies, strategies, and management tactics and financial potential to implement sustainable travel. Responsible travel includes responsible agencies, responsible destinations, and responsible tourists. Revolving around the story of responsible travel, tourism organizers and experts also mentioned the issue of widespread communication. “Many people think that collecting trash is not their duty and should be conducted by environmental sanitation teams, then they have no responsibility to do it. Even if trash is collected, it has yet to be enough and it's a waste of time. However, although the amount of trash collected is not much, this action has the power to communicate and change perceptions, making it more meaningful to those who see it. At least they will no longer litter," one guest shared his opinion at the discussion. Also talking about this, Mr. Vo Hong Van - Member of the Editorial Board of Saigon Economic Magazine - also discussed the role of the media in responsible tourism. According to him, media plays an important role in spreading the messages and values ​​that responsible travel benefits not only tourists and travel companies but also destinations and local communities. Mr. Vo Hong Van - Member of the Editorial Board of Saigon Economic Magazine – discussing the role of the media in responsible travel at the seminar. “If green and responsible actions are communicated and connected, they will spread better to the community. Doing this not only enhances the reputation of the organizing unit but also shapes readers' minds, helping them better know and understand the unit," said Mr. Vo Hong Van. The seminar had the participation of businesses and tourism researchers, and attracted many young people and students from universities in the city. Photo: Gia Nghi From the perspective of a travel business, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Toan, Director of Image Travel & Events remarked that businesses need to meet the requirements of "responsible travel" on all three aspects of sustainable impacts, including economics, environment, and society. In addition to sharing and discussion, the seminar also organized exchange activities in many different forms, especially "forum theater". This was a show addressing issues related to responsible travel through unexpected situations. The actors led and moderated the situations, and the audience was encouraged to participate and contribute to the play, and offer solutions for each situation.

Overview of the Conference On behalf of UEH, there was the participation of Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the University Council; Prof.Dr. Vo Xuan Vinh - Director of the Institute of Business Research; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dang Khoa - Director of Management Program, UEH College of Business. Conference Chairing Committee On behalf of DUE, there was the presence of Prof.Dr. Truong Ba Thanh - Chairman of Da Nang Economic Association; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Vu - Director of Danang University; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Vo Thi Thuy Anh - Chairman of the DUE Council; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Huy - Principal of DUE; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Doan Ngoc Phi Anh - Vice Principal of DUE; Dr. Huynh Thi Hong Hanh - Vice Principal of DUE. Delegates attending the Conference Speaking to welcome the Conference, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Huy - Principal of DUE - remarked: "The fourth industrial revolution has been creating strong and unprecedented changes on a global scale. Countries, including Vietnam, are trying to take advantage of the strong development of the digital economy and technology to create a new competitive edge and seek faster and more sustainable development drivers. In particular, for Vietnam, promoting the digital economy can be considered one of the important strategies to restructure the economy and join the global high-value chain to break the middle-income trap in the last decade. The Government's recent strategies and policies for digital transformation, technology development, and promoting economic sectors associated with digital technology have had certain successes. The proportion of digital economy in Vietnam's GDP in 2023 will reach 16.5% with a growth rate of about 20%/year. Google's report evaluates Vietnam's digital economic growth rate as the fastest in Southeast Asia for 2 consecutive years (2022, 2023), 3.5 times higher than the GDP growth rate. Vietnam is internationally assessed as one of the group of countries with strong digital economic development potential in the world. Along with great and obvious opportunities, Vietnam's digital economy is also facing many significant problems and challenges. Obstacles within the domestic economy listed as economic structure, technological resources, and business practices as well as unusual fluctuations from the world are resulting in risks and unpredictable impacts on the development of this area. Understanding the opportunities and challenges for the development of the digital economy is an urgent requirement of policy-making agencies, local leaders, the business community, and researchers. Therefore, the conference "International and Domestic Context Affecting Digital Economic Development: Opportunities and Challenges for Vietnam" is a practical activity, especially in the Government’s implementation of the National Strategy for developing the digital economy and digital society until 2025. I hope and believe that, with high focus and frank sharing, we will have solid information and solutions to help promote Vietnam's digital economic development." Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Huy - Principal of DUE - delivering the welcome speech Speaking at the opening of the Conference, Prof.Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the Council of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - asserted: "The development of the digital economy is happening strongly and creating significant opportunities and challenges for each country, including Vietnam. This development is driven by the remarkable progress of information and communications, and the rapid shift of the world economy from traditional to digital one. This requires countries to adapt to not only survive but also develop in the new era. Vietnam has been making continuous efforts to create a favorable environment for the development of the digital economy. The Government has implemented many policies and strategies to promote the development of the digital economy, such as the national digital transformation strategy, digital infrastructure development, and high-quality human resources training in information technology”. Prof.Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the University Council - delivering the opening speech Within the framework of the Conference, there were two presentations by representatives of UEH and DUE, including: (1) "International and domestic context affecting digital economic development: Opportunities and challenges" by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dang Khoa - Director of the Management Program, UEH College of Business. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dang Khoa presenting his paper (2) "Digital transformation - roadmap, capabilities, barriers, and challenges: World experiences and lessons for Vietnam" by presented Dr. Le Thi Minh Hang - Dean of Faculty of Business Administration, DUE . Dr. Le Thi Minh Hang presenting the paper Through the two presentations, conference participants better understood the current international and domestic context in which digital economic development is facing many opportunities and challenges. Adverse external factors combined with persistent internal restrictions have created a difficult and volatile business environment. In 2023, Vietnam's economy will continue to suffer "double impacts" from these factors. Recognizing these challenges, the Government has introduced policies and solutions to promote economic development. This includes the implementation of Resolution No. 01/NQ-CP dated January 6, 2023, and the Socio-Economic Recovery and Development Program. In addition, Directive 03/CT-TTg dated January 27, 2023 of the Prime Minister has set out key tasks and solutions to support businesses and people. In addition, digital economic development also plays an important role and is one of the three main pillars of national digital transformation. To achieve the digital economy target of at least 20% by 2025, it is necessary to grow 3 - 4 times faster than GDP growth, which is about 20 - 25% per year. This poses difficult tasks and requires groundbreaking new solutions to be completed. The conference ended successfully and brought many research values ​​for the development of the digital economy in Vietnam. The Organizing Committee expected that the conference "International and Domestic Context Affecting Digital Economic Development: Opportunities and Challenges for Vietnam" would be a useful forum for students, lecturers, researchers, experts, and participating delegates to exchange, share, and criticize issues related to digital economic development in the current domestic and international context. Developing the digital economy will help optimize resources, bringing many benefits, values, and opportunities. On the other hand, the digital economy will pose many requirements, challenges, and difficulties, requiring each country to build an appropriate roadmap in each stage, from building and perfecting institutions and legal corridors to strengthening investing in digital infrastructure and developing digital human resources.

Catching up with future trends, in 2024, University of Economics (UEH) Ho Chi Minh City officially implements an undergraduate program in ArtTech. This is also the first time an intensive ArtTech program has been offered by a university in Vietnam. 5.0 Era - the era of a super smart society is what will happen, and the timeline is determined very closely, 2035 or possibly earlier. "The rise of super technologies" - "Improving interaction between humans and machines" - "Putting people at the center" are the "hot" keywords when referring to this period. “Keeping pace with the times, UEH believes that more than ever, Managers and Leaders in Business, Economics, Law, Government, Data, and Communications need to understand and know how to apply Computers and Technology to expertise and operations. Therefore, with the view that "Computers and Technology cannot go alone but need to be linked with different fields in the direction of application to achieve optimal resource efficiency", in recent years, UEH has begun to develop new disciplines according to this direction. To date, UEH has implemented 18 programs (out of 56 programs) to stay ahead of these trends. Among them, ArtTech and Intelligent Control and Automation are the two newest programs, surpassing our inherently rigorous quality processes, and are officially included in the admission season 2024" - Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) - asserted. ArtTech – How to understand it correctly? “In the current context, ArtTech acts as an important intersection between artistic creativity and technological progress. History shows that pioneering innovators with radical visions like Nam June Paik, with groundbreaking innovations in the field of video art, predicted this ArtTech integration. Or Steve Jobs affirmed that the pinnacle of technological progress lies in the intersection with art" - Dr. Dong Su Yi - Vice Dean of the School of Media Design, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) (Former Global Creative Director of Ogilvy & Mather) shared. ArtTech is a combination of Art and Technology to create unique interactive art experiences, including digital art, multimedia design, Airtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), NFT, Robot Arts, Virtual Human, Interactive Art, Real-time Graphics, Generative Art, Transmedia art, Time-based art, etc. ArtTech training is all about the incorporation of Technology into Art, using the knowledge of artists and engineers to create creative works. Accordingly, traditional media such as painting, sculpture, and traditional music are integrated into digital technology, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other advanced technologies to invent unique and sophisticated experiences. Art and Technology expand the limits of traditional art, creating groundbreaking innovations that are practically applied in fields of education, entertainment, event media, marketing, creative industries., exhibitions, and performances. In fact, the history of ArtTech has appeared for a long time in the world. It started with early names as Arts and Technology or Interactive media, Interactive design, etc. The above programs have been offered at MIT, New York University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Tsinghua University, and especially in Asian developed countries using technology to serve outstanding arts, Korea, China, Japan, etc. Pioneering intensive ArtTech training in Vietnamese higher education Realizing the world's development trend, UEH has pioneered research and officially introduced the ArtTech program in 2024 with the desire to create a team that can combine conventional and new knowledge to invent art or design products providing a more interactive user experience. UEH's ArtTech program is designed by reference to more than 30 leading universities in the world such as MIT, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, ArtEZ, New York University, etc. The special feature of the ArtTech program at UEH lies in its outstanding content including Transmedia design, Cinematography, Interactive design, Art of artificial intelligence, etc. These are special subjects that provide in-depth knowledge for learners. At the same time, the program includes psychology and user behavior for learners to grasp and create the most effective and practical products. Right in the classrooms and simulation laboratories, students have the opportunity to experience the application of technologies: Artificial intelligence, Big data, computer graphics, visual effects, and cinematography. With its strong brand, UEH also promotes links with prestigious universities around the world to help students exchange from the second year to Germany, Australia, Korea, Macau, Portugal, and Italy. During their studies, students will be allowed to participate in practical activities with AR, VR, XR, and AI businesses and communities. Opportunities to grasp the future for Gen Z, who loves technology and art More than 40 years ago, when people used the manual hand-drawing method as the first exploratory thinking step before creating products to serve their lives, software design companies seized the opportunity to introduce their products like Photoshop and Adobe Illus, leading to the launch of other products about comics, production packaging, movies, etc. The art revolution ignited a new era with new terms born: VFX, Digital Art, etc. And, artists have gradually recognized machine-drawing products to replace the use of traditional hand-drawing art. We are being in a transitioning era of artificial intelligence. AI is currently the tool for humans to revolutionize If we know how to use and promote it, AI Art will make our lives better. However, to view AI as a tool to serve and support us in the thinking stage, we need to have the right mindset and rigorous knowledge to be able to select and create products with our identity.

This was an annual consulting activity for student candidates before registering for university admission in 2024. In addition, the orientation day was also an information provider to help students and parents understand more about programs offered by UEH. On that day, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics (UEH) Ho Chi Minh City - was invited to conduct face-to-face consultation sessions with the Ministry of Education and Training and major universities in the city to answer all concerns of candidates and parents. Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of UEH, member of the Advisory Board (fourth from the right) Answering questions from parents interested in economics about which sector is forecasted to have the greatest job opportunities for the next 5 years, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao shared: "Most students and parents want to choose a major that suits the needs of society to have wide job opportunities. However, in the current context of the country and world economy, it is difficult to make accurate forecasts for the next few years regarding which occupations will have the most job opportunities. In particular, in the current booming technology era, the behavior of consumers and regulators has changed a lot. Current training trends are transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and multi-disciplinary. Professions that have combined knowledge and skills in different fields will be secure for future university degree holders. Currently, there has been a trend of combining the application of science and technology, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence to solve traditional economic problems. Don't equate college with seeking a job. At university, what students enjoy is self-study and self-research to change and upgrade themselves so that their university degree is never old or outdated, no matter how the economy develops. Therefore, choosing a career that matches the development trend of society is important;however, what is equally important is how to study and study at what school. We need to choose a major that suits our qualities. If we choose to study a trendy field, but we are not suitable for it, we cannot exploit our full potential to develop. You should choose careers that resonate and are combined with the trend of technology explosion and innovation." Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao answering parents' questions In addition to direct consultation sessions with universities, UEH held in-depth consultation activities at its booth with the participation of lecturers and experts from UEH College of Business, College of Economics and Law and Government, College of Technology and Design, Vinh Long Campus, and Department of Training to help students from provinces and cities better understand the 56 multi-disciplinary programs at UEH, especially new programs starting to enroll in 2024 (ArtTech and Intelligent Control and Automation), along with new features in the university admissions season 2024. In-depth consulting activities at the UEH booth attracting many parents and students At the same time, parents and students can directly experience the "ArtTech, Architecture, Robotics" exhibition, displaying technology, art, and products designed by students of the College of Technology and Design with their specialized knowledge. Students learning 3D printers used in the learning process of the Architecture and Smart City Design program The students had the opportunity to experience Smart Robots, Robots dancing to music, Automatic Water Puppet performances, and applications of the programs: Intelligent Control and Automation Engineering; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Engineering; Logistics Technology Engineering Responding to a reporter from Tuoi Tre Newspaper at the exhibition, Ms. Vu Tuong Quyen, lecturer in the School of Media Design, College of Technology and Design, affirmed: "This is the first year of the Arttech program to be taught in Vietnam. Arttech is the intersection of technology and art. Those studying this major must love new technology and art to be able to create products that are closer to users in the digital age. This year, the school enrolls 70 students in Arttech. They will study with international lecturers from China, Italy, Korea, Germany, and France." Students experiencing the VR game, applications of ArtTech, and  Digital Communication and Multimedia Design programs As a key, national multidisciplinary university, UEH puts the responsibility of sustainable career orientation first, supporting the young generation to have a comprehensive and in-depth view of professions, thereby helping them to choose appropriate programs and become the best version of themselves.

To accompany parents and students in the process of choosing majors and careers, UEH coordinates with the Department of Education and Training of Provinces and Cities, Tuoi Tre Newspaper, and Ho Chi Minh City Education Magazine to participate in career orientation programs in 2024. Opening the Sustainable University Admissions and Career Orientation Campaign, on February 29, at the Binh Phuoc Provincial Cultural Center, UEH participated in the Career and College Admissions Orientation Session 2024. The program was attended by Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong - Vice Rector of UEH College of Business with representatives of the Department of Education and Training of Binh Phuoc province, Binh Phuoc Provincial Cultural Center and lecturers of Universities in Ho Chi Minh City. In particular, the program also had the participation of more than 1,000 students from high schools in Binh Phuoc province. Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong - Vice Rector of UEH College of Business (second from the left), member of the Advisory Board For the question: “University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City usually has a very high competition rate in university admission. How many targets are allocated for each method?”, Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong responded: “This year, UEH basically remains the same quota and 06 admission methods as it does every year. Therefore, the opportunities are similar for all applicants. Currently, the school is enrolling students at 02 campuses in Ho Chi Minh City (Code KSA), and at Vinh Long Campus (Code KSV) with the same qualifications. Tuition at UEH - Vinh Long Campus is 60-65% compared to that in Ho Chi Minh City, and in the final year, students will be able to transfer to study at Ho Chi Minh City campuses. Specifically, the methods 1,2,3,4,5,6 will have corresponding rates of 1%, 1-3%, 40-50%, 20-30%, 10%, and those remaining. Continuing the program, Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong also advised parents and students to choose study programs with international features: "Students and parents should understand international features in 3 aspects: First, whether the field of study/ the program achieves international quality accreditation. In higher education, two popular standards are AUN-QA (a network of leading universities in Southeast Asia) and FIBAA (a prestigious European education quality assurance organization). Second, whether it is a full or partial English-taught program. Third, whether the program provides the opportunity to experience an international learning environment such as networking and exchange. Not only the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, but many universities have joint programs, standardized programs fully and partially taught in English. Depending on the characteristics and strengths of each school, their programs are built to have different approaches. During this year's admissions season, UEH offers a very special program, the ISB ASEAN CO-OP Bachelor's program, based on the ISB BBUS talented bachelor's program, entirely in English with the goal of providing general and in-depth knowledge for students to practice and gain work experiences at large businesses and economic groups in ASEAN countries right during their studies at school. Participating in the program, learners can experience some modules at foreign partner schools and study some subjects associated with practices at businesses in ASEAN. After 02 semesters, students will be considered for one of two majors (Marketing, Finance - Banking) based on their aspirations, learning results and targets. In reality, the CO-OP training model between Universities and Enterprises has become more popular in developed countries, so UEH believes that this will be a new training product that meets the current need for strong international integration." Students who asked questions in the auditorium received gifts from UEH In addition to in-person questions at the auditorium, parents and students also asked questions via the hotline and live stream: "I like Information Technology and plan to register for admission into this major. I'm worried about if I should choose to study Information Technology at an Engineering university or at an Economics university with strengths in Information Technology. I hope the advisory board to share about this content.” “As a Multidisciplinary University, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) or any other schools all have their own strengths that are difficult for us to compare, however, UEH's strength lies in its economic, business, and management foundation. We provide applied technology programs, and our motto is that Computer and Technology in the future must be specifically applied to humans and work. Our students not only have an in-depth understanding of machinery and technology but also know how to apply them to solve economic problems. The technology program at UEH will be integrated with multi-disciplinary knowledge, promoting the ability to apply technology to professional operations. The curriculum is designed towards application and practice: 30% fundamental knowledge; 70% specialized and practical knowledge with in-depth application in the field. Depending on the approach of students and parents, appropriate choices can be made." Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong replied. UEH's in-person consultation desk at the local area The career and admission orientation program in Binh Phuoc Province took place successfully.

This was a training program organized by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) for leaders and managers of departments and branches of District 7 from 2021 to improve officials’ capacity to serve the socio-economic development goals of District 7 in particular and Ho Chi Minh City in general. Attending the Graduation Ceremony, on behalf of District 7 People's Committee, there was the presence of Mr. Vo Khac Thai - Secretary of District 7 Party Committee; Mr. Hoang Minh Tuan Anh - Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of District 7 People's Committee; along with leaders of District 7 Departments and Divisions. On the side of UEH, there was the participation of Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the University Council; Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - University Director; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of the University; Prof.Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of the University; Dr. Dinh Cong Khai - Deputy Director of the University; Assoc. Prof. D. Ho Viet Tien - Director of the Graduate School, with leaders of the affiliated units. Overview of the Graduation Ceremony The Public Management program at UEH was established in 2014. This is the culmination of more than 20 years of cooperation between UEH and Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University through the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program. Throughout its development, the program has been regularly reviewed and updated with new theories and emerging issues in the public sector from public management programs of leading schools in the world: Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Hatfiled School of Government, Portland State University, and with consultation and adjustment to suit the characteristics of Vietnam UEH's Executive Master in Public Management (EMPM) is designed for civil servants who are currently leaders and managers in public organizations. The aim of the program is to equip students with knowledge of economics, law, and modern leadership and management along with the necessary skills to take on leadership positions and manage organizations effectively. With the goal of training human resources in the public sector with a sense of responsibility and professional capacity, learners are trained in terms of analysis, planning, and monitoring skills through situations in lectures, helping them identify local problems and raise their awareness of serving the community. In particular, in the context of innovation and international integration, many subjects in the program aim to train the learners in terms of their negotiation skills, multi-dimensional information processing skills, and timely decision-making skills. In December 2021, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City launched the Executive Master’s Program in Public Management (EMPM) for leaders and managers of departments and divisions of District 7, HCMC. During 2 years of learning and researching at UEH, the learners have made many efforts, harmonizing their work and studies to complete the program with local orientations. 38 graduation theses were all closely related to practical local issues. Many of the learners’ recommendations on solutions for the socio-economic development of District 7 in particular and Ho Chi Minh City in general have become valuable references and have been highly appreciated by the Council. Congratulating and recognizing these results, Prof.Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - Director of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - shared: " In the 4.0 Industrial Revolution and international integration era that is developing strongly with profound impacts on the economy and society, scientific knowledge is developing very rapidly, requiring improved technology application and encouragement of innovation to professions. Therefore, new masters need to continue to improve their knowledge and foreign languages, and absorb new technology for their work, contributing their efforts and intelligence to make Ho Chi Minh City in general and District 7 in particular increasingly rich and beautiful. From the knowledge equipped from the school, with the ability to self-study and research from practice, UEH believes that new masters will become good experts, leaders, and managers." Prof.Dr. Su Dinh Thanh delivering a congratulatory speech Appreciating UEH's program, Mr. Vo Khac Thai - Secretary of the District 7 Party Committee - stated: "The Master Program in Public Management is the first graduate program under the coordination between District 7 and University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City for key district officials. Its funding is mostly from the budget. In particular, the scientifically designed program closely follows the requirements, tasks, and goals of District 7, helping students immediately apply knowledge into practice in their tasks of management, administration, and implementation at agencies and units, thereby, contributing to concretizing the district Party Committee's action program on continuing to improve the quality of human resources in the period 2020-2025". Mr. Vo Khac Thai Representing the students to share their feelings throughout the study at UEH, Mr. Chau Xuan Dai Thang - Head of the Organizing Committee of District 7 Party Committee - shared: "On behalf of the students of the Executive Master's Program in Public Management and District 7, I would like to send my sincere thanks to the University Council, Board of Directors and Lecturers of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City for their dication in recent times to provide lectures about state management in all fields. In the future, with the knowledge we have learned during the past 2 years and our personal experiences, we will constantly strive to study with the Party organization units in each field to better advise district leaders and the political system to implement the targets of the Resolution of the 11th Ho Chi Minh City Party Congress, 2020 - 2025". Mr. Chau Xuan Dai Thang, representing the students, expressing his gratitude At the Graduation Ceremony of the Executive Master's Program in Public Management for District 7, UEH officially awarded Master's degrees to 38 students who excellently completed the program. Developing practice shows that high-quality human resources in the public sector are decisively important for implementing strategies according to the policies of the Party and Government, thereby determining the quality of socio-economic development. Ho Chi Minh City, in the 2020 - 2030 period and with a vision to 2045, strives to become a comprehensive, globally competitive center and a driving force leading the national economy to develop rapidly. Therefore, Ho Chi Minh City has 5 major challenges in developing high-quality human resources in the public sector including (1) high-quality human resources for policy making, consulting and policy criticism; (2) human resources capable of planning and implementing strategies in the public sector, managing and operating public organizations; (3) high-quality human resources with the capacity to plan and manage smart and innovative city development; (4) high-quality human resources in environmental governance and climate change; (5) high-quality human resources promoting digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. As a key university in Vietnam with nearly 50 years of establishment and development, UEH has strived to contribute its efforts to the development of Ho Chi Minh City over the past time through developing and implementing programs in the public area with strong fields listed as Executive Master in Public Policy, Executive Master in Public Management, Master in Innovative and Smart City Management, Master in Environmental Management Economics, Master in Technology and Innovation, etc. In addition, with its capacity, UEH also builds short-term training courses to update knowledge for servants, leaders and managers of the city as well as localities and regions:  the program focusing on improving the capacity to build strategies for sustainable development; improving capacity to implement cooperative governance and mobilize social resources; Leadership capacity to promote socio-economic innovation in the digital era; or in-depth knowledge of international law to support the operating activities of senior ministries in the public sector in the context of increasingly deep international integration.

What really is the cutting line between the two half world population to join sport and take it seriously as a career? In a world where gender equality (or more broadly defined as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - DEI) is a pressing issue, the realm of sports has emerged as a battleground for change. Breaking down barriers, shattering stereotypes, and celebrating the prowess of athletes, the journey towards gender equity in sports has witnessed remarkable achievements and promising advancements. Let's dive into the transformation being taken to level the sport playing field and empower athletes of all genders. Gender matters in Sport context In the sport industry, genders have been misused as physical criteria to separate the game players into their so-called “suitable” fields, such as football for male and ballet for female. The reason lies in the physical and biological differences between the two sexes. Endowed with more testosterone in their body, men grow up taller and heavier with longer limbs, bigger lungs, hearts and skeletons which support better blood circulation and more muscles. Added with denser bones and less fat rate, men have more functioning abilities to do masculine sports, while lacking flexibility and dexterity. Meanwhile, a female's body naturally develops in the way that tissues in breasts and other parts are invested to be adjusted to her puberty and menstruation but not immediately contributing to sports performance. Differences in skeleton and fat rate between male and female bodies (Source: Bodybuilding Wizard) The separation of genders in sports, on the other hand, is believed to protect the fairness in games. Even in some states in the US, legislations were made or considered to be issued in which biological males are banned from playing women’s sport. This law was made to address trans people who love to join the gender sports that they wish to, to ensure fair competition among biological physics. Soon there will be a suitable playground for them where they are athletically qualified for and biologically defined, so that we can create a fair one for all. Nevertheless, inequality has been still a dilemma in sport because of the long-held perspectives of the relationships between gender and activity characteristics. Despite the emergence of female versions of various sports, gender-based discrimination is common, restricting the opportunity for this gender to participate in the playground. Research in 2019 points out boys get 1.13 million more opportunities in sports than girls. Although 84% sports fans are interested in women’s sports, only 4% of commercial investment goes into this sector. Even in developing countries, the discrimination is more severe when the women's prizes in sports are overshadowed by the halo from the other sex’s performance. The situation was no better in colleges when the sport teams were mostly dominated by one gender. While only a few sports were named for girls like cheerleading, athletics, gymnastics,... boy students are encouraged to join and supported in various youth sport teams in school. In 2021, a disheartening case happened at the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament when a video was posted by a female athlete about the significant disparities between facilities for two genders. Later on, there were apologies from the NCAA and upgrades of rooms but still the sad reality was there. If gender is no longer a matter in sports, might sport have a more prospective future? The incident in NCAA 2021 posted on social media by an athlete Achievements and Challenges for Higher Education Efforts have been made recently to bring more women and underrepresented people in the sport playground and career. In many universities, DEI experts have been hired to lead the change in the athletics department so far. National Rugby League Wheelchair held at some schools in Australia With those advancements, sport leaders can have a right mindset of not only gender-based inclusivity in athletics but also other groups of underrepresented sportspeople. These movements of the universities are contributing significantly to the pursuit and passion of many sport players who struggle to live their dreams. This lights up the hope that the situation of sports in the world can be integrated with DEI and more individuals are encouraged to participate in the playground they want. To achieve higher and maintain the right equity in sports, further actions need to be taken. What’s next? Every playground has its two sides, and the sports industry is not an exception. The most important thing now is to take measures and initiatives to ensure equal opportunities and treatment for individuals of all genders, and groups, in the sporting world. First actions must come from the sport institutions and organizations in which all sport players receive appropriate supports and provisions: The media tools play a significant role in the revolution by increasing media coverage and visibility of Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity in sport. It is vital to encourage media outlets to provide more coverage of women's sports events and athletes, so that the rate can exceed 4%. By featuring women's sports events on television, streaming platforms, and online publications, we could challenge gender stereotypes and provide role models for inspiring female athletes. At UEH, we are honored to organize an annual Sport Festival for our energetic and dynamic student athletes to enhance their physical health besides studying times. To embrace the practice of diversity and inclusivity, the regular sport event includes 5 games this year which involve both male and female students to participate in. In football, volleyball and tug of war, there are separate leagues for each sex and also altogether round for team games like tug of war. Of course, pairs of participants in dancesport are ensured to be fair in all three types: Chachacha, Rumba and Samba. In all shapes, genders, abilities and ethnicities, we feel most confident, excited and connected when playing in the same match on the same playing field. UEH Sport Festival 2023 including games for both genders In conclusion, sports are the games for all and cannot be limited to any specific players. It is a strong tool for people to bond, connect and express themselves. Everyone has an equal opportunity to participate, compete and excel at sport in an inclusive and welcoming environment. Gender matters significantly make a big struggle in sport and other industry, and take a huge effort of the citizens to overcome. From the small actions and policies made by UEH, we believe that sports can all be enjoyed comfortably and fairly by all of us.

This is part of UEH’s commitments for social responsibility and sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development adopted by the member states of United Nation in 2015 (UN, 2015) outlined a shared plan about peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future, the key strategy of which is to fulfill 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, universities play a crucial role in promoting and successfully implementing these 17 SDGs.  Not only do universities contribute to education, research for their sustainable development, but each of them has to transform into a sustainable university actively being involved in and addressing regional and global issues, and striving to minimize adverse effects on economy, environment, society, and health when utilizing resources for education and research in different ways to help society shift into a sustainable lifestyle. Being one of the pioneering universities in Vietnam having pursued the strategy of a multi-disciplinary and sustainable university since 2021, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has adopted a proper development orientation and approach to become a sustainable university through various activities such as training, research, community link, university operation and management, and especially constant endeavors to foster charitable activities for local communities.  For instance, “Loving Spring” – an annual meaningful program held by the Management Department of “For The Poor” Fund in collaboration with People’s Committee of Phong Phu commune, Binh Chanh District and sponsored by UEH – brought practical values and offered disadvantaged people a warmer Tet. In continuation of spreading this philanthropic value, this year “Loving Spring” was held on 1st February 2024 at People’s Committee Hall of Phong Phu commune, Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. UEH sponsored 400 Tet gifts, with a total value of 200 million dongs through 3 meaningful programs: - “New clothes for Tet” program: presenting 200 gifts to children of disadvantaged, near-poor, and poor families. - “Love sharing” program: presenting 100 gifts to manual laborers who cannot come back their hometowns for Tet holiday. - 100 gifts presented to near-poor households and those whose family members died of Covid 19. These activities not only offer the disadvantaged of Phong Phu commune a warm and complete Tet but disseminate a sense of love and community solidarity. We strongly believe that sharing love and giving helping hands will, to some extent, instill happiness to needy lives. “We believe that, more than anyone else, universities are the central factor connecting all stakeholders in society to together deal with particular problems constantly arising throughout the local development process. “Loving Spring” program sponsored by UEH is one of UEH’s pioneering efforts to better connect with communities with shared ideals. This is the act of a sustainable future.” – Professor Nguyen Dong Phong, President of University Committee of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. During the past 50-year journey with incredible progress in reliability and academic reputation, UEH always puts emphasis on social responsibility and aims for sustainable development. We are sure that together we will build a society filled with warmth and love, where people can share difficulties and happiness with each other.

In this research article, the author will focus on understanding and evaluate the factors affecting the business performance of insurance enterprises in accordance with the research data collected from the business results of 10 businesses in 2020. Concept of insurance business Insurance is a means of protection against financial loss. This is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of potential or uncertain loss. Insurance business is a business of risk, sharing losses with customers, insurance products as services that are specific, unique, abstract but very specific and more realistic than all other products on the market once the terms of the insurance contract are implemented promptly and effectively. \A contract of insurance is a commitment by one party or the insurer to pay a premium or assessment to another party, the policyholder or a third party, if an event is the subject of a risk occurs. It is often defined as a contract of indemnification. The insured person is not entitled to profit from the insurance but only compensated to the extent of monetary loss. Currently, to drive the adoption of AI systems and to realize these benefits, the insurers need to earn customer trust by applying new technology responsibly. AI can also help insurers enhance their role in mitigating, minimizing and preventing risks. Researches on factors affecting insurance business activities in Vietnam *The previous studies In the process of researching and studying practical documents related to the topic of factors affecting the efficiency of insurance business operations in Vietnam, the author found various in-depth documents in this field abroad and domestically, a number of quality documents are referenced, typically as follows: A typical recent domestic research overview is the topic of Nguyen Le Cuong and Nguyen Phuong Anh (2020) with the topic “Factors affecting business performance: Practices of Vietnamese securities companies”. Among the 7 factors included in the model, 5 factors have an impact on the business performance of securities companies. Specifically: The scale factor (SIZE) and the revenue growth rate factor (GROWTH) have a positive relationship with the business performance of securities companies; The remaining capital structure variable (CS), long-term assets to total assets ratio variable (TANG) and cost to operating income ratio variable (COI) have a negative relationship with business performance of the securities companies. The research by Gene C. Lai, Lin-Yhi Chou and Lih Ru Chen (2015) with the topic “The Impact of Organizational and Business Strategy on Performance and Risk in the Insurance Industry” examined the impact of organizational structure and business strategy on firm performance, profitability, and risk-taking behavior in the Taiwanese life insurance industry. The results indicate that organizational structure and business strategy have a significant impact on efficiency, profitability and risk-taking behavior. In addition, business size, industry, leverage ratio and market share have a significant impact on efficiency, profitability and risk-taking behavior. The overall evidence of the study suggests that a more competitive environment should be encouraged in the Taiwan insurance industry to enhance insurer efficiency. The research with the topic “Impact of Internal (Micro) And External (Macro) Factors on Profitability of Insurance companies” are conducted by two authors Anum Rashid and Muhammad Usman Kemal (2018). The findings of the study elucidate that Gross Premium, Administrative Expenses, Size and Interest Rates have a significant impact on the profitability of insurance companies. The results demonstrate that the losses incurred by life insurance companies, emphasizing the need for separate and actuarial departments to properly underwrite policies. In another study by Kokab Shawar and Danish Ahmed Siddiqui (2019) with the topic “Factors Affecting Financial Performance of Insurance Industry in Pakistan”, the results present that the total written insurance premium has a significant impact on all three measures of insurance viability profitability. The larger size of the company has a negative impact on revenue and investment returns. Additionally, claims, reinsurance, GDP, interest rates, and administrative expenses have insignificant relationships with all three profitability measures. Therefore, the study concludes that: to improve the operational and financial performance of the insurance industry in Pakistan, there is a need to focus more on factors that can increase insurance premiums. *Research model development In accordance with the previous research by Nguyen Le Cuong and Nguyen Phuong Anh (2020), Lai et al. (2015), Anum Rashid & Muhammad Usman Kemal (2018), Kokab Shawar & Danish Ahmed Siddiqui (2019), the author conducted to establish a research model for the topic of factors affecting the performance of insurance businesses in Vietnam, specifically the research model as presented as follows: The main purpose of the study is to identify and to focus on evaluating the factors affecting the business performance of insurance enterprises in Vietnam. To analyze this impact, the author tracks the simultaneous relationship between the factors Market price-to-income index, Net revenue growth, Pre-tax profit growth, Average customer collection time and Enterprise size on business performance of insurance enterprises. The research method of the project uses quantitative methods in accordance with the multiple regression analysis. Data was collected through financial reports of 10 businesses in the insurance sector. Conclusions and recommended solutions In accordance with the research results, the author concludes that 3 factors affecting the business performance of insurance businesses in Vietnam are: Market price-to-income index, Collection time average customers and Business size. In addition, Enterprise scale factor has the strongest impact, followed by Market price-to-income index and Average customer collection time factor with a lighter impact. Therefore, this research helps managers and policymakers promote the growth and operational efficiency of the insurance sector, especially insurance businesses. In accordance with the research results, businesses operating insurance business in Vietnam should increase their business scale and have business expansion strategies suitable to the potential of the insurance market in Vietnam. In addition, with negative results, insurance businesses need to pay attention to have reasonable policies in reducing the average customer collection time. Besides promoting internal resources, insurance businesses need to cooperate with each other in various aspects. Through the Insurance Association, members can have positive impacts to expand and orient the market, maintain healthy competition, combat insurance fraud and so on, creating favorable development conditions for entire industry. Not only strengthening domestic cooperation, Vietnamese insurance companies must also promote international cooperation.

This is an article in the series of articles spreading research and applied knowledge from UEH with the “Research Contribution For All – Nghiên Cứu Vì Cộng Đồng” message, UEH cordially invites dear readers to look forward to the upcoming Knowledge Newsletter ECONOMY No. #108 News & photos: Author, UEH Department of Marketing & Communication Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology On the evening of January 15, 2024, at the Launching Ceremony of UEH Student Scientific Research 2024, Representatives of the Project Committee shared the topic "From multidisciplinary research to a community of sustainable action", giving students a new and practical research approach, while creating a bridge to bring them closer to sustainable development in the UEH community. In the context that the world is increasingly facing many global challenges, especially issues related to the environment and sustainable development, multi-disciplinary knowledge becomes an important factor in solving current problems. Deeply aware of this necessity, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) is gradually transforming from single-discipline research to interdisciplinary research and sustainable action, choosing a new approach through the UMS and Living Lab models. In the sharing section, Dr. Trinh Tu Anh presented the Strategic Model of UEH Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University. This is a model directly related to the 5 pillars of UEH Sustainable University: (1) Training: Global Citizen - Sustainable Action; (2) Research: Research for the community; (3) Operations: From green campus to carbon neutrality; (4) Governance: Prioritize sustainable development; (5) Community: Community of people who inspire art and lead changes for sustainable development. UEH's sustainable development orientation model is comprehensive, in which Research is an important pillar, strongly interacting with the remaining pillars. Accordingly, Research with the orientation "For the community", is emphasized by the approach of connecting "multidisciplinary - interdisciplinary - transdisciplinary" knowledge, combining the community of stakeholders having common interests in many different professions and fields. The ultimate destination of research activities is to solve contemporary problems that constantly arise in the process of global development. Thanks to its openness and close connection with the community, multidisciplinary - interdisciplinary - transdisciplinary research has the opportunity to be tested in practice and go through adjustment stages before becoming complete solutions put into practice. Besides, the process of transferring multidisciplinary research results into real life is an important issue. To do this, it is necessary to have close coordination between researchers from different fields, as well as the participation of other subjects in society and approaches to applying interdisciplinary research results, including awareness, communication/transmission, social learning, reference, empowerment, influence, trust building, application/replication, effort and reevaluation. Applying these methods will help improve the effectiveness of accessing and applying interdisciplinary research results, contributing to solving practical problems more effectively. In order for research for the community and community engagement to operate effectively, Dr. Trinh Tu Anh also introduced the Living Lab model - an open innovation ecosystem operated with a user-centered orientation, making optimal use of the connection between stakeholders, whose core element is to integrate research, education, and innovation to solve real-life problems. For example, the application of the Living Lab model to solve problems of Smart Cities: this model can create an integrated research platform to jointly research, test, develop, and create innovative products/services/systems to thoroughly solve each problem of the urbanization process by applying technology and innovation in each specific locality/region. With a vision for 2030, UEH University from the stage of a "Zero Waste Campus" became a "Green Campus" and has contributed to the development of a sustainable University. UEH Green Campus  Living Lab has been deployed since 2023 as one of the main activities of the "UEH Green Campus" project. UEH Green Campus Living Lab was born as a living laboratory to solve environmental problems at UEH campuses, combining training - research - operations - administration - community, to form a formula that other units can adopt and deploy: At UEH Green Campus Living Lab, problems and research topics addressed are Students interested in the Sustainable University project as well as the UEH Green Campus Living Lab can find out more detailed information through the project's official website: https://gogreen.ueh.edu.vn/.

How about waking up every morning but have no clue what should be done and sit there wondering what is going wrong in your life? It is not uncommon to see these situations nowadays, especially in young people or even adults themselves. A sudden driving force may appear to boost our confidence, making us feel like nothing is impossible but in the end the momentum can not last and things begin to fall apart. To break free from such a cycle, it is of paramount importance to have a deep understanding of motivation and discipline. Furthermore, by cultivating a strong sense of motivation and discipline, it allows UEH students to develop the full potential, transcend the barriers to become a responsible global citizen. Now, let’s delve into exploring motivation and discipline as well as the correlation between them. Understanding the meaning of motivation: According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, motivation is defined as “the impetus that gives purpose or direction to behavior and operates in humans at a conscious or unconscious level”. In a simpler sense, motivation is a driving force behind our actions and behaviors, guiding us towards our goals and achieving success. Psychologists also divide motivation into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Source: Explore Psychology Intrinsic motivation means that we are working towards a goal because it is our personal desire. Such activities need not bring tremendous rewards but throughout the process, it gives us a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Examples of intrinsic motivation include learning a musical instrument because individuals feel a sense of pleasure in the soul or people doing workouts for personal well being. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation refers to a tendency to pursue an action for fear of punishment or to earn reward. Although the experience throughout the activities are not rewarding, we proceed to do it in expectation for something in return or to avoid punishments. For instance, pursuing a major to fulfill the needs and expectations of your parents or working extra hours in order to earn bonuses. Depending on the context or on the nature of the tasks or goals, each of the motivations would act differently and develop its own strengths. While intrinsic motivation paves the way for  sustainable long-term goals, extrinsic motivation often acts as encouragement and reinforcement. However, it is believed that motivation is often fleeting and not reliable. It only exists in a short period of time and will likely diminish when challenges come. Motivation itself can not be guaranteed to appear everyday. At some point, you may find that motivation doesn't help you get out of bed, to continue doing your work, hence, it is quite challenging to rely solely on motivation to achieve long-term results. This is when discipline comes in. Understand the meaning of discipline: Source: Collegenp After motivation has provided the fuel or energy for the “machine”, it is now the discipline’s part to take over to see whether it can run smoothly and resiliently or not. Discipline is the ability to have a sense of self control even with the absence of external motivations. Unlike motivation, which is unstable at some points, discipline helps individuals be consistent with certain activities. Discipline takes a sheer power of will, an ability to avoid all of the temptations and even make yourself follow a set of strict rules. While the nature of discipline is sometimes considered to be “dull”, the stronger your commitment, the more likely it will help you retain a more organized lifestyle, leading to long-term success. The most powerful feature of self-discipline is the ability to help form a habit that aligns with your goals to achieve the highest outcome. As we have all experienced, whenever we try to form a new habit, we often find ourselves struggling to keep up with the progress. This can be explained by the fact that our brains are resistant to changes and tend to prefer things that are familiar. Therefore, the main purpose of forming a habit is to make the difficult tasks seem less frustrating and become the ones that are automatic like brushing teeth, taking a bath on a daily basis. Of course, easier said than done. From being motivated to form a habit by committing to self-discipline can be a long and arduous process. The Interconnection It is quite impossible to determine which one is more important; however, instead of comparing the importance of both motivation and discipline, it is better to recognize the intertwined relationship between them in achieving long-term results. Finding ways to mitigate the weaknesses and leverage the strengths of motivation and discipline can lead to a more effective and resilient journey. With that being said, it is essential to have a holistic and suitable approach to embrace the synergy of motivation and discipline. Self-discipline can act as the key element that keeps the momentum flow during the time of lacking motivation. Conversely, a disciplined routine can sometimes lead to burnout; thus, this is when motivation injection is needed to refuel the engine. With the combination of these elements, not only can you be consistent with certain goals, it is also possible to find enjoyment in doing so. It was the extrinsic motivation that started everything but whether the flow can sustain or not depends mostly on our intrinsic motivation and self-discipline. In exploring the close relationship of motivation and discipline, learning a new language is considered to be an exemplary illustration. Factors such as personal interest in culture, communication skills improvement or specific goals such as for traveling purposes or seeking job opportunities play a vital role in shaping people’s desires to learn a new language . While the initial inspiration helps set the first step, it is our commitment to a well-disciplined manner and organized studying plans that guarantees a long-lasting journey. Having a well-structured studying curriculum in combination with enjoyable activities like watching movies, listening to music is essential to make the studying process more engaging and prevent yourself from burning out. Apart from that, treating yourself with a small reward after reaching learning milestones or sharing studying progress with other learners can be an effective way to recharge your energy. Source: Second Nature Motivation and discipline are undeniably important and indispensable in the journey of seeking for success. Depending on the preferences and abilities of each individual, the emphasis of one over another may vary; hence, it is unrealistic to implement others’ lifestyle to ours. It is not impossible to maintain self-discipline while sparing time to fully embrace and enjoy life! For the UEH students and those who are pursuing an academic journey or seeking personal growth, the first and most important thing is that we should be able to understand the conditions, abilities of ourselves, knowing which approach would be the best fit. At this phase, allow yourself to explore and experiment without fears; time and effort are required in discovering the right path. Furthermore, setting realistic goals is also essential to avoid frustration and demotivation. In order to stay committed throughout the journey, it includes the appropriate use of motivation and discipline. While external factors such as social media, influencers can inspire us to do things, it is our mission to define our own path. Balancing the elements of motivation and discipline is a way to make the journey more meaningful and fulfilling. In the end, it is you versus you in the battle of self-improvement and personal growth. Lunar New Year Holiday is coming around the corner, why not involve yourself in some challenges such as 31 Medium Challenge, 75 Hard Challenge, etc. to kick start your year with full energy? These challenges require your daily commitment to a set of certain tasks to build up your habit through exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness. Not only is it beneficial for our physical health, it plays a vital role in enhancing your capability to overcome difficulties. Throughout the process, it is possible to acknowledge the synergy between motivation and discipline; hence, allowing ourselves to make necessary adjustments to balance the two elements. Finding ways to succeed undoubtedly takes a considerable investment of time and dedication. Through a deeper understanding of motivation and discipline provided in the article, UEH hopes it is contributing to the reader’s process of achieving success and becoming a global citizen.

This is a scientific research publication between UEH and Ho Chi Minh City Statistics Department coordinates the implementation so as to provide a comprehensive view of Ho Chi Minh City's Economy in 2023 regarding the achieved results, the forecasts related to the prospects for 2024 and to propose suggested policies for HCM City ​​government. Part 2 of this article will provide in-depth analysis of Ho Chi Minh City’s economic prospects in 2024 and policy suggestions for the city government. Ho Chi Minh City’s economic outlook in 2024 The economic outlook in 2024 of Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general depend greatly on the world’s economic prospects. Most major research organizations in the world, at present, have the same opinion that: by 2024, the world economy will continue to recover gradually and it will be difficult for any breakthrough to occur for many reasons. Although the global production and the supply chain have presented the positive signs of recovery and are forecast to continue to improve in 2024, the risk of blockage or disruption is being rather high. Armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions are on the rise worldwide. According to the research by the Peace Research Institute Oslo based on Uppsala University’s Armed Conflict Data Project (Uppsala Conflict Data Program), the number, the intensity and the duration of the armed conflicts around the world has been at its highest level since the Cold War. With global production and supply capacity are being recovering, the fact that the price pressures from limited supply will not disappear quickly will make the fight against inflation in the US and Europe likely to last longer. Therefore, the probability that the Central Banks in the US and Europe will start cutting interest rates in 2024, especially in the first half of the year, is rather low. Both the US and Europe are forecast to grow at a fairly modest pace in 2024. The world’s second largest economy, China, is being in the process of resolving issues related to the crisis in the real estate sector. Although most major research organizations in the world recognize the Chinese government’s efforts to stabilize the financial system and boost aggregate demand, China’s growth is forecast to slow in the coming year 2024. The fact that the major markets for Ho Chi Minh City’s exports in particular and Vietnam in general are both forecast to slow down in growth in 2024 demonstrates that HCM city’s exports will hardly be able to break through in 2024. This will be a challenge for Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam in promoting the recovery of aggregate demand. With the drastic disbursement of public investment in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general, along with monetary policy, all of which are making efforts to overcome bad debts and to improve the liquidity of the banking system to clear the flow of credit into key areas, leading to recovery of aggregate demand in Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam are expected to receive a major boost in 2024, especially in the last six months of the year. Policy suggestions to promote aggregate demand In addition to continuing to disburse public investment, Ho Chi Minh City, in order to support aggregate demand to recover faster, can focus on the policies to promote people’ consumption spending, investment in asset accumulation by businesses and households (especially in the real estate sector), and exports. Ho Chi Minh City government should increase support and encouragement for businesses in HCMC to organize the discount promotions to stimulate people’ consumption. These programs need to be carefully evaluated and researched to effectively connect goods and services to people’ needs. An important policy that Ho Chi Minh City government needs to pay more attention to supporting and encouraging businesses in HCM City in seeking partners and expanding export markets to countries beyond China and the US. Diversifying export markets will help HCM City’ exports to minimize cyclicality and to grow in a more stable condition. In accordance with 2022 data, three potential markets in three countries where Vietnam has signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, currently, account for a very modest proportion of HCM City’s total export turnover, compared to Japan (7.16%), Korea (4.31%) and India (1.41%). India is, currently, an economy with high and stable growth. Continuing to reform the administrative management apparatus towards streamlining procedures to minimize time and costs for people and businesses in registering investment, production and business, especially in the field of construction and real estate. In the short term, Ho Chi Minh City can research, classify, and rank real estate projects in order of priority and focus resources to quickly remove the difficulties for the most potential projects to create the fastest impact in the short-term future. It is important that all policies aim at boosting aggregate demand in the short term that need to be placed within the framework of the goal of transforming the economic model in the medium term: Developing high-tech industries and financial services. The bank system manages and stably develops the real estate market to meet the housing needs of workers and supplement production and business activities. Ho Chi Minh City should, absolutely, not rush to pursue the growth target in 2024 at all costs and slow down the process of transforming the economic model in the medium term. The world economy has been being in the process of recovering after a period of heavy impact by the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions that are on the rise worldwide. Although the world economic outlook has introduced more positive signs, the road to recovery is forecast to face many challenges in 2024. Although it did not reach the set economic target regarding Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general will both achieve quite high growth rates in 2023 compared to other economies in the world. It can be stated that, by the end of 2023, Ho Chi Minh City’s economy will be recovering steadily after the severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. A detailed look at the data by quarter in 2023 demonstrates a steady recovery of HCM City’s economy. The recovery of aggregate demand is clearly reflected through many indicators on consumption, investment and export. This is a signal that the world economy is gradually recovering, and HCM City’s policies in particular and Vietnam in general in adapting to change, taking advantage of new opportunities of the world economy are moving in the right direction and promoting their effectiveness. To continue to support aggregate demand to recover further in 2024, Ho Chi Minh City government should focus on the policies to promote people’ consumption spending, investment in accumulated assets of businesses and households (especially in the real estate sector) and exports. In particular, a crucial policy to stimulate demand that is, currently, not being exploited effectively is diversifying export markets through supporting and encouraging businesses in this city. HCM City looks for partners and expands export markets to potential markets listed as Japan, Korea, and India. India is, currently, an economy with high and stable growth. It is essential that all policies aim at boosting aggregate demand in the short term that need to be placed within the framework of the goal of transforming the economic model in the medium term: Developing high-tech industries and financial services. The bank system manages and stably develops the real estate market in order to meet the housing needs of workers and supplement production and business activities. In 2024, aggregate demand forecast for Ho Chi Minh City’s economy will continue to recover; on the other hand, it is unlikely to have a strong breakthrough. If the world economic situation recovers favorably together with the fact that Ho Chi Minh City synchronously implements solutions to promote aggregate demand, the GRDP growth target of 7.1-8% in 2024 is hopefully achievable.

This scholarship was an incentive for each student's tireless efforts. KEB Hana Bank Scholarship is sponsored by KEB Hana Bank and HANA Nanum Foundation of Korea. In recent years, the KEB Hana Scholarship Fund has organized many meaningful humanitarian activities, awarded scholarships and provided materials to Vietnamese students who are in difficult circumstances but still overcome difficulties and achieve good study results. KEB Hana Bank Scholarship Awarding Ceremony 2023 at UEH Attending the ceremony, on behalf of KEB Hana Bank City, Ho Chi Minh City branch, were Mr. Cho SukMin - Senior Director of KEB Hana Bank; Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Cuc - Human Resources Director and Ms. La Thi Kim Tho - Human Resources Specialist of the Bank. On behalf of UEH side, there was the presence of Mr. Nguyen Van Duong - Head of Department of Students Affairs and 25 students receiving the scholarships. Representative of KEB Hana Bank City, Ho Chi Minh Branch (From right to left: Mr. Cho SukMin, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Cuc and Ms. La Thi Kim Tho) Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Duong - Head of the Department of Students Affairs - expressed his gratitude for the Bank's contributions and support to students who have made efforts to overcome all difficulties and challenges to study well. Accordingly, the scholarship became a source of motivation for many students to strive to study and to practice so that they, in the near future, will become citizens with the knowledge, skills and good attitudes to contribute to the sustainable development of businesses and the country. Mr. Nguyen Van Duong - Head of Department of Students Affairs - at the ceremony Mr. Cho SukMin - Senior Director of KEB Hana Bank - expressed his honor to be present at UEH in the solemn ceremony.

This is a scientific research publication by UEH and Ho Chi Minh City Statistics Department coordinates the implementation to provide a comprehensive view of Ho Chi Minh City's Economy in 2023 regrading the achieved results, forecasts, prospects for 2024 and to propose the suggested policies for Ho Chi Minh City ​​government. In part 1 of this article, an overview of the world economy, Vietnam’s economy and Ho Chi Minh City is to be presented as follows. Overview of the world and Vietnam economy *World economy By the end of 2023, the world economy is being in the process of recovering after a period of heavy impact by the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions are on the rise in the world. Although the world economic outlook has shown more positive signs, the recovery path is expected to have many challenges in 2024. In accordance with the World Economic Outlook forecast of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the world economy will grow approximately 3% in 2023 and slow down at 2.9% in 2024. Two decades before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average growth rate per year of the world economy is approximately 3.8%. In the US, the economy is coping well with interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve (FED) while inflation continues to cool down. The IMF forecasts US economic growth in 2023 to be 2.1%. However, the FED is committed to keeping interest rates high and prolonged to bring inflation back to the target level. The US financial market also indicates the signs that the FED’s previous consecutive interest rate increases have begun to have more impact on the country’s economy. The IMF forecasts US economic growth in 2024 to be 1.5%. Contrary to the situation in the US, major economies in Europe are generally affected by interest rate increases by the European Central Bank (ECB). The largest economy in the euro area, Germany, is forecast to fall into a mild recession in 2023 (negative growth of 0.5%), and the entire euro area will grow modestly at 0.7%. However, the IMF forecasts that growth will return to Germany in 2024 at 0.9% and the common currency area at 1.2%. In Asia, the Chinese economy is facing many challenges after a long period of freezing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IMF forecasts that the Chinese economy will grow by 5% in 2023 and slow down at 4.2% in 2024. The Indian economy is forecast to grow positively at 6.3% in 2023 and maintain a healthy growth rate in 2024. *Vietnam economy The world economic picture is full of fluctuations and unpredictable risks that greatly affect the Vietnamese economy. The IMF forecasts that Vietnam’s GDP will grow at 4.7% in 2023 and 5.8% in 2024. Although the National Assembly set higher targets, this growth rate is quite high compared to other economies in the world. In accordance with the research team’s analysis, Vietnam’s economy has quickly regained growth momentum after two years of being heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Figure 1 presents that the actual output (measured by GDP at constant prices) has returned to closely follow potential output (measured by potential GDP) as well as to regain the potential growth trend that was present from 2010s. This demonstrates that Vietnam’s economy has returned to a state of balance between the total demand for goods and services on the one hand and the supply capacity of the economy on the other. The balance between aggregate demand and supply capacity is one of the main factors that have caused the general price level of the Vietnamese economy to remain at the target level over the past decade, after a period of sharp increases fluctuated in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Figure 1 indicates that core inflation has been maintained stably below 4% over the past 10 years. On average for the whole year 2023, core inflation is estimated at nearly 4%. Although still below target, this is the highest figure in a decade. The main reason is that the supply capacity of the Vietnamese economy is negatively affected by fluctuations in the global production and supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and tensions caused by geopolitics. However, the fact that the core inflation fell continuously from January to November partly reflects a deceleration in aggregate demand and signs of improvement in global production and supply chains. This is a favorable context for Vietnam to continue accelerating public investment in 2024. Figure 1: Vietnam’s GDP and core inflation. Source: General Statistics Office and research team’s estimates Economic growth of HCMC in 2023 *Mid-term trend of the economy By the end of 2023, GRDP based on the comparative prices of Ho Chi Minh City is forecast to grow 5.81%. Of which the service sector increased by 6.79% and the industry sector increased by 4.42%. According to the research team’s analysis, GRDP is based on city’s comparative prices. Ho Chi Minh City is gradually approaching potential GRDP. This achievement shows Ho Chi Minh City’s economy is recovering steadily after the severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the largest economic center in the country, Ho Chi Minh City’s economy always achieves a growth rate higher than that of the national average and creates jobs for millions of workers from all provinces and cities. In the opposite direction, it is inevitable that Ho Chi Minh City’s economy suffers the heaviest impacts in the country from the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions are increasing worldwide. According to the research team's analysis, in the period 2016-2019, the real GRDP of HCM is higher and growing faster than that of the growth of potential GRDP (Figure 2). This reflects that growth during this period was largely due to increased aggregate demand for goods and services, which exceeded the growth rate in the economy’s production and supply capacity. To meet the increased total demand in the period 2016-2019, Ho Chi Minh City’s economy has welcomed a very large increase in labor force from other provinces and cities across the country. When aggregate demand dropped sharply because of the COVID19 pandemic, the labor force in Ho Chi Minh City also decreased rapidly when many migrant workers went to other provinces and cities. This economic structure makes HCM city’s economic growth has a much larger level of cyclical fluctuations than that of the national average. The hot growth in the period 2016-2019 caused population density in Ho Chi Minh City to increase, revealing many internal bottlenecks in the structure of Ho Chi Minh City’s economy, especially in terms of infrastructure and economic management apparatus. This is an important topic that needs to be analyzed and researched more deeply to provide important scientific arguments in guiding the development of Ho Chi Minh City’s economy. At the qualitative level, the research team believes that the increase in total demand in the period 2016-2019 is due to (1) export demand for labor-intensive goods (textiles and footwear) and (2) investment demand in the housing construction sector created by the real estate bubble. Therefore, the development orientation of high-tech industries and banking and financial services, besides the management and the stable development of the real estate market to meet the housing needs of workers and supplement support for production and business activities are important keys to Ho Chi Minh City’s economy so as to avoid repeating the hot growth situation in the period 2016-2019. Recovery trend of aggregate demand Looking at quarterly data, Table 1 shows Ho Chi Minh City’s GRDP growth rate that is on track to improve significantly each quarter in 2023 (compared to that of the same quarter in 2022). This reflects the aggregate demand for goods and services in Ho Chi Minh City’s economy that is on a steady recovery path, especially the service, industry and construction sectors. The research team expects aggregate demand to maintain this recovery momentum in 2024. A few indicators can indirectly demonstrate the recovery speed of aggregate demand. Figure 3 presents the total retail sales of consumer goods and services, along with revenue from transportation, warehousing, and transportation support services. In the 2020-2021 period, under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other negative fluctuations in the global production and supply chain, both of these indicators stagnated and experienced months of deep decline. The year 2022 will witness a modest recovery in both indicators. Figure 2: GRDP and labor force of HCMC. Source: City Statistical Yearbook. HCM and the research team’s estimations Table 1: Actual GRDP growth in the quarters of 2023 compared to that of the same period Entering 2023, both indicators illustrate a trend of recovery and more stable growth. Another important indicator that also partly reflects the recovery of aggregate demand is export. Figure 4 presents that the export value of Ho Chi Minh City witnessed a decline at the end of 2019 and the first half of 2020 when HCM City's two main export markets, China and the US, both experienced negative growth in GDP due to the COVID-193 Pandemic. From the second half of 2020 to the first half of 2021, the export value of Ho Chi Minh City began to increase again when the economies of China and the US grew strongly again after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, from the second half of 2021, the GDP growth of China and the US both tends to decelerate, contributing to a sharp decline in HCM City’s export values in the second half of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. Although many risks are being available, the export value of HCM City has started to increase again in Quarter II/2023 and Quarter III/2023, which is a positive signal.

Source: HCM City Statistics Department and Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis The recovery speed of aggregate demand in Ho Chi Minh City is partly reflected through the industrial production index (IIP). Figure 5 presents the percentage change of IIP by month compared to the same month of the previous year. In 2019, IIP grew at an average rate of 7.2% in every month compared to the same month in 2018. In 2020 and 2021, under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other negative fluctuations in the production chain, global production and supply, IIP in general decreased sharply compared to the same month last year. In 2022 and 2023, IIP regains strong growth momentum but is still unstable, especially in the last two months of 2022 and January 2023. Since February 2023, IIP has begun to grow more steadily and stably, increasing by an average of 6.2% per month compared to that of the same month in 2022.

Source: HCM City Statistics Department Some other indicators that partly reflect the recovery of aggregate demand are as follows: (1) the number of businesses entering the net market and (2) the number of new FDI projects. Figure 6 presents the number of new businesses entering the market in Ho Chi Minh City has a tendency to recover quite stably in 2023. This index had previously experienced two years of instability due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other negative fluctuations while 2022 had no stable recovery and a deep decrease in the first quarter of 2023. The number of new FDI projects recorded in Ho Chi Minh City reflects the recovery trend from 2022 after two years of instability in 2020-2021 although the number is below the level of 2019.

Compared to that of the same period last year, disbursement of public investment capital in HCMC increased by 0.25% in Quarter I, 164% in Quarter II, and 62% in Quarter III.

This research by the author of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics (UEH) conducted a survey of 544 customers in the Mekong Delta Region to clarify the impact of E-banking system service quality to customer satisfaction. The analytical results from the partial least squares structural model (PLS-SEM) demonstrate that E-banking service quality has a positive impact on customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta Region. Today, information technology and the Internet have helped banks build effective global multi-channel integrated distribution strategies from communications, marketing, sales, customer care and service provision and so on. E-banking services are considered an inevitable trend and a competitive advantage for commercial banks in the context of international competition and integration. Besides, the increasing number of Internet users has created opportunities for the banking industry to develop E-banking services. According to the website that compiles and provides free Digital Marketing reports worldwide (Datareportal.com), Vietnam has 77.93 million Internet users at the beginning of 2023, accounting for 79.1% of the total population. This has changed customers’ consumption behaviors from the way they search for information, plan, register and use services to evaluate services. However, when using E-banking services, customers often concern the security of personal information. Therefore, for E-banking services, customer satisfaction always plays an important role in business activities, helping commercial banks retain old customers, attract potential customers and contribute to the growth of service revenue and the achievement of the competitive advantages. The Conference announcing Planning and Investment Promotion in the Mekong Delta for the period 2021-2030 with the theme “New thinking - New vision - New opportunities - New values” held on June 21, 2022 in Can Tho City, under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister, emphasized: The Mekong Delta Region has a particularly important strategic position and role in terms of economy, culture, society, environment, defense, security and foreign affairs of the whole country. Therefore, the development of the commercial banking system in general as well as E-banking services in particular will bring benefits to both customers, banks and provinces in the Mekong Delta Region, contributing to promoting and supporting the future regional economic development area, contributing to fulfilling the overall goal of the Government’s non-cash payment project for the 2021-2025 period along with the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030; concurrently, creating opportunities for banks to innovate their business models, further promoting the development and the improvement of personal financial services so as to be adapted to the new situation. Nevertheless, when implementing E-banking services, the commercial banks in the Mekong Delta region in particular as well as the country in general face many challenges listed as improving customer satisfaction, retaining old customers, and attracting potential customers, contributing to service revenue growth and gaining competitive advantage and so on. Besides, when using E-banking services, customers often have concerns regarding security and confidentiality of personal and financial information policies, reliability and stability of services, accessibility and support from the bank and so on. For the above reasons, the study “The impact of E-banking service quality on customer satisfaction: The evidence from commercial banks in the Mekong Delta Region” was conducted. Upon considering the relationship between E-banking service quality and customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta Region, research results indicate that the p-values ​​of the t-test are equal to 0.000 < 0.05 and the impact coefficient normalized by 0.731. This proves that E-banking service quality has a positive impact on customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta Region. This result is completely similar to that of the previous studies on the relationship between E-banking service quality and customer satisfaction (Al-Hawary & Al-Smeran, 2017; Hammoud et al., 2018; Shankar & Jebarajakirthy, 2019; Sewaka et al., 2023; Ul & Awan, 2020). Besides, the fact that the adjusted R-squared coefficient is 0.534 indicates that E-banking service quality explains 53.4% ​​of the variation in customer satisfaction. On the other hand, the fact that the value of coefficient f2 of E-banking service quality is 1.148 (greater than 0.35) presents that E-banking service quality has a strong impact on customer satisfaction (Cohen, 1988). Besides, the research results introduce that all four factors, including: reliability, responsiveness, security and efficiency, have a positive influence on the quality of E-banking services in the Mekong Delta region. In particular, the strongest impact on e-banking service quality is responsiveness (0.475), followed by reliability (0.433), security (0.209) and finally efficiency (0.171) as the least impact on the quality of E-banking services. At the same time, this study confirms that E-banking service quality has a strong, positive impact on customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta region (0.731). The hypotheses in the research model are all supported at the 5% statistical significance level. The evaluation result regarding PLS-SEM model analysis The relationship between reliability and customer satisfaction with quality reported by E-banking in the Mekong Delta Region is completely consistent with the arguments in the literature review. These findings indicate that customers who are highly engaged in E-banking services expect more reliable services and higher standards of privacy for personal information as well as security for their financial transactions. The findings indicate that privacy and security play an important role in building trust and satisfaction with E-banking services. Customers are totally concerned about the privacy of personal information and the safety of financial transactions when using online banking services. When customers see that E-banking services meet these expectations, they will form more trust and satisfaction with E-banking services. Responsiveness is the willingness and the readiness to support and to provide quick service to customers, demonstrated through customer care and support during the process of performing electronic transactions. This is an essential factor for banks to attract more customers and to achieve long-term success (Sathiyavany & Shivany, 2018). Therefore, when customers receive timely and complete feedback and support from E-banking service providers, their trust in commercial banks will increase, making them more satisfied with service quality. The research results on the impact of E-banking service quality on customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta region are completely similar to that of the previous studies. In terms of E-banking services, in accordance with the study by Parasuraman et al. (1985), the effectiveness of the service is reflected in the speed of implementation and processing of E-banking transactions. This is one of the factors that determine the level of customer satisfaction. Typically, slow processing and response speeds in electronic transactions will lead to delays in service delivery and leave customers uncertain whether the transaction will be completed or not (Khan, 2017). Therefore, transaction speed has a positive impact on satisfaction and affects customer loyalty (Ul & Awan, 2020). Once again, the results of this study confirm that the speed of implementing and processing electronic transactions quickly will increase customer satisfaction as mentioned in the previous studies. Besides, the effectiveness of the service is demonstrated through its ease of use. Therefore, banks are constantly striving to provide easy-to-use, interactive services on the website to minimize the time spent on each online transaction (Almansour, B., & Elkrghli, S., 2023; Hussien & Abd El Aziz, 2013; Le, 2022; Sikdar & Makkad, 2015). In recent years, developing business products based on technology platforms has become a common trend for commercial banks in Vietnam, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic period that caused many places to be blocked. Therefore, in order to maintain business operations, most banks in the Vietnamese market have encouraged users to use services via the Internet. Therefore, this research on the impact of E-banking service quality on customer satisfaction in the Mekong Delta region will contribute to affirming and strengthening the relevant theories in the field of E-banking services. Besides, the research brings additional meaning to the literature that CMR theory can be applied to support within the research framework of E-banking services. For the Mekong Delta Region, the project contributes to promoting and improving the quality of E-banking services in the region, contributing to fulfilling the overall goal of the Government’s non-cash payment project for the 2021-2025 period along with the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030; concurrently, creating opportunities for banks to innovate their business models, further promoting the development and the improvement of personal financial services to be adapted to the new situation.

In this article, the authors of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) mentioned social policy responses in some countries, and on that basis, to draw lessons for Vietnam to be able to cope with the future epidemic crises. In accordance with the analysis of social policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in a number of countries, the authors have drawn some lessons for Vietnam in the second Part of the article. Policy discussion Although a strong public health response is arguably the most important and necessary step to address an emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic, it will not be enough to meet the short-term consequences and the longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by disease control measures. The policy responses of Germany, India, and the United States demonstrate the issues of social policy in response to the pandemic, and the link between social policy and public health policy is crucial. COVID-19 is a protracted crisis; therefore, emergency measures could last for years. What is special, the social policies implemented during emergencies can shape the country’s socio-economic recovery trajectory by identifying which losses need quick and long-term support. Paying attention to social policy responses allows the Government to gain deeper insight into the social determinants of health. The underlying social and economic inequality exacerbates the health risks associated with the epidemic and threatens to spread if social policies are not implemented. The connection between public health measures and social policy is important because social policy is not only a way to address the short-term health threat of COVID-19 but also an opportunity to address fundamental inequalities concerning socio-economics. The success and the failure of public health emergency response depend on its compatibility with social policy. Separating social policy and public health, in theory or practice, weakens both and increases the risk of both failing. The current or future pandemic response strategies should pay attention to social policy supports in the face of public health emergencies. Policy implications for Vietnam In order to build and to strengthen social policy systems and social security to adapt flexibly and effectively to pandemics listed as COVID-19, Vietnam, in the coming time, needs to pay attention to the following issues: * In terms of income guarantee policy – Economic recovery, after controlling the epidemic and ensuring income for workers, should be given special priority which is to quickly bring workers back to the market through strengthening supply-demand labor connections. – The impact of the pandemic causes the structure of occupations to change, many new industries appear and focus on the application of information technology and/or e-commerce; occupations requiring high skills will increase while occupations requiring demands for medium and low skills will decrease. Therefore, the issue of supporting career change training and labor market reintegration training needs to receive more attention, to help workers return to the market soon. Small business households and small and medium-sized enterprises need to have priority and incentive policies because this will be the force to recover faster than other types and to create more jobs to attract dynamic workers. * In terms of insurance policies Continuing to have policies to encourage and support employees to maintain their participation in social insurance, health insurance, and accident insurance. Promoting propaganda of social insurance, health insurance, and accident insurance policies has actively supported and supported workers in particular and people in general to overcome difficulties caused by the pandemic. This is the most proactive and sustainable social security measure to make people clearly recognize the superior nature of the social insurance policy that our Party and State builds, manages and protects. – Paying more attention to coordination between Levels, Sectors and Unions in organizing the implementation of social insurance policies, especially voluntary social insurance policies: it is necessary to amend policies and increase support levels. Supporting people to participate in voluntary social insurance in the spirit of ensuring fairness, with priority given to vulnerable groups listed as the poor, the para-poor, low-income people, people with disabilities, and people with disabilities. ethnic minorities, agricultural and rural workers and so on, all of which help them easily access and participate in voluntary social insurance. – Implementing promptly, accurately and transparently social insurance, health insurance, and accident insurance policies to support workers and people so as to overcome the difficulties through income, healthcare and vocational education supports. * In terms of social assistance policy – Promoting reform and resource allocation to expand the coverage of social security support policies for everyone, including those who are having difficulty in meeting their immediate needs. In the long term, it is necessary to build a shock-responsive social security system to strengthen preparedness and response to various risks, including economic crises, natural disasters and epidemics, through regular and unexpected social assistance. – Removing all barriers to administrative procedures to ensure an effective and timely process of identifying social protection beneficiaries, without discriminating against the most vulnerable groups (including people lacking personal documents, migrant workers and so on; at the same time, completing the criteria and conditions for receiving cash assistance for individual business households and informal workers). – Ensuring access to social security regimes, including health insurance and effective transfer of benefits through electronic payments, mobile money services, and e-wallets. – Currently, countries are facing great pressure to consolidate their finances after spending huge sums on crisis response measures. However, if countries cut spending on social security, that action will have serious consequences. Therefore, the social security sector urgently needs to be invested in right now to ensure “no one is left behind” and strengthen the community’s resilience to emergency situations. * In terms of policies regarding the access to basic social services – Basic social services listed as health, education, housing, information and communication, environment and so on need to be invested in a synchronous and modern way, paying special attention to the service system at the grassroots level. The reality of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control shows that the capacity of the service system at the grassroots level has been being very limited in terms of material resources, equipment, and human resources. Besides, the database system from the grassroots level is weak as well as lacking connection and sharing so that we can promptly have solutions to overcome risks such as recent epidemics.

Other studies consistently indicate a positive correlation between optimized layouts and increased sales. Recognizing the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing traditional store layout strategies, the authors from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and foreign collaborators conducted this study which comprehensively evaluates both conventional store layout design methods and modern AI techniques. By merging the insights from these two fields, the goal is to propose an improved store layout design framework powered by AI. The importance of AI application in store layout design The retail community has been leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for many specialized tasks related to purchase transactions, listed as in-person checkout, free grocery checkout by Amazon Go, image and voice search by Walmart, Tesco, Kohl’s, Costco and track customer satisfaction and predict customer behavior. In 2019, the retail sector led in global spending on AI systems, with $5.9 billion invested in automated customer service, shopping advisors and product recommendation platforms. However, the research on AI application in supporting store layout has not been totally paid much attention. How to apply AI in understanding customer movement behavior in supermarkets is for providing appropriate design recommendations for each type of supermarket besides the items that need to be emphasized more. This study conducts a comprehensive assessment of current supermarket and store layout methods; in addition, modern AI techniques that can be used to understand customer movements when shopping in supermarkets help identify emotions so as to suggest the most suitable layout. In accordance with this review, an AI-powered store layout design framework is proposed. The research results suggest one framework that applies advanced AI and data analytics techniques on the existing CCTV systems and video surveillance infrastructure in order to understand, to predict and to recommend better store layouts. This recommended framework facilitates the design of customer-oriented store layouts by visually monitoring data of customers moving within a supermarket or store, leading the increase in customer insights and business intelligence applications. Store layout aiming to provide four factors: Perceived usefulness, Ease of use, Entertainment and Time consumption. There are 4 main ways to design store layout as follows: *Optimizing customer access to many products helps stimulate shopping decisions. Retailers strategically position the needed products at the end of aisles to optimize visibility and utility, increasing the likelihood of customers who become interested in other products (Tan et al., 2018). The effective use of end-aisle areas, especially during special occasions listed as holidays, attracts additional customer volume and encourages the exploration of various products (Page et al., 2019). Customers are forced to navigate the entire aisle, creating opportunities to display and to sell other products along the way. Designing the sales floor layout as a sales magnet ensures customers to pass through different sections, creating significant opportunities for interaction with various products (Ohta & Higuchi, 2013). *Increasing viewing time: The goods are arranged in different cluster configurations for short, medium and long trips (Larson et al., 2005). More or less time spent at the supermarket can indicate whether customers are interested in shopping at the supermarket (Kim & Kim, 2008; Sorensen, 2016). Shopping can be a way to reduce stress and to enjoy free time (Guiry et al., 2006; Hart et al., 2007). By planning the store layout, the fact that the retailers encourage customers to move through more aisles and view a variety of merchandise can increase sales (Cil, 2012), even leading to the uncontrolled purchases (Geetha et al., 2013). It is easy to find the related products to increase customer satisfaction. A store layout organized by product groups for shopping purposes can enhance sales (Hansen et al., 2010). Therefore, stores can arrange alternative and complementary products in the same area. For example, tea and coffee are substitute products. Grouping products this way replaces customers searching for tea in the beverages area, cheese in the cottage cheese area, and cereals in the cereal area. This layout leads customers along specific paths to visit as many parts of the store as possible (Kim & Kim, 2008; Vrechopoulos et al., 2004). Additionally, industrial store layouts often arrange related products together, listed as in the bakery section (with bread, cakes, cookies, and other products) and the vegetable section (with carrots, beans, and other products). Furthermore, exposing consumers to professionally-presented goods in those areas can lead to higher sales (Kiran et al., 2012). * It is easy to find related products to increase customer satisfaction. A store layout organized by product groups for shopping purposes can enhance sales (Hansen et al., 2010). Therefore, stores can arrange alternative and complementary products in the same area. For example, tea and coffee are substitute products. Grouping products this way replaces customers searching for tea in the beverages area, cheese in the cottage cheese area, and cereals in the cereal area.

Furthermore, exposing consumers to professionally presented goods in such areas can lead to higher sales (Kiran et al., 2012). *Cost control and inventory calculations: Setting up the right layout and using artificial intelligence to track images and people flow allows retailers to control costs, calculate inventory on time and replenishing products on shelves (Yang and Chen, 1999). Frontoni et al. proved that machine learning can predict the available display space in a store and recognize shortages of goods on shelves to the center (Frontoni et al., 2017). Employees receive notifications and quickly replenish products so as not to miss any customers. Proposing a plan to use AI in designing the store layout Using AI can help design store layouts in accordance with the following goals: Detecting customers and shopping carts: Heatmap analysis can detect people to build business temperature maps. A heatmap can provide one visual summary of information through a two-dimensional representation of the data. There are many ways to display heatmaps; however, they all share one thing in common: they use colors to draw the relationships among all data values ​​that would be more difficult to understand if presented as a table of numeric values. Customer identification: Facial recognition is one of the most natural human characteristics for determining identity due to the way we recognize people. Facial recognition relies on the biological science of detecting and measuring various features, or features, of the human face to determine identity. When a new face appears in the scene, the program compares with a collection of faces, previously collected, to infer the identity of the new face. Customer Characterization not only extracts information regarding identity but also contains important demographic attributes, including a person’s age, gender and ethnicity. Age, gender and ethnicity of both customers are extracted from facial images. In a supermarket environment, this information can be used in a variety of ways to customize targeting for each customer. Customer behavior tracking Human tracking in a camera generates human subjects’ motion trajectories over time by determining their position in each frame of a given video sequence. Based on the correlation between human subjects, human tracking in a camera can be classified into two types: generative tracking and discriminative tracking. Emotion recognition Humans express emotions through observable facial expressions listed as raising eyebrows, opening eyes, or changing mouth expressions (e.g., smiling). Understanding how customers feel as they browse a store can provide marketers and managers with a valuable tool for understanding customer reactions to the products they sell. Multimedia emotion recognition: People also express emotions in many different ways listed as raising their voice and pointing with their fingers. This program is used to capture contextual information in data. Deep Belief Networks can also be used to further capture cross-modal interactions. Context information can be captured and modeled to improve accuracy. Customer action identification: How customers behave or act reveals their interest in the product. Some obvious actions like picking up a product, placing it in the cart, and putting it back on the shelf have attracted great interest from smart stores. Other behaviors like staring at a product and reading the product box are a goldmine for marketing to understand customer interest in the product. From a marketing perspective, these behaviors provide further evidences in studying the elements of the shopping decision-making process that determine specific consumer choices and how marketing strategies can influence consumers. The empirical studies of consumer behavior are mainly dependent upon the cognitive methods, which allow to predict and to identify actions that can result in conclusions and suggest consequences for communication and marketing strategies . Consequently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can be applied to improve layout design as follows: The data layer at the “Sense” stage includes data streams from CCTV cameras and recorded videos, metadata data, customer data, market layout data, etc. In addition to dynamic information sources (data in circulation), there can be static information sources listed as floor data. Collections at this data layer collect continuously or on demand at certain intervals and create a resource pool. The intelligent video analysis layer at the “Think” stage plays an important role in understanding the content of images and videos. Intelligent video analytics includes a variety of artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning and deep learning techniques to detect, to recognize, to track, to analyze and to extract meaningful information from images and videos . The implementation layer in the “Act” phase uses the analysis results and insights from the analysis layer to take actions listed as improving the layout, measuring the success of the improved layout, evaluating the results obtained and continuously adjusting the created layout. Two examples of using the STAL framework could be the studying maps of customer density or time spent in stores (Ferracuti et al. 2019) to create optimal layouts. Layout variables that management might consider include store design variables (e.g., spatial design, point-of-sale displays, product placement, cashier placement), staffing (e.g., quantity, location), and customers (e.g., crowding, visit time, unexpected shopping, furniture usage, waiting in line, product display acumen). Figure 1 – Model of Sense – Think – Act Figure 2 – Model of Sense – Think – Act applying AI This research focuses on improving supermarket layout design to enhance customer satisfaction and to increase sales. It evaluates the existing methods in the task of layout design, research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and big data that can be applied in this problem. In particular, the study proposes a comprehensive framework for applying AI techniques on the existing surveillance cameras to understand customers and their in-store behavior. The research results suggest how to design appropriate stores and to change marketing strategies in accordance with the information from data analysis of videos.

On the other hand, the extent regarding the effectiveness of these policies is not the same. In this article, the authors from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) propose some social policy responses in some countries; on this basement, in order to draw some lessons for Vietnam to be able to cope with the future epidemic crises. In part 1 of the article, let's explore the social policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic in some countries around the world. The importance of social policies The Covid-19 pandemic - an infectious disease pandemic - has caused the most serious public health crisis in Vietnam and globally. With its rapid spread and wide scope of infection, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused negative impacts on the country’s socio-economic development and people’daily lives. Facing these challenges, the Government and other socio-political organizations in Vietnam as well as in many countries around the world have established strong command and control mechanisms and launched responses against the crisis to control the epidemic and protect people’ health as well as that of the community groups in the world. These measures have worked towards the varying degrees in different outbreaks of the pandemic. The governments of those countries have proactively implemented many important policies in the medical and non-medical fields listed as: travel restrictions, blockade quarantine, emergency state declaration, curfew usage, social distancing implementation, crowded event cancellation, closed schools and less important service and business establishments, encouraging people to raise their awareness of disease prevention like wearing masks, limiting going out in case of unnecessity; at the same time, changing their operating model, moving business, studying, and working from traditional to online format and so on. Although medical and non-medical measures are very important to control the spread of the pandemic in the places having not enough vaccine, they cannot promote positive effects without the synchronization of social policies (including social security policies, social subsidies and so on) to relieve anxiety regarding the burdens of social welfare concerning financial burden towards seeking medical treatment and stabilizing life. Medical and non-medical measures, when tightened, cause various losses to people whose livelihoods are not guaranteed. Those losses are inversely proportional to their willingness to comply as well as their consensus towards health measures once the epidemic lasts long and is difficult to control. On the contrary, if medical and non-medical measures are not strong enough to force people to keep their distance despite full livelihood support, this fact will lead to an uncontrollable spread of the epidemic. In 2020, Vietnam did not pay much attention to social support policies because of its success in controlling the epidemic. Nevertheless, in the fourth outbreak (starting on April 27, 2021), the situation is different. Continuing to maintain the blockade becomes increasingly challenging when people do not have the basic conditions to stay at home. Keeping distance has become secondary to the urgent need to live and to survive; therefore, people have found additional ways to disobey distancing regulations for making a living. Impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on the economy and the society * Impacts on the economy The COVID-19 epidemic has contributed to the global economic recession. Restrictions and blockades have disrupted global supply chains, affecting production, exports and investment. Many countries have recorded large GDP declines, increased unemployment rates and declines in workers’ income. Restrictions and suspensions of business activities have reduced international trade. The export industries, especially textiles, tourism and freight, have suffered heavily. The COVID-19 epidemic has caused major fluctuations in the financial and the stock markets. The value of stocks and stock indexes plummeted, causing instability and losses for investors and investment funds. The fact that many countries have had to increase spending and to provide economic stimulus packages so as to minimize the negative impact of the epidemic leads to the increased public debt and puts pressure on the national budget in the long term. * Impacts on the society The COVID-19 epidemic has caused a public health crisis, placing great pressure on the health care system. Hospitals and medical facilities face overcrowding and shortages of medical resources. Social restrictions, listed as social distancing, lockdowns and travel bans, have caused isolation and limited social activity. This has an impact on the psychological situation, causes stress and affects social connection. In terms of education, COVID-19 has closed thousands of schools globally, causing disruptions in the education system. The transition to online and distance learning has created challenges for students, teachers and parents. In addition, social restrictions and economic difficulties have created a favorable environment for crime and domestic violence. Loneliness and pressure from the epidemic situation can lead to an increase in law violations and domestic violence. In addition, the COVID-19 epidemic causes serious psychological impacts, including anxiety, stress, depression and psychological distress. It is the anxiety regarding health, the economy and the future that has affected the psychological state and mental health of a lot of people. Social policy responses in the United States, India and Germany towards the COVID-19 pandemic * USA When the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, the federal government dominated social policy because the states lacked the financial resources to apply large social policy responses. The federal government authorized more than $2 trillion as additional spending to respond to the pandemic only in March and April 2020, accounting for approximately 10% of GDP (Anderson et al., 2020). Expenditure components include subsidies for individuals of 1,200 USD/adult and 500 USD/child in addition to a huge increase in insurance benefits for the unemployed. In addition to expanding support for businesses, the US government applies a short-term employment support program, in which businesses can receive loans equivalent to grants to pay non-working employees (Paycheck Protection Program). As a result, during this period, although the United States experienced the largest increase in unemployment in recorded history (a 14% increase only in April 2020), the poverty rate decreased significantly by 21% (Han et al., 2020). In August and September, 2020, the fact that the most important of these temporary support packages expired increases the pressure on non-medical interventions when people and businesses lost their fund support (Rocco et al., 2020). This story comes from the initial assumption of policymakers that the federal government will effectively control the COVID-19 pandemic and the country will return to normal economic life in the fall of 2020. Nevertheless, this is a wrong assumption as the COVID-19 epidemic continues to rage strongly. This failure to innovate social policy responses to the spreading virus situation leaves the United States facing a dire fall of 2020 and an economic recession. As the epidemic kept on spreading, the activity levels in the sectors of the economy fell as people stayed away from bars, restaurants, retail and tourism. By October 2020, the United States was locked in a debate regarding the effectiveness of non-medical interventions listed as business closures, travel restrictions, or wearing masks. The White House chief of staff had to admit that they would not be able to control the pandemic, the public health infrastructure was largely overwhelmed and the economy fell into recession (Cole, 2020). * India India, initially, made headlines thanks to its rigorous public health response to the pandemic. However, the federal government failed to coordinate socio-economic priorities compared to those of health upon lifting the nationwide embargo, leaving states responsible for managing and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Social policies have failed to address individuals’ frustrations with limitations in employment and meeting basic needs: food, housing and cash. As a result, the country faces an uncontrolled spread of the disease as well as heavy economic losses. Non-medical interventions listed as business closures, travel restrictions and so on cause serious social consequences, especially for the poor. Within a week of reopening, the number of infected cases in India increased dramatically. Source of collected photos One of the major social policy actions, focusing on India, was the stimulus package worth 307 billion USD in March 2020 after the nationwide blockade. Funding of approximately $24 billion is intended to assist all individuals in ensuring access to food and gas. This stimulus package was successful in allowing those receiving financial relief packages to survive for some time in a temporarily frozen economy. However, the issue of direct cash transfer - which avoids delays - has not been available to everyone as complex regulations listed as identification, interstate travel for self-employed worker identification is one challenge. (Economic Times, 2020b). In a large, populous country like India, it is absolutely difficult to accurately determine who actually receives money in the support package and who does not. As a result, the well-intended centralized social policy has not brought the desired results. * Germany Social policy responses in Germany have benefited the economy at not only the macro level but also the micro level. Europe’s largest economy has launched a historic rescue package of 353.3 billion euros (BMF, 2020) to control unemployment and vulnerable groups in need of protection (single parents, pensioners, children and so on) Germany is one of the countries with a stable, strong social policy system listed as income support, programs and unemployment insurance with the purpose of limiting the recession impact on people’ lives and the wide economy. Therefore, the public health measures, in addition to politics, taken by Germany to fight the pandemic have led to many social and economic outcomes (Iskan, 2020). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government, to reduce negative impacts, has established social policy actions including two social protection packages with the goal of mitigating the economic and social consequences of the epidemic. On March 22, 2020, Chancellor Angela Merkel ordered a nationwide blockade as well as the closure of all restaurants, bars, cafes and businesses in the personal care sector (Bundesregierung, 2020). These strict non-medical interventions (listed as business closures, travel restrictions, mask-wearing) and other economic shocks related to the pandemic have created the problems that Social Policy intended to solve. On March 25, 2020, the German government launched the largest aid package in history at 353.3 billion Euros (approximately 9% of GDP) and guarantees totaling 819.7 billion euros (BMF, 2020) as the largest amount in the world at that time (Jerzy, 2020) so as to protect the office workers and the freelance workers. This financial support effort has helped ensure necessary social policy actions across the country, resulting in low unemployment (Urmersbach, 2020) and GDP losses lower than that of the EU average as a result of the pandemic (Statista, 2020b). On March 27, 2020, the social protection package was implemented with measures to simplify the process to achieve additional benefits listed as child benefits, subsidies for social services, and continued employment post-retirement jobs with the extension of the maximum term for some workers. On April 28, 2020, the second Social Protection Package was implemented to help unemployed seasonal workers ensure their lives; to improve conditions for receiving short-time work benefits, to expand the right to unemployment benefits and to continue the payment assurance of benefits for the orphans. Other financial protections for individuals which include support, child allowance, single parent support, money and basic security are essentially an expansion of existing programs, providing more financial support to vulnerable groups (children, single parents and those with limited incomes). COVID-19 support for commercial and freelance companies is the largest aid package with the important goal of supporting all types of businesses (newly-established companies, large enterprises, small-and-medium enterprises, under 10 employees, freelance business, self-employed). A total of 70.4 billion euros in aid was approved on October 13, 2020 (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie, 2020). Money has been allocated to the economic stabilization funds, quick credit, special programs, commodity credit, insurance and export credit guarantees, tax measures and so on. Germany’s emergency social policy has demonstrated its effectiveness. Administrative burdens have been removed and limited while the support achieved across most categories (individuals, families, businesses of all sizes and infrastructure), the unemployment rate has not increased (the similar case compared to other countries) as well as the immediate financial assistance is expected to speed up capital disbursement and limit administrative burdens. Thanks to the comprehensive support package for commercial and freelance companies, the unemployment rate increased compared to 2019 but not significantly. Author group: Dr. Đỗ Lâm Hoàng Trang, MSc.

For a long time, rigid standards for men to be strong, tough, and the breadwinner of the household have deeply infiltrated the subconscious minds of our society and imposed invisible pressure on men. But what is the cost of this distorted "masculinity"? Image: The Guardian Defining Toxic Masculinity According to Verywell Mind, toxic masculinity is a term referring to extreme standards of masculinity for men. Toxic masculinity is exhibited through three main areas: men’s physical strength, power in society and family, and particularly, their avoidance of feminine traits such as expressing inner emotions or seeking help from others. Effects of Toxic Masculinity However, the seemingly "ideal" image we create for men harbors many unforeseen dangers. Establishing extreme standards has led men to avoid expressing and resolving emotions. This, in turn, invisibly makes men prone to serious mental health issues such as anxiety disorders, depression, or, at a milder level, prolonged stress. As stated by a study by the American Psychological Association, the suicide rate for men is 3.5 times higher than that for women, and they also have a significantly higher rate of depression compared to the rest of the world. Additionally, because they do not seek or receive help to address mental issues, men often turn to alcohol or stimulants as a "temporary tranquillizer," leading to a higher rate of alcohol and stimulant abuse in men, causing profound damage to both mental and physical health. Not only does toxic masculinity directly affect men, but it also indirectly causes social instability. Imposing toxic masculinity has increased the trend of violence in men. According to a national survey in 2021, in Vietnam, the rate of domestic violence incidents in families reached 32%, and surprisingly, 90% of these cases were caused by men. Gender Equality in Emotional Expression Faced with these heartbreaking statistics, is it really necessary to continue promoting "masculinity"? We have struggled for centuries to achieve gender equality for women, so when will we allow men the equality they have long deserved? Emma Watson, an American actress, spoke at a United Nations gender equality event in 2014 “We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled”. Image: America TV Therefore, the right to express emotions, and seek help for emotional issues should be granted to everyone. It's time for a man's tears to be as important as a woman's, for a man to say, "I'm tired today," and still be masculine. The term "girly stuff" should never be used to denigrate men. In conclusion, the “right to cry” or any form of emotional expression is no longer the privilege of any gender. Although changing societal perceptions is not easy, UEH students can start with themselves. We hopes that students can bravely take the first steps in facing and acknowledging their emotions, while learning to deal with them in a healthy way and not hesitating to seek support when needed. In addition, the UEH community can contribute to minimizing these negatives by creating an environment that allows emotional freedom, accompanied by understanding, empathy, and non-judgment. Gender equality in emotional expression can bring about significant improvements in both physical and mental aspects of social life, helping to build a healthy community. Therefore, UEH believes that the information provided here can offer students a new perspective on this topic.

In December, we had a truly unique experience at English Zone with both online and in-person activities. Let's go over the wonderful memories we made together through several main events of the month! When the semester draws to a close, it is also the period for students to spend time with their families. Therefore, the EZ Talks and Boardgames activities were organized online to make it easier for students to participate. For EZ Talks activities, students went over the topics "Me, Myself, & I" and "Golden Hour". During these Talks, UEHers had the chance to reflect and rethink about what happened in 2023, as well as talk about how to spend quality time with loved ones and create memorable memories with them. Intimate year-end chat with two activities "Me, Myself & I" and "Golden Hour" EZ Boardgames activities continue to be organized on a regular basis to satisfy students' passion. Although it is not possible to play board games directly in the green space at B2 Park, UEH English Zone has organized board games through interactive game platforms. Those dramatic board games are included in the thrilling topics such as "Mission: Impossible" and "Roll the dice". If the "Mission Impossible" activity introduced us to the world of secret agents through the game Spyfall, the "Roll the dice" activity let us know how to invest wisely through the Monopoly game. In addition to improving reasoning skills, this is also an opportunity to apply economic knowledge in a fun way, right!? Dramatic discussions in activities such as "Mission Impossible" and "Roll the Dice" Furthermore, BELL UEH organized the activity "Speaking Group Extended - 2023 Wrapped" at the UEH English Zone, which gives UEH students the opportunity to sit together and "flex" about the moments they had during the brilliant journey of 2023 and share about their turbulent year 2023 as well. Joining BELL UEH in the Speaking Group Extended activity to finish 2023 Not only did UEH English Zone collaborate with BELL UEH to provide UEHers with English exchange opportunities, UEH English Zone also organized the program "ECOFF - English Coffee Talk #33: CHRISTMAS PARTY" with a familiar unit - the School of Foreign Languages (SFL), which was well received by the student community. Let's spend some time "healing" via Coffee Talk activities Along with the Christmas atmosphere approaching and the cold air filling every street and corner, UEH English Zone and the SFL organized the activity "Christmas Activation Booth Day: Xmasphere - Christmas Here" at Hall B1 - Campus B. In this activity, we shared special moments together in a festive atmosphere, bringing joy and connection to all students who attended. Christmas atmosphere at the activities "XMASPHERE" Lastly, let’s bid farewell to the wonderful year 2023. With the memories we've shared, let's look forward to the regular activities at UEH English Zone in 2024!

If you haven’t acquainted yourself with the definition of those above-mentioned interpretations and how they can benefit an organization, you might want to visit McKinsey's article about this. For now, The Department of Student Affairs (DSA) will embark on a time-traveling expedition through Disney's productions to explore their DEI efforts, challenges associated with flaws and suggestions for improvement. Once upon a time, in the magical world of Disney, tales were spun, princesses were born, heroes emerged, and dreams soared beyond imagination. Yet, behind the enchanting curtain, another story unfolded - one about challenges, difficulties, and steps toward a more inclusive kingdom. Disney, the symbol of imagination and childhood fancies, is actively steering a transformative path towards embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within its realm. From its early years characterized by cultural stereotypes to the vibrant mosaic of characters and stories today, Disney's narrative reflects a transformative saga, intricately entwined with societal shifts and an ongoing quest for authentic representation. Early Years: Disney's Beginnings Starting with the first few years, Disney films were mostly inspired by European fairy tales. This can explain why their storylines, back then, were featuring predominantly white characters. For instance, princesses that were so-called “fairest of them all” were represented with a milky white skin tone like Snow White (1937) or blonde silky hair, and ocean blue eyes like Cinderella (1950), Aurora (1959). Such instances still produced cultural Disney movies in nature and caught the attention of many young hearts. Disney’s early princess portrayals (Source: syn.org.au) However, when we narrow the scope to cultural diversity, equity and inclusion, Disney hasn’t always excelled in showcasing a diverse profile of characters, portrayals, as well as illustrating the undeniable prevalence of cultural stereotypes, and gender inequality. “If one were to rank the Disney animated classics that haven’t aged well, “Dumbo” would probably take home the gold.” - said the Washington Post. Indeed, if you were to watch the movie carefully, you would stumble on not just a few questionable moments. First is the incident where Dumbo met up with a group of “black” crows. The black birds are depicted using African American stereotypes of the time, with jive-like speech patterns and jazzy-gospely songs sung in harmony. Dumbo meets a group of crows (source: Dumbo Lover) Adding up to that scene, the classic also contains the “Song of the Roustabouts,” which is considered the most racist part of the film. It depicts faceless black characters hammering railroad ties to put up circus tents and includes the line, “Grab that rope, you hairy ape.” From its historical missteps, Disney's strides towards a more representative storytelling era stand as a testament to its ongoing quest for diversity and equity. Nonetheless, the next era still struck up several arguments through the years centering around controversial cultural appropriation and the balance between respectful representation and the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes. The introduction of more diverse characters marked a significant shift in Disney's storytelling landscape. In the groundbreaking film "Aladdin" (1992), the absence of white protagonists was a significant departure from Disney's traditional narratives. This shift brought to the forefront characters like the willful and free-thinking Princess Jasmine, whose spirited portrayal challenged stereotypes and enchanted audiences seeking more empowered female figures. Meanwhile, "Mulan" (1998) stands as a bold figure not just because of her ethnicity but the way she recognizes major areas of societal difference in gender roles, redefines power, and challenges discrimination faced by women and non-cisgendered individuals. Mulan's courageous journey celebrates resilience, strength found in embracing authenticity and breaking free from societal constraints. The free-thinking and powerful princess figures in Disney (Source: serieously) With that being said, Disney's efforts in diversity and inclusion still exhibit varying degrees of flaws, from minor imperfections to more significant shortcomings. Sharing with the Harvard Crimson, Kyla Golding expressed about the movie “The Princess and the Frog”: “I remember the first time I saw Tiana. She looked like me. It was 2009 and for the first time, Disney gave little Black girls their first taste of what it was like for the fairest of them all to be Black.” Our princess, with beautiful cocoa flesh, a wide nose, and sleek up hair, captivated countless black girls and women hungry for a relatable screen presence. Hope surged as the first 'black princess' graced the pixels, yet the fleeting magic dissolved as she spent most of the film as a frog. It was a swift reminder, as expressed by Kyla Golding, “I was faced with the reality that Black women and girls are always strong, resilient, and magical, but even in the mythical realm of Disney movies, we are often left little room to be human.” Tiana and Prince Naveen as a frog  (Source: The Princess and the Frog) Still, to some of us, Tiana is a resilient spirit with an unwavering pursuit of dreams, shattering barriers and inspiring a new era of inclusivity. These magical characters have conjured a more authentic and enchanting narrative tapestry within Disney's kingdom. Recent Disney films still pursuing the journey to reimagine diversity, equality and inclusion, reshaping stories to mirror a more inclusive world. Zootopia (2016) with the eager rabbit who is the first of her "kind" to join a police department dominated mostly by large, predator-type animals. Rabbit officer Hopps’ presence on the team is met with open resistance because she was hired as part of a dreaded diversity program. As we can see, there can be diversity but there is no inclusion as her skill sets and value to her team are minimized and dismissed because she is different, and there is no equality in the tools, support, and resources she needs to be successful on the job were limited compared to the rest of the force. With the cute, 3D characters, we uncover profound lessons: A diverse environment doesn't inherently translate to an inclusive, equal one; you don’t have to “look the part” to be suitable for a job, genuine inclusion demands diligent effort and a willingness to address uncomfortable truths. To truly foster inclusivity, we must embrace discomfort, learn from missteps, and have the courage to confront difficult conversations. It's through navigating these challenges that we pave the path toward a harmonious and truly inclusive work environment. Judy Hopps among the “unsuitable” workplace (Source: Zootopia) Big Hero 6 (2014), meanwhile, created the futuristic town of San Fransokyo, a mash-up of Tokyo and San Francisco. "This film gave us a perfect opportunity to create a diverse cast," director Don Hall told BuzzFeed News. The animated piece shows us a world where the brightest kids in the school are people of color and the team mascot is the white student. The character Wasabi breaks stereotypes with his imposing physique, cropped dreadlocks - the type of guy we might typically associate with nightclub bouncers or scary-but-silent henchmen in movies. Surprisingly, Wasabi is a by-the-book guy with remarkable expertise in robotic engineering. Big Hero 6 also aims to shatter gender stereotypes with bold and brainy girls taking center stage in the form of Go Go Tomago and Honey Lemon, both of whom are women of color. The diverse cast of Big Hero 6 (Source: Big Hero 6) Now, when we take a look at those very recent pieces of Disney like The Little Mermaid Live Action (2023), we might come across several heated debates on the topic of “forced diversity” and “organic diversity”. The actor cast to play the lead role of Ariel is Halle Bailey - an actress of color in a role, that to many fans, is “long reserved for white people” or this action is “weakening their faithfulness to the original story”. Halle Bailey as the lead role - Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid Live-action (2023) (Source: The Little Mermaid Live-action) There will forever be an ongoing discussion about the balance between representation and perpetuation of clichés within media. Nonetheless, Disney's influence in championing diversity remains undeniable in shaping societal attitudes and fostering a more inclusive, equal worldview among audiences, especially young ones. Disney has consistently expressed its commitment to advancing DEI in its content, workforce, and community engagement, aiming to create more representative storytelling and foster an inclusive environment for all audiences and employees. UEH is also on our journey to break social constraints, promote the DEI concept and actions throughout the system with workshops, panel discussions like Break the Biases and initiatives to support the underrepresented groups, students with disabilities. And don't hesitate to visit English Zone to discuss and learn more about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in a supportive environment, where you can share opinions, learn from the community, and explore how communities are striving to promote DEI.

As a result, English skills are becoming increasingly important for people who want to stand out in the labor market and beyond. On November 30, 2023, the Department of Student Affairs and the Faculty of Foreign Languages hosted a language workshop titled “Strategies for Improving Business English” with the participation of Ms. Camille Williams from the US Consulate to provide attendees with practical advice and strategies to use English in everyday life. Ms. Williams shared three specific strategies to improve learners' business English skills during the language discussion session. To begin, we can employ the SMART model (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound), which is a useful tool for setting personal goals. For example, it is acceptable to set a goal such as "I will listen to one hour of English content every day for the next three months."  This can be an audiobook, a podcast, or any other type of content. I will track my progress and try to learn something new every day.” Ms. Williams then emphasizes the importance of developing a habit as a deciding factor. We need to clearly define our goals and gradually begin with small actions, using things that can remind us to do it consistently! Ms. Williams recommends that we use reliable sources such as Ted Talks, news sites such as CNN, BBC... during the learning process to make the journey of learning English easier. In addition to studying, we can use English for entertainment purposes such as music, movies, books, stories, podcasts or form a study group with friends who have same goal of learning English and can always provide constructive feedback. Learners have the opportunity to write down their goals at the end of the workshop.  As a result of this interactive activity, learners will gradually understand and gain motivation to strategize on their English learning journey. Ms. Williams contends that self-belief is essential. Developing a growth mindset and overcoming pessimistic thinking patterns will surely inspire us to become more self-assured and effective. You can review the recording of the workshop here . UEH English Zone was founded in B2 Park, UEH Nguyen Tri Phuong, to create an English learning environment, by organizing weekly and monthly talks, board games, language workshops, music shows... in English.

On June 19, 2023, the Price Law was officially approved by the 15th National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 5th session. Notably, this Pricing Law has added many stricter regulations for the activities of price appraisers listed as specializing professional activities according to property and clearly regulating capacity requirements and responsibilities of the appraiser. These new regulations pose a major problem in training, fostering, and improving the professional qualifications and ethics of human resources to improve the quality of valuation activities in Vietnam.

Ms. Pham Thi Kieu Nga - Human Resources Director of CBRE Vietnam, presented at the workshop Ms. Ho Thi Kim Oanh - Director of CBRE Vietnam Valuation and Consulting Department - also contributed opinions on the issue of building a succession team along with building risk prevention mechanisms for businesses and organizations. With the current volatile and risky market context, she believed that unit leaders and each appraiser need to be wise in identifying risks when performing professional tasks. At the same time, appraisers need to cultivate more international standard knowledge and experiences to be able to flexibly apply to the valuation market in Vietnam. Ms. Ho Thi Kim Oanh - Director of Valuation and Consulting - CBRE Vietnam, presenting at the workshop Part 2 opened with a general discussion that took place very enthusiastically and interestingly with practical sharing from leading experts in the field of valuation in Vietnam, under the guidance of Dr. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhung, Lecturer of Appraisal.

Finally, Dr. Hay Sinh - Former Head of the Valuation Department shared the process of forming and training a team of high-quality human resources in valuation at UEH. Appraiser Trinh Hong Thinh - Chairman and Director of Phuong Nam Consulting and Valuation Co., Ltd., contributed opinions at the workshop Specialist Pham Thi Binh - Former Deputy Director of the Government Pricing Committee, Chairman of Royal Appraisal Joint Stock Company, contributed opinions at the workshop Dr. Hay Sinh - Former Head of the Valuation Department, contributed ideas at the workshop In the context of the development of the digital economy, intangible assets, including intellectual property, make an increasingly important contribution to the economy in general and businesses in particular. Specifically, progress and rapid changes in science and technology create a variety of intellectual property with extremely great value. However, according to data from the Ministry of Finance, as of January 1, 2023, although the whole country had 1,491 price appraisers licensed to practice, very few have the expertise and experience to appraise this kind of assets. Regarding this issue, Ms. Phan Thi Chau - Vice President of the Vietnam Patent Association, had practical sharing about the requirements for human resources in the field of intellectual property management. She also emphasized that the need for human resources in asset management is expected to increase in the near future. Ms. Phan Thi Chau - Vice President of the Vietnam Invention Association - commenting at the workshop In addition, the guests raised their views on the development trend of artificial intelligence, which is increasingly creating many tools for mass valuation, leading to the fluctuations in the need for human resources in the market. Appraiser Pham Thanh Duong - CEO of DCF company, shared information related to "mass valuation". He said that in that context, high-quality human resources who know how to integrate big data sources for the valuation process, are of urgent need, requiring universities and the laborers themselves to constantly update new knowledge and trends to be able to meet the requirements of the market. Appraiser Pham Thanh Duong - CEO of DCF Company contributed ideas at the workshop Ms. Nguyen Thi My Linh - Director of HCMC Valuation, DTCL Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam contributed opinions at the workshop Dr. Nguyen Hoang Bao - Head of Department of Planning - Investment - Development contributed opinions at the workshop Also within the framework of the conference, Dr. Nguyen Kim Duc - Deputy Director of the Institute for Regional Development Research and Consulting (IRDRC), a practicing price appraiser, informed the delegates about the main trends of the valuation profession in the new context, excerpted from the ASEAN Price Appraisers Conference held in Malaysia in September 2023, where he was a guest speaker. Accordingly, in addition to paying attention to valuation models at the micro level, appraisers need to pay attention to issues at the macro level. Especially in the context that countries, including Vietnam, are concerned about sustainable development (with 17 SDGs) and new growth models (i.e., those based on green economy, circular economy, science - technology - innovation, etc.). In the past, macro content was often not important in valuation reports, now businesses (customers) have begun to pay attention and operate in their management strategies. This leads to new needs in asset valuation, listed as appraisal of ESG real estate. The challenges for valuation in the upcoming time are (i) new types of assets, or existing types of assets that incorporate sustainable elements; (ii) new valuation models; and (iii) training a force of appraisers with high professional judgment ability. Dr. Nguyen Kim Duc - Deputy Director of Institute for Regional Development Research and Consulting (IRDRC), Practicing Price Appraiser, contributing opinions at the workshop Mr. Mai Xuan Khoa - Director of Southern Business Appraisal of Hoang Quan Appraisal Co., Ltd. contributing opinions at the workshop Dr. Nguyen Quynh Hoa - Head of Valuation Department - delivered the closing speech of the workshop Delegates and speakers took some photos at the workshop Valuation Workshop is an annual event taking place for the first time in 2019 marked a 5-year journey in 2023 as it attracted the attention of scholars, researchers, leaders of organizations with price appraisal functions, and practicing price appraisers.

November, the transition period of the new year, has provided us numerous opportunities to learn, connect and celebrate good values through EZ Talks and Boardgames, as well as other inspiring Club activities at B2 English Zone. Kicking off the EZ Talks & Boardgames activities in November is the event "Be Our Guess" with the boardgame Codenames. In the universe of two groups of spies, each team must follow instructions from their captains, meet other spies, tell the password and bring documents back safely. Decoding spies with the boardgame Codenames Returning from the world of professional spies, UEHers were greeted with "The Dictator" and the boardgame "Secret H". Secret H is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930s Germany, in which fascists teamed up to create discord and placed their cold-blooded leader in the government bureaucracy. People who belong to liberal party must find and stop H before it is too late. Tense and mind-bending battles between the two sides in Secret H Finally, “The Final Auction” with the boardgame “Monopoly BID” closed the November boardgame tour. Engaging in the world of banknotes and its rotation, UEHers have the opportunity to apply some of their skills as an economist. The game created a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Coming to UEH English Zone, students not only get the chance to improve their English and communication skills through interesting games, but they could also express and exchange ideas, opinions, and thoughts via conversations at "EZ Talks" with many unique topics in November.

In response to World Immunization Day, UEH English Zone hosted the “How are you?” event, which focused on health in general and immunization in particular. The event was an opportunity for students to share their views about vaccinations and health habits. Topic “How are you?” about Vaccination and Health More particularly, on November 20th, a special occasion that allowed us to have a small pause and reflect on the tremendous impact that educators have on our lives. This was a day dedicated to expressing appreciation and gratitude for the eternal efforts of teachers who have devoted themselves to shaping the minds and nurturing future generations. On this occasion, UEH English Zone held a fashion show with the theme "Teacher's Coming," in which you dressed up as your beloved teacher and expressed your feelings to everyone. This was a highly intriguing activity activity and everyone participated enthusiastically. Let's take a look at some memorable moments in the event: In a society that we can sometimes feel divided and isolated, World Kindness Day Appreciation Station serves as a reminder of simple acts of kindness. Through the conversation, students had an opportunity to look back, reflect and act more. Finally, closing a busy, energetic November with a holiday theme, the EZ Talk "I'm off" brought a breath of fresh air and relaxation to the students after a month of working and studying hard.

In addition, UEH English Zone also collaborated with BELL UEH English Club to organize "Speaking Group Extended" sessions such as “Into The Fear" to provide students the chances to voice their concerns, which could help ease the inner insecurities. Besides, UEHers would also learn more about the other students’ experiences as well as sharings that could help you to improve your soft skills. The program "Not Shy - Break Ice" has also received a positive response. Through the program, students had the opportunity to share about their shyness and "break the ice" together. Moreover, the ECoff program with the theme "Idea-l" which was organized by the Union - Association of the UEH Foreign Language Faculty also provided useful knowledge on how to create original and creative content.

Originally, the term "cultural appropriation" was used in academic contexts to discuss colonialism and the relationships between majority and minority groups.  As time passed, it made its way out of academic interpretation and into popular culture. The National Conference for Community and Justice defines cultural appropriation as when members of a majority group adopt cultural aspects of a minority group in a stereotypical, exploitative, or disrespectful manner. (Source: https://phunuvietnam.vn/) An example of cultural appropriation of Vietnamese culture is Kacey Musgrave's “Ao dai” without pants. “Ao dai” is a traditional Vietnamese costume that was created to honor the cultural lifestyle of Vietnamese people, which is the spirit of solidarity. Therefore, it holds an irreplacable and significant meaning to Vietnamese. But the singer Kacey Musgraves has caused controversy while wearing “Ao dai” without pants, that makes her overall look too sexual and revealing in the eyes of Vietnamese. The Viet community was furious since they felt like their culture was abused and not respected. And the anger is expressed strongly on social media for a very long time .Some Vietnamese artists have also expressed their thoughts on the event, saying that “Before wearing the traditional costume of any country, you should research carefully or please search for information to see how people in that country wear it. What era is it? Phones have also made you much smarter. Why?”. So, it’s clear to see that Cultural Aprropriation can cause a lot of controversies and debation. Kacey Musgraves’s Cultural Appropriation of Vietnam culture (Source: https://vietcetera.com/) Why Cultural Appropriation causes so much controversies? Understanding the background of cultural appropriation is crucial to realizing why it is such a problem. Some people may adopt a style from another culture without hesitation, yet the group from whom the style came may have had historical events that render the person's behavior insensitive to the group's experiences, both past and present. Picture of Cultural Appropriation of Black Americans' protective hairstyles – Cornrows (Source: https://www.vogue.com/) On the other hand, for many people from culturally abused communities, this is an insult because their culture is exposed and performed, separated from its original values. The users of culture are the ones that take benefits, not the communities that created them. Sometimes, the version used is distorted, causing offense and affecting the image of the original culture. Like the example of “Ao dai” mentioned above, the singer can gain benefits regarding her image while “Ao dai” - a very prescious traditional costume that Vietnamese value can be seen as erotic or sexy. Some people can misunderstand the original meaning of the costume and promoting the wrong message. This will cause bad reputation for the culture itself and sometimes, can lead to the lost of culture. So, how do we avoid and prevent Cultural Appropriation? First, learn about the culture and its origin. It’s esstential to find out what context do the culture belongings occur in? What’s their meaning historically? These information will let people have a grasp about the cultural good and show them how to use the culture appropriately. In reality, Vietnam has also made significant efforts in promoting cultural values ​​through The “6” project "Preserving and promoting fine traditional cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities in association with tourism development." One of the outstanding activities is the application of cultural values ​​in tourism to promote the beauty of Vietnamese culture. For instance, Netin Travel’s effort to combine the beautiful culture of Bru-Van Kieu ethnic group into their tours. Bru-Van Kieu ethnic group’s rice sowing festival (Source: https://baodantoc.vn/) Secondly, avoid the sacred. Even through research, there are still some certain objects or designs that are needed to be reserved for sacred cultural practices and deserve more respect and reverence than others. So with sacred items like those, it’s best to show more respect and try to stay out of using it. Besides, don’t ever stereotype or adopting ready-made, unoriginal expressions or opinions. It’s reductive and can be harmful to the relevant communities. Thirdly, promote diversity by including people from different cultural backgrounds in the thought process and decision-making, which is equal taking a step forward in avoiding cultural appropriation. Genuine care with other cultures can shape postive mindset and guide people to good intentions to that culture. Last but not least, try to engage, promote and share benefits. What can be a better way of diving into another culture than engaging with representatives from a culture other than your own. This can be extremely enriching and lead to all sorts of discoveries. In fact, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and other countries, this year, a series of cultural and artistic exchange events with other countries have been coordinated by the city. Prominent among them are the 8th Vietnam - Japan festival in Da Nang and the Vietnam - Korea festival organized by the Department of Foreign Affairs in coordination with the Consulate General of the two countries in July and September respectively, at East Sea Park. Amazing performance of Korean artists in the Vietnam - Korea festival (Source: https://baodanang.vn/) UEH’s efforts to value different culture Cultural diversity is attentive in UEH whereas events that appreciating different cultures are taken place frequently. And the Cultural Connections hosted by DSA – Department of Student Affairs is one of best representative. Cultural connections at is an activity that brings together cultural diversity to help UEH and international students develop a shared understanding of each other's values, beliefs, needs, and priorities. And the latest cultural connection - “Dreamers under the Moon” wass an event that spotlighted the beauty of Moon Festival or Mid Autumn Festival in Taiwan, Singapore, Viet Nam. The event was held to learn more about the characteristics of the indigenous culture of the countries. Cultural Connections “Dreamers under the Moon” Significant efforts of UEH to bring different cultures together and giving students a chance to embrace culture diversity.

Planning and implementation of the Saigon River corridor development project - "Awakening the Green Dragon" Project Affirming the city's leading position, creating new opportunities for regional development and connection; and having 50 years of historical value, the Saigon River can be considered the "quintessence" of Ho Chi Minh City. Recognizing this special thing, Architect Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan affirmed that the moment of transformation of the Saigon River has come, with the development of the Saigon River corridor. When appropriate solutions and plans are implemented, this work can completely help the Ho Chi Minh City achieve short-term and long-term goals in the process of becoming a smart and sustainable city. Architect Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan sharing Green Development from local infrastructure identity - The case of Saigon River Corridor Development To achieve this goal, solutions must comply with 3 development principles specifically for the Saigon River as summarized by a group of professors and experts through long-term research of science projects along with practical cases. These principles address the following issues related to: (1) preserving and promoting cultural and historical identity and river advantages, (2) green transformation, sustainable resource management and regional linkages, and (3) symbiotic and harmonious development and adaptation to climate change. Based on these principles, 6 green transformation axes - economic - social - environmental development orientations are identified, closely linked to the vision of developing the Saigon River corridor. One of the solutions mentioned at the conference was the project Awakening the Green Dragon, which was directly mentioned by Mr. Dang Duc Thanh. It can be seen that the "Awakening the Green Dragon" solution aims to implement the proposal to apply the principle of using minimal resources to maximize sustainable development goals, aiming to significantly increase the accumulated green areas and social infrastructure, to improve the quality of life and to create opportunities for river cultural activities. Mr. Anthony Edwin Nahas sharing ideas for Green Growth: Transforming Cities into Ecological Blocks Another solution involves converting cities into ecological blocks, as presented by Mr. Anthony Edwin Nahas. Through the creation of ecological blocks (Eco-blocks), city re-planning will directly ensure zero net emissions, along with durability, safety and assurance of finance needed for its implementation. However, transforming Ho Chi Minh City into eco-blocks will impact many factors, from upgrading and repairing buildings to coming up with designs that aim to solve integrated problems arising in the process of "greening" urban areas. Combining multidisciplinary development, the roles of businesses and universities in raising awareness and action for sustainable development goals. With 6 axes of green transformation - economic - social - environmental development orientations that Architect Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan has approved, requirements have been set for a multidisciplinary combination, spreading from Culture and Heritage, Commerce and Entertainment, Start-up - Innovation, Cooperation and Exhibition, Maritime and Transportation, Sustainable Aquatic Ecosystem Management, to Green Spaces and Recreation. These requirements are clearly shown in the project "Awakening the Green Dragon". The project is a new way to mobilize all social resources, domestically and internationally, on the basis of the Triple Helix model, which is a close coordination between the government, universities, research institutes, businesses, and investment organizations to build projects along the Saigon River corridor using smart financial mechanisms and innovative ways in the spirit of Resolution 98 (Resolution 98/2023/QH15). This was mentioned by Mr. Phan Van Mai, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, in the book: Awakening the Green Dragon. Particularly, regarding the role of Universities/Research Institutes, Dr. Trinh Tu Anh shared about strategic tasks in the green growth process. It can be seen that the activities of Universities/Research Institutes need to aim at raising awareness regarding sustainability, empowering action for sustainability, and acting sustainably, especially following the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (17 SDGs). Dr. Trinh Tu Anh sharing the role of universities/research institutes in green growth Dr. Trinh Tu Anh specifically mentioned the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) with its development strategies associated with sustainability, and the goal of becoming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University. With appropriate strategies, UEH has set principles, including Training as the core, Living Campus as the tool, PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) as the process, One UEH as an indispensable factor, and Commitment as the foundation for the transformation process, turning sustainable promises into reality. Professors and experts discussing green growth issues. At the end of the event, the speakers and participating experts sat down and discussed with each other about the issues presented. This is an open discussion with mixed perspectives from many experts. They all shared the same vision of promoting participation, creating a creative community, working together to achieve the goal of developing the Saigon River corridor, and moving towards the sustainable development goal of resilient cities in the face of future changes. The event demonstrated the efforts of different disciplines at all levels along with the business community and people in the green growth journey, especially the role of businesses and universities in raising awareness and action for the sustainable development goal. With the participation of professors and experts in person or online, as well as students from universities, the event raised many issues that need discussions, debates, and in-depth research, aiming at optimal solutions to achieve green growth and sustainable development.

Barriers/difficulties, motivation/expectations and recommendations to support digital transformation In accordance with the survey results, SMEs face many barriers in determining a suitable digital transformation strategy (97%), digital transformation support guidelines (89%), and software systems/tools to support digital transformation (88%), finance (86%) and so on. When analyzing in terms of business size, micro-enterprises (1–49 employees) face the most difficulties in terms of legality and support from the government (18%), the second most difficult is the CDM strategy (17%); For medium enterprises (60–300), in addition to difficulties in strategy and digital transformation guidelines at the top, they are concerned about digital transformation but encounter difficulties in human resources (11%) and culture (11%) upon implementing digital transformation. In terms of motivation/expectations upon implementing digital transformation, SMEs have high expectations for the efficiency brought about by digital transformation (96%); monitoring/tracking capabilities (88%); customers and markets (86%); human resources (85%) and so on while 2% of businesses have no expectations regarding the benefits that digital transformation can bring. When analyzing in terms of enterprise size, the micro enterprises (1–49 employees), in addition to the motivation for efficiency and ability to supervise/track, have high expectations for changes in human resources due to digital transformation that brings about: Improved employee capacity; improved sourcing/talent retention/employee experience and so on. For medium enterprises (60–300 employees), they do care the quality, the customers and the market following the efficiency that digital transformation brings. SMEs also aim more support from the government as well as tools to support digital transformation so that their digital transformation activities can be carried out more effectively and quickly. Regarding the proposals towards the Government, SMEs aim to have specific legal documents and policies on digital transformation (80%) and specific legal regulations related to network security and data security (77%) to protect businesses upon operating on digital platforms or the Internet against the cyber attacks. Most SMEs often encounter various financial difficulties when implementing digital transformation; therefore, they need reasonable and adequate financial support policies to implement digital transformation (75%). In addition, SMEs would like the Government to have policies to support and to encourage the leading real estate enterprises in Vietnam to share experiences and to build infrastructure, platforms, and services to support SMEs (74%) or give access to the information concerning the existing digital solutions and uses (74%). In addition, SMEs have given a number of other suggestions to the Government listed as: There should be detailed instructions on the digital transformation process; supporting vocational training; having separate policies for businesses implementing digital transformation listed as: technology support, experts, taxes and more as well as supporting community human resources. Regarding the proposal of a tool/ a software to support digital transformation activities, SMEs hopes that digital tools are able to help businesses develop a specific and appropriate digital transformation roadmap; allowing businesses to share experiences through examples and cases of good practice as well as the ability to collaborate and to cooperate to form community communities in SMEs. Businesses are often limited in finance, human resources and technology; as a result, they, firstly, will often choose a few main activities to implement digital transformation for the allowance of the selection of these areas. Digital transformation (customers, products, processes and so on) are suitable for implementing each step. Recognizing the future digital transformation scenarios that may occur in the future is another desire when businesses build their own digital transformation strategies. Particularly, the function of providing digital community orientation for each specific field is not of much interest to SMEs. It is possible that businesses would like that the digital tools have specific digital community support functions that are more suitable for businesses than the attention towards the digital transformation issue of each field or industry. The application of 4.0 technologies, digital technology and digital transformation orientation SMEs should prioritize “quick win” work because it is of high importance to be completed soon and has low implementation effort (i.e. the gap between the desired intensity and the low current intensity of use): 3D printing, automated robotics, horizontal and vertical system integration, simulation, cloud computing and cyber ​​security. This is a rather optimistic and positive signal regarding businesses’ awareness of cybersecurity issues in order to have policies, plans and precautions in the process of using digital tools as well as implementing digital policies. As for artificial intelligence technology, the Internet of Things, big data and analytics will bring great benefits to businesses as well as create breakthroughs and transformations for businesses. On the other hand, to successfully apply these technologies requires businesses to invest more in time, technology, people, finance and more with a serious and detailed implementation plan. Augmented reality and virtual reality technology should be entrusted to businesses with extensive experience and development teams. Blockchain technology, in particular, is very difficult to complete; consequently, it is postponed. Blockchain has not received enough attention, partly because of the following two reasons: not many businesses work in the financial and banking sectors in this survey and Blockchain is in its early stages. SMEs should focus on immediately implementing digital transformation for main activities including: business processes, customers and markets. Enterprises can immediately implement digital transformation for supply chain activities if the enterprise evaluates the priority level above 4; in other words, it is as high. For administrative and management activities, human development and organizational culture, businesses should proceed cautiously and plan their implementation. For activities on digital strategy orientation and network information security, businesses should entrust companies with more experience to support or rent or buy available digital tools. Enterprises should not focus on IT infrastructure, data, data analysis and smart factory activities at the present time. This is a fairly common characteristic of SMEs, with limited time and resources; therefore, they will focus on profit-generating activities first. The study presented an overview of the current situation of digital transformation of SMEs in Vietnam in recent years. The level of digital transformation readiness of businesses in Vietnam in the period before 2019 was being at a low level, especially SMEs. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been bright spots in the level of digital transformation readiness of SMEs in Vietnam. However, businesses have been encountering various difficulties and barriers in finance, infrastructure and so on when implementing digital transformation. The Politburo, the Government and other relevant Ministries have issued the diversity of policies to support SMEs, especially the process of approaching the 4.0 Industrial Revolution and implementing digital transformation. The study also presented the results of a Delphi survey following the Foresight approach on the current status and vision of digital transformation in SMEs in Vietnam with more than 300 digital transformation experts at SMEs evaluating the current status of digital transformation, of which, approximately 100 experts evaluate the future direction of applying key technologies of Industry 4.0 and digital tools to businesses. The survey results indicate that SMEs in Vietnam are looking for a digital tool or an information system to support businesses in implementing digital transformation more comprehensively and effectively. Concurrently, because of the limitations in finance, human resources and technology, SMEs should prioritize and select appropriate technology applications and implement them gradually. From these survey results, SMEs should focus on Industry 4.0 technologies as follows: 3D printing, automatic robots, horizontal and vertical system integration, simulation, cloud computing and network security; besides, they should prioritize digital transformation implementation for those activities belonging to business processes, customers and markets.

The 5.0 era will take place and the timeline is determined very closely. Unlike 4.0, human resources of the 5.0 era require the ability to "Understand, know and master technology". The goal of all technological innovations is to serve the quality of human life. I believe that the multi-disciplinary knowledge, integrating applied technology in the fields of study that you will learn at UEH, will help you to flexibly solve problems at work as well as in life. More than anyone else, you are the key "warriors" and personnel capable of seizing the opportunities of a 5.0 society. I believe and am proud that this will be the competitive advantage of a UEHer in the domestic and foreign labor market. An excellent employee and talented leader not only need to be good at their profession but also need to possess a variety of "skills" to optimally serve all job requirements. Therefore, during your studies at Vinh Long Campus, you should arrange reasonable study time to actively participate in activities organized by Youth Union, Student Association, clubs, groups, etc., take advantage of all the time and conditions possible to participate in internships, take part-time jobs, access a real working environment while you are still in school. If you have the opportunity, start a business from your own business idea or with your friends. At the same time, you must know how to take good care of yourself, must be a responsible person, first and foremost, to yourself, your family and beyond, your group and organization. A diversity of interesting things that need effort are available out there. The family, the lecturers, and the learning environment at UEH will accompany you on the journey ahead. UEH has always been striving to create a modern learning environment for students and always focuses on training activities at VLC to be implemented synchronously with those at the main campus so that students at the Vinh Long Campus can enjoy and take advantage to freely express and freely choose the best version of themselves."

In the process of organizing activities, priority should be given to integrating major activities of UEH in 2024 to the activities of the Campus, ensuring the effective use of UEH's general resources. Through the activities organized to spread the brand of UEH in general and Vinh Long Campus in particular in the Mekong Delta region; Vinh Long Campus must develop a plan to launch emulation and organize a series of activities to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Campus’ establishment. In particular, it is necessary to develop a Development Plan for Vinh Long Campus in the next 5 years (2025-2030) in the spirit of a multidisciplinary and sustainable member of UEH University. In addition, UEH member colleges select and coordinate with Vinh Long Campus to jointly organize UEH-level activities in training, research, scientific conferences, and community connection to contribute to the development of the Mekong Delta and the whole country". Prof.Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the University Council The ceremony moved on to a sharing from the representative of a new K49 student, Lam Thi Kim Yen - majoring in Marketing - valedictorian: "Becoming a student at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is the dream of many young people after completing high school, including me. I myself once set my goal of studying at UEH, as well as being able to get into other universities in Ho Chi Minh City. However, during the process of inquiring about UEH, I learned that even in my hometown of Vinh Long, there is also a UEH campus. I feel that studying at this UEH campus will have the advantage of paying 70% of the tuition fee. At the main campus, the living standard in Vinh Long is consistent with the general level in the Mekong Delta provinces. Costs are not too high and are suitable for the majority of families in the Mekong Delta. While studying at the Campus, we have the opportunity to transfer to the main campus after 5 semesters of study, which is an opportunity for me and my peer students to experience different learning environments and get familiar with the learning environment to be more stable when continuing to study in the most vibrant city in the country. These are the things that made me consider and choose VLC as the destination for my university journey. I firmly believe that is also the reason why the majority of the new K49 students sitting here decided to choose to study at VLC. Lam Thi Kim Yen also represented the new students: "to send our the most sincere and profound gratitude to the lecturers - the silent boatmen. We would like to thank the lecturers for their dedication and support in their teaching career, leading us on the path of growing intellectually, living responsibly with family and contributing to society. We would like to send our deepest gratitude to our lecturers."

Pham Khanh Nam - Vice rector in charge of the College of Economics, Law and Government; Associate Professor, PhD. Vo Tat Thang -  Dean of the School of Economics and researchers in labor economics; and teachers from a variety of schools and institutes of UEH. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2023 to Professor Claudia Goldin  (Harvard University, USA). Professor Goldin was honored for her significant study on the subject of women's involvement in the labor market, which was conducted within the Department of Economics. A comprehensive dataset covering two centuries that captures information pertaining to women's incomes and contributions inside the labor sector. This CELG seminar started by introducing and engaging in a comprehensive discussion surrounding two following attracted presentations. • Topic 1: The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 2023: Claudia Goldin and the Economics of Gender in the Labor Market During the presentation, Dr. Dang Dinh Thang provided a comprehensive summary of the important research conducted by Professor Claudia Goldin. Professor Goldin's research focused on the evolving role of women in the labor market within the dynamic economic scenery of the United States. Her work has significantly influenced the field of gender economics research and garnered considerable attention from researchers across the world. Dr. Dang Dinh Thang - Postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Reproduction and Health, Norwegian Center of Research Excellence at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Research Fellow at Environment for Development – EfD UEH Prof. Goldin has been a trailblazer in pioneering universal studies on factors influencing women's participation in the labor market, such as family dynamics, the birth of the first child, income, expectations, diversification of professions, job nature, increased access to education, and the spread of contraceptive use. She also suggested research gaps in women's achievements in the labor market, including natural experiments on policy changes affecting gender gaps, the impact of having a first child, workplace structure and flexibility, various unconventional causes, and policy tools using macro and micro research methods like cross-country data comparison and individual data analysis (Applied Micro Economics). Specifically, Goldin addressed the first reason for women's labor market participation as national policies on maternity support, noting how child care post-childbirth significantly affects women's return to work. The influence of family and friends (Family peer effects) is most evident from the second year after childbirth, following the end of maternity support policies (Nicoletti, Salvanes & Tominey, 2018). Cultural impacts and social norms, particularly in socialist countries, have been shown to encourage higher rates of women returning to work post-childbirth compared to capitalist countries (Boelmann, Raute & Schonberg, 2022). Particularly, Prof. Goldin examined the impact of having a first child (Motherhood impact) through the child penalty index, revealing that while both men and women experience reduced labor costs upon having their first child, women achieve less in the labor market by over 20% (Kleven et al., 2019). This finding is significant for developing more suitable maternity support policies based on specific characteristics. Kleven, Landais, and Leite-Mariante (2023) conducted a study on the child penalty in Ho Chi Minh City and other regions in Vietnam, finding that the penalty for women in Ho Chi Minh City is higher compared to other areas, with a national average penalty of 1.2%. Additionally, various related studies such as government policy interventions on women's labor market contributions (Bertrand et al., 2019), mental health care's impact on improving the labor market (Baranov et al., 2020), workplace harassment and violence (Folke & Rickne, 2022; Adams-Prassl et al., 2023), and economics of the third gender (LGBT) in the workplace (Drydakis, 2022) are hot topics in recent world-renowned journals contributing to gender economics research. Vietnam has one of the world's highest women labor market participation rates, with the Northern region showing higher participation than the South due to the influence of socialist culture and new economic opportunities (Huynh and Ku 2023). However, Vietnam currently lacks extensive gender economics research, presenting potential topics to explore gender differences in its labor market. Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh - Lecturer in the School of Public Finance and the Institute for Agricultural and Health Policy Research, UEH-CELG. Gender inequality manifests in various forms, and Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh has highlighted evidence of harmful practices in Vietnam, such as domestic violence, detrimental customs and behaviors towards women and children, undervalued traditionally female tasks, and limited female leadership in businesses. Recently, there has been a decline in child marriage and harmful customs in ethnic minority areas, with women gaining more rights to participate in state agencies and high-level leadership roles (Source: Inter-Parliamentary Union). Research themes on gender inequality from 2000 to 2021 primarily focused on income, societal roles, financial decisions, and religion, among men and women. However, recent years have seen new topics of interest such as female entrepreneurship, women's relationships with peers and family, and their participation in corporate leadership (Belingheri et al., 2021). According to Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh, gender inequality research can focus on issues like access to education, government policy impacts, societal and relational influences, and family dynamics. The subject of gender inequality extends beyond men and women, including the increasingly recognized third gender globally. Causes of gender inequality worth examining include the post-COVID-19 pandemic situation, inequality among ethnic groups, the third gender, gender equality in green transitions, and in designing educational programs. The CELG Seminar garnered attention from lecturers, researchers, and students, with numerous questions raised during the interaction session. Despite limitations in the volume of global and Vietnam-specific gender inequality research, this presents an opportunity for researchers and students to engage in upcoming gender economics studies. Research in gender economics in Vietnam can significantly contribute to promoting gender equality, socio-economic development, and building a fairer society. Insights from the seminar speakers provide educators, researchers, and students with valuable knowledge and new directions for research, contributing to the United Nations' future goals of addressing gender inequality.

However, SMEs often do not have digital resources and are limited in finance, human resources and qualifications; therefore, they encounter some difficulties in the initial steps of implementing digital transformation. Facing this reality, the author from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted a Delphi survey following the Foresight approach on more than 300 digital transformation experts in SMEs in Vietnam with the purpose of evaluating the characteristics, issues in digital transformation and business vision, future digital transformation in addition to forecasting the need for digital transformation and priority activities for implementing digital transformation in businesses. Implementing the Foresight approach in building digital transformation strategies for SMEs in Vietnam Digital transformation is considered one key and important factor to successfully approach the 4.0 Industrial Revolution and to avoid falling behind. The reality indicates that the developed countries around the world are growing strongly thanks to this transformation. In accordance with the research by Microsoft and IDG in the Asia-Pacific region (Microsoft, 2018), CDs can bring approximately 6% to GDP in 2017, 25% in 2019, and approximately 60% in 2021. In 2018, CDM had an impact on increasing productivity by approximately 15% and is expected to increase to 21% by 2020. At the same time, 85% of jobs will have to change and up to 27% of jobs will no longer exist due to the impact of CDS in the near future. However, implementing CD is not an easy job; organizations must develop and implement strategies to evaluate the impacts of CD. These strategies involve transforming key business activities affecting products and processes as well as the entire business models and management concepts (Matt et al., 2015). The following are the main reasons motivating the research: Overview of the digital transformation situation of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam The study conducted an overview of the current status of digital transformation in SMEs in Vietnam in order to evaluate the level of digital transformation readiness, the barriers and the motivations towards promoting the digital transformation process as well as the policies to support digital transformation from the government for SME enterprises. Level of readiness in terms of digital transformation According to survey results on the level of readiness for Industrial Revolution 4.0 on 2,659 industrial enterprises in Vietnam in 2018, the majority of industrial enterprises (85%) have not made any preparations for Industrial Revolution 4.0; A small number of businesses (13%) are at the ‘beginner’ level; Only 2% of businesses are considered to have basic qualifications and are learning; There are no enterprises rated at the leading level. If evaluated by scale, up to 91% of SMEs are at the outsider level with a score of only 0.51 out of 5 points, of which only 8% of enterprises are at the beginner level, and 1% of enterprises are at the basic level. In addition, according to the survey results of the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA) conducted on 350 businesses in 2019, 30.7% of businesses have learned about digital transformation but do not know what to do while 5.1% of businesses do not understand and have not taken any action on implementing digital transformation. Therefore, it can be assessed that the level of digital transformation readiness of SMEs in Vietnam in the period before 2019 is rather low. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been bright spots in CDS readiness. The results of a survey of 1,000 businesses at the end of 2022 indicate that most businesses (mainly SMEs) are ready for the transition to the digital environment; All industries have a CD readiness score of over 2 points, of which 12 out of 16 industries have a readiness score above the average level (2.5 score). Challenges and barriers to implementing digital transformation According to a study by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in 2017, Vietnamese SMEs often encounter three main following obstacles upon implementing Digital transformation: (1) Lack of access to financial resources, (2) Difficulties to participate in domestic and international value chains, (3) Ineffective government support. The report on the Digital Development Index of SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region conducted on 1,340 businesses in the Asia-Pacific region in April 2020 demonstrates that SMEs in Vietnam often encounter problems. Difficulties in implementing digital transformation are as follows: Lack of digital skills and human resources (17%), “ack of a strong enough IT foundation (16.7%), Lack of digital thinking or digital culture in businesses (15.7%) and so on. According to the results of a survey by Luong Minh Huan (2020) on over 400 businesses in assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the trend of applying digital technology among businesses, the majority of SMEs face the following barriers in applying the digital transformation tool than other large enterprises: High cost of applying digital tools (59.8%), Lack of infrastructure (37.5%), Lack of information regarding digital technology (35.9%), Lack of internal human resources (35.3%) and so on. In order to prepare for the activities of the CDS Enterprise Support Program for the 2021-2025 period, the Enterprise Development Department - Ministry of Planning and Investment (2021) conducted a survey of more than 1,300 enterprises, of which 72% are for SMEs. The survey results present that up to 60.1% of businesses have difficulties in investment costs and application of digital technology; 52.3% of businesses have difficulty changing business habits and practices whlie 52.3% of businesses do not have enough internal human resources to apply digital technology. The driving forces behind the digital transformation process Upon implementing digital transformation, in accordance with Hung (2019), businesses can get the following benefits: (1) Increased profit margin, (2) Increased productivity, (3) Reduced costs, (4) Increased revenue, (5) Increased customer engagement (Hung, 2019). The driving forces for digital transformation of Vietnamese SMEs, in accordance with IDC & Cisco (2020), are as follows: Market growth and expansion (18%), Providing better customer experience (16%), Launching new products/services services or improvements to the existing products/services (15%) and so on. With the impact and the influence from the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnamese SMEs have realized the great benefits of CDs to help businesses overcome the pandemic and develop sustainably in the future. Vietnamese SMEs, in accordance with survey results by Luong Minh Huan (2020), expect digital transformation will help: Reduced costs (67.1%), Reduced paperwork (56.8%), Reduced direct contact (52.1 %) and Effective business administration (51.4%). Policies to support digital transformation from the Government Currently, the Politburo, the Government and other relevant Ministries have issued diverse policies to support SMEs, especially the process of approaching Industrial Revolution 4.0 and implementing digital transformation. Specifically as follows: On June 3, 2020, according to Decision No. 749/QD-TTg, the Prime Minister approved the “National Digital Transformation Program until 2025, orientation to 2030”. On January 7, 2021, the Ministry of Planning and Investment approved the “Program to support community-based enterprises in the period 2021-2025” to support the promotion of digital community in SMEs. After one-year implementation, nearly 200,000 users have accessed guidance documents to raise awareness regarding digital transformation, more than 500 businesses have assessed the level of digital transformation readiness besides approxiamately100 businesses are receiving consulting support. On March 26, 2021, the Ministry of Information and Communications approved the “Support Program for Digital Transformation SMEs” focusing on accelerating digital transformation in SMEs through the application of the best digital platforms.

However, the relationship between hazardous waste management and corporate performance and its impact on various aspects of sustainable development remains unclear. From that situation, the author from Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted research to explore the perceptions of hazardous waste management and its impact on Vietnamese industry practices. Solid waste pollution being completely serious In 2015, the United Nations (UN) announced “Transforming our world: The 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development” with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “harmonically integrated and balanced with three aspects of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental”, addressing global challenges and potential plans for achieving shared prosperity. Accordingly, in terms of sustainable development, businesses need to integrate environmental and social aspects into their core business activities. Among these 17 SDGs and 169 corresponding targets, waste management is one of the most fundamental features. In fact, the rapidly expanding industrialization process generates large amounts of toxic substances listed as toxic gases, liquid waste and electronic waste (e-waste), threatening the balance of the ecosystem and human health worldwide if they are not handled properly. Although developed countries have established standardized processes with high treatment costs for different waste components listed as e-waste, only 20% of them (in 2016) are treated appropriately. In terms of the worldwide scale, the remaining 80% are likely to be discarded, re-traded or recycled ineffectively (Ilankoon et al., 2018). These figures imply that the developing countries, where hazardous waste management is inadequate and underinvested, are facing a proliferation of informal and unregulated recycling facilities that is being beyond control (Jayaraman et al., 2019; Ilankoon et al., 2018). Furthermore, the increase in industrial solid waste in these countries comes from the illegal waste imports from the developed countries. In Vietnam, approximately 80% of the total amount of industrial waste is collected domestically, then, dismantled, sorted, torn apart and, finally, buried or burned manually without meeting hygiene standards, causing highly serious risk environmental and health problems (secondary pollution) (Intelligence, 2020; An, 2014). In addition, similar to the case of other developing countries, the issue regarding toxic waste management in Vietnam is a complex issue due to high population growth, rapid urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, to address these specific challenges, a theoretical and practical system that combines institutional frameworks, organizational capacities and appropriate innovation investments is needed to identify effective determinants towards hazardous waste management in Vietnam. Toxic waste management playing an important role in the sustainable development of businesses The role of effective hazardous waste management in improving sustainable development is obvious. On the one hand, the management of industrial toxic waste charges huge costs. This can cause businesses to face a large financial burden in the short term. On the other hand, it is less expensive than other unexpected costs arising from improper release and management of hazardous waste. Therefore, a suitable waste treatment process not only prevents harmful effects on the environment and human health but also harmonizes the relationship between businesses and stakeholders related to the community and the environment. This is very important for the long-term survival and sustainable development of the business. Which barriers prevent businesses from effectively implementing toxic waste management? Several studies have pointed out common barriers that prevent businesses from participating in hazardous waste management listed as: the lack of appropriate policies and management agencies, the limitations regarding awareness, socio-economic and technical foundations. However, the reality indicates that businesses carry out waste management simply to comply with regulations and are mostly not proactive. Therefore, in the absence of strict policies and financial constraints, they are not implemented or handled improperly. Furthermore, the dominance of the informal sector makes controlling the toxic waste management process more complicated. Negative information concerning informal recycling activities affects business perceptions of ethical practices for hazardous waste management. Theoretically, what are the research gaps from the previous studies? The previous studies have attempted to propose potential solutions to improve hazardous waste treatment processes by exploring the impact of hazardous waste on the environment and human health. Uchida et al. (2018) and Ikhlayel (2018) proposed a solution to ban the storage and burning of e-waste in public areas. Instead, treatment should be done at specialized plants to reduce pollution. Cheng et al. (2019) aims to evaluate the hazards and risks of this type of solid waste. From this background, the authors ranked hazardous chemicals and wastes, determining priorities in waste treatment. On the other hand, these studies approach the problem separately. A comprehensive and systematic approach to analyzing and synthesizing aspects of toxic waste management is essential for sustainable development. From a sustainable development perspective, waste management practices must be consistent with the concept of “Triple bottom lines”. This implies that hazardous waste management strategies involve not only financial aspects but also social and environmental aspects. Thereby, it is necessary to expand common assessment methods to address the systemic interrelationships and multidimensional values ​​between the environment, the society, the technology, and the economy. The important issue is that these aspects involve qualitative attributes, which are often not described by quantitative information. Because linguistic ambiguity in human perception and judgment leads to differences in meaning and interpretation. Evaluation of these values ​​cannot be performed with any single parameter or quantitative method. Therefore, there is a great need for new and effective approaches to linguistic information. However, only a few studies addressing both hazardous waste management and corporate sustainability present attribute estimates with language options. Therefore, this research topic uses fuzzy set theory in the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) and the decision evaluation and testing method (DEMATEL) to resolve uncertainties from qualitative language and to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between the attributes of hazardous waste management and sustainable development. These methods are effective in dealing with qualitative information by converting ambiguous linguistic options into unambiguous values ​​and verifying complex relationships under conditions of information uncertainty or uncertainty. evidence is lacking (Tseng et al., 2020; Lin et al., 2018). In summary, the specific objectives of the study are as follows: (i) Proposing a set of valid and reliable attributes and criteria as a multidimensional measure for meaningful hazardous waste management activities for the sustainable development of businesses; (ii) Effectively handling linguistic judgments using the Fuzzy Delphi Method to access qualitative information; (iii) Visually structuring the cause-and-effect relationships between these attributes through the FDEMATEL causal model and identify priority promotion criteria to enhance hazardous waste management in practice and promote sustainability in business. From there, the article proposes appropriate strategies for businesses to apply in managing toxic waste sustainably and bringing sustainable profits to businesses. The research results demonstrate that the lack of an effective and multi-dimensional management mechanism for toxic industrial waste (policies and regulations, monitoring and management systems as well as infrastructure for classification, collection and recycling) has brought diverse challenges for the management of hazardous industrial waste in practice. Therefore, it is essential to develop structured and effective policy approaches to mitigate these problems and achieve sustainability. In general, this approach requires effective coordination from two sides: the Government and the businesses. In terms of the government, a comprehensive vision, strict law enforcement and supervisory capacity of managers are factors that need to be emphasized. In terms of the businessmen and businesswomen, corporate finance plays an equally important role as institutional vision in implementing sustainable hazardous waste management activities of businesses. The adequacy and the availability of corporate financial resources are necessary to implement and maintain hazardous waste management programs. Although hazardous waste management means incurring costs for businesses, effective toxic waste management contributes to the sustainable development of businesses. To sum up, the government, in addition to measures to force businesses to enforce the law, needs to build appropriate incentive mechanisms for businesses to voluntarily implement effective toxic waste management.

Recognizing the cruciality of human resource element towards the nation, the authors from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) analyzes in accordance with the viewpoint of the Vietnamese Communist Party as well as proposes some recommendations in education, nurturing and enhancing human beings that can be guaranteed for the stable and sustainable development of the nation in the current time. Human beings playing an important role in the revolutionary struggle for national liberation, building and protecting the current Socialist Vietnamese Fatherland. The classicists of Marxism-Leninism have researched and approached humans from the perspective of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, affirming that humans are a natural entity with a social nature as well as human existence and development are closely linked to the existence and the development of one society. They emphasized: “Human nature is not something abstract, inherent to a separate individual. In their realism, human nature is the synthesis of social relationships”. The viewpoint of the Marxist-Leninist classics exudes the following content: Firstly, humans are a unity of biological and social factors; nevertheless, the social factors are the true nature of humans. Secondly, humans are always impacted and influenced by social relationships through their rich and diverse practical activities. Thirdly, humans are always active and creative in renewing themselves, improving the nature and their social relationships. This has affirmed that humans are always at the center of all times, creating their own history. The fact that the cause of human liberation is carried out by human beings themselves is one key and fundamental issue to distinguish the human beings of this era from those of other times; in other words, Marxism-Leninism recognizes and evaluates human beings as their genuine revolutionary and humanistic nature and science. President Ho Chi Minh - one hero of national liberation, one world cultural celebrity - steered the ship of the Vietnamese revolution and affirmed that people are the great driving force that determines all victories of the Vietnamese revolution. Ho Chi Minh’s views and thoughts on people are expressed through different terms as follows: people, farmers, workers, intellectuals, soldiers and so on besides the phrases like ‘people’ strength’, “human strength’, “Nothing in the sky is more precious than the people”, “All power resides in the people” and so on. Therefore, throughout the development process of the Vietnamese revolution, he, along with the Government, did pay attention to taking care of and fostering ‘people’ strength’, creating favorable conditions for people to express and promote their talents and abilities towards the cause of resistance and national construction of the nation. He asserted that: “If a country is independent, in contrast, its people do not enjoy happiness and freedom, independence has no meaning”. He also emphasized that: “We have fought for freedom and independence; on the other hand, people continue to die of hunger and cold, freedom and independence are of no use. Only do people know the value of freedom and independence when they are well fed and clothed”. Therefore, in the revolutionary struggle for national liberation, people have highly promoted the nation’s patriotic traditions and fine cultural values, winning the war of invasion by the French Colonialists and the American Imperialist invaders, completely liberating the South, unifying the Fatherland and the whole country moved towards socialism. Regarding our Communist Party, right after its birth, the flag of national independence and socialism was raised high with determined revolutionary goals and tasks, setting the goal of liberating people from oppression, exploitation and unjust. To carry out the identified requirements and tasks, the Party has gathered and united a large number of classes and classes in a unified national front under the Party’s leadership. The tradition of patriotism and deep hatred of the enemy has been transformed into each specific person, becoming the goal and the ideal of the whole nation’s burning aspiration with the purpose of gaining independence, freedom besides people being in control of their lives and being free in developing and innovating to build an increasingly dignified and beautiful country, on par with the great powers of the five continents of the world. In most congresses, our Party spends a certain amount of time discussing the issue concerning human beings, affirming that human beings are considered as the center and the subject of all activities. The 4th Party Central Committee Conference (Term VII) emphasized that: “Human beings are the most precious capital, taking care of human happiness is the highest goal of our regime. We need to learn deeply how to identify the great values ​​and the decisive significance of the human factor, the subject of all creation, all sources of material wealth and culture, all civilizations of nations, all of which must come from the spirit profound humanity to comprehensively develop people, to build a fair and compassionate society and to establish truly good and progressive relationships among human beings in production and life. Regarding the report summarizes a number of theoretical and practical issues over-20-year innovation (1986 - 2006), our Party affirms that: “People are the most precious capital, developing people as both a driving force and is the goal of the revolution and the cause of national innovation... People and human development are placed at the center of the socio-economic strategy, expanding opportunities and improving conditions for human resource development”. The 12th Party Congress affirmed that: “Building the comprehensive development of the Vietnamese people must become a goal of the development strategy. Summarizing and building the cultural value system and standard value system of Vietnamese people in the period of industrialization, modernization and international integration”. In particular, the 13th Party Congress determined that the basic and central policy throughout the development of a prosperous and happy country is to “maximize the human factor, considering people as the center and the subject, the most important resource and the goal of development”. From the Party’s views on human beings, we can withdraw some basic issues as follows: Firstly, human beings have a particularly important position and role in the development process of the nation’s history, these are the most important resource, no other resource can replace human resources. Secondly, our Party has diverse mechanisms and policies to educate, to foster, and to develop human beings comprehensively in terms of virtue, mind, body and beauty to serve and to create a favorable environment for human beings in order to contribute their talents towards the prosperous and happy development of the country. Thanks to that, in recent years, under the leadership of the Party, the management of the State, the administration of the Government, and the drastic participation of the political system at all levels, people have been comprehensively developed in all aspects. The United Nations has recognized Vietnam as one of the leading countries in realizing the Millennium Development Goals. In 2019, that Vietnam’s human development index (HDI) reached 0.704 implies the belonging to the group of countries with high HDI in the world, especially compared to those of other countries with the same level of development. The average life expectancy of the population increased from 62 years in 1990 to 73.7 years in 2020. Universal primary education in 2000 and universal lower secondary education in 2010 and so on. Nevertheless, in the development process of the country, human beings have not fully promoted their talents and intelligence towards industrialization, modernization, opening up, and international integration: Mechanisms and policies for human development in each field and profession are not specific and clear, especially those concerning training and fostering high-quality human resources and attracting talents; The gap between rich and poor between urban and rural areas, especially in remote areas, is being large; Heavily-individualistic people besides corruption negatively affect the Party’s reputation and positive traditions of the nation and so on. Our country is facing opportunities mixed with risks and challenges: Strategic competition among major countries; Disputes over sovereignty, borders, territories and islands have been taking place whereas the traditional and non-traditional security challenges are fierce and drastic; The 4.0 Industrial Revolution has a profound and comprehensive impact on human life, both contributing to improving the life quality and posing extremely dangerous consequences for people if used for the wrong purposes and so on. Domestically, although the country has achieved many great achievements of historical significance after more than 36 years of innovation under the correct and creative leadership of the Party, many difficulties, challenges, and risks that Our Party points out are being existing; more than that, they become even more severe and complicated, a state of deterioration in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, negativity, corruption, manifestations of ‘self-evolution’ and ‘self-transformation’. ‘Internalization’ within a section of Cadres and Party Members, especially officials with positions and powers, is being serious and so on while the goals and the tasks of the 13th Party Congress and the conclusions of the Associations are being serious. The fact that the Central Conference (Term XIII) sets out a very urgent, which cannot be delayed any further, requires all levels and branches to thoroughly grasp and seriously implement the Party’s viewpoints and ideologies: “One demands, hundreds follow”, “The front exhorts the rear”, “Agreement from top to bottom”, “Smooth vertical and horizontal lines” and so on. Educating, fostering and promoting human beings to guarantee the stable and current sustainable development of the country Firstly, continuing to innovate in order to improve the quality of education and to train high-quality human resources to meet the required practical requirements and tasks The 13th Party Congress clearly stated that: “Building synchronous institutions and policies to effectively implement the policy of education and training along with science and technology is the top national policy and the key driving force towards developing the country”. Accordingly, right from all levels of education, especially high-school level, teachers and parents must orient their children’s future in choosing a career that suits their personal abilities and strengths; Paying more attention to educating ethics, personality, creative capacity and core values, especially educating the spirit of patriotism, pride, and national self-respect and so on; Integrating education of knowledge, ethics, and aesthetics beauty, life skills with physical education, improving the stature of Vietnamese people; Flexibly and creatively applying educational forms and methods suitable for each level of education, promoting the learners’ creative spirit, capacity and strengths; Building a clean, healthy, simple living and educational environment, truly a ‘launching pad’ and ‘support pillar’ for human beings. There are mechanisms and policies to encourage and to motivate learners to make inventions in order to improve the quality of education and training, making certain contributions to the overall development of the country. High-school pupils participating in the admission and career counseling program by Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics (UEH) Secondly, preserving and promoting the nation’s fine traditional cultural values ​​in life and work practice. With thousands of years of history building and defending the nation, our ancestors left behind a rich tradition of experience, cultural values, ethics, and a completely specific and typical lifestyle; in other words, this is identified as patriotic tradition: the spirit of hard work, diligence, and creativity; human will and desire to rise; solidarity and love helping each other in tribulation, difficulty, studiousness, international spirit and beyond. The 13th Party Congress clearly stated that: “Protect and promote positive and sustainable values ​​in Vietnamese cultural traditions”. Accordingly, Party Committees, Party Organizations at all levels, Heads of Agencies, Units, and Localities educate Cadres, Party members, civil servants, public employees, workers, and human beings of all walks of life regarding the positive traditions of the nation, the Party, and the locality. Concretizing and institutionalizing into specific and practical programs and actions, suitable to the characteristics, requirements and tasks of each Agency, Unit and Locality; Organizing and effectively implementing the Party’s views, guidelines and policies, and the State’s policies and laws. Paying attention and caring for the material and spiritual lives of subordinates, especially households with many difficulties; effectively resolving concerns and questions of human beings from all walks of life; linking the protection of good traditional national cultural values ​​with tourism development, promotion and introduction to the outside world; combining the protection of traditional cultural values ​​with the fight to eliminate social evils, negative habits, illegal habits that go against the national and ethnic interests and plots and tricks of “peaceful evolution” activities of other hostile and reactionary forces. Thirdly, having appropriate and effective mechanisms and policies to motivate and to encourage people towards developing and contributing to the country. During the process of leading the Vietnamese Revolution, our Party and President Ho Chi Minh proposed absolutely appropriate mechanisms and policies that met the aspirations and desires of people. Thanks to this, human talent and intelligence in all fields and activities of social life are stimulated and awakened. Each mechanism and policy proposed by our Party and State in recent years, in each specific field, is appropriate, creative, effective, promoting internal and external resources to accelerate the process of industrialization, modernization, building and firmly defending the Socialist Vietnamese Fatherland in the new situation. Accordingly, all levels and branches, especially leaders in each specific field and activity, must thoroughly grasp and seriously implement the Party’s policies, State policies and laws, and regulations of the State Agencies, Units, localities, and fine cultural traditions left by ancestors in the lineage and the family. The Leaders must be exemplary, pure, honorable, wholehearted and devoted to the common revolutionary mission of the Party and the People, putting the interests of the Party and the People first; Promoting the human beings’ right to mastery, seriously implementing the views and ideology of the 13th Party Congress which pointed out that “the people know, the people discuss, the people do, the people check, the people supervise, the people enjoy”. Resolutely and thoroughly eliminating from the apparatus those Cadres, Party Members, Civil Servants, and public employees who have individualistic ideology, group interests, local factions, gangs, factions, and impure hearts; Maintaining and strengthening regulations and disciplines in Agencies, Units, and Localities, ensuring that all human activities develop normally, without being hindered by any force in the process of living and doing business.

The concept of circular economy has been recognized and is a practical solution for the sustainable development of countries around the world. The activities of the circular economy model help reuse limited resources, minimizing the impact of climate change and environmental pollution. Vietnam is a country heavily affected by climate change; therefore, applying the circular economy model in Vietnam is inevitable in the context of increasingly depleted resources. For the Mekong Delta region, applying the circular economy model will help this region protect the natural ecology and develop sustainably in the future, focusing on a growth model toward innovation and minimizing harm to the surrounding environment. With the mission of a multidisciplinary University, UEH has implemented many green and sustainable development strategies in the Mekong Delta region with the desire to contribute to creating economic growth opportunities and minimizing negative impacts on the environment, supporting the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and facing the challenge of climate change”. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH and Director of VLC - delivering the opening speech at the Conference Since its inception, the Conference has attracted a lot of attention from specialists and academicians and received 85 presentations addressing different aspects of circular economy with sustainable development, circular business models, and the relationship between circular economy with financial effectiveness and the company value, thereby, proposing policy implications that contribute to the effective implementation of circular economy, promoting sustainable development of Vietnam including the Mekong Delta region.

This effort has reaped many achievements in recent times and has officially made UEH one of the seven higher education institutions in Vietnam operating under the model of a "Multidisciplinary university". 2021 - Internal restructuring according to the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University strategy after a long preparation process As of October 2023, UEH has completed a journey of 47 years of formation and development as a key national higher education institution, accompanying the modernity and innovation of the country. In the current period, internationalization and change management according to social practices are the school's top priorities, with the goal of bringing Vietnamese higher education closer to the world and helping Vietnamese learners have the ability to develop competitively in the international environment. In 2021, UEH has proactively restructured internally, becoming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University. This is a popular trend in the world, helping to promote multidisciplinary research and training capacity and connecting with the community through multilateral projects on training, research, and consulting to solve global problems. Specifically, Multidisciplinary UEH is developed through 2 phases, from 2021 to 2030: Phase 1 (2021 - 2025): Forming a multi-disciplinary University in Economics, Business - Management, Social Sciences, Technology and Design on the basis of restructuring the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City into a comprehensive University with 3 Member Colleges including UEH College of Business; UEH College of Economics, Law and Government; UEH College of Technology and Design along with the activities of UEH Vinh Long Campus in the Mekong Delta.

With clearly planned strategies, since 2021, UEH has flexibly operated according to a 3-level model: University - Member College/Campus - School/Institute/Department in a flexible manner in the direction of increasing sovereignty for member colleges. In this way, the school can focus on developing multidisciplinary knowledge based on inherent resources and build a mechanism to share resources smoothly among member colleges. 2021 - 2023: Two years of unanimous transformation of the entire UEHer, ready for a new milestone In order to operate smoothly and effectively the new strategy and new management model, over the past two years, the entire UEHer from the University level, Member Colleges/Institutions to schools and institutes have made efforts, step by step getting acquainted with the new strategy and management model, understanding and proactively engaging in the process. There are many steps and lessons that are worth mentioning in this transition period, typically: The in-depth, flexible and innovative management perspective of UEH's leadership team at all levels; The birth of the Steering and Executive Committee of the "Sustainable University" Project in early 2022 as a specialized team, paving the way for specific activities on sustainable development and action of the school; Consistently implementing the principle of "Democracy - Openness - Fairness" in management and administration activities; Promoting the effectiveness of the decentralized management model, increasing sovereignty for UEH member colleges; Proactive coordination and support of UEH functional units with each other and with member colleges. Thanks to that, UEH has been maintaining its inherent stability and development momentum, and achieves extremely positive results. These are positive signals that help the entire UEH believe in this new journey, creating momentum for the vision of becoming a multidisciplinary university with an academic and sustainable reputation in the Asian region by 2030. Specifically : Receiving the First Class Independence Medal awarded by the President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam according to Decision No. 1686/QD-CTN dated October 26, 2021.

ArtTech is predicted by experts to be a FUTURE TREND, an intersection between art and technology bringing unique, creative and immersive experiences to participants. This trend is expected to continue to open up many new opportunities, promoting development in the field of future art and technology and strong applications in many industries and fields. What is ArtTech? ArtTech (Art and Technology), the integration of art and technology, is a rapidly growing field. People often mistakenly think that ArtTech is simply the application of digital tools to art. What is more, ArtTech refers to using technology to create unique interactive art experiences, bringing vivid, immersive experiences and leaving a deep impression in the hearts of viewers. ArtTech often includes a combination of fields listed as digital art, multimedia design, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), NFT, Robot Art, Virtual Human, Interactive Art, Real time Graphics, Generative Art, and many other technologies to create new and unique art experiences. According to Dr. Dong Su Yi - Deputy Dean of UEH School of Media Design (Former Global Creative Director of Ogilvy&Mather) said: “In the current context, ArtTech is an important intersection between artistic creativity and technological advances. History shows that pioneering innovators with radical visions like Nam June Paik, with groundbreaking innovations in the field of video art, predicted the integration of ArtTech, or Steve Jobs who is famous for combining aesthetics in design and technology asserted that the pinnacle of technological progress lies in the intersection with art. The future trend is the blend of art and technology”. ArtTech delivers immersive and creative experiences for the unique combination of art, philosophy and science. Besides using the creativity of art to explore, challenge and expand the limits of technology, ArtTech promotes profound contemplations on the nature and value of art, along with the use of science and philosophy to create new perspectives on art. This opens up unlimited potential in art, with new creative opportunities and challenges to traditional notions of art and technology. Therefore, investing in training in the field of ArtTech will create conditions for a new generation to be ready for creating and contributing to artistic innovations, instead of enjoying it.

ArtTech has achieved a number of achievements in the recent years. Interactive art using AR/VR allows viewers to participate and interact with the artwork. In addition, digital sculptures with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology and 3D printing have allowed artists to create complex, detailed digital sculptures with high precision. Liveshows that apply new technology and modern art events often use light, sound, digital images, and technical effects to create a vivid and immersive experience for the audience. For example, the 2023 Asian Games taking place in Hangzhou (China) from September 23 to October 8, 2023, have used ArtTech to create a unique sports experience by combining artistic and technological elements to make sporting events more attractive to audiences using big data, artificial intelligence and virtual reality. The avatars have the ability to move, jump, engage and even participate in the Metaverse world of “Hangzhou Games” where interactive virtual reality sports games with the Game’s mascots take place. Athletes and tourists can approach the automated mobile ice cream carts, and simply wave their hands to choose from a variety of ice cream flavors, including avocado, peach and vanilla. The photo booths are equipped with 140 small cameras capable of creating creative 3D representations for visitors in just 5 to 8 minutes. Avatar of table tennis player with mascot Lianlian in the 2022 Asian Games metaverse Global and Vietnamese ArtTech trends ArtTech is becoming a global trend with 4 prominent branches. One is Interactive Installations, with the philosophy of “expanding multi-sensory experiences’, art installations are becoming more and more interactive. Using sensors, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, ArtTech creates interactive experiences that push the boundaries of traditional art. The second is Virtual Art Galleries. In the digital world, geographical barriers are being broken, organizing exhibitions and online virtual art galleries allows artists to have a platform to incorporate global perspectives, as works and exhibitions can be accessed and shared around the world via the internet, eliminating geographical and time constraints. This promotes diversity and creativity in the arts, allowing artists to engage with international audiences more easily than ever before. Third is NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), reshaping the value of art in a digital aspect. NFTs validate the value of digital artists and bring reality to virtual works. Fourth is AI-Created Art, challenging the nature of creativity is the key point of art created by artificial intelligence (AI), blurring the lines between human imagination and machine precision. This creates works that can achieve limitless precision and creativity. In Vietnam, recently, ArtTech has developed significantly in many fields listed as marketing, advertising, communications, event organization, performing arts, entertainment industry, etc. Art organizations and businesses have begun investing in and supporting ArtTech projects, enabling artists and technology developers to develop creative ideas. For example, the exhibition series Lit, Under The Sun, etc. organized by Sunlife insurance company has shown a unique combination of art and digital technology. In addition, Vietnamese visual artists have collaborated to create a digital art museum called Livelab with a scale of more than 1,000 square meters in Hue. This is a space that combines technology - art - entertainment and education, providing visitors with unique experiences, while also helping visitors have a vivid view of local culture. More and more artists are digitizing and using technology to create digital works of art, from digital painting to 3D sculpture and VR/AR art. NFTs have begun to attract the attention of artists and promote the development of NFTs in Vietnam. In that trend, UEH is building and is expected to deploy an ArtTech training major in the near future. In short, ArtTech is truly a future trend, with the potential to bring many development opportunities in the field of art and creativity, in many industries both globally and in Vietnam. Let’s look forward to many interesting things from this couple of ‘Art’ and ‘Tech’ in the near future. *ArtTech Fusion 2023 (ATF) takes place from October 13 - 15, 2023, at campuses A, B, V of UEH. ArtTech Fusion 2023 includes 16 exhibitions, 5 seminars, and 1 interactive performance. ArtTech Fusion aims to apply ArtTech as a tool to solve social and professional problems through education and research to contribute to improving the quality of life. At the same time, it is an environment that encourages creative innovation and inspires art towards sustainable action.

Currently ‘hot’ social issues related to sustainable development The modern world is facing significant challenges. According to the United Nations Report, approximately 9% of the world’s population – around 690 million people - are suffering from hunger in 2019. Besides, air pollution is causing 7 million deaths each year. A number of other challenges listed as injustice and climate change are having increasingly profound impacts. Faced with this situation, many people ask themselves: “How can we save ourselves?”. With the above question, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become a torch to illuminate the path to "save ourselves". Established in 2015, the SDGs include 17 global sustainable development goals, aiming to address the above issues. As of 2023, according to data from the United Nations, only 55% of the goals have made significant progress. Meanwhile, 30% of the goals remain stagnant and the remaining 15% of goals lack data (Source: SDG 2023 Report). Specifically, human-related issues - listed as hunger, poverty, health and education - are facing many difficulties. Vietnam, one of 14 members of the United Nations Human Rights Council, term 2023-2025, has committed to “Leaving no one behind”. The Vietnamese Government and the United Nations have classified SDG goals into four major groups: People, Environment, Prosperity and Peace to have effective implementation strategies. This year - 2023 - marks the halfway point of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed in 2015 and achieved by 2030. Independent scientists are appointed by the United Nations: “At recent meetings, we have affirmed that with the current momentum of progress, it will be difficult for us to achieve the goals in the 17 SDGs on schedule; Of course, we cannot just sit there and expect the situation to become brighter if we do not start promoting the implementation” (Source: Shirin et al., 2023). At the current rate of progress, poverty in the world will be existing, and universalization of education will be difficult (compared to the goal of universalization for all countries and territories by 2030). According to predictions, by the end of this decade, our world will have 575 million people living in poverty, 600 million malnourished people and 84 million children and young people without a formal education. The average global temperature will increase by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the acceptable increase in accordance with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (2015). Last but not least, with current progress, it will take another 300 years for us to reach the goals of gender equality. Global leaders are being urged to act now to remove barriers and accelerate progress. Facing this challenge, ArtTech Hub owned by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and the annual ArtTech Fusion event series were born with the mission of contributing to creatively solving problems related to social sustainability through the intersection of art and technology, aiming to solve the complex challenges of today and help build a sustainable future. UEH students and ArtTech at Campus A (UEH) ArtTech - An innovative sustainable development solution ArtTech is a rapidly growing field in the digital age. With the intersection of art and technology, ArtTech plays an important role in creatively solving social issues related to sustainability. Art has the ability to express subtle and complex aspects of life and the environment.

In particular, science and technology are two extremely important factors that determine the success of this development process. From in-depth research, the author at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) would like to propose measures towards promoting the application of science and technology to boost the process of industrialization and modernization of our country. The Document of the 13th Party Congress affirms: continuing to consistently implement the policy of science and technology is the top national policy and the key driving force to develop modern and innovative production forces, to renew growth model as well as to improve productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy. Concretizing these views of the 13th Congress, Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW dated November 17, 2022 at the 6th Conference of the Party Central Committee (Term XIII) on promoting industrialization and modernization (industrialization and modernization) of the country by 2030, vision to 2045, once again, emphasizes: Industrialization and modernization of the country is a fundamental and comprehensive transformation of the economy and the social life, founded mainly on the development of industry and the services on the foundation of science, technology and innovation. From the above perspectives, it can be demonstrated that science and technology is an extremely important factor that is decisive for the success of the country’s industrialization and modernization process, bringing Vietnam on par with the powers of the five continents in the world. Applying science and technology to promote industrialization and modernization of the country After more than 35 years of national innovation under the Party’s leadership, science and technology have been widely applied in all activities, especially in the industrial sector to promote the process of industrialization and modernization of the country. The mid-term National Conference of the Party’s 7th Term (1994) put forth the viewpoint and goal as follows: Industrialization must proceed hand in hand with modernization, forming spearheads of economic development at an advanced level compared to that of science and technology in the curent world. The 9th Party Congress clearly pointed out that developing science and technology along with developing education and training is the top national policy, the foundation and driving force to promote industrialization and modernization. The 12th Party Congress emphasized: strongly developing science and technology, making science and technology truly the top national policy, the most important driving force to develop modern production forces and a fourth-generation economy. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW emphasized: quickly shifting from processing and assembling to researching, designing and manufacturing in Vietnam, focusing on developing a number of service industries with advantages and high-content knowledge and technology, focusing on promoting the service sector of industries. Consequently, to promote industrialization and modernization of the country, we must master the application of science and technology invented and researched by humans, not being dependent on outsiders as well as focus on training high-quality human resources, using science and technology in all fields and occupations. We, over the past time, under the leadership of the Party, the management of the State, the administration of the Government, and the drastic participation of the political system at all levels, have received the sympathy and support from all classes of people, the science and technology applications have been implemented drastically and synchronously by Agencies, Ministries and Branches from central to local levels with rich and diverse contents, forms and measures so as to take advantage of and to exploit science and technology for socio-economic development effectively while bringing efficiency to businesses, manufacturers and people. Many science and technology research centers with a team of experienced, dedicated scientists, responsible to the Party, State and people day and night research science and technology products applied to each field of human life. The Party and our State have diverse mechanisms and policies to apply science and technology to life as follows: Encouraging, motivating, and honoring science and technology researchers whose products are put into real life; Supporting businesses and factories in transferring science and technology; Being a bridge in joint ventures, linking the installation of domestic equipment and machinery with foreign countries. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW assessed that after more than 35 years of innovation, especially in 10 years (2011-2020), industrialization and modernization have promoted economic growth at a high level, reaching an average of 6.17% per year: growth quality has improved and the scale of the economy has increased rapidly; the economic structure and labor structure are shifting positively with the contribution to GDP of industry and services reaching 72.7% by 2020, making our country a developing country with middle income. On the other hand, the application of science and technology, especially the achievements of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, in fields and industries to promote the process of industrialization and modernization are having some limitations as follows: The transfer and application of science and technology is being slow, not strongly and decisively enough in creating outstanding characteristic marks for the development of specific industries and fields like heavy industry, services, agricultural processing and so on; Science and technology centers are not operating effectively and have not been able to promote their advantages and conditions yet as well as being dependent on the support and assistance of the Party and State; Some scientists and technologists are not truly dedicated and responsible in putting the interests of the Party, State and people first, for the benefits of the nation and the people, creating science and technology products and putting them into application. In real life, production and business develop completely effectively, bringing profits to the economy and the society, promoting economic growth and people’s quality of life. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW clearly pointed out that the internal strength of the economy is being weak, labor productivity is low while improvement is slow; Low capacity for independence and autonomy, highly dependent on foreign-invested sectors; The domestic private economic sector has not met its role as an important driving force promoting industrialization and modernization yet; State-owned enterprises are having many limitations; Innovation and improving collective economic efficiency is facing many difficulties. Facing the requirements and the tasks of the period of industrialization and modernization promotion of the country, especially the goal of turning our country into a developed industrial country with high income by 2045, applying science and technology, especially the achievements of Industrial Revolution 4.0, innovation, has attracted more and more domestic and foreign resources towards focusing on developing the key, heavy industries as well as creating strategic breakthroughs and development of the national economy, continue to enhance the country’s position and reputation in the international arena and so on. Applying science and technology to promote the process of industrialization and modernization is both an immediate urgent requirement and task as well as a strategic long-term strategic issue, ensuring the country’s sustainable development. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW sets out the goals, the roadmap, and the process of industrialization and modernization to ensure macroeconomic stability; proactively and actively integrating deeply and effectively internationally; provoking aspirations for development, national entrepreneurship spirit, and innovation; promoting the quintessential values ​​of national culture, the bravery and the intelligence of the Vietnamese people besides the traditions of the working class and the pioneering role of Vietnamese intellectuals and businessmen. Some measures to promote the application of science and technology to boost the process of industrialization and modernization in our country First, innovating the leadership and management thinking of heads of agencies, units and localities towards the application of science and technology in production and business fields and industries, with a focus on heavy industry. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW emphasizes the promotion of the position and the role of the leader in innovative thinking, awareness and drastic actions, continuing to accelerate the process of industrialization and modernization in the country. Applying science and technology to production and business development, especially in heavy industry, services, and agricultural processing, needs to have an appropriate roadmap; in other words, we cannot be hasty, waste stages or have to to apply immediately. Accordingly, Party Committees, Party Organizations, Heads of Agencies, Units, and Localities are fully aware of the importance of converting and applying science and technology to industries and services; Leading and directing units, establishments, factories and enterprises under their management to boldly convert outdated, outdated, low-productivity and poor-quality machinery and equipment to modern machinery and equipment, high product quality; Accompanying businesses, agencies, units and localities to practice science and technology applications; Leading and directing drastic, synchronous and timely action on measures to strongly apply science and technology into social life; Fields and activities serving socio-economic development must be innovated, focusing on spearhead, key, and decisive industries that create breakthroughs that change the appearance and the face of the socio-economic picture of the Agency, Unit and Locality. In particular, it is emphasized that in the period 2031 - 2045, it is to focus on improving the quality of industrialization and promoting comprehensive modernization in all areas of the economy and the social life. Second, continuing to improve mechanisms and policies on the application and development of science and technology. Documents of the 13th Party Congress affirm the following activities: promptly removing problems, well implementing policies on training, fostering, attracting, appreciating and rewarding science and technology staff, especially the leading specialists and talents in industry majors in the field of science and technology. Concretizing the views of the 13th Congress of the Party, Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW continues to emphasize and to improve mechanisms and policies for the development of science and technology, innovation in accordance with our Vietnamese reality and international practice. With this spirit, Heads of Agencies, Units, and Localities actively and proactively coordinate with scientists to research and to apply science and technology to each specific field and activity; to promote the creative and democratic spirit of scientists; to create favorable conditions for scientists and scientific research centers to apply products created by individuals and groups into practice; to have public and transparent operating regulations on applied science and technology products. Additionally, applied science and technology products must be practical, effective, cost-effective, and useful for socio-economic development and transport infrastructure. On the foundation of mechanisms and policies of the Party and State, Agencies, Units and Localities, in accordance with historical conditions and circumstances, specifically build and promulgate appropriate and effective science and technology application plans effectively, promoting conditions and advantages to arouse the will and the strength of the great national unity bloc. Mechanisms and policies to apply science and technology into real life are unique, stimulating the development of Agencies, Units and Localities, bringing favorable conditions to attract investment, to solve problems, to create jobs for workers, to increase average GDP/person, to minimize adverse factors affecting all aspects of Agencies, Units and Localities. It is to focus on applying science and technology to implement digital transformation, minimizing cumbersome and unnecessary procedures, aiming for quick, concise, easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement operations for all classes of people. Third, focusing on developing a number of key science and technology industries, directly solving urgent problems for the country. The 13th Party Congress clearly pointed out that it is to develop a number of key science and technology industries, directly solving urgent problems in accordance with the country’s conditions and resources. Accordingly, Agencies, Units and Localities need to do the following activities: Identifying clearly spearhead and key industries to focus on investment, research and application of science and technology; to concentrate on training and fostering high-quality human resources in those key industries; Building a flexible and creative research and application of science and technology environment to stimulate new ideas from a team of scientists and technology scientists; Mobilizing resources, especially facilities and  to fund for the application of science and technology to production and business; Checking and evaluating the quality of science and technology products applied to real life by relevant authorities and professional forces; Strengthening joint ventures and partnerships with foreign countries in cooperation in research and application of science and technology for socio-economic development and strengthening national defense and security; Acquiring, inheriting and selectively developing experience and research methods applying science and technology to mining, manufacturing machinery and equipment components to reduce input material costs of the Vietnamese market and so on. To achieve the goals and the tasks identified above, the leading factor is to strengthen the leadership and direction of Party Committees, Heads of Agencies, Units and Localities; promoting the spirit of “Daring to think, dare to speak, dare to do, dare to innovate and dare to endure difficulties and hardships and dare to be responsible to the organization for their decisions”; building a democratic and scientific working atmosphere for everyone: respecting and listening to the opinions of experts, scientists, officials, civil servants, public employees and people towards creating favorable conditions for everyone. From this foundation, more reasonable and scientific adjustments and supplements to maintain political stability, social order and safety to effectively implement Resolution of the 13th Party Congress, Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW and Resolution of the General Assembly Associations of all levels have been proposed. The Central Region’s economy having achieved massive achievements after 30-year innovation Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW defines the general goal by 2030: Vietnam basically achieves the criteria of an industrial country, becoming a developing country with modern industry, and a high average income; People’s lives are improved. More than ever, the Heads of Agencies, Units, and Localities wholeheartedly serve the common revolutionary missions of the Party, the State and the People, promoting the spirit of dedication, innovation, and creativity. Therefore, applying science and technology to real life brings practical results. Whether the process of industrialization and modernization of the country takes place either quickly or slowly or with or without quality depends greatly on the application of science and technology in all fields, especially the country’s industry. This is definitely the roadmap, solid, effective and decisive steps for the people and the country of Leaders at all levels in applying science and technology towards promoting the process of industrialization and modernization of the country.

With a youthful spirit and willingness to experience, our freshmen have created a more exciting atmosphere than ever for EZ this October. Let's relive those moments with us and immerse yourself in this excitement! Shyness asides, let’s confide with UEH English Zone The first few months in a foreign land are probably the time when students face the biggest culture shock. Because this is the period when they have to go through changes in all aspects of life, especially relationships: having to live far away from family, connections abruptly become distant because "one is at the beginning, the other is at the end of a river,... Having no one to talk with. Deeply understanding that feeling, on October 11th, the Youth Union of the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​in conjunction with UEH English Zone organized the Coffee Talk #30: Relationtrip with the desire to create an opportunity for students to share their stories about changes in personal relationships. This is also an opportunity for them to have new companions for thr upcoming journey. Music has always been an indispensable part of our lives. And within the framework of Coffee Talk held every 2 weeks at English Zone, the Coffee Talk#31: Musileb held on October 26th is designed for music-lovers. At this ECoff, the students will freely discuss knowledge, music idols and show off their singing talent right away. Open up to the Union - Student Association of the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​about surrounding relationships in Coffee Talk #30: Relationtrip This October, there’s also a very special day, which is Vietnamese Women's Day - October 20th. And to honor the value of these silent "superheroes", the Speaking Group Extended - She/Her/Hers session was co-organized by Bell UEH English Club and UEH English Zone on October 19th was upbrought to express gratitude to the amazing women in our lives. Here, English Zone’s got the chance to immerse in many meaningful and emotional stories.

"Brain twisting" Board Games have brought a lot of laughter and intellectual challenges UEH English Zone Talks are equally exciting with extremely diverse topics but also very familiar to students such as love, fear, or preventing violence in life. UEHers were able to freely express multi-dimensional perspectives, debate actively, and improve their English skills in just over a short hour per Talk. Additionally, the UEH English Zone created a unique Talk session that combined the Talk and DIY in response to October 20th being Vietnamese Women's Day. Even though there are challenges at first, our students eventually created lovely handmade cards to give to their beloved women.

As a result, sustainable fashion has recently become one of the most popular topics. Young consumers are becoming more interested in fabrics of natural origin and traditional materials and how to properly preserve clothing and limit waste. Growing demand for sustainable fashion among young people has created opportunities while posing challenges for this trend in Vietnam. Vast opportunities for development Sustainable fashion is defined as products made from safe, biodegradable, or reusable materials with a manufacturing process that minimizes raw material costs while limiting waste in the environment. This trend is fostering a humane, environmentally friendly fashion style that appeals to young people (According to Bao Nguoi Lao Dong). After a long period of development, sustainable fashion has achieved outstanding results all over the world. The creation of The CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards in 2022 through the collaboration of Italy's CNMI and the United Nations' Ethical Fashion Initiative (EFI) project has contributed to the industry's affirmation of the voice of sustainable fashion. Furthermore, the transformation of major brands following sustainable fashion trends with specific goals and actions strengthens the trends' position and potential for future growth. Sustainable products come from big brands Adidas, H&M, Levi's (Source: Adidas, H&M, Levi's) In Vietnam, sustainable fashion has also achieved certain achievements. Designer Pham Ngoc Anh has made La Pham the only Vietnamese brand to participate in Switzerland's largest sustainable fashion program - UN-DRESS. In addition, designer duo Huynh Hai Long and designer Dang The Huy brought the Revival collection to perform at the New York Fashion Week framework. In that positive development trend, the birth of fashion brands with the orientation of using environmentally friendly ecological materials and ECOSOI, a Vietnamese company pioneering the production of fabrics from pineapple fibers, has shown a promising future of sustainable fashion in the country. Sustainable fashion has also made some progress in Vietnam. Designer Pham Ngoc Anh has made La Pham the only Vietnamese brand to participate in UN-DRESS, Switzerland's largest sustainable fashion program. In addition, designer duo Huynh Hai Long and designer Dang The Huy brought the Revival collection to New York Fashion Week to perform. In that positive development trend, the birth of fashion brands oriented toward using environmentally friendly ecological materials, as well as ECOSOI, a Vietnamese company pioneering the production of fabrics from pineapple fibers, has demonstrated that the country has a promising future of sustainable fashion. A hemp fabric jacket design with patterns drawn with beeswax by designer Pham Ngoc Anh at UN-DRESS (Source: Bazaar Vietnam) When fashion reached version 4.0 The combination of modern technologies and sustainable fashion has been in the spotlight recently. By using AI in creating promotional images and allowing customers to experience products, fashion brands have significantly minimized the amount of clothing used for client try-ons. Furthermore, applying 3D printing technology to create accessories and jewelry helps brands save money and produce nearly no waste, contributing to the reduction of the negative impacts that can bring to the environment. 3D printing technology is a starting step for sustainable fashion trends in the modern, advanced era. (Source: Balenciaga) Even though sustainable fashion has only recently emerged in Vietnam, the chances and development potential of the aforementioned trend are always promising. The introduction of the ECOSOI company to the Shark Tank Vietnam program, with its main product being fabric made from pineapple fiber, has demonstrated new prospects for Vietnam's sustainable fashion industry. The company has struck an export agreement with Pinatex, the world's largest leather maker from pineapple fibers. At the same time, the company anticipates revenue of up to 40 billion VND in 2023 and 71.5 billion VND in 2024. Steps to create sustainable pineapple fiber for the fashion industry at ECOSOI (Source: ECOSOI) Challenges to improve more and more Most buyers associate these products with exorbitant prices when it comes to sustainable fashion. Mr. Brittany Burns, director of strategy and business development at the non-profit organization Fashion For Good, weighs in on the above opinion. Sustainable fashion products will often have quite high prices compared to fast fashion products. However, differences in materials, production stages, and advanced technologies are why product prices increase. More sustainable clothes that can be utilized for a longer period will equate to a more expensive price.  Instead of focusing solely on the price, recall the adage "Buy quality and buy less". Sustainable products are worth the money if you assist yourself with a long-term view. Another common misconception about sustainable fashion products is that the colors are not eye-catching or diversified, and do not match current fashion trends. Many designers think that sustainable fashion has been, is, and will continue to be a development trend that cannot be disregarded in the future of this "trillion-dollar" industry. Famous fashion brands are always creating diverse designs and colors and presenting numerous distinctive and eye-catching collections made from sustainable materials. In addition, domestic brands such as Kilomet109, The 31, TimTay, and others are making efforts to diversify fashion products in terms of both image and material. Jackets, dresses, and trousers products come from the Kilomet109 brand (Source: Kilomet109) When sustainable materials are mostly taken from different locations in limited quantities, building a green production line has gradually become a top problem for every fashion brand that wishes to pursue this trend. Fashion companies need help sourcing raw materials and implementing sustainable production with all the necessary equipment. With more stages to go through, the risk of product price increases is one of the concerns of sustainable fashion brands. Furthermore, with the transportation of raw materials and products, it is impossible to ignore the harmful effects on the environment during this period. This will most likely make the product "sustainable" but also harmful to the environment. Application of sustainable fashion at UEH In addition to creating programs and events aimed at creating a Green Campus, UEH has sought to contribute to the sustainable future of society and the community as part of its vision to become a sustainable university, gaining the "Rethink & Be Green" community's support in promoting green lifestyle from students and officials. Through events like the "Greenlife Artistry" Exhibition, the fashion show "Green Fashion for Life," and guides on incorporating sustainable fashion into daily life, UEH also offers its members the chance to immerse themselves in green fashion. Sustainable fashion is one of the new and distinct paths in the Vietnamese fashion industry. Especially in light of the growing sustainability trend, more and more development opportunities for sustainable fashion, such as using 3D printing technology, traditional materials ... Vietnam's embrace of sustainable fashion will be fruitful and have great potential. With no doubt, UEHers in particular, will significantly impact establishing a Green Campus by taking the initiative and dressing sustainably. UEHer global citizens who are constantly concerned with sustainability, strive toward it, and give back to the community would be produced as a result. References: Ngan Ha. (2023).

UEH students participated in a teamwork workshop. The importance of teamwork abilities has increased recently across all contexts. Because solving problems as a team enables people with various perspectives, knowledge, and skills. This diversity inspires original, multifaceted ideas that empower the team to develop more focused and efficient solutions. However, working in teams or groups may only be completely effective if the participants have the necessary skills. By bringing teams and groups into this discussion, Dr. McGregor has provided UEH students with valuable and priceless knowledge about teamwork skills. She asserts that each team member must be able to use hard and soft skills when working in groups. In particular, they should be able to integrate hard skills like time management, listening, and critical thinking with their knowledge and abilities.  The capacity of a team to equally divide and distribute tasks so that each individual can exert their best effort and produce the best results. Teamwork skills divide and assign tasks appropriately, maximize member abilities, and achieve the best productivity. Despite completely random group formation, the students were able to complete the challenge in a short period of time with high accuracy and excellent results. The discussion went smoothly and generated a lot of interest among the attendees. Even though the event lasted only two hours, Dr. McGregor instilled knowledge in UEH students while fostering a positive and energizing environment. By combining in-person and online platforms, UEH English Zone was able to fortify connections and increase opportunities for the learners to develop skills. You can re-watch the event here. As a regular activity at UEH English Zone, Language Workshops are held once a month and cover a variety of topics that can be helpful to language learners. By learning English, each person can form habits and strengthen their desire to learn, which makes them feel more valuable in today's dynamic integration environment.

The needs towards the conditions in terms of consuming agricultural products in the direction of food safety *Scientific and practical foundation When the market creates negative externalities and market failures, the State has the role in adjusting and overcoming these problems through policies and interventions. In the field of agricultural and food production and consumption, the current problem is that both the market and state management institutions have defects. Some important shortcomings can be pointed out as follows: 1) Information asymmetry between producers and consumers takes place to the disadvantage of consumers when they are uncertain regarding the food safety level of agricultural products that they consume; 2) Low-income consumers have absolutely no opportunity to choose safe food from the traditional distribution channels; 3) Producers cause negative externalities (production does not ensure food safety) and the society must face losses through environmental and health damage; 4) The legal system on food safety is not strict enough to force producers to comply; 5) Production practices that do not ensure food safety have not been appropriately punished. The economic principles allow suggesting a scientific foundation for public sector interventions as follows: 1) The impact of adjusting the behavior of producers and consumers through policies to limit negative externalities of the public sector. Production, processing, circulation, and distribution acts that do not comply with food safety regulations; 2) Creating mechanisms to encourage beneficial behaviors through funding vulnerable people in the early stages; 3) Creating a mechanism to encourage forced integration to form vertical and horizontal linkages to gradually change non-integrated production behavior; 4) Enforcing necessary sanctions to ensure compliance. In reality, up to the present time, agricultural and agricultural trade policies have often been approached from the ‘SUPPLY’ party. The proposed policies and solutions require reorganizing production and mobilizing farmers to produce in accordance with VietGAP standards and meet food safety standards; investment in agricultural extension work, etc. It is necessary to change the way of approaching the problem from the ‘DEMAND’ party. Policies need to focus on building mandatory product standards when put into circulation and distribution on the market. Only goods that meet VietGAP standards and food safety standards can be put into circulation and distribution on the market. In other words, the first thing is to establish mandatory technical fence standards. This approach considers the role of the market from the demand side as a prerequisite and the guide for production from the supply side. *Policy access The proposed policy approach follows the consistent principle as follows: “production must be safe; if it is not safe, do not produce”. Do not accept double standards in the production, processing and consumption of agricultural and food products. In other words, the food safety legal system must be mandatory and should not use an advocacy or incentive approach. Approaching policies from the demand side is to focus on building mandatory product standards when put into circulation and distribution on the market. Only goods that meet standards (for example, VietGAP standards, biosafety regulations) can be put into circulation and distribution on the market. In other words, the first thing is to establish mandatory technical fence standards. All households, production establishments, cooperatives, and enterprises that produce, transport, process, and consume agricultural and food products are required to apply national regulations and standards to achieve satisfactory production. Mandatory standards of the City market combined with mandatory application of product traceability from production facilities, farms, agricultural enterprises and farming households. Recommended Policies *Policy recommendations at State and Ministry levels Recommendation 1: Researching and applying an integrated food safety management model at the national level The Government researches and evaluates a unified model of food safety management through a pilot model of the Food Safety Management Board in Ho Chi Minh City towards proposing policies to maintain or to develop this unified model at the Provinces, Cities and Regional levels. This consolidated model has the advantage of meeting the need for centralized management at one focal point of the government and local authorities, centralizing management throughout the entire agricultural and food supply chain, avoiding segmented fragmentation and division in terms of industry and field. Recommendation 2: The Government researches to legalize the food safety control mechanism at the Regional level and to build a Regional State food safety management institution. Regional-level institutions have not been regulated at administrative decentralization yet. However, it is being possible to decentralize food safety coordination and management at the regional level between localities that need to voluntarily link together. Moreover, it is possible to establish a system of Regional food safety management agencies in accordance with a unified model for food safety management. The Regional linkage mechanism for food safety management allows supply chain management from upstream to downstream, unifying management mechanisms and supply chain control measures, ensuring traceability and meeting requirements related to area planning, uniformly applying standards and supporting measures as well as organizing production, preliminary processing, processing, transportation, storage and distribution of safe products to consumers. Recommendation 3: Unifying agricultural and food production standards and enforcing them in accordance with the roadmap The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Science and Technology research and unify VietGAP standards with Biosafety Production Standards that are applicable to the cultivation, livestock, fisheries and processing industries as a foundation for establishing market standards, ensuring traceability and moving towards mandatory application throughout the country in accordance with an appropriate roadmap.

It allowed students to bridge the gap between their acquired knowledge and a practical understanding of how sustainable and community-based tourism is implemented within the local community. This tour expanded their awareness of how sustainable tourism can benefit communities and facilitated the creation of memorable experiences and connections among the students through engaging activities in Vinh Long. On the second day September 21st , students had the chance to delve deeper into the School of Tourism at UEH and the School of Hospitality at RP. This allowed them to gain a better understanding of the potential and learning opportunities at both institutions, fostering an understanding of the academic environment and educational culture in both Vietnam and Singapore.

These insights helped build a solid knowledge base for participating students. The program also emphasized the application of Design Thinking tools in sustainable tourism development projects, enabling students to understand problem-solving approaches and create innovative solutions. Finally, participants engaged in team-building games using tools like user journey mapping, the crazy 8s, and mind map sketching to exchange ideas about sustainable tourism development. This provided an exciting opportunity to share ideas and foster relationships among students from both institutions and countries. The "RP - UEH International Exchange Workshop" created exciting and valuable experiences for all participants. The program offered a unique opportunity for international and Vietnamese students to learn from each other and share knowledge about sustainable tourism, community-based tourism, and tourism project management. The organizing committee hopes that the results and knowledge gained will be applied to contribute to the development of sustainable tourism in both Vietnam and Singapore. The relationships formed during the program will continue to develop, opening up new opportunities for collaboration in the future.

What drives UEH students to learn English and are there any differences between first- and second-year students’ motivation? This paper investigates the learning motivation of Vietnamese economics-related majors studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL), utilizing Dornyei’s (2005) L2 motivational self-system as the theoretical framework. The study endeavors to provide a comprehensive review on students’ motivation to learn English. The Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, the students’ attitudes together with their efforts in English learning were investigated, and key motivational factors, i.e. the roles of teachers, peers, school and parents, were identified. This research provides some insights into the students’ motivation and offers recommendations for enhancing the motivation of EFL learners in a Vietnamese tertiary context. Motivation in SLA Motivation is one of the key factors that influence the success of language learning. Gardner (1985) defines language learning motivation as “the extent to which the individual works or strives to learn the language because of a desire to do so and the satisfaction experienced in this activity” (p.10). Rost (2006) defines motivation as an orientation toward a goal. Motivation provides a source of energy which is responsible for why learners decide to make an effort, how long they are willing to sustain an activity, how hard they are going to pursue it, and how connected they feel to the activity. Lumsden (1994) states that student motivation is students’ desire to participate in learning. In this study, students’ efforts to learn the target language are considered to be motivation and it plays an important role in learning English. The L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) According to Dörnyei (2005, 2009) the L2MSS consists of three main components: the ideal L2 Self, the ought-to L2 Self, and the L2 learning experience. The ideal L2 Self refers to the state one would ideally like to reach, thus representing one’s own hopes, aspirations, and goals in learning the L2. The ought-to L2 Self, on the other hand, represents the L2 learner’s perceived duties, obligations and responsibilities in learning the L2. On a different aspect, the L2 learning experience is associated with the L2 learner’s experience from one’s failures and successes in learning the L2 in the past and the immediate learning environment; and is influenced by situation-specific aspects such as the teacher, the curriculum, and peers. As stated by Dörnyei (2005, 2009), students’ attitudes regarding their learning illustrate the L2 learning experience and the L2MSS. The L2MSS has been widely used as the theoretical framework for over 400 publications around the world and validated in a range of EFL contexts in different countries such as Chile, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Iran in various studies of Al-Shehri (2009), Csizér&Kormos (2009), Papi (2010), Ryan (2009), Taguchi et al. (2009), etc. Objectives & Research questions The research aims to: 1. compare the motivational self-system for learning English (Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and L2 learning attitudes) between first-year and second-year students. 2. compare the levels of effort to learn English between the two groups. 3. investigate the correlations between students’ effort and the three dimensions of the motivational self-system. 4. propose some implications for the stakeholders to enhance students’ motivation to learn English. The research attempts to give a comparison of the first-year and second-year students’ motivation in order to determine if there are any differences in students’ motivation after one year of studying in a tertiary environment. The following research questions guide the study: RQ1: Are there any differences in the L2 motivational self-system (Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and L2 learning attitudes) between the first-year and second-year students? RQ2: Are there any differences in the effort to learn English between the two groups? RQ3: Are there any correlations between the students’ effort and the three dimensions in the motivational self-system (Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and L2 learning attitudes)? RQ4: What do students expect the stakeholders to do in order to promote their motivation to learn English? Research instruments To collect the data for the study, a questionnaire was designed in Google form and included 5 parts: 1. Demographic information; 2. Motivation for learning English; 3. Attitudes; 4. Effort; 5. Factors affecting motivation to learn English. The demographic part includes information on gender, age, English module, and majors. Parts 2 to 4 consist of 24 items taken from Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) questionnaire, which investigate four dimensions: the Ideal L2 Self, the Ought-to L2 Self, attitudes, and effort. Each dimension is evaluated with a 6 six-point Likert scale. To avoid the misunderstanding of the L2, the questionnaire was translated into Vietnamese. An open-ended section is added with ten questions to probe further into the students’ motivational orientations, influencing factors such as teachers, friends, administrators, community, learning materials, and facilities, and their expectations for the stakeholders. The focus group interview with nine questions to triangle and delve deeper into the results of the questionnaire. Convenience sampling was used. The items were coded as follows: the Ideal L2 Self (items1-6) as I1-6, the Ought-to L2 Self (items 7-12) as O1-6, learning attitudes (items 13-18) as A1-6, and students’ effort (items 19-24) as E1-6. Results and discussion 250 first-year students and 101 second-year students agreed to join the survey and responded to the survey. However, datasets were screened for outliers. The first-year and second-year students’ responses, totaling 236 and 99 respectively, were analyzed. Because there was quite a limited number of Module 4 English classes, the number of second-year respondents was modest. The participants in both groups come from all 14 departments at one University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam including Accounting, Maths - Statistics, Business Information Technology, Law, State Management, Tourism, Economics, Administration, International Business - Marketing, Finance, Public Finance, and Banking. RQ1: Are there any differences in the L2 motivational self-system (Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and learning attitudes) between the first-year and second-year students? Table 1.

The comparison of the mean scores of the two groups also indicates that there was no significant difference (sig.>0.05). The findings of learning attitudes of the two groups are presented in Table 3 below. Table 3.

In addition, the comparison of the mean scores of both groups also reveals that there was no significant difference between these two groups regarding their learning attitudes (sig.>0.05). RQ2: Are there any differences in the motivational intensity (effort) to learn English between the two groups? Both groups were found to have a relatively high level of effort in learning English (level 5 over 6) and no significant difference was found between the two groups. RQ3: Are there any correlations between the students’ effort and the three dimensions in the motivational Self-system (Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and L2 learning attitude)? In terms of correlation, the three variables of the first-year and second-year students’ motivational Self-system are significantly correlated with their motivational intensity with a score of p<0.01. Among the three variables of the motivational Self-system, the L2 learning experience of first-year students (coded as A) and the Ideal L2 Self (coded as I) are seen to be highly correlated with their motivational intensity (r=.613 and r=.488 respectively for the first-year students and r=.585 and r=.613 respectively for the second-year students) and Ought-to L2 Self is claimed to have the lowest correlation with the motivational intensity (r=.264 and r=.344 respectively for the first- and second-year students). RQ4: The stakeholders’ roles and students’ expectations Regarding the factors influencing the students’ motivation, 80% of students in both groups acknowledged that their teachers had an impact on their motivation. They emphasized the value of the instructors’ enthusiasm, creative teaching strategies, and an exciting and supporting learning environment. Many students stressed that teachers should inspire students to learn. As a result, the students placed the instructors together with their teaching methods first, followed by social community in the ranking of the elements that have the greatest influence on their motivation. The instructors with their teaching methods were also the aspect that the students (83% and 80%) like the most. The facilities came in second (78% and 70%). Concerning the role of friends, both groups (76% and &77%) agreed that friends had an influence on their motivation due to peer pressure and mutual help. With respect to parents’ assistance, more than half of the students (64% and 58%) stated that their parents support them in learning English by paying their tuition fees, providing good conditions and encouraging them to learn. As far as the role of the university is concerned, both groups (90% and 80%) said that the university supports them well in learning English. They appreciated the university for creating a good environment for them to learn English with modern facilities, good lecturers, specialized documents in English, many English clubs and contests. However, some students voiced concerns regarding some outdated course materials, a mismatch between instructional materials and tests, and some tough lecturers. The focus group interview results reinforced the aforementioned findings. Please refer to the full paper “Motivation of EFL Vietnamese Students in Economics-related Majors” HERE.

Professor Goldin has uncovered key drivers of gender differences in the labour market. This award reminds us about a serious social issue: gender inequality. Meanwhile, climate change and global warming are major challenges worldwide, which causing several consequences on the economy and society. This article raises a concern that natural threats might influence gender inequality significantly through empirical evidence from our recent study. Therefore, we call for more efforts and attention from both governments and scholars in the backdrop of climate change and global warming. Gender equality is emphasized as an important goal (No. 5) in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN 2020). According to the United Nations (UN), our World seems to derail from the track to achieve  gender equality by 2030. For example, the US estimates that it could take 140 years from now to achieve equal representative in leadership in the workplace. There have been several discussions and debates over the causes of this problem. From theoretical points, the literature emphasizes that main determinants of gender inequality are tradition, culture, social norms, and institutions (Nguyen 2022). Recent studies suggest that globalization (Chen et al. 2013) or uncertainty (Nguyen 2022) might be causes of gender inequality. However, there are still lacking of attention toward the effect of climate change. Following a recent report by IPCC (2021), natural disasters have been occurring worldwide with increasing frequency in recent decades. Natural risks and hazards would cause severe social and economic losses. Natural hazards and their impacts would be more severe in developing countries such as Vietnam, whereas coping and adapting capacities are still limited. Climate change and potential consequences on gender inequality A substantial body of literature has extensively documented the consequences of natural disasters on social and economic development in relation to the significant human and economic losses incurred. Paudel and Ryu (2018) found that the 1988 earthquake in Nepal caused a significant loss of human capital. In Argentina, González et al. (2021) concluded that natural disasters reduced human capital significantly. Several previous studies have posited that the influences of uncertainty are likely to be gender-asymmetrical. Kristal and Yaish (2020) revealed that uncertainty increased gender inequality in the US and Israel, respectively. In addition, women usually receive lower salaries than men due to gender inequality in employment (Kennedy et al. 2017). Consequently, the adverse effects stemming from heightened uncertainty caused by natural hazards on economic activities, particularly in terms of employment, may prompt or incentivize women to withdraw from their occupations in order to assume familial responsibilities. Notwithstanding, the threats of natural hazards carry significant implications for a potential magnitude of losses resulting from natural disasters, which may motivate women to find alternative income sources to enhance family security. Therefore, women may engage in self-employment when they leave waged and salaried jobs, as it enables them to fulfill many objectives, including attending to familial responsibilities while also securing an additional source of income. The impact of natural threats on gender inequality in employment may force women to defer or abandon their pursuit of higher education at tertiary level to mitigate financial burdens and allocate additional time towards familial responsibilities. For example, Glick and Sahn (2000) studied in West African countries concluded that the income status of the family is an important driver for the schooling of girls, but not boys. Previous studies have demonstrated that natural threats have a detrimental impact on the health status of both women and men. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that women may experience more significant negative impacts on their health compared to men as a result of natural risks. For instance, Nkalu and Edeme (2019) found that environmental hazards had a substantial negative impact on life expectancy in Nigeria from 1960 to 2017. As discussed, natural threats can cause stronger gender inequality in employment, as women may opt to leave their paid positions in order to fulfill caregiving responsibilities for their family members. As a result, natural threats may impact on women’s health status more strongly than on men. According to prevailing knowledge, it is anticipated that gender inequality in terms of rights will be exacerbated by environmental threats. This is due to the adverse effects that natural threats have on women's employment, education, and health. As such, it can be argued that women's social, economic, and political positions may be negatively impacted by natural threats. Climate risks and gender inequality: Empirical evidence from 130 countries To further show the consequence of climate change on gender inequality, our recent study (see Nguyen and Nguyen (2023)) has carried out empirical analysis for the impact of climate risk on gender inequality in four aspects: employment, education, health, and right for a sample of 130 countries from 2011 to 2019. In our study, several proxies have been used to proxy for gender inequality such as the ratio of female waged and salaried workers (% of female employment) to male waged and salaried workers (% of male employment), the ratio of life expectancy at birth of females (years) to life expectancy at birth of males (years), the gender parity index of school enrollment at primary level, the gender parity index of school enrollment at tertiary level, and the Women Business and the Law Index Score (scale 1-100). The empirical findings have shown that climate change might exert significant consequences on gender inequality. The study finds that increases in natural threats are likely to reduce the waged and salaried employment of women more than that of men while increasing self-employment more among women than among men. Natural threats reduce gender equality in education. In contrast, there are positive effects of natural threats on the ratios of female/male life expectancy and female/male survival to age 65 and natural threats appear to have significant positive effects on women’s rights indices. The urgent need for gender-based policies under climate change The findings of this study revoke appropriate policies and programs to support women who move from waged and salaried jobs to self-employment under climate change. Policies and programs supporting women in self-employment would help affected women maintain their quality of life and also help their community. Following this strategy, one of the successful policy tools is micro-finance programs to support women in self-employment, which could be adopted by other countries, especially in low-income countries. The findings of this study also recommend that policymakers should pay more attention to education for women in conditions involving increased natural threats. The study has provided evidence of the negative impacts of natural threats on gender equality in education. Gender inequality in education can lead to long-term gender issues in employment, health, and rights(Chang and England 2011). Governments must develop appropriate policies to support girls and women in education during difficult times such as the occurrence of natural hazards.

A language workshop on "Fostering effective communication in multicultural business settings" was held on September 29, 2023, to assist UEH students in developing their cross-cultural abilities to adapt to an international workplace. As part of the monthly activities with many practical topics to help learners learn languages, UEH English Zone, in collaboration with the School of Foreign Languages, organised a workshop on "Fostering Effective Communication in Multicultural Business Settings." The event featured Mr. Andries Dreyer, an expert with over 15 years of experience in travel, tourism, and hospitality. With a focus on communicating effectively in a multicultural business environment, Mr. Andries Dreyer presented techniques for conveying through pronunciation, emphasis, and various methods to enhance effective communication. He also emphasised the importance of showing respect for individuals from different cultural backgrounds in the workplace. Additionally, the speaker pointed out differences in Vietnamese communication compared to other countries. For example, Vietnamese value indirect and subtle communication, including non-verbal signals like nodding and smiling, to maintain harmony in relationships. In contrast, South Africans have a more direct communication style, often speaking confidently and addressing issues directly. The speaker also mentions how culture influences how we perceive and respond to messages since cultural values, beliefs, and communication styles shape our worldview. People from different cultural backgrounds may understand and interpret the same message differently. September's topic "Fostering Effective Communication in Multicultural Business Settings" with a joyful atmosphere, full of learning spirit, and active contributions from attendees, has left many discussions when highlighting the differences in communication among various cultures and how to navigate a multicultural environment. UEH English Zone was founded in B2 Park, UEH Nguyen Tri Phuong, to create an English learning environment, by organizing weekly and monthly talks, board games, language workshops, music shows... in English.

V-Med 2023 is a competition on commercial mediation in Vietnamese with a competition model for practicing mediation sessions. The contest creates conditions for candidates to cultivate, supplement their knowledge and improve their mediation skills. In addition, V-Med 2023 offers a series of skills training workshops, discussions on commercial mediation and many other activities on Fanpage V-Med - Vietnam Mediation Moot. The contest took place in the context of the trend of resolving civil and commercial disputes by mediation, which is becoming popular in the world because of the many advantages of this method, listed as time, cost, and preserving relationships and security level. Mediation is considered a method of supporting business, commercial and economic development. This is a method of resolving international disputes that overcome cultural and jurisdictional barriers. According to the provisions of Decree 22/2017/ND-CP of the Government on commercial mediation, if there is any dispute arising from commercial activities or dispute with a party having commercial activities and these parties choose Mediation to resolve disputes, they can rely on commercial mediation activities. Continuing the success from the previous seasons, V-Med 2023 welcomeed 106 teams from 28 different universities nationwide. The competition took place from July 2023 to September 25, 2023, including activities listed as a training workshop on knowledge and skills about mediation, 02 competition stages and scientific discussions. Participating in this year's competition, in addition to the participation of the contestants, V-Med 2023 was honored to welcome mediation experts with many years of experience as follows: Mr. Nguyen Hung Quang, lawyer - Chairman of Vietnam International Commercial Mediation Center, Head of NHQuang & Associates law office; Mr. Luong Van Ly, lawyer - Head of VICMC Foreign Affairs Department; Assoc.

More than 300 students participated in the discussions and exchanged ideas on sustainable development and DE&I culture in the workplace. Does everyone have biases? There are over 150 different kinds of bias, Ms. Ngo Thi Nam Phuong, senior organization development manager for Carlsberg Vietnam, informed the audience. So how does one overcome prejudice, adjust, and integrate successfully in such diverse and multifaceted environments, especially as a recent graduate? More than 300 students can provide thoughtful responses to these inquiries and are aware that prejudice exists. We must comprehend, carefully consider, empathize with, and comprehend the circumstances and feelings of others. The events provide students with knowledge and communication skills to help them adapt and develop in any working environment. In today's living and working environments, it is crucial to comprehend the diversity of cultural and community groups. Also contributing to the discussion were Ms. Nam Phuong, Mr. Le Hoang Tuan, Senior Total Reward Manager, and Ms. Nguyen Minh Anh, Senior Organization Development Specialist. This will make it simpler to picture the workplace from a business manager's perspective and mentally and firmly prepare for the work that lies ahead. Students who participated in the activity gained useful skills to strengthen and boost their confidence in the multiracial and multinational workplace. By offering a place for conversation and companionship through the program, the school helps students broaden their horizons of thought, develop empathy for others, and respect the value of multiculturalism. Encourage students to take action after that and follow the directive to become global citizens and act for sustainable development.

In the heart of autumn, when the moon was the brightest and fullest, the participants immersed themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the event and shared their understanding of different values, beliefs and priorities. In a world where cultural diversity is celebrated, "Dreamers under the Moon" emerged as a remarkable cultural connection event that spotlights the beauty of traditional festivals. Moon Festival or Mid Autumn Festival is widely celebrated in East and Southeast Asia countries such as Taiwan, Singapore,Viet Nam, and so on. Even though the Mid-autumn Festival originated in China and is celebrated in many Asian countries, each has its own traditions and unique traits. For this reason, the cultural connection “Dreamers under the Moon” is held to learn more about the characteristics of the indigenous culture of the countries. During the event, the participants were able to learn about the way Vietnamese people celebrate the Mid Autumn festival and delve deeper into one of the most famous legends in Vietnamese culture - Chu Cuoi and the Banyan tree through a fascinating performance of the EZ crew. Such a play has made the folklore come alive on stage and  transferred a meaningful message of enduring love and togetherness. One of the highlights of the event was the series of interactive workshops where the participants can transform themselves into craftsmen, bakers, or artists. We had an explosive DIY session with unforgettable activities like decorating lanterns with many fantastic ideas, painting masks, and crafting adorable mini Vietnamese Conical Hats. All the items created have special spiritual values and are perfect as souvenirs or gifts for friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Additionally, we also savored the unique Phuc Linh cakes of the Mid-Autumn season, which we made ourselves! These workshops not only showcased the Vietnamese iconic Mid Autumn symbols but also provided a hands-on experience for attendees to appreciate other cultures on a personal level. And of course, what gathering would be complete without a tea party, right? We enjoyed the soothing flavors of hot tea paired with delicious mooncakes, each with its own unique taste. The key element of the event came where all the attendees gathered together with their products on hand. We came together for the most appealing tradition of the Mid Autumn Festival - the lantern parade. The gentle glow of the full moon along with the shining light from the  lanterns had made the enchanting night more beautiful than ever. The Cultural Connection: Dreamers under the moon was a delightful celebration that showcased the beauty of unity and diversity. As the moon illuminated the night sky, so did this event enlighten the hearts and minds of attendees, leaving a lasting impact and a call for more celebrations that unite cultures and bring communities closer.

It presents its 2023 edition on 28 – 29 September 2023 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with the main theme “Accelerating inclusive green transition in developing countries”. This prestigious assembly garnered widespread acclaim, featuring an impressive lineup of 118 research papers presented across 27 parallel sessions, with enthusiastic participation from a diverse array of international experts and scholars hailing from countries such as Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and beyond. During the plenary sessions, distinguished keynote speakers made invaluable contributions by shedding light on pivotal subjects: Prof. Almas Heshmati: Jönköping University, Sweden Topic: Nonlinear Dynamic Gravity Model of Bilateral Trade with Flexible Adjustment Speed Prof. Robert Costanza: Professor of Ecological Economics at the Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) at University College London (UCL). Topic: Addicted to Growth: Societal Therapy for a Sustainable Wellbeing Future Dr. Ermal Frasheri: Senior Fellow Researcher at Center for International Development's Growth Lab – Havard Law School Topic: Extent and Constraint of Using Law as an Agent of Change in Creating a Circular Economy Discussion sessions in economics, public finance, law, government, and social science focused on the green transition in developing countries. The aim of ELG2023 is to provide a forum for academics and professionals to share research findings, experiences and knowledge for the economic, legal, and government aspects of inclusive green transition, as well as the potential social, environmental, and economic impacts of such transitions. The green economy has been designated as the keystone of developing countries' development strategies. The green transition helps to effectively use natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change, contribute to poverty alleviation, and generate a driving force to encourage economic progress toward sustainability. The green transition benefits the community while also encouraging economic development. However, the green transitions requires investments in technology and infrastructure. As a result, it is critical to explore the potential and problems connected with low-carbon transitions, investment, and economic finance. Furthermore, the green transition involves the development of laws and legal frameworks that promote sustainable investment activities. Laws and regulations promote the green transition by establishing standards for decarbonization and enhancing governance capacity toward long-term development. After the conference, high-quality papers were awarded and introduced to publish in editied book "Circular Economy in South and Southeast Asia" or Handbook for Measuring, Applying and Evaluating Circular Economy in South and Southeast Asia. The publication process includes asking for submission of paper from the conference, review process, revision and prepare to publish (Hand)Book in April-May 2024. The book/Handbook are aimed to be published in the newly launched Springer book series ‘Frontiers in South and Southeast Asian Development Research’, published by Springer. The book series also welcomes submission of book proposals or complete manuscripts.

Therefore, the intra-regional linkage between Provinces and Cities in the production and consumption of agricultural and food products to ensure food safety is extremely necessary to protect the health of tens of millions of future residents and in the world. From the current situation of organizing food production that meets safety standards as well as the difficult and outstanding problems in the locality, the author group has conducted research and analysis to propose management policies and solutions to increase supply and market-stabilization supply in the Provinces and Cities of the Southern Key Economic Zone. Part 1 of this article is to introduce the current status of food production organizations that meet safety standards. The geographical features in Ho Chi Minh City For many years, Ho Chi Minh City has been the largest urban area in the country, contributing greatly to GDP and the national budget with more than 14 million residents, has tried to build a retail system and a system of food-supply wholesaler businesses, wholesale markets, building agricultural and food supply chains and so on to develop a commercial system to meet people’s consumption needs and to improve food safety management. The role of modern distribution systems and wholesale markets is indispensable in terms of the connection between producing-supply and consumption locations. In Ho Chi Minh City and other Provinces, modern distribution systems are developing strongly and partly ensure food safety regulations. On the other hand, more than 70% of agricultural products distributed through traditional commercial channels, which are people’ markets, have not been strictly controlled in terms of food safety. Ho Chi Minh City and large urban areas in the Region are the main agricultural and food consumption markets of Southern Provinces/Cities, especially the Provinces/Cities in the Southern Key Economic Region. Therefore, the intra-regional linkages among Provinces and Cities in the Southern Key Economic Region regarding the production and the consumption of agricultural and food products that ensure food safety are extremely urgent to protect the health of tens of millions of future residents and generations. Currently, the connection at the regional level concerning the supply and the trade of safe food is facing many difficulties: there has been no specific legal mechanism while management, in accordance with the administrative boundaries, has been a dividing factor interrupting the food supply chain towards safe producing and consumption. Therefore, building the linked models of food production and consumption that meet food safety standards between Ho Chi Minh City, the consumer market and other Provinces and Cities of the Southern Key Economic Region as one production and processing location as well as finding a regional linkage mechanism to resolve the link between production and consumption meeting food safety standards between Ho Chi Minh City as one large urban and agricultural production area in the Southern Key Economic Region is totally crucial. The situation regarding organizing food production meeting safety standards and issues in the Southern Key Economic Region * Guidelines and Policies from local Government and food safety management activities being implemented in localities in the Region Currently, Ho Chi Minh City is piloting an integrated food safety management model with the focal point being the City Food Safety Management Board. On the other hand, other Cities have been organizing food safety management in accordance with one distributed model among provincial management agencies of the three sectors of agriculture, health and industry and trade, in which health sector is the focal point. The governments of Provinces and Cities in the Southern Key Economic Region are very interested in organizing production and food safety management regarding local agricultural and food products. State management agencies on agriculture and food safety in Provinces and Cities, currently, are mainly applying production management in accordance with biosafety production standards for crop and livestock products because of the legal mandatory requirements together with the supportive policies depending on local resources. Meanwhile, production in accordance with VietGAP standards is not mandatory and only depends on the requirements of the consumer market channel. The Provinces often support the implementation of livestock and crop projects in accordance with safety standards as well as issue certificates to households and farms that comply with those standards. Most Provinces encourage farmers to join Cooperative Units to manage safe food production and to receive collective support as well as only provide funding for implementation and initial VietGAP certification to beneficiary units, mainly agricultural Cooperatives. Currently, producers can choose either to produce in accordance with biosafety production standards or VietGAP standards or produce without any regulations or standards because it is not completely demanding. Therefore, the majority of households and small production facilities often do not meet the regulations or the standards and distribute products through traditional channels while large-scale farms and agricultural enterprises apply these standards in accordance with the requirements of modern distribution channels. Managing agricultural materials in the provinces is a difficult problem. The Province does not have the authority to license the production and circulation of agricultural chemicals but must manage the business and the distribution. Moreover, pesticide labeling concerning many different pests and crops causes difficulties for specialized management agencies upon checking the chemical use by producers. In addition, the fact that the authority of specialized inspectors is limited causes certain difficulties towards organizing interdisciplinary inspections. Tracing the origin of meat products in wholesale markets cannot ensure food safety yet as it can only be traced from collectors to slaughters besides the distribution to wholesale markets. In particular, product traceability is much more difficult as pre-slaughter livestock products come from unidentified different Provinces and Cities. This origin traceability situation is similar to that of other meat, livestock, poultry products and vegetables. Certifying related to origin, brands, collective and individual labels as well as providing application solutions for product traceability, barcodes and QR codes for products that meet standards in accordance with manufacturers’ requirements is being carried out locally but has not been applied widely yet. Provinces and Cities in the Southern Key Economic Region are not closely linked with each other upon developing production plans as well as the information regarding the market and the market demand to meet the balance of supply and demand. In addition, the fact that the market information system for markets with large consumption demand for agricultural and food products like Ho Chi Minh City has not been built yet makes the production plan development in terms of the localities in the Region unable to connect with the market in a proactive way. The difficulty in coordinating food safety management between consuming localities and producing localities is another barrier towards consuming agricultural products. First, the food safety management systems between production and consumption localities are not unified. Differences in management procedures listed as the production locality certifying standards; nevertheless, the consuming locality does not recognize this factor, what is more, other additional management barriers disrupt the distribution channel or create additional barriers to entry. *Producers, farmer households, producing facilities, Cooperatives and agricultural enterprises All Provinces have the tendency to evaluate that the majority of farmers have enough knowledge to implement VietGAP, that they are well-aware of safe food production, and are willing to apply; on the other hand, they have not applied for various reasons. Other surveys on other producing households also identified similar results. In terms of production, recording the production process and agricultural material classifications in production logs and forms in accordance with VietGAP is complicated for farmers while production follows biosafety standards. This recording is not required. Application cost is also a financial barrier despite not being a big sum; actually, it is a big issue for small farmers. In terms of consumption, VietGAP products cannot be distinguished from those products produced in accordance with the normal processes on the traditional market. VietGAP products do not have different prices to compensate for material costs and management costs incurred during implementation, causing financial losses for producers. In modern distribution channels, supermarkets only purchase a portion of VietGAP products (approximately 20%). The remaining farmers have to consume through normal commercial channels and do not differentiate products in terms of type and price. Producers have difficulty selling products that do not enter modern distribution channels, receive risks and financial losses; therefore, they do not plan to apply VietGAP. On the other hand, the dependence of small farmers on financial supplies from the trader system is one more barrier regarding applying food safety regulations and standards. In this case, the trader system plays a decisive role in the success or the failure of applying food safety regulations and standards. Only when retail channels are required to apply food safety standards towards products can the trader system change their behavior. In some localities, the relationships with vegetable farmers are currently being formed in the form of outsourcing to traders, similar to that in the broiler chicken raising industry. Therefore, farmers do not pay attention to safe production; actually, they depend entirely on the farming methods and agricultural chemicals that traders provide and request them to apply. VietGAP products do not have different prices to compensate for material costs and management costs incurred during implementation, causing financial losses for producers. Collected photos What is more, producers’ psychological barriers, mainly agricultural households, limit the expansion of farming scale in accordance with VietGAP standards. Farmers often pay more attention to short-term benefits rather than long-term and sustainable benefits. In terms of cooperatives, participating members, nevertheless, have not recognized the actual benefits that cooperative production brings. *Difficulties in terms of the production organization system As the farmers’ production scale is small and fragmented, the cost of applying VietGAP standards (training, application, certification, re-certification) for individuals and households is relatively high and limits the number of those applying these standards. This leads to the consequence that producers are not eligible enough to apply traceability in accordance with food safety standards. In terms of livestock and poultry farming, applying biosafety farming standards and VietGAP standards is more effective upon producing on a large scale. Farms or agricultural businesses possess capital and market advantages for qualified investments. However, households raising livestock and poultry on a small scale, especially those raising semi-concentrated chickens listed as backyard chickens and free-range ducks, often do not have enough capital and market conditions to invest successfully in accordance with the required standards. *Difficulties regarding safe consumption of agricultural products Recent studies on the consumer party identify one clear differentiation. A segment of high-income consumers desires and absolutely pay attention to safe consumption of agricultural products. Meanwhile, the majority of consumers with average and low incomes have the desire but have to buy agricultural products in the traditional distribution system of retail markets. The modern distribution system has limited consumption capacity related to agricultural and food products because the traditional market system are existing in parallel; consequently, this distribution can meet approximately 20% of the actual demand. Therefore, the modern distribution system cannot purchase 100% of the output of production units that meet VietGAP standards. Manufacturers are forced to sell outstanding VietGAP products into traditional distribution channels regardless of product and price. This leads to the fact that manufacturers gradually abandon or reduce farming areas in accordance with VietGAP. Local government support for households or Cooperatives in increasing VietGAP area contributes to enhancing competitive pressure towards bringing goods into the modern distribution system, increasing opportunities for new entrants while reducing the opportunity of those who have sold goods to the distribution system. On the other hand, the sunk costs of cooperatives or producers in general upon their desire in distributing goods into modern distribution channels is another important financial barrier. For most producers, the purchasing price of VietGAP and GlobalGAP products and the cost of implementing management to ensure product traceability in modern distribution channels are not reasonable compared to their production costs. Meanwhile, traditional consumption channels, in terms of price, do not differentiate between VietGAP products and regular products. In addition, farmers and producers, in general, have not accepted the method of purchasing and paying for some modern consumption channels, listed as buying in advance, paying later in accordance with the quality of agricultural products and paying via bank account. These purchasing and payment methods are not consistent with farmers’ wishes. Simple consumption habits and lack of attention towards food safety are also one more difficulty regarding safe product consumption. The habit of consuming ‘hot meat’ of Vietnamese consumers has resulted in the meat supply chain that is not equipped with the cold storage system to preserve meat, causing difficulties for the meat value chain once being stored to control food safety and to regulate prices.

This decision places UEH  among 7 higher education institutions in Vietnam that operate in accordance with the model of a “multi-disciplinary and multi-major university” in alignment with the global system of advanced universities. This represents a significant developmental step, built upon nearly five decades of accumulated endogenous capacity. It aligns with the practical requirements in Vietnam and the development trend in university development. This foundation relies on the appropriate utilization of  internal resources, and the simultaneous establishment of cooperative relationships with domestic and international partners. The ultimate goal is to fulfill  the mission, vision and orientation that have been consistently and specifically shaped at each stage of UEH’s journey. In addition to other “national universities” and “regional universities”, UEH will emerge as the next university to evolve into a “multi-disciplinary and multi-major university”. This model aligns with the structure of leading universities worldwide, incorporating 3 levels of governance: the University level, the College level, and Branch and Faculty/Institute level (Faculty/ Institution). Notably, graduates from various training majors at different levels will have the opportunity to receive diplomas bearing the prestigious University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - UEH Brand. This mechanism fosters a strong  connection between UEH’s University level and UEH-member Colleges/Branches; as well as between the current UEH students and alumni from all generations. It reinforces UEH’s prominent position and its enduring reputation. “In accordance with the statistics from the Top 1000 Universities in the QS World Best University rankings, up to 96% are classified as multi-disciplinary and multi-major Universities. Therefore, I believe that upgrading the model to a multi-disciplinary and multi-major University is the foundation for elevating UEH, in particular, and the Vietnamese educational system, in general, to  the international level”, asserts Professor. Su Dinh Thanh, UEH President. A 50-year development journey fueled by endogenous capacity The transition from a 'mono-discipline and mono-major university' to a 'multi-disciplinary and multi-major university' in the UEH governance model represents an essential developmental stride, aligning with the practical context in Vietnam and global trends. What makes this transition particularly noteworthy is that it draws upon the internal capacity accumulated by UEH over nearly 50 years of formation and development.. “The “mono-discipline, mono-major University” model was born in Vietnam in the years following the country’s reunification, providing timely and highly-specialized human resources to support the country’s reconstruction efforts. However, in today’s landscape of integration, the digital era, and the global challenges, the evolution towards the “multi-disciplinary University” model has become inevitable. This evolution prioritizes equipping individuals with multi-disciplinary and multi-major professional knowledge, aimed at addressing contemporary issues and acting for sustainable development. We would like to underscore that this transition prepresents a step forward in enhancing internal capabilities and ‘quality’, rather than merely a name change to “UEH University”. We hold a strongly believe that UEH is poised for a prosperous future”, emphasized Professor. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council. With the aim of officially becoming a multi-disciplinary and multi-major university, UEH has undergone a lengthy and systematic preparation process, yielding remarkable results as follows: Thanks to its current jurisdiction system and the rich tradition of a key National Public University, UEH has always been dynamic, pioneering innovation, and actively pursuing international integration. With a well-structured development strategy that involves persistent steps and the collective efforts of the entire UEH community, UEH has, to date, garnered the consensus of the Ministry of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, as well as various Ministries and Sectors. Consequently, it has been officially approved by the Prime Minister to transition from a 'mono-disciplinary, mono-major university' to a 'multi-disciplinary, multi-major university'. The Practical Value of a Multi-disciplinary University Model With inherent achievements in the fields of Business, Management, Economics, Law, and Language, the mission of upgrading the management and operational model to a 'multi-disciplinary, multi-major university' implies that UEH will develop and expand new majors, especially in Computer Science, Technology, and Design, emphasizing practical applications. In other words, UEH's training and research activities will have an 'interdisciplinary' orientation, and international cooperation and community engagement will be pursued in a practical direction. These initiatives will be implemented by UEH Member Colleges and Branches under the direct guidance and management of the UEH University level, adhering to the principles of UEH's inherent quality. Furthermore, the UEH brand names, which have become familiar to the UEH community, especially since the restructuring period (2021 to the present), will now be officially recognized. Notably, the name 'University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City' will be featured on graduation diplomas at all levels and systems. As a result, the value of UEH degree quality and the pride associated with the UEH brand will be upheld and further developed. This represents a pivotal aspect that unites officials, learners, and alumni of UEH Member Colleges/Branches into a cohesive entity, fostering the sustainable development of the multi-disciplinary and multi-major UEH model. Pre-restructuring Post-restructuring Common name: UEH Vietnamese name: Trường Đại học Kinh tế TP. Hồ Chí Minh English name: University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City Common names: UEH, Đại học UEH, UEH University Vietnamese name: Đại học Kinh tế TP. Hồ Chí Minh English name: University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City The transformation of the conventional UEH model into a multi-disciplinary and multi-major university is a significant milestone in UEH's nearly 50-year development journey. It underscores UEH's comprehensive growth within the Vietnamese higher education system and alignment with international trends. This step brings UEH closer to our 2030 goal: becoming a multidisciplinary university with a strong academic reputation and sustainability in the Asian region.

Every evening, you can do a grammar exercise on the Duolingo app or listen to a book for a short time before going to bed. This regularity in learning helps you master the language over time. Active interaction: Don't passively watch or read. Instead, completing assignments, taking tests and participating in discussions if there are any. For example: Enroll in online courses on Coursera or edX to learn about English style, writing, and reading comprehension skills. Additionally, proactively find English-learning friends on apps like Tandem or HelloTalk and interact with them via chat or video calls to improve your speaking and listening skills. Tracking progress: Many AI-powered platforms offer progress tracking. Don't forget to apply this ability to work and monitor your progress regularly to identify areas that need improvements. For example: Use an AI-powered learning app or learning website to track your progress in economics courses. For example, if you're taking an online course on Coursera, you can track your progress through a progress chart. This helps you see how many lectures, exercises, and tests you have completed. For foreign languages, use language learning apps like Duolingo or Babbel, which provide dashboards that track your progress. You can see how much vocabulary you've learned, how many exercises you've completed, and your scores on tests. If you're interested in design, take online graphic design courses to master graphic design skills and use tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Experiment and exploration: Don't hesitate to explore different apps and websites to find the ones that best suit your learning style and interests. For example, you can start with learning basic programming through online courses on Codecademy or edX. Move on to learning specific programming languages like Python, JavaScript, or Java. For data analytics, you can learn to master data analytics skills by participating in online data science courses on Coursera or edX. Learn how to use tools like Jupyter Notebook and pandas to work with data. Remember that while AI-powered apps and websites are valuable tools for learning, being disciplined in maintaining regularity and proactive engagement with your learning material is an indispensable requirement. To recap, DSA would like to wish all students great success in their studies and hope that the above article will help you gain a more detailed perspective on the facilitative role of AI in making learning processes more effective.

With the message "Time for Go Green" of 2023, UEH wants to spread the habit of green life that is good for health and the environment to UEHers. Reduce: One of the problems of 21st-century society is the resistance to a fast and convenient consumer culture. There are so many products we use just once, throw them in the waste bin, and send them to the landfill, which implies that the problem is not about buying products, but about learning how to reduce wasteful consumption at home, at work, and at school to create a greener, cleaner and more beautiful environment. UEH wishes to proactively empower UEHer to take action to become green citizens through the practice of Reduce - the first R in the 3R practice principle to move forward together to practice a green lifestyle. Reuse: Schools are one of the places that create a large amount of waste. Recognizing that, UEH has applied the second R in the 3R practice principle of Reuse to reduce the amount of waste produced. prolongs the life of products while increasing their value. This step may be small; nevertheless, it makes an important contribution to waste management to promote UEHers towards practicing a green lifestyle on campus. Recycle: Natural resources are being depleted and landfills are being filled at an ever-increasing rate. Our current production, consumption and disposal systems have become unsustainable. Besides reducing the amount of waste generated and reusing existing materials, recycling is also one of the ways to help regenerate resources to minimize the exploitation of raw materials. Recycling is the last R in the 3R practice principle that UEH would like to share with you as well as the actions that UEHer can take today to recycle our items to contribute to building a Green Campus. Recyclable waste properly classified at UEH Go Green Station will be directly connected by UEH with recycling partners and transported for processing. Each specific type of waste will be processed in appropriate forms as well as collected and recycled by specialized waste treatment partners, turning waste into new resources with new uses.

This is considered an effective form of connection between businesses and students. Through the trip, UEH students will have the opportunity to approach reality, the working environment, space and corporate culture. Moreover, students themselves gradually form their career orientations more clearly. Organizing field trips at businesses can be considered an effective bridge, in which businesses and schools meet and develop relationships to achieve the common goal of creating conditions for students to gain practical knowledge and skills - an important foundation for future career development. In 2023, this activity continues to be focused and improved in both quality and quantity. In August, UEH actively connected with C.P. Vietnam, EY, Unilever, FPT IS, Lazada, Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ACB), Lineage Logistics for approximately 600 students to help them have a closer look at the future working environment. During the visit, students have the opportunity to listen and to be shared the necessary skills for candidates in new conditions; job positions and departmental organization models at the company; career opportunities; work experience; recruitment criteria that businesses need from candidates; sharing from CEOs, CFOs and business leaders about the working process. In addition, students have the opportunity to visit work and entertainment areas to understand more about corporate culture and to observe the layout and professional working space. Thereby, students understand the personnel selection criteria of businesses to partly self-assess their own abilities and proactively improve their ability to meet working requirements in a modern environment. These visits not only help students improve their knowledge and skills but also, most importantly, form a serious and professional attitude in study and work to meet the requirements of the domestic and regional labor markets. UEH students can improve their confidence when speaking and asking questions to business colleagues who act as future employers as well as their presentation skills in front of the crowd. The experiential visit that businesses coordinated with UEH once again demonstrated the proactive spirit of UEH students. From asking questions and discussing issues related to the career to training and the working environment, it partly shows the bravery of young students who are thinking and oriented towards the future. Surely after this tour, the students will have new perspectives and motivation for their development as well as orientations for their field of study, and set goals for themselves regarding the future working environment. In the upcoming time, UEH will continue the program for UEH Junior Students to practically visit businesses with diverse fields listed as supply chain, fast-moving consumer goods, retail, manufacturing, investment funds, accounting, auditing, finance, banking, and technology.

After more than 2 years of official implementation, let's now look back at the results achieved by online testing at UEH! The process of implementing online examinations at UEH from May 2021 to the present The process of implementing online exam activities at UEH has, so far, been divided into 2 phases: Phase 1 was in the context of an epidemic outbreak, implementing social distancing according to Direction No. 16 of the Government; and Phase 2 was after the lockdown, the new normal until now. In 2021, facing the severe outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic globally, the whole country in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, in order to implement disease prevention according to Direction No. 16 of the Government; at the same time, to ensure admissions, training management, and educating learners, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has pioneered the application of information technology in recruiting students, organizing and managing education activities of lecturers, officials, and students and applying modern testing tools to evaluate the quality of training at UEH. In the case that the entire city must do social distancing in nearly 3 months, along with the goal of ensuring the operation of the University's academic activities, UEH has flexibly issued notices, regulations, and procedures on management, teaching, learning, and online exams and received high consensus from learners, lecturers, and UEH officials. Specifically, regulations have been issued on organizing exams in the form of online exams at the University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City, which created the first legal foundation for organizing online exams at UEH, followed by instructions for online exam protocol for invigilators (Online exam protocol on- and off-campus) and online exam instructions for examinees; the establishment of the invigilator team for online exams that meets IT proficiency requirements and training for invigilators; the organization of mock exams for students to familiarize themselves with online exam formats; review and equipment check at all UEH computer rooms; official application of online exam format at UEH on July 17, 2021 (invigilators at UEH and remote examinees). The online exam format was deployed for students to stay at home during the social distancing period from July 19, 2021 to October 31, 2021 (invigilators at home and remote examinees). Thanks to preparation, UEH was proactive in organizing online exams with many exam forms during the period of social distancing across the city, ensuring to strictly conform to Direction No. 16 of the Government in the implementation of social distancing throughout the city. In particular, UEH's enrollment was not affected or interrupted. The entrance exams were successfully organized and achieved the expected results and targets. Online testing activities were applied by the School throughout the period of social distancing. Final exams were well organized, with no errors or violations in exam organization. Following the achievements in organizing online exams during the social distancing period, UEH continued to build, update and develop from the results achieved for the purpose of digitizing and improving management efficiency of UEH general activities. In the post-distancing period, the new normal (from November 1, 2021 to the present), UEH continuously updated relevant regulations and software to ensure objectivity and seriousness in management. Training and exam organization in online form at UEH. Specifically, UEH has issued updated regulations on organizing online exams of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (Issued along with Decision No.: 2063/QD-DHKT-KHDTKT dated July 19, 2022 of the President of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City). On March 1, 2023, UEH continued to issue a Decision on Amending and Supplementing several Articles in the Regulations on Organizing Exams in the Form of Online Exams of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (Issued with Decision No. 500/QD-DHKT-KHDTKT dated March 1, 2023 of the President of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City); at the same time, updating requirements on exam software, techniques, inspection equipment, violations, Online Exam Protocol and Instructions for invigilators and Online Exam Instructions for examinees; continuing to select and supplement online invigilators, organizing training for qualified staff to be ready for the organization of online exams (273 people), etc. for the purpose of serious, safe and effective implementation and fairness in organizing online exams at UEH. At the same time, online testing activities have been applied by UEH throughout the period after the lockdown and the new normal until now. Final exams are well organized, with no errors or violations in exam organization. Preparing exam questions and marking exams is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and UEH. Specifically, UEH successfully organized online final exams for all training levels at UEH during the pandemic with 1,507 cases and 60,358 students taking the exam; After the epidemic, up to now (November 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023), 6,650 cases have been organized with 261,307 students taking the exam of all training levels. Developing a specific online exam process Advantages of taking online exams at UEH After more than 2 years of implementation, online testing at UEH has achieved practical results with many recognized advantages. UEH implemented it promptly, on time and in compliance with the procedures and regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and built an invigilator team with good IT skills to serve online exams when necessary. Admissions at all levels of training have been carried out well, meeting established targets. The organization of English, IT and final exams has been done well, saving personnel, time and travel costs for learners because learners can take the exam remotely from anywhere according to personal needs, without having to spend a lot of time traveling to the exam center as in-person testing. The results of online exams were also released earlier than conventional exams, helping UEH ensure the overall training progress of learners as committed. According to the survey of online exam results, the final exam scores in the online remote exam format compared to the online exam at UEH increased but not significantly. The difference in final exam scores by remote online form and directly at UEH (with direct monitoring of invigilators) was not significant. This shows that, up to now, online exam results are still highly reliable. However, the current increasing development of information technology will lead to risks that learners and external factors can take advantage of the gaps in the system and software to find ways to destroy it, leading to students' exam results not properly assessing their learning outcomes. To limit this risk, there is a need for coordination and support from many sides listed as the Department of Information Technology, the Department of Training Planning and Testing, the Training Management Units, related units and the supervision and direction from school leaders. Investment in modern facilities and machinery serving online exams at the school Orientation for online exam activities in the upcoming period With the results achieved, in the upcoming time, UEH will continue to organize online exams (entrance exam, final exam, graduation exam, etc.) in modules with the appropriate exam format and content. For subjects that do not meet the format and content requirements for online testing, the exam will be held directly at UEH. Specifically: Continuing to apply the UEH online exam format in the following forms: Online test on LMS (LMS-TNOL); Online Questioning (VDOL); and Essay with online presentation (TLTTOL). Organizing in-person exams in the following forms: Essay; Multiple choice and essay (based on consensus among all lecturers teaching the module). In addition, the school will choose an appropriate online exam organization plan and continue to research and learn to update the exam software to improve supervision, security, and efficiency; strengthen the assessment of the learning process, reduce the percentage of final test scores (no more than 40%), and encourage the organization of online final multiple-choice tests; increase investment in facilities, invest in additional computer rooms to serve teaching, organize online exams and other major exams at UEH; strengthen discipline, determination, and toughness in the cases that candidates intentionally do not comply with regulations; add necessary disciplinary measures to the Online Exam Regulations and seriously apply disciplinary measures to examinees who violate the Exam Regulations; at the same time, promoting propaganda for learners to clearly understand UEH's purpose, vision, and mission regarding the digitalization of teaching, research, and learning activities, understanding the importance of assessing capacity in recruitment and the issue of honesty and seriousness in examinations, contributing to the correct assessment of students' capacity and benefiting students in their future job application and career. The school will choose an appropriate online exam organization plan and continue to research and learn to update the exam software to improve inspection, security, and efficiency.

This event, hosted at the UEH English Zone, aimed to maintain a healthy and enriching cultural and artistic movement for students, contributing to the comprehensive education goals for students. From the very theme of this Acoustic Show, "ILLUMINATE", it was evident that this was not just an ordinary music performance. It was an opportunity to embark on a journey to discover our unique qualities and become a shining star in our own lives, preserving the cherished values of today's Gen Z - thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. CHAPTER 1: SHY The initial notes brought us a chance to connect with deep and tranquil emotions. Like the first rays of dawn, the music resonated, enhancing the delicate nuances of human emotions. The selected songs were gentle and minimalistic, yet they possessed the power to awaken the soul. It was a moment when you felt a sense of "shyness" in life, peaceful and meaningful moments, and you realized that within every individual, there exists a light waiting to be discovered. CHAPTER 2: FINDING YOURSELF It felt as if we were embarking on a soul-searching journey - "Finding Yourself." Here, you immersed yourself in melodies that awakened understanding and the meaning of life. With each note and lyric, you gradually discovered a part of yourself, the precious values you carry, and grand ideas about life. The music seemed to propel your soul to overcome any challenge and find your own anchor. CHAPTER 3: YOU ARE A STAR Now, it's time for you to confidently stand up and shine. The melodies here were filled with positive energy, encouraging you to believe that you are a star with the ability to illuminate life and make a difference. Each person is a unique version and a bright star in their own life. In summary, the Acoustic Show concluded successfully, attracting over 100 students who registered for the event. The message about self-worth was conveyed strongly, and "ILLUMINATE" fulfilled its mission excellently by taking the participants on an emotional, exciting, and profound journey of self-discovery. Once again, the organizing committee sincerely thanks everyone for their time and participation in this event. Additionally, heartfelt thanks go to the band and singers who collaborated with SOM and UEH English Zone to bring about a successful night of music. We wish everyone good health and success in their studies and careers. See you all in UEH's upcoming music events!

The lecture will be a meaningful opportunity for Vietnam in general and UEH students in particular to better understand the effects and impacts of climate change and to innovate in responding to climate change. Climate change has been happening to many countries around the world, and especially in Israel. Furthermore, in the future, students will be policy makers, managers,... in many different fields from economics, management, design, technology, so understanding more knowledge is important. Innovation in ways to deal with climate change is essential. Climate change is an urgent issue that requires global cooperation and joint efforts.” Assoc. Prof. Pham Khanh Nam - Vice Rector, UEH College of Economics, Law and Government delivers opening remarks In his lecture, Ambassador Gideon Behar, Israel's Special Envoy for Climate Change and Sustainability, shared: “As the world is facing a global climate crisis with its significant impacts on human life and other species, countries are urgently promoting the search for effective and affordable solutions. In this regard, Israel is considered one of the world’s leading countries in the field of climate innovation. The very fact that it is located in an arid region has demanded that it develop capabilities in many areas that the world needs in order to respond to the climate crisis. Israel is leading in the number of startups in the world per capita and today, about 1 in 7 new Israeli startups work in the field of climate technology, which can be applied to industries such as agriculture, water, energy and transportation. Ambassador Gideon Behar looks forward to sharing more of these solutions with Vietnamese with the hope that the close cooperation between Vietnam and Israel in promoting the application of advanced technologies will push us closer to the goals of combating climate change.” Ambassador Gideon Behar, Israel's Special Envoy for Climate Change and Sustainability shares the Lecture Attendees felt very excited after Ambassador Gideon Behar's sharing, and asked many good questions to the speakers.

A crucial and timeless topic in student life was covered in this event. Being a national university, UEH enrolls students from many different ethnic groups, nations, and regions.  As a result, there are clashes between dialects, lifestyles, and points of view in the learning environment at UEH.  While integrating into this shared community, students face many difficulties due to cultural differences, which can lead to cultural shock and misunderstandings about regional cultural diversity. In order to help students, particularly first-year students, better understand national cultural identity and aid them in integrating into UEH's new community, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) organized a discussion on the subject of "Embracing Language and Cultural Differences" with cultural expert MA. Nguyen Hoang Chieu Anh. UEH students learn how to accept and value cultural diversity in the community. Step outside of your comfort zone That is the message Ms. Chieu Anh emphasized during the sharing session. Through her experience, she has gained an understanding of the thoughts and feelings that new students in the UEH "Global Village" have. A few brief conversations between the students themselves, best illustrated the differences in dialects and regional characteristics. Hấn, mệ, dằm, dặn... and other local slang will excite you but will undoubtedly cause many practical difficulties;. At the conclusion of the event, Ms. Chieu Anh made sure to share some thoughts, advice, and solutions with the students in the hopes that they can live in harmony with another in the face of such differences. Diversity & Inclusion Workshop is an annual event that is included in UEH activities and covers a variety of useful subjects to help students overcome cultural barriers and integrate into the outside world. To register and participate in the upcoming Diversity & Inclusion Workshop, please follow DSA website to update the latest information about the event.

By raising societal awareness of the diversity in sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC), we can encourage sex education and create safer learning environments. Be who you are and love who you are Together with speaker Eric Pham, an LGBTQ social activist and co-founder of Hanoi Queer, he began the event with a humorous introduction: "I can get too much coffee, I am colorblind, and I do not like watching football. What (ever) makes you a minority? His query sparked conversation, sharing, and attentive listening throughout the entire auditorium. Some people have odd hobbies, some people have seafood allergies, and some people suddenly fall in love - a special, "minority" kind of love. Some people have odd hobbies, some people have seafood allergies, and some people suddenly fall in love - a special, "minority" kind of love. Mr. Eric led the students through the core ideas of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC). By doing so, he imparts to others the proper way to behave and to view issues involving gender diversity. Encourage students to be confident in who they are, to accept themselves as they are. His openness to sharing, which promoted self-love, integration, and tolerance, helped the students in the auditorium that day better understand and empathize with one another. Everyone left the workshop with a message for a more equal, harmonious, and civilized society. The right information about SOGIESC and awareness of the effects of gender inequality, according to DSA - UEH, will allow students to use more suitable coping mechanisms for challenges. Through the occasion, UEH fosters a community that encourages acceptance, diversity, equity, and inclusion while also assisting students in discovering more about themselves. In the future, inspire the students to continue being present and speaking up for their communities.

However, in the recent years during the Covid epidemic, the growth rate of the Southeast region has tended to decrease and to be lower than that off the whole country. Through analyzing and evaluating the current status of technological innovation and high-tech application activities in the Southeast region, the authors have presented great achievements and causes of limited impact on science and technology innovation activities of the region. From here, we propose solutions to innovate technology and apply high technology to improve the quality of growth in the Southeast region. Limitations in terms of the development of science, technology and technology in the Southeast Region First, the Southeast Provinces do not have a common strategy, planning or plan in cooperation to develop science, technology and innovation. Each Province does science and technology independently with its own goals and plans, leading to the dispersion of already-completely-thin resources: financial resources, human resources, senior experts, and technical facilities. In some cases, there is unreasonable competition between Provinces in the Region: competition in attracting high-tech FDI investors, competition in attracting high-quality labor, many overlapping scientific research topics and so on. It is the huge difference in the level of science and technology development among Provinces significantly affects the overall development of the entire region. Second, the Southeast Region comprises approximately 80 Universities and 70 Colleges, nevertheless, these institutions have not attached science and technology activities yet so as to solve the region’s socio-economic problems effectively. The scientific research results of innovation centers at academic institutes have not absolutely come to life while the ability to apply and to commercialize technology products is being limited. Each school and institute in the Southeast Region has no plan to actively participate in projects, schemes, and plans in terms of science and technology development in the Region. Technical Universities in the area have not been the nucleus of new science and technology development yet; consequently, many research projects are basically theoretical with limited application. Third, the Provinces in the Southeast region have long had a policy of attracting high-tech FDI projects. The point is that the effective attraction measures are being limited; as a result, the products produced by FDI enterprises are mainly technology products which are processed and assembled, using low-skilled labor. Very few FDI enterprises operating in production in the Southeast Region organize research on new technologies and create products with new technological trends. In short, FDI corporations operating in the Southeast Region have not really participated in contributing to turning this region into a high-tech production center of the Region and the world. Fourth, research centers and laboratories in the Southeast Region lack operating funds and lack of connection with each other. The fact that the cooperation with countries in the region and the world in research and development is only in the initial steps has not created technological breakthrough products yet that resonate domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, many supporting industrial products produced domestically are not sufficient and must be imported. Product production efficiency in the Southeast region is not high. Fifth, basically businesses operating in the Southeast region have been using average technology originating from China while very few businesses set up a “Science and Technology Development Fund” in the spirit of guidance of the joint circular between the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance (Instruction Circular No. 12/2016/TTLT-BKHCN-BTC dated on June 28, 2016). Nearly 7 years have passed, the number of businesses dedicating to the Fund is less than 0.1% of the total number of operating businesses. Many corporations and businesses have established a Fund, nevertheless, its use is very limited. Of these few businesses that have established a fund, nearly 80% of businesses deduct the Fund but do not use it. This is the reason why the technical and technological level of enterprises is limited and labor productivity is not high. The number of production and manufacturing enterprises with science and technology research laboratories is very small, including in the FDI sector. Enterprises in the Southeast region have not strongly participated in the science and technology market as both the demand and supply sides of the market. Many businesses in the Southeast Provinces, including Ho Chi Minh City, do not consider science and technology development as an important factor for businesses to maintain competitiveness in the context of increased economic integration. Sixth, deploying the application of 4.0 technology in production and life as well as managing socio-economic activities in the Southeast Region, generally, is still a movement, in other words, achievements are not equivalent to the goals and resources spent. Implementing digital transformation contributes to 4.0 technology application accerleration is manifested as follows: Table 2 : Situation of digital transformation implementation in the Southeast Provinces in 2021 No. Southeast Provinces Overall ranking regarding digital transformation* Digital government ranking Digital economy ranking Digital society ranking Human resources Digital infrastructure 1 Hồ Chí Minh City 3 4 1 29 11 1 2 Đồng Nai 19 17 3 21 16 37 3 Bình Dương 22 16 36 33 7 5 4 Bình Phước 9 3 28 11 13 8 5 Bà Rịa- Vũng Tàu 29 44 14 28 56 6 6 Tây Ninh 44 50 58 58 54 29 Source: Ministry of Information and Communications 2021 *The overall ranking of digital transformation is dependent upon 9 main indicators reflecting the digital transformation situation with 98 component indices. Up to this present timeline (March 2023), the science and technology development of the Southeast region has neither been completely strong nor become a center for science and technology development that has an impact on the socio-economic development of the southern region and the whole country. Ho Chi Minh City has not achieved one definite science and technology position in Southeast Asia or the world. Causes of the weak operation *In terms of the State & City: * In terms of the business: Solution recommendation to enhance technological innovation and high-tech application to improve the competitiveness of industrial clusters in the Southeast Region From the science and technology management level at the Central level to the local Provincial/City level in the Southeast Region, it is to focus on reviewing and removing difficulties and bottlenecks in institutions, mechanisms and policies related to innovative-synchronous, effective, modern and integrated science and technology development development in accordance with the spirit of the Resolution of the 13th Party Congress and the Resolutions of the Politburo. Science and technology development strategies and programs in Provincial/City in the Southeast Region need to develop and to integrate tasks, plans/projects for science and technology market development into the 5-year and annual socio-economic development plans. The Provincial/City People’s Council of the Southeast Region must have a program to monitor the implementation of science, technology and innovation plans in their localities. Each province/City in the Southeast Region effectively organizes and implements the overall goal and 9 specific goals of the Science, Technology and Innovation Development Strategy until 2030 approved by the Prime Minister. The Government approved it on May 22, 2022. The Provinces in the Southeast Region should have a common strategy (Project) on developing science, technology and innovation; There is a joint action program of the Southeast provinces on technology market development, specifically: Provinces in the Southeast Region promote interconnection, moving towards synchronization of the science and technology market with the goods, service, labor and financial markets. Promoting public-private cooperation, mobilizing capital from businesses, people, and society to develop the science and technology market. Focusing on building and piloting in the Southeast region policies to create motivation for commercializing science and technology products, quickly bringing research results and intellectual property created from state budget sources, public-private cooperation and private investment in production and business, focusing on risk-taking policies in science and technology activities; Encouraging public-private cooperation and private investment in projects to commercialize research results and intellectual property. Replicating innovation models and apply science and technology, including 4.0 technologies into production and business. Developing policies to encourage startups, innovation, develop large databases, and share data and information to promote the development of a comprehensive and synchronous science, technology, and startup ecosystem.

Following the success of the 4 previous Annual International Conferences, ACBES 2023 was honored to receive the scientific cooperation of 3 universities: Universitas Padjadjaran (Indonesia), Krirk University (Thailand), Queen Mary University of London (United Kingdom); sponsored by 7 prestigious international journals: Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (SCOPUS Q1, ABDC: B, ESCI), Financial Review (ABDC: A, ABS: 3, SCOPUS, ESCI), International Journal of Finance & Economics (ABDC: B, ABS: 3, SCOPUS, SSCI), Socio-Economic Review (ABDC: A, ABS: 3, SCOPUS, SSCI), Evaluation Review (ABDC: A, SCOPUS, SSCI), International Finance (SCOPUS), SSCI), International Economics and Economic Policy (ABDC: B, SCOPUS Q2, ESCI); and financed by 4 units: Ministry of Education and Training under the SCOPUS Accession Scheme (2020-2023), International School of Business (ISB), the French-Vietnamese School of Management Ho Chi Minh City (CFVG), and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF). The conference invited 4 keynote speakers as leading scholar in the world, including: Prof. Almas Heshmati (Jönköping International Business School, Sweden), Prof. Rosalie L. Tung (Simon Fraser University, Canada; Editor-in-Chief of Journal of International Business Studies), Prof. Han Woo Park (YeungNam University, Korea; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia; Editor-in-Chief of Quality & Quantity), and Prof. Van Pham (Baylor University, USA). Speaking at the opening ceremony of the ACBES 2023, Prof. Su Dinh Thanh - President of UEH and Head of the Steering Committee of the Conference - shared about JABES’ recent achievements (officially listed in SCOPUS ranked Q1, ABDC Grade B, ESCI and so on); concurrently, Prof. Su Dinh Thanh also affirmed that compared to the previous conferences, ACBES 2023 attracted a larger number of prestigious international experts, scholars and high-quality articles related to the contemporary academic topics and the current global context. Prof. Su Dinh Thanh expected that ACBES 2023 would bring many research ideas, make academic contributions and be a place for young researchers to exchange and foster, contributing to enhancing the academic position of UEH. Prof. Su Dinh Thanh – President of UEH - delivering the opening speech of the ACBES 2023 Representative of ACBES 2023 Organizing Committee, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai – Head of the Organizing Committee - sent greetings to the speakers, attendees, partners, and sponsors. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai asserted that JABES had been indexed in ESCI, SCOPUS, and ABDC and was striving to be listed in other major international categories in the future such as ERIM and ABS. Through the initial statistical results, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai commented that ACBES 2023 was an influential scientific conference beyond Asia, a place to exchange ideas for global scientists on current global issues: socio-economic influence from the COVID-19 Pandemic, war issues, and foreign trade sanctions. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai also specially thanked the partners, keynote speakers, sponsors, session chairs and moderators/coordinators for their valuable contributions to the success of ACBES 2023. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai – Head of ACBES 2023 Organizing Committee - giving the opening speech Prof. Su Dinh Thanh and Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai giving souvenirs and thanking the Keynote Speakers At ACBES 2023, 4 Keynote Speakers presented topics related to current new economic issues in turn, each presentation and discussion was attended by reputable scholars with the role of main coordinators from The City University of New York (USA), National Economics University, and UEH. Presentation sessions of the Keynote Speaker are conducted through a Hybrid format to create the best conditions for all attendees to be able to follow in all situations. The topics presented are as follows: Prof. Almas Heshmati (Jönköping University, Sweden) presented the topic “Green Innovations and Patents in OECD Countries”. The research by Prof. Almas Heshmati estimates knowledge production consisting of a system of input and output creativity with productivity and feedback effects on innovation investment. The model takes into account productivity shock, endogeneity of inputs, simultaneity and interdependence in which the productivity shock is an unobserved latent component. The model was estimated by Bayesian methods combined with Marco Chain Sequential Monte Carlo iterative technique, also known as Particle Filtering. In the empirical part, the study uses panel data from 27 OECD countries in the period 1990–2018 to provide implications and lessons learned for the innovation process in Vietnam and other emerging economies. Prof. Almas Heshmati presenting the topic “Green Innovations and Patents in OECD Countries” and discussing it with academicians at ACBES 2023 Prof. Rosalie L. Tung (Simon Fraser University, Canada; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Business Studies) presented online the topic “Reflections on Publishing Impactful Research in Top Journals in International Business Research”. Based on decades of research in the field of international business and his current role as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Business Studies - the leading Journal of International Business with an Impact Factor of 11.6 in 2022, Prof. Rosalie presented the impact of publishing in leading international business journals and proposed new global research directions including population aging, digital transformation of economies towards interdependence in the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Prof. Rosalie L. Tung presenting the topic “Reflections on Publishing Impactful Research in Top Journals in International Business Research” online and discussing it with academicians at ACBES 2023 Prof. Han Woo Park (YeungNam University, Korea; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia; Editor-in-Chief of Quality & Quantity) presented the topic “Measuring Innovation and Collaboration System Using Big Data”. Prof. Han Woo Park stated that, in the past 10 years, big data analysis has become popular. As big data comes in many different formats, his research focuses on the most common type of big data in measuring innovation and knowledge-based collaboration: academic publications and citations. Prof. Han demonstrates how to derive meaningful insights in a semi-automatic way using traditional Bibliometrics, social media data, site citations, and Triple Helix-Based Networks to describe the characteristics of knowledge-based social systems and the interactions captured by different actors and organizations. In a broader sense, these systems can be viewed as the networks of many different actors communicating in both directions. Both feedback and forward-looking systems are important for long-term social progress and technological progress. Identifying the mechanisms driving science and technology development can lead to a better understanding of socio-economic forecasting dynamics. This will be extremely beneficial for academic researchers, industry professionals, government policymakers, and social activists. Prof. Han Woo Park presenting the topic "Measuring Innovation and Collaboration System using Big Data" and discussing it with academicians at ACBES 2023 Prof. Van Pham (Baylor University, USA) shared the topic “Present Predictions vs. Future Narratives: Unraveling GPT-4’s Predictive Power with Contrasting Prompting Approaches”. Prof. Van Pham explored the potential applications of artificial intelligence tools to economic analysis. In this study, Prof. Van Pham and Scott Cunningham investigated the impact of different Prompting Styles on the predictive accuracy of the GPT-4 modern language model. The focus of the research was on two contrasting approaches: direct predictions from the present and stories set in the future where events have been happening. The study assessed GPT-4’s ability to predict the 2022 Academy Award winners and macroeconomic variables in late 2021, and early 2022 using these descriptive styles. Interestingly, direct predictions perform poorly, while stories set in the future demonstrate significantly improved accuracy. To guide further studies, Prof. Van Pham emphasized the importance of carefully choosing descriptive styles when using language models such as GPT-4 for human needs prediction tasks and emphasized that artificial intelligence tools still make mistakes and people still play an important role in all activities. Prof. Van Pham (Baylor University, USA) presenting the topic “Present Predictions vs. Future Narratives: Unraveling GPT-4's Predictive Power with Contrasting Prompting Approaches” and discussing it with academicians at ACBES 2023 Regarding the number of articles sent to ACBES 2023, the Organizing Committee sent invitations to domestic and international scholars from December 2022 to June 15, 2023. There were 280 articles sent to ACBES 2023.

I think this is a very good learning opportunity for dozens of PhD students. Many researchers presented their work for the first time to leading scholars from Erasmus University Rotterdam, Baylor University, City University of New York, UEH, etc. I think ACBES will open up research opportunities among researchers in ASEAN and beyond. I hope to be invited to ACBES next year.” More photos related to the conference: Overview of the opening session of ACBES 2023 Further information: New information about JABES and outstanding events listed as ACBES International Conference, JST Talk series, and a variety of other events will be continuously updated on JABES official channels as follows: JABES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jabes.ueh.edu.vn JABES Website: http://www.jabes.ueh.edu.vn/ JABES on Emerald Group Publishing: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/jabes ACBES Website: https://acbes.ueh.edu.vn/ JABES Youtube: http://shorturl.at/jnoOR News, photos: JABES, UEH Department of Marketing and Communication Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology On the morning of August 16, 2023, the Special Training Workshop in the Academic Series of the 5th Asia Conference on Business and Economic Studies (ACBES 2023), with the theme "Urban Economics - Emerging Issues and Potential Research Directions" was successfully held with the participation of more than 60 guests under Hybrid format. Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES), on behalf of the Organizing Committee of ACBES 2023, introduced the Keynote speaker of the second session of the Special Training Workshop. Dr. Bryan S. Weber, a full-time lecturer at the City University of New York (US), is currently a member of the Editorial Board of JABES English version. Much of the research by Dr. Bryan S. Weber deals primarily with economic issues related to urban development, labor, economic issues of transportation, and experiments related to human behavior and human decision-making in the context of megacities. Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan introduced the key speaker of the Special Training Workshop At this Special Training Workshop, Dr. Bryan focused on the following research directions: The development of econometric models and research topics related to urban areas listed as Traffic Economics, Economics of Crime, and the Sharing Economy. While presenting the development of econometric models related to these topics, the speaker repeatedly emphasized the importance and aspects of data when using both traditional and modern econometric models. In addition, the concept of "Machine Learning" is mentioned in data processing to increase accuracy in the process of analyzing urban-related topics and inherently these problems are quite complex when it exists as a distributed cluster. Prof. Bryan S. Weber presenting the topic "Urban Economics - Emerging Issues and Potential Research Directions" The argument is that the traffic problem is one of the key factors for the urban development process when a large amount of time and money of each individual is spent on commuting every day, leading to various types of costs listed as fuel fees, repair and maintenance fees, parking and stopping fees. Urban economics in general and transport economics in particular will be both opportunities and challenges for academicians in the world in general and especially Vietnamese economists in particular when the problem of transportation in Vietnam is a bottleneck in the development process. Dr. Bryan S. Weber used a specific study on the use of city buses to reduce crime rates in certain areas of the US as an example for the topic of crime economics. This study examines the introduction of fixed bus routes to neighborhoods and concludes this reduces crime rates. There are many predictions that the crime rate will increase along bus routes because there are more victims; however, the eyes-and-ears effect may prevail for public transport. The results showed that the crime rate decreased by almost 25% along the experimental routes compared to the control group. This is a concrete demonstration that the results of scientific research can be applied to real society in order to make reasonable policies, helping to improve people's awareness of the process of urban development. Dr. Bryan S. Weber sharing his research experience Concluding his presentation, Dr. Bryan received a lot of lively discussion questions from a large number of domestic and international scientists and researchers participating in the Workshop, questions about different aspects in the field of urban economics and interesting content, as well as remarkable research suggestions, these may be research directions of great interest to experts and academia in the coming time to solve the problems that megacities in developing countries like Vietnam face. Scientists exchanging lively discussions under the presentation of Dr. Bryan S. Weber At the end of the program, Mr. Nguyen Trong Hoai - JABES Editor-in-Chief, on behalf of the Organizing Committee of ACBES 2023, thanked Dr. Bryan S. Weber for bringing many new research ideas to young researchers in Asia in general and in Vietnam in particular. Finally, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai, on behalf of the Organizing Committee presented souvenirs to the keynote speaker, Dr. Bryan S. Weber, and closed two workshop sessions in the first academic series of the ACBES Conference 2023. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai presenting a souvenir to Dr. Bryan S.

Prof. Jo Bensemann, Dean of the School of Management, Massey University (New Zealand), specializes in management issues, leadership skills, management and business development skills. Prof. Jo Bensemann is currently a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES) - English version, owned by University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Prof. Jo Bensemann presenting the topic “Sustainability and Change - Studies on Post-COVID-19 Management” Prof. Jo Bensemann stated that a leading researcher in the field of administration and management needs to know how to build a value system suitable for research groups with leadership skills in funding and international partnerships besides the ability to think critically and aim for research tasks associated with sustainable development. Professor provided important knowledge in the field of management as well as summarized the remarkable changes in the world after the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes include major demographic shifts, world’s population, technological developments, and new requirements for skills and knowledge in the labor market in nearly every sector. Specifically, Prof. Jo believed that leadership and management-related studies that may be useful in the future, including: Competitive leadership, organizational capacity, entrepreneurship orientation, and innovation. At the same time, the upcoming human resource needs will require leadership, entrepreneurship, practical problem-solving skills, innovation, social responsibility, ethics, integrity, and a global perspective. Upon focusing on new research trends, it will be incumbent on experts and interdisciplinary research groups to help to strengthen their networks and to share practical experiences and to expand research opportunities towards sustainability. Prof. Jo Bensemann sharing her research experience Prof. Jo also shared a lot of experience from her research process for young researchers who wish to start their scientific careers in the field of management and administration. As a pioneer both in academia and in research, the professor continuously emphasized on the values of a researcher in the conduct of scientific work: integrity and responsibility, regardless of conducting individual or group research, all of which aim at creating values that help society and community. Scientists having a lively discussion at the presentation session of Prof. Jo Bensemann Discussing at the Special Training Workshop, Arjun Krisma - PhD Candidate in the field of economics, from India - participating in ACBES 2023 as the author of a study invited to present at the workshop, expressed his interest in the article sharing and asked questions about the methods of applying the characteristics of European management to Asian countries listed as Vietnam and India, as well as expressing concerns in learning management research methods when there are many cultural differences. With the above question, Prof. Jo Bensemann considered this an interesting perspective and it was worth conducting an empirical study of cultural differences between the two countries. The Special Training Workshop’s discussion session by Prof. Jo Bensemann took place successfully. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai - JABES Editor-in-Chief, on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the ACBES International Conference 2023, thanked and presented gifts to the Keynote Speaker - Prof. Jo Bensemann; concurrently, thanked the scientists and researchers for their interest and enthusiasm in exchanging and discussing to bring success to the Special Training Workshop in particular and ACBES 2023 in general.

Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai, Editor-in-Chief of JABES, on behalf of the ACBES 2023 Organizing Committee, opened the conference and introduced attendees including guests from JABES partners and members of the Editorial Board. In his opening speech, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai briefly mentioned that JABES has been indexed in high quality list (SCOPUS, ISI, ABDC) in the past 5 years and emphasized that this was the first JABES Editorial Board meeting in person to take place at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) in 3 years. He added that the members of the JABES Editorial Council only work on the online platform, and through this Conference, JABES's strategy will be maintained: the achievements of JABES English version when it indexed in SCOPUS ranked Q1, and the expectation that JABES Vietnamese version will also approach the minimum SCOPUS standard to join in ACI. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai speaking at the opening of the Annual Meeting Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan presented a report to the Editorial Board on the impressive statistics collected from the JABES Management System. JABES’s research has been increasingly recognized and reputable by the Asia and global community of scientists over the years, with the number of downloads reaching nearly 120,000 in 2022 and a Citescore of 2023 is 7.2. Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan presenting the JABES Statistical Report on impressive figures and the topic "Research Ethics - Authorship, Papermills and Principles of Review" In this conference, Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan shared some experiences on the topic “Research Ethics - Authorship, Papermills and Principles of Review” proposed by Emerald International Publishing that have been presented to JABES on a working trip to Taiwan in July 2023. This topic emphasized possible forms of copyright infringement (including the author’s use of artificial intelligence, change of copyright, disputes over the order of authors and the extent of each person's contribution to the article and so on); papermill-related issues, papermill identifiers, and confidential review guidelines. A new change was introduced to the Editorial Board to ensure academic integrity: do not invite two reviewers from the same institution to comment on articles submitted by the same institution. Thereby, Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan shared some review principles listed as: no conflict of interest between reviewers and authors, reviewers must ensure confidentiality, seriousness, and impartiality as well as manipulating to citation of their own articles. Finally, he also presented some important recommendations: checking the author’s email as well as the matching between the author’s affiliation, email and author’s name; In addition, the review time and content should also be clearly considered. The members of the Editorial Board and guests enthusiastically sharing and contributing to the topic "Research Ethics - Authorship, Papermills and Principles of Review". The members of the editorial board and the invited guests actively exchanging and discussing The program was followed by a Special Session co-organized by JABES and NTUMR with the theme “Editor's Role and Editor's Essentials.” Opening this special session, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai introduced Prof. Chih-Hsun Chuang - the professor of the Faculty of Business Administration at National Chung Hsing University (Taiwan) as well as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Organization and Management, which is ranked as one of the Top Journals in Taiwan. His research interests include strategic human resource management and leadership. At the meeting with members of the Editorial Board and editors of JABES, Prof. Chih-Hsun Chuang shared the topic of editors' roles and responsibilities and how to be an excellent journal and specialty editor. The editor's role includes: Supporting the manuscript review process, providing subject-specific expertise, and making recommendations to journal editors. Throughout this process, editors must identify potential reviewers with appropriate expertise and ensure a rigorous review process. In addition, an Editor needs to actively and promptly communicate with authors and reviewers and especially consult the Editor-in-Chief. To the author, the Editor needs to provide clear, detailed instructions to meet the standards and Regulations of the Journal. Editors also need to continually expand their knowledge through reading and attending international scientific conferences, and networking with researchers and scholars. At the same time, editors must promote transparency and accountability in the publishing process, and understand how to handle ethical issues fairly and with integrity. Prof. Chih-Hsun Chuang giving an online presentation that shared the topic of editors' roles and responsibilities and how to become excellent journal and specialty editors. This special session was honored to receive the presence of Prof. Lee Chia-Ling from National Chengchi University (Taiwan) who is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Accounting Review. Prof. Lee works at the Department of Accountancy at National Chengchi University, Taiwan. The research topics of Prof. Lee are Management Accounting, Cost Management, Strategic Performance Management, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Prof. Lee shared that the role of the Editor-in-Chief is the first decision maker on whether an article will be rejected for publication (Desk Rejection) or will be submitted for review through the Editors, and at the same time, it is also the person who makes the final decision on whether the article should be published or not. Specifically, an Editor-in-Chief has duties and responsibilities including organizing the journal editorial board, running an effective editorial board meeting, creating an environment for research publication, ensuring that the published manuscript is of good quality and maintaining the publication schedule for the journal, ensuring published manuscripts that reflect current trends in the field of research and incorporate emerging research topics, promote the journal to local and foreign scholars, and ultimately seek out potential research for publication. In addition, the success of a journal depends on the quality of the reviews. Accordingly, Prof. Lee emphasized, “Finding high-quality Reviewers is extremely important and necessary.” Reviewers should provide a review report on time, be aware of the article's conflicts of interest, adhere to an anonymous, confidential review, and avoid asking questions differently across each version of the article. Reviewers need to answer the following questions for themselves after reviewing the article: What is the purpose of the study? Do the arguments have a theoretical basis? Is the research method appropriate? Does the research conclusion meet the research topic? What is the contribution and relationship between the current documents and this article? At the end of this special session, there was an interesting sharing from Dr. Pham Hung Hiep (Hiep Pham) – The Co-editor of Evaluation Review. Evaluation Review focuses on evaluation research in social sciences (all types of evaluation, i.e. process, performance, and impact). Articles considered for publication include evaluation analysis results, methodological discussions, and other relevant articles on evaluative research. Thereby, Dr. Pham Hung Hiep shared that the journal's experience and current strategy is to diversify the editorial board to include members from North America, Europe, and Asia. In addition, the Journal needs to expand its search for manuscripts from different countries and towards manuscripts applying new methods such as qualitative. Dr. Pham Hung Hiep sharing his experiences and strategies for international journal management Concluding the Conference with more than two hours of effective discussion, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai thanked and presented a souvenir from UEH to all members of the Editorial Board, who took the time to attend the Annual Meeting of the JABES Editorial Board and the Special Meeting co-hosted by JABES and NTUMR Journal.

However, in the recent years during the Covid epidemic, the growth rate of the Southeast region has tended to decrease and to be lower than that of the whole country. Through analyzing and evaluating the current status of technological innovation and high-tech application activities in the Southeast Region, the authors have presented great achievements and causes of limited impact on innovation activities regarding science and technology of the region. From this foundation, the author group proposes solutions for technological innovation and high-tech application so as to improve the growth quality of the Southeast Region. Let’s discover the achievements in innovation and high-tech application in the Southeast region in Part 1 of this article. Southeast – The economic region with the greatest capacity in terms of innovation and application of science and technology in Vietnam Most Provinces in the Southeast Region have established innovation support centers. Ho Chi Minh City, the economic engine of the Southeast region, in dividually, by the end of 2021, has had 36 incubators and creative start-up support organizations, 13 co-working spaces, and more than 100 universities and colleges. In terms of innovation activities, approximately 2,000 innovative start-up businesses have been establshied. Ho Chi Minh City has been implementing the “Project to support the development of Ho Chi Minh City's innovative startup ecosystem for the 2021-2025 period” and is the leading city in the country with a positive creative startup ecosystem. In 2020, Ho Chi Minh City ranked at the position of 19 out of 100 in the Asia-Pacific Region’s innovation ecosystem rankings. Binh Duong Province builds an innovation zone with the participation of foreign experts from Singapore and the Netherlands. From the results of completing the innovative startup ecosystem and implementing smart cities, Binh Duong Province attracts a variety of leading corporations in science and technology listed as Schneider Group, Philips, Bosch, NXP, Intel, TMA and so on. Domestic and foreign institutes and universities jointly develop a creative startup ecosystem and quickly deploy science and technology applications. Dong Nai Province, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, Tay Ninh Province, and Binh Phuoc Province also have vibrant innovative startup movements that are becoming more and more practical. In 2022, Vietnam ranks at the 48th place out of 132 countries and economies on the global innovation index, being as the country ranking at 3rd in Southeast Asia with a promising startup and innovation ecosystem, belonging to the group of countries that have achieved the greatest progress over the past decade. Achievements in innovation in Vietnam have a significant contribution from the Southeast Provinces, in which Ho Chi Minh City is the leader. Southeast – The region with the fastest development of smart cities in Vietnam country On July 3, 2020, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City announced Decision No. 2393 titled “Approving the digital transformation program at Ho Chi Minh City". That Ho Chi Minh City is the first locality to announce a smart urban construction project is also the first locality to announce a digital transformation project and to build Thu Duc Smart City. Binh Duong Province has had a smart city development strategy since the end of 2016. By July 2021, Binh Duong Smart City was announced by the World Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) in New York of the United States as TOP 7 Communities with typical Smart City development strategies in the world in 2021. Dong Nai Province is one of the earliest Provinces to deploy Smart City construction in the country. Up to the present time as in 2023, 01 Province has been implementing 02 smart cities in the city: Bien Hoa City and Long Khanh City. To improve the quality of smart city construction implementation, Dong Nai Province granted Decision No. 1179/QD-UBND dated on May 10, 2022 approving the smart urban development project of Dong Nai Province for the 2022-2025 period together the orientation towards 2030. Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, in April 2022, building a Smart Operations Center designed with high load capacity, has been ready to expand own scale to build a Smart City in this Province. Although Binh Phuoc Province implemented it later, in November 2022, the fact that Binh Phuoc Province built a smart urban monitoring and operation center (IOC) in Dong Xoai City is the core foundation for building a Smart City (Smart Urban). Tay Ninh Province, in November 2022, issued a decision to pilot Hoa Thanh Town to become the Province’s smart urban area by 2030. The construction of smart urban cities and towns in the Southeast Region creates one foundation with the purpose of promoting digital transformation and application of 4.0 Technology in production and life. The Southeast Region strongly deploys the strategy of digitizing socio-economic activities, quickly deploying the application of 4.0 Technologies in social management, economics and business activities of enterprises. All Provinces in this region have local digital transformation strategies with specific action programs. Ho Chi Minh City – The pillar in the Southeast Provinces quickly deploying High-tech Parks Ho Chi Minh City takes the lead in the Vietnam country in building and developing Quang Trung Software Park (QTSC). After 22 years of establishment (2001-2023), QTSC is the only software center in Vietnam that attracts more than 150 businesses. This place creates nearly 700 products and technology solutions that not only serve the domestic market but also serve export. Since 2016, QTSC has been allowed by the Government to do franchise business and set up a chain of software parks, contributing to the widespread development of applications of the 4.0 Revolution to other localities. In accordancw with KPMG’s assessment results, QTSC ranked at 3rd out of 08 technology parks in Asia. Quang Trung Software Park brand has been recognized by the international community, contributing to building a national brand for the IT and software industry, contributing to making Vietnam as one world leader in outsourcing services in terms of the field of software, becoming the world’s most attractive destination for IT investment attraction. In addition, the bright spot in science and technology development in Ho Chi Minh City is as follows: The city invested tens of billions of VN dong to build the infrastructure of District 9 High-Tech Park (Saigon High Tech Park - SHTP). By the end of June 2022, SHTP High-Tech Park attracted 160 projects (currently, being valid), of which 70 are high-tech manufacturing projects; 19 high-tech service projects; 19 research and implementation projects; 09 training and incubation projects; 23 High-Tech supporting industry projects; 09 commercial and service projects; 11 infrastructure development projects. Among the 51 FDI projects, there are brands of world-famous high-tech corporations listed as Intel, Jabil (USA), Nidec, Nipro, NTT (Japan), Samsung (Korea), Datalogic (Italy) and so on. Research and development activities are paid attention and supported by Ho Chi Minh City. Research and development activities are paid attention and supported by the city. In this High-tech Park, a Nanotechnology Laboratory has been established under the Research and Implementation Center established under Decision No. 19/QD-KCNC dated on February 9, 2010 of the High-Technology Park Management Board. The functions and the tasks of the Department are to carry out scientific research and technological development in the fields of nanotechnology, new materials, renewable energy and experimental production of scientific products. Ho Chi Minh City has supported the building of a number of science and technology organizations, contributing to turning Ho Chi Minh City into a high-tech center of Vietnam: • R&D research center in the City High-Tech Park; • Innovation and Startup Support Initiative Center under the Department of Science and Technology (Department of Science and Technology) of Ho Chi Minh City; • Center for Biotechnology; • New Equipment Design and Manufacturing Center (Neptech); • Circuit Design Research Center serving the electronics industry; • Institute of Computational Science and Technology; • Nanotechnology Laboratory - Ho Chi Minh City National University; • Technology business incubators; • Since 2012, the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City has deployed and put into operation the annual Ho Chi Minh City technology and equipment market (Techmart) in direct and online forms in accordance with the topics of biology and medical equipment, tools for agriculture and so on.

UEH's efforts in the Mekong Delta, in general, in recent times and the current meaningful project in Mang Thit District, Vinh Long Province are a typical example of this orientation. The presence of UEH in the Mekong Delta With the responsibility of a Key University in Vietnam, since its establishment in 1976 until its transformation into a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University today, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh has always made strong efforts and commitments to contribute to the sustainable development of society and education. In particular, through the program "Community Connection - Spreading Knowledge - Sustainable Action" launched in 2020, UEH has joined with businesses and local authorities to create positive values in accordance with the message “Thinking globally, Acting locally", contributing to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Determining that participating in high-quality human resource training, expanding scientific research and consulting and criticizing policies contribute to the development of the Mekong Delta, which is a key task in the long-term development strategy and also an honorable responsibility, in 2019, UEH established a Campus in Vinh LongProvince  - a place considered the focal point of the Mekong Delta region. Nearly 4 years after its establishment, UEH Vinh Long Campus has gradually affirmed UEH’s mission and brand, becoming a prestigious and quality training address, providing key human resources not only for the Mekong Delta Region but the whole country. To date, the Campus has been educating more than 7,500 students at all levels and modes. More than 10 regional and international workshops with meaningful research contributing to the development of the Mekong Delta have been organized listed as: the Sustainable Mekong Workshop Series (SM); the conference on The role of Science, Technology and innovation activities in economic growth in Vinh Long Province in the context of the 4.0 Revolution; Climate change adaptation policy in the Mekong Delta, etc. In addition, there are efforts to carry out community activities, including the UEH Global project to transfer the online learning system to the community for middle and high schools; Training and spreading knowledge regarding "Electronic Instructional Design", "STEM Teaching" for Lecturers - Teachers of more than 500 schools in Mekong Delta. Recently, UEH successfully organized a Summer Camp to connect local youth with the national and international youth community. Many regional and international conferences with meaningful research contributing to the development of the Mekong Delta being organized by UEH. Acting locally and joining hands to innovate Mang Thit for the sustainable development of the entire Region * Sustainable development requiring synchronization Mang Thit District is located in the East of Vinh Long Province and has a tropical monsoon climate, hot and humid all year round, with relatively high heat and abundant radiation. The economy is mainly agricultural, including multi-cropping, intensive cropping, ceramic and tile production. Under the impact of recent climate change, combined with the exploitation of water resources by countries upstream of the Mekong River, climate extremes and unusual developments in water levels on the Mekong River have increased, saltwater intrusion deepening into the mainland will cause a gradual decrease in favorable factors in terms of climate - weather, hydrological conditions - water resources and increase potential risks due to the impact of climate change in the coming decades. Therefore, the natural - economic - social barriers of Mang Thit in particular, and the Mekong Delta in general require the cooperation of the whole community to be partly resolved, aiming to bring about a stable life for the local people and the economy. With the orientation of bringing global thinking and knowledge to action and solving local problems, UEH has made pioneering efforts to connect the community of businesses, organizations, students, alumni, etc. with the local area to act together to help Mang Thit increasingly improve challenges in the development process, towards a better life, leading to the contribution to the overall development of the Mekong Delta. Accordingly, from June 30 to July 25, 2023, UEH and related parties implemented: (i) upgrading and building infrastructure projects in 7 communes of Mang Thit District; (ii) spreading innovative knowledge to localities; and (iii) implementing environmental projects with a total estimated cost of nearly 2.31 billion VND. Funds are donated by UEH's budget sources, businesses and counterpart capital from local authorities.

According to this activity, any UEHers or visitors entering and leaving UEH need to comply with the principles of waste classification model 3 or model 7 located at UEH Campuses and Vinh Long Campus. Let’s learn how to classify waste at UEH Go Green Station. UEH Go Green Station is an area to practice classification before disposal according to regulations at each campus. There are 2 waste classification models at UEH, depending on the area and characteristics of the campuses, the Go Green Station will be equipped: Classification model 7 (referred to as Model 7): The model requires the practice of separating and classifying trash, according to 7 types, including: (1) liquid, (2) leftover food, (3) metal, (4) recycled plastic, (5) papers, (6) milk cartons and (7) residual waste. It is expected that UEH will apply this model at all campuses in the long term. Classification model 3 (referred to as Model 3): A simple version of the classification model 7 includes: (1) leftover food, (2) recyclable waste, (3) residual waste. The model is applied at small campuses and areas. Recyclable waste properly classified at Go Green Stations will be directly connected by UEH with recycling partners and transported for processing. Image. Closed cycle toward effective Waste Classification at UEH All individuals entering and exiting UEH should commit to practicing Model 7 and Model 3, depending on the Go Green Station model. “Time for go green” - It's time for us to change our lifestyle and join hands to protect the environment!

The Need for Green Finance in the Southeast With a high economic growth rate, the Southeast Region, an important driving force economic region of the Viet nam country, is considered the largest industrial center of the country, contributing approximately 45% of GDP and approximately 50% of the total industrial production value, export turnover and national budget. However, the negative externalities of production and consumption activities are seriously affecting the environment. In accordance with the data from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, as of 2019, along the Dong Nai river basin, more than 10,100 industrial production enterprises were identified. In particular, a large number of enterprises do not treat wastewater in accordance with the national regulations. A large amount of wastewater discharged from industrial zones and export processing zones (EPZs) in Dong Nai Province, Ho Chi Minh City, and Binh Duong Province flows into the middle and lower reaches of Dong Nai River, Saigon River and Thi Vai River. The report on the state of the national environment 2016-2020 indicated that the Southeast is one of the localities with the highest amount of solid waste generation in the country during the analysis period. Figure 2: Solid waste generation in different regions in 2016-2020 period. Source: National State of Environment Report 2016-2020 In accordance with the National Environmental Status Report 2016-2020, this area is recognized as the highest urbanization rate in the country. The population in the basin of Dong Nai River system, the section flowing through the Southeast region, currently, has an average urbanized population rate of approximately 56.3%. In the whole basin, many urban areas of different sizes are concentrated, with the characteristics of population distribution combined with the topographical conditions and the existing facilities of the drainage network, domestic wastewater of the basins. Urban areas are, currently, partially collected only whereas the rest is mainly drained into rivers and canals. Therefore, green financial solutions are completely necessary to minimize the harmful effects of production and consumption activities in the Southeast Region. Nevertheless, the reality demonstrates that green financial solutions have not been developed synchronously in the Southeast Region. In particular, only some aspects of green finance are focusing on developing individually listed as green credit or green bonds *Green credits Green credits are those that banks support loan projects for the purpose of environmental protection, climate change adaptation and sustainable development. Green credit growth trend has long been developed in the world listed as energy saving, renewable energy and clean technology projects, aiming at the goal of economic growth associated with environmental protection. However, awareness of the importance of green credit has only been focused on in Vietnam recently. Specifically, in March 2015, the State Bank of Vietnam issued Directive No. 03/CT-NHNN on promoting green credit growth and managing environmental and social risks in credit granting activities. The information from the Credit Department of Economic Sectors under the State Bank of Vietnam indicates that the growth rate of green credit in Vietnam has presented positive signs, increasing year by year. Green credit outstanding in Vietnam has increased from more than 71,000 billion dong in 2015 to 431,700 trillion dong in 2021. Of which, green agricultural debt in 2021 will reach 138,200 billion dong; The outstanding balance of renewable energy and clean energy reached VND 198,600 billion. Unfortunately, currently, no specific statistics on green credit outstanding in localities has been introduced, limiting in-depth analysis of green credit at the local level. In addition, this reflects the reality of the limitations on the guiding and regulating role of local governments in the development of green finance. *Green bonds Green bonds are an effective solution applied by many countries around the world. To finance green projects, green bonds are attracting a lot of attention. The first green bonds were issued in 2007 by governments and commercial lenders in Europe. The issuance of green bonds increased thanks to the incentive programs of national governments. The global green bond market has grown from $4.3 billion in 2012 to $162 billion in 2018. In Vietnam, in accordance with the summary of SSI securities company, the result of green bond issuance of some commercial banks and enterprises is approximately 20,000 billion dong. Notably, two Provinces in the Southeast region, Vung Tau Province and Ho Chi Minh City, have been approved by the Ministry of Finance to pilot local bond issuance, with a total amount of VND 2,500 billion to invest in projects dealing with environmental problems. Consequently, the reality proves that the development of two popular green finance solutions, namely green credit and green bonds, in Vietnam in general and especially in the Southeast Region although it has received more attention. The ministry in particular is being very modest. Other solutions have not almost been applied or are being in the experimental stage. Compared to the environmental damage from production and business activities of industrial zones and the rapid urbanization of the region, the scale and the impact of green finance solutions are being too small and underdeveloped in a synchronized manner. Proposing development solutions for the Southeast Region In addition to the achievements, green financial solutions in the Southeast Region have not been performed as expected. The development of green finance activities has not been synchronized: many difficulties and challenges are being available. Mechanisms, policies, especially the directional and regulatory role of the government, are being limited. From a theoretical overview, the analysis of the current situation and the lessons from international experiences, the authors propose some solutions to develop green finance towards sustainable development and adaptation to climate change in the Southeast Region as follows: In terms of the central government: Creating a legal framework to develop diversified and synchronous solutions on green finance listed as regulations on the disclosure of information related to the environment of listed companies; Enhancing the role of the stock market in supporting green investment; Developing Green Insurance; • Facilitating the development of the emission rights trading market. • Continuing to improve the legal framework for current solutions listed as developing green credit and green bonds towards sustainable development. • Researching and applying ESG criteria to green financial solutions. • Adjusting appropriate mechanisms and policies and taking advantage of the support of international financial institutions to encourage credit institutions to participate more in green financial policies. • Forming a Green Development Fund and mobilizing social capital through Public Private Partnership. • Strengthening international cooperation on green financial growth policy implementation and sustainable development. • Supporting local governments to develop green finance in accordance with the practical context of the regions. In terms of the local government: Actively strengthening the role of guiding and regulating green finance policies to suit the local context. Facilitating the system of local financial intermediaries to participate more in green financial solutions. Coordinating with central government and financial intermediaries in gradually applying ESG criteria to each specific project in the locality.

This is an important step to deploy the Living Lab model to solve problems on the University campus, toward a Green Campus. Living Lab Green Campus Version 2023: Efforts to solve the challenges that make waste separation at source ineffective in campuses Within the framework of UEH Green Campus Project, the UEH Green Campus Living Lab model is implemented with the important goal of building a community of lecturers and learners with a green lifestyle not only at the 13 campuses of UEH but spreading to life outside the campuses. Living Lab is understood as a model of applying technological solutions and innovation to solve problems that arise in life in accordance with the principle of taking people as the center and connecting multi-dimensional resources from different stakeholders. Accordingly, UEH’s 2023 Green Campus Regulations were just launched in July 2023, emphasizing 3 main parts: Classify waste at source into 3 types (food scraps, recyclables, residual trash) or 7 types (liquids, food scraps, metals, recycled plastics, paper, milk cartons, and residual waste), arranged depending on the specific conditions of each campus; Practice the 3R principle of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle; Practice green campus principles including: Carrying out waste removal and classification; Keeping academic spaces and the environment clean; Protecting and preserving campuses and equipment at UEH campuses; Saving resources on electric lights, air conditioning, water, and office paper; Increasing greenery at desks, offices, and living rooms; Increasing physical activities and using stairs within campuses; Choosing and using public transportation, UEH Shuttle Bus. The first priority is to effectively classify waste in the university’s campuses. Only when waste classification at source is performed correctly, will waste become a quality input for recycling and become a resource, starting a new life cycle. Afterthat, the amount of waste landfilled into the environment can be limited. With this perspective, UEH has connected with a network of partners in recycling to form a closed cycle. The closed cycle toward effective waste classification at UEH However, when practicing waste classification at source, one of the difficulties that receives the most feedback from the young community in general and students at UEH, in particular, is not knowing what type of waste needs to be thrown away and what kind of waste needed to be thrown in which box. Although there have been many diverse knowledge-sharing programs and activities, how to support the practice of quickly and effectively classifying waste at source, aiming at long-term behavioral adjustment, is still a question posed by UEH. Understanding this difficulty, UEH launched an App to support trash identification, based on artificial intelligence technology for UEHers and is open to the community for free. Notably, the App was developed by UEH lecturers. Innovative technology solution: APP supporting waste classification using AI technology, free for the community The tool, integrated into the internal UEHers App for officials and the UEH Student App, is open for free on the website https://gogreen.ueh.edu.vn/ mobile version for the  community. With only 04 steps: Take a photo of the Waste - Upload it to the application - Read the results - Classify correctly: Step 1. Take photos of trash: When there is a need to dispose trash but no idea of its type, users can take photos with their mobile phones (Note: Users need to grant permission to take photos to the application). Step 2. Upload to the app: Depending on users, they can upload the photos of trash to UEHer App, UEH Student App or Website https://gogreen.ueh.edu.vn/ mobile version (Select Tool AI Garbage Classification menu). Step 3. Read the results: After uploading the photo, in just a few seconds, the tool will read the image and return the result about types of waste in accordance with the Classification Model 3 (leftover food, recyclable,residual waste) or Model 7 (liquids, leftovers, metals, recycled plastics, paper, milk cartons and residual waste) of UEH. Step 4. Proper classification: Based on the displayed results, in the final step, users only need to put the Trash in the correct type of Trash bin. Up to this point, this is the first AI-integrated garbage identification application to be launched at a Vietnamese university. Because the training process for machine learning lacks data, some cases will be identified incorrectly, it is necessary for users to apply and to reflect more regularly the classification that is not correct so that the tool will continue to be perfected and improve its accuracy. With the spirit of innovation, toward a Sustainable University, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City wishes to connect with Universities, Organizations, Businesses, and Communities to model UEH Green Campus Living Lab. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH - emphasized: "With the serious and disciplined application of the UEH Green Campus Living Lab model at the UEH Campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and UEH Vinh Long Campus, UEH expects to bring a green and sustainable lifestyle to the entire UEHer including officials, employees, and learners. Since then, it has spread the project with a meaningful message to the community of major universities in the Ho Chi Minh City; at the same time, continuing to connect with partners in the field of green economy and circular economy, creating positive impacts on the economy, environment and society. *Further information regarding the UEH Green Campus project: After consulting the strategy of Sustainable University, Green Campus, and Circular Campus on a global scale, along with interacting with leading experts in the field of environment and waste management, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has found a model to deploy the UEH Green Campus project in the form of a Living Lab. Launched in 2021, the project is one of the important links in the University’s goal of a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University in 2021-2030. With the message "Rethink & Be Green", the project received the companionship of Trong Hieu and the mark of success when becoming the champion of the international competition "Challenge of Zero Waste City" by Waste Aid NGO and many international sponsors, with a prize worth 10,000 Euro and 06 months of professional advice from the Council of World Environmental and Circular Economy. In more than two years of establishment, the project, with many activities to spread new approaches to sustainable green living activities helping change UEHer's perceptions, receives strong responses through communication activities on digital platforms of the project as well as at the Orientation Week: “Rethink and Be Green” Podcast series; articles and videos spreading knowledge about "practice zero waste", UEHer Green Citizen MV; "Me - A Green UEHer Citizen" Handbook; The Garbage Story Creation Contest, etc. Entering 2023, with the key message of "Time for go green", the project's main activities will revolve around core pillars: Research, training, green campus and community management, with 5 main solution groups: (1) Deploy a comprehensive Living Lab: Integrating knowledge about green living, green economy, circular economy, green campus into training programs and research topics (according to the Living Lab model) for students. learners, lecturers. (2) Testing and officially operating UEH Go Green Station: UEHer will comply with the principle of waste classification at UEH Go Green Station according to the 3-type model or 7-type model located at UEH's campuses and Vinh Long Campus. (3) Promulgating Green Campus Regulations: Building awareness and practicing Green Campus for officials, employees and learners at the University and a set of rules in implementing activities at UEH toward Green Campus, listed as: practicing waste classification, practicing 3R and Green Campus principles at UEH; at the same time, clearly define the responsibilities of relevant parties, manage task assignment and implementation. (4) Community connection: Connecting with trash collection and recycling partners to organize periodic programs to exchange trash for green products, simultaneously, connecting with universities, academic partners, and experts to organize Workshops, Professional Discussions, Seminars, Competitions, etc. (5) Promoting two-way communication, empowering students to participate in implementing the program: Continuing to maintain UEH Green Day festival to spread to the student community in the city; organizing activities at the beginning of the course, workshops and seminars for education. Empower students to actively participate in projects and communicate and educate to change perceptions. Further information regardinf the project can be found at: https://gogreen.ueh.edu.vn/.

The program is specially designed following TKU's requirements to help Japanese students open up to the world and be more fluent in using English. In addition, VJYE 2023 is a testament to the ability of UEH and TKU in organizing activities that bring equality to all participants, including visually impaired student. VJYE 2023 was held with great success thanks to the careful preparation of the organizers and the enthusiastic participation of all students of the two higher institutions through cultural exchange activities, cultivating academic knowledge and international integration, towards global citizenship. Towards Global Citizenship - Catalyzing Sustainable Action - Nurturing Global Leader With the restructuring strategy to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University by 2030, UEH officially positions our focus on “Training Global Citizens – Sustainable Action”. Grasping that spirit, VJYE 2023 has integrated many activities to improve international integration capacity for Vietnamese and Japanese students, the most prominent of which is the VJYE International Student Summit 2023 on the topic "17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations". 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations - Source: Sustainable Development Goals Professor Akinori Seki giving a content orientation speech before the presentations Vietnamese - Japanese students attentively listened to the presentation Within the Vietnam - Japan International Student Summit 2023, groups of Vietnamese - Japanese students discussed each target group of 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Although still sitting in universities, however, with their social knowledge and careful preparation for the presentation, the students presented the most outstanding points about 17 sustainable development goals, assessing the actual situation of implementation in countries around the world, thereby making practical suggestions to solve the major development challenges faced by the people of Vietnam - Japan and the world. 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals were the main topics discussed in the International Student Summit Fostering Mutual Understanding Through Language Learning Sessions Within the series of activities under the VJYE 2023 program, the students of the two countries had a very useful and interesting language learning session. In this topic, Vietnamese and Japanese students were divided into small groups and alternately guided each other in pronunciation of the two countries' languages, with practice exercises such as pronunciation of each word, self-introduction, and reading the alphabet. These contents helped build the foundation for the 14-day get-together activities of the program. UEH students guide students from Tokyo Keizai University to learn Vietnamese The students divided into groups to discuss the languages of the two countries In addition, Vietnamese and Japanese students also had the opportunity to prepare together for presentations on academic topics such as: gender inequality in Vietnam and Japan, economic and social situation in Vietnam - Japan, Vietnamese and Japanese education system, etc. These academic activities have contributed to helping students improve their research and presentation skills, and also improve their understanding of the world. Participants discuss about the education systems of Vietnam and Japan TKU Student - Yasuhito gave a presentation on the topic of gender inequality Strengthening relationship between Vietnam and Japan through cultural exchange activities 2023 is the year marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan, so the organizers of VJYE 2023 designed a lot of cultural exchange activities between the students of the two countries, helping the students  understand more about the unique cultural features in each country, thereby contributing to nurture the friendship and sustainable connection between students of the two countries in particular and Vietnam - Japan in general. Throughout the program, Japanese students also had the opportunity to try on Vietnamese traditional costumes - Ao Dai. Japanese students in Vietnamese traditional costume “ao dai” In addition, traditional ethnic musical instruments are one of the cultural beauties that cannot be ignored when coming to Vietnam. The smiles and surprises on the faces of the Japanese students when they listened to and self-experienced musical instruments such as  the T-rung, Klong Put, Lithophone... left unforgettable memories for Japanese students. Japanese student - Yudai Nakata learnt how to play the gourd zither by an artist Cultural exchange event at hall B1, campus B, UEH University Vietnamese students also had the opportunity to experience Japanese cultural beauties through carefully prepared activities by students from Tokyo Keizai University, one of which is the paper folding class (Origami). Origami is derived from the two words Ori (折り) is folded and Kami (紙) is paper. Origami combines simple folding ways to turn a rectangular piece of paper (2D) into complex shapes (3D), without cutting or gluing in the folding process. Origami seems to be just a game, but it also helps you practice perseverance as well as geometric thinking ability. Students from Tokyo Keizai University teach Origami to UEH students Lovely Origami made by the students Students from both countries took picture together after the International Student Summit The program ended with appreciation from Prof. Seki and students from Tokyo Keizai University. At the closing ceremony, student Yudai of Tokyo University Keizai confided: "I used to be very scared and worried and thought it was difficult for me to go abroad because of my visual impairment”. However, the UEH- Vietnamese students helped Yudai overcome that fear and adapted easily to be able to participate in most activities during the program. The Vietnam - Japan Youth Exchange Program VJYE 2023 between UEH University and Tokyo Keizai University (TKU) is operated by students under the dedicated guidance of the Board of Directors of the College of Economics, Law and Government; Board of Directors of UEH Vinh Long Campus and the Administration Office of  the College of Economics, Law and Government.

To build a clean and beautiful university campus and to aim to be "green" in a comprehensive way, in July 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) officially issued the Regulation of Green Campus Practices for the entire campus of UEH and Vinh Long, encouraging officials, employees, learners and units relevant to practices today. UEH - Pioneering changes in the journey to build a Green University Green living is becoming a trend pursued by prestigious universities in the world: Harvard University, MIT, Cornell University, Stanford University, etc. This both helps protect the environment and motivates students - the young generation - that has a greener, healthier lifestyle, and good for the environment. In Vietnam, UEH is the pioneer university in the Green Campus Practice and is gradually making efforts to lead and spread green living values to UEHers, the community, and the society. This is the first step to be preparing for the transformation of the whole society. To be more specific, from January 1, 2025, individuals, organizations, and households that do not classify domestic solid waste at their sources will be fined for administrative violations, according to information from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. On the basis of reference and compliance with current domestic and international legal documents (United Nations Environment Program Green University Toolkit V2.0, Greening Universities Toolkit V2.0, UNEP), the relevant units, under the direction of the Board of Management, the Sustainable University Project Board and the advice of leading environmental experts, have completed and officially issued the Regulation on Green Campus Practices. The regulation has been implemented synchronously for all UEHers and related units at all campuses, dormitories of the University and Vinh Long Campus since August 2023. Details of Regulations of Green Campus Practices can be found here Regulations of Green Campus Practices: Small Actions - Big Meanings This Regulation is issued for the purpose of building awareness and practices of Green Campus for officials, employees, and learners at UEH. Besides, developing a set of rules and regulations for Green Campus is an important content in the implementation of UEH University's sustainable strategy. This Regulation consists of 5 chapters, stating general information/basic concepts, specific regulations for the Green Campus Practice at UEH, regulations for each stakeholder, management mechanism, appointment of tasks, and organization.

Facing this problem, the authors of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has conducted a study on green finance in accordance with the theoretical foundation through analyzing the current situation and lessons learned from some countries, from which, proposing relevant recommendations to promote the application of green finance policies effectively and synchronously in the Southeast region towards one sustainable development and adaptation to regional climate change. Source: Collected photo In this first part of the article, the authors introduced the concepts of “Green finance” and solutions for green finance in some countries. What is Green Finance? In recent years, green financial solutions have gradually received more attention, research and discussion. The research review indicates that many different definitions of “Green Finance” are available. According to Chowdhury et al. (2013), green finance refers to financial policies aimed at creating incentives to encourage businesses and consumers towards changing their production and consumption behaviors in a more environmental-friendly manner. More specifically, according to the European Investment Bank (2017), green finance is defined as financial services provided for economic activities to support environmental improvement and climate change mitigation and resource use more efficiently. These activities include funding, operation management and risk management of projects aimed at environmental protection, energy saving, clean energy, green transport and green building. In a general way, Green finance can be understood, according to the definition of the UNEP Program, as follows: Green finance implies the solutions towards sustainable development and climate change adaptation through products and financial services provided by financial institutions. In other words, green finance is understood to increase the level of financial flows (from banking, microcredit, insurance and investment) from diverse sources (public sector, private sector and non- profit governmental organizations) for sustainability and climate change adaptation priorities. Since then, negative environmental and social externalities are effectively resolved. Funded projects are not only geared towards profit but also create environmental benefits; concurrently, greater accountability is required. According to UNEP, Green finance solutions, compared to previous approaches, are multi-dimensional coordination between government, businesses and people as illustrated in Figure 1. In particular, the Government plays an important role in the application, the regulation and the orientation of green finance solutions in multi-ways. At the national level, public finance solutions can be promoted through changes in national regulatory frameworks, harmonization of public finance solutions and strengthening of green financial solutions from different fields. Meanwhile, the local governments play an important role in regulating the financial decision-making process of businesses, promoting the private sector to pay more attention to environmental aspects in line with the sustainable development goals of the region, increasing investment in clean sectors and green technology as well as financing a green economy based on sustainable natural resources. Figure 1: Multi-dimensional partnership to promote the development of Green finance. Source: UNEP Green finance solutions in some countries * China According to the European Investment Bank (2017), China is at an important stage of economic structural adjustment and development model transformation. Accordingly, the need for green finance to support green industries and sustainable development is constantly increasing. In general, the main green finance solutions that the country is implementing can be summarized into the following main contents as follows: • Strongly developing green credit. • Enhancing the role of the stock market in supporting green investment. • Forming a Green Development Fund and mobilizing social capital through Public & Private Partnerships (PPP). • Green Insurance Development. • Improving the emission rights trading market and develop related financial instruments. • Supporting local government initiatives to develop green finance. • Promoting International Cooperation on Green Finance. • Hedging financial risks and strengthening implementation * Korea The Korean government implements Green Finance solutions by 2018 through the Climate Change Preparedness Plan. In general, green financial solutions in Korea are promoted and developed synchronously in accordance with the following main policies: (1) Formation of funding funds for environmental protection activities The Korean government creates state environmental funds listed as the Green Climate Fund or the Environmental Protection Fund. Through these funds, the Korean Ministry of Environment grants credits for environmentally friendly industrial production listed as the development of new energy or the use of renewable energy. (2) Promoting the participation of financial institutions in green financial solutions The Korean government, besides environmental funding funds, encourages domestic and foreign commercial banks to participate in green financial solutions such as green credit support policies. Commercial banks as well as other financial institutions are involved in these solutions. For example, in 2017, the National Pension Service (NPS) invested 200 billion won in two private greeen funds (Green Private Equity Funds - PEFs) to build green domestic infrastructures listed as renewable energy power plants, waste treatment plants and so on. (3) Developing green bond market Unlike some countries, green bonds in Korea are usually not government bonds. A common type of green bond is a corporate bond, issued to the public to finance environmental or renewable energy projects. For example, in 2016, Hyundai finance company issued green bonds to finance the purchase of hybrid vehicles. (4) Creation of an emission right trading market The Korean government officially launched the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) market in 2015 with the aim of effectively reducing emissions in different sectors of the economy. * Singapore From the point of view of the Singapore government, effective green finance solutions are a combination that considers all three key involved areas: Environment, Society, and Governance (ESG). Investors and companies are paying more and more attention to ESG performance and realizing that it can have a definite impact on a company’s reputation, value, business and investments. Accordingly, Singapore, to promote this mechanism in business, focuses on the deeper integration of ESG issues into financial institutions in Singapore in order to maximize its positive impact on the environment. In the recent years, the Singapore government is promoting ESG integration within the financial sector. More research and development activities in ESG products, expanding the available green financial products and promoting the green bond market. The Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) has made strict ESG compliance mandatory for all listed companies starting from 2018. ESG can be understood as linking corporate sustainability standards with investment decisions. In various sectors, ESG criteria have emerged as one way to help investors understand and assess the resilience and long-term sustainability of investments. In general, the application of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) of the United Nations to incorporate ESG issues in Singapore's green finance policy can be generalized as follows: Table 1: Application of ESG criteria in Singapore’s green finance Accordingly, the sectors rated as high risk are agriculture, chemicals, defense, fossil fuel energy, forestry, infrastructure, mining and metals, and waste management. These industries are given special consideration upon adopting responsible financial policies regarding their business model and level of risk. In short, Green financial solutions are understood as a combination of many solutions. In order to absolutely effectively solve environmental problems, green finance solutions need to be developed synchronously. In particular, the application of ESG criteria can be a possible solution to improve the environmental efficiency of green finance and to create a foundation for the sustainable development of the Southeast region.

There is no denying that learning a language increases your employability and shows that you are a quick learner. The ability to speak another language fluently is either a requirement for some jobs or a significant advantage and many recruiters value this quality in candidates even when it does not directly relate to the position they are looking to fill. The ability to speak and write fluently opens up a variety of rewarding career options, but we should exercise caution when identifying a specific field of interest without first ensuring that we have the necessary abilities, knowledge, and experience. Language Workshop with the topic "The Mystery Of Career Prosperity For English Majors," organized by UEH English Zone and the School of Foreign Languages on August 24, 2023, with the participation of Ms. Nguyen Huynh Hong Ngoc, Master of Applied Linguistics and TESOL at Newcastle University, UK, will then allow you to access more specialized job opportunities and continue on your path. The event received a lot of attention from students who are passionate about languages Ms. Hong Ngoc, who was attending the Language Workshop for the first time, shared insightful experiences for students, participants in developing a wider perspective on career opportunities in the Language major. She shared, she has experience working with more than 25 companies and the jobs are developed thanks to her proficiency in the language. English language learners in general have always worked to improve themselves every day to seize beneficial opportunities. According to her, there are four main directions in the language industry that can be used to create career opportunities: Academic, Translation, creative jobs, and Corporate. Four major career branches of linguistics are analyzed The speaker emphasized that while language will be the starting point, students' ability to develop the necessary skills will ultimately determine success. She also discussed whether language students could be replaced by artificial intelligence at the current stage of technological development.  Nothing, she claimed, could ever program a real human to be able to take the place of people in the future. AI can never fully replace human emotions, thoughts, and qualities. For instance, when it comes to translation work, people have unique “slangs” based on their age and place of residence that only humans can use and truly comprehend. So, when comparing AI and humans, AI is just a tool to improve productivity and help people complete tasks well. However, it is an unproven and underappreciated theory that AI will eventually replace humans, particularly in the field of linguistics. Participants in the event understood the message that Language will only serve as a foundation; students' ability to develop the necessary skills during the learning process will ultimately determine success such as academic study, translation skills, international collaboration, communication, journalism, economics, commerce, and services,... Language Workshop is a monthly event that is included in the UEH English Zone's activities and covers a variety of useful subjects to help students and staff gradually develop an interest in learning language, thereby creating a habit of using and improving communication skills.

The program had the participation of nearly 60 students, former students, lecturers and managers of VNP. Vietnam - the Netherlands Program is a Master's & Doctoral program in cooperation with the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Top 2% in the world) with the mission of training high-quality human resources in the field of financial economics towards building a sustainable future, besides specialized knowledge in Economics, Finance and analytical tools, VNP's curriculum focuses on integrating knowledge of Environmental Economics, Sustainable development, Circular economy, etc. in subject content. During the past 30 years, this educational motto has been maintained and constantly developed by the VNP team, contributing to the training of generations of talented masters of economics. In the brilliant weather at the end of July, more than 50 VNP students and lecturers participated in the Dong Nai afforestation program. With a positive and energetic spirit, the VNP team quickly planted 500 indigenous trees, creating the VNP forest with dedication and pride. Cultivated species include Bang Lang, Rosemary, Chieu Lieu, Go honey, Huong, Trac Den, Lim Xet. In the future, VNP forest will contribute to protecting water security, biodiversity and responding to climate change. Dong Nai forest is a watershed forest that regulates water sources for Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces. Besides, this is home to one of the last wild elephant herds in Vietnam and many rare animals listed as Gaur, Hong Hoang, etc. To ensure the survival rate of the forest reaches 70 -80%, Gaia will conduct care, monitoring and reporting within 4 years. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trong Hoai, representative of Vietnam - the Netherlands Program - shared: “As the adage says, for 10 years of planting trees, for 100 years of cultivating people, VNP is proud to have completed a quarter of the journey of growing people and contributing to the training of human resources in the economic field, helping Vietnam's economy to be somewhat stronger. Hopefully, the forest VNP planted today will grow green and bring many positive values to the community.” Ms. Do Thi Thanh Huyen - Founder & Director of Gaia Nature Conservation Site - stated: “It is very special that Gaia is accompanied by VNP in implementing the afforestation program on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. Upon talking with VNP students and lecturers and sharing about the positive changes in the direction of sustainability and creativity of the Vietnamese economy, I feel even more optimistic. At Gaia, we cooperate with many businesses and organizations to implement many CSR and ESG activities listed as afforestation, garbage removal, workshops, seminars to contribute to creating the "green" wave of businesses. " In the afternoon, the whole group experienced "forest bathing", a restorative therapy called "Shinrin-yoku" by the Japanese. With the guidance of Ms. Huyen Do, the whole group practiced connecting with the forest with all five senses by listening to the rustling sound of the forest, smelling the cool grass and trees, and feeling the rugged solidity of the long-standing tree trunks. A wonderful experience of immersing in nature helps the whole group relax their minds, increase positive energy and love life. Along with forest bathing, the group explored the tropical dry forest and learned about the typical flora and fauna here. The journey to afforestation in Dong Nai is a special occasion to connect many generations of students once again with the sustainable values that VNP has built over the past 30 years. After the trip, the whole group felt like being recharged with improved health and happier feeling upon connecting with each other, contributing to the beautiful nature of Vietnam.

To see how psychological effects impact your learning process, this article will give a general overview of difficulties faced by learners and analyze how they can be solved. What are the barriers? Learning Languages has been considered a lifelong and arduous journey that takes time and effort. The first step is always the hardest, they said. In the early stages of learning English, learners are afraid of making mistakes and do not believe in themselves or their abilities. Furthermore, many learners place importance on what others think or look at them when they use English, becoming obsessed with people's judgment which stifles their development. Aim higher, an intermediate user is estimated to know about 6000 to 8000 words, while a proficient user knows about 20000 (Alex Darin, 2023). During this period, self-learning and active recall have been scientifically proven to aid vocabulary. Still, many learners are too lazy to recall or make a habit of self-learning actively. And procrastination is by no means the least difficult issue that language learners encounter. To tackle those problems, in this article, we will discuss 04 psychological effects that will give you a useful hand in learning languages, especially in English. Each psychological effect will help you overcome a specific problem by changing your perspective, which shapes your behavior and actions. Implementation intention effect An implementation intention is a self-adjusting strategy in the form of an “if-then plan” that not only leads to better goal attainment and helps modify habits and behaviors (Gollwitzer, P. M., & Oettingen, G. 2011). It is subordinate to the intent of the goal because it specifies when, where, and how to specify the part of the action toward the goal. In a word, Implementation intention is an efficient way to set a goal or target by specifying steps needed to achieve your goal. Proactively encouraging individuals to make plans and consider when, where and how they can act on their intentions. However, when setting a goal or developing a new habit, people generally focus only on the outcome instead of the steps needed to achieve them. Positive intentions, but often fail to act on. For instance, you have set yourself a goal to learn 500 words a month, but somehow, you are likely to procrastinate and that target becomes “hopeless”. This is where “Implementation intention” can be optimized and help you reach your goal. For the case above, after determining your goal, “500 words a month”, you have to figure out how you are going to execute it by asking yourself questions like: “How many words I can learn a day” or “When can I make time for that” and then see how efficient it is!! Galatea effect In Greek mythology, Galatea is a statue sculpted by the ancient king of Cyprus, Pygmalion. After sculpting her, Pygmalion fell in love with Galatea and prayed to the gods, asking them to bring her to life. The goddess Aphrodite answered his prayer and brought her to life, and they lived happily ever after. Originating from this story, the Galatea effect refers to the individual's belief in their abilities affecting their performance (irjmets, 2023). The galatea effect is the phenomenon whereby higher expectations lead to higher performance through self-fulfilling prophecies. The more you are confident in your ability to reach your goals, the more likely you will make them come true. Fear and self-doubt are the agonizing obstacles that we have to face to succeed, but by believing in ourselves, we automatically get rid of them. So how can we apply the Galatea effect to our English learning journey? Possibility, capacity and merit are what we have to determine. Possibility means you have to figure out goals and targets which are feasible and possible to reach and achieve, for example, a beginner shouldn’t tell himself to get a band 8.0+ IELTS in 1 month. Instead, being able to understand and use English at a basic level is what he should work towards. Then Capacity involves identifying, recognizing and promoting those skills that will eventually help us reach our goal. Different goals and different learners lead to different skills that we need to focus on. For example, “I am good at communicating and I also like making new friends so I optimize my strengths to help me learn English by making friends with native speakers via social media platforms”. And finally, Merit or self-perception, evaluate yourself and figure out who you are, what you can do, and what you deserve. If you don’t believe you can and deserve to achieve something, you probably won’t. That’s how the Galatea effect works. Spotlight effect The spotlight effect is a phenomenon in which people exaggerate how much others notice their appearance or behavior (Calderaro, 2021). When practising English or any foreign language, learners may feel anxious by overthinking whether their mistakes are embarrassing. Hence, they refuse to express themselves confidently but instead have some nervous habits like humming, ticks, accent,... This lead to a side effect of a reverse spotlight in which people fail to control these habituated gestures when focusing too much on the audience’s views (Özdem-Mertens et al., 2022). Spotlight effect illustration In general, the spotlight effect is a double-edged blade. It helps us to be self-aware of our behavioral styles of speaking languages to best perform in front of the crowd but also blinds us from our nervous habits. The best solution is to practice with your close friends or family members first and ask them about your bad gestures. Then, try to control them when nervous and practice as much as possible to get familiar with the “spotlight”. Testing effect Also known as active recall, this effect proposes that long-term memory improves when a portion of the learning time is spent retrieving information from memory (Akresh-Gonzales et al., 2015). It differs from the other general effect in that improvement occurs due to repetition or practice of task items or activities. For example, in the previous spotlight effect, learners must repeatedly speak out their ideas to habitualize a skill. In other words, we practice with the known answers occasionally. Meanwhile, no answer is provided when testing, so we must pull out the learned knowledge by ourselves. Despite the unlimited capacity of our long-term memory, we must take the stored knowledge out more often to better utilize it. Every time you retrieve information, new connections between synapses in your brain are created, strengthening and consolidating memories, allowing you to do that more easily in the future (edX, 2011). While it is said that reading material passively only supports your temporary memories and immediate tests, the activities of doing some acting testing would be useful in the long run. After studying the content and taking a practice-retention test, a learner does better on a retention test than after studying the material twice (Image from meta.vn) Nowadays, various methods can be used for learning foreign languages by applying the Testing effect. One mentioned is Flashcard which you are provided with only the terms or vocabulary. At the same time, you have to actively recall the meaning and examples of the words, making them stick to your mind longer. Besides, some applications named Kahoot, Quizlet, Quizizz, etc., provide an online platform to review your materials through testing quizzes. Combining testing with a suitable spacing effect is also a great idea for learning (Delaney et al., 2010). After reading about how some psychological effects can impact the foreign language learning process, we hope that you can relate to yourself and apply them to optimize your improvement. Procrastination, self-doubt, unconfidence and memory are four challenges that learners can overcome when appropriately applying the above-mentioned phenomenon. The tips are already in your hands, and the goal of mastering language is coming to your reach.

Keeping up with the trend of the current time, UEH believes that: More than ever, administrators and leaders in the fields of Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, and Communication need to understand so as to know how to apply Computers and Technology to majors and professions. This is also the motivation for UEH to deploy the series of "Don't go alone" Computer and Technology application knowledge series with 5 attractive parts under the participation of leading experts. Academic-and-application-oriented training at higher education, for a long time, has been separated into two separate paths. On the other hand, the reality of the society along with the emergence of the 5.0 Era has placed higher requirements on higher education or academic training that needs to ensure the applicability into the practical circumstances or that research orientations must come from the breath of life. At the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), “binding multi-disciplinary knowledge”, recently, has become an important ‘keyword’, focusing on the applicability of Technology and Computers to other fields as follows: Business, Economics, Law, Governance, Communication, Design, Data, Urban. The output of this model is the generations of human resources who ‘master technology, think globally, act locally’. With the theme “Accessing UEH’s Technology Training: From Multidisciplinary to Application, From Platform to Trend” - the 5th session of the “Don't Go Alone” Computer and Technology application knowledge series with the participation of Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang - Vice Rector of UEH College of Business, Assoc. Pham Khanh Nam - Vice Rector of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh - Vice Rector of UEH College of Technology and Design that will bring academic training approaches combined with practical applications at UEH, currently! Full discussion session from leading experts Approaching the trend of multi-major and multi-disciplinary training at UEH Dr. Bui Quang Hung: Multi-major and multi-disciplinary approaches towards solving problems and challenges as a completely appropriate approach today is both the first choice in training of most universities in the words and an innovative trend in higher education today. University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) - as a prestigious University, a key public University in the past 48 years - has always been a pioneer in innovation, changing training programs, research orientations. Since 2020, UEH has been making claims with a vision of becoming a Multi-disciplinary and Sustainable University. With the formation of 03 pillar Colleges (UEH College of Business; UEH College of Economics, Law and Government; UEH College of Technology and Design). In our training and research-oriented programs, UEH always has the integration of fields and disciplines and takes technology as the center for application to solve the current challenging problems. Currently, UEH is being oriented towards changing a lot of contents in the training program, related to technology application with the purpose of meeting the challenging issues in the context of the 4.0 and 5.0 Era. In the orientation of adjusting and developing training programs in various fields, each UEH Member College has taken steps to adjust and to be prepared how to approach the trend of multi-major and multi-disciplinary training area of ​​UEH, currently? First of all, I would like to invite Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang! Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang: Regarding UEH’s multi-major and multi-disciplinary training approach, performed at UEH College of Business (COB), we believe that building a multi-major and multi-disciplinary and transdisciplinary training program must be associated with the issue of mastering application, technology and concretization in the training programs of the University. At the current COB, two new industries that combine technology and training are as follows: Martech (Technology and Marketing) and Digital Business (Digital Business). In the Martech training program, this a combination of Technology and Marketing - or more specifically, a combination of science and digital learning with knowledge of Marketing. This program trains students to obtain the in-depth knowledge in the field of Marketing combined with applications of technology, through subjects as follows: Big data analysis, AI application in Marketing, Blockchain in business, Web interface design, etc. or subjects on digital content creation or using network data analysis, mobile applications to analyze customer experience and to use in advertising. These are integrated subjects that force learners not only to have a deep understanding of the field of Marketing but also to apply technology to work effectively. Dr. Bui Quang Hung: The phrases (like the digital economy, the digital transformation in the public sector, even AI application in law), currently, are very popular phrases. Certainly, the potential candidates are always interested in. In terms of the fields of economics, law, and government, how has the UEH School of Economics, Law and Management (CELG) prepared for the training orientation in this fields of technology application? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam: I can confirm that the current trend of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary is inevitable, especially in terms of the context of science and technology while the global digitalization process is taking place as well as the climate change is affecting each country’s activities. At CELG, we are in the process of transforming and building in accordance with the 3 pillars. The first pillar - transformation in training programs; the second pillar - transformation in scientific research together with the third pillar - transformation in relationships with businesses and external organizations. To be described in more details as follows: In terms of the first pillar of the training program, we are currently working on two big jobs. The first job is to review the entire training program of the training disciplines of the training programs in the direction of supplementing high-quality subjects, providing knowledge and skills in technology and digitization, for example: Data Science. The second job that we have been doing, are doing and will be doing more and more is to integrate technology and digital content into each subject. For example, traditional subjects that used to have 11 sessions will take 2 to 3 lessons to combine and to integrate new knowledge under the form of case-study exercises besides the presentations by other external experts related to what digitization is happening and how it’s changing the content students are learning. Going into details, related to Agribusiness, we integrate our knowledge of smart agriculture, supply chains with UEH College of Business and Digital Marketing, in other words, integrating all the knowledge concerning technology digitalization into the lectures on agribusiness for students so that they can immediately access the knowledge as well as the curent actual reality. Likewise, majors like Economics or Investment Economics that are moving to start training integrate the knowledge of the sharing economy and the platform economy so that the students know how a sharing platform economy is performs (for example: Uber, Grab, Airbnb how it works, how it is operated, how it is priced and so on). All that new knowledge will absolutely give students a whole new perspective on the economy besides the operation in the digital technology environment. Similar to the Law Major, UEH University is investing heavily in the personal data field: how the laws protect personal data or how to protect data in the context of the data volume operating in the economy. The economy is extremely large and multidimensional. In terms of the public management program, many digital technologies are applied to state management, into the state management process in order to enhance the performance of state management through the application of digital technology. This is the general overview regarding the first pillar group. In terms of the second pillar direction, CELG is investing in developing research topics that incorporate understanding the impact of technology and the digitization process on different groups of people in the economy, listed as from different businesses and production areas to different economic sectors. The third pillar is the business relationship, our College began to expand the links and the relationships with different sectors of the economy, especially focusing on businesses and companies that have technology investment, digital investment, international organizations that have departments focusing on building management mechanisms for technology and digitization and so on. Our College start to take advantage of those relationships with the purpose of creating connections besides how to bring businesses and international organizations to participate in the training and research process of UEH University. Dr. Bui Quang Hung: It is obvious that we have a very comprehensive approach related to the training process, research, access to partners, businesses, associations so that UEH is associated with practice in our training process. Ladies and Gentlemen, in 2021, in accordance with the process of restructuring UEH into a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University, UEH has established a third campus which is a very important pillar and is orienting to take UEH’s pioneering steps in the application of technology in its activities - that is UEH College of Technology and Design. Why should technology be associated with design? Why should technology be associated with art? These questions are going to be clarified by Prof. Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: For UEH College of Technology and Design (CTD), technology is the leading pillar, introduced into each subject and each activity for UEH students. Besides, other pillars are as follows: integration with art, with inspiration, with culture, with life. This is the integration of interdisciplinary (multi-disciplines), requiring UEH students to have a mindset of business, of economics, of globalization to be able to master their jobs and careers. In all training fields of UEH University, for example: Innovation, Digital Communication and Multimedia Design, Architecture and Urban Management, or Smart Cities, AI and Robots and so on, in which, technology plays an extremely important role. Nevertheless, technology that integrates from the global perspective of other fields and industries, listed as Data science, Data analytics, E-commerce or Information security and so on, has just met the trend of the world, of the labor market in Vietnam. The third pillar is to integrate technology with business, economy, management, especially creativity and innovation, towards practical solutions that contribute to the community and the society. Last but not least, the third pillar that UEH University is aiming for is UEH sustainable development, following the mission UEH has set out. In accordance with these pillars, the training program and learning environment have been carefully prepared. Regarding training programs, all CTD programs inherit as well as have the references from the Top 15-20 leading worldwide outstanding programs. All subjects in the program have a team of professors from partner schools. Currently, CTD has links with approximately 50 international Universities and those professors from these Universities are invited to lecture UEH students or to work with international students from other countries on other projects or beyond-UEH real-life projects. Lecturing UEH students from the first and the second years towards participating in practical projects will open up the opportunities for these students to use academic and professional knowledge to apply and to solve the practical problems. Regarding the learning environment, students at CTD are very active with connections with students of UEH College of Business, UEH College of Economics, Law and Government to be able to do projects or study or question together through workshops, knowledge sharing or practical activities that are exchanged to improve personal knowledge and skills as well professional ability to integrate with his/her fields. In terms of facilities, UEH University is fully equipped with a system of modern laboratories, connected with external businesses so that students have the opportunity to practice at enterprises. With full preparation as presented, I do believe that UEH College of Technology and Design will join in UEH development process upon training a generation of qualified workers with effective job opportunities. Preparation steps in the trend of UEH’s multi-major and multi-disciplinary training Dr. Bui Quang Hung: Through the recruitment consulting work in the past time, a lot of students and their parents have asked whether it is better to study technology at a technology University or at a University that teaches better technology application. Regarding this question, what are your opinions? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang: This question is asked by almost all students and their parents. What do they ask this question for? To understand that to choose one particular training University means to be selective, is it only in business knowledge or is there an integration of technology? Can technology be applied or not? Firstly, for UEH College of Business, not only are subjects continuously innovative but also integrated with technology. In addition to the Vietnamese training program, we have a training program entirely in the English medium. We have used these programs and communicated with other Universities around the world, specifically linking the program of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Northwestern Switzerland with the University of Sydney. After comparing, the professors of those universities almost agree and are happy that the two programs can combine technology subjects and technology applications in each subject, in each outline. At UEH College of Business, learners have to not only have a deep understanding of technology but also understand, grasp and apply technology in business. Make sure that the first thing is to optimize costs for the business because the top problem of all business enterprises is related to optimizing costs in competitive conditions to make a profit for the available payment to all employees. In which, graduates who want to get a good job with a high salary must equip their technology knowledge to personal application. Secondly, while recruiting, businesses consider people who study business fields, including International Business, Marketing, Commerce, Supply chain, Logistics, Management, Accounting, Finance, Tourism, Banking and so on as all these fields apply technology. When these students graduate from UEH, businesses require creativity, individual creativity and creative contributions. This creativity does not mean being stereotyped from theory; rather, the grasping the requirements related to the digital technology, the digital age. In terms of the requirement that students of economics, students of business understand business knowledge, apply technology to creativity and especially the current young people, it is found that they are very strong in this field: technology acquisition and technology application. If they have a business and economic mindset, they will push these activities into businesses very quickly. Businesses also suggest to cooperate with UEH University that UEH students can access businesses through UEH Enterprise Semester, in which they have daily access to businesses on the foundation of their established backgrounds and acquired knowledge. These students can approach and have a deep understanding of how to apply technology as well as posible and businesses also aim to bring the sustainable development to private businesses. In my opinion, currently, in terms of the application of technology in the field of business and economics in general, the fact that this is a very important need is obvious. There is a question like this “How can lecturers from UEH College of Business teach technology?”. As it is stated, the lecturers of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City are business trained and also master technology. The point is that we are not limited within our College of Business. At UEH, we have UEH School of Technology and Design, the fact that the subjects of technology and design are taught by the lecturers from UEH College of Technology and Design is an intersection, a combination of resources between the two Colleges, facilitating the sharing of extensive knowledge, specialized and multidisciplinary knowledge for UEH students to understand. Dr. Bui Quang Hung: This year is also the first year that UEH enrolls a very new major: Robot and AI. UEH is also one University that has a tradition of training in agriculture. In the opinion of Mr. Nam, what prospects does the combination of AI and agriculture have in training and providing human resources in the future? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam: I would like to extend the very insightful sharing from Mr. Trang. Technology, from my point of view, is divided into two parts: developing core technology and applying technology. The core technology development part is performed by a small group of experts. Human beings go very deeply into technology: with the current world trend, human beings open science and open source code; therefore, anyone of us can learn this core technology everywhere without being a developer. On the other hand, the second segment is the field related to the applied technology that applies to all corners of life, all industries, and this need is extremely large. From my point of view, if we go to a University, let’s learn about applied technology and learn how to apply technology; in short, UEH is one very favorable environment. Mentioning Mr. Hung’s question concerning the application of technology in the agricultural sector, the current trend shows that the contribution of agriculture to Vietnam’s GDP is getting smaller and smaller and, currently, growing in the agricultural sector as well as in the agricultural sector. The agricultural production and the business sector are shrinking because input resources have been limited both in terms of land and other input sources. Therefore, it is necessary to increase productivity by applying technology, the only way is through smart agriculture, applying technology in agriculture can help increase agricultural productivity and increase value. A very important problem that is often identified is that there is a devaluation season, there is no connection between market information, supply and demand of businesses do not meet; resulting in the situation of devaluation. Here, technology can be avoided by building market platforms in which information on agricultural product supply and demand can be met directly through information technology. It is not depending on floors, traditional markets like it used to be. This is an illustrative example of how technology will contribute to the development of the agricultural sector. Dr. Bui Quang Hung: In terms of technology field, UEH has developed very fast. Currently, we have more than 8 majors in computer and technology training: Information Security, Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Information System and so on. With the very important mission of technology to apply in all fields from business, economics, law, government and so on, what has the technology training program of UEH College of Technology and Design prepared to meet the needs of technology application in various fields? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: CTD moves forward extensively on technology training programs. Students studying at CTD will have the opportunity to work with foreign professors, international students and even study for a semester at foreign partner universities of UEH and more. Therefore, CTD students rapidly equip themselves with the ability to become a global citizen and to be able to connect with professional networks around the world. In terms of how deep the technology application is, CTD is one platform to create opportunities for students to apply with many hot subjects such as Data Science, Data Analytics, or Data Science. In those fields with a very high demand for learning around the world, we are the pioneers in inheriting and connecting international networks, connecting the career market and the business world towards the training of young people capable of becoming a global citizen. CTD students are not only active in the technology field but also integrate with other fields: they have knowledge and mindset of business, art, culture, of sustainable development with the purpose of producing creative and innovative solutions so as to meet the requirements of the reality. These are the reasons why we should choose to study these subjects at UEH. Despite being only born lately, CTD are very proud that our students have the full capacity to be able to pioneer and to lead in the innovation process. We are entering the Industrial Revolution 5.0 when the world is constantly changing as well as the unpredictable risks may occur, it is the integration of knowledge from many industries, in which, technology is a smart preparation for the future. The series of applied knowledge articles “Computer and Technology: Don't go alone” has officially ended; however, it has opened up diverse future perspectives on a super-intelligent 5.0 era and challenges await GenZ. As a national key public University, UEH, over the past 48 years, has always been a pioneer in innovation, changing its training programs and research orientations. In UEH training and research-oriented programs, there is always an integration of fields, disciplines and technology-centered for application to solve the current challenging problems. This is an article in the series of articles spreading research and applied knowledge from UEH with the “Research Contribution For All – Nghiên Cứu Vì Cộng Đồng” message, UEH cordially invites dear readers to look forward to the upcoming Knowledge Newsletter ECONOMY No. #81.

Think for a moment—even though we can still benefit from what our peers have accomplished in the classroom, do you ever feel self-conscious when you see their remarkable accomplishments? But guess what? We can still actively use this pressure to our advantage as a powerful learning motivator. Young people today frequently experience social pressure in a variety of areas, such as the choice of clothing style, accessories, and entertainment. Regarding the academic environment at universities, the majority of students find it challenging to manage peer pressure while maintaining high academic standards. They gradually become overwhelmed by their parents' expectations, their desire to fit in, and the influence of their friends, and they start to follow the crowd without understanding their true purpose. That is why at the Language Workshop with the topic “Transform peer pressure into study motivation” organized by UEH English Zone and the School of Foreign Languages on July 20, 2023, learners will be guided on how to learn from Peer pressure with participation of Mr. Mo Ayman, lecturer at TESOL International Academy. Mr. Mo Ayman shared many valuable experiences with learners on the UEH English Zone's Microsoft Teams platform, allowing attendees to have a more serious and complete view of peer pressure. According to the speaker, while peer pressure can be a powerful force, it is not a source of negative energy. Learners can fully harness the power of peer pressure and use it to motivate themselves to achieve their learning objectives by following the tips provided. He specifically begins by discussing the positive and negative effects of peer pressure, emphasizing the importance of being aware of both. Positive peer pressure can motivate students to work harder and set higher goals. Negative peer pressure, on the other hand, can lead to distraction and lack of focus in school. Breaking up your learning into manageable tasks and placing more emphasis on steps than goals, as the speaker stressed, are two ways to transform peer pressure into constructive motivation. This may make the task seem easier to complete and more doable. For instance, if you have a big test coming up, you can break it down into smaller tasks like reviewing your notes, performing practice exercises, and making a study schedule. Mr. Ayman also discussed the significance of developing a study routine, such as setting aside some time each day or each week. It is simpler to maintain motivation and focus when you make learning a habit. The other thing Master Ayman emphasizes is that you are not doing this learning alone. There are many people willing to assist you, including your friends, family, teachers, and classmates. When you need help, do not be afraid to ask for it. Occasionally, taking breaks is more crucial than continuing to study because it will keep you motivated and prevent burnout. Moving around or taking a short break can help you feel refreshed and ready to concentrate when you return to your studies. Lastly, Mr. Ayman advises students to acknowledge their own efforts by rewarding themselves. This will help you stay motivated and on track. Rewarding yourself for accomplishments is akin to telling yourself you are doing a great job. He makes the point that while comparing yourself to other people can be a strong motivator, it is important to compare yourself to your previous self and not to other people. The workshop went well and attracted a lot of interest from UEH students. Nearly two hours of questions and answers about dealing with worries brought on by peer pressure were covered during the discussion. In the online format, attendees can increase their connections and expand their opportunities to learn and improve their English. You can view a recording of the talk here. Language Workshop is a monthly event held as part of UEH English Zone activities with a variety of useful topics to aid students and staff in enhancing their language proficiency and ability to communicate in a global setting.

Keeping up with the trend of the times, UEH believes that: More than ever, administrators and leaders in the fields of Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, and Communication need to understand and know how Apply Computers and Technology to professions and professions. This is also the motivation for UEH to deploy the series of Computer and Technology “Don't go alone” application knowledge series with 5 attractive parts under the participation of leading experts. Understanding the “difficulty” of human resources in Computer and Technology and transcending the boundaries of one field, currently, Computer and Technology have become the common intersection of many fields. Besides science and technology, Computer and Technology are now needed to be emphasized from the perspective of “applied science”. Why shouldn’t Computer and Technology go alone? What are the applications of Computers and Technology in Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, Urban, Design, Communication? With the “Computer and Technology: Don’t go alone” Theme, the main part of the series of knowledge articles will bring to the community the useful sharing from the practical experience of experts in multi-fields as follows: Mr. Nguyen Manh Tan - Marketing Director, Haravan Company; Mr. Dinh Cong Chinh - Vice Director/CIO of European Cosmetics and Fashion Company (ACFC); Dr. Dinh Tien Minh - Head of Marketing Department, Faculty of International Business-Marketing, UEH School of Business; Dr. Nguyen Viet Bang - Director of Digital Business Program, Lecturer at Faculty of Management, UEH School of Business; Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen - Dean of Faculty of Law, UEH School of Economics, Law and Governance; MSc. Phan Hien - Vice Dean of Faculty of Business Information Technology, UEH School of Technology and Design; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Truong Thinh - Director of the Institute of Intelligent and Interactive Technology; under the coordination of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh - Vice President of UEH School of Technology and Design. Experts sharing the Topic “Computer and technology: Don't go alone” In case that Computer, Technology and Business pair (BizTech) Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: It can be stated that: Computer and technology have now become an intersection point, not a specific industry, academic science, computer and technology are also known purely for their application scientific aspect. When computers have technology combined with business, it will create Digital Business. How are computers and technology being applied in this industry today? What is the future development of professions in one society? What will students majoring in Digital Business learn? Mr. Nguyen Manh Tan: Computers and technology are being applied diversely in life. Currently, we can do business on the E-commerce platform. We can do online business, manage sales; we can control all our business based on a smartphone. It is the combination of technology application on a phone. How are other models? When going to the stores in the mall, you can see the connection of computers and technology list as: checking inventory, paying online and so on. The combination of computers and technology makes the more convenient and faster shopping experience. In addition, the technologies and equipment for business listed as computers and data servers that can integrate towards creating big data analysis (Big data). Those are bigger problems for businesses to apply in storing information and serving customers by personalizing business messages for the company’s customers. Therefore, Computers and Technology are increasingly penetrating deeper into the business field. We connect to the world with just one phone. Not only does it bring business growth with outstanding results but it also helps to improve customer experience as well as to connect to the network and to develop our customer network system very optimally and efficiently. Mr. Nguyen Viet Bang, PhD.: In 2022, in accordance with the statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 57 to 60 million Vietnamese people have made online purchases. The same as the last Covid wave, buying and selling activities took place entirely on the online platform. Because of this demand, UEH has developed Digital Business. UEH builds based on the foundation of technology integration of all business activities of enterprises. We provide digital platforms from finance, marketing as well as operations management and supply chain management including human resource management that are digitally integrated into subjects to equip learners with digital knowledge to run the business. In addition, UEH has provided students with more background in technology, listed as the background on Big data. This foundation on infrastructure that will help graduates have a better and more holistic view of the future from the digital business and labor infrastructure based on that platform. In case that Computers, Technology and Marketing pair (MarTech) Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: What advantages will it bring when computers and technology are being applied in the field of marketing? How will the industry change as well as the market and customers change? Mr. Dinh Cong Chinh: In the past 5 years, marketing-related technologies, called MarTech for short, have been developed very rapidly. At the forefront are completely big companies listed as Salesforce. After that, other big technology players, listed as Microsoft or Amazon, started to enter the market to provide technology tools for marketing. Business to customers, is no longer a marketing advertising story, it focuses on the story regarding how to achieve the best user experience. When users come to businesses, people can come from aspects listed as traditional offline channels to stores upon looking at street billboards or videos. In the past, when we mentioned Marketing in the traditional way, we would not be able to measure and identify the value of the money which was spent on marketing. In other words, we could not measure the ROI exactly. It was because when marketers do billboards on the street (OOH) or run ads in buildings or elevators, you could count in a very mechanical way: how many people would pass on that road or how many people would see the billboards. On the other hand, I skip one stage, obviously, how many people could identify how much money it would cost the business. In terms of digital advertising, it is clear that this cost can be measured with great accuracy: how many users, how many people interact or how many people click on those ads and how much money will be converted into the business by those clicks. Obviously, MarTech is not just going alone and making that story, it needs technology platforms listed as Big Data, Customer Data Platform - customer data platform. The fact that this will help us to be able to analyze customer behavior, to run more accurate ads can improve advertising dynamic plans so as to generate the best revenue for the company. Mr. Dinh Tien Minh, PhD.: In the last sharing from the perspective of businesses, people should also look at the businesses themselves, currently, it is applying technology in a lot of their business activities. As a result, there is no reason that from UEH perspective: as a trainer, we do not train students who, later, graduate so as to be able to keep up with businessmen’ expectations. The MarTech training program that, currently, UEH has completed and officially put into enrollment so that students will learn many blocks of knowledge which may be approached from many angles; for example, in terms of the customer experience section. This is explained by the fact that they approach selling online like that, they leave a lot of data, from which we can evaluate their experience. How will students learn to apply technology in marketing activities? From doing market research, using social networking platforms to applying technology to marketing activities. Specifically, in terms of advertising on social networking platforms, even writing articles. Even when students write articles, they write articles on social networking platforms, on websites: it is in terms of not only content but also design. From the perspective of businesses that aim to attract more users and customers, UEH will train students to do those things so that customers can interact and shop more. In terms of businesses, they expect better sales as well as business metrics. In short, with MarTech’s current training and outreach program provided by UEH, students will learn the foundational knowledge of technologies applied to marketing activities in general as well as many activities in particular regarding researching marketing, advertising, writing and designing with the purpose of closing the gap between UEH and business gradually. Besides, it depends a lot on how the teachers will teach students. For a long time, UEH as well as the Marketing industry individually has put businesses in the subjects. In other words, students have conducted projects in conjunction with businesses so that lecturers can guide students to conduct specific projects. Given the levels of curricula and the pedagocical way, I am also convinced that this gap is closing. When students graduate from UEH, businesses can use this knowledge immediately. Sharing session presenting leading experts in the field of Computer and Technology In case that Computers and Technology and Communication cooperate Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: At UEH School of Technology and Design, there is also a major called Digital Communication and Multimedia Design which is very close to the industry, MarTech. In this new major, digital communication and multimedia design is to create the generation of students who will work in the field of communication, especially digital media, you will know how to design a publication product in the media. Students can apply new technologies, listed as AR, VR, virtual reality and augmented reality. This is the technology that can be used prr apply AI to design or to use Big Data. These technologies are introduced so that learners can effectively implement programs and projects operated in the field of digital communication, connecting fields from art to technology to guide them so as to innovative solutions in communication, from the activities of companies specializing in the media and event organization or television. The introduction of technology and computers into technology design platforms for application in industries has been focused at UEH in the previous time. In case that Computer, Technology, Logistics merge Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: In the recent times, we have also heard about globalization as well as its values ​​in the world. The global supply chain was broken somewhere during the pandemic; curently, this supply chain is being gradually restored and connected. When we can apply technology in this industry, this will be a very large market segment, opening up many opportunities for students. What is the potential for Logtech development in the future? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Truong Thinh: Logtech is the first industry at UEH that trains engineers. This is one of the two majors that train engineers at UEH. Nowadays, all professions have to embed technology and especially in the digital age, all problems are related to technology. Regarding Logtech and Logistics in the past, all Universities in Vietnam mostly focused on supply chain management, especially, how to manage the Logistics system. For the Logtech Industry at UEH’s School of Technology and Design, we focus on training engineers who can design, operate and control as well as deliver ideas in supply chains. How can these supply chains be accomplished in the best way? To achieve the added value, we will give the students the knowledge, especially the new knowledge, the new approach, the most modern, listed as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, IoT, electricity Cloud computing, Big data. We provide you with this knowledge so that you can supplement your logistics knowledge, from this foundation, a solid knowledge base can be created. Currently, there are many businesses that need personnel in this industry and UEH is the only University in Vietnam that trains engineers in the Logtech industry. In case that Computers, Technology and Law cooperate Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: It wil be difficult for the Law industry to apply technology because the legal system has also been built stably and firmly. How will the application of technology in the law industry open up a future market. What are its development potentials? Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen: From a legal perspective, we look at technology in two stories. The first story is that we, as being behind the scenes, support and continue to review legal stories that may arise in the process of technology development. The process of technology development can influence human rights stories involving secrecy, individuality and privacy secrecy. Upon considering those stories from a legal research perspective, we will have to find ways to limit the negative impacts on people and human rights. Consequently, it has a legal field called LawTech as the study of legal issues that serve technology. The legal issues for technology have been studied many times as follows: information technology law, electronic transaction law and so on. These laws are to serve the technological life and to create favorable conditions for the promotion of developing techology activities in general and digital business activities in particular. Businessmen should do personal business in the way that does not infringe on people’ legitimate rights and interests. That second angle is the time to be delivered. We are legal service providers. In the process of providing legal services, stories arise so that we needed technology to support our legal service activities. That’s what we call Law Tech, or, providing legal services. It will encounter a series of problems. For example, applying AI to make judicial judgments means predicting what the outcome of a lawsuit will be or how consultants should suggest upon being asked for advices? Technology is applied in both the private and public sectors. You can hear stories of online juristical trials. How are the series of stories: enabling the judge to be able to make decisions. One of the extremely important contents is electronic evidence. Does this series of business activities and transactions leave evidence? Is that evidence enough to be presented in court? In terms of evidence collection, which technological requirements are required? How to decipher the evidence? All of these concerns help to provide reliable evidences for the judge to make absolutely fair decisions. In case that Computers, Technology, Agribusiness, Finance - Banking cooperate Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: As a multidisciplinary University, UEH, in addition to Business, Economics, Law and State Administration, trains technology, design, computing and agribusiness. Currently, how will the application of technology in the field of agriculture be a new and potential category? MSc. Phan Hien: Agriculture, Technology and Computers that are gradually bringing various benefits. Specifically, the technological activities as follows: IoT devices in monitoring the farming and working process as well as automatic devices with human control does lead to the increased agricultural productivity. Because of this, it is possible that many careers in technology and IoT or in automatic control devices will benefit greatly. Concurrently, after agricultural products can be yielded, the remaining problem is how to push this to the market. A second branch of technology, being very popular, is E-commerce. It will help us push agricultural products to market in a new way, not like every tradition. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: What is your viewpoint regarding the field of Finance - Banking? How will technology and computers be applied in information security and customer asset management? MSc. Phan Hien: Mentioning finance, almost everyone knows about the popularity of the Economics and Finance majors trained by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). However, in the recent times with the emergence of specific new concepts listed as virtual money and digital assets, it has led to a series of ways for people to control this value. A variety of other methods has been able to handle it better. Finance is where the tech industry is getting into. When it comes to financial markets, it is referring to other problems in traditional transactions and people are more modernized. In Vietnam, currently, I mostly talk about finance as people are holding a lot of a very popular field, that is, electronic payment. These are the areas that, currently, Vietnam and most Technology Universities are aiming to push technology in these areas. In case that Computers, Technology, Robots and Artificial Intelligence are combined Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: How will robotics and artificial intelligence (engineering systems) meet current human resource needs? Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Truong Thinh: Like LogTech, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are the engineering training majors of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). All UEH lecturers are aware that robotic artificial intelligence is the foundation of the 4.0 Revolution. We are talking about the main characters, specifically, robots and artificial intelligence. We have inherited and developed based on foreign training programs. We have built a lot of features for Vietnam as well as in the Asian region so that students can access knowledge as well as the latest information in the region and the world. Actually, the current robotics and artificial intelligence industry in Vietnam is only being lectured at 3 or 4 training Institutions. However, we have the advantage that UEH is being very strong in terms of business and economics. Artificial intelligence is the brain that handles the problem; on the other hand, the tasks of implementation and performance do require robotic systems and automation systems. UEH and businesses with a close relationship with UEH School of Technology and Design have developed this program. This field of study will be the highlight of UEH to be able to enter a new era - the digital era towards building a modern society. In case that Computers, Technology and Management Information Systems merge Assoc.Prof.Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh: What training will the UEH Information Security Industry provide? Which feature makes this new major stand out from the training programs at other Universities? MSc. Phan Hien: Regarding this industry code, people think it is a completely pure field of technology as almost students will be interested in one technology-specific training institute. However, students should reframe the issue in terms of this modern time. I take information security as an example: it is refered to as a branch of engineering math. The truth is that if a person working in information security, in practical terms when entering an enterprise, lacks knowledge of business processes or knowledge of the actual operation of such an enterprise, he/she does not know where the problem lies to be sure whether the information is accurate. This leads to a new aspect that we will be able to combine a person with technology knowledge; concurrently, having a very good knowledge regarding business processes and organization operation. It will help information security personnel to step into a new field right now. Concurrently, data science as well as computer science is one of the newer developments. We are doing new things; actually, the main purpose is to serve people, to serve business activities and organizations operating in this life. Therefore, what people perform must show applicability and reasonable use in an organization and in a system. Because of this reality, there will be groups of applied sciences born. Students majoring in Information Security, Information Technology, and Computer Science receive specialized training in technology; concurrently, gaining additional knowledge from the field of economics, organization and administration so that students can bring this in-depth knowledge to serve the society in an appropriate way. In short, Assoc. Dr. Trinh Thuy Anh concluded that:“We are being in the 4.0 Revolution when IoT, Data Analytics as well as AI are taking over the mainstream. We are also preparing for the steps into the Industrial Revolution 5.0. A super-smart society will increasingly develop towards sustainable development, in which human beings are the focus of development. We will know how to master technology and to develop harmoniously in human-machine relationships. Technology as well as computers is not only a pillar on which we develop; rather, a harmonious relationship needs to be considered. Human beings, artistic issues and socio-cultural issues as well as being relevant in many transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary professions are the central issues. These will be the key ideas for innovative solutions towards solving all problems in a multi-dimensional and multi-modal viewpoint.” This is an article in the series of articles spreading research and applied knowledge from UEH with the “Research Contribution For All – Nghiên Cứu Vì Cộng Đồng” message, UEH cordially invites dear readers to watch the upcoming Newsletter DIGITAL ECONOMY #80.

This trend may disrupt the labor market as artificial intelligence is gradually replacing human labor in the economy upon automation in various fields and stages, resulting in the consequence that millions of workers around the world fall into unemployment. This is as one factor that directly affect the trend of developing digital human resources, especially in today’s businesses. Issues regarding digital human resource development within the situation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution In the economic structure, human resources have a dialectical relationship with the production means. The more the economy develops, the higher the requirements for the quality and the qualifications of human resources become. Moreover, people are not merely an element of the production and business process; rather, a valuable resource of organizations and enterprises. Enterprises move from saving labor costs for cost reduction to investing in digital human resources for a more competitive advantage and efficiency with higher profits. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the fundamental condition and foundation for the economy to transform strongly from a broad-based growth model (based on resources and low-cost labor) to a model of in-depth growth (based on the knowledge economy, digital economy and high-tech labor) (1). In order to successfully transform Vietnam’s economy to a digital economy, it is necessary to have digital human resources - the main force to deploy and realize the digital economy - that decide the existence of the digital economy with the capacity to master digital technology devices and to be operated in the production, business and other activities of the economy. From a macro perspective, the digital economy is mainly in accordance with thedigital technologies, in which economic activities use digital information and digital knowledge as the main production factor. However, any country in the development process towards a digital economy is a long process and digital transformation on the national level at different degrees. From a micro perspective, in accordance with management theory, an enterprise’s infrastructure includes four important factors: human, processes, organizational structure and technology. When one of those 4 factors changes, the other factors will be affected and altered, creating a new equilibrium for the business. In terms of the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital human resources - one of the four important components that will change a lot – is to focus on some core changes as follows: Firstly, human resource management relies on technology and efficiency. HR professionals integrate HR functions faster, acting directly alongside functions in operations. The interconnected work model using information technology has blurred the line between the physical office and where the work actually takes place. Digital human resources focus more on specialized high-value-added work groups. Businesses are in the process of replacing jobs, reducing human resources by using digital technology, integrating technologies (from email, instant messaging and enterprise social media tools to HR applications and virtual meeting tools); consequently, human resource management must be based on digital technology. The organizational structure of the enterprise’s personnel tends to be more open and shared. The relationship between enterprises and employees will change from being legally binding (under the form of a contract) to being binding on a commitment concerning working performance and the principle titled ‘sharing work, sharing profit’. It is explainable because technology allows to measure, to calculate and to identify specifically the contribution between businesses and employees in the actual time. Secondly, quantifying human resource work and trending building big data. Problems in human resources have been difficult to be quantified through data listed as employee engagement, development ability, and job satisfaction. Currently, through big data and digital technologies, businesses can digitize these issues. Thirdly, this is being the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) application. Along with big data is artificial intelligence in digital human resource management. AI combined with big data will replace human resources, listed as recruitment, evaluation, training, development and employee engagement. AI helps HR professionals focus on work with greater added value. In a digitally equipped HR team, administrators can manage the uploads and downloads of complex data packages that accompany talent assessments and reward decisions in a fully automated process. AI can also oversee the screening of internship and graduate applicants through online numerical, logical, and cultural tests in a consistent, efficient manner. The status of digital human resource management in the current Vietnamese enterprises Calculated until July 31, 2022, Vietnam has a population of more than 99 million people, ranking 15th in the world and 3rd in Southeast Asia. The working-age workforce in 2021 is estimated at 50.5 million people. Laborers who have been trained at elementary level or higher in 2021 are estimated at 13.1 million people, accounting for 26.1%, up 0.8 % points higher than that of the previous year (2). This is one of the favorable conditions of Vietnam during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The number of human resources is large and abundant while the quality of Vietnam’s digitally trained human resources can be considered as strengths. Among more than 13 million human resources with primary vocational training or higher, more than 5 million people obtain university degrees or higher, accounting for 44%. This is an important factor for Vietnamese human resources to transform and to adapt to digital technology. On the other hand, developing countries are facing some challenges upon approaching the Fourth Industrial Revolution, namely the shortage of skilled digital human resources. In accordance with the data in the Report on Readiness for Future Manufacturing 2018 of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Vietnam ranks in the last group in terms ranking highly-skilled workers, 81 out of 100, after Thailand and the Philippines in the group of ASEAN countries (4). To be more specific, the current situation of digital human resource management of Vietnamese enterprises in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is as follows: In terms of human resource planning: Very few enterprises make long-term human resource planning. Moreover, in the human resource development strategy, the determination of labor surplus or shortage needs to consider both the micro-perspective in parts of the enterprise and the macro-perspective on human resources within the local, regional and national scopes. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected economic development, production and business activities of enterprises and employees. In accordance with the survey results, in 2021, 52.66% of enterprises have unchanged employees compared to the fact that, in 2019, 13.19% of enterprises witness the increase in employees and 34.15% of enterprises face the decrease in employees. In which, enterprises applying forms for employees to take time off and alternate leave accounted for 31.77%, employees with salary deferred accounted for 31.43%, employees on temporary leave without pay accounted for 7.94% and 28.86% of employees quit or lost their jobs. Facing difficulties caused by the impact of the epidemic, businesses have changed their business methods and applied some response solutions listed as: 26.69% of enterprises tend to seek new product consumption markets; 23.89% of enterprises changed services and products supplied to the market; 22.09% of enterprises apply e-commerce in production and business activities; 15.42% of enterprises seek new input material markets and 11.91% of enterprises invest in equipment and technology (5). Therefore, human resource planning is mainly short-term, not focusing on the long-term. In terms of job analysis: Enterprises in Vietnam carry out the construction of job positions and job analysis. Each enterprise has its own templates for drafting job descriptions, including main contents listed as: Job title; Name of the in-charge Department; Supervisor’s name; Brief job description; Job completion standards and so on. Nevertheless, the current job analysis of enterprises is mainly carried out by the Unit Heads. In the current digital technology era, the human resource management department can apply AI in performing job analysis, both ensuring objectivity and optimizing work efficiency. In terms of human resource recruitment: Digital human resource management, currently, is to perspective that job seekers and employers register on business websites or job search sites. Therefore, the recruitment of workers sometimes does not guarantee the right employment to meet the needs of the employer. Moreover, because the recruitment process of many enterprises is not associated with evaluation and learning and often performed by a department or group, many cases of selection do not completely meet the requirements. Therefore, the recruitment needs to be combined with a technical parameter box to filter resumes, both simplifying the recruitment process and easily selecting the human resources that meet the requirements of the employer. In terms of job performance evaluation: Most enterprises use the scoring method, however, the evaluation criteria, often being subjective, are not based on the job description. Currently, very few enterprises apply the assessment of superiors by employees. This will reduce the objectivity in the evaluation, resulting in the fact that many managers are unwilling to learn and to innovate themselves. In order to develop digital human resources, it is necessary to manage human resource information so that enterprises can know the causes and the cases of job change and leave, thereby, solving the root of the problem, improving the work attitude and working quality of employees. In terms of training and retraining: Currently, the training and the improvement regarding working skills and personal skills for employees to keep up with the development of science and technology are being isolated and fragmented in enterprises. There has been no training and development strategy associated with specific visions and goals; actually, mainly only investing in improving senior managers’ and experts’ qualifications. Regarding the training for technicians and workers, it is mainly self-training or workers have to improve their skills by themselves. The efficiency of the use and the management of human resources in Vietnamese enterprises has been being low, unable to meet the rapid development of the economy as well as the current requirements concerning using human resources. The fact that human resources obtain University degrees or higher accounting for 44% of the total number of human resources in Vietnam is an important factor for Vietnamese human resources to transform and to adapt to digital technology (Image: UEH) Some solutions to promote the development of digital human resources for the current Vietnam Firstly, enterprises need to set up a human resource apparatus adapted to high technology, especially at the senior management level. Enterprises need to promote the use of employee management software to administer and to assign work to prevent cross-work and to help business managers control and assign tasks simply, quickly, accurately and efficiently. Secondly, pay morre attention to talent selection. In addition to professional capacity, talents must have an open vision and be ready to integrate and communicate in multi-modalities. It is necessary to have a recruitment process that takes “interpretation of integration” action in parallel with the professional probation assessment, listed as contacting the probationers for “interviews”, monitoring during the 2-month probationary period to value how they have understood and felt about the business, listening to their thoughts to add to the values ​​of the enterprise. If they understand something in the wrong way or have any questions, it is an opportunity to help them understand and behave better. Through an integration test to ensure that employees have an acceptable understanding of the enterprise, culture, core values ​​and business ethics standards to have the right mindset and attitude. If a probationary employee achieves professional qualifications but fails to pass the integration awareness assessment, the human resources department has the right to propose the leader to extend the probationary period in accordance with the Labor Law. This is an opportunity to “correct mistakes” for the initial recruitment to ensure that: ‘recruitment’ means ‘to find’ the right resources with the right skills, professional knowledge and attitudes suitable for the business. Thirdly, develop internal personnel training. Enterprises need to improve the training and the development of internal digital human resources. This issue, currently being focused by many businesses, is considered a factor to improve competitiveness. Enterprises are willing to invest cost and time for this work by sending personnel to study domestically and internationally to improve professional qualifications and management capacity. Many businesses invite an independent consultant or advisor to train key staff towards directly acquiring knowledge and practical ways to apply to the organization’s activities. In addition, enterprises must identify key employment positions, backup people and select suitable successors to have a specific action plan and to build a succession team. Fourthly, improve the way of “keeping people”. Recruitment, training and developments towards digital human resources in enterprises cannot avoid risks. Therefore, in parallel with this work, enterprises need to improve reasonable human resource policies to maintain employee quantity and quality. Therefore, in addition to maintaining good welfare regimes, enterprises need to form a reasonable decentralization and authorization system so that management levels can be autonomous in their work, thereby, helping leaders have more time for strategic planning while still being able to control the operation. In the long run, it can be directed to the division of profits and share ownership among employees to align personal interests with the interests of the organization. Fifthly, automate the mechanism for digital human resource development. With the advantage of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, enterprises need to apply the values ​​of technology in an effective manner. This means that businesses need to automate digital human resource management. Digital human resource development software brings comprehensive management solutions to businesses, making the enterprise’s human resource management process easy and highly effective, reducing costs and task execution time; especially helping leaders quickly make the right decisions related to personnel.

However, rather than offering a foundation for young people to lay out for themselves, those platforms have somewhat framed the definition of self-development in activities like exercise or reading books. This inevitably leads to young people feeling perplexed and lost on the path to finding and growing as individuals. So what is the basis of Self-Improvement? We can easily find content containing the keyword "Self-Improvement" while browsing websites like Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, and others. It seems to have evolved into an ideology, a way of life that advocates for personal success. However, Finding information that covers the fundamentals of self-development can be challenging. Understanding this reality, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) organized an EZ Career Talk on July 6, 2023, with Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Human Resources Partner at United Overseas Bank Vietnam with the theme "From Fixed to Growth: Transforming Your Mindset". Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien delivered the message and addressed the questions of many young people during the sharing session. She said that changing your mindset is the most crucial step in creating the best personal development path for you. Throughout the program, the speaker examined and contrasted the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset in all facets of life. Additionally, she uses real-world examples and examples from her own life to illustrate how both of these ways of thinking affect people. When you constantly frame yourself in particular scenarios and conceptions, you refuse to acknowledge and address your flaws. It is believed that this way of thinking severely restricts personal development. A growth mindset, on the other hand, enables individuals to realize their full potential, alter their viewpoint through the acceptance of constructive criticism and suggestions about themselves, and then use that as a catalyst for further development. Throughout the program, there were insightful and productive conversations. The hybrid workshop of “From Fixed to Growth: Transforming Your Mindset” was successfully organized with the participation of nearly 200 UEH students, had the chance to put their newly acquired knowledge into practice in a fun environment that was infused with a learning spirit and active participation from the attendees. Through exercises for both groups and individuals, the speaker helped participants alter their thinking. In the hybrid form of a combination of face-to-face and online, UEH English Zone increased connections and expanded opportunities to learn for the UEH community. In order to help students get ready for a multicultural workplace, EZ Career Talk focuses on communication skills and essential career skills with professionals in the field as part of periodic activities.

Nguyen Van Kien - Project Manager, HAPRI Research Leader, Senior Researcher of University of New England; Dr. Phouvin Phousavanh - Representative of the National University of Laos research team; Dr. Kim Chhin SOK - Representative of the Royal University of Phnom Penh research group. There were also representatives of Universities and Research Institutes in the country; professional associations in the provinces of pangasius farming and processing; companies that produce, process, feed, and provide services in the pangasius chain; pangasius farming cooperatives; and guests as scholars interested in the project. Overview of the conference The project “Food loss in the Pangasius Catfish Value Chain of the Mekong River Basin”, funded by the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), the Canadian International Development Research Center (IDRC), was approved by the Ministry of Education and Training under Decision No. 2426/QD -BGDDT dated August 26, 2022. The project’s governing affiliation is the Ministry of Education and Training; The project owner is the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. The proposed Unit is the Health and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (HAPRI). The project implementation period is 3 years, from April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The project is part of the newly established Food Loss Program of ACIAR and IDRC. The first phase of this program identifies new challenges, potentials and opportunities impacting future food availability. The second phase plans and implements research projects that address the challenges of smallholder farmers in developing countries. The objective of the project is to raise awareness concerning food loss and waste, resulting in facilitating private-sector investment in reducing food loss and waste of pangasius in the Mekong River Basin of Vietnam. The project will bring practical values to the beneficiaries as follows: Speaking at the opening of the conference, Dr. Dinh Cong Khai - Vice President of UEH – stated: “As a national key Public University, with nearly 48 years of experience and restructuring to become a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has always recognized the responsibility to contribute to the sustainable development of society. In addition to the mission of training high-quality human resources for the country, UEH has constantly promoted research, project implementation, and regional development consultation. The project “Food loss in the Pangasius Catfish Value Chain of the Mekong River Basin” is one of the important research projects that UEH is carrying out for the Mekong Delta region in particular, and the country in general. Finding ways to increase productivity and output for smallholder farmers while minimizing food loss at the post-harvest stages helps increase the competitiveness of the food value chain, particularly pangasius in Vietnam. This topic is extremely relevant in countries where food storage facilities are lacking, transportation infrastructure is limited, and access to post-harvest technologies is limited. While there have been many studies on post-harvest losses, few studies are being conducted in developing countries, including Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Therefore, I believe that this research project will bring practical effects to the development of Vietnam’s agricultural industry." Dr. Dinh Cong Khai - Vice President of UEH - delivering the opening speech at the conference Within the framework of the program, two sessions were held, including: The announcement ceremony of the launch of the research project “Food loss in the pangasius catfish value chain in the Mekong River Basin” and an internal conference between the project’s member countries on the topic “Food Loss among the countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion”. Diverse important contents were shared: Ms. Eleanor Dean - General Director, Communication and Capacity Building Program of ACIAR - speaking at the conference Assoc.Prof.Dr. Vo Tat Thang speaking at the Conference Dr. Tran Dinh Luan - Director of the Vietnam Fisheries Department - speaking at the conference In the afternoon of the same day, the researchers participated in independent discussion sessions on four (04) key questions of the project including: Current losses and wastes occurring in the value chain. What is the treatment of pangasius in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos? What are the main causes of food loss and waste in the pangasius catfish  value chain in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos? How can women and men be empowered and improve their participation/livelihood/food security through interventions in the value chain? What interventions or innovations can effectively support the pangasius catfish value chain to reduce food loss and waste now and in the future? Research experts participating in independent discussion sessions The success of the international conference initiating the research project “Food loss in the pangasius catfish value chain in the Mekong River Basin” will lay the foundation for the project’s in-depth research activities, addressing farmers’ challenges and unlocking new potential for future food sources. This is the social responsibility of a public university, and the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) is always honored and responsible for contributing to this sustainable development.

Truong Truc Phuong had worked hard for many years to earn her degree, a long journey of constant ascent, a journey that will inspire anyone who hears about it to overcome life's challenges. Always hold on to your beautiful dreams Nearly 4 years ago, Truc Phuong was well-known for her portrayal of a cheerful student. She became a new student majoring in Business Information System at UEH University through her effort and extraordinary energy. Truc Phuong had to leave her hometown of Dak Lak for a time, but she brought with her the desire to learn and experience new things, as well as the love and support of family and friends. The inconveniences caused by transverse myelitis do not appear to have dampened this girl's spirit. When asked about her future goals, Truc Phuong stated that she hopes one day to be able to help her parents and family. A simple dream but contains incredibly beautiful thoughts. “I simply aspire to secure a job in my preferred field upon graduating. Primarily, this is to ensure my well-being, and I wish to be capable of supporting my parents as well” Truc Phuong shared graciously. From Adversity to Achievement Upon entering the university environment, Truc Phuong faced numerous challenges, ranging from the transition to a new living situation. However, her astute character, coupled with the unwavering encouragement and support from her family, school, and friends, helped her navigate through these obstacles with grace. For nearly 4 years, her father moved from Dak Lak to Ho Chi Minh City to help and give her motivation to attend University. Truc Phuong's father shared: “On graduation day, our family felt immense happiness and pride as we saw the rewards of her efforts starting to come to fruition". Truc Phuong, along with her close friend who had been accompanying her throughout high school, decided to pursue the same major at UEH. The moments whenever they attend lectures together and face challenges hand in hand are heartwarming for educators, professors, and peers at UEH. They have proven to be reliable companions throughout this academic journey. The future is always bright for those who don't give up Truc Phuong's UEH journey came to an end at the graduation ceremony, and a new path was now open, one filled with many goals and aspirations. During the graduation ceremony, Truc Phuong shared, “I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to my families, friends, and teachers who have supported us throughout this journey. However, I must admit that amidst this sense of accomplishment, I also have some regrets because today is the day I graduated from UEH and became an alumnus. Someday, I hope to return to UEH and award scholarships to students in need, just as I did when I needed the support of the UEH community to help motivate me to continue my learning journey.” Leaving the university premises represents the gateway to an expansive future, recognizing that challenges may persist, yet happiness will grace those who don't give up. Truc Phuong now has a full-time job at a company in the field of technology, the exact specialty she has always desired. Quote from Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH at the Graduation Ceremony: “Persistent effort is an apt description of the 48-year journey of UEH, and it can be said that it forms the DNA, the genetic code of each UEHer. Today, as you graduate, you'll explore many career paths, but I believe that UEH's DNA has been and will remain with you in every journey and challenge”. New bachelor Truc Phuong has been writing her brave journey. Hopefully, the knowledge and skills she gained at UEH will help her succeed in the future and inspire future generations of students.

Keeping up with the trend of the times, UEH does believe that: More than ever, administrators and leaders in the fields of Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, and Communication need to understand and to know how Apply Computers and Technology to their majors and professions. This is the motivation for UEH to deploy application knowledge series of Computer and “Don't go alone” Technology comprising 5 attractive parts thanks to the participation of the leading experts. Experts sharing the topic ‘Obstacles of human resources regarding Computer and Technology” The rapid progress in the technology era has created difficulties for human resources in the field of Computer and Technology, especially when technical personnel have little understanding of business and professional personnel know nothing abou technology. This challenge is one of the barriers to digital transformation in an organization. The question is what exactly are those challenges? With the topic “Obstacles regarding human resources in Computer and Technology”, Part 3 of the application knowledge series of Computer and “Don't go alone” Technology will bring readers practical sharing from experienced experts in many fields as follows: Mr. Ngo Van Toan - Chairman of BTZ Group; Dr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh - Senior Consultant of Kaspersky Lab VN; Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh Quan - Director of Smart Solution Center, FPT IS Company; Mr. Phi Anh Tuan - Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association; under the coordination of Dr. Thai Kim Phung - Vice President of UEH College of Technology and Design. The demand for Computer and Information Technology human resources will be increasing greatly in the upcoming time Thai Kim Phung: Dear Mr. Phi Anh Tuan as Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Informatics Association, what is your pointview regarding the current labor market situation in terms of the field of computers and Information Technology (IT) in Vietnam as well as in the world? Mr. Phi Anh Tuan: From the perspective of Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association, we would like to present some overall assessments as follows: Firstly, the IT workforce is continuing to grow, especially in international outsourcing companies. Another need is that young people have been starting their own businesses in international environments, no longer in Vietnam. Secondly, the number of officials, employees and employees of the end-user units (for example: businesses and organizations) is increasing. Why is it so high? Because of the fact that the needs of Vietnam’s National Digital Transformation program are very detailed and quantifiable, the program provides the concept or indicators of digital management for public agencies. Thirdly, it is the issue regarding the management of the digital economy, in other words, how businesses can increase labor productivity with information technology. Last but not least, the digital society should aim at serving people who can receive as many IT achievements as possible. The asessment from Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association is as follows: (1) In terms of the new graduatee force, very high professional expertises are being trained; (2) In terms of the internal forces of enterprises, they need to be trained in technology knowledge in addition to business knowledge so as to increase competitiveness and business efficiency. In short, the demand for Computer and Information Technology human resources will be increasing greatly in the coming time. One of the points that should be considered is that: if training is separated between the information technology sector and the professional industry (listed as Economics, Marketing or other fields), there will be a gap between the two sides. In other words, information technology students graduate very well but lack professional knowledge. On the contrary, many of you, like economics students, do not have the initial equipment in terms of system, technology application, especially the speed of change in technology which is becoming higher and higher like nowadays. Sharing session from leading experts in the field of Computer and Technology The current challenges towards human resource in Technology and Computer Thai Kim Phung: With the sharing by Mr. Phi Anh Tuan, a clear picture of the human resource needs of the computer and information technology fields in Vietnam as well as in the world has been presented. The upcoming questions is for Mr. Ngo Van Toan - Chairman of BTZ Group, one of the leading technology experts in Vietnam. Previously, the field of technology and computers was associated with the technical environment. What is the current challenge for these personnel? Are there any difficulties for the personnel you have recruited? Mr. Ngo Van Toan: Discussing the challenges of human resources in the field of information technology, there is the variety of angles for us to consider. I will temporarily divide them into two as follows: those as the new graduates and those with experiences at specialized and expert levels. In terms of information technology, Vietnam is one of the countries that are internationally evaluated as rather strong and well developed. Nevertheless, we cannot be complacent; rather, we must be aware that there exist challenges. Students and recent graduates face the challenge of limited practical skills. This means that the reference program for foreign programs is rather good; the point is that many graduates lack practical skills is a concern that universities, curently, are coordinating with businesses to gradually narrow this down. The second point we can recognize is that the characteristics of information technology industries is the completely high integration capacity compared to that of other industries. As a result, English ability is a very important thing, it is easy to identify that many very young persons or/and small startups who have made international connections occupy good development related to not only the technical matters but also the business of raising capital. If you work in foreign companies or foreign projects, English ability is very important. Honestly speaking, this is one difficult point not only for fresh graduates but also for those who have been working for many years. Compared to the situation of 10 years ago, the current situation is much better. In terms of the second layer, information technology is not simply a science and technology; actually, it is an industry - a powerful industry. As an industry, it must be confirmed that products towards reaching the customers must go through a lot of stages, not just technical work. We have witnessed that: a lot of products, startups and companies have tried their best but ended up bankruptcy or failing because these products couldn’t get to market. Information technology is identified as an industry as it will have a full range of roles from understanding customer needs, marketing, sales, supply chain, etc. to how to finally get to the market. With an industry that includes all these stages, technical problems are only part of it. This leads to the situation that: even if we are new to school or have long experience, linking the entire value chain mentioned above is being our limitation. Do we make products not only for the satisfaction of making products, the point is, ultimately, anyone uses them? Do their customers know thée products? Do they use it? As a result, it involves a lot of knowledge and expertise in business. If we do not have the basic knowledge of economics, as well as finance, we will not be able to make a true product and bring it to the market, I think this is the challenge in general. The sharing session being lively The role of information technology towards running a business Thai Kim Phung: Mr. Ngo Van Toan shared the difficulties in the field of computers and IT very clearly. It implies both engineering and a powerful industry; in addition to very in-depth technical knowledge, we need to have certain knowledge related to this application field to offer products that meet the needs of the market. The next question is: What is the role of information technology in operating a business? Please give the floor to Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh Quan - Director of Smart Solution Center, FPT IS Company. Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh Quan: Information Technology plays an increasingly important role, becoming an indispensable component in the management of a business. Information technology or technology both help businesses and promote the existing values ​​of the business, for example, IT can help improve performance, improve management capacity, business capacity of enterprises. Applying ERP solutions for human resource management, automated solutions, warehouse management, etc., will help the business activities of the unit become better with less time and lower fee. In addition, IT makes it easier for businesses to connect with customers. Never can a business can deliver a message to customers as simply as today. We have social networks, we have chat, OTP/OTT solutions (technologies of authentication methods) that are able to deliver messages to customers, it helps the business get better and better. In addition, IT helps businesses discover new values ​​that have never been available to businesses in the past. For example, when applying information technology Big data, big data analysis, AI, Machine Learning, businesses can exploit the rich data sources that businesses already have during their operations. After that, these data will become extremely valuable. This value will become the sustainable value of the company, shareholders and each employee in the business. Another point to be mentioned, technology can be stated to be a big component promoting innovation in businesses. Technology is the limitless inspiration for creativity. Here, technology will help employees and managers with new solutions, new services that provide new values ​​for customers. This will open up new business lines for customers. A remarkable point, businesses, in terms of the future labor markets, will only focus on recruiting employees with technology capabilities. It can be affirmed that technologies take away jobs. In fact, in the past, technology did replace us. Machines used to replace workers. The workers who are to be replaced here refer to those workers who do not know how to use machines. Computer Internet used to replace the employee. With the development of technology, students - those who are preparing to join the labor process - should actively equip themselves with technological knowledge to prepare for technological advancements that are not to replace us in the future. Thai Kim Phung: Thank you Mr. Quan - an expert from FPT Information System Joint Stock Company – is currently working as the Director of the Smart Solution Center. He has shares related to the role of IT applications in business activities. In addition to the current operational roles, information technology creates new values, especially promoting the innovation process in businesses. Besides, he mentioned that: when we put technology into the system, it is likely that personnel and some related departments will decrease. The personnel involved in the application areas listed as finance, sales and marketing personnel. In the current context, how is the access to technology? Do they need to update their technological knowledge? This question is especially for Mr. Phi Anh Tuan who can help the seminar answer more questions regarding personnel. How will they access technology? How is the application speed? Mr. Phi Anh Tuan: I think that the story that we have to learn, have to approach new technologies is a naturally continuous thing in a business operation life. In this story, we have to identify first and that personnel department also has to identify it, too. I take an example that: if it changes very quickly, in accordance with the flow that Mr. Quan just shared before, the warehouse management business we are doing is very normal. Nevertheless, while we are following, it is difficult for businesses to start moving because the management for online sales is completely different from that of the traditional warehouse. Warehouse management was formerly a warehouse for goods, packaging, and production processing within the enterprise. On the other hand, the warehouse for e-commerce is being very different. In other words, at that time, the items were small, in large number, closed continuously, running continuously to be promptly delivered to the other staffs and online sellers, here I did not use the term ‘businesses’ anymore. We have to admit that the transition is very powerful and we have to get used to the mobile apps. We have to get used to it, when we go to inventory does not meam that we are coming to the warehouse anymore, we just use the code or use the iPad to check. That implies the involvement of technology in the management process. For those of you who are studying in a professional way, I think that we have to train the basic operating principles of the business. It is imperative that students have an understanding of technology trends in their professions. However, everything has a downside. If we depend a lot on technology, it is to lose our ability to handle situations. For example, GPT Chat, all students, even high school students, can learn more about one certain major more conveniently. However, dealing with situations in the business process is a skill that means that: when you approach, you must apply technology in your work to exploit all the knowledge that you already have on the Internet. The second is data processing skills so that we can solve all situations well. Those who grasp both issues like those, I believe they always have deserving positions in the corporate organization. The needs regarding Information security and job positions Thai Kim Phung: Thank you, Mr. Tuan. The service department has to stay on top of technology trends to get the job performed better. The digital transformation process is associated with the application of technology in businesses. Upon mentioning computers or information technology, we are facing a lot of information security problems. A question to Mr. Ngo Tuan Vu Khanh - one of the senior consultants of KasperSky lab Vietnam is your pointview regarding the need for information security in factories, enterprises and enterprises as well as the job positions concerning information security? Mr. Ngo Tuan Vu Khanh: Before answering Mr. Phung’s question, I would like to give some data to demonstrate Vietnam’s human resources. Firstly, in accordance with the international organization for information security and the world’s leading security companies, listed as Kaspersky in Asia Pacific, there is currently a shortage of approximately 2 million information security professionals. In Vietnam, in accordance with the statistics from the Information Security Department under the Ministry of Communications in 2021-2022, currently, there is approximately from 50,000 to 60,000 employees in information security. However, the number needed for the rapid development of technology in recent years, the Information Security Department notes the number at 700,000. From this, the need for 700,000 information security personnel is to be paid attention. However, the fact that the current market is only 50,000 is a huge missing number. The information above is mainly centering the core data. In terms of the practical situation, during the implementation of information technology systems and mass information security in Vietnam and Indochina, some completely important points must be presented as follows: Being as an absolutely concerning situation, it is a completely high-quality human resource as well as a human resource spread in the information security industries in Vietnam. Most of the problems of information security risks, even those of targeted attacks, come from human resources, not from technology. This is the most dangerous problem due to the variety of solutions in terms of information security and cryptographic solutions. On the other hand, the operator of that solution is being in shortage, especially human resources in the so-called information security disciplines, all of whom think that information security and security is a specific industry of information technology. Although it is assumed that information technology is inherently special, information security is specialized, too. In accordance with this specificity, one of those characteristics is human resources. To some extent, human information security plays a key role, not technology. This feature is quite surprising to some of the audience. In addition, the recent technology trends favor centralized management which is often called as Cybersecurity Operations Monitoring Center. In order to establish a network security monitoring and operating center with tens of thousands of users, the need to understand how to operate a business (business operation) or as a domain expert is very important regarding the problem of information preservation and security upon building one Cybersecurity Monitoring and Operations Center. The reason is that we do not understand how the business exists from sales, marketing, If the warehouse and finance cannot assess the risks, we can never do the story of ensuring safety concerning the Network Monitoring and Operation Center. In addition, one more point directly related to the issue of people is businesses and information security. That is to say, Kaspersky recently reported that Vietnam is the leading country in terms of number of scams, or fraudulent calls. Vietnam is the leader in fraud in Southeast Asia and Asia - Pacific. Obviously, we are having a huge problem of awareness security. This reflects that the current information security industry is lacking human resources. At this time being, there is a gap between information technology human resources and big business without a single harmony between the two. This situation results from the fact that it is not safe to believe without a knowledge of the business, exactly the same to the situation that we are scammed. Thai Kim Phung: Mr. Khanh has introduced a relatively clear view concerning information security personnels who are both technical personnel and must have a great understanding of people, management processes. Similar to the specialized field of Information Technology, we are required to update and supplement knowledge related to business and operations in addition to the knowledge related to technology. Currently, with the rapid development of technology, there is a huge shortage of human resources in Vietnam in general and internationally, especially in terms of quantity and quality. In addition to technical and technical expertise, those who are trained in machinery and IT need to have certain knowledge related to the application field. This is an advice for the training institutions to think, to consider and to adapt their training programs so as to be able to adapt to the current labor market related to the field of computers and information technology.

The workshop attracted the enthusiastic participation of director of training programs. Notably, the workshop received valuable contributions from experts of the Fulbright Scholar program. The key speaker was Dr. Lesly Goh, World Bank Group Senior Technology Advisor; Cambridge Judge Business School Fellow, NUS Lee Kuan Yew Public Policy Senior Fellow, Fulbright Expert, Board Member of Government Technology Agency of Singapore. On the side of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, there was the participation of Dr. Dinh Cong Khai - Vice president of UEH, Assoc. Pham Khanh Nam - Associate Rector of College of Economics, Law and Government, Deans and Vice Deans of many UEH training units. The workshop was implemented in the form of an interactive dialogue, encouraging active participation and effective discussions among all attendees. The workshop, which lasted for over two hours, yielded several significant points that should be taken into consideration during the revision and development of curricula. These key points are as follows: The university could design new courses and new programs that specifically focused on Technology 4.0 and the digital economy, covering topics such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and e-commerce. The integration of technology 4.0 and digital economy into curricula can involve adding modules, case studies, or projects that address the application and implications of emerging technologies. The integration of technology and the digital economy into curricula should include not only technical aspects but also social and human dimensions. UEH can incorporate modules or courses that address the ethical, legal, and social implications of technology 4.0. It can also explore topics like privacy, algorithmic bias, digital divide, and the impact of technology on society, ensuring students develop a well-rounded understanding of the digital landscape. UEH should infuse digital skills, data culture and computational thinking by embedding digital skills and computational thinking training throughout the curricula, ensuring that students acquire essential competencies such as data analysis, coding, information literacy, and digital communication. It is necessary to establish a roadmap for the integration of technology and the digital economy into the existing programs. Collaborating with industry and international organizations is of utmost importance as these partnerships will play a crucial role in ensuring the success of the integration efforts. UEH should establish partnerships with industry organizations to provide real-world exposure and experiential learning opportunities for students. This can include internships, industry-led projects, guest lectures, or industry-sponsored competitions. The university should develop a comprehensive plan for the training of trainers and provide continuous professional development. UEH should offer faculty and staff training programs to enhance their knowledge and skills in technology 4.0. This will ensure they are well-equipped to deliver high-quality education and keep pace with rapid technological advancements. UEH should promote entrepreneurial mindset and innovation culture by integrating entrepreneurship courses, start-up incubators, and innovation centers into the curricula. The university should encourage students to develop and implement technology-based business ideas. At the end of the workshop, Dr. Lesly introduced many materials and open resources to be shared with participants. Training program directors also actively booked working schedules with the Fulbright specialists to discuss more details.

Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a global mental health crisis, exacerbating both short and long-term stress and destroying the mental health of millions. Having aware of this situation, as well as understanding the stressful environment when having to take exams, study and keep up with social connections of students, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) has organized a practical seminar with the topic of " Enhancing the ability to identify and take care of mental health" for students and learners from all departments at UEH University. With the guidance of Dr. Pham Minh Triet - Ph.D. student at the School of Psychological Research - Australian National University, students and learners can understand and distinguish psychological and psychiatric concepts as well as get acquainted with some initial psychological instabilities from the beginning. Dr. Pham Minh Triet turned psychological conditions into a much simpler, more accessible concept for students and learners – traffic lights. There are color levels from green to yellow and finally red that represent mental status that ranges from calm, relaxed to very abnormal and unable to do anything. Just like when going out on the street, you should only "run" when the light is green. When it turns yellow, it might be time to slow down and reconsider your mental health. Finally, when you reach red, it is time to stop. This is a concept that students should be familiar with to understand and care for their own health as well as seek help and attention when needed. Color shades that show the psychological state of people The speaker also mentioned the rate of common health problems among Vietnamese students taken from a survey in 2016, nearly 70% of interviewed students claimed to have problems with anxiety disorders, much higher than the social average rate of 14.9%. Students and learners participating in the seminar were also enriched with knowledge about the behaviors of the body when stressed, the causes of stress and analyzed two types of good stress (Eustress) and bad stress (Distress) that often occur through very common situations in daily life such as:  conflicts with roommates, troubles with parents, deteriorating health, unsatisfactory grades, etc. On top of that, attendees also have access to the term "specific fear disorder" of objects or special situations such as snakes or heights. The speaker also provided practical examples for attendees to analyze and better understand their condition and symptoms. After the presentation, participants actively took part in answering interactive questions and were thoroughly answered by speaker about issues that learners are interested in. The seminar has successfully ended and received a lot of attention from UEH learners who are having concerns about psychological and mental health. The seminar lasted more than two hours with a professional, focused and interactive atmosphere from students and learners. Attendees were also given practical and brief reminders from Dr. Pham Minh Triet to summarize the presentation and help people take better care of themselves not only physically but also mentally. Simple preventive actions that learners can practice every day. The workshop created a safe and supportive environment where students can learn and develop skills in identifying basic mental health issues, as well as knowing how to take care for themself and others, spot out mental health factors, risks and seek for appropriate solutions. In the future, DSA will reach out to experts and organize more events of many fields so as to accompany students in developing comprehensively on their journey at UEH.

Keeping up with the trend of the times, UEH does believe that: More than ever, administrators and leaders in the fields of Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, and Communication need to understand and know how apply Computers and Technology in his/her professions and majors. This is the motivation for UEH to deploy the series of Computer and Technology application knowledge series “Don't go alone” with 5 attractive parts in accordance with the participation of the leading experts. Super-intelligent Era 5.0 – “The rise of a series of super technologies” – “Enhancing human-machine interaction” – “human-centered” Possessing approximately 30 years of experience in the field of human resource management in multinational companies and more than 15 years as a Human Resources Director, Mr. Bui Quang Vinh gave Gen Z the folloiwng advices regarding 02 skill groups: Technical skill Team associated with business and soft skill Team in part 2 of the series regarding Computer and Technology application knowledge series titled "Don't go alone". Mr. Bui Quang Vinh - HR expert - presenting the theme Portrait of Gen Z version 5.0: Main Workforce of Super-Smart Society Technology 5.0 refers to a new trend in the way that we interact with technology, in which humans and machines cooperate in a relatively natural and synchronous manner. To be ready for Technology 5.0, Gen Z should consider the following skills: Specialized Technical Skill Group Technical skillset for Gen Z in the 5.0 Period *Programming skills Programming skills are one of the most important skills in the era of technology 5.0. Understanding programming will help you understand how systems work and interact with them. Learning to program is learning how to put into a computer for the purpose of how to solve problems together with the inherent computing and storage power of computers. The computer will follow the instructions exactly; therefore, learning programming is the way to train logical thinking, very good problem-solving skills for users. In the future, information technology and computer applications will be present anywhere in any job. Programming skills will gradually become essential skills, all jobs in one society will require candidates to have a certain understanding of programming. *Data management skills With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices, data management becomes an important factor. IoT creates a network of links between physical objects so that they can exchange information and perform tasks without human intervention. IoT devices can communicate and interact with each other to collect data, to transmit information and to perform actions. Examples of IoT applications could be smart home systems (where devices listed as lights, air conditioners, security cameras and audio systems) can be controlled remotely via smartphones. In the medical field, IoT can be used to monitor the patients’ health and transmit the information to medical facilities. In industry, IoT can be applied to monitor and to control manufacturing processes, to enhance efficiency and to save energy. Gen Z should learn to understand and to manage data effectively to take advantage of the opportunities and to face the challenges of technology 5.0. *Skills in data analysis and artificial intelligence With the increasing ability to integrate data and artificial intelligence into 5.0 technology systems, Gen Z should be able to understand and to apply the basic concepts regarding analyzing data and artificial intelligence. Through analyzed business data, we can optimize business operations, including assessing current business models, identifying the most effective ways in delivering products, assigning jobs, transferring personnel, planning costs and so on. Soft Skill Group Gen Z’ Soft Skills Group needs to be equipped as follows: *Critical and creative thinking skills Technology 5.0 requires critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. Gen Z needs to learn to ask questions, to find creative solutions, and to think to face new challenges. Critical thinkers are often able to: • Understand the logical coherence between points of view; • Identify, develop and evaluate arguments; • Find common inconsistencies and errors in reasoning; • Solve problem systematically; • Identify the relevance and the importance of ideas; • Consider the reasoning and the correctness in other people’ opinions and beliefs. Critical thinking does not simply imply the information accumulation. Good critical thinkers are able to infer consequences from what they know and to use the information to solve problems and to find relevant sources of information so as to increase their understanding of one problem or one subject. Don’t confuse critical thinking with arguing or criticizing others. While critical thinking skills can be used to point out the shortcomings and the mistakes in arguments, these skills play an important role in creating sound and constructive arguments. Critical thinking helps us to acquire knowledge, to increase our understanding of known theories, to strengthen our reasoning and to improve our efficiency in work and problem solving. *Communication and cooperation skills In the 5.0 technology environment, the ability to communicate effectively and to work in a team becomes an important factor. Gen Z should develop communication skills in addition to the ability to work in teams and to cooperate with machines and other people. The world has been promoting the application of new technologies. In 2022, an estimated 85% of global enterprises tend to expand the application of big data technology. Similarly, there is a large percentage of businesses that expand the application of technologies listed as the Internet of Things, markets that support Web applications, cloud computing, virtual reality and so on. The lack of cooperation skills with machines will be the barriers to Gen Z’ career progression. *Multilingual and multicultural skills With the technological development, the world becomes more and more connected. Gen Z needs to be able to work and to communicate in a multilingual and multicultural environment. Some cultures have a very distinctive way of behaving, which might be considered as an inappropriate behavior or an insult in another culture. Each culture has different strengths and weaknesses. One crucial thing during communication in a multicultural environment is that participants need to adapt to the environment. Gen Z’ soft skills group needs to be equipped as follows *Time management skill and flexible thinking Along with the rapid pace of technology development, Gen Z needs to be able to manage time effectively and to adapt towards the rapid changes in the work environment. Without good time management skills, you will waste your own time and affect many others. Consequently, you need to clearly define the important work, to prioritize to complete it before the deadline or to avoid overload. Gen Z needs to know how to apply their knowledge, skills, and experience to their work to bring better results. You must apply it to collect, to analyze and to use information, to make decisions, and to collaborate with others for the purpose of solving problems, contributing ideas, and improving yourself. *Security and privacy protection skills With the rise of personal data and privacy issues, Gen Z needs to understand the fundamental knowledge of Internet security and privacy. Each individual’s right to privacy is recognized and protected by the constitution: any act that violates privacy rights must be held accountable in accordance with the law. Therefore, Gen Z needs to master all these regulations so as to avoid troubles affecting their work in progress. In response to technology 5.0, Gen Z should develop a combination of technical skills, creative thinking, interoperability and soft skills.

The lecture has attracted the attention of many professors, experts, lecturers and students of UEH University. Sustainable development, first mentioned in the 1987 Brundtland Report, is the solution to balancing the priorities of addressing economic, social, and environmental issues on a global scale. Considered the "heart" of the 2030 Sustainable Development Program, the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call on both developing and developed countries to work together towards this important objective. In order to provide a comprehensive view of sustainable development and promote sustainable thinking and action within the community, the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City collaborated with Yonsei University in Korea to organize a public lecture by Professor Tae Yong Jung on the topic of Sustainable Development and Environment. The event had the participation of Dr. Bui Quang Hung (UEH Vice President), Assoc. Prof. Pham Khanh Nam (Rector of College of Economics, Law and Government), Dr. Park Young June (Honorary Rector of College of Technology and Design UEH), Dr. Trinh Tu Anh (Director of Institute of Smart City and Management), Dr. Yi Dong Su (Vice Dean, School of Media Design), together with professors, experts, lecturers and students from UEH University and Yonsei University. Dr. Bui Quang Hung gave opening remarks The expert's points of view about environment and sustainable development Prof. Tae Yong Jung is an expert with many years experience in Sustainable Development, especially in Carbon Neutrality, Green Growth, etc. Currently, he is the professor at Yonsei University (Korea), member of the International Cooperation Sub-Committee, Presidential Council on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth, and a Board Member of the International Economic Association. In addition, he is the author of Major Published Reports, more than 360 research Papers/Workshops/Seminars, and more than 23 Books/Chapters. In the lecture, based on the current problems that Vietnam has to confront, Prof. Tae Yong Jung mentioned the suggestions and especially attentive points of 17 Sustainable development goals. Moreover, he shared about the Zero Waste Campus - one of the iconic programs of University of Economics (HCMC) relating to sustainable action. Prof. Tae Tae Yong Jung share about the key definitions A comprehensive sustainable Development strategy that need to find out As a developing country, Vietnam has faced many challenges to achieve its goal of sustainable development. However, the situation in Vietnam is not the same with Korea, Japan or the United States. The problems that Vietnam has to face now are not only confined to the national problems, but also global issues, especially those related to climate change, natural disasters and the environment. Therefore, the sequential problem-solving approach that these countries have followed will not be a comprehensive solution. This has posed an urgent requirement for a new way of thinking, a new model of solutions specifically for Vietnam in this new era. This new model should be focused on existing needs and environmental protection at the same time as economic development. In other words, positive and practical approaches are needed to ensure three factors: economics, society and environment. Prof. Tae Yong Jung shared about Sustainable Development and Environment Besides, based on statistics from many reports, social problems are increasing. Covid-19 has made income imbalance a global problem. However, for developing countries like Vietnam, income inequality is just one of the dilemmas that need to be faced. Other problems include climate change, natural disasters, heavy reliance on climate-prone sectors and low adaptability. Aware of the above issues, a strategy of drastic and strong action on a global scale needs to be implemented quickly to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In that, we need to pay attention to a new development direction revolving around quality of life rather than quantitative indicators. This is an important factor to ensure the rhythm of economic development, environmental and social protection. Whole view of the events 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals: The future we want In addition to the Millennium Development Goals for developing countries, with the aim to suggest a comprehensive and transparent intergovernmental process for all stakeholders, towards unifying the sustainable development goals across the globe, the United Nations has brought 17 Sustainable Development Goals and related agreements of countries to the United Nations Rio +20 Conference in June 2012. Prof. Tae Yong Jung shared about 17 sustainable development goals Mention it, GS. Tae Yong Jung specifically mentioned two agreements on the characteristics that plans towards the SDGs should satisfy. First, these strategies must all put the element of action on first priority, and implementation activities must revolve around this factor. One example of this is UEH's Zero Waste Campus Campaign, an activity where the involvement of faculty, staff and students plays an integral role in the success and impact of the campaign. In addition, the agreement that policies should be based on scientific research is also important for sustainability strategies. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) help fulfill the requirements for a campaign that represents the future the world wants. In particular, the first 5 goals are devoted to solving pressing problems in society, including poverty, health, education and gender equality. The remaining goals address the environment, economic development and revolve around the relationship of cooperation and connectivity between communities and countries. One of the goals that Prof. Tae Yong Jung has focused on is goal number 10 on ensuring sustainable consumption and production. According to him, producing sustainable and green products is not as difficult as ensuring customers' awareness and demand for sustainable consumption. This very demand will also make a big contribution to promoting sustainable production. The audience asked prof. Tae Yong Jung questions At the end of the lecture, Prof. Tae Yong Jung received many questions from the audience. He gave detailed and comprehensive answers to the questions. The professor also believes that Vietnam will determine the right direction and come up with an appropriate strategy towards sustainable development and the environment very soon. Prof. Tae Yong Jung answers the questions With the sharing deduced from the research and practical experience of Prof. Tae Yong Jung, the attendees had a better understanding of the existing difficulties that the sustainable development strategy needs to solve, along with important notes and explanations related to the solutions for the sustainable development, especially on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Attendees can fully apply these valuable shares to the establishment of a plan towards sustainable development, as well as determine the criteria to evaluate the output results of this plan.

Keeping up with the trend of the times, UEH does believe that: It is this moment that administrators and leaders in the fields of Business, Economics, Law, State Management, Data, and Communication need to understand and know how Apply Computering and Technology to majors and professions. This is the motivation for UEH to deploy the series of Computer and Technology application knowledge series “Don't go alone” with 5 attractive parts with the participation of leading experts. Super-intelligent era 5.0 - “The rise of a series of super technologies” - “Improving human-machine interaction” - “Human-centered” In Part 1 – “Our Future: Super-Smart Era 5.0”, Mr. Vuong Bao Long - Vice President of LogiGear Vietnam, an experienced expert in the field of technology and knowledgeable towards the technology market in Vietnam - shared further information regarding the concept of super-smart era 5.0, the current situation of the world and Vietnam as well as the opportunities and the challenges that have been awaiting. Many countries around the world have been trying to come up with the most appropriate definition concerning Society 5.0. Diversely different definitions have been recorded; nevertheless, the most prominent, up to the present time, is introduced by the Japanese definition. This country believes that: The super-intelligent Era or Society 5.0 is a human-centered society, in accordance with the information technology to serve people’ needs towards the most harmonious, beautiful, safe and comfortable society for people, supporting human development in the most comprehensive way while leaving no one behind. This, up to the current time, has been the most general and closest definition regarding the super-intelligence Era or Society 5.0. We need to distinguish between Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0. We have been through four Industrial ages: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0. From steam engines, from mechanical machines, to textile machines to electrical power, to electronic and computer automation, and to information technology (including GPS, CPS, IoT systems, computer networks, AI and so on). At this time being, all of us are going to enter a new era, an era in which most of the vehicles, large and small systems around us are integrated on the foundation of advancement of technology science and information technology. The current state of the world In 2016, the Japanese government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe launched a project to orient Japanese society towards the year 2030 with the purpose of assessing the development rate as well as the development level of one child-oriented Japanese society, to be particular: at what level is one Japanese person? Since then, Japan has established a Digital Initiative Committee and developed a strategy for building a Smart society 5.0. This country has positioned itself as a “Super-Smart Society” country in 2030. This is the slogan and the orientation for Japan nation to develop with the goal of becoming a super-smart country by 2030. Singapore orients and positions itself as a smart nation in accordance with 3 main pillars: Digital Economy, Digital Government and Digital Society. Next is India which positions itself as a digital nation – one Digital India. Prime Minister of India Modi stated that he aimed to develop India into a digital nation so as to serve the development needs and to boost the innovation capacity of his 1.3-billion-people nation. A small Nordic country - called Estonia - is the country that has been also moving towards digitization and positioning itself as one Digital Nation. Estonia nation was the first country in the world is widely recognized as having successfully eradicated digital literacy and digitization for the entire population. 98% of their population has an electronic ID card - electronic identity, 99% of their states work and provide public services online, 95% of tax returns are filed and processed online and 99% of banking transactions are conducted electronically entirely. Vietnam has not introduced one specific slogan, a clear slogan representing one digital country. However, we have positioned ourselves as a country moving towards the strong digital economy by 2030. Also, the vision to 2045 consists the key trends that we think that Vietnam itself can inherit. In which, it must be mentioned the impact of digital technology, the impact of export markets, the development of modern digital infrastructure, the development of smart cities, the increase of digital skills, the increase of digital services and the changes in consumer behaviors. It can be recognized that our future may have 4 scenarios until 2045. In case of the traditional scenario, Vietnam’s digital economy, annually, can contribute 196 billion USD to the total GDP. In case of the digital export scenario, we can reach over 331 billion USD if our export is performed well. In case of the consumption scenario, we boost the consumer economy, which can reach a GDP of 216 billion USD plus from the digital economy. Additionally, the best scenario is the comprehensive digital transformation scenario, we can achieve GDP up to 544 billion USD. To have a closer view of this comparison, Vietnam’s current GDP in 2022 is estimated less than 400 billion USD. By 2030, Vietnam will position ourselves to become one of the developed countries with a total income, at that time, was approximately 18 to 20 thousand USD in Gross Domestic Product. GDP contributed from the digital economy is more than 500 billion USD, which is one-fourth of the Gross National Product and an extremely impressive number. Challenges and opportunities of the 5.0 Era To move towards a Digital Economy, a Smart Society and Super-Smart 5.0 Era, it is a necessity to face certain challenges. The first challenge is uncertainty, listed as: Natural, social, war, disaster, and disease-like uncertainty. We need to have more proactive and radical solutions as well as adaptive, appropriate and timely changes along with very rapid and strong changes in terms of the field of technology, especially information technology. Recently, it can be affirmed that the birth of Chat GPT is one of the signs of breakthrough changes in information technology that machines and AI can do for humans in many ways. If the ethical aspect of Chat GPT is ignored, it can be stated that this is an extremely powerful tool that legislators in developed countries have taken strong measures to limit it, at least especially in the current period. In other words, this is the time of chaos and cyber attacks. In addition, huge risks are available when we scale and connect large and complex systems. Once it has been attacked, these damages will be extremely large and can disrupt social activities, too. Resources (listed as social resources, natural resources, cyber resources) become increasingly scarce. The use, the utilization and the recycling of these resources is a challenge for humanity and poses a lot of problems for us to consider. Besides challenges, there appear countless opportunities for development: for the state, for businesses and for each of us. The first opportunity, Vietnam is in the Top 3 Countries with the best startup ecosystem in Southeast Asia, especially in E-commerce, fin-tech, health-tech, edu-tech. Vietnam is in the Top 10 of the population that use smartphones and 63% of the population use smartphones to interact in the market, that is, to purchase buying and selling activities in cyberspace. If calculated only in 3 big cities (Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City and Hanoi Capital), more than 75% of adults use smartphones and more than 83% of Vietnamese households have an Internet connection. All of these are the necessary infrastructure and connectivity conditions towards promoting the digital economy and promoting the building of a 5.0 society. Diverse opportunities from super-smart Era 5.0 awaiting for GenZ These above factors do open up career opportunities for future GenZ generations. Science and big data are urgently in need of experts, data scientists, data analysts, actuaries and algorithm experts to develop big data in accordance with the above processing methods: AI artificial intelligence platform, the learning bots and chat bots like the appearance of Chat GPT. In addition, we have witnessed from-small-to-large chaos and large-scale cyber attacks. This is an opportunity to identify that the demand for security and information security in cyberspace is much larger. Many serious cyber attacks have happened. From 2017 to 2022, only in the field of Cryptocurrency - or the digital currency - three countries in the world were attacked the most by the dark forces and a lot of digital currencies was taken away. The first country to be attacked the most is Japan, the second country that is attacked the most and loses the most digital currency is Vietnam, and the third is the United States. From 2017 to 2022, due to the cyber attacks, Japan, Vietnam and the US lost approximately 817 billion, 534 billion and 525 billion USD, respectively. In the recent time, two emerging trends from AI are: Data Science and Cyber ​​Security. In addition to other traditional developments in the information technology industry from programming, software testing, solution consulting, digital transformation consulting and system and software design help digital transformation in corporate, national, government, electronic, individual consumer and institutions (including higher education institutions), secondary and primary schools. Cyber ​​Security has become one of the most sought after and most used services in various fields from banking, healthcare, health tech to government agencies and public services. Speaking of Data Science, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Quan Thanh Tho (University of Science and Technology - Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City) stated: “When the Machine learning and AI parts are mature, 80% of the factors determining the success of the system are dependent upon the data processing ability, i.e. data science”. This statement indicates the importance of data science and data analytics as well as the professionals that the information technology industry will desperately need in the coming era. What is more crucial, upon mentioning the Cyber ​​Security market, in accordance with the statistics of the Vietnam information security market report in 2022, the size of the information security industry is forecasted by industry groups, especially banking industry and finance industry. Banks and government account for 41%, of which, especially, the banking industry accounts for the largest proportion, approximately 25%. Approximately 15% of the annual growth of this industry is in accordance with the forecast for the period from the current time to 2028. All the above information provides one brief and concise information regarding our future - an era of super-intelligence, comprising some definitions, challenges and opportunities for us to consider. Hopefully, this sharing will help GenZ friends to make the right choices and to be in line with the development trend. Concurrently, each GenZ individual can have the appropriate orientation in choosing his/her right career. On the one hand, this can contribute to the development of the era, the era and the digital economy of Vietnam. Besides, it is possible through new tendencies, developments, and trends so as to take full advantage of the opportunities that the information technology industry as well as the super-smart era, the future of the digital age has been bringing.

And for good reason, a clear and native-like accent greatly improves communication and comprehension. Each country has their own specific accent problems, and Vietnam is no exception. It takes work and effort to learn English, but not all work and effort is equal.  Any road will eventually lead to Rome, but there are short, long, accessible, and difficult roads, and people must have perseverance to keep moving forward in order to reach Rome. No matter what path you are on, learning English is the same, but if you find a good method and a motivating learning process, it will help you go faster and more easily. Understanding the significance of language learning, on June 21, 2023, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA), in partnership with the School of Foreign Languages of UEH, held a workshop on "How to address VietNamese accent deficiencies" as part of periodic activities at the UEH English Zone with the Speaker: Mr. Stephen Williams, a lecturer from the English Department at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Mr. Williams will present and coach attendees to perfect pronunciation using a specially designed system tailored to the most common language deficiencies that affect Vietnam. By focusing on the missing elements, great progress can be obtained within a short period. By focusing on what's missing, participants will see definite improvement in their accent and speaking confidence. Efficiency is key, Mr. Stephen said, offering advice to students who have learned English before and those who are just getting started. To quickly improve, let us begin with the simplest task. Continuous learning and deep information chains that produce measurable outcomes and progress engage and inspire learners to continue on their journey. The more noticeable the improvement, the stronger the motivation and the more "confident" in the learner's demeanor. And the first key to successful language learning is confidence. The relationship between improvement and confidence is highlighted in Mr. Stephen's 4 tips. Knowing what we are wondering about is necessary before we can come up with a solution. In order for people to have an intuitive, straightforward perspective to compare and contrast in order to learn and understand themselves better, Mr. Stephen guided the participants through the common flaws in the Vietnamese accent. The pronunciation of Vietnamese and English is similar or the same due to the overlap of many sound positions. Apart from that, there are also sound positions in English that are absent. Due to the similarities between Vietnamese and English, we should focus more on the missing sounds when learning than we would if we tried to practice all the sound positions.  In addition, we Vietnamese frequently run into recurring issues like the  final consonants. This is also quite understandable considering that in Vietnamese, we do not pronounce the final consonant. But as you well know, omitting or swallowing the final consonants will quickly result in a great deal of misunderstandings. Because it is challenging for listeners to comprehend or understand when the final sound is missed or mispronounced in English.  Because of the disparity between Vietnamese and English's usage patterns and habits, many learners struggle with the proper placement of nouns and adjectives as well as how to use prepositions correctly (Adjectives typically come before nouns in Vietnamese, whereas this is not the case in English, etc). List of phonemes in English and Vietnamese Mr. Stephen gave the students the opportunity to sharpen their pronunciation during the lecture by using humorous, real-world examples and close communication. In order to challenge the students with the game of "twisted tongue" the teacher assisted the class in differentiating between consonant clusters that are simple to understand and those that are more complex. The "twisted tongue" allows students to improve their pronunciation. The UEH English learning community paid close attention to and actively participated in the workshop, lasted for more than 2 hours with a joyful atmosphere. With the topic: "How to address VietNamese accent deficiencies" the event clarified methods to help Vietnamese English learners improve their pronunciation clearly in a short time. In addition, the workshop also answered attendees' questions and concerns about pronunciation. In the livestream format, attendees can send questions directly to the speakers through the fan page UEH English Zone. You can rewatch the workshop here. The sharing sparked a lively conversation and exchange among the attendees about the subject. As part of UEH English Zone project, Language Workshop is a monthly activity organized with many practical topics to help learners and officials gradually feel interested in learning English. Develops habits and piques internal curiosity to enhance and affirm one's sense of worth in the dynamic integration environment of today.

The development and the application of science, technology and innovation in production labor has always been considered as one of the most important contributing factors to the growth of diverse economies, especially for developing countries. The epochal innovation of the modern economy lies in the widespread application of science and technology to economic production. Concurrently, at the heart of per capita income growth are both technological and innovation changes. Therefore, countries to achieve development goals necessary to perfect the environment of science - technology and innovation towards sustainable economic growth and globalization. Weil (2013) pointed out that “Productivity change contributes to the economic growth of countries sustainably”. As productivity increases, the same amount of production inputs will result in more units of output. One of the main factors that increase productivity is technological improvement and innovation. With a core role in promoting sustainable economic growth, innovation models need to be systematically designed at the national level to provide a friendly environment for economic individuals to create and to apply new technology, innovative innovation in production and business. Sener & Saridogan (2011) argue that a diversity of factors trigger innovation in technology and creativity in economies. Technological innovation and creativity come from various sources from: companies, universities, local researchers, NGOs, or single individuals and the efforts of society as a whole. In addition, the non-competitive nature of use creates another source of innovation, that is, technology transfer between firms or countries. In Ho Chi Minh City in particular and in Vietnam in general, it can be identified that science and technology has not affirmed its leading role as the locomotive in production development whereas capacity and technology level is being limited, especially this is more and more difficult in the wave of Industry 4.0. The report from Ministry of Industry and Trade (2021) pointed out a number of barriers and challenges in the development process on the basis of science, technology and innovation in Vietnam, specifically as follows: • Technology platform is being backward; • Labor productivity is being low and not entirely based on science, technology and innovation; • The basic and supporting industries are being too dependent on outsiders; • In the global value chain, Vietnam is only an intermediary link, a place for processing for export; • Domestic enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, with low competitive advantages compared to foreign-invested enterprises; • The industrial space has not been fully promoted. With the purpose of keeping up with the trend of Industry 4.0, digital transformation is inevitable for most countries in the world, including Vietnam. Over the past time, the Vietnamese Government has had many orientations and strategies that have been concretized. Nevertheless, in the implementation process, many barriers and challenges need to be solved as follows: • The legal corridor and institutional and policy environment are being not tight enough, synchronous and have not kept up with the development of business models in the current digital economy; • The internal capacity of the Vietnamese economy is facing the big gap with the region in terms of innovation and creativity; • The readiness of the Vietnam nation for digitization is being low; • Being in shortage of high-quality human resources; • Telecommunications infrastructure is being limited; • Facing the lack of vision on digital transformation; • Afraid-of-change thinking; • Limited capacity of the team; • Limited budget and time constraints. Some principles suggesting policies to attract development resources In accordance with these analyses, the authors propose a number of principles and policy suggestions to attract resources for HCMC, focusing on resources, human resources, and land-related policy mechanisms, the rate of budget regulation, revenue fostering, science and technology and innovation as follows: ·         With resources for public investment projects, it is necessary to create a strong spillover to stimulate aggregate demand. In particular, the state capital representative agency participates in the implementation of public investment projects with ‘buffer capital’ from the state budget; concurrently, combining and actively seeking and proposing investors from the private regions. It should avoid relying on budget capital but must be flexible and diverse, removing difficulties in forms of payment for investors under the public-private partnership model. ·         The role of capital attraction requires the efficiency of state financial investment companies to carry out the construction of socio-economic development works and projects in accordance with the list of infrastructure investment fields. Socio-economic development priority of HCMC for the 2021-2025 period has been issued. ·         To attract capital resources, it is necessary to proactively review and adjust land use planning, infrastructure planning for services, industry, high-tech agriculture, port and logistics systems and so on. Completing and renewing the mechanism of land preparation for investors, piloting urban renovation and development projects towards the direction of integration from domestic and foreign resources, from both state and private resources. ·         Reviewing backlog projects and potential projects to organize promotion sessions, to collect investment opinions, to call on investors to research and to invest in projects in Ho Chi Minh City’s list; investment promotion in fields, listed as digital economy, sharing economy, circular economy, etc. It is necessary to be proactive in approaching, understanding and supporting partners, large, high-tech corporations for land fund, premises, connection infrastructure, human resources, etc. Focusing on policy dialogue, on-the-spot investment promotion, grasping the situation, and promptly removing difficulties for FDI enterprises that have had and are being in need of investment. ·         In order to supplement revenue for the HCMC budget, it is necessary to review the public land fund managed by agencies and units in Ho Chi Minh City. In case of no need to continue using it, the auction plan will be implemented. Concurrently, it is necessary to strengthen land management, to ensure that the land is used for the right purposes and in accordance with the planning. In case of violation of state leased land, it is necessary to consider recovery in accordance with regulations and to organize an auction for avoid waste avoidance. ·         To ensure the right, sufficient and timely revenue, it is necessary to strengthen measures to manage and to foster revenue sources, to solve problems in the tax field and to create conditions for production and business establishments to develop. In addition, it is necessary to effectively promote the source of remittances to participate in production and business activities; concurrently, developing a payment-only system and diversifying forms on the basis of technology. Creating policies to encourage remittance of money back home while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Vietnamese and beneficiaries. In addition, reviewing and evaluating the state of budget revenue and expenditure, thereby, proposing measures to issue local government bonds so as to create more capital for investment. ·         Proposals to increase the rate of budget regulation left for HCMC from 2023 onwards to provide resources for HCMC to invest in economic and technical infrastructure, traffic, digitization and so on will help Ho Chi Minh City develop modern and synchronous infrastructure, attract non-state investors, expand hi-tech parks and create new industrial parks with a strategy of attracting public investors. modern industry. It is necessary to continue to exploit the specific mechanism from Resolution No. NQ 54/QH of the National Assembly related to land, equitization, fees and charges and so on. ·         Innovating investment policies to attract capital from the private sector for the development of the industry, anticipating investment trends, shifting investment in the industrial sector, especially supply chains industrial goods in the world and in the region. Focusing FDI projects with science, technology and innovation background. Establishing preferential policies on credit, tax, land use, technical infrastructure, use of public services, market facilitation, international relations, copyright registration and intellectual property protection, administrative procedure reform and so on. ·         With the goal of becoming a financial center, the most important thing is to create policies and to loosen the restraints on the trend of digital economic development associated with financial inclusion. Concurrently, a pilot mechanism listed as a ‘sandbox’ for technology companies will help the regulator understand and understand how it works and possible risks for products and models from FinTech in particular and a comprehensive financial strategy in general. In which, it is possible to pilot two main groups of digital financial services, including: (1) Digital payment, clearing; (2) Deposits, loans, and capital mobilization (including digital transformation of traditional financial institutions and new models of alternative financial institutions). ·         Resources for development of science and technology, innovation, application of high technology and new technologies must be prioritized in order to promote economic restructuring towards rapid increase in service industries with high-productivity knowledge content and high added value. In terms of high-tech parks, it is necessary to promote research, development, training, incubation, start-up and innovation activities, building high-tech endogenous capacity, developing key products in accordance with the shift of direction from outsourcing, assembling, manufacturing, improving added value, and manufacturing. ·         The Government should soon implement projects and policies to support businesses in the digital transformation process, applying science and technology, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) while giving priority to pilot in corporations, large enterprises, information technology enterprises, research and innovation enterprises. ·         To ensure economic security in the context of developing socialist market economy and international economic integration, it is necessary to overcome the situation of using investment funds, foreign backyard companies with originated from tax havens and domestic interest groups to invest in real estate companies and projects in Vietnam to dominate and acquire real estate projects. This can lead to market manipulation and illegal money hiding, misleading public opinion in project investment. Strict control is required to ensure safety and transparency in investment activities. ·         Training high quality human resources. Focusing on improving human resources in the field of information technology, especially related to network security, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, Internet of things (IoT), blockchain, and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR). The timely addition of this human resource is a decisive factor to catch up with the development of an economy in acordance with science, technology and innovation.

Therefore, graduating from a school with a long tradition is one of the high-quality training addresses in economics, management, business, law, technology and design inherited by society and learners. With recognition and a high reputation in the regional and global markets, UEH graduates have the right to be proud of the journey they have gone through and can be completely confident about their achievements and knowledge that they have been equipped with.” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the University Council - delivering a congratulatory speech to the new graduates Among the 2,839 new UEH graduates in 2023 are 1,545 students of the full-time mode, transferred mode, 2nd degree, and 192 part-time students.

Graduation Ceremony for New Graduates of UEH Sharing her feelings about university life, new graduate Le Thi Thao Nguyen - School of International Business - Marketing affirmed: “Living under the roof of UEH is full of enthusiasm - friendliness - love has given us opportunities to try, to dream, to step out of our comfort zone and do what we want: to study, play, volunteer and burn with our youth. I will always strive to spread positive values and hope to return to UEH to connect and develop future generations, as our acknowledgment to the lecturers. At present, putting my hand on my chest, wherever I go, I will loudly shout: Proud to be a UEH student!” “At the end of 4 years, what we all want to say right now is the deepest thanks to the lecturers who accompany us not only in the knowledge at lecture halls but also in sharing valuable life experiences, leading us on the journey of self-improvement. We also want to send our thanks to all officers, employees and experts who provide us with not only studying but also useful movement activities to be ourselves at UEH” - New graduate Le Thi My Hoai, majoring in Hotel Management. Advising the new graduates on the journey ahead, Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH emphasized: "Persevering efforts", "Mastering technology, thinking globally, acting locally" and "Gratitude" are the "sustainable" formulas to achieve success. UEHer is steady on every journey and every situation in life. “Persistent effort is an accurate word to describe the 48-year journey of UEH and it can be said that it is the DNA (genetic code) of each UEHer. Today you graduate, there are many other paths that you will take, but I believe that UEH DNA has been and will follow you in every journey and every challenge. Persistent efforts are the motivation for you to constantly learn, take learning as a priority, and assert yourself in any situation. Besides, "Mastering technology, thinking globally, acting locally" is the second keywords I want to talk about. Era 5.0 will take place and the timeline is very close. Unlike 4.0, human resources of the 5.0 era require the ability to "understand, know and master technology", the goal of all technological innovations is to serve the quality of people's lives. I believe that the multi-disciplinary, technology-integrated knowledge that you have learned at UEH will help you flexibly solve problems in your work and your life. Above all, you are key human resources capable of seizing the opportunities of a 5.0 society. I am proud that this will be a competitive advantage of a UEHer in the domestic and foreign labor market. Finally, I believe that “gratitude” is an important piece to create an excellent and profound UEHer. “Excellent” in work, “deep and human” in the journey ahead. The graduation ceremony marks the official milestone of ending undergraduate studies and opening a new path with many future ambitions and aspirations. And the roof of UEH will always accompany their learning, UEH Alumni will always be a place for them to find – to connect with many other doors and opportunities through a network of more than 250,000 successful alumni and contribute to the development of the country.

Get out of your comfort zone!” which was held on June 6, 2023, students from UEH had the chance to speak with special guest Prof. Dr. Andreas Stoffers at hall B1.302, UEH Nguyen Tri Phuong Campus. The program has inspired and motivated students to understand themselves, push boundaries, and build momentum. The program has also provided opportunities and valuable information. The event drew more than 200 students because of its intriguing topic. Prof. Dr. Andreas Stoffers shared many instructive experiences with learners during his first visit to EZ Career Talk. With more than 18 years of experience in numerous senior positions in banks in Germany and Southeast Asia, he uses the metaphor "Eagle - Duck" throughout the event to inspire students to learn to believe in themselves and dare to make decisions. Sometimes, we must have the courage to push our limits and leave our comfort zones to achieve our most important goals. However, everyone has a different comfort zone, such as one related to their health, families, personal growth, or careers. It can be challenging to step outside of your comfort zone, but even if you fail, at least you tried your best, had faith in yourself, and tried to reach your full potential. A message to encourage students to step out of their comfort zone, believe in themselves and strive to develop their abilities. In just two hours, the program was held in a cheerful setting infused with the attendees' learning spirit. We can build momentum for our development when we understand ourselves sufficiently and are prepared to overcome our limitations. The best way to avoid falling behind and ending up like the frog at the bottom of the well is to maintain a humble attitude and an open mind. During the Q&A, both speakers and attendees engaged in constructive and stimulating conversation. As part of periodic activities, EZ Career Talk focuses on communication skills and crucial career skills with experts in the field to help students prepare for a multicultural working environment.

Since then, the innovation and timely update and improvement of the quality of UEH's study programmemes have contributed to enhancing international prestige, strengthening UEH's brand, improving educational capacity to meet the requirements of domestic and foreign labor markets. Accreditation of study programmemes is a mandatory requirement for Vietnamese higher education institutions. Accreditation results are not only an important basis for contributing to improvement, improving quality and demonstrating accountability but also a condition for exercising the autonomy of the institution. With the internationalization strategy, UEH advocates the implementation of quality assessment and accreditation according to international standards, and has selected the accreditation agency FIBAA (Federal Republic of Germany) as a partner for the period 2020-2025. In 2022, UEH has been awarded FIBAA Quality Seals for institutional accreditation and programme accreditation of five training programmesIn 2023, UEH conducts a re-accreditation procedure of four study programmes that have been accredited by FIBAA for 2017-2022 and an initial accreditation of another five study programmes.

The program was one of the efforts to concretize UEH's strategy towards serving society for a sustainable development community. In early June 2023, UEH was officially recognized as one of the top 9 universities in Vietnam, honored to be in the top 301-400 universities in the world, contributing to 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations according to THE Rankings 2023. This result strongly demonstrates UEH's commitment to the University's Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University Strategy, taking the knowledge base to solve important social challenges and create impact actively through academic activities. In particular, regarding the 17th goal related to partnership, UEH entered the Top 201-300. In that spirit of dedication and serving, the School of Public Finance, UEH College of Economics, Law and Government organized an intensive tax consultation session for small and medium-sized enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City. The consultation session is a collaboration between lecturers from the Department of Taxation, Tax Consultant Association and Ho Chi Minh City Tax Agents - a partner who signed a cooperation agreement with CELG - School of Public Finance, specialists from the Tax Department Ho Chi Minh City, and experts of international auditing firms in Ho Chi Minh City - alumni of the School of Public Finance. Overview of the program Specifically, on the side of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government, School of Public Finance, there was the presence of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Diep Gia Luat - Dean of the School; Dr. Nguyen Kim Quyen - Vice Dean of the School; MSc. Dang Thi Bach Van - Head of the General Department and School of Public Finance lecturer. On the side consultants, the program was attended by Dr. Le Quang Cuong - Head of Tax Department, Program Director (CEO) of Tax in Business - Head of the Advisory Board; Dr. Tran Trung Kien - General Director of Tax Administration; Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tinh - Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Tax Consultants and Agents Association; Mr. Nguyen Vu Hoang - Senior Manager - Ernst & Young Vietnam Co., Ltd; Mr. Ha Ngoc Thien - Specialist of Tax Inspection Department - Tax Department of Ho Chi Minh City; Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Thao Vy - Corporate Income Tax Specialist - PricewaterhouseCoopers Vietnam Co., Ltd; Mr. Tran Minh Huy - Transfer pricing specialist - PricewaterhouseCoopers Vietnam Co., Ltd. On the business side, the program attracted about 50 businesses to attend. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Diep Gia Luat - Dean of the School of Public Finance, delivered the opening speech at the consultation session MSc. Dang Thi Bach Van - Head of General Department of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government in the role of coordinator of the intensive consultation session Advisory board at the program The first highlight of the program was the report by Dr. Le Quang Cuong, helping business representatives understand the role of tax planning in bringing value to businesses and recommending that businesses improve their tax law knowledge to design strategies. Effective planning helps companies develop sustainably instead of making unnecessary non-compliance errors or evading taxes. Notably, the income structure that can attract good workers and does not affect the goal of maximizing corporate value is a complex problem; not all accounting departments of companies can develop and execute effective planning strategies. Dr. Le Quang Cuong suggested a reference planning strategy for non-wage income so that personal income tax benefits can be exploited. For example, companies instead of just paying employees, the income structure will be more tax-friendly if workers receive income parts such as lunch allowance, clothing allowance, electricity allowance, telephone, health insurance, voluntary retirement insurance, awarding money, wedding allowance, business trip expenses, training expenses, house rent in accordance with the respective employees and relevant legal regulations. Dr. Le Quang Cuong - Head of Tax Department, Director of Taxation in Business reported on Tax Planning For the content of intensive direct tax consulting, the Organizing Committee received more than 50 companies registered to participate in the consultation session with diverse fields of activity, so the arising situation related to different tax aspects. About 90% of the Company has a situational question to discuss with the on-site Advisory Board, and 10% participate in the experience-learning sessions, expanding the understanding of tax and practical situations of their companies. Regarding professional content, intensive tax topics were discussed enthusiastically around: (i) compliance with Personal Income Tax on salaries and wages; (ii) deploying electronic invoices integrated with sales software; (iii) how to handle deductible expenses according to the characteristics of enterprises when complying with corporate income tax; (iv) tax and invoice information for exported services; (v) advise on situations arising when the recommendations of the independent audit and tax requirements of the tax authorities are different and the enterprise does not understand the approach to handle, etc. In-person consultations at the program The representatives of the participating companies highly appreciated the consultation session; Ms. Tran Thi Thu Cuc, a representative of Din Sen Vietnam Co., Ltd. said: “We would like to express our sincere thanks. The program’s organizers gave us the opportunity to receive the necessary support to be able to solve practical problems at the unit. In addition, we also broaden our understanding from the experience of your Companies, especially recognizing the importance of optimal tax planning strategies.” The well-concluded program marked the companionship of the School of Public Finance with UEH's mission to serve the community and build a society for sustainable development. Thanks to the program, the School’s partner network is better developed.

Timilsina, World Bank Group. The meeting was attended by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam, Vice Headi of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government, Assoc. Vo Tat Thang - Dean of School of Economics; Dr. Ho Quoc Thong, Dr. Nguyen Quang; Dr. Le Thanh Loan - School of Economics and other participantsfellows who are currently studying Ddoctoral programs at UEHthe Uuniversity. Overview of the event The presentation discusses the effectiveness of carbon pricing tools, including carbon taxes, the emission trading scheme and carbon crediting mechanisms in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These tools are gaining popularity globally and are considered part of policy packages by most of the countries that have signed the Paris Agreement. Several countries have implemented multiple pricing instruments over the past few decades. At the session, the author discussed the effectiveness of different carbon pricing tools and highlighted the countries that have implemented carbon taxes, emissions trading systems, input subsidy systems, and subsidies for clean energy sources. The data stateshow that direct carbon pricing tools are only applicable in developed economies while input subsidies for clean energy sources are common in most countries. The presentation also provides an overview of existing carbon pricing trends and mechanisms, including the implementation of carbon taxes and emissions trading systems at the national and local levels, as well as trends in carbon pricing instruments and fossil fuel-supporting reforms. The author concluded that while carbon pricing is an important tool for achieving climate goals, more empirical research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool. The presentation by Dr. Govinda R. Timilsina attracted interest and received comments from lecturers and fellows attending to improve their research work. With the spirit of active academic exchange, the CELG seminar was successfully held. Dr. Govinda R.

In particular, Ho Chi Minh City, as the very core of economic, financial, and commercial development, is holding the role in promoting the overall development of the Region. In the current new trend, the economic development strategy of the Southern Key Economic Zone in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular must ensure the goal of attracting resources from financial to human, and must be linked with the goal of sustainable development with the foundation of science, technology and innovation, using resources effectively on the available potential position. Source: Collected photo The first part of this article is to find out the context of the Southern Key Economic Zone as well as the development of Ho Chi Minh City from 2011 to the present time. The context of the Southern Key Economic Zone Up to the present time, the Southern Key Economic Zone includes the following Provinces and Cities: Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Phuoc Province, Tay Ninh Province, Binh Duong Province, Dong Nai Province, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, Long An Province and Tien Giang Province. This Southern Key Economic Zone is considered a dynamic key economic region, with a strong growth rate towards the goal of sustainable development, in which Ho Chi Minh City is to be identified as the central core. Officially announced data in the first 6 months of 2022, the Southern Key Economic Zone achieved GDP of approximately 982 trillion VND, ranking first among the four key economic Regions in the first 6 months of 2022. To be more specific, Ho Chi Minh City contributed the largest part to the GDP of the Region, reaching approximately 512 trillion VND, accounting for 52.14%. Concurrently, Ho Chi Minh City ranks first in the list of 10 Provinces and Cities with the highest GDP scale in the country. The economic structure shifts in a positive direction, focusing on service industries that have the advantage of creating high added value. What iss more, the Southern Key Economic Zone is the largest foreign investment attraction center in the country from active FDI projects, industrial parks and export processing zones. Occupying the large system of seaports and international airports, this economic region has become the largest tourist center, developing all kinds of information technology services, telecommunications, logistics and so on as the largest in the country. Although accounting for only 8% of the total area and 17% of the population compared to the whole country, the production of the Southern Key Economic Zone, over the years, has reached more than 40% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and the export value accounts for approximately 40% as well as the average economic growth is more than 1.5 times that of the whole country. In addition, the region contributes more than 44% of the total budget revenue of the country, attracting 56% of projects and 45% of foreign investment capital into Vietnam. After the fourth wave of epidemics, data from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO) recorded that the index of industrial production (IIP) in last August 2021 decreased by about 7.4 % compared to that of the same period of last year, especially the processing and manufacturing industry decreased by 9.2%. The economic locomotive of Ho Chi Minh City, which accounts for more than 20% of Vietnam’s economic size and contributes a third to the national budget, is suffering the most from the epidemic during that outbreak. It can be identified that the Southern Key Economic Region has not effectively implemented the ability to link regions yet, the connection has not been synchronized, mechanisms and policies for regional development have not made a breakthrough in management. Members in the region are not clear regarding their rights and responsibilities besides many shortcomings and duplications in terms of strategic connection and regional planning. More than that, the region is greatly affected by climate change, sea level rise, many areas that have been facing serious environmental pollution have not fully met the needs of social security and human resource development yet, leading to reducing the role of economic locomotive of the country. With the purpose of overcoming and moving towards sustainable economic development, the Southern Key Economic Region needs a breakthrough innovation in regional economic thinking, instead of local economic thinking by developing a steadily sustainable economy. In addition, the Southern Key Economic Region is facing various challenges as follows: the average economic growth rate has tended to slow down since the outbreak of COVID-19 as well as the proportion of industrial production - construction and service industries of the region in the national industry structure has not had any outstanding features compared to the past. The current traffic infrastructure of the region is overloaded, airports are overloaded, deep-water seaports to receive large ships are limited, and serious traffic jams often occur on roads. Funding for budget allocation is not reasonable while budget regulation at the central level has been low in addition to the problems with supply chain disruptions, raw material sources when fees are high and son on. Therefore, the question is how to attract resources to improve production flexibility, to shorten the time between production processes and sustainable operations as well as to narrow the gap between supply chain with the current market is the center of capital supply and sustainable development. Ho Chi Minh City, with its leading role, needs to create a network for other localities to develop; besides, other localities in the Region need to link together more closely in order to create synchronization with the development goals of each country. This is the premise for other localities to develop together towards a sustainable economy in the Southern Key Economic Area and the whole country. Looking back at Ho Chi Minh City’s economy in the development period from 2011 to the present time The data from the statistical yearbook of Ho Chi Minh City and the whole country (2020, 2021) indicate that HCMC has partly effectively exploited the advantages of a special city. Currently, HCM City is the most effective economic center in the country, with labor productivity 2.6 times higher than that of the national average. In other words, one worker in the city generates 2.6 times more economic output than that of the average worker in the whole country. HCM City is the most effective economic center for attracting private investment (including foreign investment) in the country, with each dollar of investment from the state budget attracting 10-14 VND (Vietnam Dong) of private investment (5 VND higher than that of the national average). The city has the highest budget expenditure amplification coefficient in the country: upon spending 1 dong, the city’s budget revenue is 5.13 VND (higher than that of the national average, only 1.85 VND is collected when spending the 1-VND budget). Additionally, HCM City is the economic center attracting the highest new workers in the country. Within the 2010-2020 period, HCM City attracts an average of 120,000 additional workers per year. With the orientation of economic restructuring towards service development, Ho Chi Minh City has 09 key service industries, listed as: finance-banking, commerce, real estate, logistics, health care and education, which are beneficial compared to other regions in the country. The service sector accounted for 62.52% of HCM City’s GRDP structure, an increase of 4.85 percentage points compared to that in 2010 while the industry-construction sector decreased by 1.44 percentage points and agriculture, forestry and seafood increased by 0.05 percentage points. Transforming the city’s economic structure towards increasing the proportion of the service sector and reducing the proportion of the industry - construction sector. In 2020, the economic size of Ho Chi Minh City will reach 59 billion USD, an increase of 2.25 times compared to that in 2010 when calculated at the current currency rate. Nevertheless, Ho Chi Minh City has been far behind other big cities of the ASEAN region. In accordance with the data from Ho Chi Minh City Bureau of Statistics, in 2018, the GRDP of Ho Chi Minh City was equivalent to that of Kuala Lumpur, much lower than that of Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok. In particular, the GRDP per capita of HCMC is lower than those of the cities mentioned above. In 2020, Ho Chi Minh City is being the locality contributing the highest in the economic structure of the country. However, the proportion of City’s GRDP in terms of the national GDP structure is on a downward trend. In 2020, Ho Chi Minh City’s GRDP accounted for 21.8% of the country’s GDP structure, decreasing 2% compared to that in 2010. The industry-construction sector decreased by 4.8% in the industrial structure-building the whole country. The service sector decreased by 4.4% in the service sector structure of the country. Meanwhile, the proportion of product tax excluding product subsidies increased by 1.5% and the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector increased by 0.2%. The city’s social labor productivity in the 2011-2020 period has increased steadily over the years, reaching 1.52 times higher than that in 2010. The labor productivity growth rate for the whole 2011-2020 period reached an average of 4.28 % per year, lower than that of the national labor productivity growth rate. In spite of the increase over the years, the city’s labor productivity, in general, is being quite limited. The labor productivity gap between the city and the whole country tends to narrow gradually. Within the 2011-2020 period, the contribution of aggregate factors to the city’s economic growth has increased significantly. By 2020, total factor productivity will contribute 42% to HCM City’s economic growth, an increase of 13.7 percentage points compared to 2010. Meanwhile, the contribution of capital and labor in growth rate fell to 59.7%, decreasing 13.7% compared to that in 2010. In general, HCMC has used capital quite effectively. HCM City’s ICOR coefficient in the 2011-2015 period reached an average of 2.93 times while that of the 2016-2020 period reached an average of 4.32 times. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the ICOR coefficient in 2020. Compared to that of the national average, Ho Chi Minh City uses capital more efficiently. HCM City’s ICOR coefficient for the 2011-2020 period is lower than that of the whole country. In short, the ICOR coefficient of Ho Chi Minh City tends to increase while that of the whole country is gradually decreasing. In summary, in the period 2011-2020, the quality of economic growth has improved, the economic scale has increased continuously, and the average growth rate of HCM City is higher than that of the whole country. The economic structure has shifted to a modern direction, with an increase in the proportion of the service sector. Labor productivity, capital efficiency and overall productivity have all improved significantly. The Per capita income increased significantly, reaching 6,537 thousand VND per month in 2020, 2.39 times higher than that in 2010. Nevertheless, this result does not absolutely match the size and the position of the largest economy in the country as HCMC is the nucleus in the development process of the Southern Key Economic Region. The economic scale of Ho Chi Minh City is being far behind that of other major cities in the ASEAN region. The economic growth rate is slower than that of the national average, and HCM City’s economic contribution to the country’s economic structure decreases, too. Labor productivity is being low and HCM City’s labor productivity growth rate is slower than that of the whole country. The contribution of the aggregate productivity to growth is not as high as that of capital and labor. With that trend, key tasks and solutions to attract development resources must be presented as top priority, aiming at the goal of sustainable economic development and making full use of available potentials in accordance with scientific technology and innovation.

The achievement marks UEH’s impressive debut in this global ranking system. It reflects the university’s commitment to the multidisciplinary and sustainable university strategy, leveraging knowledge to address significant social challenges and generate positive impacts through academic endeavors. Top 301-400 universities in the world contributing to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (17SDGs): the highest ranking Vietnamese university in #THEImpact23 The Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings are the only global performance table that assess universities against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year’s overall ranking includes nearly 1591 universities from across 112 countries and regions. The ranking methodology encompasses carefully calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching. 17 Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs As a trailblazer in multidisciplinary and sustainable university strategy, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has achieved initial recognition by officially being ranked as one of the top 301 - 400 universities worldwide contributing to the UN’s 17 SDGs. This is the highest achievement that a university in Vietnam has received to date. High rankings for SDG 1, SDG 8, SDG 16, SDG 17: proof of UEH’s commitment to addressing significant social challenges and generating positive impacts through academic endeavors. During its inaugural participation, UEH strategically focused on harnessing its institutional strengths to address several critical SDGs, including SDG1 (No poverty), SDG8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG16 (Peace, justice, and strong institutions), and SDG17 (Partnerships for the goals). This deliberate emphasis on these specific goals reflects UEH's dedication to making a meaningful impact on society through academic endeavors. Top 101-200 SDG 1 - No poverty As one of few public universities granted comprehensive autonomy by the government since 2014, UEH consistently endeavored to implement robust policies for students facing challenging circumstances. Scholarships, Study Credits, Bank Loan Guarantees have been made available to alleviate financial burdens and facilitate access to quality education. Incredibly, the cumulative value of these financial support policies, from 2017 to mid-2022, amounted to approximately 200 billion VND. By nurturing over 4,000 underprivileged and talented students annually, UEH has helped cultivate their potential and empower them to overcome adversity. UEH has also established strategic partnerships with prominent financial institutions to implement the Study Credit program, offering students reliable and affordable loans, enabling them to pursue their educational aspirations at ease. Other support programs also include the Emergency Student Support Scholarship, the Flood Support Scholarship for the Central Region, the COVID-19-affected Student Support Scholarship (818 scholarships granted, totalling nearly 5,000 billion VND), and the Tuition Reduction Program during 2020-2021 COVID-19 lockdown, with total value up to 30,000 billion VND…These initiatives have collectively provided invaluable assistance to students impacted by unforeseen circumstances, demonstrating UEH's unwavering commitment to their well-being. Beyond its commitment to students, UEH acknowledges its broader societal responsibility. The university has actively engaged in philanthropic endeavors, including contributing to the COVID-19 Vaccine Fund and providing support to those affected by the pandemic. Each year, UEH initiates meaningful programs such as the Student Volunteer Campaign, to encourage student engagement in community service. Additionally, UEH's Innovation and Entrepreneurship program also emphasizes resource integration and the development of a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. #43 in SDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth Attaining a remarkably high ranking in SDG 8 demonstrates UEH's dedication to equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in an ever-changing global labor market, while also promoting sustainable economic growth. The teaching programs, research endeavors, and strategic partnerships of UEH are consistently aligned with SDG 8 objectives, ensuring that students are prepared to become key contributors to the workforce and drivers of sustainable economic development. Students are taught to establish their personal brands right from the lecture halls and engage in a plethora of stimulating activities, including research projects, international student exchange programs, while receiving recognitions and opportunities to grow individually through youth union and association initiatives to enhance their soft skills. Additionally, our ongoing efforts to expand the network of more than 500 reputable domestic and international businesses have afforded students numerous internship and career opportunities upon graduation. Particularly, the UEH Career Fair in Ho Chi Minh City has generated over 5,000 openings and connected students with hundreds of businesses. The university also endeavors to maintain a network of over 240,000 alumni, including esteemed local leaders, managers, and successful business owners, in order to assist students in establishing high-quality relationships that serve their future career development. Top 401-600 in SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions “Democratic - Transparent - Just” is the guiding principle in which UEH operates. All members are treated equally, with rights guaranteed and participation in decision-making, policy implementation, activities, and programs on a regular basis. Leadership at all levels of units and organizations are elected via a democratic mechanism that governs the organizational structure and governance, while Rules and Regulations are publicly disclosed to all university employees, such as the Organizational and Operational Regulations of the University, Functions and Duties of affiliated units, UEH's Research Code of Conduct, and the Annual Report on Public Disclosure Policy . In addition, UEH is actively involved in building state institutions, advising and developing regions for localities, and enhancing the skills and capabilities of policymakers. Initiatives such as the "Innovation and Digital Transformation in the Public Sector" training program in the province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau and regional training programs on water resource management in the context of socio-economic and climate change adaptation in transboundary river basins of Southeast Asia exemplify our commitment. Top 201-300 in SDG 17 - Partnerships for The Goals In its pursuit of multidisciplinary and sustainable development, UEH has actively engaged in collaborative efforts for the sustainable development of the community. Notably, UEH has directly participated in a wide range of activities that aim to promote the university’s participation as advisers for government and policies on academic freedom. Additionally, UEH leveraged its reach in the international academic community to collect and measure data for SDGs in domestic and international conferences and seminars as well as interdisciplinary dialogues on SDGs, the 2030 Agenda in China as well as other student volunteer programs, research initiatives and educational resource development with numerous NGOs. An exemplary initiative that can be mentioned is the UEH Green Campus initiative, which focused on raising awareness and implementing the 3R (Reduce - Reuse - Recycle) model to minimize waste, landfill and enhance the quality of recyclable materials through proper waste sorting. Recognized for its merit in community engagement, knowledge dissemination on green universities, circular economy and sustainable development, the project was awarded first place in the “Zero Waste City” Challenge, organized by NGO Waste-Aid in collaboration with numerous international sponsors. With over 47 storied years of robust international development and ever-evolving efforts in response to market signals, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has successfully affirmed its reputation and role within the national key university system. In light of this responsibility, UEH commits to becoming a change agent, leading in the transformation of a future, next-generation university, one that is multidisciplinary and sustainable. Professor Nguyen Dong Phong, Party Secretary and Chairman of University Council, shared: “This remarkable accomplishment is not of a single year’s effort, but the culmination of 48 years worth of visionary direction and strategic orientation towards sustainability and a balanced approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). UEH’s decision to undergo complete transformation and become a multidisciplinary and sustainable university is significant as it fulfills the responsibilities of a university with local and global missions. Our participation and achievements in THE Impact Rankings 2023 demonstrate our steadfast commitment to the multidisciplinary development strategy and sustainable actions.  In the coming period, with our pioneering spirit and internal strength, the entire UEH population will undoubtedly join hands and proactively confront new challenges to build a sustainable university, create a brighter future for learners, communities, and the world, and contribute to the development of a prosperous society."

In order to develop the Southeast Region in accordance with the planning of Resolution 24/NQ-TW, human resources, especially high-quality human resources associated with the competitive advantages connected to one region, need to be carried out in accordance with the plan. From the analysis of the current situation in the first period of the article, the authors have proposed some orientations for the development of highly-qualified human resources to meet the requirements of sustainable development for the Southeast Region in the second period. Approaches towards developing high-quality human resources for the development of the Southeast Region * Approaching in accordance with the Growth theory All modern growth theories emphasize the role of the quality of human resources, rather than the quantity. Therefore, labor supply is understood more broadly than human capital, including factors of skills and knowledge of workers. It is necessary to develop human resources in the direction of increasing human capital, rather than the number of workers. Compared with that of the whole country, the individual statistics for each locality in the Southeast Region in Figure 9 indicate that HCMC has the highest trained labor force, at 38.71% (year 2020), followed by Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province with the rate of 30.07%. However, the quality of Vietnam’s labor force is being low. The skills of Vietnamese workers are being limited, only higher than that of Indonesia and Laos as well as far behind compared to those in ASEAN-4 Group (Figure 10). Figure 9. Proportion of workers (aged 15 years and older) working in the economy and receiving local training. Source: Author compiling from data of General Statistics Office (2022) Figure 10. Quality of Vietnamese workers compared to that of other countries in the region. Source: CIEM (2021) * Approaching from the actual needs Upon mentioning the quality of human resources, one of the issues that can not be ignored is the role of the education and training system. The fact that trained workers do not meet the needs of the labor market needs to be analyzed closely so as to solve the root of the problem. In accordance with Puckett et al. (2020), the education system has been training workers in accordance with the 20th century model: standardized education and a life-time job whereas today's world has completely changed. The ongoing technological change and market transformation requires agile thinking, rapid and continuous learning, and mobility. Instead of mass standardization as in the past, education needs to focus on the uniqueness of the masses and focus on people. The development of human resources of the localities should focus on the actual needs and development orientation of the proposed Region.

The occasion witnessed a remarkable turnout of distinguished ISB managers, esteemed lecturers, and dedicated staff members, all joining the celebration of the importance of cycling and sustainable development. Cycling for the Environment: Positive Global Spread In recent discussions surrounding the promotion of green living and sustainable transportation, the benefits of cycling have taken center stage. Recognized as a powerful tool in minimizing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, cycling has emerged as a key contributor to mitigating climate change and preserving the environment. Beyond its environmental impact, cycling also offers a multitude of health benefits, serving as an effective form of exercise that reduces the risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular issues, stroke, diabetes, and other prevalent illnesses. Bicycles have emerged as a universally acknowledged environmentally friendly solution, gaining recognition from governments worldwide. Many countries have implemented diverse measures to promote bicycle usage, with these initiatives being met with enthusiastic support from communities. Recognizing the significance of bicycles, the United Nations General Assembly, in 2018, adopted a resolution designating June 3rd as "World Bicycle Day" annually. This momentous resolution aims to galvanize countries to actively promote cycling, fostering improved health, environmental preservation, and social development. UEH's Sustainable journey In its ongoing pursuit of becoming a leading multidisciplinary institution dedicated to sustainable development, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has consistently demonstrated its commitment to achieving the United Nations' 17 global sustainable development goals. One notable initiative that highlights UEH's dedication to sustainability is its active promotion and encouragement of cycling among faculty, staff, and students. The university consistently encourages individuals to choose bicycles as their preferred mode of transportation, advocating for a shift away from motorcycles and cars. Additionally, UEH actively promotes the use of public transportation, such as buses, as a means of ensuring safety and financial savings for its community. These efforts are an integral part of UEH's broader commitment to building a sustainable future and reducing its environmental footprint. By prioritizing sustainable transportation options, the university aims to minimize carbon emissions, improve air quality, and foster a greener, healthier campus environment. Thus, the response from UEH-ISB to "World Bicycle Day" is a clear indicator that the university has embraced not only the transformative power of cycling, but also its role in being a key component of their green initiatives. "Pedaling Towards the Future" The recently concluded cycling program, organized by the meticulous efforts of the International School of Business (ISB), demonstrated a commitment to ensuring participants' well-being and minimizing environmental impacts. With careful consideration given to the participants' capabilities, weather conditions, and traffic situations in Ho Chi Minh City, the program's schedule and mode of transportation were thoughtfully designed to ensure optimal quality and safety while avoiding congested routes. The program presented an exceptional opportunity to prioritize their health through engaging in cycling activities. Beyond individual health benefits, the initiative placed significant emphasis on environmental protection, striving to minimize negative impacts while fostering social development. Participating in “Pedaling Towards the Future” offered much more than mere excitement; it opened doors for individuals to enhance their well-being while cultivating a heightened awareness of cycling's importance. The club recognized that cycling extends beyond being a mere mode of transportation, evolving into a catalyst for achieving a harmonious balance between humans and nature. To sustain this positive lifestyle, the club established a regular cycling schedule, with twice-weekly sessions dedicated to promoting physical activity and fostering a deep appreciation for the environment.

However, with conventional teaching and learning methods, we are more easily constrained by linguistic constraints like rigid grammar and poor pronunciation. The question then becomes, "How can we use English to make yourself unique?" In today's society, it is common to find students with high language test scores, diplomas, and medals who are proficient in English but who struggle to communicate in their native tongue when speaking to customers and coworkers who are from other countries or when simply conversing with native speakers daily. Lack of language and communication skills is what is to blame for this issue. It can be compared to linguistic knowledge like bricks and mortar, but it's easier to become a house if just those things can't be built and arranged. In response to this issue, Department of Student Affairs and the School of Foreign Languages held a Language Workshop on "Use your English to make yourself unique" on May 19, 2023, with the participation of Mr. Andy Tri Nguyen, founder and course director at TESOL International Academy. Ms. Andy Tri Nguyen's arrival at UEH English Zone has provided the students with beneficial and valuable knowledge on how to use English and the necessary communication skills to impress and make connections in conversation. Communicators need to be aware of seven crucial steps to accomplish that. The first point to make is the rhythmic synchronization of the mind and body, or, to put it simply, the synchronization of thoughts and deeds. For the second step, learners must comprehend the terminology to prevent misunderstandings and decrease transmission effectiveness. Listening to others is another critical skill that communicators must develop for themselves. In addition to hearing what the other person is saying, listening also involves analyzing data and comprehending the content. Furthermore, the communicator must comprehend the other person's needs to communicate with them effectively. What information delivery methods do they prefer?, ... to select the transmission method that best suits the intended audience. In particular, when communicating with communicators from other cultures, the speaker emphasizes the importance of considering socio-cultural factors. Understanding yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, and actions is equally crucial to understanding the other person. Mr. Andy finally presented the best SMART model for planning communications. To better understand this tool, the students engaged in spirited discussions and practiced applying the model through brief exercises provided during the debate. The community at UEH was enthusiastic about the seminar's success and its positive impact on English learning and proficiency. In just two hours, the workshop was held in a comfortable setting that was infused with a desire to learn and the active participation of the attendees. With May's theme, "Use your English to make yourself unique," the workshop clarified how to communicate in English in academic and practical contexts. The seminar also addressed attendees' queries and worries about using English to develop personal brands. UEH English Zone strengthened ties with the UEH community and widened opportunities for English learning and improvement through in-person and online activities. Participants may submit questions to the speakers in person or online via the fan page UEH English Zone. Visit UEH English Zone fanpage to watch the workshop's video recording. As part of the project of UEH English Zone, Language Workshop is a regular activity held monthly with many practical topics to help learners and officials gradually feel interested in learning English, thereby creating a habit and stimulating the inner curiosity of each person, contributing to affirming and improving self-worth in today's dynamic integration environment.

With "The Sound of Unity" as its chosen theme, the event aims to bring a collection of songs that highlight the global culture, fostering unity among people and between nations, they also promote the idea of a friendly and peaceful world. Three main chapters of the Acoustic Show were presented, one for each of the three countries OC wants its students to visit. First Chapter: "Music Land" Asia is the first continent you encounter; it is the land of music, where each country's music has its distinct colors. From mellow ballads to upbeat, happy music, Asian music will be the breeze that carries you to the land. Three extremely well-known and iconic locations in this country - Korea, China, and Thailand - were visited by the students during their discovery flight, besides lovely and deep vocalists alternately performing the songs, creating an impressive opening atmosphere. The second chapter, "Music Convergence," As the plane said goodbye to idyllic Asia, it took off once more, carrying students to the continents of Europe and America, known as the convergence of music. Students will be able to transition from the gentle, deep emotions of timeless songs to sublimated feelings of youthful, vibrant melodies when they arrive at this chapter. Students can listen to timeless melodies and record the eras while traveling through three nations, each with a thriving music scene. The UK is home to the world's biggest and best music scene, while France is known for its soft, romantic music. The pop and rock genres are expanding worldwide, and this music reflects a young, energetic generation that is creative and dynamic. Spain offers incredibly sensual and vibrant melodies that are influenced by well-known dances from this nation, utterly distinct from the two above. "Musical Harmony" is the third chapter. The organizers have selected songs with elements of both Western and Eastern influences or songs with language splices from the two nations to prime the audience for the final chapter, which is also the most explosive.  Students are given a vision of a world with friendship, peace, and an international exchange of cultures with “Hello Viet Nam’, “Dreamers” and “See Tình”. With more than 100 students signed up, the flight with the sign "The Sound of Unity" has successfully completed its mission by bringing passengers on an emotional, thrilling, and profound flight and carrying a meaningful message. OC wants to express its gratitude to everyone once more for taking part in this program. We also want to sincerely thank the band and singers to put on a successful Acoustic Show. Wish you all good health and success in your studies and careers. See you all in UEH's upcoming music shows!

With the purpose of developing the Southeast region in accordance with the planning of Resolution 24/NQ-TW, human resources, especially high-quality human resources associated with the region’s competitive advantages, need to be planned. Based on statistics and analysis, the author team from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has clarified the shortage of human resources towards proposing some orientations on developing high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of sustainable development for the Southeast Region. The first part of the article is to find out the advantageous industries and the current situation of high-quality human resources of the whole country and the current Southeast Region. Industrial clusters in the Southeast Region occupying advantages The economic structure of localities in the Southeast Region mainly focuses on industry - service. Figure 1 shows that industry is the mainstay in all localities, excluding Ho Chi Minh City, with its contribution to GRDP from the lowest 43.19% (Binh Phuoc) to the highest 68.74% (Ba Ria - Vung Tau). In Ho Chi Minh City alone, service surpassed industry, contributing to 64% of GRDP, in which trade was the leading group, followed by finance, banking and insurance with a ratio of 16.4% and 10.1% of GRDP, respectively. Figure 1. Economic structure in localities in the Southeast Region. Source: Summary report on the implementation of Resolution No. 53/NQ-TW of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province; Report on socio-economic, defense - security situation in 2022 of Binh Duong Province; Report on the implementation of the plan for socio-economic development and national defense of Dong Nai Province; Report on the implementation of the socio-economic development plan in 2022 and the socio-economic development plan in 2023 of Tay Ninh Province; Report on socio-economic situation in the fourth quarter of 2022 of Ho Chi Minh City The industry-service-oriented economic structure has contributed to improving workers’ incomes. In terms of income structure, Binh Duong ranks first in the Southeast Region, followed by Ho Chi Minh City. These are two localities with high contribution rates of industry (Binh Duong) and services (Ho Chi Minh City) to the region’s GRDP. Meanwhile, the income source of Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh has a relatively high contribution from agriculture, forestry and fishery although there is a tendency to increase the volume of industrial production (Figure 2). Statistics also indicates that Binh Phuoc with advantages in agricultural production is increasing labor productivity in agriculture, specific as follows: the proportion of the agricultural economy is 21.46% while the income from agriculture is 30.1%. Figure 2. Percentage of monthly income per capita in 2021 at current prices by revenue source and by location. Source: General Statistics Office (2021) The development situation of localities in terms of industries is not identical. In general, the industrial product volume index tends to decrease. This is clearly shown in the statistics in the last 5 years (including the Covid situation) of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City whereas Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai and Tay Ninh witness an increase in industrial production volume (Figure 3). On the basis of reality, localities plan to focus on clusters of industries in which they have competitive advantages, based on the exploitation of digital technology. Innovating the growth model in association with economic restructuring towards modernity, taking the digital economy, sharing economy, green economy, and circular economy as the focus and driving force for development. Figure 3. Industrial production index by regions. Source: Statistical Yearbook (2021). Transportation as the service industry develops in parallel with the economic growth. Therefore, the data over time have indicated the sustainable increase in the volume of domestic transport of all localities in the Southeast Region. In which, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai are among the top localities in this activity (Figure 4). Based on the advantages of natural location, Ba Ria - Vung Tau orients for service development in the direction associated with sea advantages and diversity in tourism products, shipping and logistics. Logistics and supply chain management, one of the useful tools to help businesses link different stages within or among businesses, has been being applied in various economic sectors and any business classification. Therefore, logistics is an important component in the economic development of Ba Ria-Vung Tau in particular and of the region in general. Figure 4. Volume of goods transported by localities (Thousand tons). Source: Statistical Yearbook (2021) In terms of tourism industry, the data in Figure 5 demonstrate that only Ho Chi Minh City is the locomotive of tourism development, in which, the revenue from this activity is approximately equal to that of the entire Southeast Region. With its geographical position as the traffic hub of the country, including road, railway, waterway and air, Ho Chi Minh City has a favorable position in exchanging with localities, especially are localities in the Region thanks to the common administrative boundary with the following Provinces: Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau. In fact, the source of tourists to the Southeast region mainly depends on the number of visitors to Ho Chi Minh City. This implies that the development of tourism in the Southeast requires cooperation and association to maximize the inherent potentials between localities in the region in the direction of clusters of industries to create common products and link links to create common products, creating a unique attraction of the Southeast region. Highly-qualified human resources and regional planning management play a crucial role in implementing this goal. Figure 5. Travel and tourism revenue (VND billion). Source: Statistical Yearbook (2021) The analysis regarding the development data of localities in the Southeast Region in the past 5 years affirms that there has been a shift in economic structure, focusing on services and industry. In terms of service, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Ba Ria - Vung Tau are the localities leading the development, typically in the transport, logistics and tourism industries. Dong Nai maintains its industrial strength while Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh have advantages in agriculture and tend to shift strongly to industry. The identification of advantageous clusters of localities in the Region is the foundation for human resource development, realizing the goals of Resolution 24-NQ/TW for this Region. The current situation of highly-qualified human resources of the whole country and of the Southeast Region * In terms of quantity Statistics by the General Statistics Office up to 2022 points out that the average population of the whole country is estimated at 98,506 million people, including an urban population of 36,564 million people, accounting for 37.12%; the rural population of 61,941 million people, accounting for 62.88%; the male population of 49,097 million accounting for 49.84% whereas female population of 49,409 million accounting for 50.16%. Over the past 5 years, Vietnam’s population has increased by approximately 4.47% from 94.286 million people in 2017 to 98,506 million people in 2021. The annual population growth rate has been maintained between 0.95%-1.17%, with a downward trend in 2021, in which, the population growth favors the ratio of men to women. The natural population growth rate of 9.3 %o/year in 2021 with a declining trend indicates the challenge for Vietnam once this population begins to move away from the golden population area, towards the senior aging population. The Southeast Region is not an exception compared to the whole country and other regions. The labor force aged 15 and over increased slightly in the period 2017-2019, then gradually decreased in 2020 and 2021. What is more special, the natural population growth rate of the Southeast Region is in the low group, only higher than that of the Mekong River Delta and North Central Coast and Central Coast. Meanwhile, the life expectancy remained stable in the increasing orientation. The challenge of aging population in terms of the labor force is inevitable as the natural population growth rate tends to decrease in the recent years. Concurrently, the internal migration tends to increase with the purpose of partially compensating for the shortage of labor force in localities due to the decrease in natural population growth rate. Figure 6 affirms that this region has a high immigration rate, especially in the Provinces with various industrial zones listed as Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Ho Chi Minh City. Figure 6. In-migration/out-migration rates in the Provinces of the Southeast Region. Source: Personal compilation from the data of the General Statistics Office (2022) In terms of the labor force aged 15 and over, the statistics within 5 years, starting from 2017, presented that the labor force in the Southeast region had a slight increase until before 2019 and decreased two years later, 2020 and 2021. These two years are the period when the whole country was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. As analyzed above, this area has quite a large population fluctuation which is caused by the high rate of in-migration/out-migration (Figure 7). Figure 7. Labor force aged 15 years and over in the Provinces of the Southeast Region within the 2017-2021 period. Source: Personal compilation from data of the General Statistics Office (2022) In addition to the declining trend in the labor force, the shift of labor between occupations took place strongly. The workforce in the industry and construction sectors will witness an increase in 2021. Similarly, the workforce of the service industry will face one decent growth. In addition, the labor structure has mainly shifted to the following industries: processing and manufacturing industries; building; warehouse transportation; accommodation and catering services; financial services, banking and insurance. * In terms of quality Firstly, the most outstanding feature of our country is that the number of trained workers has been being rather limited. The statistics states that the number of trained workers has increased slightly over the years. The proportion of trained workers in the Southeast region, which is rather high compared to that of the whole country (ranked second), tends to increase over time but revealed signs of slight decrease in 2021. Secondly, the domestic labor market faces the challenge of a shortage of high-quality human resources. Although the structure of professional qualifications has increased in terms of graduates from the university and above, from 9.5% in 2017 to 11.67% in 2021, this rate is rather modest. Besides, the college group had a slight increase over time while the intermediate (vocational) group decreased. This implies the challenge for the lack of ‘worker’. In general, the labor demand for high-level technical expertise increases over time while the labor demand for simple occupations decreases. Therefore, there is a shift in labor towards reducing unskilled labor and increasing skilled labor. Thirdly, labor productivity factor needs attention because this is a decisive factor in ensuring positive utilization of labor resources for economic growth. For nearly three decades, Vietnam’s labor productivity, despite some increase, has been rather slow. Vietnam’s labor productivity is just above the group of low-income countries and only within the threshold of 50% of the group of low-middle-income countries. From 2017 to 2022, Vietnam’s labor productivity is twice as high as that of the average labor productivity of low-income countries, equal to more than 50% of the group of low-middle-income countries and equal to 18.3% of the group of high-average-income countries. In particular, there is a big difference in labor productivity between industry groups, in which the finance and banking industry together with the professional, scientific and technological sectors have the highest labor productivity, banking and finance sectors have the highest labor productivity while healthcare income has improved in the recent years (Figure 8). Meanwhile, traditional industries listed as agriculture, forestry and fisheries have low labor productivity. It is worth noting that the processing-manufacturing industry has always led in terms of growth; nevertheless, labor productivity is not commensurate. Figure 8.

Throughout the sharing, UEH students' pride cannot be hidden, and in return, the excitement of international friends when listening to the customs, habits, and traditions formed from generations of this small but resilient country. The program was followed by the sharing of Ms. Julia and WWU representative students on sustainable tourism development and ecosystems in the Chiang Mai and Chiang Dao biosphere reserves. With skillful guidance and dedicated sharing, Ms. Julia and all her students brought to the hall extremely useful knowledge, and new experiences about culture, ecology, and people only in the land of the Golden Temple. To help UEH students as well as WWU students have a more multi-dimensional and comprehensive perspective on sustainable tourism, ecotourism development in prominent areas in general, and biosphere reserves, Ms. Thu Thuy (representative of UEH) and Ms. Julia (representative of WWU) participated in the discussion and directly answered questions from the participating students. As expected, the program received a very enthusiastic response from the students with a series of questions about sustainable tourism development, green ecosystems, and sustainable communities. At the end of the workshop, there was a teamwork game for UEH and WWU students for both to have more opportunities to make friends, exchange ideas, and gain knowledge about the cultures of the countries. The workshop took place successfully, making an important contribution to promoting international cooperation, connecting and expanding bilateral relations, and creating great opportunities for students to learn, improve knowledge, exchange, and build relationships. Not only that, but the team also had an intimate evening together to experience the quintessence of Saigon street food culture - the unique culture that cannot be mixed and placed when ordering. The students explore and experience some traditional dishes such as Com Tam, banh beo,... the traditional dishes of Vietnam in turn introduced to international friends. Kaylie - a student in the WWU delegation, shared that: "For a newcomer to a new city, experiencing local food with a group of friends is a wonderful thing. Altogether, make dish suggestions and make the same choices. I have enjoyed broken rice, and I like it." Or Bryn: "Walking around with the students in HCMC is the first time I feel more comfortable in the city. I know we are in the hands of competent and confident local guides. In the classroom environment, it can be difficult to get to know each other, but when we can put away our phones and explore the city together, I feel very happy and excited to visit Vietnam. Thank you for being so generous and curious, you are all excellent hosts." With enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, COB students gave international friends a wonderful day of local experience. This will be motivation and strength for COB students to continue spreading its values, mission, and strength to the community, and contribute to creating a comprehensive and sustainable development environment.

The opening ceremony of the Master's Program in Hospital Management today is a clear demonstration of the cooperation and development of both units. Military Hospital 175 is 48 years old and throughout its history of development, especially in the past ten years, when Military Hospital 175 was in harmony with the development and integration trend of Military Hospitals in the whole army. One point that we have to change is to be financially autonomous and accept all patients for medical examination and treatment, because,  currently, the amount of medical examination and treatment under the health insurance and medical services account for 85% to 90% of patients. Therefore, the story of Hospital Management in all aspects related to Quality Management, Human Resource Management, Pharmaceutical Equipment and especially Financial Management are issues that concern us. Therefore, I hope that through this course, thesis topics can create products for Military Hospital 175 and for society." Major General, Dr. Tran Quoc Viet - Director of Military Hospital 175 Continuing the program, Major General, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Hong Son - Former Director of Military Hospital 175 -also had a few words to remind the students: "First of all, it is to reaffirm the path we have chosen as well as the story of cooperation and development in human resources and turning the training process into a self-training process. From the management problems at Military Hospital 175, we will look at many different aspects, different topics, and find values and products to change the quality of patient service. First of alltly, there are legal regulations, technical processes and management, human resources management, and quality management. The second issue is the development of science and technology and the third is the innovation of the entire patient service network. To do that, what we need is to change our thinking about Hospital Management. Therefore, I hope that through this class, students will acquire knowledge about hospital management to create real products as well as contribute to building the economy, health system and Military Hospital 175 better and better". Major General, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Hong Son - Former Director of Military Hospital 175 Leaders of the two Uunits givingave flowers to commemorate A student learner representative of the Master's Program in Hospital Management also shared some thoughts at the Opening Ceremony: “We are honored and proud to be a student of the first Bbatch of the Hospital Management Program under the development cooperation between the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and Military Hospital 175.

Confronting this problem, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has been making efforts to contribute towards the development of the Region through research and consulting activities. In this article, the author group analyzed the bottlenecks in the development of the Region, from which, proposing structural policies or implemented mid- and long-term restructuring to ensure sustainable development of the Region. In accordance with the analysis regarding the bottlenecks and the limitations resulted from these bottlenecks mentioned in Part 1 and Part 2, the author group has proposed personal perspectives concerning the restructuring the Southeast Region as follows. Enhancing the quality of economic structure in the Southeast Region Perspectives on economic restructuring in the Southeast Region is presented as follows: Towards the driving force in the development of economic sectors in terms of efficiency and innovation is the target of focusing and using technology, innovating the growth model with the purpose of boosting governance efficiency. The region aims to break the low-skilled labor-intensive and capital- and resource-intensive bottlenecks. In the period from 2022 and earlier, the Development Area is mainly dependent upon the intensive use of input factors listed as: low-skilled labor, capital intensive, energy intensive, and land resource intensive. In other words, it is the status quo growth mainly from inputs despite GDP income is 40% higher than that of the national average and, currently, approximately over $6,000/person at the 2022 timeline. This figure is expected to be striving to reach 14,500 USD in 2023 and the vision of a developing region worthy of Southeast Asia in terms of attracting talent and being one international financial and logistics center. The Southeast Economic Region needs to create an effective ecosystem for the transformation and the development of existing industries in accordance with an effective/innovative approach associated with ICT elements. Transforming the refined food processing (LTTP) industry from the traditional approach to the LTTP processing ecosystem are associated with smart farms: reducing input costs that are being scarce, improving key economic regional linkages in terms of raw materials as well as contributing to enhancing quality-value-competitiveness in exports. Transforming generations of SMEs implies various limitations in all industries/services of the Region into innovative SMEs, and associated with start-ups following a new business model that integrates ICT elements. Gradually restructuring Industrial Zones (IZs) in the Region, especially those located near the centers of the cities in the Region, towards eco-industrial parks, must be in compliance with UNIDO approach (2014) and Decree No. 35 2022/ND-CP. A suitable long-term and sustainable model for the post-industrial period of the region’s export processing zones-industrial parks will orient the long-term towards the eco-industrial park model with urban-related variations concerning great urban centers/ commerce/ service. UNIDO proposed Ho Chi Minh City as a Regional megacity to pilot Eco-Industrial Park for Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park and to expand to other IPs with ecological-urban-logistics variant. This pilot implementation scenario should be replicated to other provinces in the Region listed as Binh Duong and Dong Nai towards other industrial zones with potential for transformation. Existing IPs in the region must be supported by local authorities and the Regional Council to supplement ecosystems so as to gradually convert into green/eco-industrial parks with the purpose of gradually forming an industrial symbiotic ecosystem with additional contents. Concurrently, expanding the development space and strengthen regional connectivity, regional connectivity is to be conducted through completing the transport system connecting the region, forming a super economic zone. Building E-Logistics Centers connecting the Region is to promote intra-regional goods circulation and the effectively flow of export goods from the Region towards the direction of reducing overall costs in order to take advantage of the country’s large trade openness. The region includes one Logistics center in accordance with digital transformation approach besides the investment in developing a logistics system specializing in food at the Regional level. Regional Council with a superior mechanism for Regional investment and governance Although the Council of the Southern Key Economic Region (including the Southeast) has been formed at the third level; in other words, effective Regional institutions must ensure a superior mechanism to be operated with high legality, regulatory tools and so on. The implementation is the Regional Planning and Public Investment Resources that the national budget assigns to the Regional Council to deal with regional issues (listed as: the governance of the whole Region’s innovation ecosystem, regional resource management, product management region’s production and consumption, Regional database management, and Regional linkage management through the design and the implementation of Regional transport infrastructure systems) are not strong enough because they have not been able to connect resources due to operation in accordance to administrative boundaries. What matters is that there has been no common guiding force to realize the interests of the Region even though a chairperson of the Regional council on a rotating basis is available. Actually, the Regional Council has not been effective for, at least, the last 10 years of its existence; nevertheless, the institutions that decide regional issues have not been clearly demonstrated, especially the working mechanism of the Regional Council which has become more confused and passive does not even operate in the context of social distancing that disrupts the supply chain. Resolution 54/QH on the specific mechanism for Ho Chi Minh City is the leading locality in the Region in various aspects. Although it has more autonomy in mobilizing resources for group A projects approved by the Council, it has been being limited due to the fact that, after the two-year pandemic, many shortcomings have been taking place in terms of the policies upon implementation. As a result, the effectiveness is not high and the bottlenecks of HCMC have not been solved. Therefore, the Regional Council cannot follow the specific mechanism approach; however, the Regional Council must have a superior mechanism to attract and to exploit the public investment resources in order to solve those problems concerning not only for HCMC but also other stakeholders as well as other issues related to the whole Region. Consequently, the Regional Council should be able to make resolutions related to issues of the Region whether national or local projects that have an impact on the Region in the areas of water resources and property governance in common areas listed as river basins, Regional environmental issues, Regional transport links, regional food safety, and cooperation in division of labor along the Regional industrial value chains. Recommendations in terms of political level and Regional governance policies At State and Ministries level, recommendations are as follows: Researching and applying a unified food safety management model at the national level. The Government will study and legalize the food safety control mechanism at the Regional level and develop a Regional state food safety management institution. Unifying production standards for agricultural products and food and make it mandatory to apply in accordance with the roadmap. Strictly regulating the production, the trade and the use of agrochemicals and foodstuffs.

In addition, it is necessary to effectively manage Regional water resources.

With a free trade policy, there are little to no government tariffs, quotas, subsidies, or prohibitions that prevent the exchange of products and services across international borders. (Source: https://tapchicongthuong.vn/) How FTAs work? In the modern world, a formal and mutual agreement between the participating countries is frequently used to achieve free trade policies. A free-trade policy, however, can just be the removal of any trade limitations. A government doesn't need to take specific action to promote free trade. This hands-off stance is referred to as “laissez-faire trade” or trade liberalization. Governments with free-trade agreements or policies in place don't necessarily give up all import and export regulation or do away with all protectionist measures. There are only a few free trade agreements (FTAs) in contemporary global trade that lead to entirely free trade. For instance, a country may permit free commerce with another country with restrictions that prohibit the import of certain pharmaceuticals that have not been approved by its regulators, unvaccinated animals, or processed foods that do not adhere to its standards. For example, in Vietnam, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has a regulation banning pesticides, so other countries cannot export this item to Vietnam. Conversely, in order to shield domestic producers from foreign competition in certain industries, it might have rules in place that specifically exclude certain items from tariff-free status. For example, the application of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures against cane sugar imported from Thailand by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam has had a positive impact on the sugar industry, helping farmers to consume all harvested sugarcane and significantly increased income from sugarcane. FTA enhances international trade and boosts economic growth (Source: https://www.qad.com/) Free Trade Agreement: The key to international integration? Rapid Growth Numerous nations have experienced tremendous economic growth thanks to free trade. Many nations like Japan and Singapore have been successful in drawing in capital from international investors and offering relatively well-paying jobs for local employees by concentrating on exports and resources where they have a strong comparative advantage. Global Prices Drop Free trade fosters a competitive environment for customers where nations compete to offer their resources at the most affordable costs. As a result, producers are able to offer finished goods at lower prices, ultimately giving all consumers more purchasing power. Business losses and unemployment And yet, when a nation opens its borders to free trade, some people lose out economically. Local unemployment may result if domestic industries are unable to compete with overseas rivals. Large-scale enterprises might relocate to nations with lax labor and environmental standards, leading to child labor or pollution. Increased Dependency on the Global Market Free trade may also increase a nation's reliance on the outside market. For instance, a nation that produces certain items domestically may gain strategically even though their prices are lower on the global market. The nation might have to start these industries over from scratch in the case of a war or other calamity. Vietnam actively participates in signing FTAs, opening up many opportunities for sustainable development Vietnam joined the WTO as its 150th member in 2007 and pledged upon joining that it would completely abide by the WTO's accords on customs valuation, technical trade barriers (TBT), and sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS). A bilateral trade agreement (BTA) was reached between the US and Vietnam in 2000, and it became effective in 2001. Vietnam is a member of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and the Association of SouthEast Asian States (ASEAN). Members of ASEAN, including Brunei, the Philippines, Indonesia, Laos, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Cambodia, are dedicated to making the region a vibrant trade hub as part of AFTA. Vietnam has negotiated trade agreements with the PRC, the Republic of Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India, Chile, and Japan in addition to the ASEAN nations. In 2015, it inked a trade pact with the Russian-led Customs Union bloc as well as a bilateral trade pact with Korea. Vietnam and the EU inked a free trade agreement in 2019. In August 2020, this agreement went into force. Vietnam and the EFTA nations are actively discussing a free trade agreement (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland). EVFTA - A significant new generation FTA between the EU and Vietnam (Source: https://tapchicongthuong.vn/) Especially, in new generation FTA like the EVFTA, there’re commitments related to sustainable development which can enhance Vietnam’s footsteps in sustainable development. Particularly, in the EVFTA, Chapter 13 Trade and Sustainable development has commitments to promote sustainable development, notably by fostering the contribution of trade and investment related aspects of labour and environmental issues. Furthermore, Vietnam joined 10 other nations in signing the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, and Singapore. For Vietnam, the agreement became formally operative on January 14, 2019. Some of Vietnam’s FTAs (Source: https://mtavietnam.com/) 03/04/2023, The Ministry of Industry and Trade said that Vietnam and Israel have agreed on the content and officially announced the end of negotiations on the Vietnam - Israel Free Trade Agreement (VIFTA), preparing to sign a bilateral trade agreement in the year 2023. Completing negotiations on the Vietnam - Israel Free Trade Agreement (Source:  https://tapchicongthuong.vn/) Signing FTAs can significantly boost Vietnam’s economy as well as FDI but it also increases competition for Vietnam businesses. Along with trading opportunities, there are a lot of threats such as unemployment and difficulties to satisfy the global standards for goods and services. To take advantage of opportunities and overcome challenges, it is necessary for state agencies and the business community to grasp the commitments of Vietnam and its partners to properly implement it, and to take timely actions. to improve competitiveness for themselves and for the whole economy. To participate more deeply in the global value chain, Vietnam also needs to consider gradually overcoming the disparity between FDI enterprises and domestic enterprises in taking advantage of FTAs, expanding markets and enhancing export values. It is also necessary to well implement institutional reform to improve macro competitiveness. Good institutions that ensure publicity and transparency and a stable policy environment and an open business environment will create favorable conditions for attracting investment and creating favorable conditions for people and businesses to develop production and business, especially export development. Besides, along with receiving obvious benefits from attracting FDI, such as promoting technology transfer, creating more jobs and improving workers' qualifications, helping industries and sectors.

The "gamification" movement has had a positive impact on many fields, including education, healthcare, business, and society. Besides, "gamification" does not stop at one technology but combines many other advanced technology solutions that businesses need to learn and grasp. The Era of technology adoption and continuous improvement: In the digital age, the use and advancement of technology have become a prerequisite for businesses. It helps companies to improve productivity and efficiency and enhances competitiveness and market adaptability. According to a study by McKinsey & Company, large companies that have adopted technology and become technology leaders have experienced tremendous revenue growth and cut copious amounts of operating costs. A typical example is Amazon; they have applied technology to optimize the process and deliver products to customers quickly and accurately. However, today's technology application no longer stops at just buying and using mechanically; businesses also need to constantly research, change and evolve the technologies in their hands to be in a state of updated world. This requires businesses to regularly monitor, evaluate and ensure that the technology solutions are constantly modified to operate efficiently and in line with the market's needs. A convergence of top-notch technologies Source: Esports broadcasting and production According to the article "What is Esports and why people watch it?" , the term "eSports" - esports is a combination of two fundamental concepts, “sports” and “electronics,” often used to refer to sports content that uses the script of video games or simulates traditional sports on digital platforms to compete between athletes (professional players). E-sports also have their own competition rules and performance calculations based on real sports (if any). To be called e-sports, it does not stop at simple video games but also must ensure professionalism and fair competition among participants. More simply, we can understand "e-sports" as participating in a match and competing in "video games" professionally. In short, we can understand Esports as the result of the process of "gamification" of the definition of sports. Esports is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and is being heavily invested in technology. One technology that is being widely adopted in Esports is 5G technology. With faster data transfer speeds, lower latency, and greater processing capacity, 5G can help enhance users' gaming experience. Esports tournaments also use 5G to deliver high-quality images and sound to audiences worldwide. In addition, streaming technology also plays a significant role in eSport. Esports tournaments can be broadcast live on many online platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook, helping to attract millions of viewers worldwide. Streaming technology also allows teams and individual players to live to stream their gameplay and capture fans' interest. In addition, innovative technologies such as online virtual reality and augmented reality are also being applied in eSports to enhance the user experience. For example, Intel has developed a VR game called Project Alloy, which allows players to interact with the game using their hands and feet. Applying advanced technologies in eSports enhances the gaming experience, creates a professional competitive environment, and attracts a broad audience. According to Newzoo's report quoted by Brands Vietnam magazine, in 2020, the number of people watching the eSports tournament globally reached 435.9 million viewers, with wholesale revenue reaching the threshold of 1 billion USD. This clearly shows the interest and potential of eSports in the future, and adopting new and advanced technologies will help develop the eSports market even further. The flagship of a digital era The growth of the eSports industry has created many new jobs. According to research by Robert Walters, the number of eSports-related jobs doubled in 2018 and is expected to increase further. The statistics have shown that the number of online viewers of eSports tournaments globally has reached 443 million, expected to increase to 646 million by 2023. In addition, the global eSports market reached a value of $1.08 billion and is expected to grow to $1.62 billion by 2024. Not out of the trend, Vietnam's eSports market is worth about 30 million USD and is expected to grow more than 16% annually from 2020-2025. Newzoo also pointed out that the cost of gaming gear is expected to hit $13 billion by the end of the year. Manufacturing companies are also racing to research and launch new product lines to meet the needs of the gaming community. Another abundant cash flow of the industry comes from eSports organizations spending a lot of money on developing and updating technology in games and tournaments. Riot Games - the game company of many famous titles, has spent about $ 100 million to build and stabilize the quality of games and tournaments at many levels. In addition, digital media organizations quickly spend on the rights of tournaments of many varied sizes best to serve the audience's requirements. The impressive achievements have reflected the profound interest of the community and businesses in the organization and preparation of this particular sport. It can be seen that eSports is a rapidly growing field and increasingly becoming a market with economic potential in the world, and Vietnam is no exception. eSports-related activities have significantly impacted many economic factors in Vietnam, including the labor market, society, education, and technology. For the labor market in particular, the growth of the eSports industry can open a whole new horizon for workers. Many new professions have and will continue to emerge with competitive incomes, such as event managers, production managers, developers, media specialists, and many professional players;... According to VTV's report, the eSports sector in Vietnam has helped create more than 20,000 direct jobs and, at the same time, promoted neighboring sectors such as media, business, services, ... Professions related to event management, multimedia communication, and marketing... are considered the industries with the most opportunities, besides economics, the production also benefits from eSport. According to the Circular of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the field of manufacturing, importing, and distributing eSport accessories is considered one of the promising industries in the electronic components manufacturing industry. In addition, industries related to science and technology will also go up with the development of Esport. To meet the strict requirements of players, game makers will need to look for companies, graphic designers, operations, and programming specialists... to expand the market. This will solve the problem of the need for more jobs in Vietnam's right industry. According to many different reporting sources, Newzoo and Vietnamnet,... eSports events have spread substantially among the young Vietnamese community. This contributes to tightening community members' relationships and creating creative and diverse cultural values. Overview of gaming creators in Vietnam according to Apota Group With all the achievements that have been achieved in recent years, eSports has many expectations to develop into a playground for the new era - where the quintessence of people and technology converge. In addition, with the wave of "digital transformation" taking place extremely firmly, eSports will also be an ideal bridge to bring people closer to technological heights. With the goal of globalization and comprehensiveness, eSports will promise to be a hot topic to be exploited in Vietnam.

Moderators and speakers at the seminar Speaking at the opening of the seminar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Khanh Nam emphasized the importance of strongly developing the current method of commercial arbitration. Finality or a one-time judgment is considered one of the great advantages of arbitration and helps this method be considered by businesses to apply more than other forms of dispute resolution. The principle of finality is an important point, however, the detailed contents and instructions on this principle are incomplete, leading to many unpredictable situations in reality. Therefore, UEH College of Economics, Law and Government is very pleased to accompany with Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC) to organize a seminar on the Finality of judgments and decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam highly appreciated the practical contributions to the applications of the judicial principle to the Final Arbitration Council, thereby, continuing to perfect the legal framework governing arbitration activities. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam delivering the opening speech at the seminar Speaking at the seminar, Lawyer Chau Viet Bac believed that 2022 was a successful year for commercial arbitration in Vietnam. Currently, there have been more than 30 commercial arbitration centers in Vietnam; in the past year, VIAC alone has issued judgments for more than 330 commercial business disputes. The average time to reach a judgment for a dispute is 6 months to 1 year. In order to achieve this rapid transformation, it is partly due to the fact that enterprises have realized the advantages of quick dispute resolution of arbitration in commercial, this comes from the finality of arbitral awards. Lawyer Chau Viet Bac delivering the keynote speech at the seminar Dr. Tran Huynh Thanh Nghi - Head of the Department of Economic Law, School of Law, CELG - commented: "If the role of commercial arbitral is well promoted, it can help reduce the huge backlog of cases in the court system. And to promote the development of arbitration, it is necessary to remove and improve unnecessary legal barriers, such as the need to review and adjust the provisions of Article 71 of the Law on Commercial Arbitral 2010 on the Court judgment on the application for annulment of the arbitral award." Dr. Tran Huynh Thanh Nghi presenting his topic at the seminar Lawyer Le Thanh Kinh and Pham Quoc Tuan, an Arbitrator at VIAC, mentioned practical obstacles related to the finality of arbitration awards in Vietnam. Lawyer Le Thanh Kinh presenting at the seminar Lawyer Pham Quoc Tuan presenting at the seminar Dr. Lu Lam Uyen - Director of International Business Law Program, CELG - presented at the seminar on the origin of finality, and his experience in applying finality in arbitration in some countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. At the same time, it is proposed to have an "appeal of arbitration" mechanism to review the award within the arbitration center, as a solution to limit requests for annulment of the arbitral award. Dr. Lu Lam Uyen presenting at the seminar From Singapore, Lawyer Avinash Pradhan shared about the principle of final review and the mechanism for reviewing arbitral awards through the practice of arbitration in Singapore. Lawyer Avinash Pradhan presenting via Zoom at the seminar As the second oldest law training and research center in the South, UEH  School of Law, CELG cooperated with the Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC) to successfully organize this Seminar, thereby, attracting the attendance of hundreds of people interested in the field of Commercial Arbitration by face-to-face meetings at the conference hall and online via the Zoom platform.

Or what effect does a limping leg have on your cardiovascular and nervous systems? You are probably aware that leading a healthy lifestyle will improve your ability to concentrate and think logically. However, the daily lifestyle that the media promotes, with healthy, good-looking people with muscle mass and the ability to concentrate and study with high results, is either too "perfect" or too far away for a student with deadline chaos. Of course, in order to achieve a more comprehensive result, you should continue to eat a healthy, nutritious diet, exercise more, avoid using electronic devices for extended periods of time, and read more books. But all of that must be done gradually, day by day, month by month, and even year by year. So, what is the most immediate thing a student can do without devoting too much of his study and rest time? Have you considered concentrating on your “breathing”? Everyday subconscious action that perhaps no one notices, but at the Language Workshop with the topic: The Impact of A Healthy Lifestyle On Language Learning: Healthier Lifestyle = Higher Learning" - organized by UEH English Zone and the School of Foreign Languages on April 11, 2023, you will be carefully guided on how to breathe from a different perspective under the guidance of Mr Chaz Ibrahim, the founder of Surakshaa Yoga and Recovery Yoga. A study published in the journal Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine found that just 10 minutes of Bhramari Pranayama breathing practice reduced the time people took to react to stimuli. Other yoga breathing practices significantly improve parietal neural stimulation, spatial memory, communication ability, and a variety of other practical benefits. Within the framework of periodic activities, Mr Chaz Ibrahim, the founder of Surakshaa Yoga, Recovery Yoga from Canada, participated in a Language Workshop at the UEH English Zone, where he shared a lot of valuable experiences for learners, assisting attendees in having a real yoga experience and daily breathing exercises, balance postures that any young student can do. Done in less than 15 minutes but brings practical effects not only for mental health but also for a healthier body every day. The Language Workshop made attendees look inward to change the most important thing in life - "breath." The speaker discussed the difficulties that many people face when learning a new language, particularly English, and noted that we are in too much of a hurry and expect immediate results, which is impossible. That each of us does every day, but here, how do we breathe "right"? As a result, he introduced the participants to the subject of Yoga through scientific research and guidance. The students took an interesting approach to the action, thanks to the speaker's enthusiastic recommendation to practice fast breathing, medium breathing, and slowly and evenly moving the breath between the two breathing holes. Attendees were also introduced to new technical terms like Pranayama, Bastrika, and Nadishodhana/Nadishuddhi.  The students all felt calmer and more alert after balancing their movements and correcting their breathing.  The speaker also stressed the importance of maintaining this habit on a regular basis in order to be effective. The Language Workshop is a successful event for people who are interested in learning and improving their English at UEH. The workshop lasted nearly two hours and was filled with laughter, learning, and active participation in each speaker's activities. The event gave attendees an inside look at changing what's most important in life - "breath" - with an April theme that delves into mental health to improve students' lives and learning abilities. The speaker also thoroughly answered questions from students in-person and online about how to practice Yoga, meditate, and commit to a significantly improved lifestyle if you begin and stick with it. If you missed this useful and interesting Language Workshop, watch the video recording Here. Language Workshop is a monthly activity that is part of UEH English Zone project, with many practical topics to help learners and officials gradually become interested in learning.

Results show that Vietnamese teachers were generally aware of the importance of classroom assessment and dominantly used interactive scaffolding and performance assessment. Vietnamese students generally preferred formative assessment and some assessment activities (e.g., group work), while the teachers believed that summative assessment could engage students in learning and drew an analogy between performance assessment with summative assessment. Second language education research has been experiencing a growing interest in classroom assessment. Classroom assessment or classroom-based assessment can be employed to give grades, certify students’ academic record, and improve teaching and learning. While summative assessment is mainly used to measure students’ achievements, formative assessment, known as the teacher’s use of artifacts and activities to understand learners to help them learn, is well documented as to enhance the learning outcomes, motivate students to learn, and improve the teacher’s performance. In the classroom, these two types of assessment can be integrated coherently at different stages of teaching to enhance students’ achievements and reduce potential adverse impacts of grading. However, simply adopting classroom assessment models constructed in Western cultures and applying them in Asia, including Vietnam, are an example of overgeneralization as people in these different contexts may have different learning cultures. Asian students may hesitate to get involved in public discussions because having no answer or giving an incorrect answer can threaten face. Also, the specific characteristics of L2 (second or foreign language) assessment have motivated applied linguists to localize the classroom assessment framework. This study is, therefore, timely and aims to shed light on how the L2 classroom assessment framework should be adapted concerning the contextual factors of Vietnam. It explores Vietnamese university EFL teachers’ and students’ beliefs and teachers’ practices regarding classroom assessment. It employed a mixed-methods design. Teachers and students from different Vietnamese universities were invited to participate in the study. These universities applied a similar assessment policy: 40–50% of the total score for classroom assessment, and the final test, administered by the institutions, made up for the rest. Teachers could decide on test forms and content to give scores regarding classroom assessment. The popular choices were attendance, midterm tests, quizzes, and presentations. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations were deployed to collect data. Data collected from classroom observations show that the teachers employed interactive scaffolding and performance assessment the most frequently. Scaffolding, according to the current literature, can be used to support students’ uptake in L2 classrooms. It is essential to note that the more the teacher scaffolds students, the more contingently controlled the students may feel. In other words, teachers’ use of scaffolding should depend on students’ current competences. It might be necessary for teachers to diagnose students to understand them and their learning before they use scaffolding in L2 teaching. However, the teachers used diagnostic assessment relatively marginally in the classroom. It is well-documented that diagnostic assessment can engage students in learning, providing teachers with information about students’ learning problems from which they can suggest remedies. Also, there was no evidence of the teachers’ use of self-assessment and peer assessment. Self-assessment and peer assessment may mediate the learning process. As a goal-oriented approach, L2 self-assessment may help students monitor their own learning and enhance their responsibility for learning in the long run. Also, peer assessment assists students in exchanging opinions. It academically benefits both students who serve as assessors and students who are assessed. Data collected from the questionnaires and interviews give insights into students’ and teachers’ beliefs. Data collected from the questionnaire show some significant discrepancies between the beliefs of students and teachers about teacher scaffolding and performance assessment. Interview data provide interpretations of such differences. While the students associated performance assessment with summative assessment due to their experiences with teachers’ practices in the classroom and indicated their preferences for formative assessment, the teachers viewed performance assessment as a tool of summative assessment that could save time by engaging students in one test. This finding confirmed the observation data that the teachers used performance assessment as a summative assessment tool. It is crucial to address that performance assessment can be conducted formatively. Accordingly, teachers may provide constructive feedback to support learning. Also, performance assessment can provide evidence of a wide range of skills which teachers and students may use to plan remedial actions. Performance assessment was one of the biggest concerns. Most students believed that tasks, exercises, quizzes, and short tests should be used as tools for teachers to understand students and find appropriate remedies to support the learning process rather than to give scores and grades. In other words, they preferred classroom assessment to be prone to formative rather than summative assessment. They responded that the use of summative assessment sometimes made the classroom tense. Also, most of them did not think that the scores and grades reflected their competences. That is, they did not trust the reliability and validity of the summative assessment in the classroom. All of them realized that different teachers administered tests at different levels of difficulty even though they taught at the same level. The results also indicate that the students preferred interacting in small groups to speaking to the whole class. It is important to note that peers can interactively support each other in learning. They may feel more confident when they interact with peers than when they interact with teachers. Also, the students were concerned about their teachers’ grading fairness. Fairness is a complex and salient issue in a summative component of classroom assessment as it reflects teachers’ beliefs and assessment literacy. In the summative component of classroom assessment, it has been provoking ongoing debates. As classroom assessment is context-sensitive, L2 classroom assessment practices should take into account sociocultural factors. However, it should be used to engage students in learning rather than force them to learn. Appropriate use of classroom assessment may increase students’ satisfaction and motivate them to learn; otherwise, it can cause anxiety in the classroom. As Asian students are generally emotionally charged, they may withdraw from the classroom activities when they feel demotivated or lose face. It might be essential for educational institutions to have a test bank and grading criteria to ensure reliability and validity if they want to include summative assessment in classroom assessment. Also, while male students preferred self-regulated learning (self-assessment), female students preferred interactive assessment. This finding provides a reference for Vietnam and similar contexts. Teachers may consider this finding to justify the classroom assessment framework. When teachers identify any incongruences between teachers’ and students’ beliefs, they can elicit such differences to students to improve students’ behaviors in the classroom and promote the learning outcomes. The findings suggest implications for classroom assessment practices in Vietnam and similar contexts. Regarding the sociocultural issues raised by the students, it might be necessary to adapt classroom assessment theories to suit the learning culture of Vietnam. The success of classroom assessment partly depends on students’ emotions. They need to feel safe to receive and provide feedback, resulting in improvement in their competences. Rapports between teachers and students and between peers may prevent students from feeling criticized and annoyed when they receive less positive feedback. It is students’ attitude towards feedback that can contribute to their development of knowledge and skills. In other words, the more constructive they find feedback is, the more willing they are to receive and provide it. Thus, it is important for language teachers to consider sociocultural factors to modify classroom assessment literature to suit the context. Two limitations can be seen from this study. First, driven by the research questions, this study mainly investigated teachers’ and students’ beliefs and practices concerning L2 classroom assessment. Further studies can explore the effects of classroom assessment types and tasks on students’ academic achievements. Second, because the current study was confined to the context of Vietnam, the findings mainly reported beliefs and practices of classroom assessment at the tertiary level in the context. Future research can investigate how classroom assessment is conducted at other education levels and in other contexts. This study extends the current classroom assessment literature. As classroom assessment is context-bound, it might be necessary for teachers to consider contextual factors to justify the classroom assessment framework. Summative assessment, if included in classroom assessment, can be performed formatively. That means teachers can use students’ academic achievements to give feedback on what students should do and how they should do it to facilitate the learning process. In terms of the reliability and validity of summative assessment, institutions may need to have a test bank and educate teachers in assessment literacy.

This is the first Research Seminar hold by the School of Banking in Research Seminar Series 2023 (SOB's Research Seminar - SRS 2023) to create a forum for exchanging and learning experiences in scientific research and international publication. The speaker is Professor Jean-Christophe Statnik at IAE University of Lille, Director of the Master Program in Financial Management. Professor Statnik’sresearch interest focus in disproportionate trust in the relationship between the bank and the company and publication on prestigious journals such as Journal of Banking and Finance, Empirical Economics,Journal of European Financial Management và Finance, and so on. At the seminar, Professor Jean-Christophe Statnik presented research works of his team, including Professor Lobez Frédéric and PhD student Ly Hoang Vu, on the relationship between trust and lending institution structure of the bank (the organizational structure of bank credit). Based on data from LITS II, BEPS II and Bankscope 2010, the research has found evidence that if banks operate in regions with a high degree of trust, they tend to operate a centralized lending model (hierarchy structure). Hence, lending decisions are concentrated mainly at the centralized loan committee and based on hard information (information from audited financial statements, credit history, ...). Conversely, if trust is less consolidated, banks will tend to choose a more decentralized lending model (decentralized organization). Then, the basis for the lending decision-making process is mainly based on the soft information that the bank has obtained in the process of contacting and transacting with customers. This result is robust. with different measures for trust and after query endogeneity processing. One of the highlights of the seminar was the lively exchange between the speakers and the participants. Questions are asked around research motivation, structural organisation of banks, approach method of the research paper, the exchange took place in combination between the audience in the room and the online audience (hybrid). The sincere and enthusiastic answers of the speaker fulfilled the first research seminar in the SRS2023 series of the School of Banking - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.

RAMP seeks to leverage and improve the expertise and teaching capacity of local universities through its University Network to build the capacity of governments to manage climate-related risks. RAMP’s University Network convened and trained 53 faculty from across nine countries to deliver four new graduate-level course curricula related to climate adaptation, resilience, and finance. This core curriculum was developed through RAMP’s University Network in collaboration with academics and technical partners from across the Global North and South, including Bangladesh, Uganda, United Kingdom, and Vietnam. This event also formed an initial network with more than 50 experts from universities, research institutes and international organizations from 11 countries around the world, including Bangladesh, Jamaica, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, USA, UK and Vietnam. RAMP’s delivery model is unique: RAMP partners with leading institutions of higher education and research to support governments in a sustainable and context-specific manner. RAMP recognizes that leveraging the relationships between local universities and their government counterparts built over decades is crucial for sustainably building the capacity of countries to better align economic development with climate-related risks. This triangular approach differentiates RAMP from traditional technical assistance programs that often overlook the talent and expertise countries already rely on, ultimately failing to deliver longer term change. In Vietnam, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is a founding member of the University Network, and is the only representative of Vietnam to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with this network at the end of 2022. The training course chair includes the following members: Dr. Carter Brandon - World Resources Institute (Former Chief Global Economist of the World Bank); Professor Ulrich Volz - SOAS; Dr. Harald Heubaum - SOAS. Members of the delegation include Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thi Mai Hoai (Dean of the Institute of Sustainable Finance); Dr. Ho Quoc Thong (Lecturer of the Faculty of Economics); Dr. Tran My Minh Chau (The Economy and Environment Partnership of Southeast Asia); Dr. Pham Thai Binh, Accsoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Cuong, Dr. Tran Trung Kien (Lecturers of the Faculty of Public Finance), MSc. Dang Thi Bach Van (Head of Administration Office of CELG, Lecturer of Faculty of Public Finance). Figure 1: CELG-UEH team and members of the Organizing Committee of the training course Figure 2: CELG-UEH team participating in training in Kenya Participating in the training course is especially important for UEH-CELG. Accordingly, the trained lecturers are expected to have a better capacity to support public sector organizations in Vietnam, support the government in the next steps of the roadmap, and strengthen adaptive capacity and resilience to increasingly severe climate change.  Besides, the delegation of UEH-CELG also actively contributed ideas on the upcoming orientation and plans of RAMP together with the University Network. The comments focused on the proposal to organize capacity building training courses for lecturers and government officials, maintain and develop collaborative relationships among network members through research projects, support and jointly develop training programs, develop programs to support students and researchers on climate finance and related topics, and promote the introduction of research output into policy making. Figure 3: Presentation by Dr. Carter Brandon – World Resources Institute Figure 4: Discussion of issues At the course, each lecturer of UEH-CELG was optional to participate in 02 out of 04 training topics: (1)   Adaptation Finance Reporters: Gaia Larsen and Carter Brandon - World Resources Institute ; (2)   Understanding Climate-Related MacroFinancial Risks (Understanding Climate-Related MacroFinancial Risks); Reporter: Yannis Dafermos - SOAS (3)   Climate-related public finance and budgeting (Climate budgeting and public financial management); Reporter: Shanaz Broermann - CABRI (4)   Disaster Risk Finance (Disaster Risk Finance).

The speaker was PhD Candidate Tevin Tafese, University of Göttingen. The event was attended by Dr. Tran Quang Van - Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City; Dr. Le Vinh Trien - School of Government; Dr. Ho Quoc Thong, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoang Oanh, MSc. Nguyen Ngoc Danh - School of Economics and those as  current students at  UEH Doctoral programs. The authors assessed the impacts of the participation of a low-middle-income country like Vietnam in Global Value Chains (GVCs) on the labor market by analyzing the expansion of Special Economic Zones in districts throughout the country. For more than 20 years, Vietnam has been deeply involved in Global Value Chains by establishing more than 300 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across the country. The authors used satellite images from Google Earth to track the change in the infrastructure of Special Economic Zones in 708 districts across 63 Provinces and Cities across the country during the period 2000-2020. Satellite images and data from annual Vietnamese labor force surveys to develop a measure of annual labor market exposure to SEZs. The authors considered the effects of the SEZ on the labor market, including labor market participation, structural changes (major and career choices) and wages. The authors found that SEZ has a strong impact on the local labor market. In districts with special economic zones, employment rates are higher, people work fewer hours, and they move from farming households to private and foreign companies. These career choice changes are dramatic for women. Furthermore, wage income increased in counties with the presence of SEZs, and hourly wages increased even more, especially for women. However, the effects of the SEZ are largely limited to manufacturing occupations and workers in foreign manufacturing companies and somewhat limited to domestic firms. The presentation of PhD candidate Tevin Tafese attracted the interest and the comments from the lecturers and those fellows in attendance to continue to improve the research work. With the spirit of positive academic exchange, this CELG seminar took place successfully. We look forward to receiving the interest of participating researchers.

The speaker was Professor Finn Tarp, University of Copenhagen, a leading scientist in development economics and a senior policy consultant for many countries around the world. The meeting was attended by: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Markus Taussig - Rutgers University (USA); Dr. Le Van Chon; Dr. Tran Quang Van and MSc. Nguyen Thi Phuong Linh - Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Tat Thang, Dr. Ho Quoc Thong, Dr. Ho Hoang Anh, Dr. Nguyen Quang – UEH School of Economics; Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung – UEH School of Government and PhD candidates and graduate students of CELG. The authors used role models which are success stories with different household-scale business models. These success stories were built into interventional tool videos. Households in the study were shown inspirational videos of success stories to promote economic activities with the expectation of increasing the income of ethnic minority households. The research sample was approximately 800 ethnic minority households in 3 Northern Provinces of Vietnam (Lao Cai, Lai Chau and Dien Bien). These households were divided into treatment groups and control groups. Within 7 months, the research team conducted a survey to collect data before and after the intervention, with the outcome variables being income, quantity of goods production activities. The contents of the videos in the three surveys were: (1) the ideal model is the ethnic minority in Vietnam, (2) the ideal model is the Kinh ethnic group, and (3) the placebo video (this group was invited to watch a lifestyle and food video - unrelated to the success stories). Research results showed that: although the level of participation of households in both the pre- and post-intervention stages is very high, the inspirational video intervention with Kinh characters does not affect business activities or minority household income. The team also found the evidence for the impact of inspirational stories on ethnic minority characters. These households did not engage in commercial agricultural activities and switched to subsistence agriculture. The findings indicated that ideal or role models are unreliable and reduce trust and cause inspired ethnic minority participants to behave contrary to the message of the inspirational videos. In general, the research results raised some questions regarding the generalizability of the role model interventions in promoting commodity production and increasing household income of ethnic minorities in the North Vietnam. Professor Finn Tarp’s presentation attracted the interest and the comments from the lecturers and fellows in attendance to further improve their research work. With the spirit of positive academic exchange, the first CELG seminar of 2023 was successfully held. We look forward to receiving the interest of participating researchers in the upcoming future.

This was the result of a collaborative process by the Environment for Development Global Hub in Gothenburg, Sweden, along with more than 60 researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Duke University, International Institute for Environment and Development, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, Universidad de Concepción, Universidad de los Andes, University of Cape Town, University of Ghana, University of Nigeria – Nsukka and World Resources Institute. The seminar had the attendance of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam, Vice Head of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government (CELG), Director of the Environmental Economics Program in Southeast Asia (EEPSEA), together with experts from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment: Institute of Strategy, Environment and Natural Resources Policy, Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change, Institute of Economic and Environmental Policy, lecturers and researchers from universities across the country. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam introduced the overview of the research plan report At the workshop, experts focused on identifying potential research areas in promoting low-carbon transitions for sustainable and inclusive development in developing countries, contributing to shaping future research directions and policy-making in the environment and sustainable development. In addition to standard research directions for Asia and developing countries, content related to research and action strategies in Vietnam were also shared and discussed. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen The Chinh (Institute of Economic and Environmental Policy) remarked at the workshop Speaking at the workshop, experts from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment highly appreciated the research contents and proposals of EfD. This report will guide international research funding strategies in the upcoming time, thereby providing scientific evidence for effective policy-making and implementation. According to Dr. Mai Thanh Dung, Deputy Director of the Institute of Strategy and Policy, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam is currently conducting consultations on amending many critical legal documents related to the environment. Proposals for each legal document require clear, scientific, and convincing arguments before they can be put into law. Closer participation of environmental economists is essential. Dr. Mai Thanh Dung (Institute of Strategy and Policy, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) asserted at the workshop. On behalf of the research team, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam thanked the experts for taking the time to attend and actively discuss the workshop. Contributions will be aggregated and sent to the Center for International Development Studies and the Environment for Development Initiative, contributing to the world's standard research orientation in developing action strategies for the Net-zero global goal.

Of course, many people can communicate, but how many communicate effectively interculturally? This requires the flexible use of grammar, a variety of vocabulary, and a way to express one's thinking and ingenuity. Effective communication can help you achieve your goals quickly and make a good impression on your audience. For many English learners, communication skills only stop at the level of "listening-understanding" and responding,"  but the truth is that this skill is much more complicated. Surely everyone has emailed teachers as students with different purposes. So, how do you choose words to suit the context and intonation and not offend the reader? This requires the communicator to have a solid foundation. In addition, communicating effectively is even more challenging in a globalised world with hundreds of countries and thousands of cultures. With the rapid integration speed of Vietnam, students are now under more pressure when they have to work with and interact with many different cultures. Intercultural communication skills are extremely necessary. Understanding that importance, on March 23, 2023, UEH English Zone and the School of Foreign Languages ​​brought a language workshop with the topic "Communicating in today's globalised world" in the framework of periodic activities at English Zone with the participation of Dr Ton Nu Tuy Anh, PhD in linguistics at Macquarie University, Australia. Dr Ton Nu Tuy Anh, attending the Language Workshop at UEH English Zone for the first time, shared many valuable experiences with students, allowing the attendees to have a more serious and complete view of how to communicate effectively across cultures. To that end, Dr Tuy Anh provided the students with six tips: the first is "Understanding your identity" so that they do not misunderstand the meaning of the conversation; the second is "Aware of cultural differences and reduces prejudice"; "Tolerance and Less Judgment"; the fourth is "Enriching language tools and knowledge of social norms of different cultures" - understanding the other's culture to integrate with them; "Autonomy in intercultural learning". The speaker analyses each question in detail, as well as methods to help learners apply in real-life conversations. The workshop was successfully held and received much attention from the English community at UEH. The meeting occurred in hybrid with a joyful atmosphere full of the participants' learning spirit and active contributions. With the topic of March: “Communicating in today's globalised world”, the workshop clarified methods to help communicate effectively using English in real-life contexts. In addition, the workshop addressed the attendees' questions and concerns about using English when practising one of the most important skills. Besides that, attendees can send questions directly to the speakers at the program or online through the fan page UEH English Zone via a direct online combination. This form has helped increase connections and expand opportunities to learn and improve English in the UEH community. You can view a recording of the workshop here. Attendees paid close attention to the speaker's presentation on the subject. Language Workshop, as part of UEH English Zone activities, is a monthly activity with many practical topics to help learners and officials gradually feel interested in learning. In today's dynamic integration environment, learning English helps to affirm and improve self-worth by creating a habit and stimulating each person's inner curiosity.

There have been heated debates on whether race is a biological reality or a social construct and whether we should continue studying race-associated differences in health and illness behavior or advocate the abolition of medical and public health research using race. It’s an enormous topic to dive into, but today, we want to walk you through the generalization of some terms, discussion, and the actions we should take as human beings. So What is Race Really? According to Cambridge Dictionary, race is defined as any social group into which humans can be divided according to perceived similarities in their physical characteristics. Specifically, the NIH (National Human Genome Research Institute) defines race as “ a social construct used to group people. Race was constructed as a hierarchal human-grouping system, generating racial classifications to identify, distinguish and marginalize some groups across nations, regions and the world. Race divides people into groups often based on physical appearance, social factors, and cultural backgrounds.” Considering the definition, we know that race was initially created to tell groups of people apart to, in a way, state the existing privilege that some “upper” groups have over others. Nowadays, we often point out races of people similarly by looking at some visible physical traits, such as skin colour, hair texture, facial features, and eye formation. Such distinctive features are associated with large, geographically separated populations, and these continental aggregates are also designated as races, such as the “African race,” the “European race,” and the “Asian race.” We would like the modern way of defining race of Professor Audrey Smedley “Race is a culturally structured systematic definition of a way of looking at perceiving and interpreting reality.” Is it possible that racism comes from fear? Britannica defined racism as “the belief that humans can be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races"; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others.” As one can see, the word “race” has already somehow contained the meaning of racism, obviously because the word “race” itself was created for the purpose. After World War I of Germany’s defeat, the anti-Semitism (discrimination against Jews as a religion or racial group) was intensely exploited by the Nazis, who took over the country in 1933 and implemented policies of systematic discrimination, persecution, and disastrous mass murder of Jewish people in Germany and in the territories occupied by the country during World War II (find out about the Holocaust). While in North America, the apartheid era started dictating that different races (mainly blacks and whites) should be segregated. Those who held belief in racism claimed that two races should have their own distinct communities and develop their own institutions such as churches, schools, and hospitals and strictly stay in their own races’ area. It is unnatural and unacceptable for members of different races to get married. There is not much to say if was not for the corky belief that members of low-status races should be limited to low-status jobs and that members of the dominant race should have exclusive access to political power, economic resources, high-status jobs, and unrestricted civil rights. The idea of racism, especially in the 18th century,  was invented to magnify the differences between people of European origin and those of African descent whose ancestors had been involuntarily enslaved and transported to the Americas. By the 19th century, racism had matured and spread around the world. In many countries, leaders began to think of the ethnic components of their societies. Let’s discover another term called “Xenophobia” (Zee-no-foe-bee-uh) - an aversion or hostility to, disdain for, or fear of foreigners, people from different cultures or fear or dislike of the customs, dress, etc., of people who are culturally different - according to Dictionary.com. The word was selected as Word of the Year by Dictionary.com in 2016 following the number of searches for the word rocketed by 93% after Brexit. Xenophobia was constructed by 2 phrases stemming from Greek: Xénos: strangers and Phóbos: fear. Although sounds like a disorder, xenophobia is not considered a medical diagnosis like agoraphobia or thalassophobia. Those anxiety disorders cause symptoms that can significantly interfere with a person’s life and are medically treatable. Whereas “xenophobia” refers to aggressiveness, fear, and hostile beliefs. It comes from a person’s ideology and worldview rather than a disorder. People who hold xenophobic views can show hatred towards immigrants, refugees, religious minorities and people from different cultures. It can be parted into two broad types of xenophobia: -         Immigrant xenophobia: dislike or fear of people from different nationalities or religions. -         Cultural xenophobia:  dislike or hostility toward different cultures. Assuming that products, foods, or movies from other cultures are inferior to one’s own is an example of this. Xenophobia can be attributed to people motivated to fulfill their own sake of power, insecurity, greed, other prejudices and other forms of oppression. Some factors can contribute to less explicit xenophobia, such as lack of diversity, education, and innate fear of strangers. The differences between xenophobia and racism It is apparent that racism and xenophobia have significant overlap, but they are not the same thing. Xenophobia specifically relates to a person or group having “outsider” status within a society. Racism specifically relates to race or ethnicity, whether the person or group has “outsider” status or not. These two forms of prejudice can occur separately, or together. For example, a citizen feeling resentful toward immigrants solely due to a belief they are stealing local jobs, is an example of xenophobia on its own. Whilst it amounts to both xenophobia and racism when the same citizen show hatred toward all immigrants owing to preconceived notions about their ethnicity, skin tone, and their impact on the local economy. The most recent event relating to xenophobia is the aggressive disgust and fear against Asians that happened in the U.S. due to Covid-19. There’s been many assaults reported, a mass shooting in Georgia, Atlanta,...  Rooting from fear, it has grown into prejudice and then actions that cost actual lives. However, whether it is Xenophobia or Racism, we should acknowledge that they are both widespread forms of prejudice and discrimination that negatively impacts the lives of many people globally and jeopardize the relationship among us human beings. TAKE ACTION On an individual level, we can challenge racism or xenophobia via: -         Education: Take time to learn about diversity, races, and xenophobia. Equipped yourself with knowledge and information from trusted sources to debunk myths and stereotypes. -         Cultural appreciation: first and foremost, love and take pride in your culture, and ethnicity then learn to appreciate, and respect others. Expand your understanding of food, music, and movies of different cultures. Encourage your friends and family to read books, watch content with diverse characters, and introduce foods from various cuisines. -         Inclusivity: Find ways to make group environments more inclusive to blow off the “us versus them” dynamic. For instance, you can invite foreign friends, and friends from other ethnic to hang out after school. Find out more about cultural activities with international students at UEH English Zone. -         Speaking out: speak out against racist, xenophobic comments, jokes, or microaggressions. Spot your friends, and people around you when they say inappropriate things. In conclusion, whatever races, cultures, and ethnicities we are, we need to ensure that our peers and we feel proud of our own colors under our own skin and we are able to do and achieve anything we put our hearts and minds to.

This is demonstrated through the impact of the environment and sustainable practices of the business on customers' purchase intention. That is why many of the most successful and successful brands in the market today are pursuing green marketing strategies. So, What is Green Marketing? According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), “Green Marketing” are marketing activities for a product or service based on environmentally friendly factors or perceptions. That is why Green Marketing is associated with marketing activities that are beneficial to the environment. For example, in production, a production process that minimizes the impact on the environment will be applied, such as reusing water, building wastewater treatment systems, using renewable energy sources, and reducing gas emissions - CO2 which is released into the environment. Regarding products, the product will be designed to be environmentally friendly, limit the use of too much packaging or difficult-to-decompose packaging materials, avoid the use of toxic materials, and use renewable materials, and the product life cycle is long, can be used for a long time or reused. Green marketing stimulates green consumption behavior by encouraging consumers to contribute to the future of the planet by purchasing green products that have less impact on the environment, thereby reducing the generation of pollution. In addition, green marketing is also an expression of social marketing, which is part of a new marketing approach that not only focuses, adjusts, or enhances existing marketing thinking and practices, but also seeks to solve problems between social, ecological, and marketing subjects in the present. What leads to the growth of Green Marketing? In recent years, concerns about environmental pollution, global warming, and non-renewable energy sources have been much debated. According to the National State of the Environment Report for the 2016-2020 period of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam, currently the national energy supply is mainly based on hydropower and coal or oil thermal power, not focusing on the development of renewable energy sources. Regarding climate change, in the period 2016 - 2020, the weather and climate in Vietnam have many unusual developments. Average temperatures in many areas of the country tend to be the highest on record. From the obvious degradation of the environment, consumers are increasingly paying attention to products that are beneficial to the environment, and consumers' attitudes toward green products have also increased significantly. In many parts of the world, governments and related agencies have continuously issued environmental regulations to promote public interest in the variability of natural factors while clarifying that business activity must be associated with the environmental responsibility of businesses. Government pressure is exerted to push businesses to adopt environmentally friendly methods such as accessing resources, operations, and marketing instead of traditional methods. To solve the above problem, many businesses of different economic types have gradually incorporated green marketing into their operating strategies. The trend of green consumption is no longer a new concept, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey results of the IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) in 2021 show that 90% of survey respondents said that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed their perspective with issues related to the environment and sustainable consumption. Moreover, consumers also limit the use of products from businesses that have adverse effects on the environment or have unfriendly ingredients. Besides, according to the research results of Nielsen Vietnam, the growth rate of brands who commit to "green" and "clean" has a relatively high growth rate - about 4%/year, and about approximately 80% of Vietnamese consumers are willing to pay higher prices for environmentally friendly products. Green Marketing factors Green packaging Green packaging is one of the green brand elements that consumers can see and locate in their minds. Since most customers will often make product reviews based on first sight, therefore, businesses are more proactive in designing green packaging in many aspects, such as changing packaging materials, adding recycled and eco-labels or using easily recyclable materials,... Some brands have made a strong impression on consumers when their designs are environmentally friendly, all packaging is made of eco-friendly paper, no plastic lamination, and product bottles can be recycled,... Products with green design will often make a strong impression (Source: https://cocoonvietnam.com/) One of the sustainable promotion strategies is brand positioning, through campaigns, businesses need to show consumers sustainable values, believe in businesses that really care about environmental issues. All products/services of businesses need to be consistent, oriented towards environmental issues, with a green brand positioning and need to obtain certifications as well as cooperate with green organizations. In this case, businesses will create their own values ​​and differentiate them from competitors, creating outstanding advantages. Thereby, consumers can easily identify the business through the unique messages and values ​​that the product/service conveys. Products in cooperation with international green organizations receive a lot of support from consumers (Source: https://cocoonvietnam.com/) A company should highlight how a green product or service can save consumers. For example, an auto company might advertise its newest vehicle by highlighting its fuel economy relative to other leading car brands. This allows consumers to actively advocate for sustainability. They are aware that their choice is to invest in something that will allow them to save money and resources in the future, rather than making a short-term purchase. For example, the Tide Cold Water Clean product is advertised as an effective stain remover, as well as a way for consumers to save on their utility bills. On the Tide website, this detergent as a concentrate can help save money because there is no need to wash clothes in warm water. Product image of Tide Cold Water Clean (Source: https://tide.com/) Green logistics is one of the activities that businesses use to reduce ecological activities. From production, transportation to consumption. Businesses often use measures such as upgrading production systems to reduce pollution, building filtration systems, etc. Ajinomoto's factory with the goal of ending plastic waste in the environment by 2030 (Source: www.ajinomoto.com.vn) Eco-friendly product life cycle Understanding that a green marketing campaign will ensure that all aspects related to the environment, from the manufacturing process to unsustainable disposal practices that can endanger both the environment and human health. Businesses need to meet 3 criteria such as: Reduce (reduce input materials), (Reuse) use containers multiple times, (Recycle) have the ability to recycle into another product. The 3R rule is considered the leading standard with green products (Source: www.vinausen.com) The importance of Green Marketing The fact that more and more people are interested in protecting the environment will be a great motivation for businesses to develop green marketing strategies. On the other hand, this green marketing trend will also contribute to spreading knowledge and stimulating consumers towards green products that protect the environment. Gradually, this influence will create a green community with the goal of sustainable development and effective use of existing resources to improve the current alarming environmental situation. Therefore, Green Marketing is not only a marketing trend, it is also a solution for future generations, contributing to consolidating a truly sustainable development. It’s noticeable that not only businesses but universities also aim to educate the market with green criteria. With the goal of becoming a multidisciplinary and sustainable university, UEH has implemented the UEH Zero Waste Campus Project with the message "Rethink and Be Green". Furthermore, UEHers can also spread positive values about sustainable lifestyle, saying no to waste, raising awareness about environmental protection, encouraging UEH students to become green citizens, to reach that global message, we must be aware and act from the smallest things.

For high school students, the study of STEM subjects also positively affects their ability to choose a career in the future. When learning many types of knowledge in an integrated body, students will actively enjoy learning instead of being afraid or avoiding a certain area. On that basis, it will encourage them to have a better orientation when choosing a major at higher education levels and create certainty for their future career. Students who are taught in the STEM educational approach have outstanding advantages such as solid science, engineering, technology, and math knowledge; creativity, logical thinking; outstanding academic and work performance and the opportunity to develop more comprehensive soft skills while not feeling burdened or overloaded for students. Over the past years, implementing Directive No. 16/CT-TTg dated May 4, 2017, of the Prime Minister on strengthening the capacity to approach the fourth industrial revolution, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has guided several contents of deploying STEM education and organizing and managing STEM education activities to support high schools in effectively implementing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

The Southeast region includes Ho Chi Minh City and 5 neighboring provinces Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh. This area has a significant strategic position in economy, politics, society, national defense, and security. The Southeast region plays an important role in national and international trade through the region's transport network and seaports. However, the region's transport infrastructure has not been developed synchronously, leading to overloading of the regional and external supply chains, reducing connectivity, increasing the cost of transporting and circulating goods, and affecting businesses. In addition, the region's high urbanization rate, with the majority of migrant workers, is posing many challenges in terms of infrastructure in the context of a lack of public investment capital and difficulties in solving the ground clearance problem. Although the technological level of localities in the region, innovation activities, and application of science and technology in recent years has been raised, they still cannot meet the development needs and are not commensurate with the national standards and potential and advantages of the region. On the other hand, despite having a strategic geographical position for the country's socio-economic defense, security, and foreign affairs, the region is a potential area for many complex problems related to political security, social order, and security. Although the Southeast region contributes significantly to the development of the country, there are still bottlenecks such as the lack of skilled and highly qualified workers, the lack of regional linkage in production and consumption because the legal framework is not specific, and management according to administrative boundaries causes division of the supply chain... For that reason, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) organized the national conference "Socio-economic development dynamics in the Southeast region: Potentials and challenges" to create opportunities for researchers and policymakers to exchange, discuss, share research results, propose recommendations to develop policies and strategic solutions to develop the Southeast into a dynamic and sustainable development region, as well as implement Resolution No. 24-NQ/TW of the Politburo on socio-economic development and assurance of national defense and security in the Southeast region to 2030, with a vision to 2045 and Resolution No. 154/NQ-CP of the Government on the promulgation of the Government's Action Plan to implement Resolution No. 24-NQ/TW. The seminar focused on the topics of socio-economic development and assurance of security and defense in the Southeast region. The workshop was attended by more than 100 delegates who are leaders of departments, agencies, and provinces in the Southeast region, including Ho Chi Minh City and 5 provinces directly under the Central Government: Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau; Boards of Directors of Universities; Authors and lecturers.

The speaker is Professor Paul Bruke - Vice Chancellor, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University. This is the first academic session of 2023, successfully continuing the series of activities in 2022. The meeting was attended by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Vice Head of UEH College of Economics, Law and Government; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Vo Tat Thang - Director of Agricultural and Health Policy Research Institute (HAPRI); Dr. Tran My Minh Chau - Southeast Asia Institute of Environmental Economics; Dr. Nguyen Quang - School of Economics; Dr. Nguyen Luu Bao Doan - School of Economics; and Ms. Truong Thi Ai Nhi - Institute for Circular Economy Development (ICED), Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City; with fellow students currently pursuing doctoral programs at the university. Overview of the academic session At the event, Professor Paul Bruke - Vice-Chancellor, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, presented a study titled "Effectiveness of electric vehicle subsidies in China: A three-dimensional panel study". China is pioneering many countries in registering electric vehicles in its country; The subsidy policy for purchasing electric vehicles at the local as well as national level is an important incentive policy in the goal of zero-emission transportation. Benefit rates vary by an electric driving range, city, and time. The subsidy on each vehicle purchased is typically around 10-20% of the sale price. Vehicles with longer travel distances will receive more subsidies. This study uses a three-dimensional data set (range, city, month) to estimate the impact of domestic electric vehicle purchase subsidies on user registration in 316 cities in China from January 2016 to December 2019. The author uses the cancellation of local subsidies by the central government as an instrumental variable and a fixed effect model. Research shows that China's purchase subsidies have largely contributed to encouraging domestic EV consumption but have discouraged the consumption of imported EVs. A higher consumer perception of a subsidy leads to a larger proportional effect. The authors calculate the subsidy at the marginal cost per ton of CO2 emission reduction. The authors discuss benefits other than emission reductions, such as the emergence of a new clean technology sector that will be competitive enough without subsidies and what it means for Vietnam. Professor Paul Bruke presented the research paper Exchange of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Khanh Nam on the research Professor Paul Bruke's presentation attracted the interest and comments from the lecturers and fellows who attended to continue to improve the research work. The first CELG seminar in 2023 was successfully held in the spirit of positive academic exchange. We look forward to receiving interest and participation from researchers in the following periods.

One-year transformation into a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University After 47 years of strong development in terms of internationalization direction, continuous innovation in accordance with the market signals and well meeting the needs of the country’s economic development and contributing to human knowledge, in the new period under Impact of Industrial Revolution 4.0, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has pioneered the strategy of becoming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University. This is a common trend in the world towards helping promote multidisciplinary research and training capacity with the purpose of meeting the diverse needs of the market, accessing to outstanding training, research and consulting projects to solve global problems for community cohesion thanks to the foundation of knowledge values, sustainable action. This new direction elevates UEH’s brand position, opening up opportunities for ranking and promotion on prestigious international rankings. To be more in details, the development process regarding one Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University from the current time to 2030 will comprise 2 phases: -         Phase 1 (2021 - 2025): Forming a multi-disciplinary and multi-major University in Economics, Business - Management, Social Science and Technology on the basis of restructuring University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City into a comprehensive University with 3 Member Colleges including: UEH College of Business (COB); UEH College of Economics, Government and Law (CEGL); UEH College of Technology and Design (CTD). -        Phase 2 (2026 - 2030): UEH forms one International College and upgrades UEH Vinh Long Branch into a University of the Mekong Delta region, promoting international training and expanding local development, being recognized within Asia with a ranking in the 500 Best Universities in Asia. At the same time, UEH focuses on building and developing the 5 strategic pillars of a Sustainable University, taking contribution to the sustainable future of the community and society as a destination, including: (1) Citizenship training global - Sustainable action; (2) Research for the benefit of the community; (3) Operation: From clean campus to Green University; (4) One community of those who inspire and lead the change towards the sustainable development; (5) Governance: Prioritizing sustainable development. With the new strategy, UEH wishes to create the image of a new-generation university with the following characteristics: (1) Quality - Reliability - Sustainability; (2) Integration; (3) Innovation - Technology; (4) Inspiring - Happiness - Leading. These strategic orientations have received the full support and consensus from all UEHer Community and gradually created a different position of UEH University in terms of the fields of training, research, and knowledge transfer, connection and community development. On October 27, 2021, UEH officially launched 3 UEH member universities, starting the restructuring strategy to form a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University In line with the new journey, UEH has flexibly been operated under the model of UEH University - Member College - Affiliated Divisions in a methodical and resolute manner, in the direction of increasing sovereignty for Member College, specifically: 03 Member College under UEH have the functions of training, scientific research, international cooperation and providing scientific services, consulting, technology transfer in the fields of responsibility and operation with the structure includes: Council of Science & Training at College; Faculties and Institutes; UEH Department of Administration and Center of Continuing Education. UEH Member Colleges operate under the Board of Management of Member Colleges together with UEH Board of Management. At the same time, other UEH-affiliated Units facilitate, guide, train, coach and foster in relevant professional knowledge for UEH Member Colleges. UEH has flexibly operated under the University - Member Colleges - Subsidiary model in an organized and committed manner, in the direction of increasing sovereignty for the Member Colleges Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University Operation Model: A solid foundation for the 10-year journey (2021 - 2030) Looking back over the past year, UEH, despite transformation in accordance with extremely new and fundamental strategies management and operation methods with gradual improvement, has been maintaining stability along with the inherent development momentum and initially achieved extremely positive results. UEH Member Colleges together with UEH Vinh Long Branch have gradually stabilized, becoming the UEH University’s pioneer squad, increasing UEH’s influence on the map of multidisciplinary, high-quality training and research, prestige, integration and creativity both domestically and internationally. “The fact that the past year can be called a year of “completely speedy” transformation for all UEH individuals and units has been absolutely true to the spirit of UEHer so far. We – UEHers - are not afraid to change and always ready for change, for alternation, for modification towards more positive, pioneering and sustainable things” - Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council shared. * The insight and the flexible and innovative management perspective of UEH’s Management Team UEH’s innovation in the past over years comes from the modern, long-range, quick-to-trend management thinking, being flexible to deployment methods and readiness to change under the supervision of UEH Management Team. This important foundation has created a pioneering digitized higher education environment, applying what the world's top universities are doing, selectively learning sustainable governance tools from other universities, enterprise organizations, and seriously invest resources in time. The establishment of the Steering and Executive Committee of the “Sustainable UEH University to 2030” Project in early 2022 as a dedicated team, paving the way for specific activities on development and sustainable action of the university is one persuasive example. The fact that this premise creates confidence for UEH’s strategy in restructuring the UEH University into one Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University will step by step become one reality. “Democracy - Publicity - Fairness” has always been the consistent principle in UEH University’s management and administration activities. All members of the UEH family are equal, have their rights guaranteed, and regularly participate in decision-making and implementation towards policies, activities and programs. The organization of the management and administration apparatus is carried out in accordance with the democratic mechanism, through widely contributing opinions, voting to elect reputable leaders at all levels of Units and Organizations, etc. Rules and regulations are disclosed to employees. It is the correct directions, timely resolution of difficulties, and policies to encourage and create conditions for each UEH individual, unit and collective helps to promote their role and to contribute their strength in the development strategy of UEH University. *Effectiveness of the management decentralization model, increasing sovereignty for Member Colleges The development spaces created by the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University Model have been fully exploited by the leadership team of the Member Colleges, helping the Faculties, Departments, Institutes and Units under UEH University to realize their full potential and to expand the ecosystem of training, research and connection in the direction of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary. Since then, more quality activities and programs have been implemented in the past time. Along with a clearly-oriented UEH University development strategy, UEH Member Colleges make a difference in the development journey on the one hand and together create a unified strategic perfect whole on the other hand, promoting UEH University’s general direction. *The unremitting efforts of UEH General Department – UEH Member Colleges The General Department of UEH Member College is an important link that conveys UEH University’s strategy of Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University, 05 pillars of Sustainability to UEH Member College; deploying work among UEH Member Colleges and other UEH-affiliated Units, especially connecting the Units within UEH Member Colleges. Although being newly established with less-than-one-year operation, Managers and personnel from 3 General Departments have proven their cohesive role, performing these important administrative and administrative support functions. The same role of UEH Center of Short-term Training is the focal point for implementing short-term training activities of UEH. With the right steps in the past year, 03 UEH Member Colleges have been gradually asserting their brands and missions in the following activities: College administration; Training high-quality human resources to meet the needs of the labor market; Increasing scientific research activities; Promoting international cooperation strategy; Serving the community and building and developing society. Member Colleges and Vinh Long Branch strive to do scientific research and transfer knowledge to serve the community Member Colleges and Vinh Long Branch promote cooperation agreements with enterprises *Independent operation capacity and proactive coordination spirit of Units and Departments under UEH University Along with UEH Member Colleges, the independent operation capacity of UEH-affiliated Training Units, including: School of Foreign Languages, School of Social Sciences, has increased strongly, achieving a variety of achievements in terms of training, scientific research, community service, in parallel with the strategic goals that UEH University has set. At the same time, the proactive coordination and support of UEH Functional Units with each other and with Member Colleges have significantly contributed to the operation of the new UEH University model in the past time. Today’s initial successes are proof that UEH’s development strategy following the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University Model is correct. This important asset is a solid foundation for UEH to continue to be consistent with the goals set out on the next 10-year journey (2021 - 2030). “Not only 3 Member Colleges, I think all units at UEH in the past year have been absolutely enthusiastic. I don't use the word "fulfillment", I think people have performed more than they have. With this way of thinking and doing, I do believe that UEH University will have a journey of 10 years with more achievements and hallmarks” - Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh, President of UEH asserted. Being prepared for the transition from UEH to UEH University Now, UEH is to be ready to be a new generation University, listening to the times, understanding the young generation, proactively updating, being fully equipped with knowledge, skills and capacity, creating an empowering environment to help the next generation of employees in the digital era to discover their potential “Unbounded creativity – Empowered futures - Holistic values” and to contribute to the sustainable development of the society. Universities and Colleges have always played an important role in the development of the society. Therefore, Universities and Colleges need to make adjustments in order to adapt to the new requirements from the society and towards the sustainable development. This new responsibility is what UEH collectives and individuals are and will be determined to pursue. As a University that has overcome various difficulties and challenges to achieve diverse successes, making important contributions to the national education, the development of the country with social responsibility during the past 47 years, today, UEH is completely ready with a new name, new model, new strategy - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City – one Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University.

Specifically, since 2021, UEH has operated online exam systems, implemented authenticated electronic record services, issued electronic short-term course certificates, integrated management systems, and taken care of learners/ partners, stored knowledge on CRM systems and launched an online sales transaction page for the community. Online testing system Since October 2022, the online exam has become the main form of testing activity at UEH. Exam organization, examination, and assessment of learning outcomes of candidates and learners at all levels and systems (such as technical requirements for test equipment, monitoring equipment, regulations on the layout of exam space, the process of making problems, regulations for taking the exam…) are elaborated and detailed in the Regulations on organization of the online exam at UEH to ensure the effectiveness and uniformity, fair assessment, and quality in the training work of the University. [https://huongdanthi.ueh.edu.vn/]. This is the official online testing page of the University with links to respective exams, specific instructions on how to take the exam, and the requirements to ensure the seriousness of the exam. In order to ensure the interests of candidates in taking online exams, the University always has a team on duty to solve problems that candidates encounter. In particular, in case of candidates do not meet the technical requirements for the online exam, they can register for the exam at campuses via the link dangkythi.ueh.edu.vn Authenticated electronic record service Over the past time, UEH has received 50-200 applications daily for issuing papers and documents for personal purposes on the e-transaction portal https://es.ueh.edu.vn/. In order to meet the increasing needs of learners and alumni, UEH has applied digital technology and provided authenticated electronic record services through the University's Student Portal system. Accordingly, users only need to access their accounts to print their records or send emails directly to the individual/unit addresses quickly and conveniently, saving time and costs compared to other service requests with the same stamp of confirmation as before. Individuals and units using UEH's authenticated electronic records can look up and verify information at https://student.ueh.edu.vn/e-confirm. UEH deploys a service of authenticated electronic records with documents, such as: Certificate of learners at all levels/systems to supplement personal records; Certificates of completion of the training program; Certificate of student's payment of course debt; Academic transcripts of courses/systems in Vietnamese/English; Letter of introduction for interns - Survey to collect data; Provisional graduation certificate; Scoreboard for training bilingual students; Certificate of Bilingual Student Scholarship. In addition, in the future, depending on the needs of learners, UEH will monitor and add many other products related to the learning and training process at the University. Certificate/electronic certification of short courses In order to create convenience for learners, alumni, and former students in receiving UEH e-Certificates/Certificates of short-term training courses quickly, at the same time, helping units and individuals look up online and verify Certificates/Certificates issued by UEH, the University has applied digital technology and officially implemented Certificates/the Electronic Certificates of UEH short-term training courses from November 2022. This helps to ensure consistency and efficiency in the management and storage of Electronic Certificates/Certificates of short-term training courses issued by UEH.

For short-term courses for regular university students, UEH issues an e-Certificate for the course or each subject, depending on the training program's content and current UEH regulations. Integrated management system taking care of learners/partners and the knowledge warehouse on CRM system UEH Knowledge Warehouse [https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn/] is built to gather and store all necessary supporting information related to the learning, living, and research process of students and trainees at UEH. For example, general information about UEH (missions, achievements, culture...); affiliated campuses; staff; knowledge of levels/systems (Regular University, part-time, postgraduate...); information about innovative services at UEH; information of UEH - Vinh Long Campus;… Learners can search for information from data directory trees classified by UEH training types. In particular, it is easy to look up information by entering keywords in the search field to filter and find suitable information. In addition, the Knowledge Warehouse also introduces much useful content such as: Portals, Certificates, and Accounts to support learners. Thus, UEH learners will be proactive in finding necessary information quickly on the internet. With the digitization of the University's activities, the Knowledge Warehouse has been directly connected to UEH's CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. Therefore, learners can use the "Requirement Management" feature on the Knowledge Warehouse to send support requests/ questions to functional units at UEH; the system will automatically put information into CRM and transfer it to functional departments to respond to learners according to the committed time instead of having to go directly to functional units to receive support and information as before. Learners will receive feedback from UEH via personal email. Management, caring, and support system for CRM partners/ learners UEH has built and officially put into operation the CRM system of management, caring, and support for partners/ students for functional units of the university. The birth of CRM aims to improve the quality of student support and care, to accompany and ensure the best experience for learners at UEH. All channels for receiving information about the University (Email, Phone, Social Network, UEH Knowledge Warehouse, UEH applications for students, ...) through the reception focal point is the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) integrated into the CRM system. Learners and partners will contact when there is a support request or questions from these information channels, and it will be automatically received and assigned to functional units for handling. The system will open a ticket for each partner/ learner's support request. The entire process of receiving information and processing requests will have an email notification for learners and partners to contact for follow-up. The CRM system connects directly with the data of learners, prospective learners, and partners to form a common database throughout UEH. Support requests from partners/ learners from all reception channels are centrally stored to facilitate optimal request handling. With the utilities on the system, partners/ learners can be completely assured because questions will always be received, handled, and responded to quickly and accurately. In addition, to improve service quality and listen to suggestions for activities at UEH, each request on the system, when completed, will have a service quality survey by partners/ students to the rating and feedback system. Online sales page for the community In 2022, UEH first launched the UEH Community Shop online sales page with products for the community. Here, UEHers can easily find useful economic books as well as creative products bearing the brand colors of the UEH community. In particular, UEH Community Shop operates with the policy of non-profit sales; the difference between revenue and expenditure will be contributed to the Giving to UEH Fund to reinvest in talent incubation activities and international investment, knowledge dissemination, and sustainable action projects of the school. Pioneering the journey of digital transformation towards a smart university and meeting the training requirements of the new trend, UEH is constantly making efforts to bring quality products for education and training at the School.

The seminar was successfully held with more than 50 speakers, nearly 100 participants at the Hall of The University of Tokyo, more than 300 people online on the Zoom/livestream platform, and several broadcast bridges at universities in Vietnam. Attending the seminar, on the side of UEH representatives, there were: Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang - Vice Rector of UEH College of Business (COB); Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Thu - Vice Dean of School of International Business - Marketing; Dr. Hoang Cuu Long - Vice Dean of Faculty of International Business - Marketing; with UEH lecturers and students. The seminar had the participation of speakers including Mr. Chikahisa Sumi - Director of the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, International Monetary Fund (IMF); Mr. Kazunobu Hayakawa - Center for Developing Countries Research in Thailand; Dr. Do Thi Hai Ninh - Lecturer at UEH College of Business; Dr. Nguyen Bich Ngoc - Lecturer at National Economics University. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Thanh Trang and UEH lecturers and students participated from the beginning of the Vietnamese bridge Speakers attending the conference At the beginning of the discussion session, Mr. Chikahisa Sumi - Director of the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, International Monetary Fund (IMF) delivered a speech on “World Economic Outlook: Inflation and Uncertainty". The slowdown in global economic activity was broader and stronger than expected, with inflation higher than levels seen in decades. The economic outlook depends on the successful adjustment of fiscal and monetary policies. The evolution of the war in Ukraine and growth prospects in China. Risks are still unusually large: monetary policy may miscalculate stance to reduce inflation; different policy lines in the largest economies could exacerbate the appreciation of the US dollar; global financial tightening could cause debt distress in emerging markets; and the worsening of China's real estate sector crisis could undermine growth. Policymakers should focus on restoring price stability and easing cost-of-living pressures. Multilateral cooperation is still needed to accelerate the green energy transition. Mr. Chikahisa Sumi shared on “World Economic Outlook: Inflation and Uncertainty” Next, Mr. Kazunobu Hayakawa - Center for Developing Countries Research in Thailand, shared the Impact of the US-China trade conflict in Southeast Asia. The study examines the effects of the US-China tariff war on exports to the US in Southeast Asian countries and their imports from China. To do that, the study estimates different equations for monthly trade between January 2018 and December 2019. The results indicate that a number of Southeast Asian countries have increased exports to the United States. Some countries increase their imports from China. Most countries experienced increased exports to the United States or imports from China. Exceptions include Cambodia and Vietnam, which both increase. In particular, some evidence has been found suggesting that products made in China are re-exported to the United States through Vietnam in order to evade tariffs imposed by the United States on China. Mr. Kazunobu Hayakawa shared about the Impact of the US-China trade conflict in Southeast Asia Dr. Do Thi Hai Ninh - Lecturer at UEH UEH College of Business, conducted a study on "The impact of innovation factors on the performance of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam during the Covid-19 period". Based on 450 valid responses from senior employees, managers, and senior executives of Vietnamese enterprises, the study examined the role of mediating organizational resilience and the resilience of business networks on the relationship between co-innovation and performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as examining the regulatory effects of the impact of Covid-19 in the context of a single emerging market. The results of the study show that there is a significant and favorable relationship between innovation and SME performance. This result implies that innovation can improve the performance of small and medium enterprises. Dr. Do Thi Hai Ninh shared about “Impact of innovation factors on the performance of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam during the Covid-19 period.” Finally, Dr. Nguyen Bich Ngoc - Lecturer of National Economics University, shared a study on "The heterogeneous impact of non-tariff technical measures on imported agricultural products of Vietnam". The sharing points out the growing importance of non-tariff measures (NTMs), especially technical ones, in today's international trade, posing challenges for many countries, especially Least Developed Countries (LDCs), to promote international trade. This study examines the impact of non-tariff technical measures, especially Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) measures imposed by Vietnam Government on imported agricultural products. The paper shows that, although very complex measures tend to have a negative impact on imports from LDCs, they have a positive effect on imports from non-LDCs. Interestingly, technical non-tariff measures positively affect imports from LDCs. The paper also shows that the facilitation effect of extensive trade agreements on member countries' compliance with technical non-tariff measures is very limited. Dr. Nguyen Bich Ngoc shared her research on "The heterogeneous impact of non-tariff technical measures on imported agricultural products of Vietnam" With an open atmosphere, the guests shared up-to-date scientific information. Discussion sessions were lively and attracted the interest of many researchers.

December 15, 2022 At the discussion session on December 15, Prof. James Morley from the United States gave a presentation on the topic “Phenomenology, Mindfulness and Intercultural Understanding”, discussing phenomenology, full consciousness, and intercultural awareness. He discussed the mechanical approach of natural science, which views man as an objective governed by social dynamics and natural selection, Prof. Morley reaffirms people's ability to create reality and change the world through the practice of empathy between people. According to him, positive empathy will arise when people find their original consciousness, and actively practice sympathetic and loving thinking, instead of approaching the machine, which is a cold and rational science, excluding unprovable states of mind. The phenomenological methodology is a tool to help us realize subjectivity and the importance of consciousness in creating and defining the world, and through that, Prof. Morley also recalled the profound conceptual achievements that the ancient easterners had long been enlightened with. Professor, Dr. James Morley (USA) presenting Following the plenary session, on the morning of December 15, the last discussion session on the field of jurisprudence was held with the chairperson being Dr. Nguyen Thi Anh - Vice Dean of School of Law, CELG.

Together with the QS Asia Top 401+ ranking, this result is not only a testament to the quality of UEH's education and training but also a solid foundation on the journey to becoming a prestigious Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University in the region and the world. University of Economics Ho Chi Minh, in the process of renewing the development strategy for the period of 2020-2025, with a vision to 2035, focuses mainly on quality assurance and accreditation at the educational institution level and training programs. The University continuously implements comprehensive quality management and activities related to training, scientific research, and service provision, at the same time, committed to providing the best products for society. Following the successes in the period of 2015-2020 in terms of quality assurance and quality accreditation, in 2022 the university has actively developed the declaration of Self-Assessment at the educational institution level and the Self-Assessment of 05 training programs for Undergraduate programs including Business Administration, Marketing, Commercial Business, Real Estate, and Accounting according to the European International Standard. In August 2022, the University invited FIBAA (International Foundation for Business Administration Accreditation) to conduct an external assessment of 05 training programs and evaluate them outside the UEH Educational Institution. FIBAA experts interviewed UEH leaders, leaders of functional management units, Faculty leaders, Directors of training programs, lecturers, students, and alumni to appraise and evaluate objectively training programs and institutions based on the FIBAA quality assessment standards. Interview sessions were conducted on the principle of honesty, objectivity, and the right subjects, and met the regulations of FIBAA. After the results of the external assessment, on November 30, 2022, the FIBAA Certification and Accreditation Committee met and agreed to the decision to accredit FIBAA standards for all 05 training programs and educational institutions for the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. The certificate of FIBAA quality mark granted to the educational institution is valid from November 30, 2022, to November 29, 2028. The certificate of FIBAA quality mark granted to the Training Programs is valid from November 30, 2022, to November 29, 2027. In particular, UEH has achieved 34/36 evaluation criteria at the educational institution level with a rate of 94.4%. As of December 2022, UEH has had 9 training programs meeting European standards recognized by FIBAA. The university is also the first higher education institution in the country to achieve international accreditation for the Education institutions of FIBAA. International FIBAA certification for accrediting educational institutions and 05 training programs of UEH FIBAA is an inspection organization that operates around the world and uses European international testing standards and is recognized in many countries, including Vietnam. The FIBAA accreditation confirms that UEH's curriculum and institution-level accreditation have met the basic standards of the European higher education system. Based on European quality assessment standards, FIBAAA also makes recommendations for improvement for UEH in the near future to continue to improve the quality of university administration as well as training programs. Thus, the success of the higher education quality examination according to European standards has affirmed UEH's position in training and providing high-quality human resources for the country, especially in the southern region. This success also shows the correctness of the University in its strategic policy to develop into a multidisciplinary, multi-field, and international research university. This is also the result of the active, creative, quality, and responsible work for learners and society, the consensus and synergy of all UEH staff over many generations. It is expected that in the inspection route of 2023 - 2025, UEH will test an average of 6 to 7 training programs per year according to FIBAA standards. On the route of internationalization, UEH verifies that education quality inspection is a key task and regularly self-evaluates and improves quality in order to meet the educational quality inspection standards of reliable accrediting organizations in the country and the world.

Several countries around the world officially recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender. Besides, cryptocurrencies also have the potential to replace circulating currency, which is part of the monetary system from the balance sheets of central banks. With potential benefits in payment transactions, how will digital currencies affect the exchange rate and what is the appropriate policy in the management and application of the monetary policy of Vietnam in the upcoming time? Let's find out the following article. Regulations on the use of Digital Currency in Vietnam In Vietnam, the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam consider digital currency as a virtual asset (virtual currency) and do not consider digital currency as a currency or a means of payment, using digital currency in Vietnam as a means of payment is a violation of the law as prescribed in Clause 6, Clause 7, Article 1 of Decree 80/2016/ND-CP, amending and supplementing several articles of Decree 101/2012/ND-CP on non-cash payment. However, with the undeniable benefits that digital currency brings and more importantly, the needs of people, these currencies will likely be gradually recognized soon. Based on the Decision No. 1255/QD-TTg approving the project to complete the legal framework for the management and handling of virtual assets, cryptocurrencies, and virtual currencies, "construct and perfect the law on virtual assets, cryptocurrencies, and virtual currencies in order to ensure corresponding risks to control and minimize these risks, but not to affect creativity and innovative start-ups, ensuring flexibility to in line with the change in the continuous development of information technology and e-commerce”. Some popular digital currencies in the world *Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates based on blockchain technology. Bitcoin is mainly traded on online cryptocurrency exchanges. Unlike central banks that can arbitrarily adjust the supply of fiat currencies, the supply of Bitcoin is fixed and cannot be influenced by political decisions. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that is not issued by a government or a financial institution but is created and operated based on a system of computers connected to the peer-to-peer internet. Many believe that digital currency can be used for international money laundering. For example, the world's central banks have been skeptical of Bitcoin because it cannot be monitored, predicted, or tracked. The digital currency has become a power in itself because it helps control the financial power of governments and banks. Digital currencies like Bitcoin have created a new market where, unlike the current financial system, no single entity has full control. Cyberspace is set to be the custodian of this disruptive market, and the near-zero transaction costs make digital currencies superior to traditional currencies in many ways. Bitcoin trading is an uncharted area for global central banks. From the money supplier's point of view, international transactions decrease the money supply from one country and increase the money supply in another. This transaction is done without the use of central banks and global intermediaries. First, many digital currency users feel that decentralized exchanges are more suitable for the decentralized structure of most digital currencies; Many decentralized exchanges also require less personal information from members than other types of exchanges. Second, if users transfer assets directly to other users, it eliminates the need to transfer assets to exchange, thereby reducing the risk of theft from hacks and other fraud. *Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum (ETH) was introduced by founder Vitalik Buterin in late 2013 and the system was launched in 2015. Launched in July 2015, Ethereum is the largest and well established decentralized software platform. As of January 2021, Ethereum has a market capitalization of $138.3 billion, roughly 19% of the size of bitcoin (VNA, 2021). Also on the Blockchain platform, an Ethereum blockchain is similar to the Bitcoin blockchain. Blockchain technology is being used to create applications that go far beyond allowing just one digital currency. The main difference is that Ethereum blocks not only contain the block number, difficulty, etc., but also the most recent transaction and status list. For every transaction in the transaction list, a new state is created by applying the previous state. Impact of digital currencies on exchange rates With the development of the digital economy, the emergence of a new private digital currency has replaced some functions of the traditional currency. Digital currency based on blockchain technology, with high transaction efficiency, low transaction costs, and avoiding inflation to maintain asset value and privacy, has stimulated the popularity of stateless monetization. One of the reasons that affect the exchange rate is the price volatility of digital currencies, for example, an increase in the price of Bitcoin will lead to investors tending to invest in the real currency, through which the exchange rate will appreciate. On the other hand, the supply of digital currency has the potential to impact the monetary system in which four indicators are used to quantify the impact of digital currencies on the change of the monetary system including cash ratio, digital currency level, a financial electronic level, and interest rate. Digital currency products have the potential to replace central bank currencies, thus affecting the money supply. Central bank currency is a component in all monetary aggregates. In each country, the monetary system has different characteristics in the mechanism of operating the exchange rate, especially the exchange rate. Digital currency can influence this mechanism. The monetary system is considered the heart of the market economy in every country, and the central bank is the primary authority to control the monetary system. If digital currencies are needed, central banks should be the issuers. This plays a catalytic role in innovation, promoting competition and efficiency in the monetary payment system. The ongoing digital revolution could lead to a complete departure from the traditional model of currency exchange. Digital currencies can separate the roles of currencies, creating more intense competition between specialized currencies, and affecting the value of other countries currencies. However, many documents report the effect of a very low decrease in currency in circulation due to the rise of cryptocurrencies. In addition, digital currency offers the potential for easier and cheaper access to finance but raises the specter of reduced privacy and potentially unsafe financial transactions. However, just as digital technology has not created a paperless office, digital currency is unlikely to completely replace existing forms of money but can affect exchange rates. There is no denying that the portability of currency instruments and interoperability between platforms will play an important role in lowering barriers to trade and promoting competition. Therefore, many countries have also introduced monitoring systems for digital currencies as a guarantee for the national monetary system in general and the exchange rate in particular. Digital currency monitoring system (Source: Li et al., 2019) Policies suggested for Vietnam Based on collected data sources and through the Pearson correlation test, and multiple linear regression method, the author has made policy suggestions for financial market managers, especially the agencies responsible for monitoring the movements of digital currencies and exchange rates as follows: First, defining the role of central banks and private intermediaries will ensure the maintenance of a two-tier financial system and more stable monetary policy implementation and financial stability.. Second, based on completing the legal corridor for the development of digital, agencies and sectors need to come up with mechanisms in transactions to prevent electronic crimes, money laundering, etc. To do this, it is necessary to have a connection between countries, and establish a process to control the issuance and circulation of electronic money to limit money laundering and counterfeiting, thereby creating a foundation for a more efficient national currency policy. Third, developing a national payment system to ensure efficiency and limit risks for cross-border payment transactions related to digital currency, as well as strengthening international cooperation in digital currency management between countries. In addition, although it has not yet recognized digital currency as a legal transaction and investment in Vietnam, according to the world trend, Vietnam in the future will have access to digital money, until then, to support the innovation and needs of the burgeoning digital currency industry, it is necessary to develop systems for defining digital currencies and examine regulatory frameworks for their possible impact on with further technology adoption and diffusion.

This has led to challenges in the current tax management model in Vietnam. From the analysis of the current situation and experience of developed countries in tax management for E-commerce, the author has proposed appropriate recommendations to control, to manage and to exploit revenue from E-commerce tax more effectively in the context of the digital economy. This article is honored to receive the A prize from the Tax Writing contest with E-commerce organized by the Journal of Tax - General Department of Taxation Vietnam. Digital transformation is occuring rapidly on a global scale and has become a leading development trend in the world since the industrial revolution 4.0 was initiated. The development of E-commerce, one of the most popular digital-based business forms, is strongly affecting many areas of socio-economic life in many countries. This trend is gradually changing the consumer culture of consumers and the way enterprises do business. Facing the rapid development of E-commerce, businesses need to change their strategies, production processes and business models accordingly to survive and develop. However, in the context of the growing digitalization trend, the traditional tax management model in Vietnam gradually reveals many difficulties and inadequacies. Although there have been the first reform steps, in general, the tax administration for e-commerce in our country is still not effective. If this challenge is overcome, this will be a great opportunity to exploit the revenue from the inevitable and strong development trend of this business form. Challenges in tax administration for e-commerce from a theoretical perspective E-commerce activities are the conduct of part or the whole process of commercial activities by electronic means connected to the Internet, mobile telecommunications networks or other open networks. Accordingly, digital-based operations are the basic feature of E-commerce compared to other traditional business forms. E-commerce is posing many challenges to tax administration in many aspects. This increases the possibility of tax loss or the risk of double taxation, causing unfairness between traditional and online transactions. Reviewing and synthesizing from previous studies, the author identifies challenges in tax mangement for E-commerce as follows: The first challenge arises from the very digital nature of E-commerce. These digital factors make it difficult for tax authorities to control and to monitor how transactions are done. Second, the development of e-commerce is associated with the expansion of multi-party business models and multiple payment methods. These models pose many challenges to traditional tax administration because it is difficult to authenticate business entities and transaction values. Third, the above tax management issues are more complicated when paid in virtual currency or through virtual banks. Telecommunications companies are becoming increasingly important because this form of business relies heavily on their telecommunications infrastructure. Fourth, internationally, the development of digital business models in general and E-commerce in particular has led to non-residents being able to operate in a country's market. Determining which countries are entitled to tax is also controversial because it is fundamentally different from the designed international tax rules. Challenges in tax administration for e-commerce in Vietnam today From the analysis of the current situation and a brief review of relevant studies in Vietnam, the challenges of tax administration for e-commerce in Vietnam can be summarized as follows: Firstly, there is no separate legal document specifying tax obligations for E-commerce. The lack of specific regulations for E-commerce as a profession creates many difficulties in tax administration of these types. Secondly, for the E-commerce model, transactions are carried out online, so companies and business individuals do not need a physical presence such as company headquarters and stores like traditional businesses. Third, internationally, the determination of tax obligations in some cases of transnational e-commerce business is very difficult and complicated by the non-visible presence of business entities. Finally, the problem of determining the implementation of transactions through E-commerce business models in Vietnam is more difficult and complicated when the popular payment method in our country is still cash. Cash has been a popular payment method for e-commerce orders in Vietnam (Photo source: Vietnamnet) Lessons learned on tax administration for E-commerce in some countries With its strong growth, E-commerce is the main focus of tax debates in many countries around the world. Drawing from tax administration practices in some countries, lessons learned in tax administration for this subject can be summarized as follows: Regarding the drafting and issuance of legal documents on tax: In March 2019, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) also issued the document “The role of the creator of the digital platform in the collection of VAT/sales tax on online business activities”.  Accordingly, the OECD recommends that countries require E-commerce platforms to have full and sole responsibility for determining the payable tax amount of orders, collecting and paying tax on behalf of the tax authorities. This has been successfully applied in developed countries listed as the UK, the US, Germany, and Australia, which have deployed and collected taxes through e-commerce platforms. In accordance with US tax law, digital platforms listed as Google, Facebook ... are responsible for collecting tax information of entities operating on the platform regardless of individuals or organizations to make deductions and report to the US tax agencies. If individuals and organizations do not properly declare their obligations, they will be deducted from their total worldwide income as at the rate of 24% applied by Google. This is considered an effective method in collecting taxes from individuals earning income from activities on foreign E-commerce platforms. Regarding tax registration: Tax authorities in OECD countries handle most tax registrations of both businesses and individuals. In terms of ways taxpayers can register for taxes, most OECD countries provide more than one channel for taxpayers to use. The OECD report shows that 80% of individuals register online or through a mobile app. Regarding the authentication of transaction subjects and arising transactions: The authentication of taxpayer data in OECD countries through the digital environment is relatively effective with a variety of methods. Most OECD countries have strict procedures in place to ensure that the person doing the transaction is actually the taxpayer. In order to determine the customer's location, some countries require the merchant to collect information about the billing address, the IP address of the device used, bank details or the country code by phone number. Finally, once registered, the business will have to file a tax return. In countries like Turkey or Mexico, suppliers are required to report monthly VAT collected. Several OECD countries are now expanding multi-step authentication, using taxpayers’ biometric information for identification, authentication and security. Regarding tax filing and payment: OECD countries offer high levels of electronic filing and payment of taxes with a view to taxpayer convenience and security as well as reduced administrative costs. Two notable progress points to the efforts of OECD countries' governments in tax administration in general and tax administration for the digital economy in particular are: (1) Automatic data exchange; (2) “pre-fill” mechanism for individual and corporate taxpayers. Regarding payment of tax obligations, OECD countries also offer a variety of tax payment methods. In Canada, citizens have various options for how to pay their taxes (banking online, paying online with a debit or credit card, setting up a pre-authorized debit, paying at financial institutions or checks by mail). In it, it is interesting that tax payments are also made using a personalized quick response code (QR). Regarding tax examination, tax inspection and cross-border taxpayer information exchange: Shi et al. (2019), Li (2017) and Yu (2018) all point out the need for a coordination mechanism between agencies. Tax administration with relevant government agencies, especially with customs authorities in tax inspection and examination for cross-border e-commerce in China. Meanwhile, the OECD report (2019) notes that although actual tax audits are still the main testing activity in OECD countries, modern risk assessment models and good quality data sources are providing tax authorities with more efficient ways of doing some specialized work. Accordingly, external data sources (international information exchange) play an important role. Proposing tax management solutions for e-commerce From the theoretical basis and analysis of the situation, the author proposes a number of solutions for tax management for e-commerce as follows: (1) Applying digital to tax administration and upgrading information technology infrastructure capable of monitoring, controlling and effectively managing taxes for E-commerce business models. (2) Completing the legal framework on tax policy and tax administration in a specific and comprehensive way for digital business models. (3) Continuing administrative reform by simplifying and taking advantage of digital listed as online tax declaration and payment, online portal for organizations and individuals (including foreign enterprises) to facilitate convenience in tax compliance. (4) Focusing on developing and improving the quality of specialized human resources with both tax expertise and information technology expertise, moving towards establishing specialized departments to manage these types. (5) Promoting negotiations with regional and international countries to set out common rules on tax administration, determining the right to tax transactions and income arising from digital business models. The article is expected to bring a certain reference value for tax authorities in reforming tax policy and tax administration for e-commerce in the upcoming time.

In the moment of celebrating 46 years of the establishment of UEH University (October 27, 1976 - October 27, 2022), let's look back at the mark of one-year effort towards operating the new generation University Model of UEH: a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University One-year transformation into a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University After 46 years of strong development in terms of internationalization direction, continuous innovation in accordance with the market signals and well meeting the needs of the country’s economic development and contributing to human knowledge, in the new period under Impact of Industrial Revolution 4.0, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has pioneered the strategy of becoming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University. This is a common trend in the world towards helping promote multidisciplinary research and training capacity with the purpose of meeting the diverse needs of the market, accessing to outstanding training, research and consulting projects to solve global problems for community cohesion thanks to the foundation of knowledge values, sustainable action. This new direction elevates UEH’s brand position, opening up opportunities for ranking and promotion on prestigious international rankings. To be more in details, the development process regarding one Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University from the current time to 2030 will comprise 2 phases: -         Phase 1 (2021 - 2025): Forming a multi-disciplinary and multi-major University in Economics, Business - Management, Social Science and Technology on the basis of restructuring University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City into a comprehensive University with 3 Member Colleges including: UEH College of Business (COB); UEH College of Economics, Government and Law (CEGL); UEH College of Technology and Design (CTD). -        Phase 2 (2026 - 2030): UEH forms one International College and upgrades UEH Vinh Long Branch into a University of the Mekong Delta region, promoting international training and expanding local development, being recognized within Asia with a ranking in the 500 Best Universities in Asia. At the same time, UEH focuses on building and developing the 5 strategic pillars of a Sustainable University, taking contribution to the sustainable future of the community and society as a destination, including: (1) Citizenship training global - Sustainable action; (2) Research for the benefit of the community; (3) Operation: From clean campus to Green University; (4) One community of those who inspire and lead the change towards the sustainable development; (5) Governance: Prioritizing sustainable development. With the new strategy, UEH wishes to create the image of a new-generation university with the following characteristics: (1) Quality - Reliability - Sustainability; (2) Integration; (3) Innovation - Technology; (4) Inspiring - Happiness - Leading. These strategic orientations have received the full support and consensus from all UEHer Community and gradually created a different position of UEH University in terms of the fields of training, research, and knowledge transfer, connection and community development. On October 27, 2021, UEH officially launched 3 UEH member universities, starting the restructuring strategy to form a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University In line with the new journey, UEH has flexibly been operated under the model of UEH University - Member College - Affiliated Divisions in a methodical and resolute manner, in the direction of increasing sovereignty for Member College, specifically: 03 Member College under UEH have the functions of training, scientific research, international cooperation and providing scientific services, consulting, technology transfer in the fields of responsibility and operation with the structure includes: Council of Science & Training at College; Faculties and Institutes; UEH Department of Administration and Center of Continuing Education. UEH Member Colleges operate under the Board of Management of Member Colleges together with UEH Board of Management. At the same time, there is a close association, coordination and support in training activities, scientific research, international cooperation and other activities to implement UEH’s common development strategy. At the same time, the relationship among the Member Colleges and other UEH-affiliated Units is a relationship of coordination and support. Other UEH-affiliated Units facilitate, guide, train, coach and foster in relevant professional knowledge for UEH Member Colleges. UEH has flexibly operated under the University - Member Colleges - Subsidiary model in an organized and committed manner, in the direction of increasing sovereignty for the Member Colleges Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University Operation Model: A solid foundation for the 10-year journey (2021 - 2030) Looking back over the past year, UEH, despite transformation in accordance with extremely new and fundamental strategies management and operation methods with gradual improvement, has been maintaining stability along with the inherent development momentum and initially achieved extremely positive results. UEH Member Colleges together with UEH Vinh Long Branch have gradually stabilized, becoming the UEH University’s pioneer squad, increasing UEH’s influence on the map of multidisciplinary, high-quality training and research, prestige, integration and creativity both domestically and internationally. “The fact that the past year can be called a year of “completely speedy” transformation for all UEH individuals and units has been absolutely true to the spirit of UEHer so far. We – UEHers - are not afraid to change and always ready for change, for alternation, for modification towards more positive, pioneering and sustainable things” - Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council shared. * The insight and the flexible and innovative management perspective of UEH’s Management Team UEH’s innovation in the past 46 years comes from the modern, long-range, quick-to-trend management thinking, being flexible to deployment methods and readiness to change under the supervision of UEH Management Team. This important foundation has created a pioneering digitized higher education environment, applying what the world's top universities are doing, selectively learning sustainable governance tools from other universities, enterprise organizations, and seriously invest resources in time. The establishment of the Steering and Executive Committee of the “Sustainable UEH University to 2030” Project in early 2022 as a dedicated team, paving the way for specific activities on development and sustainable action of the university is one persuasive example. The fact that this premise creates confidence for UEH’s strategy in restructuring the UEH University into one Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University will step by step become one reality. “Democracy - Publicity - Fairness” has always been the consistent principle in UEH University’s management and administration activities. All members of the UEH family are equal, have their rights guaranteed, and regularly participate in decision-making and implementation towards policies, activities and programs. The organization of the management and administration apparatus is carried out in accordance with the democratic mechanism, through widely contributing opinions, voting to elect reputable leaders at all levels of Units and Organizations, etc. Rules and regulations are disclosed to employees. It is the correct directions, timely resolution of difficulties, and policies to encourage and create conditions for each UEH individual, unit and collective helps to promote their role and to contribute their strength in the development strategy of UEH University. *Effectiveness of the management decentralization model, increasing sovereignty for Member Colleges The development spaces created by the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University Model have been fully exploited by the leadership team of the Member Colleges, helping the Faculties, Departments, Institutes and Units under UEH University to realize their full potential and to expand the ecosystem of training, research and connection in the direction of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary. Since then, more quality activities and programs have been implemented in the past time. Along with a clearly-oriented UEH University development strategy, UEH Member Colleges make a difference in the development journey on the one hand and together create a unified strategic perfect whole on the other hand, promoting UEH University’s general direction. *The unremitting efforts of UEH General Department – UEH Member Colleges The General Department of UEH Member College is an important link that conveys UEH University’s strategy of Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University, 05 pillars of Sustainability to UEH Member College; deploying work among UEH Member Colleges and other UEH-affiliated Units, especially connecting the Units within UEH Member Colleges. Although being newly established with less-than-one-year operation, Managers and personnel from 3 General Departments have proven their cohesive role, performing these important administrative and administrative support functions, contributing greatly to stable coordination among stakeholders throughout UEH University. The same role of UEH Center of Short-term Training is the focal point for implementing short-term training activities of UEH University. With the right steps in the past year, 03 UEH Member Colleges have been gradually asserting their brands and missions in the following activities: College administration; Training high-quality human resources to meet the needs of the labor market; Increasing scientific research activities; Promoting international cooperation strategy; Serving the community and building and developing society. Member Colleges and Vinh Long Branch strive to do scientific research and transfer knowledge to serve the community Member Colleges and Vinh Long Branch promote cooperation agreements with enterprises *Independent operation capacity and proactive coordination spirit of Units and Departments under UEH University Along with UEH Member Colleges, the independent operation capacity of UEH-affiliated Training Units, including: School of Foreign Languages, School of Social Sciences, has increased strongly, achieving a variety of achievements in terms of training, scientific research, community service, in parallel with the strategic goals that UEH University has set. At the same time, the proactive coordination and support of UEH Functional Units with each other and with Member Colleges have significantly contributed to the operation of the new UEH University model in the past time. Today’s initial successes are proof that UEH’s development strategy following the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University Model is correct. This important asset is a solid foundation for UEH to continue to be consistent with the goals set out on the next 10-year journey (2021 - 2030). “Not only 3 Member Colleges, I think all units at UEH in the past year have been absolutely enthusiastic. I don't use the word "fulfillment", I think people have performed more than they have. With this way of thinking and doing, I do believe that UEH University will have a journey of 10 years with more achievements and hallmarks” - Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh, President of UEH asserted. Being prepared for the transition from UEH to UEH University On the occasion of the 46th Anniversary of the Establishment of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) (October 27, 1976 - October 27, 2022), being grateful and proud of the achievements of the previous generations, UEH is ready to fight internally with the purpose of marking the transition from UEH to UEH University.

Let's listen to the sharing of Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen here! Dear UEH Freshmen, Today marks an important turning point in your lives - in the future, you will definitely be excellent economists, talented managers, new generation entrepreneurs serving the development and prosperity of the country. And only you yourselves can "determine" for the "future" of your life. Therefore, you must constantly learn and nurture yourselves in a new environment to enrich your knowledge and experience. Today's era is the century of the knowledge economy, learning to assert ourselves, learning in life is the work of our whole life. Success only comes to those who are persistent, quick-witted and know how to seize opportunities to realize their dreams Many people know me as a successful businessman, but perhaps few people know that, to reach this position, I had to go through difficult and arduous days as a student, car washer, and work in the middle of the snow in the US to earn money to study and to fulfill the dream of finishing postgraduate studies in the US. When I graduated from college, I had to compete fiercely with hundreds of local and international bachelor, master and doctoral candidates, with the same determination to capture an attractive job - that is the position of financial inspector Boeing subcontractor of the US. In order to pass the extremely difficult interview and compete with hundreds of candidates, I had to carefully study "How do Americans choose candidates?". In addition to the required professional criteria, most will receive additional points when there are letters of recommendation from companies or famous people. Through communication and acquaintance, I asked them to get recommendations, confirming my enthusiasm, as well as my ability to attach these documents to the interview application. With high concentration and sharp financial skills, I pointed out the flaw in the tax reporting system, made a strong impression on the Board of Directors and I was immediately hired. I want to share with you: “A lot of people know how to dream, but success only comes to those who are persistent, quick, thinking, planning and preparing to seize the opportunity to realize that dream." Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen emphasizing that the young generation needs to know how to actively seize opportunities to realize their dreams Don't ask what the country has done for us; ask what we have done for the country In 1985, when I was living a stable life with a very high salary in the US. When I recognized that the country was still too difficult and so many Vietnamese crossing the border were robbered and killed at sea, I cannot stay still. My deep patriotism and the spirit of dedication to help Vietnam get out of the "economic embargo" prompted me to decide to bring my family back to Vietnam, and boldly step into the Presidential Palace, Philippines to ask President Marcos for approval to open a flight route from Vietnam to Manila. On September 9, 1985, the first flight of the national airline of Vietnam officially landed at Manila airport, this is a big turning point and the premise of the development history of Vietnamese aviation industry, connecting Vietnam to the world, contributing to opening up and developing Vietnam's economy. For me, this is the duty of a patriotic son with the mission of "The one who opens the way" and a great personal pride, because I have devoted myself to my beloved compatriots and country. I always love the saying: "Don't ask what the country has done for us, but ask what we have done for the country". Living and working as a kind person After successfully connecting the historic route between Vietnam and the Philippines, I was invited by Mr. Pham Van Dong, who was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers at that time, to Hanoi. At that time, Uncle Tran Quynh - Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Deputy Prime Minister) grasped my hand and advised: "Firstly, when doing business in Vietnam, you must be patient and persistent. Second, you have to follow the law and the regulations, then the Party, State, Government and People will protect you." I always follow the instructions of Mr. Tran Quynh. At the beginning, the business environment in Vietnam was still risky, with no clear legal framework; therefore it was not easy to invest or convince foreign investors to enter Vietnam. However, despite times of failure, with perseverance and without fear of difficulties, I always have the orientation: long-term investment with ‘no speculation’ chasing short-term profits, doing business transparently, complying with the law. With this determination, I have built an IPP Group like today, gaining the trust of leaders and creating a reputation and brand in the domestic and international markets. I am 72 years old this year, experienced many ups and downs in my life, 6 years of student life (04 years studying at the School of Business Administration - Da Lat University, 2 years studying a Master Degree in the US) and 45 years as a decent businessman. I prefer to using the word ‘kind’ to ‘successful’, you can be a successful businessman; the point is if you are not kind, without having a heart and follow business ethics, obeying the law, success will only be for a period of time and unsustainable. Through my own experience, I would like to tell you that: - If you have determination and passion, ignore objections, believe in yourself, break all outdated rules and don't be afraid to fail. - Don't waste time waiting for the perfect opportunity and miss the right opportunity, let's embark on "small things" and focus with all your heart and mind to turn it into big things. - Don't settle down and easily surrender to difficult things, think of the best way to improve the situation, and don't let the current realities drown your aspirations. Billionaire Jack Ma said: "Today is difficult, tomorrow is even harder, but the day after tomorrow will be great." In my opinion, if you are discouraged before difficulties, sit with your arms crossed and wait for the next day, there will definitely not be a bright day after tomorrow! The spirit of entrepreneurship - Preparing for the future To prepare for the future, students must have an entrepreneurial spirit. Don't think that when we graduate, or when we have the conditions, we will start a business; but right from the time you are at university, as a student, think positively. In the current conditions, you have to realize your dream of starting a business to experience the preciousness of rubbing against reality, the creativity of your dreams and ambitions; Even if you fail, it is also a good lesson for you to firmly step back and continue with your own hands and minds to achieve success in the future. I have 2 tips on how to start a business for young people. In the first case, if your family has good conditions and has a company, you can study and practice at the same time from the smallest positions and gradually rise up. From my business experience of more than 40 years, I think that family is a good environment to teach you. In the second case, if your family does not have these good "conditions", it is necessary to work hard to find a job while trying to focus on studying well. I have to do something small when I graduate from university so that I can have a little practical experience to easily apply for a job, and do it wholeheartedly with whatever position I am "predestined" to receive for any position. Any position, any job will give you experience and knowledge later. Do not waste your time on "entertainment without intellectual value", gradually develop yourself, prove your ability in the organization to advance in your career. Once you have solid knowledge and experience, you can choose to "continue to work" or "build your own path for yourself and your family." Besides, they are studying in the context that the Vietnamese economy has many advantages in deep integration with the world besides facing many challenges in competing at the home country. However, the fierce and difficult competition will create pressure to change for us to think globally to improve and develop more. With this situation, do not waste your time, learn to update knowledge and news on the Internet - a huge store of free knowledge; you need to select reliable and valuable information. The students were lucky enough to be admitted to the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City which is one of the top economic and business management training universities in Vietnam in general and the Southern region in particular. This is a pillar of Vietnamese higher education system and a research center for economic and management policies for the government and large enterprises. Therefore, you should do your best in every role assigned by society and the country: In the family, be filial to your parents, get along with your brothers and sisters; At university, respect your lecturers, be friendly with your friends; At work, always know how to learn, has a spirit of readiness to take responsibility for society and the nation to become a useful citizen for society. And finally, a message I want to share with all of you is: "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together". Winning doesn't mean finishing first. The most important thing in life is not to win the race, but to help others rise together. There are many ways to win and there are many people who have won even though they are not the first to finish. In order for the economy to develop and the country to be strong, it is necessary not only to rely on a few excellent businesses to make it, but also to have a spirit of mutual support between large and small businesses. In Vietnam, we need a strategy to elevate a whole generation of strong, elite businesses and the young generation will be a generation of golden entrepreneurs that we are looking forward to. Wishing all students good health and success! The inspirational sharing of Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyengiving the generation of UEH students useful tips to prepare for their future knowledge and career.

At the same time, the public sector is also facing the opportunity to improve service quality towards higher efficiency and transparency through technology application in the operation and management process. However, digital transformation is one new problem in theory and practice. In accordance with the analysis of digital transformation in the three fields of health, education and public finance, the authors have clarified the challenges of digital transformation practice in the public sector in Vietnam today. From this foundation, some policy implications are given. Digital transformation in the public finance sector *Electronic Customs – Solutions for transparency enhancement The Viet Nam Automated Cargo Clearance System and the Vietnam Customs Intelligence Information System (VNACCS/VCIS) are being applied in the Customs sector. VNACCS/VCIS includes the following applications: Electronic declaration (e-Declaration); Electronic Manifest (e-Manifest); Electronic Invoice (e-Invoice); Electronic payment (e-Payment); Electronic C/O (e-C/O); Selectivity; Risk profile management/risk criteria; Management of import and export enterprises; Customs clearance and release of goods; Monitoring and control. Compared to the traditional customs procedures, the Viet Nam Automated Cargo Clearance System (VNACCS) has digitized the processes from: (1) Registration of customs declarations, (2) Inspection of goods, (3) Checking, determining prices and calculating taxes, (4) Paying taxes and other receivables. In addition, with the electronic customs clearance system, the connection among the Ministries/Departments becomes more convenient through the one-stop mechanism and shortening the green flow processing time to 1-3 days. In addition to increasing management efficiency, e-customs bring great benefits to businesses, such as: Simplifying administrative procedures, saving time and costs for businesses; Making tax payments independent of space and time; Minimizing information errors, Unifying the database of management agencies, Ensuring timely customs clearance of goods through coordination with commercial banks. Digital transformation has clearly improved efficiency in the customs field; at the same time, strengthening the trust and the satisfaction of businesses through increasing transparency in the management stages of state management agencies and shortening the time to carry out related procedures. *Electronic tax system – A “dual” solution for the tax field Until the beginning of 2021, the electronic tax declaration system has been widely deployed to 100% of tax branches under 63/63 Provinces and Cities across the country with the number of businesses registering to use the service reaching the rate of 98.86%. It can be stated that the deployed electronic tax system has comprehensively digitized processes from tax registration, tax declaration, tax payment, and tax refund - bringing a ‘win-win’ solution for the tax field. For businesses and individuals (referred to as users), the electronic tax system helps to cut down the time and cost of carrying out administrative procedures. Users of electronic tax services can completely declare and pay taxes at the office and monitor the results of the processing on the online system. In addition, service users receive a lot of support from the management agency (due to the reduced time in terms of directly processing documents) for those problems in the obligation performance. For State management agencies, the most obvious benefit of the electronic tax system is to streamline work activities and promote specialization in tax administration agencies. The tax industry has decreased the time for processing and storing documents as well as limited errors through information technology applications. In addition, the electronic tax system has performed very well in interdisciplinary online public services listed as real estate or automobile registration fees and so on. Digital transformation in the healthcare sector *Minimizing subclinical costs through IoT application Recently, many medical organizations have integrated IoT to provide healthcare solutions, from diagnosis and treatment to disease management and monitoring anytime, anywhere. The resolution of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is a specific example of IoT applications currently being used and exploited effectively by many medical facilities around the world. With the characteristics of imaging devices operating in accordance with DICOM standards and digital standards, PACS allows to connect, to store and to transfer data from imaging devices listed as magnetic resonance imaging (MR) scanners, computed tomography (CT), digital x-ray (DR), X-ray (CR), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound (Ultrasound), endoscopy (ES), mammography photos (MG), etc. to medical facilities for medical examination and treatment. In short, PACS is a medical imaging technology that provides a place to store, to retrieve, to manage, to distribute and to present images. This minimizes the traditional form of film printing at medical facilities, creating a favorable working environment for professional work in medical examination and treatment. The operation model of PACS shows that medical facilities applying PACS can improve the efficiency of line directing, save subclinical costs, etc. *AI Application in high-tech diagnosis and treatment Applications in cancer treatment: IBM WFO (IBM Watson for Oncology) supports doctors when making evidence-based treatment regimens. Currently, IBM WFO has collected and managed 15 million medical records, 300,000 world medical studies and 400,000 continuously updated medical books on common cancers listed as breast, lung, stomach, colon and rectum cancers. After the doctor enters the patient’s information into IBM WFO, the system will process and suggest treatment regimens in terms of the priority order of effectiveness and evidence for that regimen. The doctor will ultimately decide which regimen is the best for the patient. Applications in diagnostic imaging: Computer Aided Detection (CADe) or Computer Aided Diagnosis (CADx), machines with absolutely huge memory capacity will easily help doctors. Doctors analyze medical images much faster and more accurately. Applications in paraclinical tests: The computer will help doctors analyze and compare laboratory tests accurately and quickly, especially gold test thresholds, molecular biology tests, and genetics. In cancer treatment, targeted therapies are also of special interest to scientists. By using AI to analyze tumors at the molecular level and localize, the most suitable immunotherapy is selected because it does not affect healthy cells during treatment. *Telemedicine – Solutions to problems of health industry Telemedicine is a model of providing health care services, even at a distance. Remote medical examination and treatment include diverse different forms listed as: remote diagnosis and consultation (Remote diagnosing and teleconsulting system); remote monitoring system (Remote monitoring system); Remote intervention system; distance training (Remote education system, e-learning) and so on. This not only responds promptly in the case of taking advantage of the golden hour in an emergency but also contributes to reducing the rate of bypass when the patient stays at the primary level but still has the opportunity to be examined by a more confined specialist. In addition to the specific applications mentioned above, the digital transformation application in healthcare helps hospitals build electronic medical records, a solution that not only saves the cost of using documents but also helps to store patient health records, medical information search. In terms of preventive medicine, using electronic medical records will help the functional sector detect outbreaks early so that they can surround and prevent the disease from spreading. In the pharmaceutical industry, electronic medical record management helps drug regulatory agencies better manage prescription insert treatment and drug research stages. Digital transformation in the education sector * Distance learning (E-learning): a form of distance teaching and learning, is based on modern technological devices and Internet connections. Instructors and students can interact on the E-learning system using computers, tablets, or smartphones with Internet connection. * Simulated education: Augmented Reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are widely deployed in training and vocational training because it helps learners to have authentic experiences through 3D simulation, through which the lecture becomes practical, easy to understand-easy to remember, and attracts learners. * Smart library: A model that combines library with information technology and learning support services aims to provide the best services to meet users' needs. Problems and policy recommendations in terms of digital transformation activities in the public sector The digital transformation process in Vietnam's public sector has been implemented; in fact, some issues need more attention from management levels. Firstly, the fact that the policy lacks synchronization has not created an agreement, a consensus and correct understanding of digital transformation yet. On June 3, 2020, the Prime Minister signed and promulgated the National Digital Transformation Program with the goal of building a digital government, digital economy and digital society. This is a continuation and concretization of Resolution 52 of the Politburo on actively participating in the 4th Industrial Revolution. However, some organizations and individuals are not completely united on the concept of digital transformation; actually, they think this process only includes the application of technological advances to the work process or the digitization of data at the agency. From misunderstanding, it has led to incorrect ways of doing things, lack of consistency in direction, scattered investment and waste to society. Therefore, the issue of clarifying the content of the definition of digital transformation is an important requirement today. Secondly, information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure is an important contributor to the success of the digital transformation process. However, at present, infrastructure has not been synchronously invested in localities. Within the digital transformation process, the national digital infrastructure must be one step ahead to meet the new requirements of the explosion of smart devices connected to the Internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine communication. The nature of the Internet is open, based on open technology and open protocols; therefore, Vietnam, for safe development, needs to master the Internet infrastructure and cyberspace. Building digital infrastructure requires the participation of the entire political system, businesses and people from the central to local levels; there must be a legal framework for digital infrastructure, especially regarding data issues, and personal information protection. The two main issues that need to be solved in parallel are: (1) ensuring synchronous technology infrastructure to deploy digital transformation activities suitable to each industry and field and (2) ensuring operational technology capacity. Regarding capital, it is necessary to have appropriate priority mechanisms and policies to effectively mobilizing resources from society, the private sector, and foreign investment. Thirdly, human resources for digital transformation are lacking, especially high-quality human resources. Technological solutions and a change in working mechanisms and processes are accompanying the digital transformation process. Currently, engineers and programmers are “being hunted” by businesses with attractive income and remuneration. Meanwhile, public organizations face a lot of constraints on salary and bonus policies, leading to failure to retain talented people. In order to build high-quality human resources, it is necessary to issue and perfect policies to really treat and attract talents listed as salary, welfare, promotion opportunities, career development opportunities, autonomy and responsibility empowerment at work, transparency in the recruitment process, and so on. In the long term, it is necessary to promote the training of lecturers and researchers in digital technology, digital economy, and digital society, listed as artificial intelligence technology, blockchain, big data, cloud computing, digital finance, digital business, digital communication, and so on. Fourthly, many regulations and workflows are inadequate or inappropriate when applying the digital transformation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the legal system related to digital transformation by issuing guiding circulars, reviewing and adjusting working processes, and changing laws related to the digital transformation process. For example, in the health sector, if a medical examination and treatment model is to be deployed, remote consultation helps reduce the burden of upper-level medical facilities, limit contact with crowds, reduce the risk of cross-infection, and improve medical capacity. In the case of basic infrastructure, it is necessary to issue circulars regulating operating conditions in the network environment through industry standards. Suppose the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment has not been revised, especially in case problems arise upon remotely signing prescriptions. In that case, the remote medical examination and treatment solution will be congested. In terms of the education industry, regulations on online teaching and regulations on the organization of online exams need to be studied, promulgated, and guided by other educational institutions. In addition, the digital transformation process is associated with data collection, storage, and sharing. Therefore, depending on each industry, data issues need to be specified. Completing the legal corridor on digital transformation is one of the top priorities for conducting digital transformation. When a series of new technologies arise from the digital transformation process, leading to changes in business requirements, the accompanying legal system needs to be changed and supplemented as fast as possible.

In this development trend, in Vietnam, the application of AI technology in the fields of asset management, risk management and financial consulting services is being rather limited. Through the AI technology application trend in the Finance - Banking industry in Vietnam that was analyzed in part 1, part 2 of this article will present policy recommendations to develop AI technology in the current Vietnamese financial situation. Risks and challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Finance While a number of studies on AI in governance and finance highlight the advantages and the benefits of this technology in various applications, AI users should also be aware of some of its risks and disadvantages for financial asset management. These potential negative problems are often related to complexity, opacity, and dependence on data integrity (Figure 3). Understanding and interpreting the inferences made by most AI models is difficult, even, impossible. As the complexity of the task or algorithm increases, this opacity can make human supervision less effective, leading to a significant problem which can have consequences for the property manager in 3 ways as follows. Firstly, the difficulty in predicting how AI models will respond to big surprises or ‘black swan’ events like the Covid-19 epidemic can lead to systematic breakdown. Even AI algorithms, in the absence of unusually large events, can make the same mistakes at the same time, leading to the risk of a market crash. Because of the significant cost of producing AI algorithms, most asset management companies use the same tools and algorithms. As a result, systemic risks posed by AI are likely to occur more frequently and with greater severity than those in the past using traditional algorithms. What makes AI risky is its complexity and the ambiguity that make it very difficult for users to prevent such risks. Secondly, AI can make erroneous decisions based on incorrect estimates when data appears interfered or unrelated patterns occur in the data. Therefore, in cases where an investment fund is underperforming, it can be difficult to explain to investors how and why an investment strategy has failed, which can undermine the investors’ confidence towards the fund or even the industry. Furthermore, the “black box” characteristic of many AI systems raises the accountability issue and causes legal and compliance issues to become more difficult. Thirdly, data quality is also a significant risk upon using AI in the financial sector. Like other empirical models, AI models are based on data accuracy and completeness. Poor data quality can easily produce false signals as a very commonly used term to describe this phenomenon “garbage in, garbage out”. In addition, some researchers argue that the past data may generally not be fully representative of what may happen in the future. This shortcoming can be exacerbated when financial data series miss some key extreme events in the past, increasing the likelihood that AI models will fail to forecast when extreme events occur, for example, a financial crisis or an epidemic. On the other hand, the growing presence of AI in the financial investment industry and the reliance of asset managers on AI for day-to-day tasks can further increase the property managers’ security risks. Some recommendations for AI usage improvement in the financial sector Based on the analysis above, the authors propose some recommendations to improve the use of AI in the financial sector as follows. Firstly, the Vietnamese government has been very timely when it comes to policies that pave the way to explore and to facilitate the AI technology development in the present and in the future. However, the legal framework for implementing a regulatory sandbox for banking and financial services should be implemented as fast as possible in order to meet the needs of creativity and innovation using AI technologies in the financial service sector. Secondly, the biggest reason for this limitation to be mentioned is the quality of data in both quality and quantity in Vietnam on the financial sector has not been guaranteed. To be able to promote the wider application of AI in the financial sector, it is necessary to standardize financial statements and to promote the disclosure of financial information and business activities of enterprises that must be implemented before AI technology application can be thought of. Thirdly, with their data advantages, state agencies in charge of policy making can gradually deploy AI application in forecasting and analyzing data on the relevant macro-economy and financial industry. In particular, AI can be used as a warning tool for strong fluctuations in the macro-economy so that the appropriate response policies can be issued in a timely manner. Fourthly, using AI technology to ensure compliance with industry regulations and legal regulations, also known as Regulatory Technology (RegTech), should also be of interest and widespread in the financial industry and other related industries. Fifthly, as being used in an emerging economy, the use of AI technology will face a big psychological barrier from the users. Therefore, the leading role of large enterprises in the financial industry, especially large financial institutions in Vietnam, must be the pioneer in technological innovation and AI application more in these products/services. Policies regarding human resources and technical infrastructure development In addition, the policies to develop human resources and technical infrastructure are proposed as follows: Firstly, changing the training mindset at undergraduate and graduate institutions/universities is very important. Not only being in cooperation with economic organizations and financial institutions to create immediate human resources to meet temporary scarcity needs, universities in diverse fields (natural sciences, social sciences) need to work together to create training programs that combine the necessary knowledge and skills for specialized human resources for the Vietnamese digital economy. In order to cause this policy to become feasible, the leadership role of the Ministry of Education and Training, which is the main body that guides training policy on a macro scale, needs to be demonstrated. Secondly, promoting cooperation between financial institutions - banks as end users and specialized enterprises providing technical infrastructure and high-tech services. Beyond performing cooperation, creating an ecosystem of businesses specializing in providing services and technologies in the field of AI is essential. The success in applying technology to the payment field through the cooperation among payment technology enterprises and financial institutions listed as banks is a typical example and should be exploited to learn for success and failure lessons. Thirdly, the role of state management agencies in the banking and finance sector in creating a supportive environment for the development of AI technologies in the investment sector. Currently, there has been no government agency in the financial sector that has taken the lead in applying AI technology to policy management and macroeconomic management while state agencies are the most fully-resourced places in the development of infrastructure and AI technology. This creates a huge gap in dissemination and sets a good precedent for private sector adoption and AI technology use as well as consumer confidence. For the current trend, state agencies in the developed countries have also been considering the AI technology application more deeply in their state management fields. State management agencies in Vietnam should consider investing this as soon as possible. A methodical investment strategy with abundant resources from state agencies will create a ‘push’ in the development of technical infrastructure and the popularity of the AI ​​field in general and in the finance investment field in particular. To develop a useful AI application does not necessarily require too many financial resources and technical systems. A technology system at the current level of popularity along with current programming languages that open-source codes for machine learning applications and the community of programmers can help develop AI applications. Currently, the access to machine learning techniques is no longer beyond the reach of businesses and individuals in Vietnam. The biggest difficulty lies in the collection and the processing of financial data in Vietnam because the data being stored is not synchronized and the data quality (completeness) has not been optimally guaranteed. On the other hand, the above-average performance of these simple machine learning techniques speaks to the huge potential of AI application in financial investment now and in the near future.

In this development trend, in Vietnam, the application of AI technology in the fields of asset management, risk management and financial advisory services is being rather limited. In part 1 of this research paper, the authors will provide an overview of the most popular trends and AI technologies used in asset management, risk management and financial advice today. Machine Learning (ML) – The most popular AI approach until the current time While AI is a vast field with many approaches developed over time, the recent interest in AI has been almost entirely focused on machine learning (ML) techniques and has been the most popular AI approach up to the current time. Machine Learning – ML is concerned with using data to incrementally tune the parameters of statistical, probabilistic, and other computational models. Essentially, ML automates one or more stages of information processing to produce a final model for forecasting or classification. Most ML applications in property management, and even in management in general, are based on a few key techniques. The main characteristics of the popular machine learning techniques used in the financial sector are shown in Table 1. Artifical Neural Network Random forest Support Vector Machine Cluster Analysis Evolutionary algorithm LASSO algorithm Natural Language Processing Table 1: Key characteristics of popular machine learning techniques used in the financial sector. Source: Author The current status of AI technology application in the financial sector in Vietnam In Vietnam, AI technology has been widely applied in the financial industry, which manifests as more and more FinTech businesses are born. Figure 1: The number of Fintech startups by sector within 2017-2020. Source: fintechnews.sg The significant increase in Fintech businesses demonstrates the potential of applying technology to solve problems and issues in the financial sector. However, the growth of Fintech companies in the period 2015-2020 shows that the growth mainly focuses on a few areas (payments, lending) and ignores some very potential areas and important role in the financial industry (investment, asset management, risk management). In accordance with a report conducted by Fintechnews.sg on the Fintech sector in Vietnam, the payment, lending and blockchain sectors account for more than 60% of Fintech businesses. Meanwhile, the number of Fintech enterprises in the field of asset management, credit rating/rating accounts for less than 13% (Figure 2). Part of the reason may lie in the fact that the core technology required in the fields of asset management, risk management or financial investment requires complex technologies and requires a lot of human and financial cost resources to develop, rather than technologies in the areas of P2P payment or lending. Figure 2: Distribution of Fintech enterprises by sector in 2020 in Vietnam. Source: fintechnews.sg Solutions for AI technology application in the field of financial services in Vietnam today * Portfolio Management AI techniques can be used to perform fundamental analysis that requires the combination of multiple sources of information, including the use of text analytics, and to optimize attribution assets in financial portfolios. Compared to conventional portfolio optimization methods, AI techniques often provide better estimates of return and variance. These estimates can be used to optimize traditional portfolios. Furthermore, AI can be used directly for asset allocation decisions to build portfolios that meet performance goals more closely than portfolios generated using traditional methods. Methods to build portfolio include: NLP, LASSO Regression, Artificial neural network (ANN), SVM. Portfolio Optimization Method: Artificial neural network (ANN) techniques can be trained to make asset allocation decisions under complex constraints that are often not easy to integrate into returns expectation – variance. * Financial risk management AI techniques also have applications in risk management, involving both market risk and credit risk. Market risk refers to the possibility of loss due to common market influences, and credit (or counterparty) risk is the risk that a counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations. One application of AI in market risk management involves extracting information from textual or visual qualitative data sources. Or unsupervised AI methods can be used to detect anomalies in the risk model’s forecast outputs by evaluating all the forecasts generated by the model and automatically identify any anomalies. Risk managers can also use supervised AI techniques to generate benchmark forecasts for model validation. Comparing model results and forecasting standards will reveal whether the risk model is generating predictions that are significantly different from those generated by AI. AI techniques that can also predict market volatility and financial crises, especially ANNs and SVMs, are capable of capturing nonlinear relationships that give them an advantage over natural model regression with conditional variance (GARCH). ANN and SVM techniques are also widely applied in credit risk management today. * Financial consulting by automated robot technology Robot-advisors are computer programs that provide financial advice to assist individual investors in their investment activities. Advisor-robots are gaining considerable attention recently because of their success in reducing entry barriers for amateur investors. Robotic advisors can integrate all kinds of AI applications into portfolio management, trading and portfolio risk management. By embracing the success of AI in these areas, robot-advisors can not only create portfolios with better out-of-sample performance for investors but also can automatically rebalance the portfolio, automatically managing the risk of the portfolio and minimizing transaction costs. Institutional investors can also benefit from robot advisors’ ability to process a wide range of financial data. Although reducing behavioral biases when making investment decisions is beneficial for all types of investors, non-specialist investors especially benefit from robotic advice in terms of raising capital portfolio performance, increasing diversification and reducing risk.

With more than 40 attendees, the seminar discussed the latest report by the World Bank on poverty reduction as well as policies against Poverty and Inequality in Vietnam in the future. The event welcomed Prof. Su Dinh Thanh, UEH President; representatives from Department of Research Management and International Cooperation (RMIC) and the School of Economics, UEH-CELG; as well as representatives from the World Bank, including: Dr. Matthew Wai-Poi, Lead Economist for the Poverty and Equity Global Practice, and Dr. Judy Yang, Senior Economist for Poverty and Equity Global Practice; alongside nearly 40 faculty members, lecturers, staff and students from UEH and other institutions. According to the statistics and evaluation done in Vietnam between 2010 and 2020, the "Vietnam Poverty and Equity Assessment - From the Last Mile to the Next Mile" presented evidence of poverty reduction efforts in the country, providing a more comprehensive oversight while proposing agendas to help Vietnam improve its current situation. Accordingly, the poverty and equity agenda is no longer only about raising minimum living standards and tackling chronic poverty, but also about creating new and sustainable economic pathways for a more aspirational population. This is also the goal of The Next Mile, which is to help those who have escaped poverty achieve economic security and a much higher standard of living. Despite it being a decade of significant progress, the experts went on to warn that the last mile challenges remain in remote regions and other vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, the ethnic minorities and/or the elderly. The report concluded with policy recommendations within the framework from the Last Mile to the Next Mile, in which, for the Last Mile, target poverty where it still exists by using digital infrastructure and tools to reduce economic distance to remote areas as well as improve education and technology on agriculture. For the Next Mile, some policies for the way forward include ensuring equitable education quality, improving higher-education quality and access, addressing coverage gaps in SP, and investing to modernize social protection and tax administration capacity. The seminar has attracted the interest and discussion of UEH professors and students. Following the event, experts from the World Bank met with professors from the School of Economics to discuss future opportunities for collaboration, with the expectation that the relationship between the two parties will continue to flourish.

However, the implementation of digital accounting at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam is a complicated process due to the influence of diverse factors. Through the article, the authors emphasize the need to raise the awareness of SMEs, to reform the policy structure and to highlight the benefits that digital transformation bring in the direction of integration besides  suggesting some proposed solutions and suitable recommendations. Digital accounting and digital accounting application Digitization is not only a technological innovation but also includes the way that companies and enterprises manage production and business processes in their units. Accounting work at economic units focuses on activities, including activities of collecting, processing, examining, analyzing and providing economic and financial information. The arrival of Industry 4.0 is predicted to create significant impacts on the accounting field. Specifically, the electronic network (Internet) will be used as a means of communication for the exchange of accounting information, and at the same time, accounting processes will be redesigned through the use of electronic networks and digital information. Therefore, in this study, digitalization is defined as the process of digitizing and automating accounting processes based on modern technologies. The application of digital technology will bring many benefits to the unit, including a shorter cycle time compared to those of the traditional process because of frequent activities listed as credit approval, payment and money collection, transaction processing, closing, reporting and so on are reduced; the wider range of operating space; the improved service delivery time; the reduced error rate in the processing of transactions; the reduced number of employees in the accounting apparatus and the improved labor efficiency of the accounting department; the saved cost of record keeping; the improved efficiency of information security. However, the acceptance and the application of the developments generated by a series of modern IT advances are always associated with the process of change of the whole society, especially in terms of perception. Once one society, especially SMEs, is aware of the positive aspects as well as the benefits of applying digital technology, the implementation will quickly achieve success.

This is the 11th Congress of the Asian Association of Environmental and Resource Economics, being hosted by the Institute of Environmental Economics in Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) and the School of Economics, Law, and Government, UEH (CELG). The Congress is a forum for scholars to discuss in-depth on many interesting and important topics beyond carbon emission such as biodiversity, water quality, waste management, environmental and sustainable development. Among them, the topic "Reconciling Economic Success with Climate Risks in Vietnam" has been received much attention, sharing and discussion. In particular, the Congress devotes an in-depth discussion session for universities to share strategies and action programs towards carbon neutrality, building and developing a network of sustainable universities, including the leading role of UEH. The Congress “A pathway towards carbon neutrality in Asia” is organized with the participation of economists, domestic and foreign policymakers such as: Dr. Muthukamara Mani (Lead Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist of the World Bank's South Asia Region), Prof. Paul Ekins (UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources), Prof. Su Dinh Thanh (Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics), Prof. Soocheol Lee, Prof. Budy Prasetyo Resosudarmo, Prof. Ken-ichi Akao (Asian Environmental and Resource Economics Association), Prof. Orapan Nabangchang, Dr. Phumsith Mahasuweerachai, Dr. Rawadee Jarungrattanapong (Institute of Economics and Environment for the Lower Mekong Subregion), Prof. Arief Anshory Yusuf (Institute of Economics and Environment Indonesia), Prof. Awang Noor Abd Ghani (Malaysian Institute of Economics and Environment), Prof. Bui Dung The (Vietnam Institute of Economics and Environment), Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai (Editor-in-Chief of Asian Business and Economic Research Journal - JABES)… In addition, the conference attracts the participation of leaders of a number of universities and research institutes in the network of domestic and foreign universities with the same direction for sustainable development: University College London (United Kingdom), Waseda University (Japan), Australian National University (Australia)… Carbon  neutrality has become a keygoal on the world’s agenda of combatting climate and environmental issues. With the insight of carbon dioxide effects on global climate and the environment, being carbon-neutral is increasingly seen by governments as an urgent goal to achieving   sustainable development. By  COP26  in  2021, 136 countries have pledged to achieve the state of  carbon neutrality within this century.Big emitters have shared plans on becoming carbon-neutral:  the European Union, the United States, Australia and Brazil aims to achieve net-zero  emission by 2050. In Asia-Pacific, a region responsible for 80% of the world’s coal consumption and 60% of carbon dioxide emission, Japan has pledged for 2050 and China 2060, while India looks towards 2070 as the threshold.  Most  Southeast  Asian  countries  have  also  set  target to achieve  net-zero carbon emission around mid-century. As for Vietnam, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has announced a solid commitment to responding to climate change with a goal of net-zero emissions reduction by 2050. Reaching carbon neutrality requires tremendous changes in the energy sector of countries as the process involves reducing fossil fuel use, switching to low-carbon or renewable energy, increasing energy use efficiency, as  well as forest conservation, afforestation, and changing to low-carbon lifestyle and consumption. This process is particularly challenging for  Asian  countries that are fuel-based economies and have competing development goals. The organizing committee received 204 papers from scholars, researchers,  policymakers, lecturers and fellows worldwide (more than 191 authors submitted from more than 30 countries, 130 research institutes/universities/ministries). The percentage of submissions from foreign scholars accounted for 94% of the number of submissions to the conference. The articles were peer-reviewed by famous scientists in the scientific council. As a result, there were 150 papers that were evaluated with theoretical as well as practical quality, divided according to the discussion sessions of the congress. The presentations at the Conference continued to receive suggestions for improvement. After that, high-quality articles will have the opportunity to publish in prestigious journals such as Journal of Asian Business and Economic Research - UEH (JABES). The congress took place over two days ( 19 – 20 of August 2022) with many parallel and thematic sessions with in-depth topics: (1) Carbon neutrality; (2) Impact and mitigation policies of climate change; (3) Renewable energy and electricity; (4) Non-market valuation; (5) Biodiversity and ecosystem management; (6) Waste management and circular economy; (7) Low carbon building, house, and home appliances; (8) Climate change and food, forest and agriculture; (9) Climate change and community resilience: insights from South Asia; (10) Accelerating energy transitions: industry, infrastructure, institution and policy; (11) Sustainable energy in Southeast Asian countries, …Though we are from various countries, we all face almost the same big problems in the region, especially environmental degradation, climate change and Covid-19. Synergy from the research network like AAERE and EEPSEA (UEH), together with the integration of transdisciplinary approaches, could boost effective, inclusive and sustainable solutions.  The UEH university would even more support that connection. The highlight of the Congress came from two presentations by two world-renowned speakers: (1) Prof. Paul Ekins - Institute for Sustainable Resources  - University College London presented the topic “Getting to carbon neutrality” Challenges and implications for Vietnam”and outlined outlined the specific directions that UCL had been taking in its carbon-neutral roadmap with the goal of reducing campus carbon emissions by 2024 by using green energy sources, and by 2030 producing green energy at UCL and using new energy sources instead of fossil energies. The professor said that the world in general and Asia, in particular, have been facing extreme climate change; besides, there will be dangerous dangers that different countries are taking different measures to prevent.  The reduction of carbon emissions in the short term has limitations such as reduced GDP, increased investment costs for carbon emissions reduction, etc., but in the long run, it brings many new opportunities foreconomic development from the reduction of carbon emissions. Development of renewable energy technologies. To move towards the carbon neutral roadmap, it is necessary to involve the governments of countries with policies to promote sustainable development, and mitigate climate change, thereby reducing potential costs. “Radical policy interventions are required to bring about the low-carbon technological revolution.  Changing this political reality is the necessary condition for the adequate mitigation of climate change, and promoting environmental sustainability more generally, which will alone avoid the potentially enormous, but still very uncertain, costs of massive global change”, he concluded. (2) Dr. Muthukumara Mani - Lead Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist of the World Bank's South Asia Region presented the topic “Reconciling Economic Success with Climate Risks in Vietnam”. His analysis sheds light on the contrast between the narrative that Vietnam wants to achieve economic success by 2045 and the climate risks that could threaten economic success expectations. Specifically, Vietnam aspires to become a high-income economy by 2045:  The fastest growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (5.5 percent a year on average), resulting in a three-and-a-half-fold increase in per capita income. Significant structural transformation, with the agricultural sector's share in GDP falling from more than 40% in the late 1980s to less than 20% in recent years,... For Vietnam to reach high-income status, it will need to exceed its historical growth rates achieved during the 1990-2020 period. Meanwhile,  Vietnam’s 100 million people are among the most vulnerable in the world to the ravages of climate change. Climate change poses an increasingly severe threat to Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry, and fishery sectors: In the North, rising temperatures are likely to lead to heat stress and productivity losses and shorten plant growth cycles, with severe water shortages curbing annual yields. In the center, coastal areas and cities are increasingly exposed to flooding caused by typhoons and tropical storms. In the South, the vast Mekong Delta region is particularly at significant risk from sea level rise.  As such, building a recovery roadmap will not be cheap and will require additional reforms. The speaker proposed six priority policy packages to realize Vietnam's economic and environmental goals successfully.. Prof. Su Dinh Thanh - President of UEH said “With a strong restructuring process towards multi-industry and sustainability, The University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has enough capacity to promote multidisciplinary research and collaborate with partners to solve regional problems. As the host organization of the international scientific conference " A pathway towards carbon neutrality in Asia ", the congress has promoted its role as an effective launch platform, connecting scientistsand policymakers, together in in-depth discussions to find possible solutions for a sustainable future roadmap”.

Dong Nai’s agriculture can grow faster and more efficiently if the province increases the application of high technology, including 4.0 technology. In part 2 of this article, the authors make recommendations on the application of 4.0 technology in agriculture in Dong Nai Province. In accordance with the practical situation studied and analyzed in part 1 of the article, the authors offer solutions and recommendations to promote the development of 4.0 technology in agriculture in Dong Nai Province. Specifically: Recommendations towards the Provincial People’s Committee and agricultural management levels in Dong Nai Province The above recommendations of the research team are consistent with the survey results of the enterprises, cooperative units, and agricultural farms in Dong Nai Province that have been expecting the aspiration from state management levels to support them in the Industry 4.0 application (Table 6). Table 6: Evaluation of enterprises’ implementation capacity towards Industry 4.0 solutions (Unit: Enterprise) Evaluation levels Proposed solutions No intention No potential for implementation More support from the government Enough capacity for implementation Developing new strategies and business models 44 41 143 18 Investment in IT systems 35 43 148 20 Investment in self-run and production equipment 37 74 112 23 Applying 4.0 technology in sales and marketing 41 33 136 36 Labor restructuring, improving 4.0 labor quality 39 34 149 24 Applying 4.0 industry in information exchange within enterprises 32 33 140 41 Applying 4.0 industry in information exchange with customers 33 30 153 30 Developing new products/services in the direction of 4.0 Industry 37 42 149 18 Source: Survey results of agricultural enterprises in Dong Nai 2021 The survey results shown in Table 6 show that from 45% to 62% of businesses are capable of implementing 4.0 Industry solutions at their units but need more support from the local authorities or the State government at the Central and State levels in terms of the solution implementation on the 4.0 Industry 4.0 application of the unit. The issues that businesses are interested in are: building new ways of exchanging information with customers (153 enterprises); restructuring, improving labor quality, developing new products and services in terms of 4.0 Industry direction (149 enterprises), or investment in new IT systems (148 enterprises), or building new business strategic models (143 enterprises). This is a large number of businesses that need support, not to mention the number of businesses that are completely unable to do so even though they completely need to implement these so as to develop their production and business and to increase their competitiveness in the market. Recommendations towards agricultural enterprises in Dong Nai Province Dong Nai Province is a large industrial Province not only of the Southern Provinces but also in the whole country. It should be concluded that 4.0 technology development promotion in agriculture will help Dong Nai Province develop comprehensively and sustainably in addition to the improvement in local people’s lives.

Prof. Tran Mai Dong – Lecturer of the School of International Business - Marketing, along with the lecturers, researchers and students who are currently interested in Logistics and Supply Chain area. The Webinar was presented by Prof. Shams Rahman and Assoc. Prof. Vinh Thai, from Department of Supply Chain and Logistics, RMIT University, Australia, who were 2021 has been recognised among the world’s top 2% scholars. At the webinar, Professor Shams Rahman first highlighted the role of logistics in economic development. Citing a report from the World Bank Group in 2022, Professor Rahman emphasized that Vietnam is in a group of countries where the share of logistics costs in GDP is still quite high, around 25%. Therefore, the focus should be on improving logistics performance in the country to further enhance economic growth. He explained that a country’s logistics performance can be measured by the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI), an important logistics KPI which has been used to rank countries around the world. The key components of LPI include customs, infrastructure, tracking & tracing, ease of international shipment, logistics service quality, and timeliness. Among these, logistics service quality would be greatly affected by the competency of logistics professionals involved. Hence, it is important to determine the essential competencies that logistics professionals need to possess in order to successfully perform their job and contribute to logistics effectiveness and efficiency of their organization and the country. On this note, Professor Rahman also presented various competency models used by academics, professional bodies and some organisations which comprise various hard-core supply chain and logistics as well as soft skills, knowledge and attitude/abilities. It was also highlighted that these competencies would be affected to change in the near future due to various technological and socio-economic sectors. Meanwhile, Associate Professor Vinh Thai presented key findings of the recently released Logistics Skills Forecast 2021 – 2023, which was commissioned by the Logistics Industry Reference Council (LIRC) in conjunction with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and funded by the Aus4Skills program. This is the first industry-driven skills forecast with direct participation from logistics service providers (LSPs) and non-LSP firms in which logistics operations play a major role. It is expected to provide practical and systematic information on occupational skills for the logistics industry during 2021 – 2023 period. Among the key findings, it was found that the top logistics positions which are in shortage include logistics IT systems, logistics sales and transport/warehouse dispatcher. The five most important logistics knowledge and skills include foreign languages, information technology, planning of transport and equipment, understanding and application of logistics terms, and transportation management. In terms of soft skills, the report identified compliance with regulations and policies, handling high pressure at work, being proactive at work, honesty, work planning, and problem solving as essential to the success of logistics professionals. The results also showed the logistics skills and knowledge in which there are currently largest gaps between their perceived importance and current level of possession, namely, foreign languagues, information technology, reverse logistics, warehouse management, and planning of transport and equipment. The identified largest gaps relating to soft skills and capabilities are work planning; observing, thinking, analysing and decision-making; written and oral communication; problem solving; and creativity. The report also identified five trends that will have the greatest impact on demand for logistics manpower up to 2023 i.e. sustainable logistics and supply chain, e-transactions, omnichannel logistics/distribution, changes in future job profiles, and application of digital technologies. These would lead to the increase in the demand of key logistics positions e.g. logistics IT systems, logistics sales and customer service, and the decrease in warehouse operator, inventory management and transport dispatcher. Looking into the future, it was identified in the report that the following logistics knowledge and skills are of high demand priority: foreign languagues, information technology, understanding and application of logistics terms, using logistics software and transportation management. Soft skills and capabilities of high demand priority in the future include compliance with regulations and policies, honesty, being proactive at work, handling high pressure at work, problem solving, and adapting to and using new technologies. It was also found that the logistics skills and knowledge with the largest gaps between current level of possession and future demand are foreign languagues, information technology, transportation management, reverse logistics management, using logistics softwares and purchasing management, while those gaps also exist in the following soft skills and capabilities i.e. creativity; adapting to and using new technologies; learning mindset; problem solving; and observing, thinking, analysing and decision-making. Last but not least, based on the gaps between perceived importance and current level of possession, as well as between current level of possession and future demand, each of these logistics skills and knowledge, and essential soft skills and capabilities is plotted in the gap matrices upon which policies and strategies are proposed accordingly.

Dong Nai Province’s agriculture can grow faster and more efficiently if this province increases high technology application, including 4.0 technology. In part 1 of this article, the authors focus on assessing the general situation and the situation of agricultural development applying 4.0 technology in the current Dong Nai Province. The current situation of agricultural development in Dong Nai in terms of the 4.0 Revolution Instead of commenting on the application of 4.0 technology in agriculture in Dong Nai, we quote the comments from an expert in the field of agriculture related to high-tech application in Dong Nai – Dr. Nguyen Do Anh Tuan, Director of the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development: “The highlight is that Dong Nai Province has attracted farmers and businesses to invest in new technology agriculture and smart solutions with a good and an effective way to find solutions for applying modern technology but it should be cheap and suitable for local production conditions”. Specific examples are as follows: In terms of the livestock sector: In accordance with statistics, Dong Nai has approximately 246 pig farms and 170 high-tech chicken farms. Typical examples are as below: 4.0 Agriculture in terms of crop production major: Dong Nai has been implementing over 50 types of effective agricultural models with an area of ​​nearly 80,000 hectares, accounting for more than 28% of the area of ​​crops. Many production areas have applied high technology, including: water-saving technology (smart and economical irrigation) with the increased mechanization on crops up to 84%. In particular, the pepper garden of Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, the first class of farmers in Dong Nai to be certified with GlobalGAP pepper garden in Lam San Commune (Cam My District), did not hesitate to invest capital to install an economical irrigation system according to the Israeli technology project for the entire 3-hectare pepper garden of his family. This irrigation system is pre-programmed which can be controlled through using a smartphone to remotely turn on and off. 4.0 Aquaculture application in Dong Nai: Many localities in Dong Nai, typically in Nhon Trach District, comprise a large number of households investing in a high-tech shrimp farming system in accordance with the CPF combine process transferred from the Central C.P Vietnam Delegation. This technology is invested in water treatment system, automatic feeding system and the cultured-shrimp growth monitor. Limitations in 4.0 agricultural development in Dong Nai Province In order to deeply assess the application of 4.0 technology in the agricultural sector, our authors surveyed 246 enterprises. In which, the group of enterprises with limited liability (LLC) accounts for the largest number with 194 enterprises (accounting for 78.9%); second in number are enterprises with 100% foreign capital (16 enterprises, accounting for 6.5%) and the third is joint stock enterprises without state capital (15 enterprises, accounting for 6.1%); 4th place in this group is the private sector (8 enterprises, accounting for 3.%). From Table 1, 134 enterprises have knowledge regarding 4.0 Industry but not enough (accounting for 54.5%); the proportion of enterprises that are only aware of but have not studied without any information is still high (76 enterprises are only aware of but have not learned, 19 enterprises do not have information), this group is enterprises with small-scaled production and limited capital; therefore, there is no orientation to learn regarding these new technology applications. The survey results of the research team in Table 2 indicate that up to 135 businesses (accounting for nearly 55%) have not had a strategy to build and to apply 4.0  Industry yet, for which Dong Nai Provincial Authority need to research for timely support for. The Provincial People’s Committee (People’s Committee) needs to study the model of consulting groups for each separate product group so that businesses with the same product group can support or coordinate with each other to apply technology more effectively. Figure 2 presents that one positive signal is that 84 enterprises are developing a strategy to apply Industry 4.0 (accounting for 34.1%) and 23 enterprises (9.3%) are implementing a strategy to apply Industry 4.0. 4.0. From the survey results in Table 3, the investment level of enterprises for the 4.0 Industry application is being modest and focuses on most simple 4.0 technologies. The main reason is that the business scale of the majority of surveyed enterprises is small, making it difficult to access investment capital. Table 3: The current situation of agricultural enterprises in Dong Nai Province investing in 4.0 Industry application (Unit: Enterprise) Total investment towards Under 1 billion VND Between 1-10 billion Over 10 billion Total number of enterprises Investment for research and development 226 17 3 246 Investment for production and purchasing 209 29 8 246 Investment for sale and product distribution 218 24 4 246 Investment for post-sale service 224 20 2 246 Investment for promotion and price assessment 231 13 2 246 Investment for resource development 228 15 3 246 Investment for Information technology 218 24 4 246 Investment for financial-accounting management 220 21 5 246 Source: Survey results by the research group in 2021 In accordance with the survey results in Table 4, the types of 4.0 technology that agricultural enterprises in Dong Nai are applying are only at the simple or medium stage. There are three industrial 4.0 systems that are widely applied by enterprises: (1) PPS – Production Planning System with 75 enterprises; (2) MES – Manufacturing Execution System with 63 enterprises together; (3) Product Lifecycle Management System used by 63 enterprises. The remaining systems are only used by approximately 12-16 businesses. The main reason is the lack of funds and human resources to operate the system, moreover, many businesses are not aware of the need to strongly apply Industry 4.0 because they doubt the effectiveness compared to the costs.

In addition, in agricultural enterprises in Dong Nai, the number of experts and technicians who do not have the skills to operate technology 4.0 is being rather high (from 24% - 47%), especially the technical skills in automation technology (117 enterprises), application development techniques for supporting systems (114 enterprises), techniques for using working software (113 enterprises) and more. This core problem that needs to be set for the Local Government of Dong Nai Province in terms of the desire to promote and to support businesses to apply Industry 4.0 towards the agricultural production process to achieve high efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability, how must the workforce be trained? Therefore, the deployment of human resources is one of the major issues that Dong Nai Province needs to consider and to implement immediately. Although some areas of agricultural industries in the province have initially applied the technology of agriculture 4.0, in general, the application is being fragmented and spontaneous. The level of 4.0 technology application in agriculture in Dong Nai Province is not strong enough to meet the development requirements. For example, Dong Nai Province currently has 246 pig farms and 170 high-tech chicken farms. For other provinces, these are impressive numbers (246, 170); however, compared to the total of more than 2,200 currently, the number of high-tech farms in the province is being rather modest. The Project from Israel related to the feasibility on sustainable development of high-tech agriculture in Dong Nai Province to 2025, with a vision to 2030 has been performing rather slowly. The authors agree with the comments of Dr. Le Quy Kha - Deputy Director of the Southern Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology: “The high agriculture in Dong Nai Province is much more advanced than that of other Provinces. Dong Nai Province has the variety of farming models as well as raising livestock, growing hydroponic vegetables, raising clean chicken eggs, growing VietGAP pomelo. However, those models have only appeared in large enterprises and large farms, and the rest has not become a revolution for the entire population yet.” Please refer to the full research Development of Industry 4.0 Technology Application in Agriculture in Dong Nai Province here. Author group: Prof. Dr. Võ Thanh Thu – Faculty of International Business–Marketing, UEH School of Business; MSc.

The project is within the framework of the cooperation between UEH and FHNW with the aim of enhancing student understanding and exchange as well as providing opportunities for learning and new experiences. Following the success of the SEED 2019 project held in Sadec and the SEED 2021 conducted online during the Covid-19 pandemic, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland co-organized the Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development (SEED) project. With the goal of SEED 2022, which is to promote projects to help economic recovery after the pandemic for craft villages, eco-tourism areas, and local businesses in the South of Vietnam, a delegation of experts and students had a practical working trip to Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City and Trang Bang Town, Tay Ninh Province. Here, the delegation of lecturers and students can visit, observe, interview, and learn about economic development in general, especially the development of agriculture, eco-tourism, and traditional professions in this local. The students listened and asked questions to the householders, business owners, and local officials, and were answered by local leaders on issues listed as the current situation and difficulties of the industries, policies to support farmers in the district, development directions for brands or traditional industries in the future, etc. From sharing as well as answering questions, students have a more realistic view of the development of the agricultural and rural economy in the locality, helping students understand the meaning and role of determining development strategies, applying high technology to improve productivity and product quality, exploiting cultural values ​​of craft villages to develop traditional craft village tourism products and so on. The delegation of lecturers and students observed the situation of agricultural development, eco-tourism, and traditional professions in the area. To prepare for the journey, FHNW students and UEH students together learn, and come up with ideas and business models as well as the start-up environment in Vietnam under the guidance of UEH lecturers and lecturers from FHNW, University Malaysia Kelantan, De La Salle University - Philippines. In addition, FHNW lecturers and students had the opportunity to visit the city, introduce food, and have interesting experiences about Vietnamese traditional culture listed as: making “to he”, folding coconut leaves and writing calligraphy, and outdoor activities such as going through “cau khi”, catching fish, making rice paper, etc. At the end of the field trip, the groups of students presented ideas and proposed business models with suggestions and evaluations from the participants. Professors and experts from UEH, Banking University Ho Chi Minh City and University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. Student groups presenting proposed business ideas and models In more than 10 days, the SEED 2022 project officially ended; in addition to the knowledge about social entrepreneurship, the students gained many personal values ​​and emotions in their luggage. The cohesion and teamwork together allow discussing academic issues and social issues of each country to understand more about the other country. From here, each of them fosters more realistic perspectives on the global citizen model. The students receiving certificates from the project * Information related to the project: Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development (SEED) is a multicultural program that applies social entrepreneurship to the development of projects towards sustainable economic development.

The inherent flexibility of the business sector as well as the rapid development of technology and digital transformation, has made the strategic planning of recovery and adaptation of Vietnamese enterprises a key issue as one interesting and trending topic. The government also understands that businesses are the backbone of the economy: if policies and support solutions do not reach the hands of businesses, it is difficult to think about their ability to grow sustainably and meet social security goals. In this article, the authors, with a view from policy design to corporate governance, have made a number of recommendations and implementation solutions to improve adaptability and to minimize the risk of business failure in particular and the economy in general. “Unstable”, “growth”, “inflation”, “conflict” are the most mentioned phrases in recent times and of course what is caused by Covid-19 is not strange at this time. Over the past two years, the business operations have experienced unprecedented difficulties, they did not have to declare dissolution or bankruptcy are ‘admirable’ for their adaptability, financial potential, resource accumulation, and innovative thinking. Nevertheless, when global uncertainties are being taking place, exogenous shocks listed as epidemics and political conflicts can completely continue, the more it will require the response capacity as well as the change of business industry, especially in a transitional economy like Vietnam. Adaptation strategy of Vietnamese enterprises Vietnamese economy has recorded relatively impressive results in the recent years with GDP growth in the first quarter of 2022 approximately 5.03% compared to that of the same period in 2021 (Figure 1). The Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains in a safe zone with an increase of 2.1% in the first 4 months, and the weight comes mainly from gasoline prices (50% higher than that of the same period). Economic activity showed a recovery as the index of industrial production and retail sales of consumer goods and services grew at 9.4% and 12.1%, respectively, compared to that of the same period, returning to the pre-pandemic speed. Export turnover has grown rapidly in recent months, respectively in March and April 2022, 17% and 25.2%, respectively. However, the import growth trend has not changed much because of the disruption in the supply chain from China; in addition, we continue to expect positive trends to come because the demand for input materials input into the processing and manufacturing industry will increase while domestic spending demand will continue to recover. Combined with tourism and current account remittances, it is estimated to reach 1.5% of GDP in 2022 and approximately 2% in 2023. Credit growth continued to skyrocket at 16.4% in April 2022 and the balance in the state budget surplus for 4 consecutive months showed positive economic conditions and reduced budget expenditure. Finally, FDI capital was growing strongly but the level of registered capital tended to decrease in the first 3 months of the year. A promising sign is that the business environment index of Vietnam in the first quarter of 2022 has increased by 12 percentage points over the same period, equivalent to 73 percentage points, continuing to return to the time before the fourth wave outbreak. With those positive signs, the forecast regarding the Vietnamese economic growth given by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is 6.5% and 6.7% for 2022 and 2023, respectively. The World Bank (WB) record a growth forecast of 5.3% in 2022 and this will return to a stable level of 6.5% in the following years. The figure for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is 6% in 2022 and 7.2% in 2023 although IMF has downgraded its global growth forecast for this year to 3.6%. We have complete confidence in the above forecast numbers when right from the beginning of the year, specifically on January 11, 2022, a monetary and fiscal solution package of approximately 15 billion USD was used to implement the Economic Recovery and Development Program (ERDP) for the 2022-2023 period has been approved by the National Assembly. The program includes fiscal solutions listed as tax exemption and reduction, healthcare, infrastructure construction and development, social security, interest rate support for businesses and business households and so on. In addition, monetary solutions, with the goal of credit growth in 2022 as 14%, aim to provide liquidity to the market by reducing lending rates from 0.5%-1% at credit institutions. In terms of the ERDP program, the economic stimulus packages from this program are aimed at increasing public investment and stimulating domestic demand, showing how to coordinate between the central and local governments. Along with that, the labor market has been gradually recovering, continuing to strengthen production and business activities. This continues to show that Vietnamese economic resilience is completely possible. On the other hand, the post-Covid-19 growth momentum has hit a crossroads as the geopolitical instability between Russia and Ukraine has escalated. The economic sanctions against Russia have caused a sharp increase in the world oil prices. This is the cause of the increase in raw material prices as well as production and transportation costs, directly affecting product prices in the market, causing inflation (due to cost-push) as shown in Figure 2. During this period, the price of gasoline rose to an all-time high. In accordance with the data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), the average price of gasoline across the United States reached a new record on May 10 at $4.37 per gallon, surpassing the record set on March 11 is $4.33 a gallon as global refiners grapple with supply chain bottlenecks that have sent prices soaring. The price of gasoline after the adjustment session on May 11, 2022, in Vietnam, has reached the threshold of nearly 30,000 VND/liter. Facing this situation, the government has issued supportive policies on environmental protection tax to partially cool down domestic gasoline prices. Along with that, that the moves to tighten credit valves and gradually increase interest rates were made in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic is gradually being viewed as an endemic disease to avoid the overgrowth of the economy to the point of losing control, when signs of inflation are gradually appearing. As the global economy gradually adjusts to the “new normal”, business leaders tend to balance a strategy of cutting costs without hurting business operations, increasing tightening the fiscal year, Central Banks introduced policies to reduce asset purchases and the amount of money injected into the economy to stimulate growth; besides, businesses focused on changing directions on factors that help growth to prepare for the impact of the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic. Challenges and implications for adaptation strategies * From a policy perspective Although our Vietnamese economy has shown positive signs, the prospect contains risks and challenges. The first is related to the high number of Covid-19 infections that may hinder the economic recovery process in 2022. Besides, the uncertainties slow down the recovery of the global economy, the military conflicts listed as the case of Russia and Ukraine that caused the world oil price to rise, affecting the cost of input materials, thereby, putting pressure on inflation and macro management policies. The inflation in Vietnam is forecasted to increase to 3.8% this year and to be closely right at the target of 4% in 2023, meaning that the tolerance level has reached its limit. Along with that, Chinese ‘zero Covid’ policy partly caused this country to slow down their growth rate, affecting Vietnamese import and export activities. It is the problems related to bad debt is also a risk to consider, especially in the medium term when Vietnamese potential bad debt ratio is approximately 8.2%. In the end, whether the ERDP program is completely effective and supports the right audience depends on how quickly or slowly the policy is implemented, procedures and processes must be simplified and need to be synchronized between the national central government and other localities. Therefore, with a long-term vision, some policy suggestions to create for businesses in Vietnam are as follows: *From a business perspective Designing and building a common strategy for all businesses can be difficult because of differences in industry, model and management thinking. However, in order to shape the appropriate direction in the new context, the following suggestions will be feasible: In addition, businesses will rely on the development trend from time to time to develop a diversified strategy. In order to adapt to adverse circumstances, businesses need to develop a scenario to cope with adverse circumstances for businesses, in addition to focusing on micro issues like before, it is necessary to consider expanding the effects of the macro. Well controlling the increase in supply chain costs due to the impact of supply chain disruption. Being in need of the strong, synchronous and pervasive bounces between the government and businesses. In other words, the government and the businesses need to ensure the initiative, to make timely strategies and policies and to be ahead of the trend; concurrently, there must be interaction with each other, businesses must be ready and the government must also play a role of creating and monitoring.

After officially becoming partners in January 2021, UEH and HDBank have accompanied and implemented many meaningful activities for the University, the Bank, and students. With the achievements acquired in cooperation activities between the two sides over the past time, I would like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City to the Board of Directors and HDBank's staff for their support, care, and accompanying the University. Hopefully, UEH and HDBank can cooperate to implement more additional activities for the development and benefits of both sides.” Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH - delivering the opening speech Mr. Tran Van Huong - HDBank Regional Director also informed: “HDBank is a member company of Sovico Group - the leading investment group in Vietnam, operating with the goal of providing quality products and services with international quality in banking and finance, aviation, digital transformation, energy, urban areas, resorts... towards sustainable development for investment cooperation and economic development in Vietnam and the world. During its development, HDBank has always focused on fulfilling its social responsibility. Today is also an occasion for HDBank to award 20 scholarships to UEH's excellent and disadvantaged students to accompany and follow in their footsteps to go to school, be motivated to study, and become useful people for society. This is also a practical activity in the program “Community Connection -  Knowledge Spreading - Sustainable Action” that UEH and HDBank have signed. Hopefully, in the future, the two sides will have more meaningful activities, contributing to the development of the unit and the society." Mr. Tran Van Huong - Regional Director of HDBank - delivering a speech At the ceremony, representatives of HDBank awarded 20 scholarships to 20 excellent students with difficult circumstances to excel in their studies, with a value of 10 million VND for each.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong shared: “The Netherlands and Vietnam have a long and reliable relationship. The Netherlands is Europe’s second-largest trading partner and one of the major direct investors in Vietnam. For this reason, UEH University is willing to work with Dutch institutions to strengthen this partnership in relation to research, teaching, and international projects. UEH and Erasmus University Rotterdam have co-developed the Vietnam-the Netherlands Program since 1994, with the number of 50 students per year. UEH lecturers are also pursuing their PhD degrees at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I believe this program will be maintained for a long time and further developed in the coming years. Vietnam and the Netherlands will celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations in 2023. Together we will promote dynamism, innovation, and community connection, spreading knowledge and values ​​for sustainable development of both Vietnam and the Netherlands.” Mr. Ahmed Aboutaleb - Mayor of Rotterdam - remarked: “We respect the bilateral cooperation relationship between Vietnam and the Netherlands and look forward to seeing more investment projects from the two countries in HCMC and Rotterdam. As Mayor of Rotterdam and a member of the board of directors of the Resilient City Network, I do hope to share with you my ideas on leadership, sustainable  economic development and resilience.” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong and Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb exchanging souvenirs In accordance with the frame of the visit, the Mayor of Rotterdam Mr. Aboutaleb, Winner of the 2021 World Mayors Award and a Board member of the Resilient Cities Network shared his ideas on leadership, sustainable economic development and resilience to lecturers and students of Vietnam - Netherlands graduate programs, economic disciplines, public management, smart city management and creativity with the theme: Leadership, Sustainable Economic Development and Resilience. Overview of the sharing session of Mr. Ahmed Aboutaleb - Mayor of Rotterdam (Netherlands) – meeting students of UEH Graduate programs Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb presenting the theme “Leadership, Sustainable Economic Development and Resilience” with lecturers and students of UEH graduate programs. Mayor Aboutableb defined leadership in a very special way. He emphasized the natural leadership ability, which can push society towards civilization through the self-motivation of people. He told stories of leadership from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. According to him, leadership comes from crises and crisis resolution. Resilience reflects the ability of a system to respond to a crisis. Leadership for sustainable economic development in a locality must be able to build systems that are highly resilient to shocks such as climate change, epidemics, and war. Mayor Aboutableb also assumed that a smart city should be understood essentially as the smart people that shape a city. The local leadership management in the current era should focus on the concept of a resilient city rather than a smart city. Smart city development is not enough to withstand future shocks of uncertainty. A resilient city, in terms of its environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural dimensions, can help its inhabitants respond and weather shocks much better. The future belongs to resilient cities.

However, this globalized order consists of many closely intertwined links, just one broken link can cause the whole network to collapse. The events of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the past time have led to decisions and policies with uneconomic motives, disturbing the global order and potentially leading to the global anarchy. In this article, the author has analyzed the disturbances of the world order of globalization and de-marketing, from which, made recommendations for Vietnam to strengthen its position in the international arena in the face of these changes. The current globalization order Vietnam, for many years, has been assessed as a “non-market” economy, accused of implementing unfair competition measures to benefit itself, listed as dumping export items (pangasius, basa fish and so on) to currency manipulation or any policy or action that is detrimental to the accused countries, is considered a model of the “market economy”. Vietnam, despite facing many obstacles and prejudices as above, has been gradually continuing the process of international integration in all fields, including trade. The explosion and the development of information technology has brought the world closer together. Corporations take advantage of differences among countries to reduce production costs and costs. Since then, transnational supply chains have been formed and almost no country can separate itself from the network of transnational exchanges and transactions with many interwoven chains. Globalization has changed the status quo of the world, with business decisions in accordance with the market economy principles applied on a global scale. One obvious consequence of globalization is that it is hard to find what every person in every country in the world consumes every day that is sourced entirely from within the country. As long as any stage has cost-cutting measures without affecting quality, regardless of origin or geographical location, it can be applied to help reduce costs. This is also the rule of the market economy that developed countries always use as a guideline and standard in international trade, with price and quality being the key factors determining market share. Countries that aim towards their domestic products to stand firm, including Vietnam, must find solutions to improve quality while keeping prices affordable to retain domestic customers and promote their products to go abroad. This can be recognized as an order or rules of the game that everyone must follow in the era of globalization with deep integration and increasingly-tight trade relations between countries in the world. The increasingly close linkage mentioned above has been bringing many benefits to countries, businesses and people around the world. Vietnam not only exports many products to major economies but also has access to a variety of quality goods and services from abroad to meet the increasing needs and tastes of the people. On the other hand, the intertwining and interwoven links of the above-mentioned globalized economy have been existing some inadequacies. No matter how strong the network is, it only takes one broken link to cause the whole network to collapse. An event or a decision unrelated to the economy can have widespread effects, not just confined to a single country. For example, the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 in the US caused a series of flights to be suspended for security reasons and land and maritime traffic was also affected by border closures. This situation makes cross-border transportation crippled, unable to deliver goods in time, resulting in a congested supply chain. Unstable and de-marketed world The world situation in recent years is also witnessing events that disturb the above order. The Covid-19 pandemic spread globally in 2020, with a breakneck speed and taking the lives of many people around the world, prompting governments of countries to find ways to cope and push back. In order to prevent the spread of this unpredictable virus, curfew and social distancing measures have been put in place. This caused production and business activities around the world to stall because employees could not leave their homes to go to work. Passenger and cargo transport were also frozen for a while, contributing to the record drop in oil prices at the beginning of the pandemic. While many manufacturing and service industries have lost revenue or even went bankrupt due to lack of human resources, unable to operate with no customers, information technology corporations have earned unprecedented profits as people must depend on software and tools to support remote working. Vietnam itself also suffers serious consequences when a wave of Delta variants emerges in 2021, causing domestic manufacturing industries listed as textiles to suffer due to the inability to fulfill orders from abroad. Most recently, when the Covid-19 epidemic re-emerged on a large scale in China, the government of this country still applied strict control measures, disrupting production and business activities in many cities in the country. In particular, Shanghai, Chinese major trading port, is one focus of the new epidemic. The curfew policy to prevent the spread of Covid-19 at all costs has caused operations in this commercial port to be blocked, affecting the global supply chain, from Tesla to Apple. The fact that Covid-19 pandemic has caused countries to seek additional ways to revive their economies by issuing stimulus packages, increasing the money supply raises the concern related to the risk of inflation rising out of control when the economy recovers. Although the US Central Bank (FED) has reassured the public that the inflation will only be temporary, inflation in the US has continued to increase, from 5.4% (in September 2021) to 5.4% (in September 2021) up to 8.5% (in March 2022) and there is no sign of remission. In addition to the epidemic factor, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has had a significant impact on the world economy. The US and European countries launched a series of large-scale sanctions on many aspects, from economic and trade to cultural and sports to isolate Russia in the international arena. In which, it can be mentioned that the accounts of Russian organizations and individuals operating in the above countries can be frozen. This makes it impossible for Russian companies to collect and to use foreign currency profits from business activities in those countries, including income from gas exports to European countries. Even countries participating in the Russian embargo exclude Russia from SWIFT, the global payment system, as an enhanced measure to isolate Russia financially. At the same time, the above countries have been seeking to limit the use of fuel from Russia, including a complete ban on crude oil imports. In response to this situation, Russia has decided to change the currency of payment for gas to the ruble, apply to ‘unfriendly’ countries and will stop supplying gas to those countries that do not agree with the agreement suggested above. Instability due to conflict together with the punitive policies, are, in many assessments, more political than the national interests of the Western countries that have caused a chain of events that caused oil prices to rise. Although there are times when it cools down, oil prices are still at a high level (specifically, the price of Brent crude oil delivered in July 2022 is 112.39 USD/barrel). Germany, even before the hostilities broke out, was under the pressure of not putting into operation the Nord Stream II gas pipeline connecting Russia and Germany even though the pipeline could provide ample gas for Germany and even Europe. Under the pressure from fuel prices, the increase in electricity prices is inevitable, specifically, the electricity price under the 2023 futures contract in Germany reached 228.75 euros ($242.28) per MWh, the level the highest for a contract with a term until next year since December 27 of the previous year. Pressure on energy prices will have a significant impact on the lives of people in embargo countries, especially European countries, which rely heavily on cheap energy imported from Russia. For example, in Italy, the government recommends that people only keep the air conditioner temperature no less than 25-27 degrees Celsius in the summer, and the heating temperature no more than 19-21 degrees Celsius in the winter for the purpose of saving energy (Reuters, 2022). The oil price rise also leads to production and transportation costs, contributing to more serious inflation. In addition to energy, the war in Ukraine leads to a shortage of food and food, not only as Ukraine is considered the ‘breadbasket’ of Europe but also due to the import and export bans between Russia and other countries as Russia embargo countries. These bans include agricultural products, agricultural machinery and fertilizers, affecting agricultural production and leading to a shortage of input materials for food processing. Vietnam - an agricultural country - is also having to find ways to adapt to the scarcity of fertilizers. In addition, due to fear of widespread political crisis, some countries listed as Serbia and Kazakhstan, have imposed quotas on rice products. While the economies of European countries are facing difficulties as a result of being heavily affected by Covid-19, the governments of these countries are at the forefront of Russia embargo. In accordance with Bloomberg statistics, EU countries, up to this article-writing time, embargo up to 490 Russian objects (while the number of the US is only 118). Restrictions and bans on trade with Russia create shortages of energy as well as food and food, contributing to more severe inflation. In addition, measures to isolate Russia financially also cause the citizens of the countries participating in the embargo to suffer because they cannot do business with Russia. These developments and consequences occurr from the fact that the market is distorted due to embargo policies. In other words, this situation could have been avoided if politicians could have been more subtle as well as this crisis was entirely man-made, ‘distorting’ international trade, disturbing the order of globalization and demarketing the world. Will Vietnam stand firm in the new world? In the context of the world’s tendency to change, even reverse the ‘globalization’ order as above, does Vietnam have to adapt to survive? If Vietnam continues to pursue the multilateral foreign policy, the policy of making friends with all countries and increasing economic and trade cooperation with countries around the world, a world that tends to change from mono-polarity into multipolarity can actually benefit Vietnam. However, in order to persist along this line, we must have internal economic resources, thereby, strengthening Vietnamese position in the international arena besides avoiding dependence on any superpower. In order to have economic strength, we can't just focus on ‘easy money’ sectors listed as the stock market or real estate, which are currently revealing many negative problems and in essence do not create more material wealth. Vietnam needs to focus more on manufacturing industries, which can create material wealth for society. This will contribute to creating more real value, increasing internal resources and strengthening the autonomy of the national economy. A country that only relies on the ‘money-creating-money’ sectors to increase its GDP figure without the ability to produce tangible materials on its own, will fall into a severe crisis of scarcity when something goes wrong. One recent notable example is the crisis in Sri Lanka, in which the government declares itself unable to pay its $35 billion foreign debt (The Economist, 2022) and the economy relied too heavily on imports, almost unable to be self-sufficient, leading to scarcity of goods and increasing prices, instability and internal conflicts. Therefore, in the context that the world is unstable, the globalization process is slowing down and a new world order is emerging, Vietnam needs to have economic self-reliance, thereby maintaining its position in the international arena.

That is the story of Kieu Ai Vi. We happened to meet her in Hoa Son Commune, Krong Bong District, a remote district of Dak Lak Province, during the Spring Volunteer Journey of the School of Economics (under the UEH College of Economics, Law and Government). It was special when a few months later we learned that Ai Vi had been enrolled in the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and became a student of class NS002 – Course 46 majoring in Human Resource Management. Seeing you again at UEH with a 27-point admission announcement, we were surprised, how can a girl in such circumstances have such energy? We understood Ai Vi’s relentless efforts behind the bright eyes and optimistic smile of the people of the Central Highlands. Born and raised in a poor and remote area of ​​Dak Lak Province, more than 50km from the city, traffic is very disadvantageous, and essential needs listed as electricity and water are also extremely difficult. Ai Vi is the oldest sister in a family of 4, and unfortunately, both her father and mother are suffering from mental illnesses. I still remember her reddened eyes that day, when our volunteer group quietly listened to her story. Vi shared: “In my family, my father was mentally ill. After a few years of marrying him, my mother also became ill. Every month, the local authority subsidizes my family 810,000 to spend for about a month. In addition to that allowance, my parents, when they are mentally stable, they have to go to the port of loading and look after the cows for them. When I don't have enough money, my parents get sick, my family has to eat dried fish or instant noodles,...” At this time, we understand that she is a quiet, persistent leaf and strives to create a predestined relationship between herself and UEH. That predestined fate is not just a coincidence, it is determined by her own efforts. The illness of her parents and the lack of her family are the motivation for her to go through difficulties every day. In just over a year, she will certainly graduate from UEH with good academic results like what she has been doing. The support for tuition, campus, and transportation she received at UEH and its partners, hopefully, has contributed a little bit of strength to her in her upcoming journeys. Besides Ai Vi, many other difficult students are in need of support and companionship. Let’s join UEH in nurturing young talents with “Talent Development” scholarships to encourage good students to achieve more outstanding achievements and the scholarship “Bringing on Dreams” which gives opportunities for disadvantaged students to excel in their studies. In this way, UEH and the community together create opportunities and empower the right to study for any learner, no matter who they are, where they come from, or their background. All support and companion information from the community will be published at https://future.ueh.edu.vn/giving/ Thank you Ai Vi for allowing us to share her story. UEH would like to sincerely thank you for listening and sharing our story. We do wish you all good health and see you in the next issues of the story of giving!

The following article has analyzed the globalization trend in the new context and its impacts on the world monetary system, thereby, recommending a trade scenario for Vietnam. The trend of globalization in the new context Since ancient times, people have sought out remote places to settle, produce, and exchange goods thanks to improvements in technology and transportation. It was not until the 19th century that global integration developed. After centuries of European colonization and commerce, that first ‘wave’ of globalization was fueled by the advent of steamships, railroads, telegraphs, and many other breakthroughs and also through methods of increasing economic cooperation between countries. However, that trend of globalization eventually waned and collapsed during World War I, followed by postwar protectionism, the Great Depression, and World War II. After World War II in the mid-1940s, the United States led efforts to restore international trade and investment under negotiated ground rules. Western elites have come to believe that trade is conducive to peace and vice versa. Cordell Hull, Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of State, firmly believed that lowering tariffs and increasing international trade would help lay the groundwork for peace. The EU is also an economic and political project. Its roots lie in the European Coal and Steel Community, founded in 1952 with the goal of making French and German industry so interdependent that another European war could never happen. From the 1960s, Germany implemented a Look East policy by normalizing economic relations, and then Russian gas began to flow to Germany in 1973... As a result, the process of globalization has promoted certain economic growth and progress. Table 1 shows that the globalization trend has promoted the growth and economic openness of the G7 countries in the leading role of the globalization process. In fact, this globalization has been on the decline since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Trade share of the world GDP began to decline after 2007, as Chinese export-to-GDP ratio plummeted by 16 percentage points. In 2007, Chinese export-to-GDP ratio was 35.43% and has decreased to 18.5% by 2020. Global value chains have stopped expanding and are currently moving among countries.

Today, global trade is relegated to second place and promotes national goals to the top – especially public health and national security. The goal of globalization is to realize a principle of comparative advantage of a country to specialize in the production process; however, the development of globalization creates another principle to promote economic growth. economy by promoting an economy that produces what richer nations need. The result is a conflict between the policy of intervention, promoting successful economic growth and the principles of international trade (Dani Rodrik, 2017). Today, with the rise of China as a geopolitical rival and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, American strategic competition in the choice of national security over the interests of international economic cooperation. This puts global trade under two scenarios: (1) the worst and less desirable scenario of the 1930s when a country/group of countries withdrew from the production process; (2) a less dire scenario where geopolitical supremacy is maintained, i.e. trade wars, economic sanctions will become a prominent feature in global trade and finance. World monetary system Globalization has fundamentally reshaped the way advanced country economies (including the euro area and the United States). The remaining countries are major destinations for the production and design of goods and services, providing a diverse selection of imported goods for domestic producers and consumers. At the same time, the financial systems of advanced economies have been transformed through global financial flows. Meanwhile, a fundamental change in global economic growth has emerged from the increasing contribution of emerging and developing economies (Figure 1). This means that their contribution to global trade has also increased (Figure 2). Figure 1: Contributions towards the global economic growth Source: IMF World Development Indicators and Haver Analytics Figure 2: Proportion of exported goods in USD Source: IMF World Development Indicators, IMF World Economic Outlook and Haver Analytics The expansion of international trade has been accompanied by an increase in wealth expansion outside of global GDP (Figure 3), which demonstrates the interest of advanced economies in promoting global trade. demand to expand the money supply (Table 2, Figure 4). Thereby, the increase in international trade and investment has led to concentration in certain currencies. The US dollar has been playing the leading role, the Euro is second (Figure 5). It is also the main reason that the US and Western countries use this dominance to impose sanctions. The increasing degree of imposing sanctions through this monetary payment system has prompted countries around the world to set up different payment systems to circumvent these sanctions. Some countries make bilateral payments using each other’s currencies or set up some payment systems to replace the SWIFT system listed as China's CIPS system, etc. Figure 3: External wealth development in the global economic growth Source: External Wealth of Nations database (Lane and Milesi-Ferretti) and ECB staff calculations Figure 4:  M0 monetary circle of some countries Source: Trading Economics Figure 5: International monetary system Source: BIS, CLS Bank International, IMF, SWIFT and ECB calculations.

The point is whether these challenges are big enough for the US dollar-based monetary system to lose its role. The erosion of the dollar! The current world is undergoing a huge number of rapid changes from the leading role in globalization of developed economies, the rise of China, the intensity of sanctions imposed in the current monetary system and so on will the confidence of countries participating in global trade and investment decline in the current dollar-based monetary system? In accordance with Paul Krugman’s point of view, the monetary system used by countries participating in international trade needs to be approached on two aspects: size and thickness of the market (Paul Krugman, 1980). As the monetary system became weaponized prior to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China and Saudi Arabia are becoming wary of participating in the SWIFT system. Zhou Xiaochuan (former governor of the People's Bank of China) talked about the risk of China and called for increased use of the renminbi globally through the CIPS system; however, the result was that the transaction value was only 1% against SWIFT. A currency system of choice for international payments requires meeting the high funding needs in times of crisis for international financial institutions. The US Federal Reserve has launched two response programs to the stress of shortfall in payment currencies, the 2008-2009 crisis and the March 2020 Covid-19 crisis (Carol Bertaut, Bastian von Beschwitz, Stephanie Curcuru, 2021). The value of these transaction flows is huge, worth $585 billion during the 2008-2009 crisis and $450 billion during the Covid-19 period. Meanwhile, the Euro is also widely used in international payments, but is not widely used to swap with currencies other than the US dollar. Thus, the use of the dollar as a ‘means’ rather than in the role of direct payments between countries as China calls for. Figure 6: Monetary loop through Fed Banking system Source: Federal Reserve Bank of New York; European Central Bank Gita Gopinath and Jeremy Stein, described another feedback loop related to valuation (Gita Gopinath and Jeremy Stein, 2021). Since many commodities are priced in US dollars, US dollar assets have relatively predictable purchasing power; this underpins demand for these assets, making it somewhat cheaper to borrow in dollars compared to other currencies. Borrowing in cheap US dollars in turn gives businesses an incentive to limit their exposure to debt risk through pricing their products in US dollars, once again reinforcing the US dollar’s advantage. The third important issue regarding the choice of currency for international payments is to what extent the debt market for that currency has developed. When the Euro was born, it created conditions for the development of a debt market to compete with the US; nevertheless, after the debt crisis, due to concerns related to default, the yield of Euro bonds issued by European governments practice has become divergent. That is to say, there is no longer a euro bond market to compete with the US bond market (Paul Krugman, 2022). Meanwhile, if countries and international financial institutions use the renminbi in international payments, how will they govern this currency? If the way economists usually refer to the role of a currency based on its three functions, would the renminbi fulfill the role of international currency? If evaluated on the two criteria of Paul Krugman, the yuan is not eligible. Therefore, in our author’s opinion, the US dollar, even with diverse challenges to the current monetary system, is unlikely to be replaced in the coming years; on the other hand, the story of Geocurrency should be mentioned. The choice for Vietnam in economic development The first scenario in global trade will create huge economic losses in which the big countries are controlling the situation in managing conflicts, and Vietnam should think about a second scenario: in which, Vietnam should strike a balance between national interests and the requirements of globalization. That is to say, Vietnam takes advantage of the supply chain shift to attract investment, to promote the economic growth model from export activities with the approach of producing products according to the needs of developed economies. With this strategy, it is inevitable that the adverse effects from global trade activities imposed by major economies. The management of these relationships with major countries in global trade is very important in the strategy of market diversification. Therefore, the first step must be to create a balance in international trade between economies, to avoid the damage caused by unilateral sanctions.

At the global level, the experimental method has been widely used in economics, business, and management such as marketing, finance, economics, public policy, and law. This method was first recognized through the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics awarded to Vernon Smith. In 2019, the second experimental Nobel Prize in economics was awarded to Esther Duflo, Abhijit Banerjee, and Michael Kremer. The experimental method is seen as an alternative to econometric regression. Economics labs have been built and implemented at many institutions such as MIT (Poverty Action Lab), York University, University of California at San Diego, University of Arizona, and University of Melbourne, … In Vietnam, the experimental method has been applied in increasing numbers of research since the early 2010s. The subject of experimental economics has been taught in some universities. However, almost no university or research institute has established an economic laboratory, except for a small one at UEH. This method has not been applied much in other fields listed as marketing, finance, banking, business, administration, and law. In the strategy of becoming a multidisciplinary and sustainable, research-oriented university, UEH has set development goals for experimental methods at the main campus and Vinh Long Campus in the future including: In order to gradually realize the set goals, from July 18th to August 16th, 2022, UEH will implement the Experimental Method Development program at the Ho Chi Minh City campus and Vinh Long Campus with the cooperation accompanied by Professor John Hey - York University (United Kingdom) to work full-time. Prof. John Hey is a professor in economics and statistics and a leading researcher in the field of theoretical research in experimental economics with numerous publications and books.

Internship and Employment Day Ho Chi Minh City (UEH Career Fair) has helped more potential students access career opportunities Stabilizing tuition fees, accompanying learners through difficult periods Facing the uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic and escalating prices in accordance with the market mechanism, UEH is one of the few universities that is has determined to maintain the tuition fee stable to accompany learners and their families to overcome difficulties. To be more specific, the tuition fee of 20.5 million VND/year is maintained stably for 2 years (school year 2020-2021, 2021-2022). From the academic year 2022-2023, the tuition fee is regulated by Decree 81/2021/ND-CP, whereby the tuition fee is adjusted at 31.25 million VND/year; however, UEH continues to maintain a stable level of study fees for the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023 with the purpose of sharing difficulties with learners. Sharing on this issue, Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh - Rector of UEH – stated: “Keeping the tuition fee stable over the years is how the University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City accompanies and shares with learners and families to overcome difficult times to fulfill the dream of studying at their dream school. This is also one of the ways we do carry out our social responsibility, contributing to the overall development of the country.” In addition to the policy of stabilizing tuition rates, UEH implements social responsibility through tuition support for learners during 2020, 2021 with a policy of supporting 5% of tuition fees, equivalent to VND 29 billion.

The program received the participation of Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Deputy Head of CELG, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Vinh - Director of the Institute of Development Economics Research, along with the lecturers of CELG and PhD students who are currently studying programs at the university. The topic of the 2nd seminar was “THE MANGROVE-FISHERY LINKAGE IN THE MEKONG RIVER DELTA”, this was a new topic with interesting research methods conducted by Dr. Nguyen Quang - Lecturer at CELG School of Economics and Dr. Truong Dang Thuy, the content and results had received enthusiastic discussion from the attendees. Overview of the program To clarify the reasons for choosing the topic and research direction, Dr. Nguyen Quang mentioned the important role of mangroves and the relationship between mangroves and inshore fishing in Vietnam today. In fact, the area of ​​mangroves in the Mekong Delta has decreased sharply in the past few decades and the introduction to forest protection policies by the government has helped increase the forest area again in the past few years. However, a concern was that the impact of these policies is not uniform, the area of ​​mangroves is mainly restored in certain areas. In this study, the author analyzed the impact of mangroves on the coastal fisheries of local communities in the Mekong Delta. The authors’ estimation suggested that an increase in the mangrove area increases local inshore fishery production and improves the marginal productivity of inputs such as boats and labor. Detailed analysis showed that mangroves benefit both wealthy fishermen, who often invest heavily in fishing boats and sharks, and poor, labor-intensive fishermen. On the other hand, the reduction of the mangrove area in the Mekong Delta has had a great impact on the livelihoods of poor fishermen. Hence, it was suggested that in order to provide sustainable benefits to local livelihoods and reforestation policies should be uniformly implemented in order to increase the area of ​​mangroves across the changing areas instead of focusing on certain areas. Dr. Nguyen Quang presenting his research In fact, many studies on mangroves and nearshore fishing activities were conducted in other countries; however, the new point of this study was that the authors have built a fishing model at the individual level, including the integration of natural and environmental factors to assess the benefits of mangroves on the livelihoods of local communities. The presentation of the research paper by Dr. Nguyen Quang had attracted a lot of comments and suggestions from the participating lecturers and PhD students, thereby sharing a lot of experience in research design, data processing, and opening future research directions. for this field. The exchange between speakers and participating researchers In the spirit of sharing and learning experiences, the 2nd CELG Senimar seminar took place successfully, bringing useful knowledge to attendees. It is expected that the next meeting in the series of periodic scientific activities CELG Seminar will take place in July 2022. *About the speaker: Dr. Nguyen Quang earned his PhD in Life Sciences and Environmental Technology from Okayama University, Japan, and is currently a lecturer at the School of Economics, College of Economics, Law and Government (CELG).

With the current legal system and the operating model of Vietnamese scientific and technological organizations, whether this model can be successfully implemented or not is a matter that needs to be studied. In part 2 of this article, the authors outline some solutions to develop digital technology in accordance with the Spin-Off model in Vietnam. In accordance with the analysis of law enforcement practices related to the development of digital technology based on the Spin-Off Model as presented in Part 1, the authors have proposed a number of solutions to develop digital technology based on this model. Finalizing regulations on the establishment of science and technology organizations, certification of science and technology enterprises, model transformation Regarding the procedures for registration of activities at the State management agency for non-public science and technology organizations, the Law on Science and Technology 2013 should abolish this provision for organizations engaged in scientific and technological activities in domestic organizations in order to facilitate these organizations to operate more easily and in accordance with the general principle of creative freedom, freedom to research what is not prohibited by law. The current Law on Science and Technology 2013 should revise the definition of ‘Science and technology enterprise’ as follows: “Science and technology enterprise is an enterprise performing technology transfer and production activities , business, scientific and technological services to create products and goods from the results of scientific research and technological development”. With the emergence of science and technology enterprises, the Enterprise Law 2020 should, therefore, have provisions to add this type to the Law, similar to the type of social enterprises, creating a premise for develop science and technology enterprises in the future. Completing regulations regarding the concepts of property rights, technology, information technology Regarding the concept of Property Rights: it is to demonstrate its role as the foundational Code for Specialized Acts as well as to create consistency with these Acts (for example: Joint Circular No. 39/2014/TTLT -BKHCN-BTC[2], Law on Enterprises, Law on Science & Technology, Law on Technology Transfer) in the recognition of current types of intellectual property and possibly new types of assets arising in the future. In the future, the 2015 Civil Code should complete the provisions of Article 115 as follows: Current Regulations Article 115. Property rights “Property rights are rights valued in money, including property rights to objects of intellectual property rights, land use rights and other property rights”. Proposed Regulations Amendment Article 115. Property rights Property rights are rights valued in money, including, intellectual property rights, property rights over intellectual property rights, land use rights, and other property rights. In terms of the concept of Technology: The concept of technology of the current Law on Science & Technology has revealed a lot of limitations and needs to be revised, the current concept of Technology should be defined in accordance with the conceptual approach of ESCAP, specifically: “Technology, a knowledge system about technical solutions for processing materials, information and energy, covers all skills; knowledge; method; processes, equipment used in production, manufacturing, service, management and information”. Regarding the concept of Information Technology: The concept of information technology has some shortcomings and needs to be revised as in the following amendment and supplement plan: Regulations in Article 4.1, Law on Information Technology No. 10/VBHN-VPQH “Information technology is a collection of modern scientific methods, technologies and technical tools for the production, transmission, collection, processing, storage and exchange of digital information”. Proposed Regulation Amendment Information technology is a collection of technical technologies of hardware, software, computer networks and telecommunications and modern digital equipment for the production, transmission, collection, processing, storage, security and exchange of information. change digital information; or applied in business, commerce and State management activities. Completing regulations on valuation and technology transfer Regarding the provisions of Joint Circular No. 39/2014/TTLT-BKHCN-BTC: Firstly, for the provisions of Article 1, it is necessary to amend the type of auction case that is not within the scope of regulations; Secondly, for the provisions of Article 4.2, it is necessary to add specifically the subjects that are considered to be valuation support service organizations and the cases where a price is required for each subject, which helps to the parties involved in the valuation and technology transfer relationship know which organizations specifically in case that a suitable Valuation Organization cannot be found, the parties can actively contact the this organization aims to shorten the time of technology transfer due to waiting for valuation results without knowing who is the competent person; Thirdly, Joint Circular No. 39/2014/TTLT-BKHCN-BTC was issued earlier than a number of Valuation Standards issued later; therefore, it is also necessary to update new valuation methods, in order to create compatibility and consistency in the application of the Law on Prices. Regarding the concept of Technology Transfer and proposed technology transfer object, it is amended as follows: The current concept “Technology transfer is the transfer of the ownership of a technology or the transfer of the right to use a technology from the party having the right to transfer the technology to the party receiving the technology.” The proposed revised concept Technology transfer means the transfer of technology ownership or the right to use technology from the technology transfer right holder to the technology transferee; or transfer information that is considered know-how; or transfer scientific and technological results in the form of a contract. The current regulations “Article 4. Objects of technology to be transferred 1. The transferred technology is one or the following subjects: a) Technical know-how, technological know-how; b) Technological plans and processes; solutions, parameters, drawings, technical diagrams; formulas, computer software, data information; c) Solutions to rationalize production and renew technology; d) Machinery and equipment attached to one of the objects specified at Points a, b and c of this Clause. 2. Where the technological object specified in Clause 1 of this Article is protected for intellectual property rights, the transfer of intellectual property rights shall comply with the provisions of the law on intellectual property.” The proposed regulations amendment Article 4. Objects of technology to be transferred 1. The transferred technology is one or the following subjects: a) Machinery and equipment attached to one of the objects specified at Points b, c and d of this Clause. b) Technical know-how, technological know-how; c) Plan and process of production technology; Information Technology; Solutions to rationalize production, innovate technology; Solutions to improve productivity, product quality and information; d) Additional information including: technical specifications, drawings, technical diagrams; formulas, computer software to control machinery and equipment, information and data about technology; 2. If the technological object specified in Clause 1 of this Article is protected by intellectual property rights, the transfer of intellectual property rights shall comply with the provisions of the law on intellectual property. 3. The transferred technology objects must not violate the standards specified in Clause 1, Article 11 of this Law or fall into the List of banned technologies as prescribed. Completing regulations on corporate income tax calculation and a number of other regulations related to digital technology development Regarding the provisions of the Law on Corporate Income Tax (Consolidated Document No. 14/VBHN-VPQH 2020), currently, there is a need to contribute capital by technology in general and digital technology in particular through the form of joint venture in particular. Business is an actual need for businesses that are in need of technology to operate and develop; nevertheless, with the barrier of paying corporate income tax on the difference in revaluation asset value compared to the original cost or initial investment cost is also a challenge for this activity. If viewed from the perspective of the financial performance of the business, the new business model of the venture capitalized by digital technology, in addition to the contributed assets, the new model requires a certain amount of cash capital to continue to develop and to perfect the technology as well as to maintain the stable operation of the technology. If immediately after contributing capital, the party contributing capital with assets has to pay additional tax on the difference, this leads to the loss of working capital in cash whereas the efficiency of technology exploitation in the business model is still a question mark. It is thought that this provision needs to be adjusted to the time of calculating taxable income, the time when the party contributing capital by assets transfers the contributed capital or shares, in order to enjoy this policy, the joint venture company in general and companies formed under the Spin-off Model in particular, is only depreciated when calculating taxable income in accordance with the residual value of the assets contributed as capital, and the assets contributed as capital must be valued by pricing appraisal organization. Therefore, with this regulation, the State, on the one hand, has more substantive financial support for technology transfer activities in the form of capital contribution whereas the market value of the company can be managed. Technology brings capital as well as encourages businesses to be transparent about capital contribution, which is beneficial for the financial market exclusively for technology companies as well as removing barriers to technology transfer for scientific institutions as well as science-technology enterprises, contributing to the development of an innovative startup ecosystem that develops and spreads knowledge rapidly. In December 2020, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 38/2020/QD-TTg dated December 30, 2020 on “List of high-tech prioritized for investment and development and List of technology products. In the future, the Government needs to issue a Decree providing specific guidance on incentives and support for technology development activities in Appendix I related to digital technologies in the context of preferential and support policies specified in diverse different relevant legal documents. This also helps high-tech enterprises, information technology enterprises, science and technology enterprises in information technology, collectively known as digital technology enterprises, to focus on development and research applications of emerging digital technologies listed in the catalog as well as to promote the innovation startup ecosystem under the emerging Digital Spin-off Model to develop in the future.

With the current legal system and the operating model of Vietnamese scientific and technological organizations, whether this model can be successfully implemented or not is a matter that needs to be studied. In part 1 of this article, by the method of document synthesis and analysis, the author points out the limitations and inadequacies of the regulations related to the current process of digital technology formation and transfer as well as the current state of law enforcement that affects the development of digital technology under the Spin-Off model in Vietnam. Spin-off model and legal content for Digital Technology from the perspective of this model Spin-Off model is a start-up company model owned by Universities or Science and Technology Organizations (referred to as Research Institutes) as business owners from capital contribution by operating results. science and technology activities. From the perspective of the Spin-Off model, it can be seen that digital technology development in this perspective is the process, despite many different interpretations, which can be generalized as the process of creating and transferring the results of Science & Technology activities (technology transfer) to form Science & Technology enterprises and innovative start-up ecosystems. * Subjects of scientific and technological activities: In terms of operational functions, Science & Technology organizations are classified into: basic research, applied research, science and technology service implementation. Regarding rights, in accordance with the Provisions of Article 13 of the Law on Science and Technology 2013, Science & Technology organizations may cooperate, joint venture or contribute capital with money, property, value of intellectual property rights to operate scientific and technological activities and production and business activities. Regarding the form of operation, in accordance with the Provisions of Article 9 of the Law on Science and Technology 2013, a Science & Technology organization operates in one of the following forms prescribed by the Law: academies; institute; center; office and some other forms. Subjects and conditions for establishment, subjects to establish Science & Technology organizations in accordance with the regulations including domestic and foreign organizations and individuals; in addition, in accordance with the provisions of Article 20.4 of the Law on Science & Technology In 2013, individuals engaged in Science & Technology activities. For the type of Science & Technology enterprise, in accordance with the Provisions of Article 58 of the Law on Science and Technology 2013, this enterprise must be established under the Enterprise Law 2020 and satisfy the following 02 additional conditions: first, having the capacity to perform scientific and technological tasks; secondly, having revenue from the production and trading of products and goods formed from the results of scientific research and technological development at the prescribed rate. * Foundations for property right creation and establishment in terms of digital technology: In accordance with the 2015 Civil Code, people who create or have the right to own digital technology can establish civil rights mainly in one of the following forms of creation: (1) creating technology from labor activities or creative labor; (2) or creating technology from the process of production and business; (3) owning technology through a contract. In accordance with the Law on Science & Technology 2013, digital technology is the result of Science & Technology activities, in order to create a complete digital technology, this activity must go through steps, from the lowest step is to scientific research, an activity of creating solutions for practical application, until the last step is trial production, which is the step of perfecting the technology before being put into use in various fields listed as manufacturing or social life. * Ownership valuation and transfer, right transfer in terms of digital technology use: For commercial exploitation (including becoming an asset to contribute capital to an enterprise), digital technology must be valued and capable of transferring ownership and use rights. Regarding valuation, if it is a capital-contributing asset, in accordance with the Article 36 of the Enterprise Law 2020, digital technology is valued in two forms, valuation according to the consensus principle or valuation by a valuation organization. For valuation in accordance with the principle of consensus, the value of assets contributed as capital is determined by consensus of members, founding shareholders of the company. In the case of valuation by a valuation organization, the value of assets contributed as capital must be approved by more than 50% of the members and founding shareholders. On the other hand, valuation by a valuation organization is also the case in which it is mandatory for technology transfer using state capital. In addition, the valuation of ‘price of results of scientific research and technological development and intellectual property using the State budget’ is carried out in accordance with the guidance of Joint Circular No. 39/2014/TTLT- BKHCN-BTC dated December 17, 2014 of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance. Regarding the transfer of ownership and use rights for digital technology that has been protected by intellectual property rights: for software, the transfer of ownership and use rights will be done in the form of ‘Copyright assignment contract’ and ‘Copyright use right transfer contract’, the performance of the contract will be applied in accordance with the Provisions of the Civil Code 2015; for patented digital technology, it will be conducted in the form of a contract, including (1) an industrial property right assignment contract; (2)a  contract to use industrial property object; and (3) a contract for the use of a secondary industrial property object. In the case that Technology has not been protected by intellectual property rights yet, the transfer of ownership and digital technology transfer will be performed by means of a Technology Transfer Contract. * Incentives and support for digital technology development: Incentives and supporting forms for digital technology development are currently mainly based on the Investment Law and 04 Specialized Laws, comprising: Law on Science & Technology 2013; Law on Information Technology 2006; Law on High Technology 2008; Law on Technology Transfer 2017. Law enforcement practices related to digital technology development in accordance with the Spin-Off model Practical practice of protecting intellectual property rights for digital technology: The current disputes over digital technology mainly take place in the software field. However, the practice of resolving copyright disputes for computer software has been limited without much effectiveness, the time to handle the case is often long without results. This limitation mainly comes from the low efficiency of assessment activities, in which the assessment capacity of the Copyright Office (under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) is also a problem. Regarding the quality of intellectual property assessment activities, Author Nguyen Hai An (2018) pointed out that in practice, the operational capacity of the Judicial Assessment Organization has been being limited, leading to the situation of assessment activities. The judiciary on intellectual property rights is not much effective; in addition, the current independent judicial assessment organizations, most of which as public organizations show the development of this type in 02 areas. In the future, public and private sectors will have a great influence on the effectiveness of the enforcement of intellectual property rights in general and digital technology in particular. In addition, the current Vietnamese court system does not have a patent court model to resolve disputes over intellectual property rights. The current status of intellectual property rights registration for digital technology: In accordance with the information from the 2018 Information Technology White Paper, a number of large corporations listed as Viettel, VNPT, FPT, and VNG have begun to invest in research and development in terms of products using artificial intelligence and big data; among these, Viettel Group is probably the State-owned enterprise that owns the most patents in the field of information technology, including patent registration in the United States. Financial support for digital technology creation and development: In addition to funding from the National Science & Technology Fund, digital technology creation and development needs a lot of other funding sources as well as the actual effectiveness of tax incentives and credit support activities.

This is a testament to the University’s efforts to digital information and supportive activities for learners and partners. UEH Knowledge Warehouse - A place to gather ‘all’ necessary information UEH Knowledge Warehouse [https://hotro.ueh.edu.vn/] is a place to gather and store all necessary supporting information related to the learning, living, and research process of UEH students. For example, general information concerning UEH (mission, achievements, culture...); affiliated campuses; staff; information regarding all levels/systems (Regular University, Part-time, Postgraduate...); smart services at UEH; UEH Vinh Long Campus;… Here, learners can search for information from data directory trees classified by UEH training types. In particular, it is easy to look up information by entering keywords in the search field to filter and find suitable information. In addition, the Knowledge Warehouse also introduces many useful contents listed as Portals, Certificates, and Accounts to support learners. Therefore, learners at UEH will be proactive in finding necessary information quickly on the network environment (internet). With the digitization of the University’s activities, the Knowledge Warehouse has been directly connected to UEH’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. Therefore, learners can use the ‘Request management’ feature on the Knowledge Warehouse to send support requests/questions to functional units at UEH, the system will automatically put information into CRM and transfer it to functional departments to respond to learners according to the committed time, instead of having to meet face-to-face with the functional units to receive supportive information as before. Learners will receive responses from UEH via their personal email. In particular, the information in the Knowledge Warehouse is always updated regularly, accurately, and timely by UEH Units in the UEH university; consequently, this is a reliable, fast, and effective source of information for all learners in their learning process at UEH. Management, care, and support system for partners/learners - CRM Over the past time, UEH has built and officially put into operation a CRM system for managing, caring for, and supporting partners/students for functional units of the university. The launch of CRM aims to improve the quality of support and care for learners, to accompany and to ensure learners have the best experience at UEH. All channels of receiving information concerning the University (Email, Phone, Social Network, UEH Knowledge Warehouse, UEH student application, in-person at the office ...) through the reception focal point which is the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) are integrated into the CRM system. Learners and partners contacting when they need requests or questions from these information channels will automatically be received and assigned to functional units for handling. For each partner/learner’s support request, the system will open a ticket. The entire process of receiving information and processing requests will send notification emails to contacting learners and partners. The CRM system connects directly with the data of learners, prospective learners, and partners to form a common database throughout UEH. Request and support history from partners/learners from all reception channels are stored centrally to facilitate optimal request handling. * Process of receiving and processing on CRM: Step 1: Partner/Learners send requests for support/information answer Step 2: UEH receives and processes the request Step 3: UEH feedbacks processing results to partners/learners Step 4: Partner/Students feedback Step 5: Partners/Students assess the level of satisfaction With the utilities on the system, partners/learners can be completely assured because questions will always be received, handled, and responded to quickly and accurately. In addition, in order to improve service quality and listen to suggestions for activities at UEH, each ticket on the system once completed, will have a service quality survey for partners/students to contact rating and feedback system. Sharing more concerning the goal of building a CRM Integrated Knowledge Warehouse, Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH – affirmed: “With the motto of taking learners as the center, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City always wants to bring the best experience for learners. The invention of the Knowledge Warehouse integrated with the CRM system of management, care, and support for partners/learners will be a reliable, fast, and effective source of information supporting all learners and partners. This also gives learners the habit of actively seeking information, learning, and practicing integrating technology, aiming to become global citizens in the current digital era. In the upcoming time, UEH will promote the digitization of information and student support activities. This is also a testament to the educational digital transformation efforts that the University has been implementing over the years.” UEH is a university that pioneers innovation and technology application in the management and operation process in order to improve service quality, care, and support activities for learners, and ensure the needs of learners in the most optimal way. The birth of the Knowledge Warehouse, the CRM system for managing, taking care of and supporting partners/students not only improves the service quality of the University for learners but also meets the expectations of a professional and high-quality environment, contributing to the training of global UEHer generations, actively seeking information, confidently acting, spreading positive values ​​and sustainable development.

Mr. Le Duc Hoanh - Deputy Director of Vinh Long Statistical Department - sharing Ms. Pham Thi Hanh - Deputy Head of Science Management Office, Vinh Long Department of Science and Technology - contributing her ideas Mr. Tran Hoang Tuy - Director of the Center for Creativity and Community Connection Stating the closing of the seminar, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong assigned the research team to continue in-depth research to form solutions and propose policies so as to develop the mechanism of STI activities toward improving the state management of STI that meets the orientation of Vinh Long province and the Central Government in promoting science, technology and innovation activities; at the same time, attracting and effectively using all resources to invest in STI, promotes S&T development with budget and non-budgetary sources (contributions of organizations and enterprises, attraction of foreign investment in high science and technology level). In addition, he emphasized the role of research institutes and universities in developing transformation and new training programs and disciplines in science and technology; effectively developing and exploiting infrastructure serving science, technology, and innovation. Regarding investment in science and technology development in production units and manufacturers, he believed that enterprises need to invest in a science and technology development budget, to have a dedicated R&D department to create motivation for researching and building programs that develop science and technology for their enterprises. Simultaneously, Vinh Long Province needs to develop research institutes and scientific and technological organizations in the Province appropriately.

The following article has analyzed the globalization trend in the new context and its impacts on the world monetary system, thereby, recommending a trade scenario for Vietnam. The trend of globalization in the new context Since ancient times, people have sought out remote places to settle, produce, and exchange goods thanks to improvements in technology and transportation. It was not until the 19th century that global integration developed. After centuries of European colonization and commerce, that first ‘wave’ of globalization was fueled by the advent of steamships, railroads, telegraphs, and many other breakthroughs and also through methods of increasing economic cooperation between countries. However, that trend of globalization eventually waned and collapsed during World War I, followed by postwar protectionism, the Great Depression, and World War II. After World War II in the mid-1940s, the United States led efforts to restore international trade and investment under negotiated ground rules. Western elites have come to believe that trade is conducive to peace and vice versa. Cordell Hull, Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of State, firmly believed that lowering tariffs and increasing international trade would help lay the groundwork for peace. The EU is also an economic and political project. Its roots lie in the European Coal and Steel Community, founded in 1952 with the goal of making French and German industry so interdependent that another European war could never happen. From the 1960s, Germany implemented a Look East policy by normalizing economic relations, and then Russian gas began to flow to Germany in 1973... As a result, the process of globalization has promoted certain economic growth and progress. Table 1 shows that the globalization trend has promoted the growth and economic openness of the G7 countries in the leading role of the globalization process. In fact, this globalization has been on the decline since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Trade share of the world GDP began to decline after 2007, as Chinese export-to-GDP ratio plummeted by 16 percentage points. In 2007, Chinese export-to-GDP ratio was 35.43% and has decreased to 18.5% by 2020. Global value chains have stopped expanding and are currently moving among countries.

Today, global trade is relegated to second place and promotes national goals to the top – especially public health and national security. The goal of globalization is to realize a principle of comparative advantage of a country to specialize in the production process; however, the development of globalization creates another principle to promote economic growth. economy by promoting an economy that produces what richer nations need. The result is a conflict between the policy of intervention, promoting successful economic growth and the principles of international trade (Dani Rodrik, 2017). Today, with the rise of China as a geopolitical rival and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, American strategic competition in the choice of national security over the interests of international economic cooperation. This puts global trade under two scenarios: (1) the worst and less desirable scenario of the 1930s when a country/group of countries withdrew from the production process; (2) a less dire scenario where geopolitical supremacy is maintained, i.e. trade wars, economic sanctions will become a prominent feature in global trade and finance. World monetary system Globalization has fundamentally reshaped the way advanced country economies (including the euro area and the United States). The remaining countries are major destinations for the production and design of goods and services, providing a diverse selection of imported goods for domestic producers and consumers. At the same time, the financial systems of advanced economies have been transformed through global financial flows. Meanwhile, a fundamental change in global economic growth has emerged from the increasing contribution of emerging and developing economies (Figure 1). This means that their contribution to global trade has also increased (Figure 2). Figure 1: Contributions towards the global economic growth Source: IMF World Development Indicators and Haver Analytics Figure 2: Proportion of exported goods in USD Source: IMF World Development Indicators, IMF World Economic Outlook and Haver Analytics The expansion of international trade has been accompanied by an increase in wealth expansion outside of global GDP (Figure 3), which demonstrates the interest of advanced economies in promoting global trade. demand to expand the money supply (Table 2, Figure 4). Thereby, the increase in international trade and investment has led to concentration in certain currencies. The US dollar has been playing the leading role, the Euro is second (Figure 5). It is also the main reason that the US and Western countries use this dominance to impose sanctions. The increasing degree of imposing sanctions through this monetary payment system has prompted countries around the world to set up different payment systems to circumvent these sanctions. Some countries make bilateral payments using each other’s currencies or set up some payment systems to replace the SWIFT system listed as China's CIPS system, etc. Figure 3: External wealth development in the global economic growth Source: External Wealth of Nations database (Lane and Milesi-Ferretti) and ECB staff calculations Figure 4:  M0 monetary circle of some countries Source: Trading Economics Figure 5: International monetary system Source: BIS, CLS Bank International, IMF, SWIFT and ECB calculations.

The point is whether these challenges are big enough for the US dollar-based monetary system to lose its role. The erosion of the dollar! The current world is undergoing a huge number of rapid changes from the leading role in globalization of developed economies, the rise of China, the intensity of sanctions imposed in the current monetary system and so on will the confidence of countries participating in global trade and investment decline in the current dollar-based monetary system? In accordance with Paul Krugman’s point of view, the monetary system used by countries participating in international trade needs to be approached on two aspects: size and thickness of the market (Paul Krugman, 1980). As the monetary system became weaponized prior to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China and Saudi Arabia are becoming wary of participating in the SWIFT system. Zhou Xiaochuan (former governor of the People's Bank of China) talked about the risk of China and called for increased use of the renminbi globally through the CIPS system; however, the result was that the transaction value was only 1% against SWIFT. A currency system of choice for international payments requires meeting the high funding needs in times of crisis for international financial institutions. The US Federal Reserve has launched two response programs to the stress of shortfall in payment currencies, the 2008-2009 crisis and the March 2020 Covid-19 crisis (Carol Bertaut, Bastian von Beschwitz, Stephanie Curcuru, 2021). The value of these transaction flows is huge, worth $585 billion during the 2008-2009 crisis and $450 billion during the Covid-19 period. Meanwhile, the Euro is also widely used in international payments, but is not widely used to swap with currencies other than the US dollar. Thus, the use of the dollar as a ‘means’ rather than in the role of direct payments between countries as China calls for. Figure 6: Monetary loop through Fed Banking system Source: Federal Reserve Bank of New York; European Central Bank Gita Gopinath and Jeremy Stein, described another feedback loop related to valuation (Gita Gopinath and Jeremy Stein, 2021). Since many commodities are priced in US dollars, US dollar assets have relatively predictable purchasing power; this underpins demand for these assets, making it somewhat cheaper to borrow in dollars compared to other currencies. Borrowing in cheap US dollars in turn gives businesses an incentive to limit their exposure to debt risk through pricing their products in US dollars, once again reinforcing the US dollar’s advantage. The third important issue regarding the choice of currency for international payments is to what extent the debt market for that currency has developed. When the Euro was born, it created conditions for the development of a debt market to compete with the US; nevertheless, after the debt crisis, due to concerns related to default, the yield of Euro bonds issued by European governments practice has become divergent. That is to say, there is no longer a euro bond market to compete with the US bond market (Paul Krugman, 2022). Meanwhile, if countries and international financial institutions use the renminbi in international payments, how will they govern this currency? If the way economists usually refer to the role of a currency based on its three functions, would the renminbi fulfill the role of international currency? If evaluated on the two criteria of Paul Krugman, the yuan is not eligible. Therefore, in our author’s opinion, the US dollar, even with diverse challenges to the current monetary system, is unlikely to be replaced in the coming years; on the other hand, the story of Geocurrency should be mentioned. The choice for Vietnam in economic development The first scenario in global trade will create huge economic losses in which the big countries are controlling the situation in managing conflicts, and Vietnam should think about a second scenario: in which, Vietnam should strike a balance between national interests and the requirements of globalization. That is to say, Vietnam takes advantage of the supply chain shift to attract investment, to promote the economic growth model from export activities with the approach of producing products according to the needs of developed economies. With this strategy, it is inevitable that the adverse effects from global trade activities imposed by major economies. The management of these relationships with major countries in global trade is very important in the strategy of market diversification. Therefore, the first step must be to create a balance in international trade between economies, to avoid the damage caused by unilateral sanctions.

The tool has received strong responses from the high school student community thanks to its function of comparing results and suggesting majors in the list of university training prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam. The tool “Understanding you” - a career orientation companion, contributing to the sustainable development of future generations “Understanding you” is a career orientation tool with 02 personality multiple-choice test methods, assessing career capacity used and recommended by leading universities and career experts in the world including Holland and MBTI. Through the Holland interest multiple-choice test and the MBTI personality multiple-choice test, students were able to identify a group of outstanding occupations corresponding to their own trends in a short time. In particular, in addition to the function of discovering interests and self-understanding, UEH has researched and built an additional function of suggesting suitable majors based on the list of higher education majors in Vietnam of the Ministry of Education and Training as well as training programs at UEH. This has helped parents, students, and students get a comprehensive view of the majors and careers that can be pursued in the future in that field. This is the operating principle of UEH in each enrollment season, which is "to support the young generation to understand correctly and have correct career orientations with themselves, their families and society, and contribute to the sustainable development of future generations”. 12,000 students nationwide have been oriented to sustainable careers With the participation of nearly 12,000 students including 11,300 grade-12 students, spreading across provinces and cities listed as Ho Chi Minh, Dong Nai, Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, and Da Nang, this is considered one of the great motivations for the school to continue promoting community projects and accompanying Gen Z in their journey of conquering their dreams and discover themselves. Le Tien Anh - Luong Van Can High School in Ho Chi Minh City shared: "At first, I was a bit skeptical about the test results; in the end, I was quite surprised because both methods gave very specific results, even suggesting majors, therefore, I can easily choose the right major." Pham Vu Ha - Chau Thanh High School in Kien Giang - shared: "My parents and I have also learned many methods of testing professional personality; however, I find UEH's personality multiple-choice test “Understanding you” quite suitable for 12th graders like me because in addition to discovering professions, it helped me learn more about appropriate majors. My friends at Chau Thanh High School completely like it as well." Vo Minh Duong - A freshman at UEH Vinh Long Campus - shared: "Although I have been at the school for a year, I still wonder if my choice of major really fits my personality. The results I received made me feel satisfied, since then, I have been more motivated to be able to complete 4 years of study at UEH. The suggestions of new majors helped me decide to enroll in the dual program “Agricultural Business - Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Agribusiness” without hesitation." Continuing to perfect the tool and sending it to all high school students across the country In order to accompany and support future generations in their journey of self-discovery along with the school's sustainable orientation, in the near future, the “Understanding you” tool will continue to be further improved on images, sentences, update new trending industries and cooperate with stakeholders, share more widely to the community of high school students and students nationwide.

The contest is a combination of the energetic dances choreographed by a male artist - Trong Hieu, the melody from the music product "Green Citizen UEHer", and the enthusiastic participation of many UEH students. UEH Green Evolution: A new milestone on the journey towards “UEH Zero Waste Campus” Poster of the TikTok Dance & Sing Cover contest “UEH Green Evolution” With the desire to create an educational environment that helps UEH students to pursue a green lifestyle in a sustainable way, UEH is proud to be a pioneer in orienting to the first green zero-waste university in Vietnam. And, one of the efforts to lay the foundation for this important strategy is the “UEH Zero Waste Campus” Project. In 2021, the UEH Zero Waste Campus Project was officially kicked off with a lot of meaningful activities, from the Garbage Story Creation contest “The Story of Rubbish”, the Communication Series “UEH Zero Waste, Hero You”, to the music project “Green Citizen UEHer”, and so on. All of these activities were well received by the students. To start the year 2022 with a series of interesting programs under the UEH Zero Waste Campus Project, the UEH Student Association has launched a TikTok Dance & Sing Cover contest called "UEH Green Evolution". UEH Green Evolution and the marks left Since its official launch throughout UEH's media, the "UEH Green Evolution" Contest has received a lot of attention from the UEHers community, with more than 300 times of participation from students and UEH-affiliated units. All of them have created a generation of "Green UEHer Citizens", who always thinks for the environment and aims at sustainable values ​​for the community. Not only that, but the contest was also fortunate to have the companion of Miss Earth 2018 - Nguyen Phuong Khanh, who always pursues sustainable values ​​for the environment. Miss Earth 2018 - Nguyen Phuong Khanh is honored to become the Communication Ambassador of the contest "UEH Green Evotion" After 15 days of the contest with many communication activities and attractive gifts, the UEH Student Association also organized many other interesting activities on the sidelines such as the "UEH Green Day" (taking place right on the Earth Day - April 22nd, 2022) and minigames using the exclusive filter of the UEH Zero Waste Campus Project "UEH Green Selfie". Lecturers and students can enjoy the contests of “UEH Green Evolution” here. The contest closing opened the next projects The participating products showed the investment in the image as well as the enthusiasm of the students, not only helping Zeen spread the positive message of a green lifestyle but also creating an indelible mark with separate colors. The contest “UEH Green Evolution” officially closed with the selection of worthy winners in both Singing and Dancing categories. SINGING CATEGORY: DANCE CATEGORIES: In addition, the School of Tourism was also honored to be the UEH-affiliated unit with the largest number of students participating in the competition. All of them created a very successful contest, strongly conveying the message "Rethink & Be Green" to the community. The "UEH Zero Waste Campus" project will have many meaningful programs in the upcoming years. The UEH Student Association would like to sincerely thank the units and dynamic students who have always cared for and supported the project. UEH Student Association with Zeen will be back soon.

It is used in a massive number of industries and impacts almost every aspect of creativity. The availability of large amounts of training data and advances in affordable high computing power are driving AI growth. Therefore, AI is considered as a driving force for economic development both on the world and in Vietnam. Besides the benefits, AI also brings some legal and social challenges when most of the current legal principles only revolve around the subject ‘natural person’. Part 1 of this article will focus on analyzing the current issues arising between AI and intellectual property (IP) law based on international experience. The intersection between AI, copyright protection and industrial property rights Works created using AI will certainly have a huge impact on Intellectual Property law because IP protection philosophy is to uphold, to recognize creativity and intellectual property of a particular individual. Therefore, at the international level, since 2019, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has begun to discuss the effects of AI on the modern intellectual property law system, in which, each member state makes its own strategy suitable for its own practical situation. Usually, the ownership of works created from computer programs is not controversial because a computer program is understood merely as a tool to assist in the creative process, like pen, paper or drawing tool. Conditions for copyright protection are originality and creativity, with most definitions requiring the author to be a human. Currently, in the world, many works have been created from AI, with high aesthetic, artistic and commercial value. For example: (i) A 2016 computer generated art work in the Netherlands called “The Next Rembrandt”; (ii) “The AI ​​love song” song was developed by Nguyen Hoang Bao Dai - an IT engineer from Vietnam; this song has AI write the music at the speed of 10 melodies/1 second. These are very clear evidences for the statement that “machines are completely capable of thinking and making decisions on their own”. Therefore, as the use of AI to create works has become more common, the issue of copyright will be brought up for thorough and widespread consideration and discussion. With a work made by AI, who will be the subject of copyright acknowledgement? The programmer (the person who created the AI), the user of the program (the person who ‘taught’ the AI ​​how to do this), or the AI ​​itself (the subject who directly created the work)? If the author, for Microsoft Word software, only uses Word as a tool to arrange sentences to compose his work, AI, with the software “AI-composing music”, is completely capable of creating music. With the ability to create works independently, the user’s contribution to the creative process can be as simple as pressing a button for the machine to do. Of course, the user will be responsible for providing the input and filtering and processing the output of the product; nevertheless, the creative part is being largely performed by the AI ​​itself. Similar to “AI composing music”, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs – AI programs capable of reading text and composing sentences in the same style) developed by Andrej Karpathy (NCS Stanford University) have made a big surprise. As an artificial intelligence program capable of writing text, it has written a number of Wikipedia articles with the voice of the great Poet Shakespeare. Consequently, with artists and creators using AI becoming more and more popular, the distinction between biological and computer-generated works is generally blurred. This poses a challenge to the basic principles of traditional copyright, which often only protects works created by people themselves. Moreover, the way AI works is machine learning from other human knowledge; as a result, the story of copyright infringement is completely possible. Although programmers have programmed a random algorithm in AI to allow the creation of different products (AI controls the copyright), the role of the law is to anticipate possible scenarios in the future, or with the programmer’s intentional misuse of AI. This has created a challenge for law enforcement agencies in controlling and handling violations. How to determine the level of violation? What sanctions might apply to these “authors”? Is it possible to deal with the current IP system based on the current IP system, or are there separate regulations for this group of subjects? Works created using AI will certainly have a huge impact on Intellectual Property (IP) law. Source: Photo collections Besides copyright, AI also causes a number of controversies regarding other subjects of Industrial Property Rights, especially Patents. At the end of 2019, the European Patent Office (EPO) received a patent application (number EP3564144) for a food container created by an AI entity named DABUS. The patent applicant is Dr. Stephen Thaler – the creator of DABUS. Although this technical solution meets all patent protection conditions (novelty, inventiveness, industrial applicability), the European Patent Office, based on Article 58 of the European Patent Convention, Inventors must be human, refused to protect this patent. Similar to the copyright issue, the issue of AI that may infringe industrial property rights is also recommended by WIPO as a legal issue to be resolved. The laws of most countries assign legal responsibility for AI-induced infringements to identified individuals and organizations. European law stipulates that “the act of using the product is responsible for the damage that occurs”, so the subject using AI will be responsible for the infringements caused by AI. This can lead to high risks for AI users, especially in the case of AI problems. In fact, in recent times, when there are infringements of IP rights related to AI, plaintiffs often sue the software development company, not the user. However, with self-operated AIs (self-driving cars, Sofia, …), the developers themselves are also unpredictable so the responsibility for them is rather vague. Therefore, the application of traditional legal principles to address patent infringement is a real challenge for legislators. International experience concerning the protection of works created from AI AI is the development trend of the future; consequently, the legal issues surrounding AI are always new and controversial topics, especially copyright stories. Currently, the world has not yet agreed on the common views regarding the protection of products from AI. In general, 2 ways for the modern intellectual property legal system to participate in handling are as follows: (i) No acknowledge the AI’s copyright (ownership) when creating these works; (ii) Acknowledgment that copyright (ownership) belongs to the person who created the AI ​​(computer program). With the viewpoint that copyright law is to be used for the purpose of protecting the fruits of human intellectual labor as well as the creative values ​​created by people, the US Copyright Office has stated that “they will only allow copyright registration for works that are the result of human activity”. The United States Copyright Office rejects all copyright/ownership applications when they are determined that the works are not man-made. By taking this approach, any work created from AI will not be recognized by the US law on international law, which means that the works will be used in a ‘public’ way. Similarly, in Australia, there have been at least three cases where the Federal Court has held the position that works created from computer programs are not considered eligible for copyright protection. In Europe, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has also stated that “copyright applies only to original and creative work, which must reflect the author’s own intellectual creativity”. Meanwhile, in some countries listed as India, Hong Kong, UK, New Zealand or Ireland, the IP system grants copyright to programmers. In the UK, the concept of AI-generated works was mentioned very early, this was recognized in the Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988 (CDPA). Specifically, Article 9 (3) of the CDPA 1988 states: “In the case of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work that is computer generated, the author shall be the arranger necessary for the creation of the work-made products”, this approach is geared towards attributing copyright to the people who made these computer programs (namely programmers). In addition, a computer-generated work is defined as “a work created by a computer in the absence of a human author” (Article 178 of the CDPA 1988). The clarification of the above concept creates a premise for the settlement of copyright protection claims for works created by AI. It can be seen that this approach to copyright of the United Kingdom is a rather broad one, having made an exception to recognize copyright for works created by a type of ‘author’ other than the human beings. However, the very recognition of copyright for these works has also caused experts in the field to raise many skeptical questions. With the view that the World Trade Organization is a tool to protect the creative value of people, whether the creative value of human intellectual labor is the recognition of the World Trade Organization for the products created by this machine is fair to other authors or not while they are using their own minds to create real works.

Although appearing in many different efforts, Connection has the same purpose, that is, to share resources towards creating values ​​for the community. On this meaningful journey, UEH has been creating our own connection story. It is the story of “CONNECTING” multi-disciplinary, multi-field and all stakeholders together towards “UNION” with the belief that “knowledge will be a meaningful and sustainable starting point for our Vietnamese future generations”. Giving to UEH is our way of extending the links of nearly 1,000 UEHer teachers, more than 30,000 learners, more than 240,000 alumni, and more than 500 organizations and businesses collaborating every year. The program is a periodic, multi-colored bridge with: The monthly email series The story of Giving; Fundraising and saving project every day UEH Giving Tree; and UEH Giving Day annual networking event for organizations, businesses and communities. After nearly one-month launching, the Program has received 15 billion VND in contributions from 50 business partners, 30 alumni and more than 200 teachers, officials and learners at UEH. With the criterion “Small actions today - Big beliefs for the future”, UEH Giving 2022 will continue to develop with meaningful missions as follows: It goes without saying that to give has been happier compared to receive.

The program aims to promote local solutions by supporting innovators and startups towards a "zero-waste city". As one of the winners of WasteAid’s Zero Waste Cities contest, UEH has recently attended the seminar "Realizing the goal of circular economy development in Vietnam" organized by WasteAid with experts at campus B of the University. As an excellent unit, winning the Champion of the international competition “Challenge of a zero-waste city”, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) shared with the community the “UEH Zero Waste Campus” project - a pioneering project in green and sustainable lifestyle at universities. Dr. Trinh Tu Anh - Director of the Institute for Smart Cities and Management of UEH – stated: "Universities have a plan to inspire and empower students so that they can actively implement their own solutions and ‘master the program’. The UEH Zero Waste Campus project has been implemented with the aim of educating students' awareness, with the ultimate goal of ‘zero-waste’ through communication campaigns and raising awareness among staff and students of the school. UEH also plans to build a “UEH Zero Waste Station” - a Zero Waste Station for the collection of recyclable materials on campus and a “living lab” which will also provide an opportunity for students to explore materials commonly found in waste.” The program also introduced to the community the second winner of the “Zero-waste City Challenge” Contest - Veca, a startup in Ho Chi Minh City with the plan to ‘digitize the scrap industry’. According to WasteAid, the foundation has awarded Veca funding to expand the service to 12 districts in HCMC and increase recycling collection to 40 tons. Therefore, the startup was able to expand its services including the collection of Tetrapak packaging. The project has proven that, through the use of its application, waste collectors can significantly increase their income. At the same time, within the framework of the program, there was a seminar chaired by Zoë Lenkiewicz - Senior Technical Advisor and Head of Department of Communications at WasteAid. The workshop received many comments from this industry’s experts discussing how to promote the circular economy in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and society in general. At the program, experts emphasized that the Government can support and encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to work for the circular economy through the promulgation of relevant laws and fiscal measures. Besides, the workshop also mentioned the importance of stakeholders in the value chain of connecting and working together. For example, designing packaging to make recycling easier and more cost-effective. The event attracted a variety of stakeholders listed as USAID-IPSC, Bitis, IKEA, Coca Cola, ProVietnam, Pizza 4P's, and the program’s sponsor Huhtamaki. Ms. Trang Ha - Human Resources Director of Huhtamaki Vietnam - confirmed: "We had an opportunity to meet a lot of people, especially young entrepreneurs, who have new and creative ideas to support the circular economy and reduce plastic waste in Vietnam. Thank you so much WasteAid for bringing us together." Advisor Zoë Lenkiewicz added: “Building a circular economy in Ho Chi Minh will conserve resources and protect the natural environment on which we all depend. The ingenuity of entrepreneurs and innovators in the circular economy in Ho Chi Minh City is certainly worth honoring! They are leading an important change and creating valuable job opportunities in this process.” News, photos: UEH Department of Marketing and Communication Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology Real estate plays an important role in human needs as well as the development of an economy. It is an interdisciplinary field that coordinates planning, economics, finance, management, law, natural resources, and the environment, involving various stakeholders from central to local and family levels. Rated as "the country with the fastest growing and most vibrant real estate industry in Southeast Asia" (according to Asia Property HQ), in recent years, many universities have also formed and developed the intensive training program in this field to meet the needs of the labor market, aiming to build an increasingly professional and sustainable urban and real estate development and management team. Facing that trend, on June 10, UEH College of Economics, Law, and Government organized a workshop "Diversity and interdisciplinarity in education and the real estate industry" with the participation of representatives of universities, businesses as well as real estate clubs. Overview of the workshop According to forecasts by Vietnam Finance and the National Center for Employment Services, the real estate industry in Vietnam can reach a value of 1,250 trillion VND with 7.3 million jobs in 2025. However, the number and actual response quality are being rather low. Delivering the opening speech at the workshop "Diversity and interdisciplinarity in education and the real estate industry", Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH stated: “The number of graduates with in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of real estate is still quite small compared to the actual demand. Compared to other fields, the real estate training program of universities is quite young and has only been developed in recent times. At UEH, the real estate training program has been built since 2010, continuously updated, and developed based on references from universities with strengths in this field in the world listed as NUS (Singapore), Regensburg (Germany), or Maryland (USA). Up to now, each year approximately 100 full-time students enroll. Being similar to other universities in the South, some are being rather low compared to the forecasted demand. Therefore, to meet the demand for a high-quality workforce in this field, sharing and discussion among program managers, trainers, and practitioners in the real estate industry and related industries is important. The workshop "Diversity and interdisciplinary in education and the real estate industry" with the participation of representatives of universities, businesses, as well as real estate clubs, will be a prerequisite step towards healthy and sustainable development and cooperation in training Bachelor's degrees in real estate and real estate business.” Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH - delivering the opening speech of the workshop Dr. Nguyen Luu Bao Doan - Director of this Training Program and Head of Department of Real Estate - shared a diverse picture of real estate training at universities in the South, specifically in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, a number of training schools in this field can be listed as Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry (HCMUAF), University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), University of Finance - Marketing (UFM), Ho Chi Minh City University of Management and Technology (UMT), Van Lang University (VLU), University of Economics and Finance (UEF), Hoa Sen University (HSU). Training in the same field, however, the amount of knowledge and skills of each school is different. Some schools focus on tools whereas others on law or management. Some training programs concentrate on the early stages of real estate development like planning and pre-feasibility studies while others pay more attention on the financial investment and real estate development process, as well as training programs geared toward business, management, and operations processes. Therefore, it shows the positioning of each training program as well as the orientation of different training organizations according to each school. Dr. Nguyen Luu Bao Doan - Program Director, Head of UEH Real Estate Program - presenting on “Diversity in real estate programs in HCMC” According to Dr. Nguyen Luu Bao Doan, the development of the real estate industry and education in Vietnam will follow the general rhythm of the world. The diversity in program placement allows learners to choose for themselves a program that suits their individual orientation. Employers need to be mindful of diversity as the labor market becomes more competitive. Cooperation between enterprises and training programs helps the program strengthen its positioning, overcome limitations, and assist enterprises in selecting workers early. Agreeing with the above comments, Dr. Tran Nam Quoc - Dean of the School of Business, University of Management and Technology (UMT) shared more regarding the training program at UMT as well as the survey results to assess the needs of stakeholders related to the program of Real Estate. Accordingly, many businesses set higher and higher requirements and criteria in recruitment to match the general development trend of the real estate market. In addition to the traditional knowledge related to planning, economics, management, and finance, skills in technology (PropTech) play an indispensable role in the upcoming training trend. Currently, according to the survey results on the quality of human resources to meet business requirements, only about 33% of the workforce meet at a high level, 50% at a medium level, and 17% at a low level. Therefore, the need to standardize and improve the workforce in this field is absolutely necessary. Dr. Tran Nam Quoc sharing “Training skills in real estate programs” at the University of Management and Technology Ho Chi Minh City (UMT) Discussing the need to improve technical skills in the field of real estate, Mr. Trinh Hoai Duc - General Director of RealPlus Company - gave a presentation analyzing the benefits of technology and reasons why the young people should invest in this area of ​​knowledge. Based on customer experience, from the process of recognition, search, research, decision-making, and after-sales, according to Mr. Duc, technology is increasingly developing and creeping into most of these process steps, such as the fact that today more and more people are looking for project information, looking up planning, comparing and valuing properties, tracking the buying and selling process, paying as well as taking care of customers through online or mobile applications. This is an inevitable trend that we cannot avoid. In addition, the difference between a longtime employee and a fresh graduate is the process of accumulating experience and customer relationships. However, with the development of technology, especially for young people, Proptech will help shorten the distance and thereby bring better efficiency at work. Mr. Trinh Hoai Duc - General Director of RealPlus Company - analyzing the multi-dimensional application of technology in real estate In another view of the Head of the Real Estate Club Ho Chi Minh City, Chairman Nguyen Quoc Bao informed: “Currently, there are many brokers in this market, but the percentage of trained brokers is being limited. They lack rather a lot of knowledge concerning law and planning, economic thinking and sustainable development, and marketing and customer care skills. The survey shows that the need to improve the professional quality of this workforce is huge. In the upcoming plan, the club hopes that UEH will help standardize the team for its member businesses.” Mr. Nguyen Quoc Bao - Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Club – sharing the need to standardize and improve the qualifications of member businesses At the end of the seminar, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, Dr. Nguyen Luu Bao Doan thanked the participants for sharing their valuable ideas to make the connection between universities and businesses better. The workshop also showed the strengths of each training program, the interdisciplinarity as well as the different needs among enterprises in this field. To create healthy and sustainable development and cooperation in Real Estate training, the formation of a network connecting universities and related parties is a proposal deserving attention in the upcoming time. Delegates taking a memorable photo The Real Estate Program at UEH has strengths in economic thinking, market understanding, and the role of market participants. The program places an emphasis on a comprehensive introduction to the real estate development and investment industry so that students can gain an overview of this industry, giving them flexibility in their priority selections and strength preparation. The Real Estate Program at UEH also helps students see the big picture of the relationship between urban development - sustainable development, and being socially responsible during their studies for their advantageous career growth in the future. This is a highly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary program with flexible options, focusing on professionalism and practicality.

Circular 16 is also referred to as “three red lines”, implicitly compared with the recent policies that China's financial and banking supervision authorities have put in place to control the huge debt of tycoons in terms of the real estate sector in this country. In that context, the author has studied the characteristics and institutions of the Chinese real estate bond market to propose policy implications for the direction, supervision and development of Vietnamese real estate bond market safely and sustainably. Part 2 of the article will present policy implications for Vietnam. Real estate bond development progress in Vietnam Looking back at the process of forming and developing the corporate bond/real estate bond market in Vietnam since the ‘doi moi’ policy, many similarities compared to those at China can be identified. If in the early period, the transition period of the ‘doi moi’ policy, the traditional relationships between state-owned enterprises and state-owned commercial banks (the Big 4 group) used to be acknowledged; later on, more information related to monetary relations between private equity banks and “backyard” companies through cross-ownership, cross-lending and especially ‘Connected lending’ is quite popular in China. In addition to state-owned enterprises in general, does Vietnam have models like LGFV? So far, there has been no official research published on this topic. However, from understanding the Chinese LGFV model, looking back at Vietnam reminds us of quite familiar names listed as: Tan Thuan (IPC), Tin Nghia Corp., Becamex IDC and more.

Compared with the that of the listed enterprises, EBITDA of unlisted enterprises increased very quickly, from 5.40% in 2019 to 8.10% in 2020. Particularly, bond outstanding on total debt of Listed real estate companies also follow the same trend, up to 46% in the first 9 months of 2021. The intensity of bond lending by both listed and unlisted real estate companies is generally rather high. Table 4 –Risk analysis indicators of enterprises.

More details are as follows: While the role of local government through Chinese LGFVs plays a dominant role in Chinese real estate bond market, whether Vietnam has enterprises bearing the ‘LGFV’ color remains to be seen is an open research issue. However, the formula ‘local government + business’ has similar colors. In fact, the decentralization of authority to local governments for planning and assigning land to real estate businesses without bidding in recent years has more or less distorted the competitiveness of the market. Vietnamese real estate market, therefore, the real estate bond market. Other consequences should be mentionedx. Besides, the study of Chinese experience shows that the application of the minimum rating threshold for bond investment, along with the competition among domestic credit rating agencies through the application of non-uniform rating standards, can distort and reduce the competitiveness and transparency of the bond market. Despite the fact that China has announced many insolvency bond cases, in Vietnam, since 2008 with the first bond issuance deals listed as Vincom, Sacomreal and so on, the market has not officially recorded a single bond default issue. Does this have anything to do with non-bankrupt? With banks holding a lot of corporate bonds, real estate bonds? If so, which could come first? The fact that real estate businesses own banks so that bank capital will be circulated into complex subsidiary-subsidiary systems seems to happen every day even though we have regulations on gender loan term. How to control the issue of shadow banking ‘in the Vietnamese style’, through the supervisory information system of the relevant agencies, is a ‘thorny’ issue that the world research has been around for a long time. The article is about bonds, on the other hand, implication, finally, goes back to the banking sector because we think that: only if commercial bankers, including business owners, consider banking a profession in the right way. Its meaning, that is, do not turn the bank - where we invest, participate in shareholder capital, and become a place to lend ourselves in different forms, afterwards, we will hope for a bright and prosperous future with sustainability of the Vietnamese banking system.

Facing these uncertainties, in order to find development policies for Vietnam, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) coordinated with the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Group and Saigon Giai Phong Investment and Finance Newspaper organized the seminar “Reshaping the global financial system and Vietnamese strategy – 2nd time” on the morning of June 10, 2021 at Campus B (279 Nguyen Tri Phuong, Ward 5, District 10, HCMC). Although the Covid-19 pandemic has been controlled in some way, its consequences along with new risks are hindering the recovery of global economic activities. Covid-19 has pushed total global debt to its highest level in half a century, increasing poverty, income inequality, access to education and healthcare and unemployment. Globally and in major economies, inflation has been at its highest level since the global financial crisis. In emerging markets and developing economies, inflation has reached its highest level since 2011. The rise in inflation forced governments to implement tightening monetary measures before the economy completely recovered after the pandemic. However, tight monetary policy to curb inflation caused another bigger worry - an economic recession. Global economic growth forecast for the next two years is becoming less optimistic. While the global economy has not yet recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, accompanied by sanctions imposed from the parties that have been exacerbating the supply chain disruption. The fact that the capital supply is being weak pushes up the prices of diverse strategic goods, typically oil and energy prices, and possibly food prices as well as further catalyzes the inflationary pressure with the negative impacts on business activity, investment and consumption on a global scale. The global geopolitical landscape is undergoing many changes, reshaping the position of regions. Asia is increasingly emerging as a key player in shaping the global financial network, as financial centers in developed countries listed as the United States and Britain seem to be losing ground after the crisis global financial markets 2008, Brexit, and the imposition of sanctions on investment assets and payment systems since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, in the context that the digital financial world is an irresistible trend, the challenges for Asian emerging countries to get a position on the international financial map are not small. Accompanying is the increasingly fierce strategic competition between major countries to compete for the leading position. Could the U.S. position and the international monetary role of the dollar be impaired? Can it the ability to rise to become the leader of the global economy and make the renminbi an international currency? More diverse problems are posing for policymakers in the face of global changes. As a result, the global economy is continuing to face diverse uncertain factors. What strategies do countries, especially developing countries like Vietnam, need to have to adapt and improve their competitive advantage in the face of a series of uncertainties mentioned above, which is a big issue for policymakers, academics and businesses. In terms of this background, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. In Ho Chi Minh City, the Economic Advisory Group of the Prime Minister and the Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper - Financial Investment cooperated to organize the workshop “Reshaping the global financial system and Vietnam's strategy - The 2nd” with the participation of members of the National Financial and Monetary Policy Advisory Council.

At the same time, the global geopolitical landscape is changing, the strategic competition between major countries is becoming increasingly fierce, the reshaping of the position of regions, in which the role of Asia is increasingly emerging as a key player in reshaping the global financial system. In the context of the industrial revolution 4.0, the world of digital finance is an inevitable trend of the times. The development of technology in the financial sector (Fintech) has virtually reshaped many new financial services, leading to new business networks in Asian countries. However, the challenges for emerging countries in Asia to get a position on the international financial map are not limited.

A dynamic research environment is a strong background and launching pad for academic and applied researchers. UEH College of Economics, Law and Government (CELG) always focuses on building a diverse research ecosystem. Therefore, the launch of the CELG Seminar (CELGS) aims to develop scientific research capacity, contribute to creating academic values, increase the quantity and quality of academic research, diversify research topics within the internal school; at the same time, creating a communication environment and expand relationships with domestic and international researchers. CELG Seminar has periodically held meetings 2 times/ month with the participation of popular researchers who are academically reputable to join hands to contribute to the development of a sustainable academic community. The first scientific meeting of CELGS recorded the participation of Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Deputy Head of CELG, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Tat Thang - Director of Health and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, CELG Lecturers, and the UEH School’s internal and external researchers. Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh - Lecturer of UEH School of Banking and Dr. Nguyen Duc Nguyen - Lecturer of Da Lat University brought to lecturers and researchers attending CELGS a potentially exploitable new research topic: “Uncertainty and Corporate Default Risk: Novel Evidence From Emerging Markets”. This research mentioned a new approaching methodology by measuring and searching channels affecting the uncertainty of a nation and the default risk of corporates in newly popular markets in the 1991-2019 period. The research result revealed that the uncertainty positively correlates to default risk and this impact tends to be greater for the most careful and ready-to-accept-risk corporates. This research also discovered that this uncertainty also correlates positively to the risk-taking behaviours of corporates and the cost of debt and negatively to cash holdings and financial performance. Additionally, the research pointed out that uncertainty has little effect on default risk on large corporates and those listed on developed stock markets. The research topic of Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh and Dr. Nguyen Duc Nguyen attracted the concern of delegates and participating guests. Discussion activities raised issues required to be conducted and solved in the future. Dr. Nguyen Phuc Canh was presenting his research Dr. Nguyen Duc Nguyen presenting and discussing online on the platform of Webex Dr. Pham Khanh Nam hosting CELG Seminar CELG Seminar with the first theme “Uncertainty and Corporate Default Risk: Novel Evidence from Emerging Markets” took place successfully and brought new aspects as well as intensive and useful research knowledge for the delegates and participating guests.

A synchronous national database system of real estate information along with the effective exploitation by technology applications is extremely necessary for policy making as well as in research and business. In part 2 of this article, the authors would like to present the process to build this system in Vietnam and how to exploit data sources for different purposes. Agency implementing national database on real estate prices in Vietnam Real estate price data consists of two main components, ‘price’ and ‘real estate’. In which, the ‘price’ element is understood as the ‘professional’ element while the ‘real estate’ element is the ‘subject’ element. In Vietnam, the ‘price’ operation is directly managed by the Ministry of Finance through the Price Management Department; the ‘land’ subject is directly managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment; the ‘construction attached to land’ (or ‘house’) subject is directly managed by the Ministry of Construction. In addition, the construction of infrastructure for the database needs the support of the Ministry of Information and Communications. Therefore, the authors propose that the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Information and Communications are state management agencies that will participate in the development of a national database regarding the real estate prices. Main responsible agency Currently, the Ministry of Construction has been assigned by the Government in terms of the task of building, managing and using an information system on housing and the real estate market (according to Decree No. 117/2015/ND-CP). Although this information system includes real estate prices, the source of the price database is being limited. In this system, one of the important sources of information related to real estate prices comes from investors (real estate developers) for real estate listed as apartments, commercial apartments. This is also considered a data source to integrate with the national database of real estate prices mentioned below. Afterwards, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment actively implemented the land database (according to Circular No. 75/2015/TT-BTNMT). Similar to that of the housing and real estate market information system, the source of the price database has been a matter of concern. In this basis, one of the important sources of information on real estate prices will come from organizations with land valuation functions upon complying with Circular No. 36/2014/TT-BTNMT detailing land valuation methods; building and adjusting land price list; specific land valuation and land price determination consultancy and Circular No. 33/2017/TT-BTNMT amending a number of articles of Circular No. 36/2014/TT-BTNMT. This is also considered a second data source to integrate with the national database on real estate prices mentioned below (however, the information provided from this facility is mostly for the fulfillment of the State’s financial obligations towards land). In 2021, the Government issued Decree No. 12/2021/ND-CP (amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 89/2013/ND-CP), in which, Article 12b is supplemented with the content which is to assign the Ministry of Finance to be responsible for building, managing and operating the national database on prices (in general). As a result, although each Ministry is directly in charge of a database/information system, these units focus on subject specifications rather than price data. Particularly, the Ministry of Finance is the unit assigned to build the price database in general. Therefore, the authors propose the Ministry of Finance to be the agency responsible for building a national database on real estate prices; The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to play the role of connecting the database of the subject’s specifications to the national database of real estate prices. The Ministry of Information and Communications is responsible for developing technical regulations for the national database system on prices. The agency responsible for building the infrastructure for price data storage The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, with its roles and strengths of expertise available, should be tasked with building the infrastructure for storing price data. Some of the input properties of the database contain information other than the price and characteristics of the property listed as behavior, tastes, income and gender of the property owner. Therefore, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment needs to: (i) develop a real estate coding system as well as (ii) divide different access rights for different objects to the same property. Examples of access permissions and levels of access are as follows: (i) only the average price of the route can be accessed, (ii) the price of each asset can be accessed but not the address and attributes of the asset route; (iii) access to the asset's price and attributes but does not display the asset's address; (iv) access to the property’s price, properties and address but does not display information relating to the property owner; and (v) access to all information. This will ensure the safety and security of the data so that the data is not misused. AI application for the quality assurance of the data source Regulatory agencies can apply AI to detect input data with excessive (high/low) price spikes compared to the general level of the same road segment on the same route. This will make it easier for the regulator to notice/mark/recognize properties with a particular price or to know the special features that make the price difference of that asset compared to the general market level. Proposing the process of building a national database on real estate prices in Vietnam Land database The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is responsible for building a land database including spatial land data, land attribute data and other data related to the land parcel. Database in terms of housing and real estate market On the basis of the land database, the Ministry of Construction will update the database on housing and real estate market, including legal documents systems; housing and real estate development planning programs besides other relevant detailed data. National database regarding real estate prices Consequently, all data on properties of real estate will become available, and there will be coordination among relevant Ministries/Departments/Units (see Figure 5 for details). On this platform, the Ministry of Finance will update price data through two channels: During this management time, the system needs to separate the updated price data from the Department of Price Management and the General Department of Taxation because there will be a difference because of the low declaration value to reduce the tax payable. In the long term, the updated data from the Price Management Department is a channel for the General Department of Taxation to compare and to adjust the tax declaration behavior of individuals dealing in real estate. Only then, will the updated data from these two channels approach and reflect the market price. Therefore, the national database on real estate prices has four independent data systems as follows: (i) the land database of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment; (ii) the housing and real estate market database of the Ministry of Construction; (iii) Market price database of the Price Management Department - Ministry of Finance; and (iv) the declared price database of the General Department of Taxation – Ministry of Finance. Therefore, in order for these four systems to be able to connect with each other, from the very beginning, the Ministry of Information and Communications needs to coordinate with the above units to develop technical regulations, in which the focus is on establishing codes identifier for each parcel of land – the minimum identifier for updating price data. In parallel, in the update process, AI needs to be applied to filter data in order to avoid duplication and noisy information. Exploiting the national database on real estate prices in Vietnam In accordance with the built database, the State management agency can exploit in the following directions: Please refer to the full article “Big Data & AI Application in Construction and Exploiting National Database of Real Estate Prices in Vietnam – Part 2: Solutions” here.

Next, Dr. Trinh Minh Tam - Deputy Director of the Institute of Scientific Evaluation and Technology Valuation, Ministry of Science and Technology - presented a presentation with “Applying the law on technology valuation, intellectual property from the perspective of practical activities” theme. To better illustrate how to apply this, MSc. Nguyen Quang Huy - Vision & Associates Co., Ltd. - provided a real-life case of “Intellectual Property Valuation” from the WTM Made in Vietnam patent case and its impact on the invention commercialization. Last but not least, MSc. Tran Manh Hung - Managing Partner, BMVN International Law Firm (Member of Baker & McKenzie International Law Firm) - shared his international experience related to legal adjustment for patent valuation.

Tran Manh Hung - Managing Partner, BMVN International Law Firm (Member of Baker & McKenzie International Law Firm) - sharing international experience on legal regulation of patent valuation What is more, “Commercialization of inventions” content is shared by the speakers. The speakers asserted that if the valuation/appraisal of patents is completely tied to neither practice nor commercialization, it will be difficult to survive and maintain in the profession. In addition, the speakers emphasized the establishment of ownership rights for intellectual property in order to avoid unnecessary loss of profits for inventors and to encourage them to have more active investment activities concerning research and invention of new inventions in the future. These papers have a combination of theoretical presentation and practical illustration. Concurrently, around these presentations, further experiences are drawn from actual experiences; therefore, attendees can visualize and understand the technical and legal aspects of the decision-making regarding patent valuation/appraisal, an asset class in the group of intellectual property - a group of assets with a high difficulty degree in valuation.

Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nam, Engineer. Lai Minh Chuc, Dr. Dao Minh Duc, Speaker. Nguyen Kim Duc In this discussion session, “Invention Valuation in Vietnam: Law and Enforcement” topic was presented in a question-and-answer (Q&A) manner. Under Coordinator Nguyen Kim Duc’s guidance, the guests are able to listen to more experiences that Engineer Lai Minh Chuc - the inventor himself - has gone through, from the initial steps listed as initial ideation to the time when all the stages are completed and the invention is born. These extremely valuable shares from the owner of the invention do contribute to the author’s comments regarding the advantages that the invention possesses. From a valuation/appraisal perspective, these highlights will be the main aspects contributing to the impact and the formation of the values ​​of the invention. Dr. Dao Minh Duc, in his professional manner, has shared quite new and interesting perspectives in patent valuation through diagrams and practical experiences that the author has accumulated over a long time of researching, developing, teaching and applying research theories to the market. Expert Pham Thi Binh - Chairman of Hoang Gia Appraisal JSC, Former Deputy Director, Government Pricing Department – exchanging personal views to guest speakers Assessor. Ngo Doan Thu Thao - Head of Valuation & Advisory Department - DCF Vietnam Joint Stock Company - asking questions to the speakers Throughout the seminar, the ‘commercialization’ term as a keyword that was repeated much is also the topic that most appraisers and patent owners are interested in. The application of the invention to support and solve problems in the market is a prerequisite no matter how great an invention can be. Sharing further concerning this issue, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nam had some notes when commercializing inventions after the valuation/appraisal process. Successful commercialization is determined by many factors, in which, an important issue to be mentioned is the will of the parties involved in the patent licensing transactions. Users’ recognition in terms of the value of an invention is an important factor in commercialization and plays the crucial role to the success of patent licensing deals. In terms of applicable law, MSc. Cao Minh Hung commented that the legal document system of Vietnam has rather clearly and fully regulated issues related to the patent price appraisal. Therefore, the problem remains is that how to add value that appraisers can calculate by applying appraisal criteria. The author also believes that the valuation/appraisal of patents is a difficult task since the access to information sources is rather limited, leading to information asymmetry. This factor strongly affects the appraisal of patent prices in general and the value of inventions in particular. Dr. Duong Kim The Nguyen - Dean of UEH Law Faculty (far left) and Assoc.

From his sharing, the current challenges in the world economy are: Disruption of value chains (Pandemic, War in Ukraine, National security); Lack of energy; Inflation and monetary policy.

In the presentation, Prof. Nitsch has focused on Search Costs, Company Organization and Shipping Costs. The professor brought up the case of eBay as proof of eCommerce and digital transformation. The case studies show that the rapid development of the Internet, leading to a reduction in the cost of information communication, makes distance less impact on business operations. Prof. Volker Nitsch with his presentation The following part is Dr. Do Thi Hai Ninh’ presentation with “Understanding Vietnam's Innovation Ecosystem: Systematic Evaluation” topic. According to Dr. Hai Ninh, innovation has different interpretations; in this research, innovation is understood as the introduction and the application of new products, technologies, business processes, models and business ideas on the markets as well as the invention of new ideas. Conceptual framework for performing analysis is through a systematic view of the innovation ecosystem in Vietnam. Accordingly, from 2011 to 2021, science, technology and innovation play an increasingly important role in Vietnamese socio-economic development. As COVID-19 causes an economic shock that spreads globally and in Vietnam, the importance of innovation and technology adoption for business resilience and productivity growth has intensified. Dr. Hai Ninh has given specific figures in Vietnam as follows: Government’s annual expenditure on Science & Technology for the 2011-2015 period is approximately 1.7% of the national budget, equivalent to 0.4% GDP. The state is the largest funder of research in Vietnam, in which, most of the budget flows to the Government Research and Development Institutes. Total national expenditure on R&D (GERD) in 2016 is approximately 0.21% of GDP (with nearly 80.99% of that spending is under the public sector). Nevertheless, this is a lower rate than that of other neighboring countries and much lower than that of most developed countries. In the final part of the presentation, the recommendation from Dr. Hai Ninh is to re-establish a new strategy towards business innovation based on policy design and implementation, to strengthen institutional coordination and to transform innovation policy. Dr. Do Thi Hai Ninh introducing “Understanding Vietnam's innovation ecosystem: systematic assessment” topic In his final speech, Prof. Yu-Yu Chang from NCKU presented “The Power of Users’ Innovation: Impacting the World in Uncertainty” Theme. The keynote focused on entrepreneurship and how creating new ventures can affect technology and how startups can change the competitive business landscape. Professor Chang began his speech with a case study of Nightscout - a medical device in continuous glucose besides mini Farmbot – the service to check air quality for people to discuss and try a new improvement. The professor stated that: from a great idea for a product, to a startup based on the idea, the allocation and various outside resources to realize the business idea is a long story. According to Professor, the users’ innovation model includes collaborative evaluation, replication, improvement and expansion. Prof. Chang does believe that all of us is able to make significant innovations despite all the challenges with no mutual trust and everyone is trying to maximize his/her own interests. Prof. Yu-Yu Chang excitedly sharing “The Power of Users’ Innovation: Impacting the World in Uncertainty” topic After the speakers' presentations, the attendees asked questions and discussed issues listed as: Starting a new idea and its impact on the business?

With this direction, this article introduces the concepts related to the digital gap, the tools to measure the digital distance, the analysis of the digital gap between Vietnam and other countries in the world as well as the digital gap among the domestic localities in Vietnam. From this background, this article presents a system of the solutions with the purpose of narrowing Vietnamese digital divided in both aspects: international and domestic. The system of the solutions is built on the design framework of digital distance scales and the factors that create the environment for these solutions to be implemented effectively and in the right direction. What is Digital distance? In accordance with the Law on Information Technology of Vietnam in 2006, the digital gap is the difference in conditions and ability to use computers and information infrastructure to access to information and knowledge sources. In Nielson's study (2006), the digital divide can occur in all three aspects: (1) The digital gap is due to economic conditions; (2) The digital gap is due to usability; and (3) The digital gap is due to access permissions. These are 03 important aspects for which digital distance scales are designed. To measure the digital gap between countries around the world, various scales have been designed and published by global ICT-related organizations. Table 1 lists some indicators that have been published for this purpose and their current status. Due to the rapid development of the technology sector and its easy-to-change characteristics, a number of indicators, despite being established very early, are no longer applied because they are no longer relevant.

Source: Author's compilation from collected documents The Digital gap between Vietnam and countries around the world To describe the digital gap between Vietnam and other countries in the world, this article selects 03 typical scales, including the Internet Universality Index (3i - Inclusive Internet Index); Networked Readiness Index (NRI) and E-Government Development Index (EGDI). The published data of these three indexes shows that Vietnam is currently being ranked in the world average group in terms of digital gap, in the top 50% of the countries in the top of the ranking; namely, ranking 58/120 in the Internet penetration index, that of 63/134 in the NRI connectivity readiness index and that of 88/193 in the EGDI E-government development index. When viewing each individual aspect of the Internet penetration index in detail, the issue of Affordability is Vietnam's weakest (ranking 62/120), the remaining aspects listed as Popularity (ranked 54/120), Relevance (ranking 57/120) and Availability (ranking 53/120) are fairly even. In each aspect of the NRI Connectivity Readiness Index, Vietnam ranks quite low in the areas of Law (ranking 98/134), Inclusiveness (ranking 97/134), Connectivity of Enterprise (ranking 89/134) and Government (ranking 87/134). Our Vietnamese lowest ranking among the component criteria of the E-government development index is on the human resource index (HCI) with the rank of 117/193. When compared to other countries in Southeast Asia, Vietnam ranks fourth in the region in terms of Internet penetration and Readiness index, after Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia whereas ranking 6/9 countries are included in the electronic development index ranking. The bright spot in these rankings is that Vietnamese position has improved remarkably over time, especially with the E-government index, which has increased from 99th position in 2014 to 88th place in the past year. 2018 and rose 2 places to 86th in 2020. This improvement also reflects the effectiveness of digital transformation policies being applied in Vietnam. The Digital gap among domestic Provinces/Cities in Vietnam In the context of world economic integration and during the process of digital transformation, Vietnam has also developed various related indicators to measure the knowledge and the level of information technology use in the country. The table below shows a list of some indicators of Vietnam that are related to information technology and contribute to reflect the current state of the digital gap among localities in Vietnam. From this list of indicators, this article selects the readiness index for ICT development and application for analysis because of its comprehensiveness and the length of time of this publication compared to other indicators.

Source: Author's compilation from collected documents The ranking results show a pleasant surprise when the leading economic localities in the country listed as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Dong Nai are not the leading localities in terms of information technology. The top three successive years belong to Da Nang. The provinces ranked last on the ranking are Kon Tum, Cao Bang and Lai Chau. The number gap between localities is rather large. In 2020, Lai Chau's ICT Index is only at 0.1253 points compared to the leading locality, Da Nang (0.923 points), counted on all three sides of that index: Technical Infrastructure, Infrastructure IT Human resources and IT Application level. From the results of the assessment of the digital gap in the country, it can be seen that in order to improve the digital gap compared to other countries in the world, it is necessary for Vietnam to focus on reducing the digital gap among domestic provinces, especially the urban areas, especially mountainous provinces - highland with large urban areas. It goes without saying that narrowing the digital divide with the world can ensure sustainability in development and help the country's successful digital transformation of the economy. Failing to do so, digital transformation will only be successful in the leading cities, therefore, deepening disparities among localities. The digital transformation gap among mountainous - highland provinces is different from that of large urban areas. Source: Photo collections Some proposed solutions to narrow the digital divide in Vietnam The indicators that Vietnam is being weak in the rankings of the indicators reflect the aspects that Vietnam needs to overcome; at the same time, the target of achieving good results is one suggestion for the government to better exploit effective policies. Moreover, it is necessary for Vietnam to focus on reducing the digital divide among domestic provinces to ensure the sustainability of development and help the country's successful digital transformation of the economy. To provide a comprehensive system of solutions built on the design framework of digital distance scales in order to narrow the gap between provinces and between Vietnam and countries around the world. The solution system is designed into eight main groups as follows: First is a group of legal and institutional solutions, helping to create a safe legal corridor for individuals, businesses and organizations to boldly move towards digital transformation. Second is a group of solutions for transforming awareness and forming a digital lifestyle in the whole society, approached from three angles: government, business and individual people. Third is a group of solutions for digital infrastructure development. Investment in building digital infrastructure needs to be performed for both direct digital infrastructure as well as indirect conditions such as energy and environment. Fourth is a group of solutions to improve knowledge and skills in using information technology as solutions to close the digital gap in usability in digital distance scales. Fifth is a group of solutions to improve Internet access conditions. This group of solutions includes two directions: (1) The indirect direction through economic growth, income improvement to improve life comfort by technological advances; (2) The direct direction directed through discounts or sponsorships on information technology services or equipment. Sixth is a group of solutions on the quality of Internet access, in which it is necessary to implement synchronously solutions to increase the quality of connection lines and solutions to increase the quality of information content on the Internet. Seventh is a group of solutions on international cooperation to narrow the digital gap. This is a group of solutions that can be considered when Vietnam has not become a country with much strength in information technology and can only invest in a few key areas. Eighth is the group of solutions on network security. Information security, system stability, integrity in narrowing the digital divide can only be achieved when safety in cyberspace is ensured. In general, the ultimate goal of narrowing the digital divide is not to improve the position on international rankings; rather, to aim at digital transformation and national sustainable development, to improve the citizens’ life quality and to build a modern civilized country.

Vietnamese tourism industry, in recent years, has been achieving certain achievements; including efforts to transform from marketing, market access to management through the application of information technology systems. The objective of this article is to systematize the contents related to digital transformation in tourism, to identify the current situation and trends of digital transformation in tourism in Vietnam, thereby, proposing possible solutions to relevant parties. Image of Hạ Long Bay. Source: Collected photos For more than two decades, the global travel industry has been at the forefront of digital innovation, also, leading the way in business ecosystem evolution, becoming one of the fastest growth areas in the world (UNWTO, 2018), making an important contribution to socio-economic development. In Vietnam, the tourism industry has been achieving certain achievements, with growth prospects in terms of international arrivals, competing with Singapore, Malaysia and even Thailand. Participants in this field have applied information technology to keep up with the trend of the times, going from digitization to digitalization, digital transformation and digital reinvention. 04 important points in the digital transformation process in the tourism industry in Vietnam First, the digital transformation in tourism has gone through four stages. In the face of rapid technological development, the tourism industry requires new thinking related to the industry, new product development models, new business methods and ecosystems and new approaches to support besides capacity building (Table 1). Effective, targeted responses to digital transformation require a collaborative network and learning environment established; therefore, SMEs can be inspired by savvy businesses technology both inside and outside the tourism industry and can learn and collaborate together. The public sector and professional associations have an important role to play in establishing and nurturing this environment. Therefore, the solution related to the training facility is essential. Changing the traditional way with new technology New configuration is better across interfaces New business model, value chain and ecosystem Changing roles of consumers and providers New role of tourism organizations Big data improves management. The shift to the traditional way for executives and the pressure to re-accept traditional business models. Rise of the sharing economy, business on demand. New value creation opportunity. The emergence of global value chains. Digitalization allows for better customization of the visitor’s experiences, new custom destinations emerge. New actors listed as online platforms act as information intermediaries (e.g. Expedia, TripAdvisor, etc.) that provide a variety of services. Digital platforms (e.g. Airbnb, Uber) are expanding beyond accommodation products to manage, coordinate, and facilitate the visitor experience at a destination. Visitors have become active consumers producing and consuming their own experiences (prosumers). They take on different roles, including booking, (self) guiding, evaluating, sharing and marketing the destination. Destination marketing and product development, the traditional role of tourism organizations, is being changed, and these organizations are increasingly taking on a capacity-building and promoting role. However, less and less direct influence on destination development, innovation and marketing. Table 1: Transformation in tourism due to digitization Second, the digital transformation experience of some countries shows that they often invent ways of managing through the national data information system. Building this data system requires digital transformation of many stakeholders and this is considered as one of the first solutions to be implemented. Third, the current situation of digital transformation in Vietnam's tourism industry includes both achievements and limitations. In terms of achievements, institutions and policies of the Party and Government have created favorable conditions for localities to build smart tourist destinations; readiness index for information technology development and application is rather positive; Many localities have been implementing smart destination management, businesses have also transformed the way they manage and operate in a lean way. Regarding limitations, specific mechanisms and policies are still lacking; ICT readiness ranking index in Vietnam's tourism is still low compared to the world; enterprises face obstacles in terms of resources and financial resources in the process of digitization; The online travel market is slow to develop. Fourth, researches to forecast the trend of digital transformation in tourism in Vietnam will include: utilities to support smart tourism become popular; personalization is increasingly amplified; boom of the sharing service economy, many integrated management platforms for travel businesses were born; new wave of jobs positively and negatively affect labor resources; user-based destination marketing strategy; Smart tourism destination is invested.

In the report “Going Digital: Shaping Policies, Improving Lives”, the OECD (2019) pointed out that the gap between technology development and public policy needs to be significantly narrowed in order to reap the benefits and address the challenges of the digital age. Destination businesses need to fully embrace new technologies to stay competitive and capitalize on their potential for innovation, productivity and value creation. Therefore, the article has built a solution model including stakeholders: government (ministerial, sectoral, local), businesses and educational institutions. In summary, the article aims to strengthen the theoretical foundation of digital transformation in the digital economy in general and the tourism industry in particular in Vietnam; assessing the situation; providing the trends as well as solutions that can be performed with stakeholders and the solution model that the authors propose should be able to expand further research.

Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology The impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have been posing new opportunities and challenges for our state's judiciary. The administrative and judicial procedures in the operation of traditional courts have become obsolete towards facing the formation of the new legal relations in the context of digital transformation. The application of technology in judicial reform in Vietnam with the Smart Court model is an undeniable trend. However, the trial operation of the Court cannot meet the new requirements of a new court model if the administrative and judicial procedures that have become inadequate are not improved synchronously. This article points out a few problems in the reform of judicial administrative procedures in court operations as well as proposes solutions to contribute towards building a modern and integrity court system. The actual situation of courts applying online adjudication in Vietnam With the goal of strengthening ‘the application of information technology towards building an electronic court in association with accelerating the reform of administrative and judicial procedures at the Court’ (Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court, 2020), since 2005, the entire People's Court system has applied certain administrative and judicial procedure reform measures listed as issuing a resolution on publishing judgments online, promulgating a Code of Ethics and Conducts of the Judge and so on and achieved diverse achievements in terms of the Court's operational efficiency. On the other hand, it is also inevitable that some limitations appear. Specifically, the form of submitting online lawsuit petitions electronically through the Court's portal has been developed. However, the regulations related to procedures have not met the proposed effects after being tested in practice on a narrow scale in a few courts (Quang, 2020). The problem comes not only from the unsecured information infrastructure but also with the requirement for digital signatures for users of the online lawsuit service. Usually, new businesses can meet this requirement because they are subjects that often have to perform administrative procedures that need digital signatures. In contrast, individuals are more hesitant to choose this service due to the problem of procedures and costs to own a digital signature. In addition to the above-mentioned reform measures, the establishment of an ‘online courtroom’ in Vietnam is a trend that is being directed. However, a new operating model, like an advanced machine system, requires accompanying rules – an operational programmer, which also catches up to ensure that the model operates efficiently and effectively. Nevertheless, the current administrative and judicial regulations related to adjudication activities are the same as those applied to traditional trials whereas the relations related to adjudication activities are and will be digitized and electrified step by step. One of the procedural principles that illustrate this issue is the principle of direct and verbal adjudication (BLTTDS 2015, Article 225; LTTHC 2015, Article 152; BLTTHS 2015, Article 250). Accordingly, the trial must be oral and conducted in the courtroom, this principle shows that the current legal framework still stops at the traditional trial space. How will relevant legal provisions be adjusted to be ready for the change of legal relations in cyberspace? Online trial at the People's Court of Thu Duc City. Photo source: Vietnam Plus Some proposals to improve the reform of administrative and judicial procedures in the digital transformation period Answering the above questions, this article proposes some appropriate solutions to contribute to the process of enhancing operational efficiency and transparency, publicity and consistency of the Court system. Firstly, regarding the online filing method, the courts of first instance should be the first place to mainly focus the petitions of individual citizens, or organizations and businesses; therefore, this method needs to be implemented not only at provincial People's Courts but also at district People's Courts through the separate website of each Court. In addition, the cost to use digital signatures as well as to renew each year should be determined at a level that is more suitable for the individual citizen. The Court system can even move towards a free public service mechanism, for example, instead of requiring digital signatures for identification, it can combine citizen identification numbers and biometric technology (facial recognition) to ensure high security in account registration on the court's website. In addition, the website needs to integrate clearer guiding information, in the form of short but detailed videos with specific information regarding procedural law in parallel in the steps of proceeding to file a lawsuit. This will help reduce the number of electronic lawsuits filed incorrectly, ensuring more benefits for the citizens themselves. Secondly, in terms of the issue of setting up an e-Court, one of the important premise is that the facilities, equipped with modern and scientific working facilities, meet the basic technological requirements of the E-Court; at the same time, improving the quality and efficiency of work related to Judicial Administration for the Judiciary. In parallel with the investment in upgrading the physical infrastructure system, the qualifications and capacity in the field of information technology of the staff working in the administrative and judicial work of the local court units as well as Judicial practice needs to be enhanced through training sessions, testing the use of the new online system. In addition, the law needs to be perfected to meet the requirements set forth by the Fourth Industrial Revolution in judicial proceedings as well as to solve the challenges posed by the Covid-19 epidemic in today's time. For example, the concept of ‘direct trial’ needs to be redefined with scope not only in the traditional courtroom but also in cyberspace, allowing some parties to the proceedings to attend the Court through online form without having to go to Court in person. More specifically, with the legal provisions related to the attendance period in the presence and absence of procedure participants, in the Online Court, court participants at the request of the Court can adopt the supports from The Justice Department listed as scanning the summons and sending it to the Secretary's email/Zalo/Viber for attendance. What is more, today, the trend of digitizing citizens' personal information puts the private data of litigants at risk of being disclosed during the proceedings due to carelessness or intentional opinion of judicial administrative officers or employees working in the Court listed as cleaning staff, security guards and so on. In order to avoid the above situation, a new code of ethics also needs to be developed to respond to the change of procedural relations in cyberspace and protect the privacy of legal participants besides the effective deterrent sanctions. The obligation to keep information confidential for judicial officers and employees should be respected and confirmed specifically in the code of conduct of court staff. In this research paper, the judicial procedures have been and are being oriented to adapt to the trend of technology and modernization of the world. However, in Vietnam, the reality shows that from facilities, equipment to legal regulations, there are still a number of shortcomings: only meeting the requirements of traditional proceedings and not being ready as a foundation for the new judicial system model of the digital age. Therefore, the judicial reform in Vietnam in general as well as the reform of judicial administrative procedures in the operation of the Court in particular needs to be carried out more quickly and synchronously. At the same time, citizens will have higher trust in the judiciary when the legal process is more unified, clear and transparent, demonstrating the integrity of a modern and open court system.

The JST Seminar Talk in March with the theme “Critical Perspectives on Leadership” presented by Prof. Mark Learmonth (Nottingham Trent University, the UK, Editor-in-Chief of Human Relations Journal) attracted more than 50 researchers domestically and from various countries (India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, China) to attend online. Ascending the success in 2020 and 2021, the seminar talk series on “Economics and Business: Agendas for the Uncertain World” in 2022 was held by JABES and started with the seminar talk in March with “Critical Perspectives on Leadership” Theme. Prof. Mark Learmonth is a professor at Nottingham Trent University, the UK. Before being recruited for Nottingham Trent University, he worked for diverse huge higher education institutions listed as Durham University, University of Nottingham, and University of York, and in the first 17 years of his career, he worked in diverse manager positions in the field of Health Services in the UK. Most of his research involves management, management based on evidence, evidence and theories in management research, and methodological debates. Currently, he has mostly interested in evaluating the use of means of communication in identifying managers, the varied nature of language in the process of management used to represent work and organizations, and multi-ethnic studies research methodology, especially in the modification of the society. In the seminar talk, Prof. Mark Learmonth focused on presenting his research and raised perspectives on the differences between the terminology of leading and managing as well as the roles of leadership. From his sharing, the terms “leadership” or “leader” are used simply as synonyms of the terms “manage” or “manager” traditionally. Most of the classic leadership theories suppose that a leader differs from a manager in which the largest difference is placed on their missions. The job of a manager is to get to know well administrative and notary work and instruct their staff while “leaders” are those who inspire their subordinates. The term “leader” is assumed along with valuable attractions and honored social principles. The two terms “leadership” and “leader” are used more commonly, however, within many organizations, the regularity of calling “bosses” “leaders” affects the assumptions about the authority and power at workplaces. Simultaneously, the language of leaders stresses and causes the inequality between those who hold power and their “followers” and, therefore, negates the benefits of laborers. Laborers are described as boring bureaucratic employees while leaders mean those who play the role of leading and connecting them so as to together aim for general goals. In the 50s and 60s, “management” was a common term mentioning the job of managers. However, in the 21st century, research on management theory uses the term “leadership” to generally refer to those who work as managers. Prof. Mark Learmonth assumed that it is necessary to have a new term referring to leaders, who play an important role in building brands and are able to inspire, lead, and be recognized by the whole team. Besides, Prof. Mark Learmonth mentioned the significance of leadership capability in constructing and operating an organization to achieve expected targets. Leading is crucia; however, one more important factor is teambuilding, the participation of employees, the transparency of information, and especially using correctly the competencies of the whole labor force but not only the leaders of organizations. The seminar talk took place excitingly with a number of discussion ideas and contributions about the differences between the concepts of manager, boss, and leader. Additionally, with the aim of providing the researchers with the next research orientation, Prof. Mark Learmonth questioned that managers were leaders but which criteria we should use to assess whether those leaders were working correctly or not was an unanswered question requiring further supplementary research.

This is an initial project in the process of building and developing a Sustainable and Multidisciplinary UEH, performing its responsibility in the mission of carrying out 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Right from the beginning, this project has been particularly focused by the university, “người thật, việc thật”, which is not only a movement or communication activity but it was truly practical. It empowers students to be global citizens acting for sustainable development. Therefore, UEH hopes to listen to sharing, contribution, and consultancy of specialists to deploy the model effectively, at the same time, connects with the community, spread, and share its experience with other universities in Ho Chi Minh City, in particular, and in Vietnam, in general, impacting positively the economy, environment, and society”. Ph.D. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH - sharing at the workshop On behalf of the Board of UEH Sustainable University Project, Master Le Thi Hanh An shared about the project, UEH Zero Waste Station Model, with garbage separating and classifying principles at UEH. With the aim of reducing 65% of buried garbage at UEH, “UEH Zero Waste Station” offered innovative initiatives to separate, classify - unify, transport - connect with recycled partners to transfer garbage into resources - practice recycling, reuse, and refill at their sources. UEH Zero Waste Station Model - a new solution referred to and learned by many universities Under the moderation of Ph.D. Trinh Tu Anh, Director of Institute of Smart City and Management - Head of the Board of UEH Sustainable Project. Environmental experts and lecturers from universities within HCMC interestingly discussed and contributed to the methods of garbage classification at UEH as well as how to stream and process garbage at the university according to the system of trash bins put at UEH Campuses and Zero Waste Station. In that process, all experts placed their emphasis on mutual communication impacting the awareness of learners aiming to actively garbage-classifying behaviors and environmental saving. Particularly in the program, UEH continued to connect with specialists, the Vietnam Zero Waste Alliance (VZWA), related units listed as TC BALL, Recycle One, Veca, Lagom, and so on, to assist them to unify and recycling garbage into useful resources, units owning those programs that exchange garbage for presents, and units processing environmental impacts. Ph.D. Trinh Tu Anh, Director of Institute of Smart City and Management - Head of the Board of UEH Sustainable Project, moderating the discussion session in the program Specialists attending online and offline contributed their ideas to the project UEH Zero Waste Station Workshop - the garbage classification, processing, and management model at universities is a wonderful opportunity for UEH to learn from and cooperate with organizations to together incubate and develop maximally the project.

Therefore, the form of sharing accommodation became popular, Airbnb emerged as the leader because of its worldwide coverage as well as the value of the service it brought to the hosts and users of this service. However, each national region has a specific culture and business institution that brings perceived service value to tourists in a specific way. This research paper aims to help stakeholders have a better understanding of the factors that affect tourists' perceived value when using Airbnb services in the Vietnamese market. From this background, practical solutions with the goal of providing appropriate action solutions for homeowners, service users and policies for state management agencies for the management of services are provided regarding this accommodation-sharing channel. The current “Airbnb” concept Thanks to the development of the tourism industry and the accommodation needs of modern tourists, a new home-sharing platform was born, in which, Airbnb is the "pioneer" of this platform. Although the Airbnb model has reached quite evenly to countries around the world, it is still not completely popular in Vietnam. Therefore, it is important to understand the current status of the application of the Airbnb channel by hosts and travelers as well as the legal aspects of service management in order to propose solutions to help hosts, customers and country. Unlike the foreign market, Vietnamese people often think simply of the shared accommodation model as a homestay business or short-term rental for tourism purposes. However, not all shared accommodation models are shared by guests, this is the case that where the owner buys an apartment, decorates and rents it out is still called ‘sharing’. Airbnb is a typical example of a sharing accommodation model with the original idea of ​​providing a bed and breakfast for guests; this type of accommodation, despite having the basic functions of a place to stay, lacks the high-class services associated with a hotel or a family atmosphere like a homestay for international students living with a host family. In addition, customers of the sharing accommodation market span many different age and occupation segments. The current models of sharing accommodation are further promoted thanks to digital platforms listed as websites and smartphone apps. This model of sharing accommodation is both beneficial to tenants and generates income for homeowners as well as contributes to the market economy development. Most of the hosts believe that the biggest motivation when joining this channel is “Airbnb stands out to help resolve conflicts between hosts and guests”, facilitating core transactions related to electronic payment issues and providing the ability to control the room rental timing. The situation of shared accommodation model in Vietnam in the digital transformation period When Airbnb first appeared in Vietnam in 2015, that Airbnb's starting number of rooms was 1,000 did not absolutely attract customers with this system. However, in the 2016 – 2018 period, the fact that the list of rooms on Airbnb grew significantly with the number of nearly 100,000 apartments put into operation in Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoi (212%) and Da Nang (225%) are the destinations with the highest growth of apartments/rooms registered for rent via Airbnb channel with more than 18,000 hosts and 40,000 rooms (according to ‘Homesharing Vietnam Insights’ Report of Outbox Destination Management and Consulting Services Co., Ltd., 2019, pp. 5-15). In Vietnam, this type of Airbnb service has evolved differently from the original definition. Service providers (Hosts) can share an empty room or their entire house to earn a legal profit without being legally bound. The accommodation service through the Airbnb channel has become a formidable competitor to other types of accommodation. A look at some statistics in Outbox Consulting's ‘Homesharing Vietnam Insights’ report for the 2015 – 2019 period shows that the number of Airbnb rooms in Vietnam reached 40,804 - an increase of more than 40 times higher after only 4 years. Up to now, Vietnam has 18,230 landlords renting accommodation on this channel, of which, 69% of apartments/bedrooms for rent on Airbnb in Vietnam are multi-listing hosts and the remaining 31% are only one-apartment homeowners. The report states that Airbnb helps increase profits for homeowners. The accommodation service through the Airbnb channel has become a formidable competitor to other types of accommodation. Source: collected picture Some solutions towards digital transformation promotion through Airbnb accommodation service In terms of the host: In spite of the outstanding advantages listed as the price when renting a room with the Airbnb service, which tends to be up to 30% cheaper than that of a hotel room, Airbnb is facing various legal problems with taxes, the quality of registered apartments is not obvious whereas the category of rooms is increasing without strict management. Therefore, the solution for homeowners is that they are forced to do the following commitments:  registering information with Airbnb, ensuring a response rate of booking requests within 24 hours, accepting customer booking requests as quickly as possible and avoiding cancelling a customer's reservation. In order to improve the reviews of visitors, the host should provide full facilities or replace some equipment in the room listed as air conditioner, television, Wifi and so on; keeping room hygiene; responding and resolving guest issues promptly via text message or direct call. In addition to security and safety assurance by checking and listing properties before renting, facilitating payment via online applications listed as Mastercard, Visa or E-wallets for guests with domestic accounts (Vnpay, Zalopay); background-check to ensure that the tenant is verified by Airbnb; clear rental regulation establishment, etc. are essential things to perform. It is worth noting that the host must have a sense of good service attitude, enthusiasm, ability to communicate directly with foreign guests, especially English. If possible, the landlord can design diverse types of rooms with different prices for customers to choose. Long-term campaigns listed as advertising with SEO tools, discounts when guests stay for a long time or the follow-up room rent and so on are possible options. Last but not last, the host must monitor guests’ arrival and departure schedule through notification application on their personal phones for timely-support provision. In terms of Airbnb: The company can cooperate with reputable banks and promote discount codes regarding bank payment to help spread Airbnb reputation in Vietnam. In addition, advertising campaigns through channels (listed as Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok), promoting good-looking design rooms and organizing after-sales programs should be widely applied. Airbnb should actively give the fees for laundry, cleaning, car rental and more to customers to choose in advance and ask the host to set the exact prices. Furthermore, Airbnb must bind the account information of both the customer and the landlord, including authentic identification documents, contact information and a certified business license from a local authority. In addition to the photos of the accommodation, Airbnb should ask the host to provide additional photos of the area around the accommodation so as to ensure security and reliability. Furthermore, Airbnb must ensure that the host has periodically repaired the equipment in the house, especially locks, lights, burglar alarms and so on to keep customers’ property safe. Finally, Airbnb can provide customers with emergency phone numbers of the local police, local People's committee or even that of Airbnb headquarters in the area for customers to contact urgently. For state management agencies: In order for E-commerce activities to fully develop to their potential, the state must first have a state management agency in charge of the shared-stay model to soon adjust and complete the legal framework and promptly supplement the legal documents; review business conditions in the direction of simplifying administrative procedures, specifically amending regulations on E-commerce legislation. In addition, the Government needs to accelerate the construction of electronic data and information infrastructure, especially building an open data system, investing in the development of the Internet network and upgrading network security to ensure the safety of the Internet with the purpose of ensuring the benefits for users besides the specific tax income regulations in order to collect taxes from Airbnb business individuals properly and sufficiently. Accommodation services through the Airbnb channel have a lot of potential to develop and promote digital transformation in the Vietnamese market. Therefore, both Airbnb and the Vietnamese state need to have measures and policies so as to apply this accommodation sharing model effectively and sustainably towards protecting the rights and creating conditions for the domestic users.

IBM applies design thinking to train employees (Eickhoff et al., 2018). Many companies listed as Procter & Gamble, Deutsche Bank use design thinking to cope with the rapidly changing business environment, where agile behavior, new technology adaption is necessary to survive (Leavy, 2010; Vetterli et al., 2016). Exploring the concept of “Design Thinking” Design thinking contributes to important changes in human-centered problem solving, which seems to be an option worth considering in order to stay relevant and ahead of the competition. For example, Airbnb innovators are constantly searching how to generate reliable and stable new business ideas with the help of Big Data, at this time, Airbnb has access to more information regarding their customers so as to understand their behaviors (Lalicic et al., 2021). Theory and practice of applying design thinking to digital transformation have been popular in the world in recent years. The applied content of design thinking in digital transformation is synthesized and presented by our author group in this article together with a number of digital transformation-related works that are reviewed with important application topics. The authors conducted an interview with a successful case of applying design thinking to digital transformation, a case involving a leading multinational company in the field of manufacturing paper products with world-famous brand names of sanitary napkins, diapers and toilet paper. This study has applied the basic theoretical framework of digital transformation and design thinking to illustrate and analyze the difficulties and challenges when businesses transform digitally, from this foundation, summarizing some implications and solutions to apply design thinking to digital transformation for businesses. The application of digitization and digital transformation has brought practical value to marketing tactics that are crystal clear as follows: businesses must create insights for each person and propose value, content and access rights must be tailored to each individual. For design thinking, a 5-step process with Empathy Phase – Defining the problem – Generating ideas for solutions (ideate) – Visualizing (prototype) – Verifying is summarized and presented by our authors. In which, design thinking contributes to making important changes in the process of solving problems, focusing on people, in which this factor seems to be an option worth considering to maintain relevance and to outperform the competition. Theoretical framework for design thinking to make it collateable and comparable. It adds a functional perspective to the personal view of the various personality traits of a design thinker. Figure of the process applying design thinking to the digital transformation process. Source: Compiled from Tschimmel (2012) Case analysis of applying design thinking to digital transformation in enterprises In terms of methods and case studies, conducted through an in-depth interview tool, the interview was held with Ms. Nguyen T.T.L to document the process of applying design thinking to the digital transformation process in order to develop new products (the main products in the Vietnamese market related to feminine sanitary napkins) under the managing of her R&D Department. Interview questions revolved around topics related to success, difficulties encountered when businesses apply digital transformation, and the process of implementing design thinking into digital transformation. In Vietnam, X Group focuses on personal care for women and children. X has been applying digitalization in all Departments from Marketing, Sales to Factory and Supply chain. The most focused departments are Marketing, Sales and manufacturing plants. The group's goal is to apply digitization across all divisions; therefore, the divisions have implemented a system-wide digital transformation program. The results of the interview data analysis indicate that the digital transformation in Group X has achieved certain successes. Nevertheless, there were also difficulties that X had to face. For successful digital transformation, X has applied a 3-step design thinking process (Understanding - Envision - Prototype), instead of a 5-step process, and considers this as a tool for everyone in the company to analyze, to evaluate and to understand the users’ needs, thereby, creating products that are suitable for market needs. Obtained Lessons Lessons learned from the digital transformation at company X show a synchronous deployment strategy for all departments to connect and to be compatible with each other. Strategy comes from the vision and the mission of the business besides the fact that: to achieve this, the business leadership must be the leader in giving implementation programs, plans and policies. Just a few years ago, a business might ask itself whether or not it should go digital; nevertheless, today, this is the wrong question. The right question should be how businesses should digitally transform to optimize their business operations in all aspects. That needs a system of solutions from understanding knowledge to applying it properly, sufficiently and appropriately. Digital transformation is difficult and can bring risks to businesses if digital transformation practitioners do not understand the basics. Evidence from company X shows that enterprises must implement training activities to update digital knowledge, digital applications and digital transformation for all employees globally. Therefore, the solution to apply digital transformation must start with understanding it. Enterprises should provide basic training courses on digitalization and digital business for their employees. Consulting organizations can be outsourced to make this process more efficient. Situation X demonstrates the design thinking that has been incorporated into the company's processes and training for employees globally. From a theoretical perspective, design thinking shows an important role in understanding user behavior and creating products that reduce risks. Because both products and services have to go through design, if designers only create products in accordance with their personal preferences, the products can be very creative and good but they are not suitable for customers’ or users’ needs. Therefore, understanding and applying design thinking stages flexibly (for example, 3 steps instead of 5 steps) is an activity worth considering. Enterprises should learn and incorporate into their business processes design thinking as a solution to understand users and, from this result, products and services that are right for them can be created. Design thinking helps businesses understand their users through the touchpoints and through the implementation steps. Source: Photo collections With the user-or-customer-centric philosophy of design thinking, businesses can leverage popular digital tools listed as social networks to gather content generated from themselves relevant to the industry in which the company operates. Through this content analysis process, businesses will derive users’ or customers’ needs and desires and find ways to satisfy them. If conducted well, businesses can see this as their core competitiveness to help them win over their other competitors. Businesses need to consider a number of factors as follows. As users become more and more powerful, they increasingly control information through digital applications. Giving control to customers can be a double-edged sword for businesses. However, this is an inevitable trend and it is important for businesses to have tools as well as a solid theoretical foundation to both empathize with customers and create solutions that match their needs while engaging them in the co-creation process within a tightly controlled framework. Design thinking is a tool as well as a theoretical framework that is being popularly applied by many researchers and managers today. Design thinking helps businesses understand their users through the touchpoints, and through the implementation steps. In addition, design thinking is a problem-solving tool that can be applied to other stakeholders than just users. It's essential to note that design thinking is not a magic stick for every business problem. It, itself, is only a theoretical foundation and a tool to implement an application process, in the above case as digitization application. Successful application requires a combination of other core factors that are not discussed in this article listed as strategic thinking on digitalization, leadership culture in change management, human people foundation in digital transformation. Enterprises should learn and incorporate into their business processes design thinking as a solution to understand users and, from this result, they can create products and services that are right for them.

Evidence from Chinese firms” theme. The seminar attracted 30 lecturers and researchers to attend via in-person and Webex online formats. The 3rd SOB Research Seminar (SRS 2022) with “Go green when you are pinned: Do climate action plans work? Evidence from Chinese firms” Theme received the presentations of 2 keynote speakers: Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan and Dr. Hoang Khanh. This was the first time these two authors had collaborated on presenting their papers and participating in discussions with invited guests. Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Southampton (the UK) and Vice Editor-in-Chief of JABES, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and Dr. Hoang Khanh is a lecturer at Lincoln University (New Zealand) and National Economics University, Hanoi. In this research, the group of authors evaluated the reactions of Chinese firms towards the recent commitments of the Chinese Government in terms of decreasing greenhouse gases and preventing climate change. The team of authors forecasted that energy-intensive and greenhouse-gases-releasing firms in China will increase the use of diversified strategies to react to the new commitments of the Government in terms of reducing emissions. Utilizing the Paris Agreement at the COP21 event (in 2015) as an observation point, the research had found evidence that heavy-emission firms tend to diversify their revenue more than others. Additionally, the research figured out three transmission channels (including technological innovation, state ownership and liquidity) through which the new commitments to reduce emissions had affected the strategy of diversification of firms. The research findings imply that the reactions of heavy-emission firms in China are mainly short-term; therefore, many “hidden things” in the project of reducing emissions of the Chinese Government are exisiting. The overview of the Seminar The presentation took place completely excitingly with various discussion queries from lecturers and invited guests attending in-person and online. Dr. Phan Chung Thuy - School of Banking - started the discussion session with the context of research and recommended research orientation while the research orientation of the authors was in contrast to previous ones. Dr. Ho Quoc Thong - Lecturer in School of Economics - discussed and suggested supplementing proofs of the integration between the strategy of diversification and emission reduction due to the explanation for the reasonableness of the research theory on the strategy of diversification as a solution for firms to adapt to the commitment to reduce emissions. Moreover, Dr. Ho Quoc Thong recommended adding further results of changes in corporate behaviors each year (after the event in 2015) and an appendix showing the relationship between the strategy of diversification and the effectiveness of firms. Dr. Ho Quoc Thong raised his discussion questions Adding to the recommendations of Dr. Phan Chung Thuy and Dr. Ho Quoc Thong, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung assumed that China was a suitable context to analyze by monitoring the behaviors of firms toward the commitment to preventing climate change. In addition to that, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung gave some solutions for the strategy of diversification of governmental firms and suggested the group of authors consider supplementing other actions of firms when reacting to the commitment of the government to emission reduction and climate change prevention. Furthermore, Dr. Vu Thi Le Giang recommended adding explanations about the modification of the strategy of diversification of firms while watching charts and time frames (within 2 years). Dr. Giang’s questions involved the valid time and plan to take place the commitment of emission reduction of the Chinese Government. Similarly, Dr. Ngo Minh Vu - School of Banking - questioned the transmission mechanism of the “technological innovation” in the correlation between emission reduction risks and the strategy of diversification when firms were diversifying technologically. Finally, Dr. Pham Thi Anh recommended the group of authors to supplement result discussions related to the impacts of macro-control variables on the firms’ diversification strategy. Dr. Hoang Khanh’s answering part Beside direct discussions, the seminar received detailed comments from Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Deputy Head of College of Economics, Law and Government. Dr. Pham Khanh Nam pointed out the internal problems towards the research in terms of theory frame, methodology used to measure the risks of emissions and diversification as well as other problems within the research scope and methodology. Remarkably, Dr. Pham Khanh Nam supposed that the paper did not clarify the different reactions (diversification and investing in regenerative technology) of firms towards environmental law. Because Dr. Pham Khanh Nam thought: even though the investments in R&D are successful, the complete replacement of manufacturing technology will be extremely costly; therefore, increasing the capital and the price of products. Firms, generally, will not invest in changing their manufacturing technology but will consider purchasing the emission-permission certificate instead. However, purchasing the emission-permission certificate is not included in category diversification. The doctor emphasized that category diversification is not much different from manufacturing diversification or environmentally-friendly technological modification. Comprehensively, most constructive comments contributed to assisting the paper to be perfect and better in the future. The seminar ended successfully. This is a periodical activity affiliated with the Scientific Seminar Series of School of Banking in 2022 aiming to create an academic exchange forum between lecturers and researchers of UEH, especially to update new research orientations in the field of economics and finance - banking. Dr. Hoang Hai Yen sent memorable presents to Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan and Dr. Hoang Khanh The Board of Organizing took a photo with the speakers With the orientation of being a research university reputable in the Asian Region, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is continuously promoting scientific conferences and research, and activities connecting to the community of scientists to contribute valuable knowledge achievements and serve for the development of the country.

However, most domestic logistics enterprises are completely small-and-medium-sized companies. The management system is not synchronized as well as the shortage of capital, experience, technology and labor qualifications, the competitiveness of Vietnamese logistics industry is much lower than that in the world. Recently, augmented reality technology (AR - Augmented Reality) has opened up many new directions of application and development, helping to improve operational efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises in the field of Logistics in general and Intralogistics services in particular (Winkler & Zinsmeister, 2019). Augmented reality technology is rated relatively high in terms of investment value as well as the scope and initial investment cost that can match the existing facilities and operating procedures of enterprises operating in the field of Intralogistics in Vietnam. However, most enterprises operating in the field of Intralogistics Vietnam have not applied augmented reality technology yet. The integration of this technology into organizational processes in the field of Intralogistics in the world in general and Vietnam in particular has posed diverse challenges. Researches on the application of augmented reality technology in the field of Logistics and Intralogistics focus only on the ability to integrate technology and its impact on business processes, almost of which does not analyze the confusion and complexity obstacles that can arise from integrating augmented reality technology into the organization. The article analyzes and proposes policies to increase the likelihood of success when applying augmented reality technology to Intralogistics services in Vietnam. Stages with highly potential application of augmented reality technology in Intralogistics activities in Vietnam: Firstly, applying augmented reality technology in order-picking will bring out the best in the potential and benefits of this technology. Given the important role of warehousing, goods picking takes a large amount of time and resources and accounts for about 55% of total operating costs (Khanzode & Shah, 2017). Moreover, the demand for fast and high-quality delivery is increasing in the age of technology, resulting in pressure to streamline the picking process. However, most warehouses around the world in general and Vietnam in particular are handling products by manual process with a paper-based approach. In addition, this type of work is often performed by short-term workers who may lack the experience and skill to do it without error. As a result, a number of augmented reality technology innovations have been applied to large warehouses that store overcrowded goods during the peak seasons. Secondly, train employees to perform value-added services. Augmented reality technology is used to train warehouse staff at a lower cost with flexible times and places. This type of training is useful during peak seasons when the warehouse workforce typically multiplies and boosts the productivity of newly hired warehouse workers to the highest possible level. The roadmap of applying augmented reality in companies operating in the field of Intralogistics in Vietnam can be summarized through five steps as follows: Setting goals for augmented reality apps Various tasks and subtasks can be implemented or improved using augmented reality technology but may require varying levels of technology and complexity. For example, a company may choose to install an appropriate augmented reality app on a smartphone. Complex devices like augmented reality smart glasses can be used for maintenance or assembly tasks along with the right software. Creating your own digital content Augmented reality applications include software, hardware and digital content. Corporate hardware and software can be easily purchased; however, digital content, as the core of the application, is the sole asset of the company and should be created within the company. For an object to be presented in an augmented reality application, it needs to be digitized. This can be achieved by customizing existing 3D models of products and machines or by creating new models using 3D modeling or 2D/3D scanning. The wisest strategy for the company is to make a list of existing digital assets in 3D and other forms, after that, proceeding to build the digital content using 3D modeling or 2D, 3D scanning. On the other hand, digitizing documents of technical instructions listed as assembly instructions, machine repair instructions, design procedures and so on into digital content suitable for augmented reality applications is a complex task that requires a team that includes the technologists from this company besides augmented practical specialists. Locating augmented reality devices and connected objects Each of these technologies has both advantages and disadvantages. The marker pen technology is the simplest and seemingly most reliable method for Vietnamese companies. In the future, researchers are improving and upgrading these methods and developing hybrid methods based on a combination of available technologies. Determining the required augmented reality device For simple augmented reality applications, devices listed as smartphones and tablets are suitable. The current augmented reality devices can receive manual commands (smartphones and tablets), voice commands (smartphones, tablets and specialized glasses) and eye commands (specialized glasses). Devices that receive eye and voice commands save time and allow the users’ hands to perform other tasks. However, due to the nature of noisy industrial environments, these devices are difficult to filter out noise and function properly. As a result, companies use gear that aligns with their goals in the short term and develop a cross-platform approach that enables augmented reality experiences across multiple device platforms in the long term. Defining an approach to augmented reality software development Two common approaches to augmented reality software development are as follows: (i) standalone software that loads onto a device and can be run without an Internet connection, and (ii) access to augmented reality content hosted on the cloud. The first approach is reliable and suitable for high-resolution experiences; nevertheless, it is not easy to change digital content. The second approach requires an Internet connection, however, developers can easily change and upgrade content on multiple devices. The second approach is suitable for companies that require frequent changes to digital content. In addition, in order to increase user acceptance, businesses need to pay attention to solutions that focus on increasing communication between employees and reducing concerns regarding privacy risks of users and those around them during using their augmented reality devices. Augmented reality applications, currently, are being the most popular in Intralogistics worldwide. (Source: Collected photos) The most promising stages for augmented reality application in Vietnam are order picking and training that can later be developed into other forms listed as maintenance, human-robot cooperation, logistics planning. Key steps of augmented reality implementation in companies are also outlined, covering broader requirements, including non-technological requirements like the ease of application use and, most importantly, two aspects that risk the privacy of users and those around them. With the increasing interconnectedness and popularity of smart devices, two aspects of privacy risk need special attention for further study. In addition, the following areas of future research selected are as the most promising: object and site recognition; eye and voice control; control industrial systems through augmented reality. These areas allow to combine existing technologies and exploit their best properties to achieve the highest achievements, therefore, improving the digital industrial environment in Intralogistics services.

Celebrating the Month of Youth 2022 with the topic “Creative Youth”, the Green Fire Station program organized by Student Association - Union of UEH School of Social Sciences took place with a welcome of students. The program was held to target at bringing students a useful and interesting playground to advance a “Zero Waste” lifestyle. Throughout 3  stations of activities, students both earned more environmental knowledge and had opportunities to practice based on garbage classification and recycling activities. Activity 1 “More” Green Station - Reduce In this activity, students watched pictures, infographics, with information and knowledge about the environment, 3R Model, and so on, which were illustrated lively and vividly. After that, they respectively answered questions related to the knowledge they had just studied, simultaneously classified garbage to the answer A, B, C representing each sort of garbage. All students showed their interest in earning further environmental knowledge and raising awareness related to the fact of environmental pollution via figures and practicing directly garbage classification. Activity 1 “More” Green Station - Reduce Activity 2: “Keep” Green Station - Reuse In activity 2, students can understand more regarding garbage classification ways throughout garbage classification activities with a diverse range of available garbage (already processed) prepared by Board of Organizing. Those activities were supposed to be simple, but completely exciting thanks to regulating participants to stand 2 meters away from the garbage and use a 1-meter-long chopstick to hold and classify the garbage. For that reason, this activity took place excitingly and partially challenged the students. (Activity 2: “Keep” Green Station - Reuse) Activity 3: Green “Creating” Station - Recycle Before finishing the journey at Green Fire Station, UEH students would experience recycling products from products classified in activity 2 with tools provided by the Board of Organizing. Shortly, UEHers proved their creativity due to their personalized products boldly carrying their true color and also useful for life. Especially, attending activity 3, students are able to recycle and seat with new friends, together creating an enjoyable and amazing atmosphere. The message: Don’t “ignore” the environment & Embrace the World from participating students After 2 days of the Green Fire Station 03 meaningful activities, the program received the support of 553 students with an estimate of 300 products. Hopefully, these figures do not stop at this stage but will be spread wider by UEHers with a green lifestyle spirit and garbage classification habit with the 3R Model that they experienced through 3 activities of the program, contributing to creating a Green living community surrounding UEH students.

At CTELG Talk - Session 1, Mr. Nguyen Kim Duc, representing their author group (Dr. Hay Sinh, MSc. Tran Bich Van, and MSc. Asessor. Nguyen Kim Duc), presented “The model of choosing enterprises is similar in operation. Business Valuation Activity in ASEAN countries”. The first version of this theme, conducted for the Vietnamese market, was presented at the 20th ASEAN Price Appraisers Conference 2017 in Singapore and honored to receive the “BEST PAPER AWARD” award by Prof. Lim Lan Yuan - President of WAVO (World Association of Valuation Organizations) awarded in the name of President of AVA (ASEAN Valuers Association). In more details, Mr. Duc presented some key features in applying current academic research to the practice of valuation activities; at the same time, guiding the guests on how to apply the similar business selection model into practice. International publications on mineral valuation and mass appraisal written by experts from organizations with valuation functions in the world were also introduced by the speaker to the participants. Guests listening to the speaker’s presenting aspects of the valuation profession Through this program, the speaker provided guests with more ways to explore the open scientific repository and provided a completely new, professional and class-oriented view of the valuation profession. The speaker also asserted that each business valuation dossier is unique and no two business profiles are the same. Therefore, a price appraiser, like an artist, needs passion to sublimate, in which his work - the appraisal certificate - is tailored for each set of documents. Expert Pham Thi Binh – Chairman of Hoang Gia Appraisal JSC, Former Deputy Director, Government Pricing Department Mr Dang Sy Kiet - Dat Xanh Group sharing Summarizing his presentation, Mr. Nguyen Kim Duc emphasized: “Valuation is a science or art [...] is a famous concept of Professor Lim Lan Yuan, President of WAVO; in which, artistry is the professional judgment of the appraiser. Ideally, artistry exists due to the professional nature; However, in reality, the artistry also comes from the absence of theoretical foundations or empirical research to support because practical activities are always diverse. Therefore, the greatest practical significance of these events is to contribute to a partial shift from art to science so that the artistry, over time, will be created in accordance with the specificity of the profession”. The delegates took memorial photos at the program On the road to forming a multidisciplinary and sustainable university, UEH is constantly promoting scientific research activities, connecting the community to spread practical knowledge values, and solve social and economic challenges and in the current globalization context, thereby, towards sustainable development.

After more than a year and a half of being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, Vietnam is more aware that the need for digital transformation is no longer a fashion trend or a technology concept, rather, a vital solution for all activities of a country, a business during and after the pandemic. In terms of national economical specificity, SMEs, accounting for a large proportion (97% of the enterprises), playing an important role (contributing 40% of annual GDP); therefore, digital transformation in Vietnam must focus on success in order to succeed. Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the concept of “digital transformation” The Covid-19 pandemic has not only brought negative impacts to employees’ health but also altered their working and living habits as well as the operation and business methods of SMEs. In other words, businesses must let their employees work online, have online meetings and even increase online sales due to epidemic prevention measures. Therefore, it should be stated that SMEs themselves have been shifting from a ‘multi-touch’ business model to a ‘less-touch’, even ‘no-touch’ business model. The pandemic is also a pressure on SMEs to accelerate the digital transformation process, to seek a more flexible business model, to save costs and to optimize resources to overcome difficulties and continue to develop. Digital transformation is the technology application in changing an enterprise's business model, thereby, creating more opportunities and new values, helping businesses increase growth and achieve better sales. The process of digital transformation in enterprises is often divided into three levels: (1) Information digitization (Digitization) is the stage of transitioning from traditional methods (analog) to digital platforms, creating digital representations of data entities. This process opens up for enterprises a new space, a new business model and the potential for technological innovations waiting to be exploited (Rojers, 2018); (2) Digitalization is the use of digital data to streamline work. This level aims to innovate the business model of enterprises to adapt to the existence of digital environments (Brennen & Kreiss, 2016); and (3) Digital transformation is the application of data and processes in new business models (Nambisan et al., 2017). Digital transformation trends are forecasted to continue in the coming years (in terms of the context that both the world and Vietnam nation continue to be suffered more or less influence from the Covid-19 pandemic) listed as: Investment/ spending on digital transformation will almost double; 80% of enterprises will deploy Remotely Working solutions; Online working technology will replace the physical office in enterprises; 5G technical communication network will cover the globe; More concentration on omnichannel retail; The strong development of Cloud computing technology; as well as Acceleration in analytical, predictive and descriptive techniques in various fields. Situation of digital transformation of SMEs in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic The survey of the project research team on approximately 400 SMEs in the Southeast region in 2020, of which 61.3% are enterprises in the manufacturing and processing industries - a group of industries with special requirements for the ability to master technology and techniques in production, which is the driving force for the digital transformation process whereas the remaining 38.7% of enterprises are in the fields of construction, trade, services and so on - collectively referred to as non-manufacturing sector. Survey data shows that SMEs have also initially implemented digital transformation in activities listed as internal management, purchasing, logistics, production, marketing and sales and so on; however, the results achieved is rather modest. Although SMEs have been accompanied by the Government with a series of supporting mechanisms and policies to meet their practical requirements of digital transformation, only 57.6% of enterprises in the manufacturing industry as well as 41. 4% of the non-manufacturing industry applied digital technology before the Covid-19 epidemic; during the period that the Covid-19 epidemic took place, 18.6% more manufacturing enterprises and 35.8% non-manufacturing enterprises started and will continue to apply digital technology; 16.9% of manufacturing enterprises and 17.9% of non-manufacturing enterprises have not applied digital technology yet but they show their interest in digital technology; approximately 7% of manufacturing enterprises and 5% of non-manufacturing enterprises have not applied digital technology yet but they have no plan to apply digital technology in the future. In accordance with a survey by the Vietnam Software and Information Technology Services Association, only 6.6% of enterprises have enough resources to change from the old system to the new technology system; 34.6% of enterprises will change step by step due to insufficient resources; 27.5% are in the process of preparing capital and resources and up to 31.1% of enterprises have initiated nothing; more than 70% of SMEs react passively to market changes; only a quarter of SMEs have invested in modern technology in recent years while most of them use nearly 80% of machinery imported from the 1980s and 1990s; most SMEs have not developed a strategy for digital technology application yet and are proactive in innovation. SMEs have also initially implemented digital transformation in activities listed as internal management, purchasing, logistics, production, marketing and sales and so on but the achieved results are rather modest. Source: Collected photo Factors deciding successful digital transformation In accordance with interviewing experts combined with data collection from the Digital stars showcase project (2020), it can be summarized that the basic reasons preventing SMEs from successfully implementing digital transformation as follows: (1) SME leaders, due to the lack of vision and limited awareness of digital transformation, become hesitate and stay out of the digital transformation trend; (2) Each SME itself has neither built a clear digital transformation strategy in line with its business strategy and resources yet as well as nor identified appropriate technology transformation directions, from that enterprises can easily lose direction, resulting in giving up; (3) Many businesses carry out digital transformation but have not built a suitable roadmap yet because they just pay attention to quick results, that is to say, they choose to perform many changes at the same time while lacking basic resources). This has caused delays and failures in the digital transformation process. Solutions to promote digital transformation in SMEs From the above-mentioned basic reasons, a number of solutions to promote the digital transformation of SMEs are proposed as follows: (1) Radically changing thinking and approach to business in a way that combines online keeping with offline (O2O) -  an important factor for SMEs to succeed in digital transformation; (2) Developing a digital transformation strategy in association with the business strategy, ensuring that it is suitable to the actual situation and transformation ability of enterprises; (3) Building a customer-centric digital transformation process, concurrently, being suitable to the circumstances, conditions and resources of each enterprise. The digital transformation process is suggested with the following steps: 1. Focus on customers; 2. Changes in organizational structure; 3. Changes in management; 4. Transformational leadership; 5. Decision on technology; 6. Integration; 7. Internal customer experience; 8. Logistics and supply chain; 9. Data security; 10. Development of products, services and processes; 11. Digitization; 12. Personalization. In addition to the above solutions, a number of recommendations are proposed to the Government in order to create more favorable conditions for SMEs to implement digital transformation, namely: Institutional reform for enterprises to perform digital transformation; Moving towards phasing out and eliminating the need for paper documents in business processes; Organizing more seminars on the use of digital technology to guide enterprises to implement methodically and on a large scale; Supporting SMEs in finance and developing highly-qualified human resources in information technology besides supporting SMEs to connect with partner enterprises and digital solution providers; Being more proactive in participating in building Vietnamese legal framework in line with the regional and global framework on digital technology.

What’s new and unique about this year’s International Day is the debut of UEH’s virtual portal, connecting between Campus N and Vinh Long Branch. Two hearts but one beat, the portal and its profound meaning acted as a great reminder to the students that despite geographical boundaries, as long as we join hands in unison and practice empathetic listening, all will be swell.

Not out of this trend, the Vietnamese government is also completing the process of digital transformation in the healthcare system and people's healthcare. The reality shows that the need to apply technology in medical management and expertise is extremely necessary. Moreover, Vietnam is a country with many advantages to be able to successfully apply digital health solutions. The research paper analyzes the current situation of Vietnam's health sector, and lessons learned from around the world, in order to find solutions and recommendations for policy makers to successfully implement the digital transformation to keep up with the times and meet the growing needs of the people. Situation of digital healthcare transformation in Vietnam Developing the healthcare system is one of Vietnam's top priorities. Spending in this sector is expected to increase from $15.6 billion (accounted for 6.5 percent of GDP) in 2018 to $42.9 billion in 2028, which is equivalent to a 10-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. Its health expenditure is among the highest in ASEAN. Moreover, health spending per capita is projected to triple, from $161/year in 2018 to $408/year in 2028. Besides, Vietnam has advantages in applying digital health solutions. Firstly, more than 60% of Vietnamese are under 54, who are more familiar with new technologies. On average, Vietnamese people spend 7 hours a day on online activities, three of which are on mobile devices. Secondly, many policies have been introduced to develop infrastructure and information and communication technologies. As a result, internet access had been made available throughout the country, with a penetration rate of 67% by 2017 and an annual growth rate of 28% (Hootsuite, 2018). Mobile information technology is also growing rapidly in Vietnam, with 4G networks now covering over 95% of households. Thirdly, Vietnam's technology infrastructure is moving towards cloud-based services, delivering opportunities to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to provide healthcare services. These factors form a foundation for Vietnam's digital transformation in healthcare. Challenges affecting the Vietnam's digital health transformation process However, there are still many challenges in Vietnam's digital health transformation process. Patients face several difficulties, from accessibility, quality, to overall experience. These include long waiting time in hospitals, a lack of skilled medical resources, and hospital beds. In 2018, there were 2.9 beds and 0.8 doctors per 1,000 people in Vietnam, lower than the OECD average of 4.7 beds and 3.3 doctors. In addition, 65% of the Vietnamese population lives in rural areas, tending to move to urban areas for better health care. After long periods of travel and waiting, doctors’ consultations are often superficial, and they do not have access to the patient's medical records. The lack of trust in digital health is also a major obstacle. Patients, especially the elderly, remain skeptical about the legitimacy of the information provided on medical platforms. In addition, confidential information and the ownership of health information are becoming a concern. Since health data is often highly sensitive and personal, patients will be interested in how their data is collected, processed, and analyzed by a service provider and/or a third party. The digitization process in Vietnamese hospitals is now fragmentary, small and is mainly carried out in central public hospitals and private hospitals in Class-1 cities. Primary healthcare providers have limited financial and technical capability; therefore, they are not willing to adopt health technology. Departments of diagnostic imaging, hematology, oncology and surgery were the first to adopt digital solutions. However, the connection and integration of the systems is still inefficient. Sometimes, doctors and nurses are unable to access patient information stored in the systems of other departments. In summary, digital transformation is not simply an adoption of information technology but also a comprehensive reform to improve efficiency, competitiveness and create the foundation for long-term development. Though Vietnam is in the early stages of healthcare development, it has attained certain achievements so far. Although the development process still faces many challenges, especially financial constraints, Vietnam can rise to the top of digital health through learning from other countries. Bluezone is one of the technology applications for Covid-19 prevention and control in Vietnam. Healthcare development is one of the biggest concerns for almost every country. Currently, digital transformation in the health sector is a global trend, helping to improve the quality of healthcare service, saving time and cost, and increasing the efficiency of medical examinations. In Vietnam, decision No. 749/QD-TTg of June 3, 2020 has been approved by the Prime Minister, "The National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, oriented to 2030". Accordingly, the healthcare sector is prioritized to adopt digital transformation. The sector is defined as "the field of social impact, with the fastest cognitive change, efficiency, cost savings, and should take first priority." Furthermore, The Ministry of Health is also focusing on three objectives in transforming healthcare (Decision No. 5316/QD-BYT): (1) building e-health infrastructure; (2) electronic medical records; and (3) an online one-stop public health service system. Proposed Solutions Three factors need to be taken into consideration when implementing the digital transformation process in healthcare: To do that, the process needs to go through five steps. The first step starts with identifying immediate goals, priorities, and calling for investment. The second step is to improve the data information system. Data for a digital health needs to meet four factors: Relevance, Actionability, Availability, and Interoperability. The third step is to update technology constantly. The combination of quality data and the right algorithms will increase the effectiveness of medical examination, management quality, and reduce human error risk. Fourth, data needs to be secure. The health information system must be closely monitored by responsible managers, clearly identify and constantly update regulations on data use, train health information managers, ensure the safety of data systems, and especially not disclose personal information. The final step is to train and develop technology skills for medical personnel and other users. On that basis, specific implementation options include: Building information systems, digitizing medical data All existing medical data needs to be digitized and stored in an information system. Internal health sector documents should be stored on the system so that all information is accessible. Documents that are allowed to be published widely need to be posted on the medical portal so that people can access them. Developing information technology applications in disease prevention and treatment It is necessary to ensure sufficient infrastructure through the implementation of information security monitoring systems, construction and upgrading of information technology systems at all levels. Once the system is capable of serving, it is necessary to deploy electronic health records of the whole population. The construction of medical information systems requires coordination between the state, technology development companies, health workers, and the people. Thus, the new system meets the criteria to ensure technicality, while still matching the actual needs of doctors and patients. Without coordination between the parties in the first place, the cost of adjusting the product when there is negative feedback will be prohibitive. Facilitate access Medical portals and the use of electronic medical declaration software should be widely disseminated to the people. This can be done by incentive programs, support packages when people participate, and promotional activities. In addition, for people in remote areas, it is necessary to send health officials and state officials to organize general guidance sessions. Confidentiality of personal medical information Since health data is often highly sensitive and private, patients are often concerned with how their data are collected, processed, and analyzed. Information leakage had occurred, which caused people to doubt and lose confidence. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure security, build trust; because only then will people join the system. Ensuring a solid legal corridor during implementation Finally, it is necessary to develop a legal framework to ensure consistency among agencies, including the Ministry of Health, the Information Technology Department, the Department of Planning and Finance, the Department of Preventive Health, the Examination Administration, medical treatment, Department of Science and Technology and Training, Departments, Departments, General Department of Population and Inspectorate of Ministries, Departments of Health, and grassroots health units. The role of the Ministry of Health is very important. It is necessary to monitor closely, and frequently check the status of projects, in order to promptly handle the situation. When all of that is ensured, Vietnam can successfully implement the healthcare digital transformation process to improve the health and life quality of Vietnamese people.

Besides, the picture has been more and more complicated because of the war between Russia and Ukraine booming on February 24th, 2002. However, compared to other countries in the region, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of Vietnam gained 54.3 points, the 2nd position following Singapore calculated until 02/2022 (according to HIS Markit), which revealed that the economic recovery will have potential advantages. To recover the Vietnamese economy in the post-Covid-19 era, the Government targets to obtain the growth rate of GDP at 6 - 6.5%, control the inflation rate below 4% as the National Assembly requested, and continue to maintain economic-recovery policies including passed economic stimulus packages and remaining the interest at a low rate. Nevertheless, international embargoes will affect Russian investments in Vietnam (most of them are electric and oil projects), tourism will also lose its traditional Russian customers. Additionally, Assoc. Prof. Ngan affirmed that: although the Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted a variety of economic activities, the banking system has been operating stably whose profits rose approximately 25% in 2021. In 2022, the banking field still has profits thanks to the digitalization ability and strong development of E-banking services responding to the realistic demand of society but faces challenges because of certain delays of the pandemic impacts to the credit quality, lending ability and recovery of economies. Assoc. Prof. Tran Hoang Nguyen sharing at the Talk Within the framework of the Talk, specialists, lecturers, and learners exchanged and discussed crucial knowledge associated with potentially increasing interest in the upcoming time because of the pressure of inflation and the reaction of commercial banks, the occupational structure of Vietnam has been shifting considerably during 2-year period of Covid-19 pandemic in addition to positive impacts from national digitalization projects passed for the Vietnamese commercial banking system, and so on.

Digital transformation and high technology application are expected to help the sector improve production productivity, adapt to climate change, ensure income for farmers, and reduce food waste.However, digital transformation in agriculture in Vietnam is still local in nature and lacks comprehensiveness on the national scale. This article aims to assess the current status of the agricultural digital transformation in Vietnam, thereby suggesting policy solutions to promote this process. Current status of agricultural digital transformation in Vietnam Many specific mechanisms and policies have been issued to apply the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the agricultural sector. Credit policies have focused on increasing credit limits and reducing interest rates for green and high-tech agriculture projects. In particular, Decree No. 116/2018/ND-CP allows high-tech agricultural businesses to borrow up to 70%-80% of the project values without collateral assets, while other incentives focus on cutting costs and reducing other administrative procedures. The article identifies the main difficulties in including: (1) lack of asynchronous agricultural database system; (2) lack of investment capital; (3) small, fragmented, and dispersed production scale with high initial cost; (4) lack of enforcement mechanisms to ensure product quality, food safety and traceability; (5) small and unstable markets for high-quality products; (6) agricultural business and farmers lack the capacity to work with high technologies; (7) lack of high-quality human resources; (8) climate change is becoming more complex. Policy Suggestions for Vietnam Capital Simplifying and cutting steps of the registration procedures and processes for Decision 19/2018/QD-TTg and clarifying criteria for recognition of hi-tech agricultural projects so that small businesses and farmers can access better credits. In addition, banks need to have a detailed plan to recognize assets on agricultural lands such as greenhouses, net houses, and ponds as collateral for loans. Commercial banks need to extend the repayment periods when high-tech agricultural projects face natural disasters and adverse weather events. High-tech agricultural projects in Vietnam can save equipment costs by using local equipment components to make their equipment more affordable, instead of importing equipment directly from international markets. The State needs to focus on solving the problem of land concentration and accumulation as well as raising farmers' awareness and working skills to attract investment capital. Land State agencies need to reduce taxes and fees (for example, personal income taxes, registration fees, cadastral fees, appraisal fees) and increase the transfer limit for agricultural land. In addition, local authorities need to act as intermediaries to conduct transactions between farmers and investors. In addition, it is necessary to emphasize the role of agricultural cooperatives in gathering small-scale agricultural households. Farmers will allow the cooperative management board to represent them in dealing with suppliers, investors, and technology firms. In addition, landowners can directly participate in the production process after being trained to apply high technology in fields. There should be policies to limit the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land and reserve lands for green and high-technology agricultural projects. Awareness and human resources To increase the application of smart agriculture and high technology, both farmers and government officials need to have a deep awareness of the costs and benefits of high technology adoption in agriculture. Therefore, the benefits of applying green and high technologies need to be demonstrated in front of relevant stakeholders. Universities and companies providing technology need to teach farmers the ability to read and understand the data collected by the IoT system and then apply the knowledge to their farming decisions. In addition, future technologies need to be user-centric and constantly improve to make the equipment more user-friendly and easy to use for farmers. Network connection There is a need to increase Internet coverage and reduce connection costs in remote areas to help farmers access IoT technology. Besides, having access to the Internet will also create opportunities for farmers to increase their knowledge of agriculture and information technology. Strengthening linkages and consumption The authorities need to link farmers with large agricultural suppliers and exporters to increase the application of hi-tech agriculture and traceability, especially for small-scale farmers. To do this, the state needs to organize (i) a policy dialogue on the development of digital tools for agriculture at the sectoral, provincial, and national level; (ii) encouraging entrepreneurship in digital agriculture; (iii) improve access to tailored financial products for manufacturing institutions, SMEs and startups looking to invest in digital; (iv) improve access to the data and information needed to conduct big data machine learning in digital agriculture; (v) improving the legal framework for E-commerce; (vi) addressing bottlenecks in public research; and (vii) harmonize interventions with the agenda of the digital economy. In addition, it is necessary to promote e-commerce platforms as a way to increase consumption of smart agricultural products and establish appropriate game rules to bind the quality of agricultural commodities. Legal framework The export of traceable agricultural products often targets markets that are strictly regulated on factors of food safety and hygiene and the origin of agricultural products. Therefore, the state and private companies need to carefully study the legal framework on traceability and food safety in these countries to develop standards for Vietnamese farmers' farms. EU regulations that the state can study and apply include EC 178/2002 and EC 1224/2009. Please refer to the full research “Digital transformation in agriculture in Vietnam” here.

Concomitantly, JABES has become the first Vietnamese journal in the field of Social Sciences & Humannities, Business and Management to be recognized in this prestigious academic index. This is an outstanding step contributing to UEH's roadmap towards becoming a university with a high academic reputation and sustainable action in the region in particular and contributing to enhancing Vietnam's identity in international academic forums in general. JABES - The First Vietnamese Social Science & Humannities, Business and Management  Journal Officially Indexed in SCOPUS With more than 31 years of persistent, efforts of the JABES and their community as well as internal support from UEH, and the Ministry of Education and Training, JABES has reviewed the standards, making continuous improvement with the goal of being indexed in SCOPUS List. The process of applying for indexing in SCOPUS officially starts on November 5, 2021, after completing the required documents. After more than 4 months, on March 6, 2022, JABES has received the Official Notification Letter regarding being indexed in the SCOPUS List. The 4-month strictly process for JABES to be officially indexed in SCOPUS List Link: https://suggestor.step.scopus.com/progressTracker/index.cfm?trackingID=8ED7EE6632FA0068 SCOPUS, launched in November 2004, is owned by the prestigious international publishing house Elsevier (Netherlands). To be covered in the SCOPUS list, all journals must pass a rigorous evaluation and selection process from Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board. The evaluation process relates to important contents as International diversity, Editorial Board and authors, article quality, number of citations, Journal publicity policies, etc. The evaluation process of SCOPUS journals is also dependent upon the Impact factor. Besides, the content on the website of SCOPUS (http://www.scopus.com) is very useful for various purposes from searching documents to assessing the scientific research status of individuals and institutions training, research, and so on. The SCOPUS list providing reliable scientific articles A step forward contributing to UEH's path towards becoming a university with an academic reputation in the region and in the world JABES has now covered in the SCOPUS index and this has been a part of UEH's goal of internationalizing and strengthening the academic reputation; thereby, increasing the scientific reputation, affirming the publishing quality, and enhancing the recognition in the domestic and international academic community of JABES in particular and UEH in general globally; concurrently, it helps to expand the scientific network with scientists and spread knowledge. This achievement has been a process of persistent efforts full of internationalization aspirations from generations of UEH leaders and those of Journal leaders over the past 31 years. Both UEH leaders, lecturers, researchers, a network of national and international scholars to the authors, reviewers, and the community of JABES editors and collaborators has always strived to achieve to internationalize goal of JABES; and together marked an important turning point as JABES has become the first prestigious international journal in Vietnam within the Social Sciences&, Business and Management field to join SCOPUS. This result has been effectively steered and supported by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). Highly appreciated to JABES Upgrading Projects from 2012 until now with two funding phases by MOET in associated with powerful and efficient resource investment from UEH have contributed efficiently to the JABES success. JABES - Over 31 years of development and integration, towards being recognized on international academic networks Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies under University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City was formerly known as Journal of Economic Development with the first Vietnamese language version published in 1990; The first English-language version was published in 1994 named Economic Development Review; after that, the title was changed to the Journal of Economic Development in 2012. Since January 2018, this Journal has officially changed its name as Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES). JABES is a scientific journal in the field of economics and business and has two versions: English version (JABES-E) published 4 issues/year on the system of Emerald Group Publishing and Vietnamese version (JABES-V) published 12 issues/year by UEH. Research articles submitted to JABES must pass a rigorous peer-reviewed process to ensure standards and improved academic quality of scientific articles. Since its official presence on the Emerald Group Publishing System's database (May 2018), JABES-E has published 12 issues with 72 research articles from 162 authors from more than 30 countries around the world, in which, foreign authors account for more than 75%. JABES has an annual acceptance rate of approximately 12% - a relatively highly selective indicator of scientific quality in each review stage. The entire review and approval process for an article takes around 190 days. Up to the fourth quarter of 2021, JABES-E has an approximately Citescore index of 4.46 (the number of citations/the number of articles published in 2018– 021 period), in which, the 4 sub-categories (Finance, Economics and Econometrics, Business and International Management) are in the highest percentile (Q1). Currently, JABES has strived to maintain a steady level of influence and citation in the scientific community. JABES has had more than 31 years of establishment and development with diverse achievements. Along with the greatly impressive efforts of the Editorial Board, Advisory Board and the Associate Editors over many periods, JABES has had great and significant milestones for the standardization process in accordance with international standards as follows: Therefore, by the end of 2021, JABES-E has been indexed in ESCI, EconLit, EBSCO, Cabell's Directories, Discovery Service, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), ASEAN Citation Index (ACI), Google Scholar, WorldCat, Proquest... (more information at the link: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/jabes#indexing-and-rankings). These important steps in the JABES assisting process ensure eligibility to be ranked in the SCOPUS journal system in March 2022. Current activities and chalaneges ahead for JABES after SCPOUS Over the period of 2021–2022, JABES has accelerated and implemented a series of activities to enhance internationalization and identity on academic forums listed as: Successfully organizing The 3rd Asia Conference on Business and Economic Studies  (ACBES 2021) with a fully online platform to cope with the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; periodically organize a series of scientific seminars called JABES Seminar Talk (JST) with the participation of high reputed Professors as known as Editor-in-Chief of A and A* Ranked International Journals (or influential researchers in the international scientific community) to introduce promising research trends. In addition, the JABES has invited scholars as Editor-in-Chief of leading journals in the world to join the Editorial Board of JABES as: Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Economic Theory (Prof. Tilman Börgers), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Labor Economics (Prof. Kevin Lang), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Business Research (Prof. Anders Gustafsson), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Population Economics (Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of World Business (Prof. Ajai S. Gaur) and more. These renowned scientists have had great influences and accompanied the development of the JABES during this period. Joining SCOPUS is one giant step, contributing to UEH's roadmap towards becoming a university with an academic reputation and sustainable action in the region in particular and contributing to enhancing Vietnam's identity on academic international forums in general. Nevertheless, maintaining and developing the quality of JABES at higher rankings in the near future will be the upcoming challenge for the whole JABES team on this journey. Therefore, continuing to maintain professional rigor, ensuring compliance with publishing ethics, covering in ABDC, ABS, ERIM list in order to enter other important indexes and so on are the upcoming targets of JABES. In addition, JABES will focus on key research areas listed as sustainability and economic development to further contribute to national, regional, and global science.

Not being out of this wave, the management of people in companies is also witnessing the strong development of a new trend: using People Analytics (PA) - in personnel activities. PA is expected to help reduce and move towards eliminating emotionality and risk in human resource decisions, helping managers have more bases in making policies on people. The question here is what PA is? Is the application of PA in human resource management in particular and administration in general in the world really effective as expected? What is the current situation and ability to apply PA in companies in Vietnam? To be able to use PA effectively, what do companies in Vietnam need to do? This article hopes to be able to give some suggestions for the above questions. People analytics or HR analytics? It should be stated that there is currently no unified definition of People Analytics because this is a new concept. Among the popular definitions of PA in the world, the definition “[PA is] a data analytics-driven approach to managing people in the work environment” by Gal, Jensen and Stein (2017) is the shortest definition. Besides the term PA, several other similar terms are related to human data analytics, listed as HR Analytics, Workforce Analytics, Talent Analytics, and Human Capital Analytics. In which, the term HR Analytics is a popular term and often used interchangeably with PA. However, there is a fundamental difference between these two terms in terms of characteristics as well as the scope of application. While HR Analytics is the intersection between human resource management and data analysis, PA is the intersection of all three areas: human resource management, data analysis and financial management. Therefore, PA is far ahead of HR Analytics in both respects: usage data and usage goals. Figure 1: Relationship between People Analytics and related administrative activities. Illustration based on Van Vulpen (2019). Benefits of applying People Analytics in administration It must be stated that PA is increasingly being applied in corporate governance activities, especially in decisions related to human resource management. To do this, PA has brought the company four main benefits as follows: (1) Supporting for evidence-based management; (2) Limiting subjective and human bias; (3) Promoting strategic thinking; and (4) Gaining a competitive advantage. Figure 2: Benefits of applying PA in administration. The author group synthesizes and designs. On the other hand, PA becoming a new trend in governance, not only coming from the four main effects listed above but also being driven by the following three main reasons: (1) Digitalization process and the development of digital technology; (2) Breakthroughs in data processing techniques and (3) Trend of shifting from traditional governance to evidence-based governance. The status of People Analytics application in Vietnam In according with Google Trends data for Vietnamese users, the keyword PA started to become popular in 2015; however, since 2017 until now, HR Analytics is a more mentioned term in Vietnam. Figure 4 compares the number of searches for PA-related terms on Google in Vietnam. This is similar to the general trend of the world from 2017 and earlier; in contrast, starting in 2018, the world is more interested in PA than in other terms. In addition to the difference in terminology, Vietnam's PA application level is also lagging far behind the world. If we divide the PA application into 4 levels (Bersin, 2016), the survey results in 2021 of 181 companies in Vietnam show that the current level of PA application in Vietnam is only close to the level of PA application in the world in 2013. Figure 3: The foundation for People Analytics to become a new trend in governance. The author group designs based on that by Van der Laken (2018) The survey results also show that companies in Vietnam have not focused on storing, collecting and connecting data sets within the company to be able to analyze data more effectively. This is also consistent with the result that only 50% of the companies interviewed have a need to apply PA in the future. In addition, the survey indicates that workers in Vietnam identify PA with HR Analytics and have a high need to learn more about PA. However, only over 40% of employees answered that they desire to immediately apply PA in the company knowing that the application of PA may lead to other consequences, for example ethical and legal issues (privacy invasion). Figure 4: Comparing the Number of Search Terms On Google From Vietnam. The data is taken from Google Trends, then using a locally-weighted estimation technique – Locally Weighted Regression (Cleveland & Devlin, 1988), also known as locally weighted decomposition smoothing technique (LOWESS) – Locally Weighted Regression Scatterplot Smoothing. Aggregated data on Google Trends. Some recommendations towards building a development environment for People Analytics in Vietnam In order for PA to be applied and developed in Vietnam, this article would like to present necessary and important recommendations for 04 target groups. In particular, the article especially emphasizes recommendations for the target group of company leaders. To be more specific: In terms of company leaders: The most necessary and urgent job is that leaders need to have a plan to build and perfect a centralized information collection and data management system because human data is the backbone of PA as well as to ensure privacy during data collection. Besides, in order to be able to analyze data scientifically, companies also need to build an analytical team that consists of all the skills and 4S thinking including: (1) Mathematical thinking - statistics, (2) Strategic thinking, (3) Scientific thinking, and (4) Economic information systems thinking. Figure 5: Perception of People Analytics among Vietnamese workers Note: Orange – strategic thinking           Blue – statistical thinking Green – scientific thinking            Turquoise – information systems thinking (Dividing by 4S Thinking in Figure 6) (Data from survey) The above four types of thinking intertwine and influence each other in PA application projects. In addition, leaders of companies must actively act as a bridge between the PA team and other departments in the company because creating a bridge between the PA team and other departments in the company can help reduce mistakes in the analysis process and train thinking groups for the PA team. Finally, to be able to apply PA successfully in companies, leaders and managers themselves must have a strategic view of PA. In terms of consulting - analysis companies: In order to ensure the effectiveness and to create trust and prestige for the PA service market, consulting and analysis companies participating in the market need to build and strictly comply with the security requirements and limitations in the process of exchanging and using the lessee's data. At the same time, companies also should balance between business secrets and the transparency of analytical algorithms, ensuring the scientificity of analysis results and avoiding over-calculation. Figure 6: People Analytics' 4S Thinking. West-based design by author team (2019) In terms of the government: PA activities are closely related to highly self-hidden personal information. Therefore, PA application will be highly regulated by the legal framework on the protection of personal information. Currently, the Government is in the process of developing a decree on personal data protection chaired by the Ministry of Public Security. However, most of the discussion surrounding this decree has focused on issues listed as the theft of personal data in cyberspace, the illegal trading of personal data, and the requirement that service providers privacy service of users' personal information. In parallel with the development and completion of the legal framework on personal data protection, the Government also needs to study and supplement to the labor legal framework new problems arising when employers use PAs to protect personal data. control and manage employee behavior, especially in the case of employers through platforms.

This project has received the support of more than 7,000 students and parents in the revising process for the high school graduation examination and professional orientation; 2,000 teachers in 13 provinces of the Mekong Delta River region in terms of the process of teaching and learning online. In 2022, UEH upgraded and completed 2 special supportive tools) the online graduation examination training course and personality multiple-choice test) towards evaluating professional capacity, particularly for high school students before their university threshold. Online graduation examination training course - A concrete preparation for the high school graduation examination Preparing to seat in the National University Examination, 12th-grade students are easily under pressure from not only selecting majors - specializations matching their interests but also from the process of training for the exam. Understanding challenges and the desire to accompany students on the journey of conquering the university dream, UEH has built and implemented Online High School Graduation Examination Training Course product within the framework of the UEH Global Learning project. UEH Graduation Examination Training Course is a data warehouse integrated with all multiple-choice tests of the following subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Ethical Education from 2015 to present that assists high school students, especially 12th-grade students to have an opportunity to familiarize with the multiple-choice format of the High School Graduation Examination and revise all knowledge from fundamental to inclusive one. Besides, this examination training course is equipped with an automatic-correction function which allows students to self-practice and self-evaluate their knowledge every time and everywhere without depending upon the instruction and observation of teachers, therefore, preparing better for their upcoming final-grade and national university examinations. Graduation Examination Training Course on UEH Global page https://global.ueh.edu.vn/course/view.php?id=65 This is an opportunity for students to gradually familiarize themselves with the online learning and revising environment, train their self-studying spirit, be ready for blended-learning integrated classes (classes comprise traditional learning activities combined with online learning time) in the university environment. Personality and professional capacity-evaluating multiple-choice test - Accompanying the young generation in selecting majors and acting for their dreams Accompanying the young generation in selecting exactly majors and professions matching their personalities and making dreams come true, UEH Global Learning Project simultaneously connects with professional orientation tools with two personality and professional capacity multiple-choice tests recommended by the world’s leading universities and professional-oriented experts which are HOLLAND and MBTI methods. In addition, after doing a set of questions evaluating professional capacity, the received result will show participants an overview picture of undergraduate majors in Vietnam compatible with them. Especially, the results will point out that UEH programs fit them the most: UEH is the first university to provide a completely free, comprehensive, and integrated professional-oriented tool. Multiple-choice page: Discovering your potential with UEH https://hieuveban.ueh.edu.vn/ The question bank evaluating professional capacity of HOLLAND helps participants discover their professional features in accordance with their natural hobbies (favorite activities or situations in which they frequently involve(d)). Therefore, they can identify groups of majors having relaxing and suitable environment for them, including 06 groups: Throughout 60 questions (10 questions/ professional group), participants can identify outstanding professional groups appropriate to their personal orientation on the short run. The following step is to search carefully information related to majors given according to the results of specializations matching their personal orientation and hobbies the most. The result of the multiple-choice test in accordance with Holland method The set of questions of MBTI helps participants be able to orientate themself more clearly and understand themself better based on MBTI theory - explaining how behavioral characteristics differ from person to person in different situations, therefore, leading to different personalities. The multiple-choice test has 04 contrastive couples of characteristics which are: Throughout 50 questions, participants can identify 4 letters representing their particular personality tendency or features on the short run. This result supports participants to have further information to measure the suitability of their personality to the jobs as well as the working environment of corporates to discover and to select a proper profession. The result of the multiple-choice test in accordance with MBTI method Deployed in March 2021, UEH Global Learning project has aimed at sharing and transferring digitalization experience in learning and teaching activities for high schools, especially locations limited in terms of geography and difficult to implement learning and teaching online. This project has 06 core products comprising: (1) Online learning and teaching; (2) Online writing and multiple-choice examination organization; (3) Mixing paper question bank and answer keys; (4) Online High School Graduation Examination Training Course; (5) Personality Multiple-choice Program helping select professions and (6) Admission Consultant Function.

This innovation is marked by the rapid development of modern information and telecommunications technologies, associated with the scale of their wide application in social life. For technology to function as expected, data must play a central role. Data is a key resource in the digital economy (European Commission, 2017). Nevertheless, due to its value and potential, data has become the subject of cybercriminals. Among the data serving the process of economic development model innovation, besides industrial data, personal data is the most seriously compromised (Higham, 2016; Rob Sobers, 2021). In Vietnam, the situation of infringement, theft and sale of personal data online has been taking place openly and boldly on open forums, with increasing severity and scale besides bigger and more technically-sophisticated than ever (Anh Quan & Thanh Luan, 2021; Hackers sale dozens of GB data of Vietnamese citizen and business, 2021). Facing the above situation, policy makers must continuously innovate methods of checking and monitoring personal data protection to meet the needs of industrialization and modernization in the new situation. Decision number 2289/QD-TTg dated December 31st, 2020 of the Prime Minister on promulgating the national strategy on the fourth industrial revolution to 2030 clearly stated the guiding position, in which, the Regulatory reform in order to create appropriate standards of behavior in the digital environment, especially regarding the legal provisions on protection of personal information is extremely urgent. Inadequacies of current Vietnamese personal data protection mechanism The current Vietnamese law governing this issue has some shortcomings as follows: (1) Currently, Vietnamese law is choosing a ‘static’ approach, strictly stipulating the necessary measures and processes upon collecting personal information of users right at the input stage, when users have just started to register to use services and products. This approach exposes many inadequacies and creates significant obstacles to the digital transformation process; (2) There has been no unified framework of principles on personal data protection; instead, regulations are being scattered in diverse documents in different fields; (3) There has been no clear and unified definition of the concept of ‘personal data’; (4) There has been no mechanism to resolve the conflict between users' personal privacy and business ownership in digital transformation activities. The question is whether there is a cross-cutting principle to develop a legal framework on personal data protection in Vietnam and how to build a legal framework on personal data protection towards the privacy of data subjects so as to obtain the balance against the interests of data processing subjects? The concept of ‘Personal data protection’ First of all, it is necessary to consider how the rights to personal information are perceived. Upon mentioning the rights of personal information in the digital environment, most current opinions believe that this is a derivative of the right to privacy, which is considered one of the fundamental human rights which are established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966). However, another viewpoint is that the right to data is not an extension of the right to privacy, rather, a right of its own. Specifically, the right to data is understood as the right of an individual subject to require other subjects to apply appropriate and legitimate procedures when transmitting their personal information (appropriate flow of information) (H. Nissenbaum, 2011; H.F. Nissenbaum, 2010). Understood in the above way, personal data protection does not refer to the act of giving the subject complete control over his personal information to be put to use in the digital environment, rather, protecting the accuracy of the personal information in the process of processing, empowering the data subject that is aware of the purposes, methods and objects of information processing and transmission, concurrently, creating the obligation of the processor to ensure the processing of legal personal information transmission in accordance with the rule of law and social ethics. Therefore, the law, instead of focusing too much on empowering individual users to intervene in the enterprise's business database, should only create a cross-cutting set of principles for data processing and transmission, in which, concentrating on promulgating technical regulations and conduct codes for data processing subjects. (Tuomas Pöysti, 2019). International Legal systems protecting personal data It is a shortcoming not to mention the leading legal system in protecting personal data today: the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Principles set forth four main principles: (1) The principle that data processing must be conducted lawfully; (2) The principle that the information subject is aware of the processing; (3) The principle of minimizing data processing; (4) The principles of safety and confidentiality for data. These principles are currently considered as the legislative model for personal data protection regulations globally, including those in the ASEAN region (The EU GDPR's Impact on ASEAN Data Protection Law, 2019). In particular, these principles are also reflected through new provisions in the Seventh Chapter of the Civil Code of China (Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, 2020). In particular, these principles are also reflected through new provisions in the Seventh Chapter of the Civil Code of China (Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, 2020). Both the EU's common legal framework and Chinese law define the processor's obligations and responsibilities for personal data processing and give the information subject the right to intervene in the process as well as how the data is handled by the subject matter. On the other hand, the current giving of too much power to the subject has created the phenomenon of ‘Consent-inflated’, causing the subject to become too ‘obsessed’ with the consultation procedures to the point where the efficiency and significance of the consent procedure can no longer be achieved (H. Nissenbaum, 2011; Tuomas Pöysti, 2019). In other words, the validity of the principle of the subject's will become weaker; in addition, the compulsion to obtain the will of the subject through the procedural transactions set out in the law will create unnecessary obstacles, affecting freedom of business and developing under a new growth model during the fourth industrial revolution (Tuomas Pöysti, 2019). The starting point of the legal framework on personal data protection in Europe and China is to protect the privacy of individuals, on the foundation of promoting the protection of personal information in the face of paradigm changes towards information technology application in Industry 4.0 Legislative proposal on personal data protection needs in Vietnam From our selective reference to the laws of other countries, this study proposes two groups of general principles to develop a legal framework for personal data protection in Vietnam: (1) Ensuring the rule of law in the society meaning, synchronizing the legal system; (2) Ensuring national sovereignty, balancing interests among entities on the basis of upholding the free will of the involved parties in legal relations. From the above two main principles, this article presents specific recommendations for future legislative work and policy implementation as follows: In terms of the legislative work of Vietnamese National Assembly: First is to recognize the moral rights of individuals to personal information through clear, precise, one-meaning provisions in Vietnamese Civil Code. Second, it is necessary to issue a separate law on the protection of personal data, in which, to develop clear and accurate criteria for classifying personal data to have a suitable adjustment method for each type of data. Third is to build a correct, concise and clear system of rights and obligations, upholding the equal method of agreement in data processing relationships, which includes: (1) The right to clear and accurate information in connection with its personal data processing; (2) The right to be aware of who is responsible for the processing of his data (3) The right to the extent reasonable to request correction, rectification and cessation of processing rights to the data processor his personal data; and (4) The right to complain, reflect, and express opinions regarding the processor's data processing and the right to request an audit certificate of the safety of the data processing. In terms of the work of making regulations and management agencies: First is to develop a mechanism to allow and encourage enterprises and organizations to self-develop a set of technical, safety and security regulations for the process, the technology and database systems used for data processing and to create a proactive basis for businesses to fulfill their obligations with respect to the data they process. Second, it is necessary to set up a specialized department to receive reports and complaints regarding cases of breach of obligations in handling personal data or cases of system data leakage. In terms of additional enterprises, organizations and individuals that process personal data: It is necessary to actively comply with the above principles right from the beginning of setting up the system and business model so that Privacy protection principle is integrated by default into the technology and business model design from the outset; in addition, a risk-prevention mechanism and safety measures should be established so that personal data, in case cybersecurity incident occurs, is guaranteed to be fully updated and safe in a backup system. To sum up, this article has affirmed that the privacy protection approach based on giving absolute rights to data subjects in keeping confidential and disposing of personal data is ineffective, without our proper awareness of privacy in terms of this Industry 4.0 context and a clear set of principles in handling personal data as the foundation. Instead of stipulating a list approach with more efforts for assumptions, the future Personal Data Protection Law needs to focus on providing premise and guiding principles for the rights delimitation and parties’ obligations, creating an open and flexible legal corridor and accountability mechanism for the parties to actively promote their rights related to personal data.

With the restructuring strategy to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University by 2030, UEH officially positions our focus on “Training Global Citizens – Sustainable Action” with two implementation phases to achieve the target goal. The first phase, from 2022 to 2025, is focusing on “Training global citizens” and the second phase, from 2026-2030, on training in the form of ‘Empowering learners to take the initiative to act sustainably”. Speech of Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Đông Phong - Chairman of the Council of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City Global citizenship education beginning with building a global vision The role of universities is completely important effort to realizing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of United Nations by 2030, in which, Global Citizen Training - Education for Sustainable Development are two urgent tasks of higher education today in all countries around the world in order to achieve the goal of Quality of Education (specifically, SDG4.7) (UNESCO. 2019). These are also two core programs to support individuals and organizations in all countries to effectively implement the remaining SDGs. “Global citizenship training” is understood as a methodical training process, equipping learners with in-depth knowledge and global perspective, full of skills and the right and professional attitude to live – work in their field of study so that they can work effectively after graduation anywhere in the world with a global mindset – acting locally. “Empowering learners to take initiative to act sustainably” is understood as a training process that helps learners to be ready to participate and take on active learning roles not only to solve challenges in their living locality but also contribute to solving global problems for a more peaceful, secure and sustainable society right in the process of studying at university and later (UNESCO. 2019). “Training global citizenship and empowering learners to take the initiative to act sustainably” is concretized in three areas and is very closely linked with each other, namely awareness, social consciousness and behavior (UNESCO. 2015a). Awareness is understood as being equipped with knowledge, skills and thinking to understand local and global issues. Besides, social consciousness is understood as the sharing of values, understanding, empathy, solidarity, respect for peace, and multiculturalism. Finally, the learner's behavior must be demonstrated in the willingness to apply knowledge and skills in practice to act effectively, responsibly and sustainably. Diverse universities around the world (especially in European countries) are implementing training activities based on the global citizenship training framework with four main pillars listed as: (i) Improving training programs tradition to update new knowledge of the 21st century; (ii) Increasing skills, attitudes and behaviors against discrimination, injustice, understanding multicultural environment for learners; (iii) Helping learners have a vision and critical thinking on global issues; (iv) Learners must be equipped with core competencies like the ability to act autonomously, to mobilize knowledge and to inspire the community (OECD 2016). At UEH, not being different from the common development of the world, training is being the most crucial pillar. “Training Global Citizens – Sustainable Action” is both a goal and a means to realize the remaining 4 pillars of the multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University development strategy to 2030. UEH is ready to launch the next generation of global citizens - Empowering learners to act sustainably On the roadmap towards implementing the new positioning value for learners at UEH as well as effectively transforming the goals of the Party Committee, UEH leadership into the entire training process at UEH. UEH also establishes clear implementation roadmaps through the consensus of lecturers, staff, learners, UEH partners and the UEHer community. UEH's training is to meet the requirements of society or to train in fields that are the strength of the school as well as to be step-by-step towards actively empowering learners listed as actively requesting study, research, practice on sustainability through an interdisciplinary – multidisciplinary training program that is personalized to learners' needs, linked to practice, and lifelong and continuous learning to contribute to the 17 SDGs. Phase 1 (2022-2025): Training global citizens, step-by-step empowering learners to act for sustainable development. In this phase, UEH will focus on doing this in three main groups: training programs, training methods and learning methods, specific as follows: (1) Training programs - Training programs and products need to be adjusted comprehensively with the criteria of ‘signals, needs of society and community’, ‘global quality, international standards’ as the foundation; - Strengthening and approaching towards 100% of programs and subjects taught in English in accordance with learners' needs, increasing foreign learners (in both developing and developed countries) to participate in learning and integrating new subjects in accordance with the development trend of the world by 2025; - Integrating principles of sustainable development to meet the 17 SDGs into existing training programs and subjects, especially needing to be linked with the output standards of the program and of the subject for both long-term programs term and short-term programs at all levels; - Proposing new subjects on sustainable development into existing curricula of all levels and systems in order to promote new initiatives to address local and global issues from a sustainability perspective; - Strengthening short-term and long-term international joint programs to help learners become global citizens through cultural and academic exchanges; - Enhancing programs that are internationally accredited and certified by world-renowned professional associations, especially those with sustainable development orientations; - Developing multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, bilateral-disciplinary programs in UEH and outside UEH, especially with international programs, creating favorable conditions for forming teaching capacity and general knowledge for students. form a global, diverse and inclusive perspective; - Initially encouraging the development and implementation of extracurricular programs from awareness, attitude, behavior and so on regarding sustainable development of lecturers and students to the community; - Enhancing seminars on interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, cross-cultural issues, local challenges affecting cities, regions and countries, impacting the whole world or vice versa so as to foster understanding and engage learners into action for change. (2)  Training methods - Flexible learning environment: anytime, anywhere, open learning resources, diverse learning tools; - Diversifying training methods to focus on learners, gradually empower learners to practice/apply practice, research and supplement interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in lecture content, required essays. project, project or examinations and more; - Focusing on practical experiences through teamwork, field trips, projects, implementing real projects (Live-Case), problem solving projects/plans, scientific research or business orders, local and global, student activities and community projects; - Increasing the application of technology in teaching, research, projects, projects, seminars and academic exchanges listed as e-learning, blended learning, hybrid learning and so on. - Lecturers constantly self-study to improve their qualifications and expertise associated with sustainable development; having the opportunity to participate in extracurricular teaching, seminars, projects, research to meet the 17 SDGs; - Increasingly inviting domestic and foreign lecturers and experts to participate in teaching theoretical, practical, projects, seminars and more on a global and sustainable perspective; - It is a must to have the cooperation from all lecturers, to ensure multi-faceted topics, diversifying methods and resources; - Training lecturers to develop programs, subjects, outlines and output standards in line with the sustainability goals that UEH is aiming for. (3)   Studying methods - Actively learning about the school's global citizenship training orientation, proactively setting goals and drawing up an appropriate study plan; - Practicing critical thinking, debating with creative and effective presentation forms in classes and extra-curricular activities; - Actively learning, consulting with teachers, self-studying and increasing the application of technology in learning and research; - Participating in scientific research, practical projects/projects, practical competitions increasing the opportunity to apply knowledge in practice with practical experience and forming in-depth research capacity from being UEH students; - Actively participating in Union/Association activities to expand connections and to form systematic thinking, critical thinking, strategic action capacity, interpersonal capacity, mobilizing community resources, working together for a common goal towards a more sustainable world, to be ready to be the leader of changes; Beneficiaries and impacts on sustainable University include not only UEH learners, faculty and employees but also alumni, businesses and local communities. UEH needs to continue to encourage alumni to participate in online courses and seminars to improve their professional qualifications and skills for work or to develop strategies to attract joint partners in training - research so as to create a sustainable UEHer community along with diverse opportunities to improve position and reputation in the industry towards the implementation of 17SDGs and so on. In addition to training programs creating the main course, UEH continues to carry out its social responsibility listed as providing free and widely available online/in-person courses to all audiences in the community to play a part in encouraging continuous learning and lifetime for all subjects. Phase 2 (2026-2030): Empowering learners to take the initiative to act sustainably UEH does understand that Education is to “Empower learners to take the initiative to act sustainably” does not stop at formal training; rather, this needs to be combined with continuous, lifelong training and training for all generations in the community, providing learners with important opportunities to engage them with everyday reality, motivating them to take the necessary sustainability actions. It is important for teachers and learners to have space to experiment with new “breakthrough” ideas, which can facilitate critical perspectives to come into play because the fundamental changes needed for a sustainable future start with individuals through changing their behaviors, attitudes and lifestyle choices under the influence of environmental factors and surrounding community (UNESCO. 2019). To sum up, “Empowering learners to take the initiative to act sustainably” not only provides learners with the necessary professional knowledge and skills as well as confidence to develop in any environment, every country in the world but also proactively empowers them to come up with creative ideas and act responsibly in study, work and life, proactively facing future challenges with the ability to inspire and to lead the community around joining hands to practice sustainable lifestyle. Therefore, in this phase, in addition to continuing to develop all the training and learning programs and methods mentioned in the previous stage, all training programs and methods in this period need to be flexibly designed and adjusted to meet the requirements of learning, understanding and solving problems and challenges in society in a creative and efficient way towards meeting the 17SDGs of each group or individual student. What is more, UEH will actively empower students to support the local community to meet the 17SDGs through discovery, transmission, research and assessment of all local and global issues in all angles. UEH organizes a “Sustainability Day” or empowers students to organize and coordinate meetings with local people with the participation of innovative organizations in the city to address sustainability challenges of the city businesses, state management agencies or the community. We have always understood that Training, scientific research, development consulting will decide the future of UEH. With the right commitment and goals established, UEHers and learners are united in our determination to implement the goal of ‘Training global citizens - Sustainable action’ in order to build a solid foundation, completing the Restructuring Strategy of UEH Multidisciplinary-Sustainable University with an academic reputation in the Asia region and the world./.

To successfully implement the digital transformation of the economy and towards building a smart city, proper identification of the roles of the participants is a prerequisite. In Vietnam, the fact that the leadership, direction and management role of the Party and State in the digital transformation is irreplaceable has been reflected in strategies, policies, decrees and action plans. Specifically, the Politburo issued Resolution 52-NQ/TW on a number of guidelines and policies of Vietnam in participating in Industry 4.0 (Nguyen, 2019). The resolution clearly shows a positive view in renewing thinking, unifying awareness, strengthening the leadership role of the Party and the management of the State. This is the premise for the birth of the National Digital Transformation Program with the goal of developing digital government, digital economy, digital society and forming digital technology businesses (TechPort, 2018). From this Program in combination with the Project of Building Ho Chi Minh City into a Smart City (University, 2019), the Digital Transformation Program has been announced by the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring the mindset of accepting new things and factors. Institutions, awareness and policies are totally important besides technology (TopDev, 2020). In addition to the role of the Party and the State, businesses operating in the field of information technology (IT) are identified as playing a central role in leading and creating breakthroughs in design and supply as well as providing a digital platform to serve the needs of digital transformation. In Ho Chi Minh City, digital enterprises account for about 3% of the total number of businesses operating in the city; in innovative start-ups, up to 70% of enterprises are in the IT field; Labor productivity in the IT sector is 1.96% higher than that of the city's overall labor productivity, contributing 4.44% to the city's domestic product (Pwc, 2018). According to Directive No. 01/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on promoting the digital technology enterprise development in Vietnam, by 2030, Vietnam needs at least 100,000 digital technology enterprises to carry out the digital transformation mission, digital economy development, smart city building and sustainable development (Grajek, 2020). The role of higher education institutions In addition to the Party - State and business entities mentioned above, higher education institutions are important actors in the innovation ecosystem, digital transformation of the economy and towards building a smart city. According to Resolution 52-NQ/TW on a number of undertakings and policies of Vietnam in participating in Industry 4.0 (Nguyen, 2019), the national innovation system is developed in the direction of enterprise-centered Centers, universities and research institutes are strong research subjects. In the National Digital Transformation Program (TechPort, 2018), the role of higher education institutions only stops at education and training and provides high-quality human resources according to occupations associated with digital technology and proactive human resources on demand. High-knowledge resources are concentrated in universities and research institutes. Currently, these highly knowledgeable resources are taking on the role of research, implementation and consulting in various projects in the field of digital transformation, smart city development with the position of experts, implementation and so on but mainly is as an individual. The advisory and decision-supporting role of universities and research institutes has not been adequately addressed. Not many projects, actual research has the participation of representatives from schools, research institutes or brought back to universities and research institutes to implement in conjunction with stakeholders. Many prestigious universities and research institutes have established professional councils that can fully undertake consulting on related projects. The absence of representatives of universities and research institutes in specialized fields in consulting and decision-making of development strategies and project implementation will reduce the integration between science and reality as well as affect the effectiveness of the project. Besides, data collection mostly only serves for each specific research need, project or activity carried out in each individual enterprise, organization or unit. If necessary, it will be necessary to carry out the work of seeking, “ask” and “give” in each context. The integration, management and use of common data to serve research projects to solve urban or community problems have not been formalized and are truly open to sharing. If the database continues to collect and store a single, low-accessibility as it is today, it will be difficult to have timely analysis, plans, forecasts and decision-making to meet the development requirements that are growing fast and high in the digital era. Moreover, the researches of universities and research institutes are carried out from highly intellectual human resources; therefore, they need to be utilized to have effective solutions for the society and as the social responsibility that the universities and research institutes are currently doing. It is necessary to have a large and integrated source of data to share for research in the system of universities/research institutes in each field. CSIRO, 2019 has pointed out four components and roles of parties when participating in the digital economy, including businesses, individuals, policy makers, innovation actors (universities and research institutes). However, the role of universities and research institutes in Vietnam in the digital transformation process has only focused on creating innovations for the digital economy, training and fostering talents, and increasing the number of students. strengthen cooperation and create an innovation community as a driving force for the economy. The role of participation as a representative in consulting, research and decision-making like developed countries has not been mentioned and does not seem to be completely concerned at present. Components participating in the digital economy (CSIRO, 2019) Quite a few universities in Vietnam have begun to accelerate the process of digital transformation in education to realize the goal of educating and training high-quality human resources in occupations associated with digital technology and key human resources. moving in the digital age. Hanoi University of Science and Technology also has a digital transformation strategy and identifies 4 main technology platforms including Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things to restructure services and products, creating a breakthrough in the higher education experience environment; at the same time, optimizing the current system and process (Hanh, 2020). As part of the digital transformation strategy to add value to the community, towards a smart and sustainable city, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has focused on building digital transformation in infrastructure, education and so on. Typically developing a smart library with integration in management - service - experience - smart infrastructure to personalize library user experience: this library serves not only pupils, students, doctoral students but also the community (UEH, 2020). A limited number of universities have started multidisciplinary integration activities, developed in research to solve urban problems, being ready to participate in consulting, implementing digital transformation projects, smart cities with as a participant as development models in countries around the world. For example, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) established an innovation institute, an institute of smart cities and management and so on pioneering in developing incubators for startups, providing knowledge. on innovation, creativity, and development of the smart city studio-lab system and so on in order to cooperate with stakeholders to solve urban problems in the direction of smart city development and sustainability, being ready to perform the role new digital era and following the general development trend of the world. UEH Institute of Smart Cities and Management (ISCM) applying VR virtual reality in UEH events Proposing solutions towards smart cities in Vietnam The role of providing high-quality and practical human resources Through the above analysis, it can be recognized that the Industrial Revolution 4.0 creates a strong change in the labor structure; thereby, having a strong impact on education and training of human resources. Ordinary occupations will be gradually replaced while new jobs will arise; however, totally high requirements will be placed on labor qualifications with diverse new and more complex skills with more rapid changes. Therefore, human resource training is facing the heavy pressure of change. For a university, two products of human resource training in the digital era are employees and experts. Outputs are employees: in addition to being equipped with professional knowledge, they need to be fully equipped with necessary digital skills to adapt to Industrial Revolution 4.0. Basically, these digital skills include skills in using computers and the Internet in addition to self-study skills to improve daily digital skills, to avoid falling behind in the digital age. Studies also show that inequality in digital access (digital inequality) will deepen social inequality. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure digital access to necessary digital skills for everyone, especially for a country with different conditions for accessing technology in different regions, especially limitations in the highlands and deep regions. The primary product is experts, who are pioneers in the study of new knowledge, skills, and technologies, as inputs to research and development roles. The role of Research and development (R&D) role Currently, research and development has been strongly developed in universities, especially universities associated with academic research. However, this activity mostly stops at a few individual experts in the fields. In the process of digital transformation, together with governments, businesses, individuals and universities can promote their role as a continuous research and development center towards improving efficiency and reducing production costs in terms of the organization, not only at the individual experts under the university. To fulfill this role, it is necessary to have financial support from domestic and foreign units that need to solve problems for their units or solve urban problems. Build a living lab system like that of developed countries. The role of consultant and participation in the decision-making team In addition to university-affiliated research and development centers, simulation labs and living labs are becoming increasingly common at universities. This is the place to help policy makers and decision-makers make informed decisions and minimize risks. In addition, the trend of applying big data in fields listed as transportation, E-government, and healthcare is increasingly popular; nevertheless, this trend is only confined to specialized units in each field, without the connection between sectors together to create a whole national data, is the core foundation for effective decision making. More than anyone else, the university can now be a place to store, integrate, exploit and use the national data warehouse, serving research and development (R&D) and providing information towards the authorities’ decision making. The role of connecting and promoting generations’ participation One of the factors that determines the success of the digital transformation process in an economy is the understanding and the participation of all generations and classes in one society. With the advantage of being an educational institution, not for commercial purposes, universities play a reasonable role in connecting generations (pupils, students, graduate students, alumni and so on) to participate in this process. In order to successfully and effectively implement the digital transformation of the economy as well as develop smart cities in Vietnam, it is necessary to integrate industries, fields, stakeholders, levels, sectors and the role of universities and research institutes beyond educational mission in research, consultation and decision support should be strengthened.

The role of universities and research institutes is implemented in not only education, teaching, transfer or the creation of new knowledge, independent researches but also multidisciplinary integrated research activities to propose new ideas. Practical solutions, consulting and participation in the decision-making process as well as proposing and implementing policies, projects and implementation processes to solve urban problems have brought a lot of success. for digital transformation as well as smart city development in many countries around the world. The authors also propose four groups of activities to enhance the role of universities and research institutes as follows: (1) providing high-quality human resources in line with digital transformation practices; (2) research and development (R&D); (3) consulting and participating in decision-making teams; (4) connecting and promoting the participation of generations. The outbreak of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Making full use of the power of Industry 4.0 to carry out digital transformation of the national economy towards building smart cities is a strong development trend worldwide. Smart city development refers to the development of smartness in all fields listed as data, healthcare, economy/business, agriculture, industry, transport, energy, environment, education and so on (CSIRO, 2019). The Industrial Revolution 4.0 (Industry 4.0) with the application of modern technologies listed as: cloud computing (Cloud Computing), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data (Big Data) has opened up opportunities for developing the digital economy for countries around the world (Schwab, 2017). As defined by Oxford Digital Economy Collaboration, a digital economy is ‘an economy that operates primarily on digital technologies, especially electronic transactions conducted via the Internet’. In Vietnam, IT is the fastest growing industry (CSIRO, 2019). Vietnam ranks No. 1 globally in the outsourced software services industry, 1st in the mobile application economy index among the 6 most developed countries in ASEAN (TechPort, 2018). Of the approximately 97 million people in Vietnam (2019), 64 million of them use the Internet, an increase of 28% compared to theat of 2017. Among these 64 million users, the number of people accessing the Internet via mobile devices is 61.73 million people, accounting for 96% of internet users (Adsota, 2019). According to data from Department of E-commerce and Information Technology - VECITA (2019), Vietnamese E-commerce market grows by 35% per year, 2.5 times faster than that of Japan. In accordance with Southeast Asian Economy report (2019), the growth rate in digital transformation of the economy in Vietnam is leading in the region and contributes 5% of the national GDP, 4 times higher than the annual value in 2015 and is expected to be nearly four times as high by 2025. The city sets a target of a digital economy accounting for 25% of GRDP by 2025 and 40% by 2030 (TopDev, 2020). Particularly in terms of education field, digital transformation is currently concentrating on two main contents: digital transformation in educational management and digital transformation in teaching, learning, testing, assessment and scientific research. Education management includes digitizing management information, creating interconnected large database systems, deploying online public services, applying 4.0 Technologies (AI, blockchain, data analysis and so on) in order to manage, operate, forecast, support decision making in the education and training industry quickly and accurately. In teaching, learning, testing and evaluation, including digital chemistry materials (e-textbooks, electronic lectures, e-learning lecture warehouses, multiple-choice question banks), digital libraries, virtual laboratories, deploying an online training system, building virtual universities (cyber universities). However, the current digital transformation of the education and training sector are facing immerse difficulties and problems that need to be further overcome and completed, especially as follows: non-synchronous investment in infrastructure among regions; lack of finance to digitize and to build digital learning materials; no legal regulations to develop online education platforms and digital learning materials. University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City – One of the educational institutions applying comprehensive digital transformation towards Smart University It is obvious that the strong development of the digital transformation of the economy in Vietnam has been bringing a lot of benefits and contributions to the development of smart cities. In addition, education is also an element that is focused to develop ‘digitization’ and ‘smarter’; nevertheless, the current focus and development is being only the inner development of the education field to update with current development trends, rather than the ability to integrate or other activities to contribute to digital transformation or smart city development as existing capacity. Lessons learned from countries around the world The role of universities and research institutes in the digital transformation of the economy and smart city development With the purpose of preparing for the digital economy since 1998, universities in the European Union have played the role of providing technology-savvy human resources with advanced educational technologies to the region. By means of distance learning and teaching, these schools have spread knowledge to classes that have few opportunities to study regularly like workers, housewives and those who cannot study properly at the right time (Ditchburn, 1998). With the researching goal on the role of Bio-Medico University (Italy) in smart city projects, Machine Science Journal, conducting a research survey on 20 different smart city projects in 2019, concluded that university acts as a knowledge intermediary, knowledge holder, knowledge provider and knowledge evaluator (Vertical News, 2019). Researches on the role of universities upon building and developing innovation ecosystems by Markkula and Kune (Markkula & Kune, 2015) pointed out that the current universities have changed the way they operate as active agents towards improving the quality of community life, contributing a lot of value to the development process of the local, regional and national, spreading and maintaining knowledge in the innovation ecosystem. Actually, most European universities play an important role in the transmission of knowledge, academic resources, co-creation and innovation. Specifically, Aalto University, University of Helsinki, VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, Laurea University of Applied Sciences and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences have actively participated in the development of the Bright Garden towards creating Espoo in Helsinki with the main roles of transmitting knowledge, researching and discovering new knowledge and developing community activities with the participation of many sectors of society. These main roles are demonstrated through 5 specific activities as follows: Connection: Connecting generations (high school students, university students, graduate students, alumni); connecting people and processes (calling, engaging people to actively participate and to contribute to social processes); connecting knowledge and processes (connecting knowledge, theory, academia to practical processes); bringing the stakeholders in the ecosystem closer together. The leading Spanish educational group CEU (Central European University) including 3 major universities as follows: CEU San Pablo (in Madrid), CEU Cardenal Herrera (Valencia) and Abat Oliba CEU (Barcelona) have identified the role of promoting innovation, research and entrepreneurship in the transformation of the national economy. CED has established and developed centers, research and innovation institutes as part of the knowledge economy and is committed to leading the way in digital transformation applied within CEU itself. In the digital era, CEU determines that new technology and automation will create many new positions in the coming years, and businesses and organizations in the private sector will have great demand, this is a great opportunity for training units, to accompany businesses in change management, especially in terms of human resources. Therefore, in the operation strategy of the corporation and each school in the system, CEU focuses on cooperating and finding opportunities based on the relationship between 3 parties including: private sector and state administrative agencies, universities. In 2019, CEU launched dual degree and postgraduate degree programs for a group of disciplines suitable for the digital era listed as: digital communication, biotechnology, biomedical engineering or data protection. From the reality and the successes in countries around the world, universities and research institutes have become an integral part of the digital transformation process in the local and national economies and smart urban development. In which, the outstanding roles will include: knowledge role - being the center of nurturing, spreading knowledge to the community, providing digital human resources; roles in research and development (R&D), innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship; intergenerational, predictive and advisory roles for decision-making. Digital transformation at universities and research institutes around the world To meet the role in the digital transformation process in the local and national economy and smart city development, universities and research institutes in countries around the world have made changes and been developed as a strong participant in internal digital transformation and increase integration in teaching - research - project implementation to join hands with stakeholders to solve urban problems towards Sustainable Development. In accordance with EduCause (Grajek, 2020), the research on the argument regarding transfer process at universities around the world by 2020 indicates that 13% of colleges and universities are engaged in digital transformation, 32% are developing a digital transformation strategy and 38% of other higher education institutions are exploring digital transformation, only 17% of educational institutions do not have time to enter the process. This shows that higher education is, indeed, driving digital transformation; in reverse, digital transformation with a series of sweeping changes to the workforce, culture and technology has the ability to create new educational models, concurrently, transforming the strategic orientation and development values ​​of an educational institution. Understanding the role of universities in the nation's digital transformation can help higher education institutions develop a comprehensive and holistic digital transformation strategy. The research on the digital transformation process at the university system in Ukraine in the context of the digital transformation of Ukraine (Kaminsky, Yereshko, & Kyrychenko, 2018) has revealed the information technology architecture of a university. Modern technology should be deployed on the basis of cloud technology; thereby, providing training services, scientific research, increasing digital capacity and navigating educational activities towards learners’ personalized way. Blockchain technology for cloud-based content management by integrating training content modules of different Ukrainian universities, creating a unified, quality, secure and training program transparency. This system is expected to achieve the benefits of timely knowledge exchange and update for the community as a foundation for the knowledge economy, including mutual content exchange, new content development and so on, forming an ecosystem of lecturers, learners, scientists, universities: Similar to sharing platforms, stakeholders will come together to share knowledge within the framework of a common platform based on cloud while retaining the identity, the brand and ensuring financial viability. Since 2015, at the University of Manchester, UK, living labs have been established to identify issues related to sustainable development and support decision-making of stakeholders involved in the sustainable urban development process. Living Lab is a place to connect businesses, governments, scientists to research and test issues in sustainable development, support decision making (Evans, Jones, Karvonen, Millard, & Wendler, 2015). The subsequent research by the authors at the University of Québec à Trois-Rivières (France) (Thang, Manh, & Ayayi, 2018) proved that the Living lab will help promote digital entrepreneurship (Promoting Digital Entrepreneurship Process Living Lab).

In Vietnam, the process of transforming teaching methods has also taken place drastically in educational institutions, including the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). In that wave of innovation in teaching methods, blended learning, currently, is considered an optimal method and brings the highest teaching effectiveness with a synchronous combination of teaching models (face-to-face and online), providing learners with effective and wonderful learning experiences. Nevertheless, it must be stated that the conversion from teaching methods to Blended Learning methods requires a process of serious research, careful preparation and intensive investment in various aspects by building learning materials. Multimedia in this method is mandatory, obvious and indispensable. Moreover, please be aware that the characteristic of Blended Learning is the combination of traditional learning methods and online learning; therefore, it is necessary to have an arrangement and division from content to subject duration in order to help students learn more effectively. These two methods can complement in the form of synchronous and asynchronous and maximize learning effectiveness.’ At UEH, although Blended Learning has not been completely implemented in training programs, since 2016, the option towards the course duration comprising 30% online and 70% offline has been applied through teaching in collaboration with Learning Management System (LMS). Following this direction, UEH has piloted the compilation of a number of subjects in accordance with Blended Learning method from mid-2021. In order to make this transition to Blended Learning to be effective, it is necessary to comply with some certain requirements as follows: Activating learners’ learning activities Introducing the principle of active learning means the process of organizing and leading for learners to learn knowledge on their own; concurrently, creating conditions and opportunities for learners to discover and solve problems on the basis of self-discipline and initiative. This principle is characterized by three basic ideological aspects as follows: First, promoting humanity in education through acknowledging and respecting the individuality, goals, interests and individuality of learners. Second, promoting learners' dynamism through promoting learners' participation in self-awareness, self-development, self-realization, self-examination and assessment activities so that learners can finally get a foundation in creative thinking, training learners to think independently. Third, improving teachers/lecturers’ guiding and leading role in stimulating and facilitating the potential development of each student besides concretizing the tasks of designing, coordinating and formalizing training programs and so on. Taking advantage of online learning combined with face-to-face learning to build a program with equivalent output standards Online learning is a form of learning with many significant advantages as follows: saving time and costs to personalizing the route, learning goals as well as mastering the learning pace. It can be asserted that this model has only one drawback, which is not high interactivity. However, the disadvantage of online learning implies the advantage of face-to-face learning as well as the characteristic and advantage of the combined training method. Therefore, towards the effectiveness of this conversion process, it is necessary to uphold the principle of taking advantage of online learning combined with face-to-face learning, aiming for a training program in a combination with equivalent output standards. Classes in the form of face-to-face combined online format at UEH Combining learning activities with appropriate assessment methods Evaluating student results is an indispensable step in the training program development process because result assessment shows not only learners’ capacity but also the performance of teachers and teaching methods. Therefore, it is necessary to build on the principle of combining learning activities with appropriate assessment methods to be able to both deploy and control the implementation process. In terms of teachers’/lecturers’ activities It is crucial to develop scenarios for online activities for students: To prepare content to put into LMS system listed as: detailed course outline, books (textbook), reference materials (book, audio, video and so on), slides/lectures in accordance with E-learning standards and the system of online assessment exercises; To define and design the entire course content in the LMS environment as well as all exchange activities, online lectures, online monitoring of students' activities, grading - feedback to students, statistics - evaluation of student activities. Whether the learning method is direct (Face-to-Face), indirect (eLearning) or coordinated (Blended), the method of knowledge transmission must be designed in accordance with its nature. In other words, in terms of direct method, teachers and learners are required to be present at the lecture hall at all sessions; in terms of indirect method, learners can be anywhere and at any time with the support of electronic devices (desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones and so on) with Internet connection; in terms of coordinated method, teachers and learners will have face-to-face sessions and online lessons based on the design of the course outline. Therefore, the Hybrid teaching method that UEH has applied in the first three weeks of the 1st semester of 2022 is Blended. The answer is NO as it simply aims to adapt to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in many localities, both to meet the teaching-and-learning conditions of students, lecturers and teachers in the most flexible and appropriate way. Accordingly, lecturers will come to the classroom to teach with the support of smart teaching devices and learners can choose to study in class or learn remotely depending on their needs and satisfying the following personal health requirements that UEH requires upon learners’ coming to class with their teacher. In other words, hybrid is just the way we teach-and-learn at home or in the classroom. It is not a blended learning method as described above. It can be stated that the fact that UEH has decided to introduce this method in the current conditions is completely appropriate and has received a lot of positive feedback from both lecturers and students. “I am very happy because more than 20% of the students of my class come to study directly, everyone was very excited; at the beginning of the lesson, they shared that they also wanted to go to school offline again. Most of the students at home also confirmed that after Tet, they will return to study directly. In terms of facilities, everything is very comfortable, both lecturers and students adapt quickly. In terms of safety, as soon as we arrived at school, everyone had to declare and have their temperature measured. Students are advised to practice distance in the classroom. I myself felt rather safe and secure.” – Ms. Hoang Thi My Duyen, a Lecturer of UEH Faculty of International Business - Marketing shared her personal opinion. “I feel very happy to be able to go back to school directly, after about 3-4 months of vacation, we can interact directly again. Entering the school also feels safe because everyone has been vaccinated with their temperature checked and access control is thorough." is what Hồ Việt Minh Trí, a student of Course 45 of CQU stated his viewpoint. Sharing the same eagerness to return to school, Liên Nhật Nam, a student of Class 46 of CQU, revealed that: “I am totally happy to be back to face-to-face learning and seeing my friends again. Besides, I personally find that face-to-face learning makes me more interested in learning and interacting with teachers and students in the class. I think this semester with face-to-face learning will help me get better results compare to that of the online semester." Students studying Physical Education in Hybrid Class Form at UEH – Vinh Long Branch Teaching and learning in this 4.0 Revolution era requires training institutions, teachers, learners and support departments to have many changes to adapt. In this context, applying information technology to online training becomes an inevitable part of training activities. Domestic and international competitive pressure in education is also increasingly strong and drastic. Higher education has been, is, and will be profoundly changed in various aspects like the educational environment, the role of the teacher, the responsibility of the learner to the subject approach and so on. Since then, it is essential for education to become an ecosystem where everyone can learn together anytime, anywhere with connected devices.

Our manufacturing, consuming, and discharging systems became unstable. In addition to reducing the amount of garbage generated and reusing available materials, recycling is a method to reconstruct the natural resources that limits minimally exploiting raw materials. Currently, UEH Zero Waste Campus Project would like to bring to readers several pieces of information regarding Recycle, the final “R” in the 3R Model with a desire to help you understand inclusively recycling activities to join hands to protect the environment, to conserve the natural resources, and to maintain the green and zero-waste lifestyle. The role of Recycle Recycling is the process of separating, collecting, and reproducing or transforming used products or waste into new materials, Recycling help last the longevity and usefulness of objects by returning them to raw materials and then using them to manufacture new objects with new functions. This is a part of three golden principles of sustainability (Reduce, reuse, and recycle) having lots of benefits for human beings and the environment. Most of the Planet is affected by the scale of recycling we make. Why is recycling important? Because recycling avoids pollution, reduces the demand for collecting raw material, saves energy, decreases the emission of greenhouse gases, saves finance, cuts the garbage buried in dumps. Aiming to a sustainable society, recycling needs to play the core role. Recycling steps Recycling includes three essential steps, generating a continuous circulation, represented by a familiar symbol. Classifying and gathering reusable waste. Recycling needs conducting throughout manufacturing activities with distinctly modern machines; therefore, home recycling is still limited. The most effective and simplest way is that each individual classifies their garbage radically, separates them from recycled waste, and delivers them to garbage-unifying or recycled units. Besides, some activities can be conducted at home similar to composting leftovers to make fertilizers for plants. After gathering, recycled waste is sent to resources-management areas. They are classified, cleaned, and processed into products used in production. There are lots of objects produced after recycling these days. Common household objects that are recyclable include: Recycled waste, after that, are being bought and sold as raw materials, and the prices are increased or decreased based on supply and demand. You can help minimize the circulation by buying new products made of recycled materials. There are thousands of recycled materials. When you go shopping, you can find the following products: Several recyclable products that you may not know: You can reduce leftovers by buying only what you absolutely need and eat them completely. Composting is an environmental-friendly food-waste processing method.

Technology platforms help connect consumers with suppliers of goods and services as well as promoting better asset utilization and increasing economic resource utilization. The new economic model, certainly, threatens the interests and survival of businesses in the traditional economic model. This requires legislators and state managers to go hand-in-hand with platform businesses, owners of shared resources and users of resources to limit unexpected effects; concurrently, promoting benefits of the sharing economic model contributing to Vietnamese socio-economic development in the context of Industrial revolution 4.0. Operation principles of the sharing economy The sharing economy model is the activities of sharing and exchanging unused or underutilized resources through a digital platform. Digital technology helps to connect the need to share idle resources and the need to use those resources accurately, efficiently and quickly at low cost. The technology platform will process information, connecting resource providers with resource users (Hagiu & Wright, 2020). Different from the traditional economic model with the pillars of input, production technology and products, the sharing economy model operates on the main pillars of multi-dimensional foundation, network effects and construction. trust (Øverby & Audestad, 2018). The multi-dimensional platform allows direct interaction between two or more different user groups. The most important feature of a multi-dimensional platform is the creation of the direct interaction between groups of users. The network effect is the effect by which the number of users affects the value or utility arising from that good or service. The platform creates a network effect: the more partners are involved, the more value it creates for the entire sharing economy model. The technology platform builds trust by creating digital identity verification systems, scoring service quality to create reputation points for service providers and users. Types of sharing economy Common types of sharing economy include (Sundararajan, 2016): (1) Owned asset lease. The technology platform creates a market for providing services based on the available assets of the supplier; (2) Professional service provision. A technology platform that allows skilled individuals working in a traditional organization to become a separate service provider through technology to connect with potential customers; (3) Freelance worker provision. The technology platform creates a new market for freelance workers by connecting many labor providers with employers, accompanied by a system to evaluate the performance of the parties; (4) Direct peer-to-peer sales of goods. A marketplace-creating technology platform that allows sellers to sell goods directly to consumers. The sharing economy model increases the productivity of assets, increases demand and expands consumption and promotes innovation at the individual level. The sharing economy model eliminates or reduces barriers to market entry, listed as: investment of production resources, complex distribution networks; therefore, allowing many individual individuals to start a business to enter the market from its available resources. The sharing economy also helps promote sustainable resource use (Dabbous & Tarhini, 2021). The sharing economy model is increasingly contributing to Vietnamese socio-economic development in the context of the strong Industrial Revolution 4.0 (Photo source: Collection) The practical sharing economy model in Vietnam The sharing economy model in Vietnam has not well developed yet; nevertheless, it has a lot of potential for development (OECD, 2020). Business model of sharing economy in Vietnam, currently, is rather diverse. Of the 15 popular service areas in the world with a sharing economy model, 12 areas have appeared in Vietnam, in which the focus is towards four areas: (1) Passenger transportation with vehicle sharing. transportation like Grab, Be or Gojek, (2) Travel with accommodation services like Airbnb or Luxstay, (3) Finance with peer-to-peer lending services like Fiin.vn or Tima platforms, and (4) Lao Work with a skill-sharing service, labor force or a co-working space like bTaskee or Designcrowd. The operation practice of the sharing economy model in Vietnam raises a number of management issues, listed as: (1) Business conditions and market competition. The market entry regulations and business conditions of the sharing economy model are stated to be lower than those in the traditional economic model, leading to accusations of unfair competition; (2) Tax administration with the sharing economy model is not effective because the legal regulations have not clearly defined the business model; (3) Protecting customers’ interests is also an issue that needs to be resolved because there is no specific management regulation; (4) Workers' rights in the sharing economy model is an important issue that requires state intervention; and (5) Issues of users’ information security. The system of sharing economy enterprises in Vietnam (Source: Compiled by the author) Policy recommendations for the management of the sharing economy in Vietnam First: promulgating regulations on market entry. State management agencies issue licenses that act as a prerequisite for market entry. Permits can include general, basic requirements, and local permits can add specific requirements. Second: stipulating the contractual relationship for the sharing economic model. Stipulating the legal position with resource owners in the sharing economy model cannot be rigid and unilinear. Regulation development can consider the following factors: (1) Regulations need to be consistent with the characteristics of resources, whether physical assets or labor; (2) In order to decide which entities in the sharing economy need an employment contract, it is necessary to obtain information on the degree of economic dependence of that object on the technology-based enterprise; (3) The regulatory agency needs to determine the threshold level for economic dependence. This threshold level is the foundation for determining the signing of an employment contract; (4) Central government agencies should only set general principles. The local governing body sets out specific regulations. You can refer to Zhang (2019) about the experience of managing the sharing economy model in other countries, especially China. Third: improving tax policy. In order to have an effective tax policy for the sharing economy model, the first key point must be to determine the business type of the sharing economy model. Fourth: regulations to protect consumer interests and protect personal information. The state needs to amend its consumer protection law to update the impact of the new economic model. Data privacy regulation must strike a balance between enabling innovation in the sharing economy and protecting personal data. The inevitable development trend of the sharing economy model requires open and flexible legislative thinking, creating a level playing field, encouraging innovation and competition of Vietnamese enterprises in the international market. This requires legislators and state management to accompany the platform enterprise, the owner of the shared resources as well as the user of the resources.

The digital transformation method has disrupted and reshaped the mainstream business model of enterprises, especially the tourism sector, the industry that has been most affected and damaged and forced to make great changes, creating diverse tourism products and increasing online experiences to survive the current situation. An analysis of the opportunities and challenges of digitalization in tourism sector by Dredge et al. (2018) reveals important transformations of travel product and service business, requiring new thinking for the travel industry along with the development of new products, business methods, ecosystems and new approaches to support and build competitiveness for businesses. Digital transformation - A good opportunity for tourism industry The strong development of information and communication technology related to activities, listed as booking, ticketing and selling tours online, has created a revolution in toursim field. Digital transformation has been providing and will bring enormous benefits to businesses, by creating opportunities for travel product providers to reach online users in the most effective way. To boost revenue by retaining loyal customers and attracting new customers, OTAs (Online Travel Agents) applications are always looking for ways to enhance the online experience for network users; therefore, helping users interact more easily online and find the right travel products as well as retain and increase customer return, ultimately, creating engagement and loyalty. In this article, the author identifies important factors affecting the online journey of visitors listed as năng utilitarian values, hedonic values (Bilgihan, 2012), accessibility to online business form (web skills of an individual (Novak & Hoffman, 1997) and the reliability of e-payment systems (e-payment systems) (Zhou, 2014). In addition to collecting secondary information from previous research data to identify factors, this article also proposes solutions with specific roles of stakeholders (departments, enterprises and stakeholders, visitors) in order to optimize the online experiences of users; therefore, bringing mutual benefits to the tourism ecosystem. Diverse online payment methods in Vietnam (Source: Vietnam Insider) Solution model to improve online customer experience in current travel industry The trend of digitalization is happening at breakneck speed and becoming both an opportunity and a challenge for any business that aims to survive in the volatile tourism market. In addition, the heavy damage that the tourism industry is experiencing due to the epidemic confirms that businesses and stakeholders need to seriously review the current business model and apply the new business method is inevitable. Analyzing the current situation of digital transformation taking place, this article has partly described a picture of the tourism industry in the new era. The author offers 5 main solutions; therefore, defining the role of each stakeholder in the direction of optimizing the online experience route of tourists in a diverse, convenient, friendly and secure digitalized environment as follows: Connectivity: To increase connectivity, the deployment of high-quality broadband infrastructure in locations with a large number of visitors is a top requirement to create a continuous and optimal experience. The close connection between domestic and foreign network providers will create a synergy to create diverse and homogeneous service packages. Technology universalization (Human capital): The ability to universalize technology is the second factor in this solution model. This factor focuses on exploiting human resources by focusing on training and planning for long-term development in the field of technology. This solution aims to erase technology blindness for local people and improve the professional capacity of resources serving in the tourism industry. Frequency uses of Internet: Increased usage indicates that visitors are fully engaged in the experience route and this is stimulated by new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). virtual reality (AR) or geographic information systems (GIS). Adopting virtual reality (VR) and digital tools will enable flexible and engaging travel experiences. Integration of Digital Technology: The addition and integration of new technology and existing technologies create new and constantly changing journeys, stimulating the return of visitors. Digitization of public services (Digital Public service): The government needs to accelerate the process of digitizing public services, creating an open, user-friendly and safe data system for domestic and international tourists. In summary, the solutions proposed above partly show the role of enterprises in the industry, interdisciplinary enterprises, government agencies together with the cooperation of tourists (online users). This network of links will create synergy to help the picture of the entire tourism industry prosper in the coming years.

This Campaign was deployed by Student Communication Group (S Communications) - affiliated to UEH Student Association. During the program, the Campaign has approached more than 100.000 students and 1300 registration forms for challenges, contributing to changing the young’s visions of a green lifestyle, as well as creating opportunities for students to express their ideas and personal perspectives on environmental issues. What has been done at “Zero Waste, Hero You”? In the Covid-19 pandemic time, when the whole world is trying to confront unusual modifications of the Covid–19 pandemic, we probably forget the Earth used to be a green entity dying gradually. Day by day, the safety of the Earth is gaining a red-alert level. For that reason, the Student Communication Group (S Communications) - affiliated with the UEH Student Association conducted the “Zero Waste, Hero You” Campaign. The Campaign opened an ideal space for students to express their perspectives on the green lifestyle, have a more multi-side vision, and independently raise their voice. Through full-time posts, the Campaign has delivered a lot of information and useful knowledge for everybody. The Campaign was opened with the video clip “Khi những điều dễ thương biến mất” (When cute things disappear) lasting for 2 minutes comprehended what will disappear from us if environmental pollution keeps happening. This has contributed to students’ awareness of the alarming consequences of environmental pollution. Subsequently, there were communication posts listed as “Sống xanh dễ dàng không?” (Is green living easy?) calling everyone to live green together, and a 3R clip to provide information about 3R Method (Reduce - Reuse - Recycle) to the young. In more than 3 weeks with a total of 10 posts on UEHenter.com fanpage, the Campaign acquired impressive numbers and has spread widely to students with more than 100.000 approaches in total. These posts provided information about the green lifestyle and called for participation in 2 challenge series on the fanpage, receiving and attracting the extremely enthusiastic support of more than 1300 students. Besides, the spread of the Campaign has also covered other fanpages of the UEH Student Association, approaching the vast majority of the young and contributing to creating motivation for them to act for positive changes in the environment. Comic Challenge & Sharing Day Challenge - Where the young express their personal perspectives With a mission to create a space for students to be able to better approach the green lifestyle and be confident to express their personal perspectives, the 2 challenge series ended successfully and generated positive impacts on conducting participants. Specifically, in addition to encouraging creativity, Comic Challenge supported the young to reveal their personal awareness of rubbish classifications issues through a lively animation format as well. Following was the Sharing Day Challenge - simply a cozy chat but it was a place for students to convey their personal ideas with the perspective: “In the past, Zero Waste emerged as a movement with waves of buying items as follows: water bottles, straw, canvas, and so on. Therefore, some people suppose that green living is only for the young wanting to “boast” and exists in a short time”. With these 2 challenges, the Campaign has brought understanding and connection between the young together to change for a zero-polluted life. Ending the challenge time with the enthusiastic support of students, lots of meaningful messages were created and spread. In Challenge 1, Nguyen Ngoc Y Nhi from the class FB006 dubbed the Trash Bin: “Everybody should be self-conscious instead of blaming for habits”. Additionally, Pham Nguyen Tan Dat from the class HM001 sent a message: “If they are our habits, we will correct them” and more and more voices contributed to impacting everybody’s awareness of bad habits gradually affecting our environment severely. In terms of Challenge 2, students’ exciting discussions and convincing perspectives were raised. Most of them could see that everyone is still superficial with environmental issues, and long-term plans for green living campaigns are relatively limited. For them, affirming “Green living is only for the young wanting to ‘boast” is rather subjective because green living activities are supported by a number of people, including corporates, not just the young. It is creating positive effects on society and the way we maintain “Zero Waste” is not a short-term movement. It is going to spread although it is not as much as the initial time. It is expected that, in the future, we will have more movements towards the environment similar to Zero Waste for us to be capable of joining hands for the environment and our Earth” like how Tran Huyen Tran from the class IN002 shared. Excellent Selected Names! The Campaign ended with many meaningful messages. Student ID Numbers would be updated for each eligible participant, and the 3 best participants would be awarded valuable prizes. These 3 prizes were awarded to: These are absolutely worthy prizes for the enthusiastic participation of their persuasive perspectives. We, who attend the campaign, regardless of prizes, are helpful citizens and we are contributing to making our life and the environment more beautiful. Believe it! Conclusion Although the “Zero Waste, Hero You” Campaign ended, the consequences of environmental pollution are still existing. Therefore, we do hope that everybody does continue the green lifestyle and together change for the green of the Earth. Let’s follow us to be communicators contributing to spreading useful knowledge and positive messages regarding the environment!

Being aware of that, UEH Zero Waste Campus Living Lab has applied 3R Model to waste management. After 2 steps, waste classification and ‘Reduce’ practice, we will together move to ‘Reuse’ - the third R in 3R Model to orientate to zero-waste lifestyle practice. This paper will provide small tips for everybody to carry out ‘Reuse’ from today. UEH Zero Waste Practice - 3R Model ‘Reuse’ is the second R in the 3R Model in waste processing. Reusing one object means that the object will continue being valuable, useful, effective, and a substitute for other objects which may consume more water, energy, wood, oil, and other natural resources during their production. ‘Reuse’ increases their values! ‘Reuse’ is often confused with recycling, but they are actually two other approaches. ‘Reuse’ is prolonging the life of an item, it is conducted by different methods. On the other hand, recycling is transforming an item into a new one. In addition to contributing positively to reducing solid waste, many community reusing programs operated by charity organizations have provided items for disadvantaged people with low income or difficult circumstances. Why is reusing such a crucial issue? It is simply because reusing help reduce waste more effectively than recycling by: ‘Reuse’ in life In our daily lives, diverse interesting ways to reuse products and packaging at home help reduce waste released to the environment. Below are several tips enabling you to practice reusing in your own house: ‘Reuse’ at the workplace In addition to kitchens, the workplace is also a location where rubbish is produced the most. Rubbish comes from plastic lunch boxes, or straws, cups, and spoons of drinking coffee. Why don’t we reuse these objects to decrease released waste and some tips to do it are listed as: ‘Reuse’ at UEH Schools are places generating a large amount of waste, being aware of it, UEH Zero Waste Campus Project applies 3R Model with the aim of reducing released waste. Although the step ‘Reuse’ in 3R is small, it contributes significantly to managing waste. Practicing ‘Reuse’ in the 3R Model helps decrease the relative amount of waste released to the environment. We can conduct these tips at our home, workplace, or schools to contribute to protecting the environment.

The rapid development of technology and the heavy influence of the Covid-19 pandemic made us deeply aware of the importance of digital transformation in the Industry 4.0 era. Daily necessities such as food supply chains, means of transportation, payments and financial transactions, educational activities, government operations, even resource extraction are being increasingly dependent on digital technology. This, however, places us at constant risk of being a target of cybercriminals. The current state of cybercrime Cyber threats have rapidly increased in sophistication over the past few years. According to the FBI's Cybercrime Report, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, cyberattacks have surged by more than 300%, and the cybercriminal’s associated costs have increased by more than 2,400% (WEF, 2020). The tendency is consistent with Google’s research when revealing that the company has prevented more than 18 million phishing attempts by putting Corona's name on malicious files or links (FBI, 2020). Moreover, Cybersecurity Ventures also find that cybercrime associated losses are estimated to exceed $6 trillion in 2021 and $10.5 trillion in 2025, compared with just $3 trillion in 2015. This figure is equivalent to the world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP, only after those of the US and China (Steve Morgan, 2021). Bank and Financial sectors are prime target of cyberattacks The Banking and Financial industry has attracted greater attention from cybercriminals than any other sector. In Keepersecurity's global report on Cybersecurity (2020), nearly 70% of financial institutions have been victims of cyberattacks. According to Insights' cybersecurity report (2021), more than 25% of malware attacks are directed at banks and financial institutions which is relatively more than any other industry. This is most likely from the specificity of the Banking and Financial industry when the business model, and the provision of products and services of the industry are dependent on digital technology. The case of cybersecurity in Vietnamese Digital Banks Vietnam is currently ranked 21st in the world in terms of phishing attacks with 673,743 attacks recorded in 2020. Only Thailand and Indonesia are ahead of Vietnam in terms of cyberattacks in Southeast Asia. According to a survey by the Vietnam Information Security Association, more than 50% of cyberattacks are aimed at banks and financial institutions. According to a report by the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention, Ministry of Public Security, in 2020, banks lost nearly 100 billion Dong from 4,000 cyber-attacks, including a bank suffering loss of up to 44 billion Dong. In recent years, Vietnamese commercial banks have advanced the digital transformation process. The goal of this process is to improve the efficiency of banking operations, increase customer experience, and especially facilitate customers in using modern banking services. However, there are cybersecurity issues that go hand in hand with the digital transformation movement. Typically, the banking data system is breached to steal data or to perform acts that damage the assets of the bank and customers. Attacks targeting banking customers such as defrauding their accounts, impersonating bank employees, or sending fake bank links, and websites impersonating a bank to defraud customers are also becoming more widespread. Therefore, it can be seen that digital banking activities in Vietnam are facing a very high cybersecurity risk because all three actors involved in digital banking activities including banks, partners, and customers are becoming all potential targets for cybercriminals. Cybersecurity plays a key role in the current shift towards digitization in the banking industry Proposed solutions to limit cybersecurity risks in digital banking activities To address these problems, the scholars suggest three categories of solutions centered on Process, Technology, and People. In particular, the Process-related solutions will focus on detailing the steps in cybersecurity risk management together with detailed instructions to help banks identify and assess threats, and thereby having active plans to prevent cybersecurity breaches and especially creating effective incident response plans. Meanwhile, the Technology-related solutions are built on the basis of combining modern cybersecurity tools and techniques. Two technologies, including "Artificial Intelligence" and "Security Orchestration, Automation and Response" are proposed since these are the two types of technology that are appreciated by banks around the world for their effectiveness in technology investment strategies to reduce cybersecurity risks (Accenture Security, 2020). Despite its potential benefits to ensure bank network security, Blockchain should be used with caution. Many reports have recently shown that there are still numerous unknown hazards associated with this technology. For the HR solutions, we suggest a proactive approach to raising awareness and fostering a cybersecurity culture throughout banks. In addition, recommendations to the Government and the State Bank on issues related to the legal corridor and the development of a national cyber security strategy are also focused. The last proposed solution is to limit cybersecurity risks for a comprehensive digital banking model. The construction of a fully digital bank is the path of digital transformation that Vietnamese banks are aiming towards, even though it is not yet permitted in Vietnam. Based on the case of the C6 digital bank in Brazil (Keri Pearlson et al., 2020), we, therefore propose a comprehensive digital banking cybersecurity strategy on the basis of five main groups, such as defense team, technical team, administration team, application security team, and cybersecurity culture team. Furthermore, cybersecurity risks can be also mitigated with the use of a three-layer risk control model. In particular, the first layer is related to operating procedures whereas the middle layer is related to risk control and ensuring compliance with security principles, and the final layer is related to internal control. Cybersecurity is also a major concern for banking customers. We propose some general advice for banking customers to protect themselves against cybercrimes including keeping personal information as safe as possible when using banking services via electronic devices (using anti-virus software, firewalls on network-connected devices), beware of unscrupulous websites, fraudulent emails and messages, even phishing attempts to obtain customers’ personal information through attachments or embedded links), using different, strong passwords for different accounts (personal information should not be used to set as a password). To sum up, cybersecurity risk is one of the vital issues in the digital transformation process of the current Vietnamese banking system. To mitigate this risk, banks must apply synchronized solutions that include top security technologies and the development of an effective cybersecurity risk management process as well as a strategy for fostering a cybersecurity culture.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT), especially computers and Internet, has made the provision of information no longer dependent on time and space. Industry 4.0 also creates challenges for the workforce. In the context of globalization and global workforce growth, the challenges from Industry 4.0 should be addressed through lifelong learning. Within this lifelong learning context, governments of many countries around the world have implemented many educational reform measures to make lifelong learning as part of national education policies with diverse attempts to issue guidelines, actions and policies so as to encourage and support their citizens towards improving personal skills and knowledge through lifelong learning. Along with global development trend, Vietnamese Politburo has affirmed that building a lifelong learning citizen model is an urgent task to be performed to meet Industry 4.0 requirements. In accordance with this task, our Government issues Decision No. 749/QD-TTg dated on June 30th, 2020 and points out that awareness plays a decisive role in digital transformation and Vietnamese residents are at the center of digital transformation; in which, lifelong learning is considered as one decisive core value because of the effects towards society in fast changes on people's perceptions with high efficiency. Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University After 45 years of establishment and development, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has been implementing a restructuring strategy into a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University to meet the needs of national economic development, contributing to the spread of knowledge, civilization and comprehensive educational values ​​to the community in the direction of international integration in education and training. Nguyễn Văn Linh Campus – UEH On the foundation of 17 Sustainable Development Goals of UNESCO by 2030 (SDGs), UEH has identified contribution to the sustainable future of the community and the society as UEH destination comprising 5 strategic pillars as follows: training, research, community, governance and operations. In terms of sustainable training aspect, UEH is oriented to educate learners with full skills and high professional qualifications as well as capability of becoming a generation of global citizens who act for the development of a sustainable life. Since then, strategic goals for sustainable training have also been established, focusing on quality education, learning from practice, building lifelong learning capabilities as well as accessing multidisciplinary training and empowerment activeness for learners. Lifelong learning in Industry 4.0 Lifelong learning can be accomplished through education at home, school, work and anywhere with the aid of educational and communication technology tools. Lifelong learning provides an equal educational environment of opportunity, regardless of age, space and time for learners to pursue and persevere in learning. Through self-directed learning, learners take responsibility for their own learning from identifying learning needs, learning goals, determining available resources to participate in learning, choosing and implementing study plans that are right for you. A lifelong learning mindset will help individuals achieve better academic results and promote more success in their careers. UEH learners are trained to become global citizens for sustainable development. In this digital era, where the economic and social environment is dynamic, flexible and innovative, the workforce needs to continue to develop and renew their skills and knowledge to keep up with ITC non-stop advancements, especially in business sector - a field strongly influenced by 4.0 Industrial Revolution. In this context, lifelong learning plays a decisive role in an individual's career success. Lifelong learning has received opportunities due to digital world development, specifically, ICT has supported lifelong learning to be more active, learners can arrange their own learning actively; online communication form becomes an effective means of interaction in learning; impacts from online learning tools; listing as: (LMS), social media, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and game-based learning tools (Kahoot, Quiz Game) that create exciting innovations in learning. However, the digital world creates challenges for lifelong learning. First, constantly-changing technology requires workers to apply a lot of skills and to learn new skills regularly, leading to a rapid decline in labor productivity after peaking, leading to a shorter working age in terms of knowledge element compared to that of biological working age. Second, new technology tends to polarize work. Although technology can free up human labor, fully-automated processes make the number of workers redundant, eventually, workers lose their jobs and their growth is stunted. Third, digital technology offers great economic potential; nevertheless, the value of digital technology can only be realized when businesses and employees have access to it. Lifelong learning at UEH University From the role and the meaning of lifelong learning, especially, in the current period of digital transformation, with the goal of a sustainable university, UEH has built and implemented solutions to develop learners’ ability regarding lifelong learning. One typical self-learning corner at UEH Smart Library In terms of the training program: UEH has been implementing strategies to fundamentally and comprehensively innovate education and training. At UEH, training programs and textbooks have been always updating with the latest publications from famous universities in TOP 200 of the world; consequently, helping learners to accumulate modern theoretical knowledge in accordance with international standards. In addition, UEH integrates our programs with those from international professional associations, helping learners to have both in-depth theoretical knowledge and proficient practical skills to achieve international practice certificates, right their learning time at UEH. These synchronous measures create conditions to improve the quality of human resources, meeting the needs of businesses and society. UEH also opens up various additional opportunities for learners through our multi-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary training program for many ages and levels, from business, economics, law, state management to technology and design. In terms of teaching method: The teaching method applied at UEH has an effective combination of online learning and learner-centered approach, helping to enhance learners’ lifelong learning. In particular, UEH is applying ‘blend classroom’ and ‘hybrid classroom’ methods in teaching. This method helps learners' learning and research process always be maintained continuously and effectively, overcoming all barriers of space, time, and current epidemics, as well as helping learners with easy access to online learning resources. In terms of facilities and learning support policies: UEH, in order to support learners to be ready for Industry 4.0 and to develop ICT competencies for study and career, has fully prepared the infrastructure system with modern technology for learners’ learning and research activities. During their study at UEH, learners are able to experience a modern learning environment, including a smart classroom system that combines ICT devices and applications for teaching and learning with a system of practice room and simulation room. To be able to develop lifelong learning, learners must be equipped with study and research skills, self-study skills, creative ways of learning; in which, the library is the ideal environment for any learner to learn for new knowledge self-accumulation, especially with the current rapid development of science and technology. Understanding this requirement, UEH has developed a smart library (Smart Library), including Open educational resources (OER) as well as copyrighted academic database sources with the purpose of convenience creation for learners in exploiting and sharing documents, serving their learning and research process. What is more, UEH develops a financial support policy to help learners afford to pay and maintain lifelong learning: study encouragement scholarships, study support scholarships for disadvantaged students, business-sponsored scholarships, unexpected support scholarships for learners affected by COVID-19 pandemic and study credit packages. Being well aware of the need to develop lifelong learning to adapt to the diverse and volatile environment of Industry 4.0, UEH has focused on investing and building facilities in order to create favorable conditions and develop learners’ lifelong learning ability. UEH always accompanies Vietnamese Government towards building a learning society with lifelong learning skills for our national sustainable development.

Tipsy Art is not only a drawing event but also wishes to bring inspirational moments of painting and art to the community, aiming at a new lifestyle, focusing on experiences and feelings, cosseting, and cherishing every minute of life by all senses. Thanks to the art inspiration brought by Tipsy Art, UEH students had a meaningful activity to express their talents as well as artistic mindset most distinctively. Particularly, students’ contents of pictures recommended rubbish classification applying at UEH - one of the first steps forming a zero-waste university. Through those pictures, we have been partially aware of the positive support of students attending the UEH Zero Waste Campus project, orienting a UEH acting for sustainable development. Let’s admire these artworks with UEH! After the program, Organizing Board will select outstanding artworks and exhibit at suitable UEH areas to widely spread Rethink and Begreen message to UEHer Community. In the future, UEH will implement UEH Zero Waste Station: a station classifying, transporting, and turning waste into resources by world modern technologies.

UEH and lifelong learning necessity in Accounting-Auditing Specialization University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has been implementing a restructuring strategy, aiming to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University to meet the needs of the country's economic development, contributing to the spread of knowledge, civilization and comprehensive educational values ​​to the community in terms of international integration in education and training direction. Accounting-Auditing (AA) is one of the training disciplines that, annually, always occupy a high percentage of students because training quality and reputation have been verified along with UEH 45-year brand. In digital transformation process, together with ICTs development, Accounting-Auditing (AA) specialization is in the top group of occupations that are highly likely to be automated and digitized in the near future. A number of new technologies have had a strong impact on the accounting profession, listing as accounting software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, cloud accounting (Cloud-Based Accounting), blockchain technology (Blockchain Technology), technologies that support information presentation, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and big data analytics as well as computer-assisted audit techniques (CAATs). The application of these new technologies has created great opportunities as well as challenges for Accounting-Auditing (AA) occupation. With the support of ICTs, economic and technical activities can be carried out easily, comprehensively and quickly. It creates many new opportunities for practitioners who wish to develop themselves. ICTs is also an indispensable factor for competition and development and a must for businesses to survive. However, in accordance with the research by Gulin et al. (2019), automation makes the workload of accounting staff significantly reduced, leading to the possibility that about 40% of accounting and auditing jobs will disappear in the future. Technical engineering ranks 21st out of 366 occupations likely to be eliminated due to AI introduction, with a rejection rate of 96% (Stacheva-Todorova, 2018). In accordance with Vietnam Association of Certified Public Accountants (VACPA), the biggest challenge facing accounting and auditing occupation is the need to restructure the development strategy. It is necessary to have solutions for economic and technical human resource development to meet the high requirements of professional qualifications and professional skills, including ICTs skills to meet the development requirements of Industry 4.0. Because of the rapid change of environment and technology, the best strategy to boost economic accounting human resources in our country is to form lifelong learning skills for those as accounting and auditing practitioners. With the rapid change of environment and technology, the best strategy to develop the economic accounting human resources in Vietnam is to form lifelong learning skills for the accountants. Our research results on approximately 300 people studying and practicing accounting and auditing occupation in Vietnam show that they plan to continue studying to improve their professional capacity. It is worth noting that their lifelong learning needs come from the needs of the accounting and auditing practitioners themselves, rather than the mandatory requirements of the units they are working for. In addition, survey respondents also agreed that Vietnamese deepening-economic integration will create many opportunities for accounting and auditing practitioners to continue to study and improve their capacity. However, along with the opportunities, economic integration also creates threats of strong competition in the accounting and auditing occupation and requires people working in this field to continuously study to improve their capacity. Being well aware of accounting and auditing practitioners’ needs in the current national economic context, UEH has been focusing on investing and building many practical solutions to form lifelong learning skills for students studying at UEH university. Lifelong learning within accounting and auditing specialization at UEH From the necessity of lifelong learning, specifically for the accounting and auditing profession as analyzed above, especially in the current digital transformation period, UEH University, along with the goal of a sustainable university, introduces some sustainable solutions in accounting and auditing training. These solutions aim to develop lifelong learning in learners and have received positive feedback from employers and other stakeholders. In terms of training program At UEH, the accounting and auditing training program has always been updated with the latest publications from famous universities in TOP 200 of the world, consequently, helping learners accumulate knowledge regarding accounting and auditing in accordance with Vietnamese regulations and international accounting and auditing practices. In addition, accounting and auditing training program is also integrated with the programs from international professional associations (ACCA, CIMA, CPA, ICEAW), assisting learners to have both in-depth theoretical knowledge and proficient practice skills with the purpose of gaining international practice certificates right at UEH. Therefore, accounting and auditing training program is designed with a balance among knowledge, skills and attitudes; between theory and practice to help learners, after graduation, to become high-quality accounting and auditing practitioners, to foster communication ability comprehensively in an English-speaking working environment and to be fully equipped with skills necessary for comprehensively profession. This meets the core goal of the program, which is to instill a passion for learners to develop lifelong learning, scientific researching with a sense of respect for professional ethics and the ability to enhance their personal career in the country or in Asian region within Vietnamese international labor integration process. In terms of teaching methodology The main teaching method applied within UEH training program is learner-centered with combination with IT (LMS system, social media like: Zoom, MS team, etc.) Google Meet, game-based learning apps like Kahoot, Quizzes), to create excitement and maintain learning continuity, consequently, helping to enhance lifelong learning for learners. In particular, UEH has applied the ‘blend classroom’ and ‘hybrid classroom’ methods in teaching. These methods include synchronous and asynchronous learning processes, helping learners' learning and research processes to be effective in overcoming all current barriers of space, time, and epidemics as well as learners access online learning resources easily. In terms of ICTs capacity enhancement in accounting and auditing profession The inclusion of ICT-related modules in the training program helps learners to apply information technology (IT), especially new technologies in accounting and auditing fields effectively in organization and management accounting work towards serving the information needs of different subjects. In addition, UEH University has cooperated with international professional organizations (for example: ICEAW) to periodically organize seminars and seminars on ICTs in accounting and auditing profession so that knowledge of new technologies can be boost widely so as to raise learners’ knowledge level regarding ICTs and modern technologies applied in accounting and auditing development. In addition to the solutions that have been effectively implemented in the past time, UEH is developing “Strengthening IT application in accounting and auditing training program for 2021-2022 period” Project with the goal of cooperation quality improvement with enterprises in the field of applying ICTs in accounting and auditing specialization so that the training program is able to approach the practical reality in order to improve IT skills and knowledge for both learners and lecturers and encourage learners to carry out researches on accounting and auditing fields in the context of ICTs impacts. In terms of infrastructure facilities and learning-support policies In order to support learners to be ready for 4.0 Industrial Revolution, to develop ICTs capabilities to serve their academic and professional careers, UEH has fully prepared a modern technology infrastructure system for learners’ learning and research activities, including a smart classroom system that combines ICT devices and applications for teaching and learning, a system of practice rooms and simulation rooms, as well as a smart library system (Smart Library). In addition, UEH University also develops a financial support policy to help learners afford to pay and maintain lifelong learning for a career in accounting and auditing fields. Along with comprehensive solutions that have been implemented, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) always accompanies Vietnamese government to build a learning society with lifelong learning skills towards the sustainable development of the accounting and auditing profession in particular and that of the country in general.

A lot of products, just used once, are quickly put in the trash and taken to the landfill. That is to say, the problem is not about buying the product - it's about learning how to reduce wasteful consumption at home, work or university to bring about a cleaner and greener environment. More specifically, UEH Zero Waste Campus Living Lab Project wishes to actively empower people to take action to become green UEHer citizens. After the first important step is to properly classify garbage and to put it in the correct collection location, we will practice together Reduce - the first R in 3R model to together move forward zero waste lifestyle. This article will provide some tips so that everyone can reduce waste directly in the environment in which they live. Zero-waste practice at UEH – 3R model Role of Reduce step Reduce plays an equally important role as the step of sorting garbage and placing it in the correct collection location in accordance with regulations in sustainable waste management process. Reduce step actually means that each person has to change their consumption habits to reduce the amount of use. To successfully implement Reduce step, you need to actively implement two phases: (1) Use in case of necessity and (2) Reduce personal demand. 1st stage – Using in case of necessity means you need to think carefully before deciding to use, that is, only use/buy the product when you really need it in order to reduce emissions. When successfully implementing 1st stage, 2nd stage will be a step forward, which is to change/replace your actual needs to use products towards zero emissions to the environment. Reducing waste will absolutely bring a lot of benefits and here are some typical benefits: Reduce in daily life Reduce step should be conducted wherever there is a human footprint, which can be in the place of living, school, office or anywhere where entertainment activities take place and so on. There are many ways to reduce household waste at home, starting from simple and easy things to do. By adapting your thinking creatively, your impact on the environment (and, possibly, your wallet) can be reduced significantly by: Reduce at office It goes without saying that the workplace is one place that generates a lot of waste whereas daily activities at the office (eating, printing, documents and so on) can generate a rather large amount of garbage. Implementing savings in the workplace will not be difficult at all, each person can contribute to this process because today's technology has greatly facilitated printing and announcements and so on. Some activities can help employees reduce waste as follows: Reduce tại UEH UEH Zero-Waste Campus Living Lab Project is the 1st living laboratory model of a Zero-waste school. With the desire to direct UEH students, officials and partners towards an environmentally-friendly green lifestyle through training, research, operation, university administration and community connection. In addition to sorting waste at the source and keeping it at the correct collection location in accordance with regulations, Reduce step at UEH is also an important part of sustainable waste management process.

The conversation of the two fish reflected partially severe consequences from human littering actions to the ocean. Those actions do not only contaminate the ecosystem but affect our lives as well. Therefore, these two fishes would like to send us a message on raising our awareness as well as taking true actions to protect the ocean environment. The submission is a story about the journey of plastic bottles from their manufacture to recycling to newerand more useful products for human lives (pencil cases, decorators and so on) but are not rubbish polluting anymore. The submission is about the talk of “Hoang tu nhua” (The Plastic Prince) with his mother’s advice that: after accomplishing human-serving missions, he would be regenerated and live in a new shape. However, the fact is hostile and contrary to his mother’s previous advice, “The Plastic Prince” has to share a similar fate with other brothers: being a waste, a useless object in the spacious ocean. As a result, “The Plastic Prince”, on behalf of the rubbish brothers, sends to humans a message: Let’s join hands to protect the environment, our lovely Earth, and recycle the rubbish so as not to make them as “bad guys” in human eyes anymore. Group Prizes: School with the highest number of submissions: School of Accounting - 52 videos Coming to “The Story of Rubbish” competition, students have spread messages and “green” activities to everyone, contributing partially to protecting the environment towards greener - cleaner - more beautiful.

The workshop was jointly organized by UEH and Fablab Saigon - the first unit in Vietnam organizing Mobile FabLab program (or mobile producing lab) to bring producing experiences turning ideas into reality for students in less developing provinces (An Giang, Phu Yen and so on). FabLab Saigon, born in 2014 , isa place supporting everyone to develop their creative ideas to tangible solutions. Currently, FabLab is located in Toong Vista Verde, 2 Phan Van Dang, Thanh My Loi Ward, District 2 with a modern facility system. To guarantee program quality as well as safety during Covid pandemic time, the program had the participation of 15 UEH students. At the opening of the workshop, students were instructed to process carton papers into smaller pieces. After being processed, these carton papers would be crushed to create powders. With beautiful and colorful frameworks prepared by Fablab Saigon, students produced remarkable and family-friendly products only from simple ingredients listed as: paper boxes after flash sale days, discarded tanks, or milk bottles. Along with a Workshop recycling paper boxes after flash sale days, this activity also received the presence of Recycle One Kiosk - a unit building and developing solution systems impacting all objectives in the valuation sequence of circular economy and existing problems of recycling field in Vietnam. According to Me - a green UEHer citizen handbook, plastic accounts for 10% of total waste in the world. Every minute, we consume approximately 1 million bottles, and 5.000.000.000.000 plastic bags every year. This means 160.000 plastic bags are consumed every second. In only an hour, if those plastic bags are put together, they can wrap the Earth up to 7 rounds. Additionally, the decomposition of plastic waste is considerably long; therefore, we need to understand and process it precisely. Thanks to the activities taking place at Workshop Creation+, UEH hopes to spread Zero Waste Practice message via 3R Model towards a sustainable UEH University. In the future, UEH Zero Waste Living Lab project will deploy stations unifying, classifying, and recycling waste by world-leading technologies.

One of the main goals of “UEH – Zero Waste Campus” Living Lab Project is to know how to properly classify waste at source and apply 3R model (Reduce – Reuse – Recycle) in sustainable waste management, bringing back the school and life environment greener and cleaner. Why is waste sorting at source a must? Waste sorting at source is of great importance in waste management, contributing to minimizing the risk of spreading infectious agents, toxic and dangerous factors. Waste separation at source is the separation at generation points, the different materials found in solid waste in order to promote recycling, to reuse resources and to reduce the amount of waste remaining for collection and treatment. Separating waste at source is a practical task that each citizen should perform to join hands to protect the environment. 04 reasons as follows explain the reason why segregate waste at source is being an absolute must: First, sorting waste at source contributes to saving resources, bringing benefits to businesses, business units, households and so on from making use of recycled scrap and self-processed compost. Second, sorting waste at source contributes to raising public awareness regarding the protection and rational use of resources and the environment. Third, sorting waste at the source contributes to reducing the total amount of waste discharged into the environment by the community as well as to save costs of collection, transportation and treatment. Last but not least, sorting waste at source will contribute to solving the current dilemma that countries are facing, which is environmental pollution. How should waste be classified? In accordance with the regulations of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, currently at Ho Chi Minh City, waste is classified into 3 main types: Organic waste: Being easily decomposed in natural conditions, for example: damaged/rotten leftover food; vegetables and fruits; all kinds of tea, coffee, sugarcane bagasse and so om; paper, fiber factory, fiber from paper factory; waste from starch processing villages; all waste from agriculture, domestic waste and so on. Organic waste can be composted to create fertilizer for plant care right at the unit, at home or transported to a centralized processing plant into compost fertilizer, provided that it is necessary to have storage devices of suitable sizes for the storage time and to ensure that there is no littering, water leakage to ensure urban aesthetics. Recyclable waste: Being as used waste with recyclability, listing as: bottles, glass jars, drums, containers made from plastic; all kinds of plastic, soft plastic packaging; paper box, writing paper, printing paper, carton board; Newspapers, magazines, books, tables; Pots, pans and saucepans made of broken metal; All scraps of iron, steel, aluminum, stainless steel, aerosols and so on. They will be thoroughly sorted and sold back to a recycling facility or sent to recycling plants to form raw materials or new products for sale in the market to meet the consumers’ needs. Remaining waste: Being the type of waste that can be neither used nor recycled. The only thing to do with them is to bring them to landfills for burial. What is more, hazardous waste, besides the above types of garbage, will be collected, treated, and transported separately. Hazardous waste is all waste containing compounds with dangerous properties; listing as: flammable, explosive, toxic, toxic, infectious, radioactive, stinky, corrosive and so on potentially harmful to human health and the environment. Hazardous waste is everywhere, in every field: healthcare, manufacturing industry, commercial industry or even in agriculture, all of which produce hazardous by-products. Some types of hazardous waste can be listed as: pesticides, vim cleaners; batteries, accumulators, mini gas cylinders; petrol bottles and jars; electrical equipment (breakers, wires), electronic components, light bulbs, printing ink; needles, medical instruments, mercury thermometers and so on. These hazardous wastes are handled in accordance with legal requirements to protect the environment and prevent from coming into contact. Nowadays, hazardous waste, along with scientific and technical progress, can be treated by different methods: biological method, chemical method and physicochemical method and so on. This hazardous waste needs to be collected separately in a safe place in all containers that are tightly covered and labeled with a hazard warning. Waste separation at UEH In accordance with waste and scrap management Decree issued by State government, UEH has established “Regulations on non-waste university practice at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City” Set. The regulation aims to classify garbage into 03 main categories (organic waste, recyclable waste and residual waste); to practice 3R models (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle); to clarify stakeholders’ responsibilities towards zero-waste university practice process. Within UEHZW Living Lab Project framework, waste classification approach is implemented in details by UEH, with detailed dissection of each specific case so that UEHer community can thoroughly implement waste separation at source. A lot of specific contexts are introduced to make garbage classification closer and possible. These contexts are dependent upon garbage audit outcomes at Nguyen Van Linh Campus in April 2021.

UEH is also actively connecting with stakeholders, especially the unit collecting specific types of recyclable waste, the unit recycling the waste into useful products, and the organic waste treatment unit building a closed waste management loop. UEH does hope that UEH learners, lecturers, officials and partners will coordinate with each other in separating waste at source and practicing a Zero-waste University.

How have businesses produced and distributed goods on their own digital platforms as well as E-commerce and retail platforms embarked towards this change to meet ‘Covid-19’ trend? Picture regarding E-commerce in terms of this Covid-19 epidemic context The fact that COVID-19 pandemic has made consumers stay at home more, with some areas restricted to travel and limited opening of shopping malls has resulted in the rapid and strong growth in online shopping. The data shows that Vietnamese E-commerce will achieve an impressive growth of 18% in 2020, the market size will reach 11.8 billion USD, accounting for 5.5% of total retail sales of goods and national consumption service revenue. With this impressive growth, Vietnam is considered to be quickly becoming the leading "appealing piece of cake" for E-commerce in Southeast Asia. Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa - Chairman of Member Board of Ho Chi Minh City Financial Investment Company (HFIC), with many operation years in retail trade field, shared about the role of E-commerce in Covid-19 pandemic context: Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa: The pandemic has caused widespread fear related to health, job security, life quality and financial stability at both individual and macro levels. This has directly affected people's income, spending has slowed down, consumer behavior has changed in both short and long terms. All have facilitated and promoted the strong development of E-commerce. What is customers’ actual concern upon shopping online during the epidemic? Which E-commerce channels are being used a lot by Vietnamese users? Let's listen to the sharing of Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh - Lecturer at Faculty of International Business-Marketing, UEH Business School. Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh: During my lecturing process, I actually did ask students in an E-business class that, from the customer's perspective, what their concerns were towards shopping online, a lot of ideas/opinions/answers were discussed in class: from very basic issues (where to buy, how to buy, whether or not to buy a product and so on) to more difficult problems (their interest in how E-commerce site operates, reputation or price). Recently, in a class discussion about this question related to the epidemic environment, most answers leaned towards health issues. Indeed, in accordance with the latest Nielsen research, health is Vietnamese people’ biggest concern during this period. Therefore, all customer's buying and selling activities on online platforms are associated with a health story, whether for mental health or physical health. Although Covid epidemic brings with it a lot of consequences, in terms of E-commerce industry itself, this is a springboard for E-commerce to gain momentum and take a big leap. Although consumers still have many concerns related to shipping costs, customer trust or delivery time and other arising problems (how to deliver and receive goods), they still ensure safety service in this pandemic context. During this widespread epidemic time, retailers who have been prepared as well as technologically capable, have achieved incredible sales on their E-commerce platforms. Like Green Department Store (Bách Hóa Xanh) with a sales channel via Zalo or Saigon Co.op with both website channel and Zalo and apps, Aeon also has its apps to help with ordering. It is certain that available E-commerce platforms, other big players like Tiki, Shopee and Lazada are not out of the game towards fresh food, an item that, if going back 3 years ago, no big man would want to jump in retail on his platform. Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa - Chairman of Member Board of Ho Chi Minh City Financial Investment Company (HFIC) (in the middle) and Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh - Lecturer of International Business-Marketing Faculty, UEH Business School (right) shared at ‘Life knowledge’ Program on HTV9 Within the background of rapidly evolving market forces, Businesses are adjusting themselves towards accepting the “new normal,” changing to survive, and sometimes, thrive, in this post-COVID era. Therefore, it is investment and development of online sales in parallel with offline sales as a requirement of the market and customers that retailers, in general, and supermarkets, in particular, must deploy if they target to survive and compete successfully on the market. It can be recognized that buying and selling on online platforms used to be rather strange to the majority of consumers; nevertheless, in the past few years, that Vietnamese consumers have considered shopping on online platforms as a part of their life has been especially correct for young people, Generation Z, a generation born and raised with technology development around them. Therefore, shopping on online platforms has become very familiar, consumers do not wonder how to buy; rather, they wonder about the products themselves more. Consumers have changed, they pay more attention to products with small values or those familiar. In accordance with statistics report by Ministry of Industry and Trade, in 2015, more than 10,000 items were traded on E-commerce platforms. Items like fashion pieces, daily necessities wth small value are traded quite actively on these platforms. In particular, before the epidemic, food, including fresh food, was listed with limitation in consumers' shopping carts when choosing to buy online. Nevertheless, during the past pandemic, fresh food selection for life was the most-ordered item on E-commerce sites. Challenges of online retail business in Covid period As online sales becomes a larger revenue channel for brands and merchants, E-commerce platforms need to be adapted and coordinate with them to realize innovative retail strategies to attract more customers. With this development momentum, E-commerce businesses will receive opportunities and challenges as the platforms must constantly modify to meet customers’ needs. In Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa’s viewpoint, which factors will affect the development of commercial business activities on Vietnamese retailers’ digital platform? First, it is necessary to realize that the commerce business on the digital platform of today's retail businesses must be based on an integrated multi-channel platform – Omni-channel: Second, the requirements of integrated omnichannel retail – Omni-channel: conversion, integration and collaboration – must be clearly identified: Third, customers’ willingness: Instead of protecting every personal piece of data, customers, currently, are more willing to share sensitive information – COVID has helped customers build trust in data sharing. Consumers are more comfortable sharing data with vendors if they believe the data is used responsibly. This helps retailers know their customers on a whole new level and personalize offers and promotions better than before. In addition to these impacts that will affect the retail business and commerce on Vietnamese retailers’ digital platform, the biggest problem is probably customers’ trust with online shopping activities. One survey in 2019 aiming at finding out customer satisfaction, more than 50% of the respondents were not satisfied with online shopping because the quality of the goods was not as advertised; therefore, causing customers to distrust the sales unit, many products are attached with pictures for illustrative purposes only: the received products are different, leading to the loss of consumers' trust. Consequently, Trust element has become the biggest obstacle for consumers to choose this sales channel. In addition, the fear of personal information leak (being revealed to the outside) is also another concern, especially when the big players in E-commerce industry are all shaking hands with electronic payment applications (E-wallets). Worrying about banking account information reveal is also one of the biggest concerns for consumers. It can be seen that current Vietnamese consumers do not find it difficult to use apps, applications or orders on websites, they are worried about product quality, personal information and shipping services that are major issues that consumers are worried about. Last but not least, maybe, it is the lack of a legal corridor to support and protect consumers on E-commerce platforms: which laws and sanctions are strong enough to handle small frauds on E-commerce platforms? Lessons learned from countries around the world Within the first 90 days of Covid pandemic, E-commerce industry has been experiencing 10-year digital application for consumers and businesses. Giant E-commerce companies (Amazon, Alibaba.com, eBay and so on), all of which have had skyrocketing sales. This means that their business strategy, supply chain, and operating model have completely met customers’ needs, creating opportunities for sales teams to approach new customers. Thousands of new technology partnerships have been formed to support and optimize efforts in E-commerce. Why are big E-commerce companies in the world like Amazon, Alibaba and so on successful during the outbreak of the epidemic? Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh shared: Maybe, using ‘ripe opportunity’ term or ‘natural time, favorable location and human harmony’ phrases for this case can explain the most reasonably. The epidemic has created an opportunity and created momentum for E-commerce companies to develop; however, we should look at the fact that E-commerce companies have prepared themselves, from building a system of solutions ready to develop and turn over, big E-commerce enterprises like Amazon or Alibaba have had a time to build customers’ database, this is considered as a new source of knowledge, new knowledge for business innovation. Second, when the epidemic broke out, many countries enforced blockade or social distancing orders, worldwide Internet traffic increased by up to 70%, most of which were used for services. Some countries have actually intervened to upgrade the Internet system so that it can run an entirely-or-partially digitized economy. Banks are also joining an arm to help boost digital payments faster and easier. In China, the handshakes of big players like E-commerce floors with E-wallets and banks can be clearly seen. Last but not least, the vast majority of users have been learning and developing their buying and selling skills on E-commerce platforms quickly. It should be stated that there has never been a time when businesses, residents and the State have been sharing the same opinion towards promoting the economy digitization, of which E-commerce is only a part. From the effects that businesses around the world are applying, can Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa share more effective e-retail business lessons in Vietnam? Appropriate solutions for online retail businesses In accordance with previous studies, the biggest difference in 2020, in terms of production and business activities, compared to 2018 and 2019, is in the sales channel. The trend that houses are as markets, offices, schools and so on ensures measures to prevent COVID-19 epidemic, E-commerce and online channels are an indispensable part. This leads to the transformation of the traditional retail model into offline and online Omni-channel retail, as well as Omni-channel retail model as follows: goods are sold wherever customers are. Multi-channel sales model From Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh’s personal viewpoint, what are the advantages of Omni-channel sales model as well as the notes upon implementing this business model? 2021 is a year when many retailers have realized their current development trend is to have a strong transition to multi-channel sales, promoting sales on online platforms besides optimizing traditional sales channels. In 2020, many retailers had revenue growth compared to that of 2019 thanks to the rapid transition into an Omni-channel sales model for market fluctuation adaption. The advantages of Omni-channel sales model are diverse; however, the first thing to mention is that its ability in increasing interaction and perfecting the users’ experiences is a great advantage of multi-channel sales channel: when users are also using multi-channels, they appear at many different touch-points, on many different channels; if businesses do not understand these customers’ journey, the loss of customers to competitors is an overnight consequence. The second advantage is to help businesses be more flexible in the way they operate their business. It can be clearly seen that, during the epidemic, traditional businesses cannot withstand this wave; nevertheless, businesses that quickly take advantage of multi-channels can not only operate but also grow in revenue. Please be noted that upon using multi-channel, it is certain that businesses cannot assure that the maximum channel is to be multi-channel tomorrow, they need to build a specific strategy, with a development roadmap; especially, they need to understand customers, when big data on customer behavior is being collected by retailers, they believe that they have realized that the omni-channel path, despite being brilliant, is still rough and hard underfoot. Which channel one enterprise opens, when to open it, how to operate that channel and how to link the channels together to bring a complete experience to new customers is the goal of multi-channel. It is due to the fact that the channel is just a tool, the main thing is to be aiming towards customers’ satisfaction, and upon selling multi-channel, businesses also need to look at their business activities to identify whether if they have taken customers as their focus or not. In addition, Dr. Đỗ Thị Hải Ninh also shared further details regarding how to proactively capture consumers’ insights and behaviors, thereby, introducing attractive promotions and optimizing sales on digital platforms. Talking about military methods in this context, maybe, is rather abnormal; however, it is precise that to know competitors, to know yourself means to win a hundred battles. Businesses would like to get into customers’ minds, to sell goods and optimize sales, it is crucial for them to understand customers, please do understand consumers first. Once understanding, they will know how they absolutely need a product, when they want it, where they want it and how they want it. Businesses can apply multi-channel experiences to complete customers’ journey, to give customers a great experience; or businesses can personalize and customize products with distinctive messages for each customer’s journey. Currently, a variety of different ways to collect and capture customers’ insights are available, thanks to information technology development, Big Data and AI should be considered by businesses to apply in analysis processes and understanding users. No matter how attractive flash sales, golden hour discounts or promotions are, the results are being ineffective without understanding and solving users’ problems. The point here is to completely understand the users first of all. Developing E-commerce into a sustainable ecosystem Successful implementation of integrated omni-channel retail – Omni-channel needs to be dependent upon the following 4 main pillars: - Sales channels: (1) Many sales channel options are available so the retailers must carefully evaluate the customers: where they spend their most time and where the products in the category are usually sold; (2) Channels: Online Store Interface, E-Commerce Exchange, Social Media Platform, Mobile Channel, Physical Store – or any place using POS, B2B/Wholesale and so on. - Marketing and advertising: (1) Even the best products and best websites need an integrated omni-channel marketing strategy to drive access and sales; (2) Delivering the right message at the right time and in the right place, all of which are tied together by a consistent brand experience, is able to make a big difference to a retailer's bottom line; (3) Channels: Shopping Ads, Google, Exchange Floor Advertisements, Social Media, Email and SMS. – Operation & Functioning: (1) The key to a multi-channel approach that integrates functions is to connect everything: product management, orders, inventory, logistics and fulfillment; (2) Inventory visibility is the biggest barrier for an inventory manager in omni-channel business so as to optimize the supply chain and not to miss a beat among sales platforms. – Transport and implementation: (1) The retailer has the option of using shipping software or a 3PL company (Third-party logistics); (2) Logistics and fulfillment are the E-commerce technical aspects; actually, it is another extension of the customer experience. What is more, to be ready for a sustainable ecosystem, it is necessary to consider 3 aspects as follows: businesses, infrastructure and consumers. In which, has the enterprise prepared its resources, goals and business model? The resources mentioned here refer to human resources and capital resources: employees have been trained and aware of the importance of E-commerce. Not many businesses have totally considered E-commerce properly, only considering it as an extension arm, only temporary without any serious investment in development. This is the weakest point in digital transformation activities of businesses. In terms of business model, the current situation of Vietnamese market is currently divided into 3 types: 1st as authentic - only executing direct business; 2nd type with combining and considering E-commerce as an auxiliary part; 3rd type as pure E-commerce businesses. This number is being limited in the market, the 2nd type is being on the rise and likely to become the industry leader in the next few years. The second aspect is the infrastructure, from hardware to software. The hardware we need to have is Internet system, wifi, network system and data delivery platforms, all of which Vietnam needs to upgrade quite intensively in the near future. Software is a legal corridor, consultation of state agencies (Department of Industry and Trade, Department of Information and Communication or beyond from relevant Ministries) in order to create a consistent and supportive mechanism for enterprises implementing E-commerce activities. Last but not least, after this pandemic, all consumers definitely have undergone an advanced training course on E-commerce; therefore, this section can confidently state that there has been preparation, unlike the context of two years ago, consumers did not consider E-commerce as an official formal commercial activity.

The conference is honored to attract approximately 140 domestic and international researchers and those interested, from universities in Vietnam and countries that register and attend as follows: New Zealand, USA, China and Taiwan and so on. Digital technology trend has been creating essential changes in industrial value chain as well as global supply chain. Towards Industrial Revolution 4.0 wave, Blockchain has been considered as the "key" for transforming digital and building future information technology platform. Vietnam has great potentiality in digital transformation with the advantage of a young, dynamic population with the ability to quickly access high technology. Therefore, Vietnamese government as well as businesses has been absolutely interested in digital currency issues as well as Blockchain Enabled applications in international trade. In his welcome speech at the Conference, Prof. Sử Đình Thành, UEH Rector, asserts that “Vietnamese Digital Currency & Blockchain-Supporting Applications in International Trade” International Conference is held with the aim of assessing the benefits and long-term impact of national digital currency on the foundation of understanding Vietnamese residents’ viewpoints and expectations; The conference will publish researches the following issues regarding digital currency (Central Bank Digital Currency - CBDC): approaches, necessary features, issuance process, application and circulation in the economy as well as Blockchain-based commercial application prospect in Vietnamese market; therefore, proposing recommendations and policy implications for government agencies in CBDC development process, promoting Blockchain-based applications to support commercial activities at Vietnamese enterprises. On behalf of the co-organizer, Prof. Andreas Stoffers, Country Director of FNF Institute in Vietnam, affirms that FNF Vietnam is honored to accompany UEH and JABES with organizing a meaningful bilingual international conference on digital currency topic as Blockchain topic is being applied more commonly in economic life. That the workshop is completely meaningful in promoting digital transformation and recovering Vietnamese economy in COVID-19 pandemic context is one of the activities showing the deepening relation between Vietnam and Germany countries towards a more comprehensive cooperation relationship. In Conference 1st session, Prof. Charla Griffy-Brown (Pepperdine University, USA) presents his research on "Blockchain Trends and Applications in the New Age" Topic. Prof. Charla Griffy-Brown states that the world economy is going through the biggest revolutionary digital transformation centering on Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology will redefine the way human beings conduct economic transactions: currency or asset storage. Besides, Blockchain market has grown very strongly in the past decade with more and more applications in industries listing as: transportation, public services, media, finance; with current application extensions to manufacturing and retail industries. It is estimated that Blockchain’ market value will be around $3.1 trillion by 2030. In addition, more and more multinational corporations are involved in Blockchain technology application in their operation. In accordance with Blockchain technology, digital currency can be applied in smart contracts (Smart Contract), opening new utility services that paper money can hardly do. In terms of how economic transactions are based on Blockchain technology, Dr. Ngô Minh Vũ (UEH, Vietnam), on behalf of his research team, announces their results from "Vietnamese Digital Currency: Economic Perspectives and Policy Implications" Research. Dr. Ngô Minh Vũ, in succession, presents CBDC’s main characteristics: CBDC - an emerging form of digital sovereign currency - is generally considered to be equivalent to physical cash (paper money) or reserves at a central bank by financial institutions; CBDCs are expected to replace or coexist with physical money; CBDC exists in two forms: (1) For general public towards conducting daily transactions; (2) For financial institutions (effectively used in interbank payments and other stock trading transactions). Their research results show that public awareness towards CBDCs is limited; CBDC is a new concept for the vast majority of people surveyed although many people already have an understanding of digital currency - Bitcoin digital. From these research results, the authors suggest some policy implications: In the short term, State Bank should apply E-wallets to encourage the use of CBDC in retail activities; In the long term, the use of CBDC will help reduce a lot of transaction costs and intermediary management stages; however, it is a necessity to have a coordination in implementation, supervision with a solid legal framework in each step of CBDC application. In Conference 2nd session, MSc. Hoàng Gia Thịnh (Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, Vietnam) represented his research team to “Blockchain technology applications in international payments: Feasibility and policy implications for Vietnam” Topic. MSc. Phan Thị Nhã Trúc (UEH, Vietnam) represented her research team to present “Blockchain technology applications in international payments: Feasibility and policy implications for Vietnam” Topic. For commercial activities and supply chain of the economy, Blockchain technology has great potentiality: improving efficiency, increasing transparency, saving time and transaction costs. Therefore, Vietnam needs to develop a legal framework to recognize and apply Blockchain technology so that businesses and commercial groups can pilot and apply in economic activities. In addition, Vietnam may consider using Blockchain technology in activities of trade control, customs, tax and goods traceability. The successful implementation of information exchange via Blockchain platform will shorten the stages and the procedures besides avoiding risks in customs activities between Vietnam and other countries. After each speaker’ presentation, the researchers and the conference guests enthusiastically participated in asking questions with lively discussions as well as constructive comment contributions to the presented research contents. After 3 short-but-succinct working hours, “Vietnamese digital currency & Blockchain-supported applications in international trade” Conference took place successfully well and left various positive impressions on participating investors, researchers and attendees.

Vietnam is one of the developing countries with a strong commitment to SDG implementation. Vietnam, however, like other countries in the world, is facing difficulties in the lack of SDGs assessment data for many reasons; listing as: huge building cost of SDIs database for collecting environmental data, building a statistical infrastructure capable of measuring and supporting SDG implementation and so on. Therefore, the emergence of Big Data (big data) has been an effective tool to support countries executing SDGs. Big Data and its role in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Currently, no unified definition regarding Big data has been introduced although Big data, from our narrowly limited understanding, is an absolutely massive amount of structured and unstructured, traditional and non-traditional data generated every day by mankind (satellite data, climate monitoring sensors, phone call logs, interactive information on the web and so on). Big data, in the broad sense, is not only solely data but also includes analytical and predictive methods and models to ‘understand’ data towards supporting decision making or implementation of a specific problem. Therefore, Big data has 3V characteristics: Extremely large data capacity (Volume) in petabytes or exabytes; Variety of types and content (Variety); Requirements for speed, processing frequency to actual-time level (Velocity). In addition, Big Data must be approached as a new ecosystem characterized by the composition and containment of 3 aspects (3Cs): Crumbs (raw data), Capacities (analytic capabilities, decision support determined by data models, algorithms and computing power) and Communities (party participation to interact with the Big data system). Regarding Big data, Economist Letouzé initiated a new concept ‘Big data for development’ - referring to reliable data sources suitable for policy formulation and sustainable development program planning, listing as: economic, population and social statistics, geospatial information data for climate monitoring, management and combat of deforestation and forest fires, data generated by social network users and so on. How is Big Data being deployed in other countries? In developed countries, Big data applications are helping to solve many problems in bettering healthcare quality, improving logistics efficiency, exploiting sustainable energy, managing smart cities and optimizing growth potentiality of digital economy. The data source for these projects is more and more complex with higher traffic and frequency, requiring more sensors connected to modern IT infrastructure. Take China as an example, one of the leading countries in the world is applying Big data and Artificial Intelligence in both public and private sectors. Since 2018, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has launched CAS Big Earth Data Science Engineering (CASEarth) Program, promoting the sharing of data, knowledge, and experiences around the world as well as supporting scientific discovery, technological innovation and policy making, directly supporting the implementation of SDG2, 6, 11, 13, 14 and 15 in China. A CASEarth program study analyzes daily peak temperature data obtained from 754 monitoring stations between 1960 and 2018 to determine the likelihood of reproducibility of heat waves and atmospheric temperature phenomena that are unusually high in China. These study results provide a better understanding of the frequency of heat waves and unusually-high temperatures and indicate that weather extremes occur more frequently in the period after 2000 (on a shorter 5-year cycle; instead of 10-or-20-year as before); moreover, the intensity in Northern region is stronger than that in the South. Accompanying the outstanding development of Chinese economy over the past three decades has been a huge migration wave from the countryside to the city, which has created megacities and significantly reduced the natural water surface area. Therefore, it is an urgent task, regarding CASEarth Program services to support SDG 13 implementation, to forecast the frequency of heat waves and extreme heat events and assess their impacts on economic activities, people’ lives and natural ecosystems more accurately. Within Digital Single Market strategy framework of EU digital economy version 2.0, BigMedilytics Project is the largest EU-funded initiative to transform healthcare sector of  EU region, using modern big data technologies to achieve breakthrough productivity by reducing costs, improving treatment outcomes with better access to medical facilities. BigMedilytics uses health records of more than 11 million patients across 8 EU countries, streaming data from Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices with more than one million records per hour and patient-generated data generated from mobile applications, ensuring that security and privacy of personal data is protected and managed within national framework and EU regulations. This pilot project accomplishes the following goals: Improving treatment outcomes for chronic diseases and cancer using Big data; Optimizing workflow through healthcare service industrialization using Big data; Ensuring Big data concept scalability for healthcare; Enhancing operations through data integration; Establishing secure and private healthcare services across borders and institutions; consequently, underpinning EU Digital Market Strategy, identifying Best Big data applications and allowing knowledge transfer. In developing countries, Big data projects are deployed, focusing on disaster mitigation and recovery, sustainable development of agroforestry and fisheries, adaptation and forecasting of change impacts by analyzing mobile users’ data, monitoring weather and remote-sensing the Earth. Take Nepal, the poor country suffering a lot from earthquakes, as an example. In response to natural disasters, Nepal prioritizes the development of practical policies and technologies that enhance disaster preparedness and recovery in order to reduce disaster impacts on poverty and sustainable-development efforts. Technology unit Flowminder has implemented technology that determines the geographical location of phone SIM card when making a call; therefore, creating a map of distribution and characteristics of populations vulnerable to natural disasters in countries with low-and-middle income. On April 25th, 2015, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Nepal, killing more than 32,000 people. At the same time, Flowminder, using anonymous mobile user data provided by NCell carrier, was assisting Nepal government, United Nations agencies and humanitarian organizations with actual-time analytics of people's movements. Through this analysis, organizations have effectively planned humanitarian assistance campaigns. Subsequent analysis by Flowminder showed that, after excluding natural emigration, more than half a million Nepalese left the Kathmandu valley (where the earthquake occurred) within two weeks of the disaster. Big data technology also brings an innovation in how to analyze data regarding residents’ behaviors in actual time. In Indonesia, UN Global Pulse Lab Research Unit exploits social media data, more specifically compared to Twitter users’ tweet data, with the purpose of revealing information related to discrimination at workplace (SDG 5) which is considered to be much more efficient than the traditional survey-based method. Big data technology brings an innovation in sharp analysis of residents’ behavior data in actual time Even during Covid-19 pandemic, Big data has provided an opportunity to conduct researches on modeling virus activity, effectively supporting the planning of public health surveillance and policies in response to infection outbreak in many countries around the world. Similarly, in Vietnam, mobile phone users’ data has been used to support in tracing close contact very effectively; however, not a single Big data technology solution applied community health has been fully developed yet. 05 policy suggestions to contribute to national strategy on sustainable development and Big data application to serve sustainable-development goal The supporting role of Big data application for Sustainable Development Goals of 2030 Agenda has been confirmed by United Nations through researches and practical application trials in many different countries in almost a decade from 2015. Vietnam is one of the developing countries with a strong commitment to the implementation of the SDGs; therefore, many benefits regarding Big data application for tracking and monitoring 115-goal implementation are potential; especially for important sectors: health, education, transport infrastructure, clean water and energy. Based on the analysis and research results of Big data application projects of countries around the world, the authors of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) propose 05 policy suggestions to contribute to national strategy on sustainable development and Big data application for sustainable development goals as follows: Firstly, to build and to maintain an effective national portal on official statistical data, implementation progress and results of sustainable development goals. Secondly, to develop and to publish free access to a number of high-quality big data sources in key areas (priority is to be given to the implementation of weather-monitoring data sources and remote-sensing satellites first). Thirdly, to invest synchronously, to connect Big data technology infrastructure and to encourage the investment participation of the private sector. Fourthly, to promote scientific research and application of Big data for sustainable development. Fifthly, to strengthen the legal corridor on data privacy protection, to improve accountability to encourage the active participation of people and businesses in Big data projects in health sector, education and urban management and so on. Big data has been deployed in developing countries as well as developed countries with the purpose of realizing the goal of sustainable development.

That Zero Waste means nothing is called ‘Waste’ because everything can be a resource if we know how to process it rightly. “Zero Waste Practice” has been  initiated, supported, developed, and become a modern and sustainable inclination of many individuals, organizations, and communities around the world. This is recognized as one of the waste crisis repellent activities, contributing to solving environmental and climate change issues. To practice zero waste, each individual, or organization possibly conducts 3R Model: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle towards managing sustainable waste. Comprehensive Understanding of Waste Trash, or waste, defined as unexpected products from human daily activities, can be divided into various types: solid, plastic, medical, hazardous, special, and so on. Most waste can affect the environment and community health. Waste will be discharged legally and illegally. Being ‘legally discharged’ means that the waste will be recycled, used as inputs into agricultural manufacture and energy, buried, burnt, or processed guaranteeing environmental standards before being discharged. Being ‘illegally discharged’ means that the waste will be poured directly into the environment or littered. Regardless of the legally discharged activities, the risk of environmental pollution, due to technology and management limitations, is alarming. Waste is not garbage, waste can be considered a resource if being processed well There is a variety of concepts and understandings of “zero waste”, nevertheless, these concepts all have similarities. In 2018, Zero Waste International Alliance updated this definition: “The conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.” To put it simply, that “zero waste” means nothing is called ‘Waste’ because everything can be a resource if we know how to process it accurately. “Zero waste practice” orientates everyone changing their own lifestyles and actions to form a natural circulation towards sustainability, in which most removed materials can be a socially beneficial resource for other purposes. More specifically, designing, and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, but not to burn or bury them illegally. “Zero Waste University” university orientates everyone towards changing their own lifestyles and actions to form a natural circulation towards sustainability, in which most removed materials can be a socially beneficial resource by applying correct waste management and processing activities. 3R Model - A zero-waste habit creation modification 3R model, a simple method, reminds us about ways of creating sustainable modifications. This model, step-by-step, helps us form a daily zero-waste habit throughout practicing 3 steps: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Meanwhile, Reduce and Reused are supposed to be central foundation activities. Recycle activity depends upon technological and managerial levels, and Recycling probably causes side effects, like air pollution or water shortage. Applying  3R Model to sustainable waste management at UEH positively impacts the environment by decreasing considerably the amount of waste that UEH Community has generated. Reduce: Reducing is an initial behavior and habit encouraged in 3R model. This behavior initiates when we identify reducing-impossiblyreused products. We are living in the age of continuous consumption; therefore we need to usually question whether or not to buy a product, this reduction step forces us to think of our actual demands. Reduction practice aims at a simple lifestyle. Possible typical reduction practice habits are as follows: Reuse: implying actions, behaviors and habits associated with reusing products. By creating and reusing, products and stuff pieces are utilized again with another new role or purpose but its functions remain unchanged. Thanks to that, their life cycles last longer. Reusing products belongs to creativity since each person will have different decisions about the upcoming usage purposes of those products. For instance, an old T-shirt is able to be turned into a shopping bag. Below are several typical reuse practicing habits: Recycle: is an action transforming waste into a new product through the right way of processing. Recyclable materials will be collected and separated into discrete groups as follows: organic waste (leftovers, leaves, vegetables, fruits and so on); recyclable waste (paper, plastic, metal, rubber, nylon, glass and so on); and other wastes. In terms of household waste, users can classify garbage into different groups and recycle; rather than discard solid waste. Meantime, industrial waste, when being recycled and reused, can save energy costs for companies and restrict environmental exploitation impacts. However, some unrecyclable materials require high technology. Therefore, consumers should choose environmentally friendly and recyclable materials if they cannot reuse those products. Conducting 3R model is not only meaningful for the environment but also massively beneficial for the social economy. This practical action for each individual contributes to the circular economy. To perform successfully this 3R model, it depends largely on the consciousness of individuals, community, and the whole society.

Is building a sustainable university equivalent to implementing only sustainable training and research besides other activities are just as supporting role, or can these activities be implemented separately? How does UEH define a sustainable university development strategy? What role will UEH-affiliated units, individual UEH employee and staff play in this process? Within this article framework, Sustainable University Project Board will concentrate on clarifying the content of a sustainable university and major orientations that UEH will be deploying in the upcoming period. Sustainable development principles have been applied and implemented in different fields for a long time all over the world: economic sector (UN, 1987), tourism (UNWTO, 2005), energy (UNWTO, 2005), World Energy Council (2018), health (Yélamos et al., 2019) and education for sustainable development (UNESCO, 2019). However, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations members in 2015 (UN, 2015), offers a common plan for peace and prosperity for all involved and the planet, at present and in future with an emphasis on acknowledging 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This recognition as an urgent call to action by all developed and developing countries in a global partnership, in which, the role of universities is very important in promoting and implementing 17 SDGs successfully. Universities do contribute to training and research towards sustainable development, in addition, each university itself must transform into a sustainable university, that is, actively participating in promoting and solving problems at regional or global level; strive to minimize negative economic, environmental, social and health impacts by using resources for teaching and research in ways that assist each society with the transition to sustainable lifestyles. Therefore, in order to fulfill the two central functions of a sustainable university, namely training and research, as well as to promote knowledge transfer and develop tools to realize SDGs or develop integrated projects in combination with other related partners (government, society and private sector), sustainable universities need to develop and integrate three more groups of activities: community, operation and school administration (Jora, 2020; Movement, 2019; UN, 2017; UNESCO, 2019). That is why one prestigious university ranking organization of higher education institutions worldwide (THE), in 2019, has launched Impact Rankings with SDGs integrated ranking criteria as a new approach to promote and recognize university commitment towards achieving the global sustainable development goals. THE Impact Rankings comprise integrated criteria towards sustainability goal. THE Impact Rankings with integrated criteria towards sustainability goal UEH, thanks to our pioneering steps and steady development since its establishment in 1976 until now, has proven to be on our right track for sustainable university development through the achievements in training, research, community connection, school operation and administration. It is the year 2021 that marks a major turning point for UEH with our restructuring strategy to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University (2022-2030 period). UEH, counting from this moment, is both aiming at sustainable development and moving to a new phase: sustainable action in the pillars of training, research, operation, governance and community connection. A lot of questions have been raised upon UEH announcement regarding UEH sustainable university development strategy: What is ‘sustainable action’ in training, research, operation, administration and community connection? Is building a sustainable university equivalent to implementing only sustainable training and research with support from other activities, or can these activities be performed in separation? How does UEH define a sustainable university development strategy? What role will units, individual employees and employees of UEH play in this process? Within the framework of this article, we will focus on clarifying the content of a sustainable university and major directions that UEH will deploy in the upcoming period. In terms of approaches from UN (2017) or UNESCO (2019), Sustainable UEH University will be composed of 5 pillars as follows: – “Training” Pillar: Sustainable UEH University will “train global citizens to act for sustainable development”, training learners not only acknowledge and be aware of SDGs but also transform their work to be better and more sustainable besides understanding the social, economic and environmental impacts on their future careers and professional work. To fulfill this requirement, training programs and products must take "signals and needs from society and community", "global quality, international standards" as the foundation and integrate the sustainable development principles into all training programs and subjects (linked to output standards), extra-curricular programs; empowering learners to actively learn/research/practice on sustainability through interdisciplinary training - multidisciplinary, practical, learner-centered, continuous and lifelong learning. An even more important thing is that, in addition to the main training programs, one sustainable university must also provide (one or more parts) training and retraining programs to update, supplement and spread new knowledge to the community through extensive online/face-to-face courses and other combinations that contribute to continuous and lifelong learning modes. - "Research" Pillar: Research activity at Sustainable UEH University includes academic research, applied research with "Research for the benefit of the community" goal. Consequently, the research results must apply or suggest implications, policies, solutions to local and global problems, contributing to the sustainable development process, helping everyone in the community and society to get access and use research results with a positive influence on society. Furthermore, the role of “sustainable researchers” at a university is to look at the different SDGs, understand which approaches are more effective and analyze 2030 Agenda implementation to address the issue so as to propose the most reasonable solution and achieve the most goals. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out researches and consultation in the direction of multidisciplinary integration, linking domestic and international research and strengthening cooperation among universities to promote advantages and solve the unequal allocation problem (resources, fields) among universities and research centers for SDGs goal. It should be stated that “Training” and “Research” are the two most crucial pillars towards sustainable university development. However, construction and operation is not simple and absolutely needs the integrated, complementary and parallel development of all other activities, including those of a university, like: operation, administration and community connection. - “Operation” Pillar: Referring to promoting university campuses operation by making the most of natural and social resources to reduce waste, energy consumption: using batteries solar, renewable energy, use of good insulation, waste segregation, sustainable procurement policy towards zero footprint or Green Campus. These campuses, in addition to being environmentally friendly, must also be open to the community accessible, traditional labs need to be replaced by a living lab, eco studio-lab system, where all stakeholders, researchers - lecturers - staff and learners together study, research and thoroughly solve problems of the university itself, of enterprises, of state management agencies or the community. – “Governance” Pillar: UEH and its affiliated units place sustainability as a priority in the overall development strategy, having an operation way in accordance with the status quo, available characteristics with a specialized department responsible for controlling and evaluating the operation process, realizing an effective university governance model, attaching to the market, implementing digital transformation and developing according to sustainability criteria. – “Community Connection” Pillar: Being the creation of an open community of learners, officials, employees and partners who are willing to change for sustainable development through self-organized community activities. UEH will build the UEHer Community as “a community of art inspirers and changemakers for sustainability”. UEHer community is defined as an open community of people who have been studying, working, teaching, researching, collaborating and collaborating with UEH through proactive empowerment for student groups, extracurricular activities, active employee participation and partners in action for sustainability and artistic inspiration. 05-pillar model for a multi-disciplinary sustainable UEH University The reality of implementing sustainable universities around the world shows that it is not possible to develop each of the five activities mentioned above separately or focus only on training and research that other activities only is supplementary. In order to perform any activity, there must be support and impact from other activities and vice versa, neither primary nor secondary. Therefore, UEH needs to develop a framework for sustainable university development that is suitable for the context of each university and Vietnam together with to achieve 17 SDGs with specific quantitative measures (e.g. using assessment criteria) of THE Impact Rankings) on training, research, operation, governance, sustainable community connection activities. An actual example of how UEH is implementing UEH zero waste (UEHZW) Project associated with building UEH Living lab for training and research. UEHZW Living Lab construction building a zero-waste university campus (2025) as a foundation for a green campus (2030) development and operation in accordance with accreditation criteria of international organizations with reputation like LEED or BREEAM. UEHZW is not only merely a call to action of learners, lecturers, staff and partners to practice/actively practice zero waste at school or when returning to their place of residence. UEHZW will be a Living lab that includes research and teaching activities that integrate multidisciplinary - interdisciplinary both internal and external partners outside the university, integrating economic-technical-technological factors – society to radically solve the problem of waste (not just on school grounds), incubating new ideas for garbage collection and recycling or developing a circular economy (turning waste into a natural resource), researching models to reduce unnecessary use, changing consumption demand models, investing in financial models in each alternative, developing smart educational platforms or displayed through the content, output standards, practical exercises of each subject, study program and so on. Restructuring towards becoming a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University is a vital decision for UEH and follows the development trend of the times, fulfilling a university responsibility in implementing 17 goals global sustainable development goals. With the pioneering spirit and our own inner strength, the whole UEHers will definitely accompany and actively cope with new challenges to jointly build and develop a sustainable university, contributing to the more prosperous development of a society.

The conference “Environmental Economics in Southeast Asia – Transdisciplinary Approaches towards Sustainability and Enhancing Quality of Life” was hosted by the Economy & Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA), jointly with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), College of Economics, Law & Government at the UEH University, and Environment for Development Center in Vietnam. This is part of EEPSEA’s ongoing work in promoting research in environmental economics using transdisciplinary approaches to increase sustainability and enhance life quality. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the conference was held virtually on Zoom, but it still received eager participation from nearly 450 participants, presenters, panelists, and guest speakers from around the world. Planetary boundaries must be taken into account to ensure a sustainable economy On the first day, the conference was honoured to have Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh (UEH President) and Dr. Eren Zink (First Secretary/Research Advisor, Embassy of Sweden in Thailand) to give the opening remarks. Prof. Su Dinh Thanh shared: “With a desire to build sustainable values for society and community, we are extremely proud of accompanying the co-organizers of EEPSEA Scientific Conference on seeking and promoting environmental economic research, decreasing sustainability, and improving quality of life. I believe that this annual EEPSEA Conference will be a meaningful forum for all scientists, researchers, and experts around the world. Your concerns and participation are motivations for UEH to more and more make efforts in teaching and researching activities towards internationalization.” Prof. Su Dinh Thanh stated the opening of the conference Dr. Eren Zink, the representative of Sida, delivered a welcome speech. Following the warm welcome was the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Arnold Tukker (Leiden University, the Netherlands), chaired by Dr. Pham Khanh Nam (EEPSEA Regional Director) on the topic capital investments for developing a sustainable economy. Prof. Tukker highlighted the need to balance between respecting the planetary boundaries while meeting social-economic goals of humankind. The presentation once again stressed the important role of research in aiding policymakers and practitioners in their informed policy choices. Next, 3 parallel sessions were held on different topics: session 1A Environmental health, session 1B Economy-wide environmental issues, and session 1C for new research proposals.. Prof. Arnold Tukker discussed investing capital in a sustainable economy Researchers participated in the conference. Climate change is the top pressing environmental challenge The second day of the conference started with a roundtable discussion on future research topics for Southeast Asia. Coordinated by Dr. Gem Castillo (Director of the EEG Philippines), the session was joined by EEPSEA Executive Members from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This is an interactive session where participants were able to give their opinions on the environmental problems of their concern, their research topics of interest, and which content they would like to see in EEPSEA’s future trainings. The poll results indicated climate change to be the top pressing environmental challenges faced globally, along with other inter-related challenges to the region, including waste & pollution, overexploitation & degradation of resources, and mismanagement. As for research topics of participants’ interest, there was a diversity of research fields not only from economics and environmental studies, but also from governance, business, and social studies. The results implied a diversity in research backgrounds and interests of the participants and opened up promising topics for the future. The results of discussions related to economic and environmental issues in Southeast Asian nations Dr. Hermi Francisco, a host of a parallel discussion. Afterwards, Dr. Pham Khanh Nam (EEPSEA Regional Director) announced the detailed information and application procedure for the EEPSEA’s Seed Grant and Small Research Grant. The grants provide funding and supervision to researchers in Southeast Asia with research projects that apply the tools of economics in the analysis of policy-relevant environmental challenges, and preferences are given to those employing transdisciplinary approaches. Following the introduction of EEPSEA’s grant programs, the conference continued with 3 parallel sessions: session 2A on Marine resource management, session 2B on Environmental valuation, and session 2C for new research proposals. Inter-related problems need interdisciplinary solutions and research The third day started with 3 parallel sessions on environmental valuation, new research proposals, and EfD-Vietnam’s session on environment and development. The day continued with the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Phoebe Koundouri (Athens University of Economics and Business, EAERE President-Elect) on interdisciplinary research for sustainable growth, chaired by Prof. Dr. Arief Yusuf (Director of the EEI Indonesia and Professor at the Padjadjaran University, Indonesia). Prof. Koundouri stressed the fact that all problems facing humanity are inter-related, so solutions need to transcend disciplinary boundaries to fully address them. Furthermore, it is crucial to communicate research findings and engage different stakeholders in the process so that science goes beyond the lab to make real-life impacts. Prof. Phoebe Koundouri, President of EAERE emphasized the necessity of interdisciplinary researches and solutions for sustainable growth. Two prizes for excellent research papers were awarded: the “Sustainability Prize” for the paper “Fisher preferences for marine litter interventions in Vietnam” by Bui Bich Xuan (Nha Trang University), and the “Green Prize” for the paper “Does microcredit for water and sanitation improve household welfare: An evidence from Indonesia” presented by Kiki Amalia Tazkiyah (Universitas Indonesia). Dr. Phumsith Mahsuweerachai, Director of Economy & Environment Institute - Lower Mekong Subregion (EEI-LMS) announcing “Sustainability Prize” for the best articles and “Green Prize” for young female researchers. Despite being organized entirely online, the event was well received by all participants from around the world with diverse research interests. As remarked by Dr. Pham Khanh Nam in his closing speech, the conference has fulfilled the purpose of facilitating networking, information exchange, and collaboration among researchers, which is also EEPSEA’s mission in promoting transdisciplinary research for development and environment.

This law has had a profound impact on people' lives, business activities and economic development of the whole country. More broadly, land ownership has always been a fundamental institution throughout the development history of human society. Therefore, the relationship between land ownership and economic activities is always an interesting topic for economic researchers in particular and social sciences in general. The relationship between private land ownership and economic development of countries Douglass North (Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics in 1993), since the 1970s, has developed the hypothesis that private land ownership was at the root of the first industrial revolution and people’ wealth in Western countries. As stated by Douglass North, private land ownership motivates the private sector to invest capital in businesses because they are sure that the right to the investment results on their land will be protected by law. In addition, private land rights also create conditions for owners to pledge land to borrow capital for investment. Another important effect is that private ownership of land makes it easier for land to be bought and sold in the market, as a result, promoting land allocation to investors who are able to generate profits with high returns on land. Being consistent with Douglass North's analysis, numerous studies that have examined investors' opinions on the protection degree of private land ownership have found the correlation between protection degree of private land ownership and economic development of countries around the world. Therefore, many developing countries, including Vietnam, have experimented with many institutional reforms on private land rights in order to free up resources for economic development. An important question arisen is how particular countries should establish private land ownership in order to promote economic activity. A new study by Dr. Hồ Hoàng Anh at School of Economics, Law and State Administration (CELG), UEH University used the context of Vietnamese Land Law in 1993 to contribute an empirical answer to this question. Land ownership – the origin of the first industrial revolution Vietnamese case application: Measuring economic development at commune level in relation to night-light intensity data In 1993, Vietnam enacted an important land law that established land-use right certificates and allowed owners to buy, sell, lease, pledge and transfer land-use rights certificates. In other words, the land-use right certificate for annual crop planted land has a 20-year term whereas land for perennial crops and forestry land has a 50-year term. After this period, the holder of the land-use right certificate can apply for an extension. Most importantly, commune-level authorities are no longer allowed to arbitrarily recover and distribute land-use rights as before. Vietnamese Land Law in 1993 was one of the most impressive land tenure institutional reforms in developing countries. By 2000, approximately 11 million land-use right certificates had been issued to rural households across the country. A major challenge in assessing the impact of 1993 Land Law is how to measure economic development at commune level when data on gross domestic product (GDP) at the commune level is virtually nonexistent. To address this, this study used night-time light intensity data, provided by US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite imagery, to measure economic development at the commune level. Because night-time consumption and production requires light, recent studies in the development sector have shown that night-time light intensity is strongly correlated with GDPs of countries and economic regions within each country as well as other additional indicators of economic development. Using a random data sample covering more than 2,000 communes in rural areas (compared to a total of more than 8,000 communes) in 2004, the study found that the proportion of agricultural land with land-use right certificates has a positive relationship with light intensity. Specifically, when the ​​agricultural land area with land-use right certification increased by 1%, the night light intensity increased by about 0.6%. However, this result fluctuated quite strongly when econometric methods were used to check for confounding problems in the data. Land-use right certification leaving a positive effect on light intensity without a great extent (Source: collected image) Two potential reasons for the relatively small impact of the 1993 Land Law on economic development in rural areas are as follows. First, the 1993 Land Law only grants land-use rights for a fixed period, legally speaking, the land remains under State ownership and can be expropriated with compensation below market value. Therefore, land users have no incentive to invest their full potential in the land. Second, in land transactions, land users have to go through a variety of complicated administrative procedures and pay too many taxes and fees. This is why the costs of time and money in land transactions in Vietnam are generally higher than those in other Southeast Asian countries. Previous studies have also shown that land-use right certification in agriculture has a positive but not too massive impact on farm households’ investment level. In addition, the fact that land purchase activity on the market remains low slows land allocation toward potential productivity. Suggested policies from this study The empirical evidence in this paper raises two important policy proposals for institutional reform on land tenure in Vietnam, especially in agricultural sector. Firstly, Vietnam State should continue to improve and further promote land ownership in order to maximize private sector’s investment potential. Secondly, forceful reforms are urgently required to reduce administrative procedures and fees related to land transactions with the purpose of facilitating land transactions and speeding up land allocation process toward potential productivity.

In fact, most of current economic researches have concentrated on revealing the cause-and-effect (causal) relationships, how one event leads to another. What is the actual cause-and-effect (causal) relationship when so many impacting factors are being existing? Economists often have to answer a series of questions, many of which have policy implications, centering cause-and-effect (causal) relationship. For example, every year, the regional minimum wage raise is always a hot topic on forums, because managers have to answer this key question: “Does the minimum wage raise in Vietnam increase unemployment?” or “Will the minimum wage raise in Region I (with developed economies in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City) reduce migration and increase employment in Region III or IV (with harsh and undeveloped economic development)?”. Or will economists have to answer other more macroscopic questions about cause-and-effect (causal) relationship: Does the organizational culture of collective life promote economic development, in other words, is individualism or collectivism better for economic development? Does the highly-concentrated village collective culture in Northern region lead to better economic growth than the relatively-loose and individualized village culture in Southern region? There are three ways to answer the above questions. The first way is to look around, find some typical cases, observe and draw conclusions. This method is commonly used but scientists do not do so. The second way is to rummage through the books, see what economic theories state about this case and come up with an answer. For example, Mankiw's Theory of Labor Supply and Demand in Economics states that: as the minimum wage increases, the cost of labor becomes more expensive; consequently, labor demand decreases, leading to higher unemployment. We have a convincing answer: raising the minimum wage increases unemployment. Actual economists, nevertheless, won't believe this second way either; instead, they implement the third way, using data to find cause-and-effect (causal) relationships between variables: between the minimum wage and unemployment, between collectivism and economic development. This Podcast is to reveal the truth about the cause-and-effect relation (causal relationship) that Nobel Prize was awarded to David Card, Joshua Angrist and Guido Imbens - three scientists who solved it this year. Let's go back to one realistic example first. From January 1, 2020, the minimum wage in Region I in our country will increase by 240,000 VND compared to that of 2019 salary. If the number of employees in Region I in 2020 is to be compared with that in 2019, is the difference not due to a change in the minimum wage between two timing points? For example, if the difference is zero, it can be concluded that a minimum wage increase of VND 240,000 does not increase the unemployment rate in region I. The mostly-used inference above is incorrect at one key point as follows: Labor force dynamics depends on a variety of factors: population growth, inbound and outbound migration, inflation, economic growth, investment, or labor costs. From 2019 to 2020, all factors affecting the labor force did change; how can it be concluded that only the change in the minimum wage (labor cost) leads to a change in the labor force? Analyzing the role of each factor towards the final result is not easy because the researchers only recognize the group of fluctuating causes and the group of fluctuating results; nevertheless, they can not identify the connection of these two groups: which cause leads to which result and how much this costs. The goal of empirical research is to identify the bridge between each cause and each effect. The impact of a policy intervention on an entity (or an individual, a family, a business or a country) is defined as the difference in the outcomes that the subject receives when the intervention is performed, compared to that of being no intervention. The difficulty lies in the fact that: at a time, each subject cannot both receive and receive treatment to compare the difference in outcomes between with intervention and without intervention. From left to right: David Card, Joshua Angrist and Guido Imbens - 03 American economists have just been awarded Nobel Prize in Economics for their work that draws conclusions from unintended experiments, also known as “natural experiment” Photo: University of California, Berkeley, Wikipedia and Stanford University Answers from experiments This is a classic problem in the study related to causality statistics; nevertheless, it is quite surprising that economists have only been really interested in solving this issue in their empirical studies since the early 1990s. To overcome this problem, some economists apply the method of natural science or that of medicine major, which is to organize random experiments. Researchers set up an intervention group, a control group and randomly assigned participants to two groups. Due to the random distribution, it can be assumed that the characteristics of the participants in the two groups are the same. Everything regarding the two groups is the same, the only difference is whether the intervention was present or not; therefore, the difference in outcomes between the two groups comes from the intervention. It is the intervention that causes those disparate outcomes. In 2019, three economists - Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer - were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for design and application of a randomized experimental method to development problem study, specifically assessment of the impact of projects and policies for poverty reduction consequences. On the other hand, many problems in labor economics cannot be implemented by random experiment; the point is that another way to solve the causal problem must be found. We do not have the perfect control group as in the experimental study. We don't know what would happen if there were fewer immigrants or one person didn't continue their education as that doesn't happen in practice and it's not possible to do experiments to test the influencing factors. No real experiment is conducted to produce controlled data, but the researchers can take advantage of the available data, use their keen eyes to select and organize the data as if it were in an experiment. This initiative is called “quasi-experiment method”, known as ‘natural experiment’ due to the nature of available data, the nature of not being arranged as that in a random experiment. Behind this group of methods are 03 scientists awarded 2021 Nobel Prize in Economics: Guido Imbens, Joshua Angrist and David Card, called this as “Credibility Revolution”. This method assists causal analysis results in becoming more reliable and scientific. Considered a methodological revolution that originated in labor economics in the early 1990s, pseudo-experimental methods, currently, have become the main method group for solving causal relationship problems in many applied economics fields: development, health, resources and environment, production and consumption behavior, finance, even, macro-area. At that point, they must have exclaimed that they are revolutionizing only the reliability character in empirical economic analysis, not something else. This "something else" element here is implied through the results of David Card and Alan Krueger's revolutionary key research paper on minimum wage topic. In the early 1990s, New Jersey State raised the minimum wage per hour from $4.25 to $5.05. The current Orthodox Economic Theory at that time asserted that this wage raise caused unemployment. Card and Krueger were extremely delicate in choosing to study labor data from the fast-food chain with low wages and minimum wage change would make a lot of sense. More subtly, they chose to compare the figures of New Jersey's fast-food industry employment with those of the neighboring state, Pennsylvania. Eastern Pennsylvania, to be exact, bordered New Jersey; therefore, the demographics, the temperatures, the weather, the prices, maybe even the tastes were similar. Using their flair for choosing natural data, these two economists created a control group and an intervention group that changed the minimum wage. Changes in labor outcomes for control group (Eastern Pennsylvania) contained changes in the economy over time. Changes in labor outcomes for intervention group (New Jersey) contained changes in the economy over time and those in minimum wage policy. Subtracting these two changes from each other left the change in the number of workers due to the minimum wage policy. This was the impact of the minimum wage policy on unemployment. The effect was quite pure because many confounding variables were filtered out. This method is called “difference in difference”. Card and Krueger indicated that raising the minimum wage did not increase unemployment in New Jersey. In 1996, President Bill Clinton agreed to increase US minimum wage after numerous delays from previous presidents. Previously, the issue of raising the minimum wage had been hotly debated because of the fear that it would reduce employment. Image source: Econhist. This result, in the early 1990s, was considered as "heretic". Even James Buchanan, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1986, wrote in Wall Street Journal that the study was written to promote ideological interests, implying that Card and Krueger were left-leaning, promoting higher wages for labor, ignoring economics law. Leftist ideology attribution also came from the 1990 study by Prof. David Card on migration. The question was whether migrants reduced wages and took up jobs from the people they were coming from? Prof. Card analyzed the data of 120,000 migrants who, in 1980, left Mariel Port in Cuba for Miami, increasing the workforce at Miami by 7%. He used a disparity analysis to compare labor outcomes in Miami with results from several other cities that resemble Miami without large numbers of immigrants. As a result, it was found that wages and unemployment rates in Miami were roughly the same as in other cities. Therefore, migration does not change the labor market. Factional minds from political parties immediately thought of implementing researches so as to promote migration and raise the minimum wage. However, Prof. David Card’s purpose was impressively enormous than those of political deductions, he just aimed at to focusing on the beauty of research for a more accurate and scientific economic research. “Labor economists are trying to be more scientific: they find specific hypotheses and test them as carefully as possible,” he emphasized. One beauty of pseudo-experimental method lies in Angrist and Krueger's paper in 1991 related to the impact of one-year schooling towards one’s income. How much would the income increase by investing for an extra school-year? This is a difficult question to answer because many unobserved factors (intelligence and persistence) also affected income besides going to school. How to separate the partial impact of education on income? Ideally, two people who were exactly identical: studying in the same environment, the only difference was that one learns a school-year longer than the other; the researcher only needed to compare these two persons’ incomes, the difference in income was definitely caused by the difference in this study-length element. The reality never witnessed that ideal. Angrist and Krueger were very subtle when recognizing that students in the same class enjoyed the same educational quality with some different schooling lengths. From entering 1st grade to graduation at the age of 16, pupils born in 4th quarter of the year would study some months longer than those born in 1st quarter in case the school opened in September. Since the fact that which pupils were born at which time within the year was completely random, Angrist and Krueger created two control and intervention groups as in a randomized experiment, in contrast, with natural data. Comparing realistic data for the two groups, Angrist and Krueger estimated that one-year extra education could increase income by 10%. Unlike Prof. Card and Prof. Angrist possessing ‘green eyes’ with realistic phenomena and data, 3rd Laureate of this year's Nobel Prize in Economics, Prof. Guido Imbens, is one theoretical man. He developed theoretical frameworks and mechanisms towards causality calculation for his colleagues to put into application. Card and Krueger's minimum wage study in 1994 changed the picture of American labor policy. In 1996, President Bill Clinton agreed to increase American minimum wage after numerous delays from previous presidents. President Clinton, himself, referred to evidences from Card and Krueger's research before signing Executive Decree. Empirical studies in Labor Economics by Card, Krueger, Angrist and the following generation in many topics, listing as: minimum wages, migration, education, labor supply behavior, labor productivity or wage discrimination have laid an important foundation for employment policies in other countries and International Labor Organization. The answer towards Việt Nam case Returning to the question at the beginning of this article, does the highly concentrated village collective culture in Northern region lead to better economic growth than the relatively loose and individualized village culture in Southern area? It is difficult to conduct random experiments to generate data on economic growth. Nevertheless, natural data abounds. Does anyone have ‘green eyes’ with a keen observation from the available natural data so as to put together a pseudo-experimental analysis like Card and Angrist did? Pseudo-experimental method group has been applied by many Vietnamese researchers in many studies to find a cause-and-effect (causal) relationship or to evaluate one policy impact. Many universities have incorporated this method into their curricula from Bachelor's to Doctoral levels. Prof. Melissa Dell of Harvard University analyzed the socio-cultural context, village structure of different communities in Gia Định to answer the question of whether collective culture leads to better economic results. Picture of An Nam village on Sài Gòn River at 19th century. Source: historicvietnam.com However, the person with ‘green eyes’ with the data to solve the above question in Vietnam is Prof. Melissa Dell et al. of Harvard University. Prof. Dell observed that, in Tiger year 1698, Lord Nguyễn Phúc Chu established Gia Định Palace, set up a tax collection station on Sài Gòn – Đồng Nai River and recruited migrants from Đàng Trong to construct communes and villages. 1698 border, on one side, was strictly condensed with culture, the strict organization of villages and communities in the countryside, on the other hand, was influenced by Khmer culture. A natural experiment divides the study sample into two groups. Because the space was located close to each other, the impact factors on environment, weather, topography are the same. The research team used the ‘regression discontinuity design’ technique which belongs to pseudo-experimental method group developed by Card, Angrist and Imbens, to answer the question of whether collective culture brought better economic results. As a result, Đại Việt-style villages are more cooperative, creating better infrastructure, less farming, less informal labor and better economic conditions. This research paper is published in Econometrica Journal, number 1 in Economics field, for its creative application among historical facts, contemporary data and reliable methods named in Nobel Prize in Economics this year. Referring to this study to light up a dream that, someday, more Vietnamese researchers can do the same thing: looking deeply into Vietnamese history, society and people, using modern world methods, letting data and facts speak scientifically, helping us to understand ourselves better. (Author: Dr. Pham Khanh Nam – UEH School of Economics, Law and Management).

Due to the COVID-19 situation, not only the German judges but also 2 out of 6 finalists (Eco Hanger and IVOGEL) could only attend the event online. Each team was able to make the most use out of a maximum of 7 minutes to pitch ideas and another 5 minutes for the Q&A session with the Board of Judges as they were able to convince the audiences about the development potential of their products/services through well-prepared, unique and creative presentations. Thanks to the careful preparation from the Organizing Committee, the online presentations as well as the communication process between both Vietnam and Germany sides faced no difficulties as if there were no physical boundaries. The Finalists impressed the Board of Judges with their high-level of confidence and remarkable pitch decks. Based on important criteria to commercialize the product in the international market (such as feasibility, USP (Unique Selling Point), suitability, entry strategy, growth potential) which were presented and discussed during the Pitching Sessions with the Finalists, the Jury has come to the final decision that this year’s competition will have 3 winners instead of 2 as intended. This rule-breaking decision was not only an indication of how competitive and outstanding the pitch decks of TOP 6 were but also a golden proof of the Board of Judges’ conscientiousness. The winners of International Innovators Award 2021 are Eco Hanger, Green Joy and Dr. Shaving. The prize includes full funding of airfare, travel and accommodation costs for a trip to Germany as well as access to a workspace at the University of Leipzig. Eco Hanger, Green Joy and Dr. Shaving will also have the opportunity to connect - cooperate directly with German business partners/customers as well as receive support from German experts to evaluate the possibility of product/service development in this potential market. Representatives of IIA 2021’s winners received awards with joy. We believe that the result marked an inspiring journey filled with passion for innovation, continuous learning and improving, as well as accumulating practical international business knowledge. This is also a bright beginning of a long-term development plan for Eco Hanger, Green Joy and Dr. Shaving to connect and explore the new markets in the European Union and Germany. For the remaining 3 teams, the journey of innovation did not stop there as IIA 2021 would like to keep in close contact with all of them so that the facilitators can continue supporting these Vietnamese enterprises in bringing their ideas to international markets. “I see in all of the candidates the potential to really develop in the German market.”, Prof. Dr. Utz Dornberger said. For more than 5 years, the competition has created opportunities for young enterprises and start-ups in Vietnam to connect and explore the new markets in the European Union and Germany in particular. We hope that the TOP 6 Finalists will become more successful in expanding their business internationally and the cooperation between the International SEPT Competence Center and UEH Institute of Innovation will become more and more strongly developed!

October JST Talk honorably welcomed a distinguished guest - Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann, under “Globalization, Political Regimes, and the Covid-19 Pandemic” theme with more than 100 in-and-out-boundresearchersincluding from following nations: China, India, America, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and so on. When World War I was about to come to an end, Spanish Flu 1918, one of the most historically dangerous pandemics,  was estimated that approxiamately 500 million people (equivalent to 33% world population at that time) got infected and 50 million people were dead. Immediately, pandemic controlling policies (social distancing, closing restaurants and so on), issued along with public health services, successfully controlled the pandemic. Currently, the whole world has once again faced another pandemic - Covid-19. Therefore, is globalization advantageous or disadvantageous towards other nations’ pandemic control? This is an extremely central question stated in the context that countries have been making efforts to decrease infection and death rates due to Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 pandemic has been confirmed to have caused a huge impact on the economy, society and politics worldwide. To lower Covid-19 spread, many countries have gradually modified their policies and regulations at limiting direct contact among citizens; they are tending to be stricter along with the emergence of dangerous Covid-19 variants. The birth of Covid-19-preventing vaccines and the widely-vaccination-implementing reality bring positive signals in terms of people’s health and economic recovery. Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann who researched “Globalization, Political Regimes, and the COVID-19 Pandemic”enthusiastically shared his research findings and opened research contents associated with the topic at October JST Talk. Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann is a German Economist and Honorary Professor of Economics at Bonn University (Germany), Maastricht University (Netherlands), Free University Berlin (Germany), and Renmin University of China (China). At  present, Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann is being Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Population Economics (ABS: 3; ABCD: A), simultaneously, President of Global Labor Organization). Prof. Zimmermann’s research-focused issues comprise population, labor, development and emigration. In the opening, Prof. Zimmermann raised a question: Is globalization the reason causing Covid-19 pandemic? Which challenges does Covid-19 pandemic bring about?What is the role of political institutions in coping with this pandemic? Prof. Zimmermann quoted research by Qiu et al. (2020), pointing out that China well accomplished minimizing the harms of Covid-19 pandemic thanks to timely policies: tightly-controlling methods, city quarantine, local public health system. limiting crowds, avoiding face-to-face contact, minimizing transport from highly infectious locals to the lower ones and so on. Since the vaccines were invented, the infection possibility of Covid-19 virus has been narrowed. Even though vaccine production is processed in several developed countries, in the globalization context, due to international relations, vaccines have been distributed to every country. In addition, Covid-19 pandemic raises a research-required question of an early warning system, an issue for both developed countries like America in particular and World Health Organization (WHO) in general. Prof. Zimmermann affirmed that Covid-19 pandemic spreads to the world at an extreme speed, which humans are key causing factors. Prof. Zimmermann researched the initial impacts of globalization on the pandemic spread among nations throughout the following indexes: (1) initially infectious speed; (2) infection scale; (3) mortality rate. Based on the data and the statistics collected from 118 nations, the analysis result reveals that countries with open economy were affected more rapidly and enormously - it is related to human interaction through travel and emigration and implies that the pandemic can be prevented by creating distances among nations and concentrating on residents’s transport. However, this is not an argument against globalization; this expresses the possibility of greater health infrastructure investment throughout international cooperation for pandemic prevention. The efficiency of health investment and international cooperation was acclaimed in case the  mortality rate was lower. Besides, it is requested to develop suitably flexible national-distancing systems and identify early the indexes to detect future pandemic outbreak possibility. Furthermore, trading policies are demanded to accelerate effectively the exchange of goods and services associated with the pandemic; instead of obstructing them (there is no “one nation is above all” policy, replacing it, inner-nation solidarity is required). One surprising finding from Prof. Zimmermann’s research is that countries applying less strict pandemic prevention commonly have higher infection and mortality rates than those of the stricter ones. However, the countries applying the less-strict pandemic prevention may not respond immediately in the short term; however, value citizens’ lives and health become greater. To end his presentation, Prof. Zimmermann reaffirmed that decreasing Covid-19 infection is a long-term fight. Globalization is an essential inclination and enormous strategy; political regimes are not central but themore importantly behavior understanding to develop responsive strategies in each national context. Prof. Zimmermann’s presentation at October JST Talk temporarily closed the seminar on “Economics and Business: Agendas for the Uncertain World” in 2021 - organized flexibly via online and offline modalities in Covid-19 context. In the upcoming time, JABES will keep being the bridge holding academic exchange activities with the aim of assisting national and international researchers to illustrate their research findings and discussions as well as initializing further upcoming researches.

Digital transformation, an important step in this process, presents significant impacts to urban development around the world, in which, Vietnam is not an exception. This article aims to understand formation-and-development process of cities around the world as well as impacts of industrial revolution and digital transformation towards urban development, to analyze and to draw lessons learned from city digital transformation around the world besides analyzing Vietnamese context. The foundational solutions are to be provided with the purpose of assisting cities and localities across the country with an overview so as to take the appropriate steps before setting goals, developing strategies and implementing digital transformation programs effectively as well as contributing to building a stronger and sustainable Vietnam. Cities and urban development trends The fact that rapid urban growth led to the emergence of widely dispersed-or-developed city type in 20th century differed from compact city type of 19th century. This is precisely results from rapid industrialization, new technological inventions (automobiles), abundant land resources and cheap fossil fuels (Brilhante and Klaas, 2018; Lehmann et al., 2011). The ubiquitously constructed transportation and infrastructure systems also contribute to environmental degradation, natural resource destruction, traffic congestion and excessive fuel consumption in many cities around the world. (Co-operation and Development, 2012; Freire, 2013). It is because of these facts that have prompted urban researchers to start their journey to introduce new urban types towards sustainable development in order to promote economic growth, environmental protection and social justice (Brilhante and Klaas, 2018; Campbell, 1996). Since the 1980s, types of sustainable cities, in accordance with the above criteria, have been researched and developed. Following types of Green city, Eco-city, Carbon emission reduction city concentrate on environment whereas livable and sustainable city type emphasizes economic aspect and types of knowledge city, city smart city and so on focus more on social factors. Green cities are defined as those that are environmentally friendly to ensure sustainable consumption (UNEP, 2011). In addition to greening-the-city activity, other criteria of a green city are: clean air and water, clean streets and parks, self-healing ability against natural disasters, infection risk reduction from disease and an encouraging-place for green behaviors, like: using public transport, creating more green space for the city (Kahn, 2007). Typical examples of green-city are Copenhagen (Denmark), Bristol (UK), Barcelona (Spain) (Anguelovski et al., 2018; Brüel, 2012; Ersoy and Larner, 2020). Besides, eco-city is known as a "circular" urban environmental system in which inputs (resources) and outputs (wastes) are minimized (Register, 1987). Curitiba (Brazil), Freiburg (Germany), Stockholm (Sweden) and Adelaide (Australia) are considered the top eco-cities in the world (Kaltenegger and Fink, 2016). In livable cities, livability refers to life quality achieved by city dwellers, including physical, social, spiritual and personal development factors founded on the principles: equity, dignity, accessibility, confidence, participation and empowerment (Cities, 2003). Sustainable cities aim to meet city residents’ basic needs: infrastructure, living facilities, health and medical care, housing, education, transport, employment, harmonious management coordination to ensure benefits for all social segments (Ibrahim et al., 2015), with representatives as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Copenhagen (Denmark). On the other hand, knowledge cities are oriented towards knowledge-based development by encouraging continuous creation, sharing, evaluation, innovation and regular knowledge updating (Ergazakis et al., 2004). With the explosion of modern technology, in order to meet human beings’ new needs in recent years, Industrial Revolution 4.0 impacts and strong digital transformation activities as well as solving the remaining problems in existing types of current cities and smart cities have become a development trend for many cities around the world. In fact, many approaches and definitions of smart cities (Wall and Stavropoulos, 2016) and city development towards smart cities is not the same in all countries and localities in the world. In the most general way, the authors approach a smart city as a city type that uses/applies modern technical technologies to effectively solve the existing problems within the city in the future through all resources that can be used/mobilized towards sustainable development and improving urban residents’ life quality. Currently, many cities in the world: London (UK), Paris (France), Singapore, Barcelona (Spain), Amsterdam (Netherlands) are always listed in the smart city rankings in the world. (Mancebo and Sustainability, 2020; Willems et al., 2017). It can be stated that city types (mentioned above) and other various city types in the world have been born and developed with the following purposes: (1) Solving the urban problems created during city operation progress faced by the urban population; (2) Meeting city population’s new needs or enhancing city’s unique values with the ultimate goal towards the sustainable development and improvement in urban dwellers’ life quality. The resolution of these urban problems must be consistent with the natural, economic, social and cultural characteristics of each city. That these actions create distinctive urban images can be considered as city typical identity during this time. These typical images are what each city needs to form, preserve and promote in order to create its own distinguished features and ensure competitiveness in socio-economic development process. Impacts of Industrial Revolution and Digital transformation to urban development From the end of 18th century to the beginning of 21st century, humanity has been through 03 Industrial Revolutions and is entering 4th Industrial Revolution (Industrial Revolution 4.0). Each subsequent industrial revolution, as a development to a new height, gradually completes the shortcomings or problems of the previous industrial revolution; concurrently, carrying certain impacts on urban development. Industrial Revolution 1.0 opened a new era in human history with new production technologies (mechanics, mechanization) leading to large-scale urbanization and contributing to urban growth (Bernhard et al., 2014). Industrial Revolution 2.0 has created new premises and solid foundations for further industrial development (automation in production, electrification of factories and modern production lines), creating development impetus for new urban areas, providing better living conditions as well as improved urban sanitation for workers, contributing to urban sprawl and clear distinction related to land use purposes (Bernhard et al., 2014). Industrial Revolution 3.0 has pushed humanity forward significantly, producing a more-interconnected-world through information technology (IT) development (also known as Digital revolution) as well as semiconductor, supercomputer, personal computer (1970s and 1980s) and Internet enhancement (1990s), radically changing the forces of production and all spheres of social life in all regions (rural and urban areas), creating favorable conditions for saving natural resources, social resources, changing the structure of social production and so on, causing cities to return to the city with more compact structure, the need to develop sustainable city types to ensure residents’ life quality as a prerequisite for governments to choose. During this period, compact cities or eco-cities have begun to develop strongly (Bernhard et al., 2014). Inheriting from human development, Industrial Revolution 4.0, gradually appearing with blurring boundaries among physical, digital and biological fields, is considered as one multi-technology fusion and with the world center. Technology development creates entirely new production possibilities with a profound impact on economic, political and social life of the whole world (Schwab, 2017). Some typical technologies can be mentioned: big data, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of things (IoT), blockchain, 3D printing technology, virtual reality. Industrial Revolution 4.0 is taking place; consequently, it is not possible to summarize all the impacts on urban development. However, Industry Revolution 4.0 has promoted the urban type development: smart cities and ubiquitous cities. The factors of sustainable development and population’ life quality have become the development focus point towards cities and other regions; therefore, this industrial revolution can bring the industry with clean production technologies with more environmentally-friendly feature with less adverse effects on additional land uses, like housing, compared to previous production technologies. Digital transformation - one basic toolbar must be implemented thoroughly and effectively to develop in accordance with the current trend in Technology Revolution 4.0. Digital transformation is defined as the use of data and digital technology to completely and comprehensively change all aspects of socio-economic life, reshaping the way we live, work and relate to each other (N.T, 2020). Digital transformation needs to be distinguished from Digitization – a concept that exists in two forms: data digitization and process digitalization (Rijswijk et al., 2020). Data digitization is the transformation conversion from a physical or analog signal to a digital format (Autio et al., 2017). Meanwhile, process digitization is the process of applying digital technology to optimize existing processes in an urban area by flexibly and effectively coordinating between smart services, improving existing provided services (Talwar et al., 2020), increasing residents’ experience (Verhoef et al., 2021). Data digitization and process digitization are both seen as an important part of digital transformation, enabling a wide range of digital transformation activities whereas digital technologies of greater complexity are selected to create interactions on different subjects, for example, between digital technology, institutions, people, organizations, environment and so on. From this foundation, digital transformation is a required transformation to promote the process digitalization based on digital policies (Bertola et al., 2018). Digital transformation is the most profound stage to identify new business models by logically deploying intelligent services (Verhoef et al., 2021), also, digital transformation also alters the way knowledge of how cities/municipalities are operating while going beyond process digitization by changing fundamental tasks and processes within the city/urban (Caponio et al., 2015). Digital transformation process and technology development introduce positive improvements towards sustainable urban development aspects (Vial, 2019). From an economic perspective, the modern city is seen through a digital lens, leading to changes in urban economy in all developed countries and some developing countries (Vrchota et al., 2019). Digital transformation also plays a role in developing social justice within the city: creating new jobs, increasing labor productivity, work efficiency, service quality and so on (OECD, 2019b). Meanwhile, digital transformation also makes an important contribution to the sustainable development of the urban environment (Feroz et al., 2021): applications of AI, Big data, IoT for environmental sustainability improvement (Balogun et al. 2020), infectious water-borne disease identification (Goralski and Tan, 2020), carbon emission reduction and waste minimization into the environment (Demartini et al., 2019) and so on. It should be stated that Digital transformation plays an important role for urban development in Industry Revolution 4.0 era, stemming from the desire of solving thoroughly the existing problems in urban areas to form a unique identity of the city/urban in handling selected problems.

Despite the alarming rise in cases of fraud, digital currencies remain a phenomeon and a global trend. Stage 1: Idea formation (1995 – 1998) The idea of a new digital currency was first mentioned in the late 80s of the last century, when people envisioned a form of currency that could be sent without leaving a trace and without the need to go through centralized systems (banks) to authenticate transactions. In 1995, an American cryptologist called David Chaum implemented an anonymous form of cryptocurrency called Digicash. This is considered an early form of electronic payments that requires users to install software to be able to withdraw money from banks and needs to be encoded into a string of characters before being sent to another person. Before cryptocurrencies started their era in 2008, it can be said that the forerunners of Bitcoin were Digicash and Bit Gold. Bit Gold, commonly known as the forerunner of Bitcoin, was designed in 1998 by Nick Szabo. It requires participants to provide computing power to solve cryptographic problems, and the solvers receive rewards. If we combine the ideas of Chaum and Szabo together, it will create a product that is almost similar to today's Bitcoin. However, one thing that Szabo cannot solve is that electronic transaction data can be copied easily without a centralized system to manage and control. It was not until a decade later that an anonymous person with the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper titled “Bitcoin – A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System”, opening the official era of cryptocurrencies. Stage 2: The beginning (2008 – 2010) On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto – the pseudonym of a group of anonymous programmers published a whitepaper about the Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer system of digital currency, in which he described the functions of Blockchain in the Bitcoin. It can be seen that Satoshi’s group had started the Bitcoin project since August 18, 2008, when they bought the domain name Bitcoin.org. Another interesting thing to consider is that, but for the Blockchain technology, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would not have been created. The history of the Bitcoin began from there onwards. Satoshi Nakamoto “dug” the first block of the Bitcoin network on January 3, 2009. The first block of 50 Bitcoin is considered the Genesis Block, and January 12 marked the first transaction with 10 Bitcoin from Nakamoto to Hal Finney, a computer programmer. Bitcoin seemingly had no value in the first few months of its apparance. Six months after the currency came to transaction, the value of a Bitcoin was even less than 14 cents. In May 2010, the most expensive pizza in history was bought with 10.000 Bitcoin, and till the beginning of November, the value of Bitcoin increased to 36 before stabilizing at 29 cents. Stage 3: The formation of the market (2010 – 2013) Despite not being popular among the public, Bitcoin showed that its value could increase rapidly. In February 2011, the price of a Bitcoin increased to $1.06 and when the article about cryptocurrencies appeared on the Forbes (the US), it even rose to $8.89 in late May. After an article was published on gawker.com about the attractiveness of cryptocurrencies in the community of online drug traffickers in June 2011, the price of a Bitcoin reached $27, tripling itself in just three weeks. The total transaction value of Bitcoin reached $130 million. Nevertheless, it reduced to around $4.77 in September. At this point, while Bitcoin is criticized for being used in the transactions on the dark webs like Silk Road, other cryptocurrencies were established: Litecoin, Namecoin, and Swiftcoin, pressuring the market. The total market capitalization of Litecoin ranked second in the market, followed by Namecoin and seven other cryptocurrencies. In 2012, the price of the Bitcoin rose constantly and the Bitcoin Foundation was established in September in order to promote the development and application of this cryptocurrency. Also in this year, another cryptocurrency called Ripple was established and funded by adventurous investors. In 2013, the owners of the Bitcoin failed to agree on new trading rules, leading to a Bitcoin fork and blockchains are split into two separate operating networks. Simultaneously, many different countries around the world looked for the best way to deal with cryptocurrencies. Thailand banned on the use of Bitcoin under any circumstances and announced that it is illegal to conduct transactions using cryptocurrencies. The German Minister of Finance does not accept Bitcoin as an official currency but may view it as a unit of account in order to prepare a future regulatory framework for taxing Bitcoin-based transactions. Similar to Thailand, the People's Bank of China (PBC) banned financial institutions from using Bitcoin and this has significantly reduced the value of the cryptocurrency. However, in Vancouver in Canada, by contrast, the first automatic teller machine (ATM) with Bitcoin was installed. Stage 4: A boom in fraud (2014 – 2015) The anonymity and a decentralized attestation system make cryptocurrencies lucrative investments and opportunities for criminals. In January 2014, Mt.Gox, the largest Bitcoin exchange at the time collapsed and had to declare bankruptcy, causing 850,000 Bitcoin losses to investors. Although it is impossible to know exactly what happened, many people believe that investors' Bitcoins on the Mt.Gox exchange have been stolen over time since 2011 and resold on other exchanges to exchange for cash, resulting in  investors finding themselves empty-handed upon checking their “e-wallets” one day. In 2015, a security flaw caused the Bitstamp exchange in Europe to be hacked, but fortunately the system recovered a few days later and no customers were harmed. It can be seen that the attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges are not just isolated events but are increasingly becoming a major threat to investors. Some exchanges now offer insurance packages for investors should similar situations happen. In addition, crypto traders are advised to use hardware wallets or software wallets to store cryptocurrency instead of leaving it on the exchange. Stage 5: Cryptocurrency becomes a phenomenon and a global trend (2016 – 2020) In 2016, cryptocurrencies continued to become a mainstream in the financial technology sector. The number of ATMs to withdraw cash from Bitcoin increased from 500 to a little fewer than 900 in just one year. The famous ride hailing service company Uber in Argentina switched to Bitcoin payment and the national train system in Switzerland also allowed customers to pay with Bitcoin. At this point, the price of Bitcoin was steadily increasing every year The price of Bitcoin at this time was also increasing every year, from $434 at the beginning of 2016 to $998 in January 2017. Also in 2017, Bitcoin underwent an upgrade to create a new blockchain fork, which was Bitcoin cash, in order to increase the system processing capacity on a large scale. Bitcoin user community gradually expanded across the continents. Japan passed a law allowing Bitcoin to become legal tender for payments and Skandiabanken in Norway integrated Bitcoin accounts into the payment system and regarded Bitcoin as an investment asset in the market. Another cryptocurrency that emerged strongly in 2017 and took second place in the market was Ethereum. The outstanding feature of this coin is that the smart contract is integrated into the system, creating the potential to be used for many different projects. However, there were also many other cryptocurrency systems that competed with Ethereum like Cardano or Tezos, causing the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies to grow rapidly. In 2018, Samsung, the world's leading electronics group confirmed that it was producing microprocessors for cryptocurrency mining. Many governments in Europe worked together to create specific regulations for this currency as well as to form new initiatives for national and regional monetary systems. Facebook announcing the Libra coin project and China being forecasted to be the first economy to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC) are two of the most important events in 2019. Although Bitcoin was gradually seen as an investment asset in the market, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) completely banned the form of Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (Bitcoin ETF) from appearing on the market. This year, the world also witnessed a series of cryptocurrencies exchanges being attacked despite previous warnings about cybersecurity and security holes. In 2020, the Bitcoin price continued to rise and broke a series of previous records. The total capitalization of Bitcoin is around $500 billion with the price of each Bitcoin approaching $30,000 by year-end. The trend of issuing CBDCs from China spread to many countries around the world, but it was the Bahamas that was the first country in the world to officially launch a CBDC called Sand Dollar, which is also based on blockchain technology. In December 2020, Coinbase exchange announced plans to make the initial public offering (IPO) and listed on the US stock exchange with a valuation of about $28 billion. The Fortune magazine commented that this was an important milestone for the cryptocurrencies industry, opening up transparency in the management of cryptocurrencies exchanges in the future.

Education is one highly competitive business and Smart University is born as an alternative to traditional universities. Upon synthesizing theoretical foundations, analyzing and inheriting from previous studies, the authors from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has conducted one research on analyzing the opportunities and the challenges towards UEH in particular and those of other universities in general during this ‘becoming-intelligent’ process. From this foundation, this author group would like to suggest some solutions towards Smart University development. Smart University – Inevitable transformation of education industry in the 4.0 era In the current period of rapid technological development, education, admittedly, is one highly competitive business. To adapt to Industrial revolution 4.0, universities have been adjusting their operational strategies to survive. Smart University was born as an alternative to traditional universities. With Smart University, technology becomes an integral tool towards learning, researching, serving learning and other related tasks; concurrently, accumulation and restructuring processes towards becoming a Smart University have been considered as an inevitable process that universities will have to go through in the future. Smart Library at UEH At current universities in Vietnam, the application of information technology in particular and that of 4.0 technology in general are being limited without synchronization. Therefore, the transition implementation from a traditional university to smart university is being in its early stage. The formulation and development of a strategy serving the change-promoting process towards Smart University is an urgent but open issue although these issues have received much attention from academic communities from many countries around the world. Approaching Smart University by means of comprehensive digital transformation On behalf of UEH researcher team on Smart University issue, Dr. Bui Quang Hung – Vice President of UEH – illustrated: “Smart University concept, actually, can be approached from various perspectives. From the perspective of what UEH is performing and researching, Smart University concept is generalized as a higher education institution oriented to digital transformation and applying digital infrastructure, digital human resources, digital data, digital technology to provide personalized learning services to all learner generations, meeting the requirements of lifelong learning and sustainable development. This is a very important idea aiming at building a Smart University. In other words, " being smart - smartness", to put it more simply, refers to innovative solutions for handling problems and challenges arising during university operation for its sustainable development. It should be noted that technology tool, in Smart University, is to help solve problems; it does not mean that applying technology equals to being smart. It is the Innovative solutions to university challenges is labeled smart.” QR code system integration for booking and book borrowing at UEH Smart Library Besides the components similar to those of traditional universities, Smart Universities comprise the major specialized components. Nguyen Huu Duc et al. (2020), on researching on smart university implementation in Vietnam, proposed a model of fundamental elements of smart university (V-SMARTH model) including as follows: Digital Resources: Being the fundamental element of Smart University and online teaching-and-learning. Digital resources refer to the use of digital textbooks with many features superior to traditional textbooks and electronic textbooks (e-textbooks); listing as: directly monitoring and managing the learning process and academic results, assessment and testing outcomes; allowing connections to external learning resources. In particular, both teachers and learners can develop this digital resource. Open educational content: Being an important feature in Smart-University-mission implementation regarding flexible and personalized training. Open educational content consists of: open learning materials; open information, online MOOC lectures, open training programs and mobile contents and so on. In addition, digital resources refer to the reosurce connection among different universities, in which shared culture is considered as a criterion in evaluating the quality and effectiveness of Digital resources. Virtual educational environment: Being an environment that allows to combine teaching and assessment activities on an online platform with a variety of classroom models (common class, special class, integrated classroom and creative experiential classroom) with different teaching-learning methods (problem-based teaching, project-based teaching, discussion, interdisciplinary integration, experiential teaching and learning) as well as additional facilities; listing as: virtual labs, virtual libraries and virtual learning devices. In addition, Virtual educational environment also provides online monitoring, testing and assessment to help assess learners more flexibly and comprehensively. Tailored (Personalized) Learning Needs: Reinforcing the flexibility of the education system and building customized curriculum that aligns with personal interests and future-oriented careers. Teaching and learning can follow a fixed route with many forms (online or face-to-face) or an individual-oriented program depending on interests, needs and abilities. Interactive Educational Environment: Referring to teaching learning through an interactive web platform. This interaction includes interaction between learners and teachers, interactions among learners and interactions between learners and digital resources. This learning type can take place anywhere with full contents. This interaction not only promotes sharing and a culture of sharing but also brings downsides regarding copyright, intellectual property, ethics and academic integrity. Digital infrastructure: Referring to digital legal infrastructure assurance, digital human resource infrastructure, digital data infrastructure and digital technology infrastructure are for Smart University development. Nguyen Huu Duc et al. (2020), with the purpose of intelligence level assessment of Smart University, proposed the 5-level intelligence of Smart University as follows: Connection - information acquisition and connection; Conversion - information transformation and digitization; Cyber ​​- analysis and diagnosis; Cognition - identification and prediction; Configuration - optimization. Level 1 – Information acquisition and connection (Connection): University systems are capable of collecting information and connecting stakeholders in learning-related issues; listing as: learning environment, teaching methods, learning objects, teachers’ teaching styles. These systems can be customized to adapt to different devices (for example: computers, tablets, phones or other operating systems like iOS and Android). In addition, the systems are capable of acquiring and managing information regarding all objects, events and processes on campus. For example, sensors are used to record data concerning the surrounding environment (for example: electricity usage, lights, temperature, humidity and so on). Smart card readers are to open doors of lecture halls, computer rooms, classrooms and enable features/software/hardware. Facial, voice, and gesture recognition systems and corresponding devices are to retrieve and process data; listing as: attendance, class activities and so on. Level 2 – Conversion - information transformation and digitization (Conversion): From the information collected and managed at level 1, systems in level 2 have the ability to connect them together and bring statistical results. For example: students’ degree of attendance, students’ academic results, lecturers’ sum of teaching hours, students’ assessment regarding lecturers in-charge, students’ registration level by individual lecturer, current situation related to classroom and laboratory usage. Level 3 – Analysis and diagnostics (Cyber): From analysis results at level 2, the system at level 3 has the ability to analyze, make diagnoses and learn from the results so as to perfect the system. For example: (i) After collecting data on students’ learning outcomes, this system is able to analyze the reasons why students do not get better results; listing as: studying too many subjects in a semester, missing too many lessons or (ii): From collecting information related to classes with too few students registering, the system can analyze reasons: listing as: lecturers’ quality, unsuitable class time for students and so on. Level 4 – Identification and prediction (Cognition): After obtaining the analysis results from level 3, the system at level 4 will use these results to forecast possible outcomes and provide solutions. For example, this system is capable of predicting students’ academic results and lecturers’ teaching quality (student participation, student understanding) as well as the enrollment management system to predict and control changes in annual student numbers, to forecast on which resources students spend most time and to ask instructors to provide additional resources sharing similar relevant properties or Campus-wide Safety System to predict, identify and response appropriately and inappropriately within UEH campus. Level 5 – Optimization (Configuration): Smart University has the ability to self-change, optimize and self-maintain the internal structure purposefully. For example, the system automatically identifies systems, parameters, sensors and features in a smart classroom that are appropriate for the subject, class characteristics, instructors in the way that  sensors determine whether students are in the classroom or not or whether all lights are on pr not and so on and adjust accordingly; the system automatically redefines the system, hardware, software and features in an appropriate smart classroom that is suitable for each lecturer, self-healing systems in case of an incident (for example: the server automatically being locked and self-recovering when a virus invades and so on). Comprehensive digital transformation towards Smart University: From the case of University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City to solution proposal for universities in Vietnam In accordance with the assessment regarding current deployment status of existing commercial University components at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - UEH following V-SMARTH model (Nguyen Huu Duc et al., 2020), UEH is classified in a group of universities that are ready to be smart in the transition from a traditional university to a smart university through a large proportion of lecturers and administrators participating in this digital transformation process, a part of the activities have been standardized while a few have been quantified. Practical experiences and implementation at UEH have been further shared by Dr. Bui Quang Hung – UEH Vice President as follows: Dr. Bùi Quang Hùng – UEH Vice President * Dear Dr. Bui Quang Hung, would you kindly share further information regarding the current situation of Smart University deployment at Ho Chi Minh University of Economics in the recent years? Dr. Bui Quang Hung: It could be stated that digital transformation at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City was deployed very early, more than 10 years ago. Until the present time, UEH has had more than 60 applications in all activities from teaching, research and administration besides digital transformation campaigns serving the community. In terms of UEH priority in the next 5 years, UEH does aim at Smart university components: 1st: To develop a digital technology platform in a sustainable way; 2nd: To develop Digital communication; 3rd: To enhance the learning environment experience at UEH; 4th: To upgrade digital support in management, teaching and learning; 5th: To promote scientific research management towards technology application, digital transformation and AI orientations; 6th: To develop community relationships. For example, UEH recently organized a project to support high schools in digital transformation implementation towards teaching and learning in Covid-19 pandemic context. Way Finding system at UEH campuses (Intelligent guidance system to the nearest Lecture halls, Offices, Functional Boards and Bus routes) * Smart Universities are, definitely, the destination for sustainable development and innovation in higher education in the context of the industrial revolution 4.0. From UEH implementation experience, which solutions would you kindly suggest towards a Smart University in Vietnam? Dr. Bui Quang Hung: “I would like to raise some solutions from my personal. First, from management agency perspective, we have discussed too much about smart universities; however, a complete collection of indicators or models for a smart university has not been introduced yet. This is an important foundation for the State to grant certain investment levels for universities; especially, public universities that are implementing digital transformation. Second, as far as we are concerned, there must be technology application in digital transformation. The fact that funding for this is an investment, not an annual expenditure requires a lot of money. This should demand investment from the State, a socialization mechanism in digital transformation at universities. Third, human resources, in my opinion, plays the very important role; especially, leadership and manager teams in digital transformation implementation. What I mostly emphasize is the role of senior leaders in inspiring, sharing vision, leading as well as supporting university members towards digital transformation implementation. In the digital transformation in universities, as I did mention above, technology issue is not important; what matters is the "soft" factor, rather than the human issue, that decides the success of this digital transformation process”. Fourth, it is necessary to have a strategy and a plan for digital transformation. It should be emphasized that we must have the right approach from the beginning so as not to waste time in the approaching process or funding investment. My point of view is that: to do first what is easy whereas what is complicated is saved for later. It is necessary to gradually increase the whole university-team consensus because the digital transformation process takes time, Fifth, the need for internal communication is completely crucial because this factor determines awareness, initiative and consensus of the entire staff in accepting and agreeing to be ready for changes related to digital conversion. Sixth, each university, along with the digital transformation process, must build and apply a modern university governance model. Last but not least, seventh, that digital transformation means security risks is related to the process of information technology application and information security assurance. This issue must be paid attention to during digital conversion process”. To sum up, accumulation and restructuring process to become Smart University is considered an inevitable process that universities should have to go through in the future. Currently, many opportunities are available for Smart University development in Vietnam: listing as: timely and correct direction of the State towards the transformation of higher education institutions, human resources at university educational institutions or strengths in technology application in Vietnam. Nevertheless, along with advantages above, there exist many challenges in leadership, strategy development, employees’ consensus towards change acceptance, information security issue; especially, the issues related to digital transformation cost.

In addition, CBDC also benefits the wholesale and the interbank payments. Currently, 88% of the CBDC projects use blockchain technology for the experiment and maintenance of their systems. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a central bank-issued digital currency that has a national unit of account and represents the central bank's debt obligations. There are two types of CBDC coins that are currently popular in the world: retail CBDC and wholesale CBDC. “Retail” CBDCs serve end users (such as households and businesses) for everyday payment purposes, as an alternative to coins and paper money. CBDC is different from money transfers, e-wallets, and payment cards because CBDCs are direct debt obligations of the central bank, while other forms are debt obligations of intermediary financial institutions. Retail CBDC projects will often aim to expand people and businesses' access to financial services, help improve microfinance and improve labor productivity. “Wholesale” CBDCs are used primarily in the interbank market. Designed for use between central banks and commercial banks to clear large amounts of money. This form of CBDC is similar to reserve money and current accounts at central banks. This “wholesale” CBDC is also used in the modern financial system, where tokens with algorithms automatically process smart contracts to review the financial position of financial institutions and central banks. As of April 2021, according to PriceWaterHouseCooper (2021), there are more than 60 central banks in the world that have conducted CBDC research and some countries have implemented CBDC in practice. In addition, the wholesale CBDC projects have not achieved significant success, only about 70% of the projects are announced to be experimental, and almost no country has implemented the wholesale CBDC. Bahamas and Cambodia are two countries that have put digital currency into circulation In terms of technology infrastructure, 88% of CBDC projects use blockchain technology for testing and maintaining the digital currency system. The blockchain system has many outstanding advantages such as high security, transactions automation by smart contracts, the convenience for auditing and monitoring transactions, secured personal information, and it is very easy to convert with other digital assets. Blockchain technology has been forecasted to be the financial revolution of the society, helping to improve the speed and cost of transactions while eliminating intermediaries, making the public financial market transparent and accessible to the majority of the population. CBDCs can improve the efficiency and safety of both retail payment systems and high-value wholesale payment systems Currently, the use of cash is decreasing because it is now much easier to pay by card or through mobile applications. Although it is very unlikely that the central bank will remove cash from the payment system, it is still possible because of the negative effects of cash. Cash is difficult to track by nature, so it is often used for tax evasion, money laundering and illicit transactions. Cash also creates a security risk in the monetary movement and payments. Therefore, future governments want to get rid of cash to reduce crime and improve their tax collection. Therefore, cryptocurrencies are created by the Central Banks to ensure that they still play a role in the function of money. Based on technology, CBDC can improve the efficiency and safety of both retail payment systems and high-value wholesale payment systems. On the retail side, this digital currency could improve the efficiency of payments. For example, payment at point of sale (POS), online and peer to peer (Peer to Peer – P2P). CBDCs can also be beneficial for wholesale and interbank payments; another example is that it can facilitate faster settlement and extend processing time. Transactions on CBDC are usually done based on Tokens issued by the Central Banks. Like Bitcoin, this approach will use a form of distributed ledger technology (DLT) to verify ownership of each token and validate payment transactions without requiring direct participation by any other clearing agency. However, in contrast to Bitcoin and other virtual currencies, the Central Banks determine the supply of the CBDC token. They will be fixed in nominal terms and treated as legal tender. Furthermore, the Central Banks can establish transparent procedures for transactions, updates, and integration of other transactions into these distributed ledgers (DLTs).

In developed countries around the world, big data has been applied to calculate consumer price index and achieved outstanding results. Acknowledging the necessity and relevance of global trend and aiming at contributing a part to the big data mining experience in Vietnam, the authors from UEH School of Technology and Design conducted “Big data mining in consumer price index calculation in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City case)” research. This article introduces price-collecting method from websites for consumer price index calculation besides challenges as well as presenting recommendations for quality improvement towards current consumer price information collection. Current traditional consumer price index approaches Consumer prices and consumer price index play a crucial role in management and administration of State’ macro policies; listing as: policies on monetary and financial management, inflation management, banking interest rate adjustments, exchange rate adjustments, regional socio-economic development policies, salary policies and so on, all of which contribute to the development of production and business activities and international trade. Consumer price index (CPI) is the relative indicator (in %) that reflects the trend and level of consumer price fluctuations of items over time in a representative basket of consumer goods and services. Consumer price refers to the amount of money that a consumer has to pay when purchasing a unit of a good or service that is directly used in daily life. Consumer price is expressed as the goods’ retail prices on the market or those of services serving people' daily life. In the case that goods or services are to be without a listed price that the buyer can bargain, the consumer price is the price that the buyer actually pays after negotiating with the seller. In Vietnam, statistical information on consumer price index is collected from consumer price survey conducted by General Statistics Office in all 63 Provinces and Cities and published monthly on the last day of the month. In consumer price survey plan for 2014-2019 period, Statistics Department conducted a consumer price survey by sampling method a basket of 654 goods and services at stalls and stalls at markets, selling venues (specializing in retail), business and service establishments and so on that have stable business locations. Goods and services in goods basket are divided into 3 main groups: The 1st group only investigates once a month on the 10th of every month; The 2nd group will survey 3 times a month on the 1st, 10th and 20th of every month; The 3rd group will be conducted in accordance with the number of occurrences in the month. On the other hand, the traditional survey method also has some shortcomings. Firstly, questionnaire collection at local places faces many difficulties, especially, the collection time taking place on public holidays, Tet or social-distancing implementation local time and so on causes the fact that most businesses will not open for sale and the prices of goods and services often have large fluctuations at these times, all of which are also a limitation that needs to be dealt with. Secondly, non-sampling errors still arise during collection process. Thirdly, processing difficulties related to goods and services with short life cycles do not exist at survey period and many new goods arise during the survey period. In addition, problems regarding survey funding, sample selection and number calculation of local stabilized-goods selling venues, settlement concerning stores in survey sample that are increasingly narrowing their business, decreased market share and so on are additional difficulties during data collection in accordance with traditional survey method. Approaching consumer price index from Big Data mining in digital era Industrial revolution 4.0 foundation, along with digital economy development, has created new data sources – an amazing opportunity for statistics industry to improve quality and efficiency of information collection mission. This online source of price data will help price statistics to measure price changes more accurately, expand sample size, identify substitutes accurately based on consumer behavior, precisely measure price changes, reduce or eliminate dependency from respondents and reduce survey costs. In addition, data sources collected from Web sites will help to improve collection time with more details in quantity and diversity, higher more data collection frequency without increasing costs. To find out the process and calculating method regarding Consumer Price Index in accordance with big data approach, the authors conducted researches and collected information from 28 websites of companies and E-commerce platforms with 246,069 items. Online source of price data will present a beneficial opportunity for statistics industry to deal with the challenges that traditional consumer price statistics are facing. Price collecting method from big data has a much bigger number of items than those of the traditional method, approximately 250,000 items in a 3-month period; therefore, CPI calculated from big data implies that fluctuations concerning market price fluctuations are more sensitive and stable. If an item in the goods basket of traditional CPI (especially those only collected within 1-month period) fluctuates strongly (increased or decreased deeply), overall CPI will be greatly affected. Big data, on the other hand, won't be impacted greatly as a lot of other goods in the same group are collected without any big volatility. In addition, collecting method from big data is more representative in terms of sample because the fact that the prices of all goods are collected implies that the sample can be considered as representative of all the goods available in the market. For traditional CPI, in contrast, the goods basket is updated every 5 years; consequently, many popular consumer goods have appeared on the market but not been updated. Moreover, that the goods basket size is only 654 popular representative consumer products indicates the lack of more complete goods basket compared to the constant fluctuation reality of the market. Data source Operation and exploitation in consumer price index calculation Mining big data for statistics is a new content, human resources in this field are being in lack of in quantity besides certain limitations in quality. System operation, software development, data mining and so on are necessary skills to perform this job well. Therefore, educational institutions need to improve their training quality as well as training programs must adhere to reality and meet job requirements. On that basis, the trainees are able to handle practical problems related to big data during their being recruited. At the same time, our State should to develop a coordination mechanism and create favorable conditions for a close relationship between the employers and UEH. Regarding training organizing, for statistics industry, it is necessary to focus on training, capacity and skill improvement, information technology level application enhancement, knowledge and skill equipment related to data for specialized staff performing professional work as well as information technology workers in the whole industry. Researching and applying data science and modern advanced technologies, suitable for statistical work in Vietnam. Mentioning big data, a mostly-referred concept is Machine learning (ML) that teaches computers to do what naturally humans can do. The key is to learn from experience. Currently, the authors are manually performing item coding in accordance with the representative good-and-service list (commodity code level 5) of consumer price index. Economic subdivision and data coding are routine, necessary and essential statistical work to ensure that all collected data are comparable. Therefore, if researches can apply machine learning algorithms in data encryption work, the massive workload will be greatly reduced. From authors’ suggestion, first, it is possible to choose a small sample in the data set for encryption experts; second, conduct algorithms to help the machine learn the work and experience from experts’ encrypted models; finally, use this machine learning technique to classify or encode the rest of the data using the work learned from experts’ coding. During the implementation process, to ensure accuracy and reliability of encrypted data, it is possible to repeat the operation many times: choosing a small sample, machine learning, expanding the sample for coding machine, checking samples, deploying the whole data if the rate is satisfactory, expanding the samples so that the machine learns more if the rate is unsatisfactory and so on. Automatic coding like the above process will help earlier data compilation and publication; therefore, the published data will become more valuable to users. Machine Learning is a mostly-mentioned concept when it comes to big data (Big data). What is more, Big Data exploitation and analysis requires a well-developed information technology infrastructure and outstanding technologies. To develop this field, it is necessary to focus on developing investment in computing infrastructure: upgrading information technology infrastructure, leasing information technology infrastructure to serve the information collection system by electronic ballot; capacity enhancement of Server Center; emphasizing on implementing an online information collection system on websites and processing information in real time; building an overall architecture so that the system is open, ready to integrate, upgrade and expand the system in necessity. In terms of funding, most modern information technology systems often require high costs, in addition to additional costs (for example: operation and maintenance costs, especially, the cost of operating systems, software copyright, safety equipment, network security and so on). Therefore, upon information extraction deployment from big data, it is necessary to consider investment effectiveness. Besides, it is necessary to pay attention to other alternative data source supplement: data sources from providers and E-commerce market development, factors that have contributed to quality improvement regarding consumer price index. Along with digital era development, Big Data advent is an opportunity in boosting the economy if we should acknowledge how to take full advantage.

Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology [Vietnamnet News] - Direct learning in the new normal needs to follow Covid-19 risk reduction keywords, which is a 5K-combination technology in a broad sense for all-level education system. Provinces have gradually come back to the new normal. The expanded immunization policy for 12-17 year-old genre is starting to roll out, opening the prospect that students will soon return to face-to-face schools. In the past 2 years, particularly almost this year, students had to stay at home without stopping studying because they have frequently studied online. Many parents, students, and even educators at all levels have believed that online learning is only a temporary solution to the crisis. However, Covid-19 is being present. Accompanying that is the rapid development of digital transformation achievements in all fields, including education, especially the large corporations’ working-from-home trend and the prospect that megacities (Ho Chi Minh City or Ha Noi Capital) will be again congested when everyone pours into the street at the same time, it is difficult to ensure the 5K principle. In that context, even with a high rate of vaccination coverage, taking advantage of digital technologies to learn in the new normal is inevitable. The technology here is that face-to-face learning has to be combined with deployed technologies supporting online platform teaching and will be able to reduce the learner flow to schools at all times; however, communicative abilities continue as normal. Consequently, compliance with 5K is only possible when learners have enough space to keep their distance from each other at school and in society. Flipped Classroom To do this, 3 face-to-face learning levels in the new normal are proposed as follows: Level 1: Perfecting face-to-face learning model with online educational platform assistance for all hierarchies. According to this model, the education system needs to improve and invest more in digital learning materials so that learners can approach online, instead of hard copy documents. Therefore, the learner-teacher interaction will take place on the web-enhanced support platform. Although the entire curriculum is taught face-to-face, the time spent in formal classrooms, with the support of online-based learning facilities, is minimized for almost all subjects. In particular, face-to-face learning with the online platform support should be prioritized for primary school students because this study level requires equipping primary pupils with initial background knowledge to be able to orientate their future knowledge discoveries that online learning impossibly replaces. After all, learners' skills and perceptions have not been firmly established. Level 2: Learning in a hybrid model which includes a face-to-face and online combination at a flexible ratio; depending on the specific learning levels, the online oscillation ratio can be from 20-50% for the new normal. Subjects requiring discussion, interaction, or experimentation or final grade subjects will be prioritized for face-to-face learning whereas primarily fixed-knowledge imparting subjects should be designed for online learning. Level 3: Applying blended learning model. Theoretically, this is the face-to-face and online combination; however, the curricular’s design follows flipped classroom principle. In terms of this principle, learners play a central role because they have to learn or absorb knowledge actively before going to class on an online platform; then, they will learn directly through interactive discussions and conclusions with lecturers. Learners will learn online via digital learning resources designed to match the curriculum with short videos, podcasts, case studies and individual or group assignments. After that, during direct learning in class, the main lesson topics are discussed, interacted with and summarized the lecturer’s effectiveness. Especially, the flipped classroom model will truly consider learners as initiating subjects and promote individuals’ and teamwork spirit’s creative potentials to generate a foundation motivating national innovation capacity in the long run. Promoting innovation To implement face-to-face and online learning at the above 3 levels, the education system has to invest in digital data warehouses not only for the whole system but also for all educational institutions at all levels. In addition, each educational institution must invest methodically in learner-friendly and effectively useful-for-lecturer E-learning platforms. The investment in designing curricula in accordance with the flipped classroom model must have a measurable outcome standard and a technology assessing learners’ cumulative outcome standards at all times for subjects and syllabi in a methodical manner through online approaches. Learning in the new normal is unnecessarily as the ordinary in-person learning following the traditional 100%-time mechanism as before; rather, requiring the education system to have a new learning approach through educational technology platforms comprising web-enhanced support, hybrid or blended. This technology-enabled learning approach will enhance the possibility for 5K-compliance learners when there are more spaces in the classroom due to the reduced volume of face-to-face learners. Simultaneously, minimizing face-to-face learning time will reduce traffic flow on streets during simultaneous rush hours. Particularly, learners and lecturers, thanks to this model,  are no longer shocked by obligatorily switching to online learning when suddenly responding to Covid-19 pandemic which may re-emerge when the pandemic level reaches orange or red under Resolution number 128. Last but not least, most importantly, direct learning with digital platforms and technology approaches, in the long run, will promote individual learners’ creativity in particular and the country in general.

The development and launch of a national digital currency will become even more urgent in the future when the majority of countries around the world have implemented digital currencies. CBDCs should be stablecoins – “sovereign” stable coins Cryptographic technology use by private digital currencies today plays an important element in monetary policy management; in other words, the currency sovereignty does not belong to Central bank; rather, the decentralized computer network. This fact will make it very difficult for monetary policy conduction in case of the necessity to increase or decrease the urgent currency supply. In a pure cryptographic system, currency supply is determined by Algorithms and cannot be altered without the consensus from the majority of computers. Some countries, due to the nature that the blockchain must be open and governed by many separate entities - an important issue in this technology, have initiated on combining cryptocurrencies with sovereign currencies. Issuing CBDCs as stablecoins avoids the risk of financial system destabilizing risk because of private currency flood A sovereign cryptocurrency is more likely to closely resemble a fiat-stable digital currency, commonly known as a stablecoin. These coins have been existing and are processed in the blockchain network; however, its value is pegged to the fiat currency of a particular country. One typical example is Tether (USDT), the world's top stablecoin within market capitalization at the time this podcast is being scripted. Each Tether unit is “pegged 1:1 to US dollar” and is “always valued by Tether at $1”. Consequently, the “stability” of this coin (if this description is to be eligible) relies on “reserves” of assets including “cash and cash equivalents”, which may include “other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to 3rd parties”. The numbers in Tether's assurance disclosure are periodically audited by a reputable auditing firm in the market. The fact that, Tether coin, concurrently, does not need to set up its own blockchain system but arranged "symbiotically" with other powerful blockchains already available on the market like Ethereum or TronX boosts Tether quickly become a popular stablecoin due to the unnecessity in creating a private blockchain network. The most important factor for a stablecoin is the transparency of the promise of “a 1:1 swap with fiat”. If the issuer is Central bank, this factor will be easily performed without any necessity for periodic audit conduction like Tether. Issuing CBDCs as stablecoins avoids the risk of financial system destabilizing because of private currency flood. Role allocation towards commercial banks in Digital currency system The idea of ​​a new digital-currency generation initiated is to eliminate financial intermediaries (e.g. commercial banks), to reduce transaction costs and to limit third-party intervention in transactions. In terms cryptocurrency developers’ hypothesis: if the currency is fully digitized, the traditional role of commercial banks will gradually fade or, even, disappear from the modern financial system. All traditional activities of commercial banks (listing as: mobilization - lending, payment services and so on) will be replaced by "smart contracts" with almost-absolute accuracy and trustworthiness. Commercial banks will have to allocate resources with challenges to survive and develop in the new era when digital financial services are free and financial data is transparent. The fact that the role of commercial banks in the new era can become transaction nodes of the blockchain system will validate transactions and be rewarded for their performance with new coins. Theoretically, commercial banks are acting as intermediaries for monetary policy implementation towards monetary-supply re-distribution; in fact; they, in reality, will shoulder the role of technical foundation for the new monetary system. Currency printing cost will be replaced by that of cryptographic-system monitoring and improvement as well as that of algorithm installation on blockchain network. Commercial banks will act as primary nodes (core nodes) whereas financial service providers as secondary nodes approaching the end-users. A digital currency system that ensures a safe transition from traditional 2-level monetary system (Central bank and commercial bank) should be encouraged to develop more in the context of potential risks related to the technical aspect of the blockchain system. Optimal algorithm perfection towards monetary policy Within cryptocurrency contexts, all data regarding spending, investment, interest rates, exchange rates as well as all big data related to one economy’s financial situation are updated as soon as possible. That creates a great motivation for a "smart" monetary policy design that automatically adjusts to money supply and demand as well as potential risks. An economy with an "automatic" monetary policy will help its financial system be stable and self-balanced under the supervision from Central bank with strengthened transparency, independence and management efficiency. Multi-target monetary policy is often a defect of traditional economics as it is difficult for the operator to make decisions in case of diverse variable fluctuations in this economy. A digital currency system will help regulate the money supply in a rhythmic and appropriate way, in accordance with a pre-programmed and widely publicized algorithm besides network supervision - a modern monetary system capable of solving multiple equilibrium equations and optimization problems concurrently quickly and accurately in comparison to human subjectivity. CBDC Distribution Model (Source: Author) Liberalization betterment of microfinance services One genuine power of the new cryptocurrency generation is unleashing non-traditional business ideas with the help of “smart contracts”. All transactions in the economy are pre-programmed without human intervention or extreme trust; in which, microfinance ideas will be implemented quickly and efficiently. Strong microfinance development will accelerate financial development and directly promote economic growth. Can only this prospect be achieved if entrance barriers into the financial markets are removed, the regulatory framework is clearly regulated and fraudulent and criminal activities are monitored by available mechanisms. One initial concern of governments around the world was that cryptocurrency anonymity could facilitate illegal activities and laundering. However, these doubts were quickly erased when these governments understood that the digital currency system, actually, has anti-crime features. Since all transaction data is permanently stored in the blockchain, investigators can conduct tracing to track down suspicious transactions, even, to recover exhibits. In September 2013, thanks to tracing illegal transactions, US FBI arrested the drug lord and recovered nearly $ 9.5 billion worth of illegal bitcoins. Sandbox mechanisms (experimental) should be encouraged for businesses to participate in cryptocurrency system operation. Legal provisions will be adjusted after the pilot process for creating a healthy and sustainable development environment towards CBDC digital currency. Typical applications of cryptocurrency technology should be widely fostered so that CBDC application can goes deeper into social life, helping to accelerate digital transformation for the real economy. Conclusion The intimate relationship between technology, currency and payment systems has been linked since the earliest days of human civilization. Over the past two decades, however, technology has reshaped money and payment systems at an unprecedented rate and speed. New generation digital currencies have challenged policymakers and regulators globally, representing a real threat to the traditional and slow to innovate financial system. However, this is an opportunity for the developing countries to revolutionize their monetary systems towards taking a shortcut to welcome a new era: the time that everything is digitally converted. Among CBDC implementations discussed above, the key parameters in choosing a particular cryptocurrency model should be determined by effectiveness and safety, supporting the decisions from Central banks and regulators. According to this model, stable currencies (stablecoins) are likely to be the core model for Central bank in building digital currencies in each country and region. Experiences in developing digital currencies at other countries indicate that there should be the participation of commercial banks as a bridge for the effective issuance of CBDC currency into circulation; besides, it is necessary to develop a market to use CBDCs for people to get familiar with how to use cryptocurrencies. The development and the launch of a national digital currency will become even more urgent in the future when the majority of countries around the world have started to deploy digital currencies; if not, the price for our reluctance to change and improve would be the prospect of being left behind in the economy as well as influenced in the new digital economic community.

Therefore, is this digital currency of the social networking Facebook Empire beyond governmental control? What policies will countries change to combat gold, dollarization, and even Diemization? Blockchain technology creates new options for decentralized international payments, linked to a specific fiat currency or a basket of fiat currencies that are calculated according to a certain algorithm. This software is to be applied into the global banking system which is relatively outdated; potentially, a much more payable trading means. In 2020, the largest producers in the world (BHP, Vale and Rio Tinto), have all completed their sale of iron ore on blockchains to Chinese companies. Singaporean banks are also involved in these transactions. Singapore has also been testing blockchain transactions with Sberbank from Russia. This technology can lead to all kinds of new payment channels. Diem currency, by Facebook, was renamed as Libra currency in 2020 Diem digitalized currency The participation of governments, reputable organizations in this chain is able to create multi-currency stable coins in the region; in other words, regional Bancor creation for international trade purposes. In fact, it is be possible to use the same technology on a larger scale. Right in America, in June 2019, Facebook revealed its plans to launch its own cryptocurrency (Libra coin, now renamed as Diem) in 2020, in combination with a global digital payment system and digital identity system, through Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram Pay. That Libra/Diem is aiming at its ​​ambitious goal of "creating a simple global monetary and financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people" immediately caught the attention of policymakers, central banks and regulatory agencies around the world. This announcement is groundbreaking, not because of Libra/Diem's ​​promise scope (which will revolutionize the payment system); rather, Facebook ability in living up to these claims due to their global-reaching capacity and collected-resources of the organizations supporting the project. Facebook and other members of the market established Libra association (currently, Diem association). Initial capital contribution for each member is 10 million USD with 100 members. Membership expansion or contraction depends upon Diem Association to maintain Libra/Diem value in stability. The number of newly-issued Diems is supported by as many as low-volatility financial assets (Treasuries of some major countries listing as: US, EU, UK, Japan and so on) are stored in reputable banks and organizations to guarantee Diem value. This is comparatively similar to that of the previous Gold standard; nevertheless, its operation nature is dependent upon the need to hold a portfolio of Treasuries to stabilize Diem value. Concurrently, this monetary system works in transaction-decentralization approach, not money creation. Therefore, the role of nominal money creation remains with Central bank. In addition to the benefits from the system and transaction function, digital currency helps to change the way of holding fiat money, which is used for global commercial payments. With this monetary system, individuals and businesses holding Diem as portfolios are backed up by governmental debts without traditional constraints. Laws and regulations in each country usually protect fiat currencies; therefore, being capable of limiting or prohibiting an individual or a business from using money to invest in Treasuries of other countries. Diem operation model will alter the way this asset has been held. Concurrently, holding these assets is used as one payment means besides value-storage function as an investment. Recently, in the financial market, the number of new buyers as individual and corporate investors has arisen besides mentioned-above traditional members. The current issue is whether each government will forbid their citizens from using currency of another country; however, is it possible to prevent citizens from holding Diem when the system is decentralized? Each country will have to change its policy to handle goldization, dollarization and; curently, Diemization. Potentiality and challenges The future development potential of Diem cryptocurrency is enormous due to five reasons as follows: 1st: The fact that community members within Diem association, as leading organizations in many fields, can apply Cryptocurrency directly in their fields would provide a solid first step towards attracting more organizations to Diem Blockchain network. These organizations also ‘lobby’ for relationships that help connect Diem with major global central banks. 2nd: Diem uses blockchain mechanism to ensure safety, transaction security and cost savings for users. 3rd: Diem has its own programming language attached to open-source Diem Blockchain so as to assist programmers and developers in easily creating applications based on smart contracts. 4th: The fact that Diem is guaranteed by stable assets with low volatility, helping to reduce exchange rate risk differentiates Diem from traditional Cryptocurrencies. 5th:  It is the large community of Facebook users as the foundation in creating a large user network in the first place for Diem. It goes without saying that Diem will be able to transform the world into a better place by transaction decentralization, technology platforms and additional benefit introduction to users with affordable fees. However, whether Diem goes to the final goal or not is a long story. Nevertheless, all subjects in Vietnamese economy and government need to be prepared a scenario for Diem success or another accepted cryptocurrency that will change the way the world is being operated currently. Diem stable digitalized currency will be presented in accordance with demands and support from governmental agencies From the above factors, it can be inferred the challenges that the current payment system is facing and barriers have been created in Diem implementation. As a result, Diem released 2.0 white paper to narrow down the initial ambition; instead, Diem has chosen several regions to issue new stable coins (like: DiemUSD. DiemEUR, DiemGBP and DiemSGD) for aggregation into one basket of digital currencies. Concurrently, Diem 2.0, supported by Swiss financial supervisory authority (FINMA or Financial Market Supervisory Authority), is to be regulated by this FINMA agency as well as other ways of international supervisory cooperation with supervisory units. Apparently, these steps are to ensure that Diem digital stable coins will be launched upon request and backing from government agencies. This design is a combination of government and private sector. This leads to the possibility of applying Diem framework towards governmental fiat money systems. Diem’s distinguished strongpoints in terms of practical application into CBDC General scope There are 3 approaches to come up with a stable digital currency: (1) Issuance of a government controlled digital currency; (2) Central bank accounts with indirect access; (3) New digital form of currency (Didenko & Buckley, 2018). Regarding Option (1), in terms of the typical example of Chinese CBDC, full management by a Central bank faces difficulties in implementation and maintenance in the long run. In case of an architecture that centralizes data in one place, system performance failures (like in the event of a cyber-attack or a lack of software updates) will have a direct impact on the economy with no server disruption so as to diversify risks and partially mitigate the impact of system failures. Little evidence has shown that central banks can effectively handle day-to-day operations of millions of retail customers, even less evidence proving that they have a desire to do so. Central banks tend to lack both infrastructure and expertise factors for that role. The complete elimination of intermediaries will require Central banks to significantly improve their operational capacity, credit scoring, anti-money laundering (AML) check and user information authentication (Know Your Customer – KYC), failed transaction reset and large-scale retail infrastructure construction; listing as: deploying ATMs and payment terminals. Very few Central banks have adequate resources and ultimate willingness to perform these tasks; even, having less desire to cause job loss in commercial banking sector although some have done so for their privileged clients. Public-private combination Due to these reasons, Central banks and regulatory agencies will be most likely be partners with commercial banks and technology companies in utilizing their existing infrastructure. In our view, if Diem and other stable coins are to be successful, it will be most likely a public-private partnership with central banks towards account provision and management whereas the private sector provide applications and operating platforms to customers. Therefore, the combination of options (2) and (3) is more likely to be prevailing. Regardless of the benefits, public-private partnerships can have downsides: Partnerships with private organizations can require more information sharing and affect many affiliated parties. Which is the trendy orientation: Diem Idea or CBDC? First, the biggest difference between Diem and CBDC is decentralization. Ledger technology will be working whether it is decentralized or not. Chinese CBDCs being tested are being governmental-controlled and centralized in nature; therefore, they can easily change the information on the blockchain. In the case of Diem, there is a higher decentralization-degree due to Libra/Diem association consisting of 10 different entities (at least, for the current time) and no or minor partnership. This implies that any change in blockchain data must receive 100% consensus from the association. From a transparency point of view, it is clear that Diem ​​idea will be supported. A more transparent monetary system will increase users’ confidence, which, in turn, will be the driving force to easily promote changes in monetary policy. Digitalization based on the number of debenture bonds possessed by governments As stated above, Diems are issued through government bond reserve and easily convertible from currency to Diems. This feature allows increased flexibility: if a user converts one currency to Diem, the association will use this currency to buy more government bonds and return it to the user in Diem; vice versa, the association will sell government bonds to pay the currency to users. In this way, government bonds indirectly increase their liquidity, the government will also easily raise capital and reduce issuance costs. All of these are conducted through technology. Similarly, digitizing Vietnam dong also requires Vietnamese government bond reserve. This phase will focus on realization and building solid infrastructure. Supplementing national governmental bond catalogue in digital currency internationalization If CBDC digital currency cannot circulate internationally, there will be many obstacles in the future. Therefore, this currency internationalization will require more parties to participate in the blockchain network of CBDC digital currency with enhanced transparency. In addition, this new basket of currencies will contain government bonds from those countries that have accepted digital currency issued by the country, they can quickly convert between digital currency and currency through changing government bond portfolio. This idea, based only on Bancor system, must be technicalized. Using the same currency will create many benefits, listing as: no need of trade transactions between currencies, quickly leading to saving costs. This will support CBDC issuer inclusion in the regional payments hub and provide leverage for further scaling.

Especially, some nations have been researching CBDC current classification in the long-term period with the purpose of assisting inter-bank payment system. Bahamas Bahamas, the leading country in implementing Digital currency issued by Central Bank digital currency (CBDC), tested Sand Dollar - a digital name for Bahamas Dollar - in December 2019. Only a short time later, this digital currency was officially released into circulation in October 2020 through local Authorized Financial Institutions (AFI). People can install E-wallets on personal mobile phones or via physical payment cards so as to receive digital money. All transaction data are stored daily so that Bahamian government can bring in more effective micro-financial policies. Bahamian government introduced Sand Dollar currency with the aim of: (i) improving efficiency of Bahamian payment system, (ii) improving local residents’ access to finance, (iii) enhancing prevention of money laundering and corruption. Bahamas deploys Digital currency named Sand Dollar Bahamian residents’ E-wallet is classified into 2 types as below: Type 1: $500-storage-limit, and $1.500-value-transaction per month, Type 1 requires neither clear identification nor bank account for use. Type 2: $8.000-storage-limit, and $10.000-value-transaction per month, Type 2 requires both clear identification and bank account for use. Cambodia Cambodian National Bank has been conducting research on digital currency since 2016 with Bakong project - an interbank payment system based on blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). Bakong name is taken from the ancient architectural symbol in Cambodian culture. This project is researched to establish prototype platforms within 2 years; after that, to test the integration into Cambodian infrastructure system before being used. Cambodian government called on a number of financial institutions and banks to participate in the testing trial and validation towards Bakong system in 2018. Campuchia is making efforts in eliminating ‘dollarization’ into national digital currency Bakong project applies DLT technology platform by Hyperledger Iroha. Hyperledger Iroha is a branch in an open-source project built by global developers to improve blockchain technology applicability in practice. Hyperledger Iroha thrives in Japan, consulted by SORAMITSU in building algorithms for security betterment and blockchain application in accordance with the needs of Cambodian market. Bakong project uses this platform to test both retail and wholesale CBDCs in Cambodian market. Bakong is a system of decentralized ledgers which contains data and connects all transactions in Cambodian economy until the present time. When a Cambodian resident transfers money from a bank account to a Bakong account, no fee is charged and vice versa. This amazingly comprehensive payment connectivity boosts Bakong implementation in practice to become easy and brings many practical benefits to Cambodian residents. Modern blockchain technology helps ensure safety, fast transaction processing speed, cost saving and information security for traders. China China, one of the world's largest economies, has been the earliest nation that implements digital currency into Chinese economy. Digial Yuan (NDT) Project was first announced by China in 2014; and officially, in April 2020, put into trial circulation in a number of major cities. Digital currency application in the economy is considered by Chinese government to support Chinese residents’ payments, enhancing the efficiency of financial markets, strengthening the local currency and improving international capabilities of Yuan currency. PBOC has begun to research digital Yuan currency since 2014 That Digital Yuan currency is designed with special features that can be traded online or offline aims at replacing paper money and coins in China nation. The fact that this digital currency is issued through intermediaries as commercial banks means that Central Bank of China will issue money to commercial banks, after that, the commercial banking system will forward it to end users. Therefore, the central bank will collect money movement data to better monitor monetary behavior in the economy. Digital yuan project has been issued with a supply of more than 2 billion yuan (equivalent to $300 million) in circulation in a number of major Chinese cities: listing as: Shenzhen, Suzhou, Baoding, Shenzhen and Chengdu. Chinese government expects the digital yuan to become more widely used during Winter Olympics time held in Beijing in 2022. Although official information on plans to roll out Digital yuan has not been announced, Chinese government expects Digital yuan to become more widely used. Chinese government has clearly shown its determination to digitize the economy and make the renminbi one of the standard currencies in international payments. During the testing phase, Central Bank of China conducted a random selection through a lottery to select 750,000 users to test E-wallets and spend services using this digital currency. Whether Digital yuan's technical foundation is blockchain technology or not is still a mystery because no information has been released by People's Bank of China. Digital yuan system will ensure a mode of ‘controlled anonymity’. Other countries In September 2018, Central Bank of Ukraine (NBU) conducted an experiment on a CBDC coin, called E-hryvnia. The total supply of issued digital coins is 5,443 E-hryvnia coins, the technical infrastructure used is a blockchain platform with decentralized ledger data, a supervised digital accounting mechanism. Along with testing this CBDC operation, the government is also conducting research on the effects of this currency on the financial stability of this country. By December 2018, the pilot project had been completed and the government promised to continue researching and issuing CBDC coins in the future. The recognition by Government of Ukraine shows that cryptocurrencies can work stably and not negatively affect the economy in terms of price issues and financial stability of Ukraine. Uruguay conducted CBDC trial in November 2017 as E-peso. The pilot project lasted 6 months with 20 million E-peso issued to more than 10,000 mobile phone users. The government limits individual wallets to $30,000 and business wallets to $200,000. Uruguayan CBDC is only used for a few selected shops and businesses as well as the entire infrastructure that is peer-to-peer. That E-peso payment system can be performed without an Internet connection is one notable difference of this coin. Uruguayan government claims that E-peso remains ‘anonymous’ but can be ‘traceable’ to avoid money laundering or crime. However, the pilot by Central Bank of Uruguay did not involve commercial banks; therefore, CBDC impacts on Uruguayan economy could not be assessed. Ecuador was the first country to conduct a CBDC trial in 2014 under the name ‘dinero electrónico’ (DE). Ecuadorian government issues these digital currencies first; a year later, software can be downloaded from Central bank developed by a state-owned telecommunications company to use on mobile phones. DE helps Ecuador nation save more than 3 million USD per year on old currency printing and supports the anti-dollarization of Ecuadorian economy after a long time of being dependent on US dollar since the beginning of the year 2000. However, Ecuadorian project was restricted when the State monopolized DE payment system, which led to the pilot being stopped indefinitely in 2018. In 2019, a new currency of the commercial banking system, called Bimo, was officially recognized by Government in official payment transactions with the potential to become a complete CBDC. Besides the above countries, many other countries have also implemented and piloted CBDC currency in a narrow range of economies; listing as: Sweden, Korea, Turkey and so on. Among them, some countries have been conducting researches on ‘wholesale’ CBDC money for quite a long time to serve the Interbank payment system: listing as: Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Canada, UK, France, South Africa and some other countries in Europe. These countries take a rather conservative approach to CBDC implementation towards their economies. However, from the actions of these central banks, CBDC process is gradually taking shape.

At the workshop, the speakers presented and discussed excitingly many topics related to new investment and capital mobilization forms, as well as legal framework issues and risk management of enterprises and investors in the real estate field, on the basis of blockchain technology application. From experts’ points of view, real estate is a greatly valued asset and an interesting investment channel; consequently, only financially capable investors have the opportunity to be involved. Therefore, "slicing" real estate values into "small pieces" so that everyone can participate in investing through widely concerning technology applications. The involvement of many people in one market creates transparency, jointly controlling the investment process, switching from a centralization propensity to decentralization propensity to limit the present Covid-19 context. Dr. Dinh Thi Thu Hong - Head of UEH - School of Finance shared: “Calling for capital for real estate projects through digital technology is an innovative business model. Recently, Vietnam has not had any legal regulations for real estate project funding, which uses technology applications  (blockchain or crowd-funding). However, investment demands in Financial technology (Fintech), more specifically Property technology (Proptech), with the form of Blockchain real estate investment, is completely focused.” Dr. Phan Phuong Nam - Deputy Dean of Commercial Law Faculty, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law affirmed that, currently, there have been a number of units deploying capital mobilization via token technology with 3 main modalities: business cooperation contracts, business co-owners; real estate investment funds. Regarding Token technology, MBA. Nguyen Trieu Dong – UEH Lecturer shared that Tokenization is a natural evolutionary step of securitization, creating opportunities for real information transparency, blockchain technology-based transactions and so on. Investors only need to have a little capital to take part in real estate investment. This investment model transaction mechanism is very flexible, fast and needless to be based on smart contract intermediaries. As a result, it will reduce costs, minimize administrative procedures transferring real estate ownership, etc. In addition to the positive inclinations, a variety of perspectives at the workshop also posed this model’s legal situations. In fact, this term has just been formed in Vietnamese market with neither transparent legal corridor nor legal framework for digitalized real estate business and so on; therefore, when risks and disputes occur, there is no idea how to handle or whether it would be legally recognized. Prof. Dr. Tran Ngoc Tho - Member of National Financial and Monetary Policy Advisory Council - emphasized that controlling international payment activity risks of banks is extremely vital. The control is based on the way of doing business, observing what benefits this investment brings to society and everyone as well as inclusive finance, apart from that of investors. The important thing is, when it is born, how we control and handle risk incidents, especially tax evasion and money laundering problems. “When a new investment form or technol ogy product appears, the authorities will initially impose this issue in order to optimize technology benefits while minimizing risks. More than that, in international payments, financial leverage standards, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, cyber safety assurance and a series of matters are also raised so as to protect parties’ interests; don't let an extraordinarily valued activity be unreasonably blocked”, affirmed by Prof. Dr. Tran Ngoc Tho. Experts’ sharing during the seminar: To solve this investment model’s challenges, research team including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Duc Nam, MBA. Nguyen Trieu Dong, MBA. Nguyen Tri Minh, MBA. Tran Hoai Nam, MBA. Tran Nguyen Dan, MBA. Truong Trung Tai from UEH School of Finance recommended the following resolutions: 1st: A sandbox mechanism (pilot) to develop the real estate tokenization market: It is necessary to have a tax and procedural incentive mechanism to generate a driving force to promote the real assets-digitized market. 2nd: Government needs to complete the regulatory framework for digital assets soon so that people can feel secure when investing in new areas. 3rd: A digital currency system, in the future, will be required to harmonize and develop together with digital asset field. 4th: It is essential to connect with the world markets to increase market liquidity and efficiency in real asset exploitation helping promote the real economy. 5th: Higher transparency in terms of real estate planning, disputes, or transaction restriction information is demanded. This kind of information can be online so that citizens can easily look up and learn about properties before investing. To sum up, "Digital technology in funding for real estate projects" workshop was held successfully with full participation and mdiscussion from experts, lecturers, and businesses’ representatives who analyzed and offered useful solutions towards the development of digital technology application in real estate sector. Simultaneously, this is a testament to the efforts of School of Finance, in particular, and of UEH, in general, towards the goal of commonly connecting, spreading knowledge, steadily thriving and contributing to the sustainable development of the society and the community.

This 3-day program was held on October 12th, 14th, and 21st 2021, including water management modeling theories and practices in the climate change context. Simultaneously, the participation of 31 various-field learners from Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, The Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam was also recognized. At the beginning of the seminar, representatives from EEPSEA, EfD-Vietnam, IIASA, and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) were introduced. On the 1st day, the program focused mainly on theories and models. Dr. Peter Burek, Mikhail Smilovic and Luca Guillaumot (IIASA) presented Community Water Model (CWatM) developed by IIASA, possibly modeling major hydrological processes, comprising hydrological features of a water region, construction, water demand and human-basin interaction. Dr. Peter Burek (IIASA) and Dr. Pham Khanh Nam (EEPSEA, UEH) introducing the course Python Open-source Code Model can be utilized freely worldwide. Dr. Burek briefly offered some tutorials on CWatM Software to comprehend this tool; after that, participants were assigned to smaller groups for software trial. Dr. Michael Schwab (WMO) illustrating the coalition role of water and climate resources During the tutorial and experiment process, Dr. Taher Kahil (IIASA) addressed the economic aspect of water resources management through hydro-economic modeling. One urgent water management issue was how the community determined optimal water allocation to users, places and periods. Two basin-level modeling methods launched in this training included Dynamic System (simulation) and  Hydro-economics (model optimization), in which, latter method was centrally analyzed more in this program.Community Water Model using open-source code Global Hydro-economics Model was manipulated to optimize economic objectives under basins’ physical, technical and institutional constraints. Continuing the training, Dr. Reetik-Kumar Sahu (IIASA) briefed on General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) for hydro-economics. Dr. Sahu specifically instructed on how to instal and initialize GAMS Software besides introducing four examples of the model’s operation and result analysis. Training attendees from numerous specializations and Southeast Asian regional countries On 2nd and 3rd days, trainers approached water management tools containing CWatM, ECHO-GAMS, and Global Agro-Ecological Zones  (GAEZ). The learners were appointed to smaller groups with instructors to run the model and work through in-course assignments. The guidance was designed to promote instructor-attendee discussions and interactions so that all particpants could gain realistic tool-applying experience. IIASA experts, as requested, deeply piloted how to control distinct basin models in Vietnam, Thailand, The Philippines and Cambodia. Practice with hydro-economics model and simulating on computer Despite online format, this program was deeply interconnected and technically. The fact that a variety of trainees expressed their interests and researched IIASA’s water management models achieves gadget-related practical skills. Dr. Pham Khanh Nam (Director of EEPSEA and EfD-Vietnam) remarked as follows: “The training program laid the initial foundation for a transdisciplinary and transboundary community water management research stream in the climate change context.

Deeply grasping and applying technology will help businesses operate more efficiently. Technology always plays an important part in business operations, growth leverages and sustainable development of enterprises. In terms of Covid-19 pandemic context, technology has clearly shown its key role to help enterprises quickly adapt, overcome difficulties, as well as seize opportunities with new appropriate forms of operation matching new manufacturing and business conditions. At One Mount Group, new learning machine models are being additionally installed to support businesses to understand customers’ psychology via analyzing customer behaviors as rapidly and effectively as possible so as to build business modality aiming at future markets; or the inevitable downward trend that the retail service industry needs to research and apply, possibly, eKYC technology Techcombank is deploying towards identifying customers electronically without face-to-face meetings.

Building an innovation culture has to come from the root, a leader with a mindset and commitment to innovation. At the same time, based on each business goal, leaders and enterprises determine an appropriate and effective innovation strategy. An illustrative example is the success story of The Gioi Di Dong, a company in MeKong Capital’s investment portfolio. With the target of becoming a model as best customer service business in Vietnam, when competitors were not interested in technology, in 2007, The Gioi Di Dong established a new function in charge of digital transformation with a scale of nearly 200 employees.

Following this propensity, human resources in the economic sector will have a remarkably competitive advantage when they are knowledgeable and able to apply new technologies. When they understand the technology, they can both implement technology-product development strategies and dramatically evolve new technology-applying business models. In addition, they understand the technology’s future shape, how world technology inclinations impact the world and timely grab opportunities that others may not have seen. To get these things, they need to undergo a thorough training process.

To be successful in any position, in any industry, the first decisive factor is an open mind, a mindset ready to accept and try new things, willingness to stand up and learn fast after each failure (agile mindset). For an innovator, one output of the new major that we have been discussing today, I strongly agree with the view that it is crucial to concentrate on training communication skills since this position is responsible for building an operating and developing framework for the business based on contacting all departments, all customers to understand their needs. Only when being properly and entirely understood is the technology applicable to promote its optimal power. - Ms. Le Thi Kim Cu, Former CEO - Dentsu Vietnam: A quick survey of two Vietnamese companies on investment fund management and pharmaceutical distribution (over 300 employees) showed a considerable increase in technology-competent human resources - 50% and 150% respectively. Besides, World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report (2020) forecasts that by 2025, a 10-skill group, whose laborers are essentially equipped, includes Top 1 - analytical and innovative thinking, Top 7-8 technology-related skills.

It often starts with an issue or question, from amazement to genuine curiosity. Individual interests are peaked thanks to a realistic occurrence in their own lives. When films and motion pictures are used in education, it is considered an exciting introduction to new concepts, ideas or books, a creative method and “out of the box” approach, as opposed to the traditional modes of teaching and learning. Film-type case studies can help facilitate critical reflection and skepticism; therefore, this method is believed to be an active teaching method that is conducive to the achievement of comprehensive education goals calling on in-depth investment towards innovative teaching methods in today’s day and age. Such method is effective in bringing about joy, excitement and passion in students in terms of knowledge acquisition, critical thinking exploration and problem-solving capabilities, which in turn, can and will produce a force of independent, creative and problem-solvers of the world. Establishing problem-solving capabilities in students through films According to John Dewey, goal setting is a complex activity, including (1) observation under defined context conditions; (2) A collection of knowledge about what happened in a similar context in the past. Knowledge acquired partly through aggregation and partly from the information, advice and warnings of experienced predecessors; (3) Judgment, which is a combination of what has been observed in the same context and what will appear when observing the phenomenon. Thus, the film-type case study is an effective tool to help students formulate goals, stimulate learning motivation, and at the same time promote activities and interactions between students, teachers, and the context of the film. The overall circumstances of the film then are determined to meet learning goals while providing information to learners through images and sounds as they can observe phenomena in a defined context. Associating acquired knowledge and personal experience will better facilities motivation, encouraging students to analyze interactions and make accurate predictions. The ultimate learning outcome are newly developed capabilities, namely problem-solving skills. This process is a deliberate cycle and can be extended based on the context of the film as it is established based on pre-determined learning objectives. There are numerous studies conducted that show learners can better acquire knowledge through the use of visualization and multimedia methods than through the traditional “chalk and talk” method. Hakkâri and colleagues (2008) confirmed that learners can focus on a lecture for, at most, 16-20 minutes in an hour; therefore, the use of film cases is of considerable importance to really captivate attention in an extended period of time. According to Hartley and Davies (1978), with the traditional direct oral instruction, university learners can remember 70% of what was taught in the first 10 minutes and only 20% of what was taught in the remaining hour(s). Demirel and colleagues (2008) also studied sensory retention rates and concluded that people remember 50% of what they see and hear and 80% of what they see, hear and say. Kabadayi, L. (2012) conducted a survey on students' opinions on the role of film-type case studies in higher education. The findings (Figure 2) clearly supported the use of film-type case studies to be implemented in the classroom. Positive benefits of using film-type case studies in the classroom Film-type case studies help improve memory and comprehension skills, enable learners to retain the materials easier while becoming more expressive through the diligent support of creative thinking. The film was made short and succinct, with primary focus on the targeted topic, which gradually helps learners develop the habit of visual thinking to facilitate quicker knowledge acquisition. As a result, the need to recall previous lectures in class will progressively become obsolete while further strengthening retention. Additionally, the students will also develop more perceptive observation skills through active participation, more refined assessment of human relationships, and clearer understanding of the interactions between individuals and the society. On top of that, students will be given plenty of opportunities to partake in group work and learn to take accountability for their own actions, as well as team achievements. What’s more, the case studies presented in the short-film are carefully curated to promote critical thinking and direct relevance to previously-taught materials. Film case studies and UEH Recognizing the benefits of incorporating film case studies in the classroom in shaping the skills of global citizens, the School of Accounting, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has cooperated with the Institute Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) to organize training and officially put the ICAEW False Assurance short film into teaching. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH shared: “I am convinced that such type of film-type case studies isn’t just restricted to one class but can actually be applicable across different situations and disciplines. The use of appropriately-designed film-type case studies in the classroom will help UEH enhance the practicality as well as global integration of our academic curriculum, ensuring that our students’ learning experience is as effective as possible.” Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH delivering his opening keynote Right after the training, many lectures of the School of Accounting have moved to use the film in their classes in the new semester. When surveyed on the effectiveness of this method as opposed to the traditional model, the students were expressively excited. Nguyen Ngoc Tuong An, KNC02 of Class of K45, full-time program shared: “Incorporating film-type case studies into the classroom definitely makes the sessions more fun, which makes it so much easier to understand the lectures. It’s also helpful that we are able to participate in vigorous group work and discussions instead of just listening to the professors.” Another student, Tran Gia Bao, KNC01 of Class of K45, full-time program, also agreed, “This new teaching and learning method certainly makes it easier for me to not only understand the materials but also be able to apply the theories more effectively in practice.” UEH Lecturer Nguyen Phuoc Bao An used film case False Assurance At the moment, when online training is still a necessity, it is even more fitting to implement film-type case studies in teaching, such as ICAEW False Assurance, especially in blended or flipped classes. Teachers can easily apply the principles of lesson design to ensure proper combination, granularity, reusability and interoperability. Simultaneously, learners will be more incentivized to arrange their study time while have more freedom for creativity, and thereby, develop their problem-solving capabilities and accomplish their academic goals.

This conference is an opportunity for academic exchange, research experience sharing and scientist connective forum in terms of economics, business, and consumer behavior serving for economic sustainable development. The conference also saw to the transfer of organizing responsibilities for 2022 from Faculty of Economics, Nha Trang University to School of Economics, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. GRSD Conference 2021 was jointly organized by Nha Trang University; School of Economics, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and Hue College of Economics. After 4 months calling for submissions, GRSD 2021 received 45 papers from various authors from all across the nation. Having carefully considered, the Organization Committee were able to select 15 qualified articles, divided into 3 topics to be presented during the conference. Besides, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Organization Committee determined and made efforts to modify the organizational modality to 100% online, adapting to the digitalized context and creating favorable conditions for scientists, learners, and students. Hence, GRSD 2021 welcomed scientists, researchers and academic communities throughout the country to attend so as to present, discuss and exchange research experience together. The “Green Growth and Sustainable Development” scientific conference – GRSD 2021 with the participation of scientists, researchers, and academic communities from all provinces. Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai – the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES), University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City shared that: “At the moment, we are currently dealing with several new challenges, such as climate change or the environmental effects from COVID-10 to our evolution as the human race. How we comply with sustainable development principles along with adopting sustainable consumer behaviors determine the consequences in which we’re facing, especially during COVID. More specifically, we have transitioned from crisis management into risk management; thus, today’s conference central theme “Green Growth and Sustainable Development” is extremely appropriate in this context. The JABES journal is hopeful that upon the completion of the conference that all participating researchers can make according modifications to their studies and make proper plans to submit your work to nationally and internationally reputable journals. Within the conference, Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai participated in the keynote titled “Industrial Development Orientation According to Ecology Approach: Vietnam Industrial Zones Case Study”. During the presentation, the Professor accumulated a variety of research articles about the issue: industrial development according to ecology approach attaching to green growth and sustainable development. The keynote went on to discuss the aspects of ecological economics, findings report from eco-industrial parks observations, and approaches to international pilot projects (UNIDO). Finally, the current status of eco-industrial park transition in Vietnam was also mentioned. The keynote was followed by parallel discussions surrounding 3 topics: (1) Green Growth and Sustainable Development of the industry, (2) Sustainable Development of Natural Resources and Environment, and (3) Sustainable development for locals, corporates and green consumer behavior. The plenum and parallel discussion sessions engaged an influx of researchers from every corner of the nation, in a wide range of categories including universities, research institutes as well as centers and even business community’s interest. Towards the end, all authors were given plenty of opportunities for sharing and critiquing so as to refine their research to be more fitting to be published in nationally and internationally reliable journals. Reflecting on the conference, Dr. Quach Hoai Nam – Vice President of Nha Trang University recalled: “Green growth and sustainable development require the harmony of three main fields: the economy, the society, and the environment; all addressed at the same time and in hamony with environmental and growth factors. For Vietnam, green growth is constantly met with oppositions due to the effects of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. It is these issues that threaten the development of Vietnam at the regional and national level. The conference is expected to be not only a forum for scientists, but also an opportunity for business leaders to seek guidance for policy resolutions when dealing with Vietnam’s future problems.” Meanwhile, Associate Professor Truong Tan Quan – Vice President of Hue College of Economics affirmed the conference would be a chance to expand the cooperation network among universities and for lecturers, scientists, researchers, students to learn and share with another.

Efforts from only one side (enterprises) are not enough. To succeed in applying digital transformation to sustainable financial practice in Vietnamese enterprises, support from many sides is required. In the current context, raising people's awareness about climate change and sustainable finance is probably still the root of the problem. Because among the two motivations for enterprises to digitally transform and practice sustainable finance: (1) performing social responsibility towards the community, and (2) being a business situation, the motivation (2) is more "fundamental" and substantial. Many of the companies assessed for good sustainable financial practices have strategic shareholders from developed countries, or their products are primarily exported to developed countries (Europe, Switzerland, and the USA), where consumer awareness of climate change and green consumption is already high. Currently, Vietnamese consumers' understanding of climate change and sustainable finance practices is not high; but they will increase their “green” consumption rates as their awareness grows. They are more interested in choosing environmentally friendly products not only in the product but also in considering whether the production process of the enterprise and the whole supply chain of the product is harmful to the environment and the public health. If implemented on a large scale, this change will encourage enterprises to practice sustainable finance and apply digital transformation to capture and meet customers' "green" consumer tastes. In addition, at Agenda 21 of the Earth Summit (1992), senior leaders of countries also acknowledged that most environmental and sustainable development challenges all have their origins in the activities of each country, each locality, and each field. Therefore, localization and domainization of sustainable development goals will attract the participation of local stakeholders in the implementation of sustainable development goals. The role of the Government, local authorities and departments in promoting the application of digital transformation to sustainable financial practices With the above analysis, to promote enterprises to apply digital transformation in sustainable financial practice, it is necessary to have appropriate policies of the Government, local authorities and departments. Specifically: First, the Youth Union uses the crowd effect of social networks to deploy propaganda programs, persuading people to change their living habits and practice "green" consumption. In the long term, climate change and social issues must be trained in preschool, primary, and general education curricula. Second, the banking system can also make an essential contribution to raising public awareness of climate change and encouraging enterprises to practice sustainable finance. However, the integration of promoting sustainable development must not distract or prejudice the main task of the central bank. It must ensure the "win-win" status of credit institutions because credit institutions themselves (except for policy banks) still have to realize their profit targets. Fourth, the Government and local authorities need to concretize sustainable development goals associated with each locality's characteristics and field. At the same time, allocate budget according to the outlined objectives; policies to encourage the business community and residents to work towards these specific goals through their investment and consumption activities. Fifth, encourage research institutions and enterprises to develop ESG data. At the same time, the Government and local authorities themselves need to systematically collect data on sustainable development because in the absence of data, stakeholders cannot know what to do to achieve the goal. Sixth, arrange and exploit resources, use them effectively to provide technical support for digital transformation, support the development of digital platforms for enterprises. In particular, programs and projects to support enterprises in digital transformation must go into reality. Funds must be used for practical support instead of formal activities such as ceremonies, announcements, meetings, etc. Finally, a large-scale survey should be carried out to develop a policy framework and appropriate solutions to successfully deploy and establish Vietnam's "green bond" market. In short, applying digital transformation to sustainable financial practice is a necessary and "long-term investment" path for enterprises. See the entire research paper "Digital transformation, consumer awareness on climate change and sustainable financial practices" here. (Author: Assoc.

However, the global digital currency system's rapid shift has confused governments in adapting to drastic changes in people's spending and investment behavior. In that context, governments need to grasp the fundamental issues of digital currency for the monetary system and development situation in the world; Only then can we propose solutions to adapt to the development of digital currencies in the new era. In recent years, digital currencies have developed both in terms of private money and central bank-issued coins. Important milestones include the establishment of M-Pesa in Kenya in 2007, Bitcoin 2009, Libra/Diem in 2019. Or the announcement of the digital currency of the Central Bank of China – Digital Yuan… It leads to some countries adapting quickly, but many countries are still not active in research and implementation. Vietnam is classified as a group of countries that have not been active in research but just stood outside and observed. The lack of necessary understanding of the complex technical background and concerns about the possible effects of cryptocurrencies on the economy make the response of governments passive and potentially risky… The development of digital currency can be visualized through the development of Bitcoin, from an open-source algorithm created by an anonymous programmer. Today Bitcoin has become a cryptocurrency that has been owned by millions of people and even started to become legal currency The concept of digital currency was introduced 46 days after the historical bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers bank, which marked the beginning of the second largest financial crisis in history. Following that, as executives and legislators tried to identify effective methods and ways to get the economy back on track, a small group of technologists decided to continue pursuing the idea of digital currency. Although cryptocurrency has been around since the 90s and thousands of new inventions have been created since then, it still has numerous things to explore. Digital currency is a form of money that exists in computer data created to replace paper money or coins. Digital currency is divided into two main types: traditional electronic money (the unit used is still legal money issued by the Central Bank) and cryptocurrency (a completely new and independent unit of currency released by pre-programmed computer systems). The actual digital currency revolution began with the latter's emergence (cryptocurrency), whose most successful product to date is Bitcoin, which has a significant impact on financial markets. It is even unpretentious that many researchers believe that the global financial market has completely changed when trillions of dollars have been allocated to the next-generation digital currency market. Financial transactions are automatically conducted by pre-programmed code, a world where all assets are digitized and made public “anonymously”. Cryptocurrencies use modern cryptography and are managed by a decentralized computer system with automated algorithms in the blockchain platform. According to Satoshi (2008), cryptocurrencies have many outstanding advantages such as: (1) Security: if the number of computers operating in the nodes is large enough, the possibility of being attacked by a hacker is almost impossible, the hacker has to take control of almost 50% of the computers in the system to be able to adjust the information and data of the crypto currency; (2) Anonymity: a person's personal information is encrypted, helping to ensure privacy when joining the system; (3) Economy: payment intermediaries (such as banks) are reduced, making payment intermediaries no longer a problem in the cryptocurrency system, even in traditional contracts such as L/C ( letter of credit contract) can be replaced by a smart contract; (4) Quickness: with the improvement of global internet speed, the payment speed in the economy will increase many times; (5) Automatic anti-inflation feature: the crypto-currency system is automatically regulated in the system to avoid unnecessary generation, causing the inflation rate to rise unexpectedly without any a coordination center such as a central bank. We have witnessed the rapid development of cryptocurrencies in recent years and newborn cryptocurrencies in a row with many outstanding features. One of the most successful and most accepted cryptocurrencies today is Bitcoin. Although there are many shortcomings in practical implementation, the Bitcoin cryptocurrency has caused a global earthquake and sparked a revolution in the monetary field. A typical example of this currency revolution in China, one of the countries with the largest economy in the world, which has officially deployed the digitization of the China Yuan Renminbi, putting into circulation a digital currency issued by the Central Bank for the transactions of consumers in some metropolis. It is believed that cryptocurrencies could be the following form of money (after paper money) in the new era. It confuses many governments because they cannot keep up with the rapid changes of the global economy. They cannot completely deny the existence and circulation. Still, They cannot immediately accept the new digital currency because of the lack of legal basis and the power to govern the money supply in the economy. However, countries are starting to build a new era of monetary policy to accommodate the existence of cryptocurrencies. Even a wave of countries is beginning to develop their crypto-currency into a legal tender (For example, El Salvador recently recognized Bitcoin as legal currency - BT). Facing the trend of the times, Vietnam cannot stand aside. However, like some other countries, we are confused when it comes to crypto-currency. Therefore, the Prime Minister asked the monetary authority, the State Bank, to review the legal framework for cryptocurrencies. As a result, the State Bank took the following steps to restrict all transactions related to cryptocurrency (or virtual currency) through wire transfer on the banking system, and at the same time announcing that all the supply, issuance, and use of crypto-currency are illegal acts. These reactions will limit the development of cryptocurrencies in the Vietnamese market, but is it reasonable for us to behave like this? Does restricting the growth of cryptocurrencies in Vietnam hinder the process of entering the 4.0 economy as the Prime Minister is encouraging all economic sectors? If we deny the existence and development of cryptocurrencies, the new era of monetary policy may not keep up with the development of the world economy. Facing this issue, we need to clarify the difference between cryptocurrency and traditional currency and its challenges. Furthermore, the behavior of the Central Bank will determine the future development of the new generation digital currency system. Will the automatic mechanism of cryptocurrencies dominate the entire economy, will it make the economy grow better or not, or will it increase instability in the absence of human intervention? All of these issues need to be explored and studied. By analyzing the cryptocurrencies superiority and their correlation with traditional currencies, and the challenges facing the existing financial system, policymakers can formulate policies to deal with a new generation of digital currency, or prepare for a Vietnamese digital currency in the future, which is almost unavoidable.

ACBES 2021 has connected and invited four leading keynote speakers worldwide with academic and practical research topics following the general trend of Vietnam and the world. The Conference was effectively moderated by 30 Session Chairs and 16 Coordinators for 32 parallel discussion sessions with diverse topics related to business - finance - economics - education - growth. ACBES 2021 is co-organized by the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES) and Lincoln University (New Zealand); with the cooperation from Taylor's University (Malaysia), Emerging Markets Society (USA) and Centre for Industrial Revolution and Innovation (CIRI); funded by the Ministry of Education and Training, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), UEH International School of Business (ISB), and the Centre Franco-Vietnamien de formation à la Gestion (CFVG) – the French Vietnamese Center of Management. ACBES 2021 is organized with the efforts and determination of JABES and UEH in the context of widespread social distancing caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Bearing that in mind, the Organizing Committee has determined and made efforts to organize the Conference 100% online via the Zoom platform to create favorable conditions for all authors worldwide to participate. Thus, it suits the digital transformation and facilitates the participation of many scientists domestically, regionally, and globally. Speaking at the opening of the ACBES 2021, Prof. Su Dinh Thanh – UEH President, delivered a speech to welcome important guests and a large number of researchers from all over the world to attend. Professor said: "In the context of internationalization, UEH’s top priority is to promote academic research and international cooperation. UEH's JABES journal is growing day by day, soon joining the SCOPUS/ABDC database and many other high-quality indicators. Compared to the previous conferences, ACBES 2021 has attracted many more famous scholars, and many quality articles have been published on JABES in association with Emerald International Publishing. ACBES 2021 is an achievement of JABES and UEH in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The success of ACBES 2021 in such a context will greatly strengthen the academic position of UEH as well as JABES, thereby attracting more quality articles and prestigious international scholars in the future." Prof. Su Dinh Thanh – UEH President, delivered the opening speech of the ACBES 2021 At ACBES 2021, the Organizing Committee was honored to invite 4 Keynote Speakers who are scientists with a leading academic reputation in the world. The Keynote Speakers presented the critical economic issues, empirical methods and current research trends such as corporate finance, neuroeconomics, circular economy, foreign direct investment (FDI). Specifically: Prof. Bart Lambrecht (Judge Business School, University of Cambridge; Director of the Cambridge Centre for Finance (CCFin); Director of CERF; Former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Corporate Finance; Co-Deputy Editor-in-Chief Journal of Banking and Finance; Member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Business Finance & Accounting. Prof. Bart Lambrecht presented "The Dynamics of Financial Policies and Group Decisions in Private Firms". In his presentation, Prof. Bart Lambrecht focuses his analysis on the model of a private company established and operated by a group of investors with heterogeneous capital contribution and risk tolerance; They also make decisions on the financial and governance policies of the company. Differences in investor structure lead to separate control over cash flow and control over the company and change over time. The optimal investment policy is the time-weighted average of the optimal policies of investors and converges with the policies of the least (most) risk-averse investors in the booming time (recession). Therefore, optimal leverage is procyclical. Dynamic financial policies and diversity in equity requirements address the varying preferences of investors. Prof. Bart Lambrecht delivers a Keynote on the topic "The Dynamics of Financial Policies and Group Decisions in Private Firms" Prof. Carlos Alós-Ferrer (NOMIS Professor of the University of Zurich, Switzerland; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Economic Psychology). Prof. Carlos Alós-Ferrer presented the topic: "Stochastic Choice: Psychological Foundations and Economic Consequences". Essentially, the choice is random, which means that people often make different decisions when faced with the same choice twice. However, there are empirical rules regarding selection frequency and response time for binary options with fundamental differences in decision values, known as psychological effects and time. The presentation by Prof. Carlos Alós-Ferre also talks about the theoretical foundations of human psychology in the problem of stochastic choice; introduces recent novelties in the subject of neuroeconomics and behavioral economics. At the same time, Prof. Carlos Alós-Ferrer also highlights the research results on how to use response time to clarify preferences and how to understand classical adverse selection in risky decisions. Prof. Carlos Alós-Ferrer delivers a Keynote on "Stochastic Choice: Psychological Foundations and Economic Consequences" Prof. Les Oxley (Professor of Economics at the University of Waikato, New Zealand; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Economic Surveys; Co-Director of the Sustainability and Accountability Management Unit - New Zealand Business Research Institute). Prof. Les Oxley presented the theme: "Āmiomio Aotearoa: A Stable Economy for the Well-Being of New Zealand" on the Āmiomio Aotearoa Project (a multi-disciplinary, multi-partner research project) in which the circular economy is placed in the New Zealand context (sustainable, low-emissions and climate-resilient) by providing a theoretical model linking circular economy concepts with concepts of sustainable development and interdisciplinary measures on welfare; thereby, supplementing the missing theoretical link between circular economy and sustainable development to provide evidence and support New Zealand's social engineering transition to a circular economy. Prof. Les Oxley delivered a Keynote speech on the topic "Āmiomio Aotearoa: A Circular Economy for the Well-Being of New Zealand" Prof. Ilan Alon (University of Agder, Norway; Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Emerging Markets) presented “China goes Global: Towards a Theory of Emerging Market Multinationals”. In the presentation, he considered the development of China's foreign direct investment in recent years. Chinese capital flows are increasing and challenging capital flows of the US and Western countries, especially when the “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) Initiative was born based on an approach on data and trends. At the same time, Prof. Ilan Alon also provides prominent explanations and approaches, data and trends, and policy implications. Prof. Ilan Alon delivers a Keynote on “China goes Global: Towards a Theory of Emerging Market Multinationals” In addition to the interesting topics presented by the 4 Keynote Speakers, ACBES 2021 conducted 32 discussion sessions corresponding to 32 issues of special interest to authors and researchers. With the support of 30 Session Chairs and more than 16 Coordinators from the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), National Economics University, Nha Trang University and especially from Lincoln University (New Zealand), the parallel discussion sessions of ACBES 2021 took place in a lively atmosphere with many intriguing ideas and highly academic discussions. Out of a total of 178 registered authors, 173 authors participated in presenting research papers at the ACBES Conference 2021; of which about 40% are foreign authors, mainly from the UK, Philippines, India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand. Besides, in addition to the main authors, the ACBES Conference 2021 also attracted about 80 other researchers and attendees to participate, exchange and join the discussion. After nine months, the ACBES 2021 has received 226 research papers, corresponding to 274 authors; in which there are 73 articles from foreign researchers (accounting for 32%), corresponding to 114 authors (accounting for 41.6%). Through the closed review process, the Organizing Committee selected 118 articles of good quality (acceptance rate 52%), of which approximately 50% are articles from foreign researchers. Authors who are accepted come from 130 universities around the world. In Vietnam, the authors are mainly from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City; University of Economics and Law, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City; and the Thuongmai University (TMU); The rest are authors from 41 other universities in Vietnam. The foreign authors mainly come from universities such as the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (Sri Lanka), University of Rostock (Germany), Massey University (New Zealand), University of Santo Tomas (Philippines), University of the Philippines Visayas (Philippines) and other 65 universities around the world. At the closing session of the ACBES 2021, the Organizing Committee, in turn, awarded the authors with excellent research papers on the new topics: Dr. Cuong Nguyen, on behalf of Lincoln University (New Zealand), awarded the Fintech Best Paper Award to author Huong Thi Diem Hoang (University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam); and the Green Finance Best Paper Award for authors Minh Nhat Nguyen and Ruipeng Liu (Deakin University, Australia). Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Ha Minh Quan, on behalf of the UEH International School of Business (ISB), awarded the Econ Finance Best Paper Award to authors Matteo Foglia (“G.d'Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy) and Peng-Fei Dai (East China University of Science and Technology, China). Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Viet Tien, on behalf of the Centre Franco-Vietnamien de formation à la Gestion (CFVG), awarded Business Best Paper Award to the group of authors Tu Van Binh, Ngo Giang Thy, Huynh Dang Khoa, & Nguyen Dinh Thong (University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) Prof. Su Dinh Thanh, on behalf of UEH, awarded the UEH Research Award to the group of authors Manori P. Kovilage (Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka), S. T. W. S. Yapa & C. Hewagamage (University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka). Before the end of the ACBES 2021, MSc. Huynh Luu Duc Toan introduced more about ACBES 2022 and the JST (JABES Seminar Talks) series of monthly events to invite researchers to participate. Finally, in the Conference's closing remarks, Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai sent his sincere and profound thanks to all the researchers who enthusiastically attended and made ACBES 2021 a great success. He was looking forward to seeing them again at the ACBES 2022 in a face-to-face manner with the hope that Vietnam and the world could control the COVID-19 pandemic. Some other photos at the ACBES 2021 The exciting discussions took place continuously in two days of ACBES 2021 Dr. Manori P. Kovilage (Sri Lanka) shares his feelings after receiving the UEH Research Award The researchers took a photo together at the opening of the ACBES Conference 2021 The Closing Ceremony of ACBES 2021 After the Conference, the Organizing Committee received many positive feedbacks and letters of thanks from the participating authors, most notably the sharing from Dr. Manori P. Kovilage (Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka) – The author who received the UEH Research Award. I have much to say about this ACBES Conference. Attending ACBES 2019 for the first time, my first impression was a friendly and wonderful experience, and I started to love Vietnam and the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh (UEH). I had a lot to learn from how this Conference was conducted – where I had a great deal of research experience. The ACBES Conference 2019 took place according to the announced schedule, where researchers are the centre of the Conference. It's an actual scientific conference, besides the enthusiastic and friendly support of the members of the Organizing Committee and the support team. I remember how we were supported during the city tour after the Conference was over. With these favorable experiences, I thought I would return to UEH again to participate in this Conference. But the COVID-19 Pandemic did not allow that to happen in 2020. So then, when I received the email invitation to submit the ACBES 2021, I enthusiastically wrote the article for this Conference. ACBES 2021 is a new experience for me compared to ACBES 2019. Right from the beginning of the Conference, the communication part of the Conference was so effective. All the techniques using live Zoom, the necessary lines are communicated. The submission process is also user-friendly. The professionalism in JABES and UEH makes me feel like I'm in Ho Chi Minh City at UEH. The Webinar format is very user-friendly when participating in the main program and specific discussion sessions. Keynote Speakers' speeches are so worthwhile. I've listened to every opportunity I can. I have always had a good impression of the ACBES, and I will undoubtedly continue to participate in the ACBES Conference next year and the future. I learned a lot from the ACBES, and I am still a young researcher in my career. Many thanks for what JABES and UEH have done for the researchers. I was so excited and full of energy. My research topics are in the areas of Optimal operations, sustainable operations management and research methods. I would like to contribute even a tiny part to UEH in these academic fields in the future. Once again, many thanks for the ACBES 2021. In addition, the coordinators who participated in the ACBES 2021 also shared their feelings: MSc. Pham To Thuc Han (University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam): This is the first time I have become a coordinator for a large and prestigious international conference like ACBES. It is also my first time working with a thoughtful, thorough and well-coordinated Organizing Committee like this. Behind the program's success, there are always silhouettes of JABES members who wholeheartedly support all coordinators and attendees. The best team ever in organizing the International Conference. As a coordinator, I have learned a lot and hope to become a member of the ACBES Conference Organizing Committee in the coming years. MSc. Huynh Thien Tu (University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam): The ACBES 2021 is held entirely online through the Zoom platform, bringing together all professors, researchers, and scholars from all over the world in the field of business and economics. On the contrary, the online platform even helps connect scientists from all economic sectors across the globe to participate in meaningful academic events. It is the first year that I have joined the team of coordinators to support the ACBES. Although there were many new technical problems, I received enthusiastic support from JABES teachers and other teachers. It is an honor to serve in a new position, to be exposed to and learn from the world's leading scientists. Many thanks to the JABES team and the coordinators for creating a meaningful workshop in the current context. I wish JABES to develop more and more and always maintain its international academic reputation as the leading place for research projects on Vietnam's economy. MSc. Le Thuy Khanh (Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, Vietnam): ACBES 2021 is a webinar that I participated in as a small part of the coordination team. It is also a great honor and an opportunity for me to learn and interact with the world's leading scientists and teachers in the Organizing Committee of UEH, Lincoln, and JABES. The Conference brought me a lot of value, knowledge and vision. Accompanying the teachers from the preparation and implementation, I feel the joy, dedication and professionalism from the team of JABES Journal. The ACBES 2021 conference with an online format has blurred spatial boundaries, creating a meaningful academic forum and bringing many contributions to science and research in Vietnam. I wish JABES Journal more success and can develop and organize more quality conferences in the future. Dr. Khanh Hoang (Lincoln University, New Zealand): I would like to thank the ACBES Organizing Committee for successfully organizing this wonderful Conference. The first collaboration with the teachers of UEH and JABES was really very interesting; I hope I will collaborate with teachers at ACBES conferences in the future. Dr. Huy Hoang (Lincoln University, New Zealand): I would like to thank Mr. Nguyen Trong Hoai, JABES members and UEH teachers for this wonderful collaboration. It is the first time I have directly contributed a small part to a 100% online International Scientific Conference with such a professional organization. Many thanks to Mr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan and JABES teachers who have facilitated, supported and cooperated enthusiastically. Hopefully, in the future, I will continue to have the opportunity to collaborate with JABES and UEH.

Economy, Law and Government Management are essential components of a social structure. Connecting these three components into a unified block allows us to study many important aspects in the socio-economic system. Furthermore,  development of Industry 4.0 and globalization trend require universities to equip learners with multidisciplinary knowledge in economics, law, and government management to adapt to the multi-dimensional challenges of Economics and Law. Therefore, from 2021 through 2025, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City has transformed itself to match market needs and internationalization with the restructuring strategy to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University in economics, business, management, law, design and technology. One of the first steps is establishing 03 member colleges, including the UEH - College of Economics, Law and Government. Inheriting and promoting the achievements of the University such as The first and only Vietnamese university of Economics, Management, Law and Business in the QS Asia 2021; Top 1 University in economics, management, business, and law in Vietnam (Webometrics, 2019, 2020, 2021); Top 1 internationally published university in economics, management, business, and law in Vietnam, etc. UEH - College of Economics, Law and Government was born with the mission of training high-quality human resources, promoting international relations, researching, consulting, and transferring new knowledge in Economics and Behavior, Public Finance, Government management, Law, Environment for policymakers, managers, academics, and business community in the region and around the world. UEH - College of Economics, Law and Government combines Schools and Institutes with training programs relating to macro-management and social science. The college focuses on developing undergraduate and postgraduate training programs (Master and PhD) according to international standards granted by UEH and/or international partner universities with 12 undergraduate, 08 Master , and 04 PhD training majors. The training programs are developed with open-mindedness and high connectivity with other UEH members as well as international partners with the college size up to 4,736 undergraduate, master and Fellow PhD. UEH - College of Economics, Law and Government operates a structure including Science & Training Council, School of Economics, School of Law, School of Government, School of Public Finance, Institute of Public Policy, Health and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, Sustainable Technology Institute, Economy & Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia, Institute of Development Economics Research, Institute of Human Resource Development Research, and Research Institutes, Research & Training Institutes, Short-term Training Center of the University and Department of General Administration. The teaching staffs include 113 lecturers with 1 Professor, 7 Associate Professors, 36 PhDs, a network of 80 international partners, 200 companies, businesses, associations, and more than 50,000 Alumni. Video Introduction of UEH – College of Economics, Law and Government Restructuring the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City – Forming UEH University and developing multidisciplinary –from 2021 through 2025 is a critical strategy and has great significance for maintaining and promoting UEH's achievements in the past 45 years towards sustainable development in the future. Therefore, it is expected that at the end of 2021 UEH will establish 3 member colleges: College of Economics, Law and Government; College of Technology and Design, and College of Business. College of Economics, Law and Government and other members  are aiming for a multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH University.

As one of 14 key public universities, UEH currently pioneers in economics and management in the nation. The next five years between 2021 and 2025 will be a significant phase for UEH in implementing its strategic goals for restructuring as the university proceeds to achieve its grand ambition of becoming a multi- disciplinary and sustainable university. The academic and professional workforce at UEH are more than just citizens; they are active global participants in the cause of sustainable development through art inspiration and social contribution. Upon implementing the new multidisciplinary university governance model, and in launching UEH College of Technology and Design, the University Board of Management have done their due diligence to ensure a high-quality group of young talents and working professionals. It is precisely here that each and every UEH member is constantly pushed beyond their limits in order to acquire new skills and knowledge, adapt to new technologies, and become trailblazers in the multidisciplinary approach and incorporation of technology and its technical knowledge in the harmonious and flexible use of economics and management best practices so as to exercise changes and breakthroughs that allow us to more quickly adapt to the present day. UEH’s first-ever listing in International Journals and Conference UEH Institute of Innovation (UII) takes the lead in innovation and technological integration in working, learning and teaching. Since 2021, the UII has expanded their academic curriculum with new coursework in Technology and Innovation to help UEH students stay abreast with the latest changes and trends of the world in the new digital age. UII team has made every considerable effort in researching and incorporating new technology across different disciplines, most notably the science of Human-Computer Interaction, or HCI. This past July and August, UEH received its first-ever recognition for having 01 article listed in an international journal and 02 international conferences centering on HCI. These are namely ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology 2021 (VRST) and ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference 2021 (ACM ISS 2021). The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology conference (VRST)² is an annual international forum aiming to exchange experience and knowledge between researchers and developers related to VR/AR software and technology. VRST is a gathering of international research teams working together on XR, as well as a number of world-leading companies supplying or using the XR system. VRST 2021 will be organized, in hybrid mode, in Osaka, Japan, hosted by Osaka University between December 8 – 10, 2021. The representative of UEH Institute of Innovation is a member of the Board of Review and  will be evaluating 06 research papers participating in the conference. ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference 2021 (ACM ISS 2021)³ will take place in Łódź (Poland) from November 14th to 17th,  2021. ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces is the place to be, to learn about the design, development and use of new and growing interactive surface technologies and spaces. This conference, also in hybrid form, will be held in Łódź, Poland’s third largest city where it exudes vibrancy and electrifies in a multi-cultural atmosphere. The live sessions will take place at at EC1b – a 19th-century power plant that was reconstructed into a center for science and assembly. The representatives of UEH Institute of Innovation have completed review and evaluation of the research paper to take part in the conference. ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference 2021 (ACM ISS 2021)4 will take place in Łódź ( Poland) from November 14th to 17th Besides, internationally published article titled “VXSlate: Exploring Combination of Head Movements and Mobile Touch for Large Virtual Display Interaction”5 also gained a lot of attention. Through research, readers will get to learn more about VXSlate’s application, which helps to fine-tune multi-touch content operations with better accuracy on large virtual screens, and improve defects that virtual reality (VR) can not process, such as causing fatigue, especially for precise manipulation tasks due to lack of physical surface. To tackle those problems, the author studied VXSlate’s design, which is an interactive technique using large virtual screens as an extension of a tablet. Furthermore, it pointed to the potential of exploring the VXSlate design area as well as using mixed reality (MR). A concept mockup of the VXSlate system (done by UII) The article was published and posted on the website of ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference 2021 (DIS)6  on June 28th under the topic: “Nowhere and Everywhere”, which further exemplified the severe impact that COVID has had on people’s lives while simultaneously pushed designers and researchers to pay more attention to the chaos and the unknown so as to adapt to the “new normal” everyday life. This also serves as both an opportunity and an appealing challenge for the conference to proceed in an asynchronous dispersal form while enabling easier access to the general public. The system concept was adjusted based on the recommendations and approvals from Chalmers University of Technology – Sweden UEH to become a multi-disciplinary and sustainable university These milestones serve as great steppingstone for UEH in its transformation efforts while upholding the university's core values to be a leader of change towards sustainable development. UEH not only conducts research but also aspires to apply innovation to improve the quality of life, create an ideal and conducive environment for prosperity and contribute to a technologically advanced and innovation-reliant economy. UEH is gradually establishing its presence across different international environments and disciplines.

In the session, he introduces the construction of quantitative scientific indicators to measure research performance. Regarding the rationality of the methodology, the Professor pointed out the theoretical and conceptual problems of the quantitative scientific indicator, the prerequisites for applying this indicator to the research. Furthermore, concerning topic granularity and aggregation, data is provided based on a subject classification system and is consistent with certain levels of detail. Therefore, Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel recommends using a different level of quantitative science in combination with a qualitative research method based on a specific portfolio of studies. Additionally, Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel discusses quantitative science, emphasizing the measurement of a particular type of information outside of academic research that enables responsible or fiduciary individuals to make certain value judgments – regarding the place of scientific products in the body of knowledge. MSc. Huynh Luu Duc Toan (UEH-JABES) – Representative of the ACBES Conference 2021 Organizing Committee introduced the attendees and two Keynotes of the Workshop MSc. Khanh Hoang (Lincoln University, New Zealand) – Representative of the ACBES Conference 2021 Organizing Committee briefly introduced the biography of Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel presented his research The researchers asked questions and discussed rationally with Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel Cuong Nguyen (Lincoln University, New Zealand) - Representative of the ACBES Conference 2021 Organizing Committee thanked Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel The researchers took a photo to summarize the first Workshop session with Prof. Wolfgang Glänzel In the second session, Prof. Scott Cunningham introduces researchers to crucial aspects of causal inference. Prof. Scott Cunningham said that Causal Inference is different from Predictive Modeling. Predictive Modeling defines the process of developing a model to understand and quantify the model's prediction accuracy on unseen future data. And unlike Predictive Modeling, Causal Inference is discusses by Prof. Scott Cunningham in his book "Causal Inference: The Mixtape"; Accordingly, when analyzing causal effects, it is necessary to consider other aspects. In addition, there should be assumptions in each study required to define the target parameter based on knowledge of the phenomenon and make definite assumptions on causal questions; then, use an appropriate estimator of information inference tools and methods. To illustrate the causal inference method, Prof. Scott Cunningham cites research on the causal impact on Rhode Island (USA) of changing prostitution policy. In this study, the Professor estimated the average causal impact of policy changes on violent behavior and unambiguously estimated health outcomes if Rhode Island did not legalize prostitution. During the research on prostitution policy in Rhode Island, Prof. Scott Cunningham has thoroughly researched the laws and history of this locality. He found that when Rhode Island legalized prostitution in 2003, it reported a 30% reduction in rape rates, a 40% reduction in gonorrhea in women from the people who were treated in this locality; and this is explained by the participation of women who know about health care and are concerned about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). To get this special research, Prof. Scott Cunningham took almost ten years to be announced. He further emphasized that causal analysis should rely on available data and regression techniques, and scholars should know the economic theory, expertise of the field or general background knowledge. Prof. Scott Cunningham presented his research The researchers raised questions and discussed with Prof. Scott Cunningham Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai (UEH-JABES) – Head of the Organizing Committee of ACBES Conference 2021 gave a speech of thanks and discussion relating to the two keynotes of the Workshop. At the same time, he also shared with researchers about the research direction for Vietnam and the orientation and encouragement of articles sent to JABES in the coming time. The researchers took a photo together to summarize the Workshop For more information: All JABES new information and events such as ACBES International Scientific Conference, JST series and many other events will be continuously updated on JABES official channels as follows: News, Photo: JABES Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology Besides adverse effects, the Covid-19 pandemic has played the role  as a factor promoting  rapid transformation of Vietnamese economic structure from a traditional industrial economy to a digital one. When consumers gradually adapt to online shopping services, and shopping behavior changes, businesses have to produce and distribute goods on their digital platforms, and commodity e-commerce platforms such as Tiki, Lazada, Shopee... Therefore, they must find ways to adapt to the current trend and take advantages of the epidemic to promote e-commerce business. In particular, equipping and investing high-quality human resources with a multidisciplinary knowledge base, making decisions, and operating commercial business on effective digital platform are considered as a prerequisite requirement. When Covid-19 appeared, consumer behavior towards online shopping has begun to change; they focused on small value product, or products used before. For great value products, they chose to shop directly instead of online. A survey from Nielsen also shows that up to 66% of consumers who watch in-store decide to order online (showrooming). This is  why the multi-channel sale model will increasingly develop during and after the Covid-19 epidemic. Customers will prioritize experiences at "all-in-one" locations with safe, clean spaces that can meet all needs without moving too many places, reducing public contact. Due to the impact of Covid, public health has also become the biggest concern of Vietnamese people, thereby changing the shopping habits of customers. They turn to online FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) shopping that only retail chains can supply. During the epidemic spread (March-May 2020), sales of fresh and dried foods by major grocery store chains such as Saigon Co.op peaked. Revenue from masks, hand sanitizers, and sanitizers has increased sharply. The daily income of convenience stores has also increased sharply during this period, reaching a peak of 40%. Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Duong – Head of Digital Marketing Department of Sapo Joint Stock Company shared: “Currently, the number of consumers using smartphones to access e-commerce websites is remarkably high, so all the relevant directories to purchase must be a tool to help consumers to buy goods conveniently when visiting the website. In addition, e-commerce websites must connect to the feature Google My Business, which allows buyers and sellers to verify the identity and information of businesses on Google.” Therefore, understanding consumer behavior is the key to hold the success of current retail businesses. When consumer behavior changes, it is also when retailers and online businesses sell. Traditional enterprises need to improve their digital, business, and marketing skills to develop appropriate online business models and utilize the market trends. (Source: Hoang Tung, 2021) In addition, the emergence of Covid-19 has promoted e-commerce activities, online retail activities, and online retail model in Vietnam to have positive changes: companies have quickly switched to e-commerce platforms; logistics services have developed faster and more robust; enterprises flexibly have applied various payment forms to meet customer needs. According to statistics, revenue from online retail activities skyrocketed when 80% of customers converted to e-commerce. As a result, the number of supermarkets has decreased, but Internet businesses has flourished. It can be seen that traditional online sales model is still on the rise, along with that; the multi-channel commerce model is also developed Enterprises are forced to adapt to the market The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about numerous changes and development opportunities for retail businesses to do business on digital platforms. At the moment, companies are required to quickly adapt to take advantage of the trend and hit the "sublimity" point in the e-commerce business. The most influential factor, in this case, will be human resources. Human resource is always the most critical factor playing a decisive role in final business results for all economic organizations. Commercial business on the digital platform is a new field, based on the interference and interaction of many different industries such as economics, business, administration, marketing, information technology, systems information, law, etc. Therefore, high-quality human resources with a multidisciplinary knowledge foundation will make effective decisions and operate digital marketing on the digital platform. In addition, digital marketing businesses need to have an essential technical infrastructure system. Ensuring that logistics increases the flow of goods transacted through online channels increases demand for transportation, logistics, and delivery of enterprises. Building a digital ecosystem with today's popular online payment methods, including International payment cards (VISA/MASTER), smart card, electronic wallet, electronic money, mobile payments, electronic checks, purchase card, electronic money transfer… will flexibly meet the customer's experience. At the same time, businesses need to pay attention to online advertising trends through two platforms, social networks and search engines, which are growing strongly. Along with that is grasping the movement of technology application to create new business models, save resources and increase efficiency. Businesses need to quickly grasp consumer behavior because, along with the rapid urbanization and the rising middle-income class, the shopping habits of Vietnamese people have also changed significantly. In addition, the legal environment and international commercialization trends also contribute to the development of retail businesses doing business on digital platforms. Solutions to develop commercial business on the digital platform for Vietnamese retail businesses Vietnamese e-commerce businesses need to implement the following solutions: (1) Focusing on fostering high-quality human resources by planning recruitment strategies, connecting businesses and schools to have a training plan, using medium- and long-term human resources is necessary to increase businesses’ competitiveness. Vietnamese retail companies are currently in need of qualified IT workers. According to the results of an annual survey conducted by the Department of E-commerce and Information Technology (Ministry of Industry and Trade), more than 80% of companies (equivalent to more than 1,000 enterprises) suppose training e-commerce human resources is essential for its success. In the coming period, this demand will increase when Vietnam becomes a country with an extensive application of information technology in management, production, and business activities, so conducting trade online will become increasingly popular. (2) Coordinating with the Government in communication and guidance, helping consumers understand online shopping’s convenience, safe e-commerce transactions, online payment methods (like Momo)… Especially, large e-commerce businesses should cooperate with network operators through focused shopping events and promotions to contribute to changing consumer mindsets. (3) Efforts to bring the best experience to consumers. Enterprises need to develop and maintain transparent and convenient sales/exchange policies for consumers, improve online services’ quality such as consulting, providing honest images, applying utilities 4.0 in enhancing business efficiencies such as Advertising information tailored to each individual through Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) on websites or social networks; effective and fast consulting through chatbot applications; accurate and practical product visualizations/videos through Virtual Reality (VR/AR) applications; suitable delivery locations via UPS; online multi-modal payment… (4) Focusing on building and maintaining a strict management policy of the origin of goods because any object's fault (intermediary platform or business owner) must be traded off with consumers’ trust and support. With the rapid transformation of commerce business on the digital platform, for retail companies to successfully deploy e-commerce, we cannot depend solely on factors and solutions mentioned above but also need the integration of both the Government and consumers.

We continue to learn how Banks - Fintech will shake hands andcooperate? What are the advantages and disadvantages? And in the process of exploring cooperation with Fintech companies, instead of worrying about losing market share or the risk of changing management structure, banks will be more concerned about the security of bank and customer information. Let's find out to answer these questions. To assess the micro-effects and the criteria that Fintech companies and banks use to select affiliate partners, the authors have surveyed two groups of subjects: High-class, middle-class managers of banks and Fintech companies. At commercial banks, a stratified sampling method is used to identify two types of Vietnamese banks: group 1 is comprised of joint-stock commercial banks (CBs) owned by the government over 50% (code: SCB), and group 2 is formed of other joint-stock commercial banks (code: CB). At Fintech companies, group 1 is Fintech companies established and operated for more than three years (code: Fintech1); Group 2 is companies less than three years (code: Fintech2). After stratifying into banks and Fintech companies, a sampling balanced stratification method was applied to select each group of 3-5 banks/Fintech companies, representing each group participating in the interview. These groups are selected according to similar criteria in terms of size, business activities and target customers. The team of authors used interview questionnaires based on research documents of consulting firms KPMG, PWC. The results show that the remarkable points in the implementation of the Bank-Fintech handshake are as follows: Fintech companies cooperate with banks: competition or cooperation! In terms of the Banks: when asked if they are concerned about the risk of a decrease in the bank's market share due to Fintech competition, most of them said they are concerned, but not too much. Banks are stronger than Fintech in the customer network, scale, and reputation with many e-banking services. On the other hand, SCB has customer segments such as large enterprises, traditional customers of the bank, which are competitive advantages that Fintech is difficult to approach. Regarding the change of banking products before the development of Fintech companies, banks all think that banking products have changed and will change a lot, especially deposit and payment products. All banks provide e-banking services and link payment gateways with Fintech companies in the payment field. In the process of competing and cooperating with Fintech companies, SCB identified that some technology software needs to be integrated between the Bank and Fintech, leading to changes in personnel and management structure. Nevertheless, the benefits of cooperating with Fintech are helping the bank promote financial inclusion, help reduce costs, increase revenue, innovate products, and increase customer base. In addition, SCB believes that cooperation promotes the bank's restructuring, distilling high-quality human resources and efforts to innovate internal management. In terms of Fintech: companies believe that cooperating with banks helps them increase brand awareness; increase customer confidence; access to capital; take advantage of the bank's experience in establishing legal regulations in business activities; learn about bank risk management. However, the benefit of "taking advantage of the bank's vast distribution network" has been received mixed opinions of some FT2s. They said that Fintechs mainly rely on electronic connections, not depend on other bank distribution channels. Together exploiting the payment market, personal consumption finance is one of the goals for the Banks to shake hands with Fintech. Obstacles when Banks and Fintech cooperate Obstacles banks may encounter in the cooperation process include confidentiality of banking information and the confidentiality of customer information. Ensure internal network security. The obstacle when Fintech cooperates with banks, they are too different in organizational culture. To cooperate, the two sides need to understand each other's culture and differences. A few Fintech companies think that their scale is too tiny that banks do not want to cooperate. In addition, the incomplete legal system with complicated procedures hinders the cooperation process of both sides. Criteria that banks set when choosing Fintech partners to cooperate Banks consider that the reputation and management experience of Fintech companies are essential criteria for choosing Fintech partners. Other measures such as the mechanism of action, financial capacity, Fintech's superior technology are also highly appreciated to increase customer satisfaction. Strengths of Banking and Fintech Specific strengths of banks compared to Fintech companies include suitable risk management mechanism; tight legal document system, modern technology infrastructure; Scale advantage; Wide distribution channel; Know Your Customer (KYC). On the other hand, most banks agree that the outstanding strengths of Fintech are: data management and processing; the development of information technology; acumen, innovativeness; Fintech services help save costs and time for customers and provide rich experiences. Fintech companies have cooperated and will cooperate with banks The fields that have been and will be cooperated include electronic payment connection, Personal financial advice, Peer-to-peer lending, Blockchain technology development, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). And other products such as Big Data mining; Cloud computing; Cybersecurity, and robotic process automation. In general, most banks have positive views about the cooperation with Fintech companies in the above fields, especially in AI application, Big data mining, Cybersecurity, Robotic Process Automation. The research results have been identified quite clearly on which criteria the Bank - Fintech are based.

The Jury Council commented and gave questions for the Top 9 candidates The Jury Council commented and gave questions for the Top 9 candidates On behalf of the Jury Council, Mr. Richard Moore, Chairman & Ideation Director of Richard Moore Associates, a leading brand consultant in Vietnam, gave an overview of the competition and the quality of the entries. According to him: “The use of the first letter “U” “E” “H” for the slogan has worried me. Because using the brand name repeated in the slogan to create a slogan is not necessary. Furthermore, when surveying branding experts, the initials of brand names are often considered weak because the letters of the alphabet do not have the richness of words to be able to express the ideas fully. But up to now, for UEH, this has not been true. The special case of UEH, formerly named University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. Now, when the university is expanding its curriculum beyond the field of economics, using the letters “U” “E” “H” in the slogan and giving the letters new meaning is a potent tool that UEH can use to expand brand communication to reach internationally. The entries were evaluated as very high quality and suitable for the future of UEH.” Mr. Richard Moore, Chairman & Ideation Director of Richard Moore Associates, a leading brand consultant in Vietnam, gave an overview of the competition. At the end of the competition, Prof. Su Dinh Thanh, UEH President, sent his most sincere thanks to the professional jury, candidates, and the domestic and international community, especially the UEH-er community, for their support and interest in the program. UEH slogan writing competition "Let's write the story of Multidisciplinary and Sustainable UEH University". Prof. Su Dinh Thanh firmly believes that the new Slogan will enhance the position and spread the message of multidisciplinary and sustainable UEH in the minds of the community towards UEH Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University. The final results will be announced at the end of October 2021. So let's wait and see the results from UEH. See competition information here. News, photos: Department Marketing and Communication. Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology National and Regional Transformation Strategy – Sustainable Cities Development To implement, measure and develop the digital transformation process, many organizations around the world, listing as:  Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Commission, Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), GSMAssociation have established common policies and programs for diverse countries like: Digital transformation policy integration framework, Digital transformation strategy implementation framework for European cities and regions, European Digital Transformation Program, Asian Digital Transformation Index, Digital society  assessment program in some Asian countries in addition to individual programs of each country. At the beginning stage, most of European digital transformation policies and programs focused heavily on economic aspects like: enhancing competitiveness, modernizing industry to ensure sustainability in manufacturing, etc. In Asia, digitization programs in countries (for example, Japan and Malaysia) are also associated with the economic sector and econometric vision (Anchordoguy, 2015; Athique, 2019). After this process implementation, Europe also had a positive change in measuring digital transformation efficiency, which is to use Digital Society index in addition to Digital Economy Index (DESI) (Russo, 2020). In Asia - Pacific, social factors are also gradually being taken into account in digital transformation when GSMAssociation (2020) conducted research in 11 Asia-Pacific countries (Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam) that have shown remarkable progress in terms of society, directing countries towards the future of digital society development. Studies that estimate environmental benefits or abatement potential have shown that digital transformation can indirectly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, creating a low-carbon circular economy (low-carbon circular economy) (DigitalEurope, 2019). Recognizing that the interaction between digital transformation and the environment has not received due attention in previous years, Council of Europe has emphasized the need to consider and adequately address the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation, making digital changes to the environment, climate and protecting nature through policy tools, contributing to a sustainable digital transformation approach in Europe (Liu et al., 2019). The introduction of European Green Deal program at the end of 2019 is a testament to European Commission's vision of environmental protection in the process of digital transformation, towards sustainable development (Claeys et al., 2019; Haines & Scheelbeek, 2020). In some Asian and African countries (China, Thailand, Philippines, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria), policies related to digital transformation have been somewhat aware of digital transformation impacts on environment (Kunkel et al., 2020). Successful digital transformation of some cities in the world All cities that are judged to be successful in digital transformation in the world have a smart development strategy focused to (1) solve the problems that exist in their cities or (2) further satisfy the local residents’ needs towards sustainable city development and population life quality betterment. Digital transformation strategies have only one or two goals that are very clearly defined and specific with ways to follow the digital transformation development frameworks of organizations or countries. When focusing on implementing one or two of these goals, other areas are also developed to contribute to completing and accelerating the process of digital transformation comprehensively and in all fields. Another reason for the success of digital transformation strategies is that the construction, the development and the implementation are always the cooperation of various stakeholders, listing as: representatives of State government, companies/enterprises and universities/research institutes. Sofia City (Bulgaria) The government has chosen a problem, that is, “local software companies are positioned very low” to address in digital transformation strategy. The objective of the strategy is to improve the quality of IT products through the development of digital products and electronic services to meet the needs of local companies and organizations. 2 main reasons for this development decision are as follows: (1) human resources working in IT industry in Sofia are mainly outsourcing software for foreign companies although Sofia is at the top of European as an outsourcing city and ranked third in Europe in terms of number of startups in 2014; (2) domestic IT products and services in Sofia are underdeveloped behind other sectors in digital service application. Supercomputer system installed in Sofia technology park – the largest in Eastern Europe To solve the problem and realize the set goal, Sofia government decided to build an extremely smart strategy that focuses on developing local IT industry and urban ecosystem to solve the gap between the export-oriented digital market and the local digital market. The strategy is implemented in accordance with the framework proposed by European Commission in collaboration with stakeholders from the private and public sectors in Sofia. To successfully implement this digital transformation strategy, Sofia has built an integrated platform of stakeholders (for example, representatives of local government, universities/research institutes, budget department/ financial, companies and public utilities) together to exchange and build and implement digital maturity index and develop digital services in three main areas: government, public services utility and traffic. In terms of education, training is focused on digital skills like: software programming and digital data analysis. Besides, the creation of open data sources is also gradually implemented. Granada City (Spanish) In Granada (Spain), the government chose to satisfy the need of people's health enhancement as a key factor to concentrate in the digital transformation strategy implementation. With its advantages in the field of education and healthcare on a regional and international level and its digital infrastructure, Granada City has determined that education will be a powerful contributor to the advancement and development of all areas of the city in terms of digital transformation process. In addition, the city identified a few internal problems, listing as: little open and shared data sets, leading to very limited practical use by businesses and citizens as well as poor-quality cooperation among units. Digital transformation strategy at Granada is developed and implemented in accordance with European Commission's guiding framework. To strengthen its strengths, the government supports Health Technology Park with their focus on health sector research by expanding research institutes that transform knowledge, with a particular focus on the pharmaceutical industry, health sciences, healthcare and food care, aiming Health Technology Park to be the first to specialize in healthcare in Spain. Research institutes integrate teaching, research, patient care and business development for health and biomedicine; concurrently, advanced systems, platforms and services for IT application are developed by companies. The city also encourages the development of open data sources to benefit residents and research activities. In order to increase cooperation between companies, the city promotes companies to jointly implement digital transformation whereas non-digitized companies are supported by related units. Mission, vision and operational goals and steps to implement digital transformation strategy at Granada City are all constructed on an integrated platform of stakeholders who are representatives of the city government, industry/ companies and universities/research institutes. Singapore In addition to European cities, Asia also witnessed the success of digital transformation. Singapore is considered as the clearest example. In Asia, Singapore is one of the cities that intelligently harness the ongoing technological revolution to accelerate development and transform the entire economy (Chua, 2012). Singapore chooses to focus on solving public service problems for people and businesses. Public service digitalization has been carried out since 1960 with the aim of providing convenient and cost-effective public services (Hanna and Knight, 2011); by 2000, 90% of public services will be provided online; 10 years later Singapore provides integrated public services; in 2014, Singaporean government launched the initiative to build a smart nation with three main pillars: digital economy, digital government and digital society (P.M Hung, 2021). It can be stated that digital transformation at Singapore took place quite early compared to that of many other cities in the world and has been very successful. With the policy of taking the people as the center, Singaporean government has built 11 one-stop service itineraries with essential utilities for residents from making birth certificates for young children to medical declarations for the elderly. These services save time, costs and change people's perception. In particular, people participate in most of the stages of making digital products and services with a strict 5-step process: Surveying and collecting people's opinions; Being tested from the use of people; Defecting assessment; Redesigning and Improving service digitization (Nhan, 2020). When it comes to smart city development, Singaporean government also focused all its resources on creating a start-up ecosystem by implementing a series of programs to support policies, costs and raise awareness for the startup community: “Chief Technology Officer (CTO) -as-a-Service” program, “Digital Leaders Program”, “Open Innovative Platform” (Ngoc, 2020). Singapore – one of the cities smartly harnessing the ongoing technological revolution to accelerate development and transform its entire economy. Analyzing Vietnamese context: opportunities and challenges In the previous three Industrial Revolutions, Vietnam did not have the opportunity to actively develop; rather, inherited these experiences and results to build and develop the country. 4.0 Industrial Revolution and digital transformation are appropriate opportunities for Vietnam to proactively reach out for outstanding development. Vietnam is ranked as one of the leading countries in promulgating national digital transformation programs and strategies. Starting from 2019, Central Executive Committee has issued a number of guidelines and policies to actively participate in 4.0 Industrial Revolution with the urgent requirement to accelerate digital transformation process (Politburo, 2019). In June 2020, National digital transformation program to 2025 with orientation to 2030 was issued, including three main pillars: digital government, digital economy and digital society (Prime Minister, 2020). This results from researches and learning from programs of many countries around the world like: Singapore, Thailand, UK, Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Israel, Uruguay and so on (Ministry of Information and Communications, 2020). After that, the referenced digital transformation evaluation index set was also issued to monitor and evaluate the annual digital transformation results of the provinces and centrally-run cities with references from many sets of indicators in the world, listing as: Asia Transformation Index, European Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), OECD's unified policy framework for digital transformation and so on (Ministry of Information and Communications, 2020). It can be confirmed that the trend of digital transformation program at Vietnam follows the development trend in the world analyzed above, which is to focus more on economic aspects and social aspects, not including environmental aspects. is a group of elements that need to be emphasized and developed in strategies and programs. It is also worth-noting that Vietnam introduced a set of digital transformation assessment indicators to monitor and evaluate annual digital transformation results of provinces and centrally-run cities (Ministry of Information and Communications, 2020). In a word, this asserts Vietnamese Communist Party and State's interest in the digital transformation process as well as the desire to turn Vietnam into a country with digital transformation awareness along with other advanced countries in the world. After more-than-a-year implementation, Vietnamese national digital transformation program has achieved some remarkable results through the three criteria mentioned above: digital government, digital economy and digital society. Nevertheless, the most results are recorded in the digital economy, in which businesses are at the forefront of comprehensive digital transformation. Vietnamese digital economy has gradually increased over the years and has made great changes that have positively impacted urban residents’ lives. In 2020, Vietnamese E-commerce increased by 46%, transportation and food increased by 50%, online media increased by 18%; on the other hand, online travel decreased by 28% (due to Covid-19 pandemic impacts) (Google and Temasek, 2020). E-government is being built with the goal of creating a premise to develop digital government and to impact the digital economy and digital society. Both Vietnamese online public service index and Vietnamese telecommunications infrastructure index increased compared to those of the previous years whereas Human resource index for E-government increased insignificantly and is, currently, lower than the average. For the digital society aspect, Internet usage rate factor is used to measure effectiveness level and is considered as a fundamental factor to form the digital society in the future, with a rate of 70.3%, higher than the average in some regions and the world (WeAreSocial and Hootsuite, 2021). Compared to the 4th quarter of 2020, the value of E-commerce transactions in 1st quarter of 2021, the number of deaths increased by 5.5 times, QR Code payments by 55%, E-wallets by 51% and mobile phone transactions by 50% (VisaNet, 2021). What is more, at the present time, the fact that digital transformation policy, focusing on developing the digital economy, will be implemented nationwide (oriented from 13th Party Congress) identifies that Vietnam is also following the appropriate digital transformation trend of Asian countries as analyzed above. This digital economy (which operates on a digital technology platform) is believed to be able to turn the country into a modern industrialized country, surpassing the low-middle income level by 2025, towards becoming a modern industrialized, high-middle-income country by 2030; and being a developed, high-income country by 2045 (Nguyen, 2021). With some initial results in the implementation of the national digital strategy, many cities and localities also have remarkable results such as 27 cities and localities under which have had programs, plans, and goals. and digital transformation tasks up to now (2021). Some affiliated cities (Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi Capital, Da Nang City and so on) and localities have had general goals and developed or started to develop strategies or programs to transfer arguments for their localities. Localities stop at ‘following’ the national strategy. In general, the overall goals of localities set forth in the digital transformation program are quite numerous, general and spread across all sectors and activities of that locality. Most localities do not highlight the specific characteristics and task implementation associated with development for each city. This is quite difficult in the implementation process when the resources of each locality are being in insufficient and weak; at the same time, affiliation with universities and research institutes is rarely mentioned. Proposals for effective digital transformation in urban development Looking at the success factors in digital transformation program of cities around the world in urban development, if Vietnamese cities and localities can inherit, adjust and apply them in Digital transformation strategy and program construction in your locality right from the start, individual locality will save time and be more effective. Current Vietnamese cities all have various advantages, listing as: young population, stable politics and supportive government besides some remaining weaknesses like: the lack of urban development characteristics, the lack of strong cooperation between social sectors and related units, scattered investment, weak infrastructure, poor connections, limited capacity structure. However, in terms of individual city and locality, they will have different strengths/weaknesses affecting the digital transformation process. This paper does not aim at detailing the proposals towards implementation, rather, proposing fundamental solutions, the ‘initial step’ before setting goals, defining strategies, building and implementing a transformation program as absolutely reasonable and truly “smart” digital transformation, comprising as follows: Firstly, harmoniously combining national development programs and orientations towards sustainable development. It can be affirmed that digital transformation in Vietnam has learned from the programs of other countries and measurement indicators in the world. Our national orientation towards digital transformation program is completely similar to the trend in the early stages of Europe and Asia: focusing on economy and society is just a user factor that should be considered without specifying environmental concerns. Later, European Commission has made many changes and supportive regulations related to the environment, promoting sustainable development that Asian countries have not mentioned yet. Therefore, Vietnam needs to consider this. Actually, Vietnamese national development strategy on green growth has been promulgated since 2012. Some cities and localities have included environmental assurance and green growth in their digital transformation goal. However, these objectives have not been translated into specific tasks in the implementation plan. These tasks need to be linked between the digital transformation strategy and the national green growth to create unity and effective implementation. Secondly, it is necessary to properly understand the role of smart cities in digital transformation. Smart city development is an implementation criterion in the digital transformation program in our country along with other factors. Meanwhile, basically these factors (economy, environment and so on) are all components inside a city. Smart city is, inherently, a model in which modern technologies are applied to solve real urban problems with mobilized resources towards sustainable development and life quality. From this foundation, it can be understood that a smart city is a journey to and from, not a destination. The inclusion of smart cities as a criterion in digital transformation can cause confusion, affecting the outcome of the digital transformation program. Therefore, it is necessary to properly and fully understand the role of smart cities and the correlation between smart cities and digital transformation. Furthermore, to develop a smart city, urban characteristics or problems need to be confirmed and concretized while these factors have not been clearly expressed in most cities and localities. Thirdly, each locality should have a specific strategy and program with one or two clear goals, a time and a roadmap to thoroughly implement this goal. The goal of digital transformation should focus on: (1) solving the current problem of the city or (2) satisfying the development needs of the locality. From here, the local characteristics will be summed up and developed. In order to set specific goals, the local strengths and weaknesses must be considered in order to take clear, reasonable and effective steps. In addition, developing priority areas needs to be focused on a specific direction, based on the set goals, from which, other aspects of the city will be integrated and developed. To realize this, local leaders must have a far-reaching vision to set the direction and thereby guide the program implementation effectively. Fourthly, cooperating and dividing responsibilities effectively. Performing digital transformation is a long way with many programs attached. To achieve their goals, programs must be implemented with the participation of all social sectors: local authorities, businesses, universities/research institutes and communities. This consensus, with objective opinions from diverse parties, will form integrated, flexible, sustainable and aesthetically suitable solutions with the urban structure, therefore, bringing a better life quality to the residents. Fifthly, fully defining the role of universities/research institutes to help promote effective and rational digital transformation. In a previous study, Trinh Tu Anh et al. (2020) proposed the role of universities/research institutes in digital transformation of the economy towards smart city development, specifically as follows: The role of universities/research institutions in education and training cannot be disputed in the short and long term to create human resources with professional knowledge and digital skills necessary to take the initiative so as to cope with the changes of human resource needs in the digital age. In addition, universities/research institutions have other roles in digital transformation, including: Universities/research institutions can collaborate with stakeholders as a specialized unit to carry out more collaborative applied research to solve urban problems, instead of just working at a few individual representatives of experts affiliated to the university. The construction of simulation labs and living labs at universities/research institutes (in developed countries) should be considered because this is where the Policy makers and decision-makers make informed decisions and minimize risks to digital transformation. UEH Simulation Lab at UEH In digital transformation, big data application needs to be implemented in many fields (transportation, E-government, healthcare) and connect data between sectors to create a total of national data is absolutely necessary. At that time, universities and research institutes can be a place to store, integrate, exploit and use the national data warehouse, serving research and development (R&D) and providing information to authorities responsible for decision making. In addition, universities/research institutes with leading professors need to play the role of leading, training and changing awareness for stakeholders in new fields in the digital age. To successfully and effectively implement digital transformation, universities/research institutes are educational and non-commercial institutions that can play the role of connecting generations (students, students, graduate students, alumni and so on) and stakeholders so as to create an integrated platform for teaching, research and project implementation.

The webinar attracted more than 70 researchers from Asia, who are often present in scientific events of the Journal. Professor Mariano Massimiliano Croce is a professor at Bocconi University (Italy), Co-Editor-in-Chief of Economics Letters and is the author of many articles published in leading academic journals such as American Economic Review, The Journal of Political Economy, The Journal of Finance… On the topic “When the Markets Get COVID: Contagion, Viruses, and Information Diffusion?”, Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce and colleagues have studied and shown that pandemics occur with increasing frequency, especially in the period after 1980; Especially, from 2019 to now, the Covid-19 pandemic has been taking place all over the world. The pandemic not only affects human health but also has a substantial impact on global financial markets. Starting from the suggestion of Mr. Barker (2016) on journalistic data collection – articles that have circulated for decades in most countries and for centuries in some countries, Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce and colleagues developed a new dataset from Twitter (from the intensity of news coverage on Twitter, and the attention to tweets posted by major newspapers with keywords like “Coronavirus” and “ Covid-19”) to examine how major financial markets react to news about the risk of global pandemic spread taking into account local epidemic conditions. Through the quickness and convenience of Twitter, tweets can be posted very quickly, creating a much greater capacity to convey information than other media. From this collected data, the research results of Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce et al. showed: To conclude the presentation of Mr. Mariano Massimiliano Croce, the researchers who participated in the Seminar asked many questions and discussed enthusiastically how to collect and analyze data. At the same time, they thanked Mr. Mariano Massimiliano Croce for interesting research suggestions, as well as predictive contributions to the effects of possible future pandemics. After nearly two short but concise hours, the September JST was well organized. Notably, a young researcher shared his feelings: “This is one of the best presentations on global finance I have ever heard because the theme given by Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce's presentation is very topical and his presentation is concise and easy to understand." Some photos of the webinar: Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce presents the research topic The researchers focused on the presentation of Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce Researchers engaged in the lively discussion Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai – Editor-in-Chief and MSc. Huynh Luu Duc Toan – Assistant Editor-in-Chief of JABES, in turn, showed their gratitude for the presentation of Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce Prof. Mariano Massimiliano Croce took photos with researchers attending the September JST To continue the series of seminars "Economics and Business: Agendas for the Uncertain World", JABES Seminar Talks (JST 2021) will continue to take place on October 12, 2021, with the presence and presentation of Professor Klaus F.

It is an undeniable truth that globalization and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 are having significant impacts on all aspects of social life. Training, research and consulting activities in the Trading Goods and Services sectors are not to be discounted when addressing the rapid changes in socio-economic conditions, technology, and business behavior. To catch up with market demand for highly qualified personnel capable of multi-dimensional critical thinking, it is imperative that a multidisciplinary program, namely in commerce, banking, finance, tourism, accounting, etc., is implemented to carry out effective search and business consulting. In the next five years, from 2021 to 2025, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City will conduct a university-wide restructuring to become a multi-disciplinary university in Economics, Business, Management, Law, Design and Technology, as an effective and immediate response to current and future market needs, along with internationalization trends and context.

In my spare time, I craved a little bit of Dalat atmosphere. Other people are interested in traveling here and there; however, for me, nothing is so good as “The city of flowers”. There is nothing better than being involved in cool weather and blending with flowers and plants to be a truly green living person. When being reminded of green living, people often imagine something “subliminal”. However, it is not that complicated! It is simply a lifestyle that we only need to change our habits to reduce natural resource use and avoid bad impacts on the environment. When everything we have been doing affects the environment directly, green living is the most effective permanent solution. What would happen if our road to school tomorrow were cleaner? Would it be better if we can self-equip ourselves with personal boxes for soup? I did not think that an accidental action would cause such effects. Saigon – well-known for its luxurious and magnificent blocks and hustle and bustle streets. Contrasting to this development are dark rivers with tons of rubbish. I wonder how miserable citizens are when they have to live close to those rivers? Are our daily water resources actually clean? Surely, any one of us does not expect to be sick just because of the surrounding polluted environment. I used to have a habit of receiving sunlight earlier in the morning; however, I have to get rid of it because of too much dust in the atmosphere; as well as do not incidentally play in puddles of rain on streets like when I was a child anymore. At present, the vast majority of families buy water-refining machines, and no one relies on deep groundwater due to its severe pollution. Also in this Saigon, when everyone does not live in a family anymore, hand-made foods are rarer. Studying and working lead to buying and eating rapidly any kind of food. Fast foods have brought many poisons, gradually affecting our bodies unknowingly. When it is detected, our bodies absorb an unpredictable amount of poisons. The question is whether the smallest and cutest things also disappear Being a symbol of the whole city, Saigon River made citizens love it by its picturesque beauty. Currently, when being mentioned, everyone gets bored with its different characteristics - full of floating rubbish and smell. There is no idea regarding the suffering of citizens living nearby the river. There is no longer a faint aroma of ripe rice, instead, farmers make use of chemical pesticides, the surrounding environment is poisoned, anybody approaching is worried to smell pesticides. Similarly, sea creatures have gradually disappeared, farmers trade-off their health to use agricultural poisons. Environmental negative changes will wash our beautiful lives. If we do not take action and begin living green, more rivers and fields will be destroyed, and acid rains will take place more thickly. Living Green or not, the decision is yours! Looking back at the signals of the climate change listed as the suddenly increasing temperature of the Earth, annual floods in the Central region, or droughts in the Mekong River Delta last year which took families of the miserable, and a whole crop seeming to be bountiful. When Mother Nature gets angry before negative changes in the environment, who takes this responsibility? No one wants to be responsible for that at all, but everybody will receive adequate consequences, including those who are making efforts day by day to protect her. You have just lost one second to litter, but it requires several days for clearing sewers to reduce flooding. You receive one more nylon bag conveniently, but it takes hours and days to decompose them. Responsibilities for environmental destruction are significantly huge while its protection starts from tiny actions, is it worth it? All difficulties are possibly solved, so is Green living! “Every time going shopping, I bring my own bag because I do not want to use any nylon bag at all” - a student at my university said. Green Living is just this simple action, even though you think it is nothing valuable; in fact, it carries a large meaning towards the environment. At the time you know how to refuse nylon bags, bring your personal bottles or limit ordering take-away foods, and so on. Any type of your action, no matter it is small, contributing to cutting released garbage, is green living! There are beautiful skirts and blouses in your cabinet for quite a long time that no one has touched. You do not need them anymore and plan to throw them away? Why don’t you turn them into Second-Hand items? Have you ever taken several hours of your time to transform plastic bottles into beautiful planting pots? Immersing yourself in interestingly creative spaces may be a relaxing green living you should experience. Let’s recycle as much as possible as what we think rubbish can continue existing usefully. We are not living green alone Sometimes, Green Living can make us lonely among friends, boring, and surrender. Don’t be like that! Don’t see yourself as an alone green living person. There are a number of people similar to you. They are still living green every single second with pride. Even for those who are not living green or embarrassed, you are a pioneer and motivator for them to take action together. Green living does not require you to do great things, it is simply getting rid of a bad habit, and replacing it with other healthy acts. Green Living does not mean investing much. Starting with philosophies will not come to an end, let’s continue contributing and spreading the Green Living spirit from your small actions. Green Living is just that easy! I have done it! Following the serious impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the whole country is facing a long-lasting pollution statement, the number of medical and domestic waste has increased considerably compared to ordinary days. If medical waste is unavoidable, why don’t we live green? Every person living green, every family living green, leading to a green, cleaned; consequently, beautiful society after the pandemic is absolutely possible. Stopping pursuing macro-matters and realizing that all actions, regardless of their scale, probably works. Don’t let the environmental protection movements continuously start and be extinguished, from now on, let’s believe that green living is easy and begin changing because you are a hero of our planet!

Digitalizing management and teaching activities Understanding the importance of digital transformation, for the past 2 years, UEH has been vigorously pushing for more technology integration within the school operations, including digitalizing teaching and general management activities through interactive applications and software along with extensive implementation of the Blended Learning (a hybrid form of traditional in-class instructions and E-learning). Dr. Dinh Tien Minh, UEH School of International Business & Marketing shared, “Since 2016, UEH has begun to implement blended learning in the university’s daily operations, across all academic levels and disciplines, with 30% of the instructions being held online and 70% in-person, and an active LMS-UEH was also put in motion for daily tracking and managing. “The implementation thus far has shown us that the blended learning model is less expensive than hosting traditional classrooms. It even has the potential to cut down educational costs as it offers classes online and essentially replaces expensive textbooks with multifunctional electronic devices that students can bring to class on their own (digitalization). Particularly, knowledge tests in Blended Learning are automatically graded, providing instant feedback. Student sign-in and work time are also measured to ensure accountability. In addition, the Blended Leaning method also saves costs, time for teachers and learners, facilities conditions, and the quality of education is enhanced." Dr. Minh shared. In addition to promoting the application of technology and digital transformation into teaching and scientific research, UEH also recently implemented a community project to support free digital transformation for high schools called Global Learning to help high school teachers gain experience and can actively conduct instructions online. MSc. Vo Ha Quang Dinh - Department of Information Technology (UEH) said: “Teaching trends in Vietnam in general and UEH in particular will require a shift. Digitalizing learning activities is a must-have trend in the new context, in which the Blended Leaning model is predicted to bring about the potential to help improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning, on the basis of maintaining consistent principles. Basic pedagogical principles are integrated in detailed course design, helping to bring an optimal learning experience for students”. Establishing smart university With the infrastructure foundation and prepared attitude for the past 3 years, UEH aims to transform into a smart university within the next few years. According to Dr. Bui Quang Hung – UEH Vice President, with smart university, technology becomes a crucial tool for teaching, research, learning and other related tasks. In which, digitalizing teaching, research and other activities with software, equipment and technology integration and operating models transformation, etc. will promote leanness, efficiency, and usability. The ability to analyze and propose solutions to improve the higher education environment for relevant subjects. “Digital resources, open educational content, virtual educational environment, and digital infrastructure are the four basic elements of V-SMARTH smart university and online instructions. As of March 2021, UEH has had 60 systems and software deployed with different frequency of use and number of users. Compared with the indicators and conditions to approach the smart university model according to the model of Nguyen Huu Duc et al (2020), UEH is responding well to 2 results of Cleverness indicator (Ci) and Readiness indicator (Ri). This is what makes us confident to soon build UEH into a smart university”, said Dr. Hung. In fact, according to the research results and surveys of staff, lecturers and students that UEH's research team carried out, it shows that the university initially had the right technology investment strategies and plans when it became successful. The digital infrastructure and interactive educational environment have achieved high results (77% and 70% respectively of the survey), and the digital resource component is also in the process of completion (reaching 55%). However, the customized course design component is currently only 33%, which UEH is trying to build, develop and improve. Mentioning the strategy and goals of converting into a smart university, Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of the UEH Council said that the process of digital transformation requires leaders and managers of the university to recognize and use the “power of new technologies” to increase the Cleverness indicator (ie., increase Ci) of systems after completing the digital transformation process, teaching methods, classrooms, curriculum, etc. while allowing for more efficient use of time, finances and staff. "Leaders and managers need to have a proper awareness of the benefits of technology, digital transformation, and smart university development to have strong motivation and high determination on the way to the goals and at the same time actively develop a plan to self-improve new skills and abilities appropriately. Digital transformation towards a smart university is a process of overall and comprehensive change in all activities of the institution. higher education institutions in terms of both technical, process and human factors. Leadership is the one who determines the success or failure of the digital transformation process" - Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology The English Zone at University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) was established with the sole goal of helping both employees and students at the university improve their English skills through a variety of activities, including language seminars, communication workshops, musical & cultural exchanges, etc., held entirely in English. It is expected to be one of the most productive responses to UEH’s internationalization efforts to elevate the university’s academic reputation and position as a higher-education institution at the national, regional, and global scale. UEH English Zone officially went into operation at the end of July 2021 and is currently conducting online activities to suit the context of the pandemic. UEH English Zone often conducts weekly themed activities to help participants practice and enhance their foreign language reflexes, increase their lexical resources along with communication skills to form the habit of using English on the daily, which could help them easily adapt to a multicultural & multilingual environment anywhere, but especially starting right here at UEH. Additionally, UEH English zone was designed to be a conducive international playground where attendees are given the opportunity to learn, discover and explore cultures from other countries. Both the regular and periodic activities at the Zone are organized in the most practical way, allowing both learners and officials the space to use English confidently and naturally while abiding by Vietnam’s culture, customs and traditions and still maintaining a sense of modernity and globalization. The UEH English Zone at Space B2, Campus B UEH During the 4th COVID resurgence, determined to turn challenges into opportunities, the UEH English Zone has been studiously deploying many online activities to keep students and employees of the university engaged and motivated throughout the trying times. Informative seminars are held periodically every month with many interesting topics, such as: Arousing the passion for learning English; Semantics Analytical Skills in IELTS/GMAT tests; Idioms in communication, etc. These events have managed to bring together many local and foreign reporters while creating a lively discussion forum amongst UEH students and employees, regardless of time and space. Despite lockdown and huge geographical gaps, the seminars and talk shows were also successful in connecting language enthusiasts across Vietnam and cross-regionally to European and American countries. Namely, together with Sripatum University (Thailand), UEH has organized an online culture exchange program that has garnered positive feedback and attention from students. Through the program, students from both universities can better understand and appreciate one another’s cultures, during which it can further strengthen diplomatic relations and friendships beyond geographical borders for both officials and students. Cultural exchange between UEH and Sripatum University, Thailand For the month of October, the UEH English Zone will continue its mission to help UEH employees and students improve their English skills through a seminar, hosted jointly with the School of Foreign Languages, called “Mastering English Academic Writing Skill”. Joining the program is Dr. Deborah Laurs, Assistant Manager of the Student Learning Center at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

On November 18th morning, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) organized "Vietnamese commercial law in the integration period" conference with participation from a large number of scholars, lecturers and legal experts. This conference, in spite of being organized through "hybrid" method, is honored to welcome a variety of leading delegates and experts in legal field to attend through both face-to-face and online methods with the assistance of Cisco Webex platform. Speaking at conference opening, Prof. Dr. Sử Đình Thành – UEH President – delivered a welcoming speech to a large number of guests and researchers attending at the conference. Professor remarked that: “Vietnam is facing many opportunities and challenges from the market economy from integration period, the provisions of commercial law need to be recognized and studied to contribute to creating a legal corridor open for economic development in Vietnam in the new era.” The conference held in face-to-face and online format through Cisco Webex platform The conference was divided into two main sessions. The first session, co-chaired by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phạm Duy Nghĩa - Fulbright University Vietnam, Former Dean of Law Faculty, Member of Scientific Council of Law Faculty and Dr. Dương Kim Thế Nguyên - Dean of Law Faculty, UEH School of Economics, Law and State Administration, centered around common issues of commercial law and commercial activities. Opening the conference, Dr. Dương Kim Thế Nguyên confirmed that, after more than 25 years of establishment and development, Vietnamese Commercial Law has gradually gained an important position in private law system, as one important link between the laws governing the specialized commercial activities with Civil Law Code; however, some contents of General part of Commercial Law 2005 need to be adjusted for better suiting the new trend. The discussion session was conducted around the need of provision amendment in General part of Commercial law in synchronizing regulation direction in private law field. Dr. Dương Kim Thế Nguyên - Dean of Law Faculty, UEH School of Economics, Law and State Management co-chaired the seminar Dr. Trịnh Thục Hiền commented on the importance of commercial practices as a formality source in commercial legal system during integration period whereas MSc. Võ Phước Long - Faculty of Law, UEH School of Economics, Law and State Management believed that it is necessary to boldly move towards a synchronous private law system instead of continuing to create inconsistencies between two sources of law that jointly regulate the commercial law. Dr. Trịnh Thục Hiền commented on the importance of commercial practices MSc. Võ Phước Long emphasized the necessity of boldly moving towards a synchronous private law system Sharing similar viewpoints, MSc. Nguyễn Công Phú - Former Judge, Deputy Chief of Economic Court, People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City - pointed out a number of shortcomings through the practical implementation and application of provisions in both the Civil Code and Commercial Law. MSc. Nguyễn Ngọc Anh’s thesis from Hanoi Law University, assessing the current status of regulations governing commercial brokerage activities, especially in the context of the current outstandingly-developing digital economy, contributed to enriching content and providing a multi-dimensional view at the conference. MSc. Nguyễn Công Phú - Former Judge, Deputy Chief of Economic Court, Ho Chi Minh City People's Court was sharing his viewpoints MSc. Nguyễn Ngọc Anh from Hanoi Luat University with her paper The second session was chaired by Lawyer Trương Nhật Quang - Executive Lawyer of YKVN, Member of Scientific Council of Law Faculty and Dr. Nguyen Thị Anh - Vice Dean of Law Faculty, UEH School of Economics, Law and State Administration with the discussion around issues of commercial sanctions and commercial dispute resolution. Dr. Vũ Thế Hoài - Faculty of Law, Saigon University, asserted that violation fines and damage compensation in law and practice have shown many shortcomings due to the conflict between provisions in Commercial Law and Civil Law; concurrently, proposing to supplement regulations that allow the parties in a commercial contract relationship to agree on a given level of compensation. 2nd discussion session MSc. Nguyễn Ngọc Trâm Anh - UEH School of Economics, Law and State Management further clarified the obligations to limit losses among parties in a commercial contractual relationship when a contract breach occurs, leading to sanctions regarding damage compensation, concurrently, recognizing the need for more guidance and law cases in the coming time for dispute resolution process to take place effectively. MSc. Nguyễn Ngọc Trâm Anh was reporting her paper Doctor-Lawyer Lương Khải Ân - Ho Chi Minh City Law Association analyzed the inadequacies in regulations on late payment interest in commercial and service transactions and proposed amendment measures in the coming time. More specifically, the seminar also received a presentation from author group as Doctoral students and Graduate students at Law Faculty who were researching on online commercial dispute resolution, a new issue but major research topic within commercial dispute settlement field in the upcoming time. Papers from a group of authors as Doctoral students and Graduate students at Faculty of Law The seminar received a variety of participating articles with diverse perspectives around Commercial Law topic. The research contents were actively discussed through two interesting discussion sessions. Further information regarding summary record of this online seminar can be searched here.

The competition aims at establishing an intellectual playground for students to learn and develop effective communication skills, as well as improving their critical/creative thinking and have greater insights into socio-economic issues, all of which are essential to their studies at UEH. DEBATE UEH 2021 consists of 2 phases with 160 teams in the Faculty Qualifier, 16 teams in the University Qualifiers and the Top 4 contenders in the Final Round that took place on September 11, 2021. DEBATE UEH 2021 – A new playground for Economics students The Preliminary Qualifiers started off in March 2021 with great excitement across 14 of UEH Schools and Institutes with a total of 160 teams signing up to compete. Each involved department were both proactive and creative in terms of method, content, regulations, debate topics and even the main language for the entire competition. Each team brought along their unique energy and voice, further affirming their stance as a GenZ in many aspects within the fields of socioeconomics. Are familiar topics well understood? The University Qualifiers officially commenced in September 2021 with an online exam. Round 1/16 of the competition began with some of the most common real-life issues yet still harboring unknown/undiscovered risks to help the contestants gain a deeper and more multidimensional look into current social issues, such as job hopping, personal goals, social media, etc. Then, the debate topics in round 1/8 further elaborated on the roles and impacts of technology on people’s lives. At the end, even though the rounds were finished, it was an eye-opening experience for students and participants to gain a better understanding on traditional operations and settings in the context of modern e-commerce businesses, applications for good/food deliveries, financial technology or even dating sites that may or may not be used for the right intended purposes. Amplified by the enthusiastic attitude towards the debate and competition, the participating teams were successful in defending their positions and giving the judges and spectators a sneak peak into their courage as a young leader in the new age. University Qualifier: The Reunion of Talents and the problems that are COVID-19 After many intense and dramatic qualifying rounds, 4 outstanding teams were chosen to enter the University Qualifier of DEBATE UEH 2021 on Saturday, September 11. The overarching theme was GenZ and COVID-19, and the students were unapologetically candid and vocal in sharing their views and perspectives on this hot topic as the leading youths of today. Randomly drawn and divided into either For or Against, the teams still came well-prepared with extremely sharp critical thinking abilities and demonstrate strong arguments regarding the pros and cons of various topics, including work from home policies, socio-economic and environmental issues, and most importantly, the beauty of the Vietnamese culture in the context of a very complicated pandemic. The Judging Panel of the Final Round included MSc. Huynh Phuoc Nghia - Vice President of UEH Institute of Innovation; Mr. Nguyen Tuan Quynh - CEO of Saigon Books and current Vice President of UEH Alumni Association; Ms. Nguyen Thanh Mai - Head of International Relations and Corporate Culture Department, PwC Vietnam; Ms. Hong Phuong - MC, Editor of HTV; Ms. Lieu Ha Trinh - TV MC, poet, writer. With this collection of experienced, prestigious and diverse group of judges across different fields, the students were at tremendous advantage as they were given insightful and productive advice, feedback from the judges, all of whom participated on only in helping the students diversify their visions and directions, but also in terms of skills refinement throughout the competition.

In the previous two periods, based on the research results, one of the weaknesses of the banks is the lack of flexibility in applying modern technology, leading to high transaction costs and failure to meet increasing customers’ demand. Meanwhile, Fintech has the advantage of innovation and the ability to apply technology flexibly and effectively, helping to reduce transaction costs and improve customer experience. However, one of the significant challenges Fintech companies have to deal with is building customer trust in terms of security and safety or customer networks. The cooperation between Banks and Fintech has brought positive effects to the two sides. It is the basis for promoting many effective and explosive digital payment solutions, helping the parties to take advantage of the partners' strengths and overcome difficulties. The cooperation relationship between the Banks - Fintech is considered a premise for improving access to financial - banking services, bringing benefits to both sides, and simultaneously helping the competent authorities effectively manage the banking system in stabilizing national finances. Some proposed solutions to promote effective cooperation of the two sides include: Secure payment system The promotion of Banks - Fintech cooperation and financial inclusion will lead to an increase in the scale, expansion of the scope and number of payment transactions. Thus, ensuring the stable operation of the national payment system is a matter of necessity. In which, infrastructure investment and system monitoring and management are two of the most critical issues. For effective control and supervision, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) needs to adhere to and stick to the principles of monitoring the payment system, including Transparency and consistency in supervision criteria; Pursue and comply with the common international standards for supervision of payment systems such as the rigid standards for the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs) in 2012 issued by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) or the rules governing the securities trading settlement system issued by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO); Ensure close coordination and quick response between the SBV and relevant agencies and between central banks of countries. In addition, for the supervision of international payment transactions, the general principles must be ensured when participating in the global payment system: notify member banks when detecting or forecasting large fluctuations to their local currency; The SBV is primarily responsible for its payment system; Periodically evaluate to adjust the national payment system in line with the entire international payment system; Close coordination among members in the global payment system; Quickly identify threats to the system and warn members. In these activities, the SBV is the agency that plays the leading role and, at the same time, closely coordinates with the State management agencies to carry out the national financial supervision. Ensuring safety and stability of the banking system According to the assessment of the risk absorption capacity of the Vietnamese financial system, the banking system’s stability is still an area that needs attention for improvement. It is even more necessary when promoting Banks - Fintech cooperation in providing financial and banking products widely in the economy. Suppose banking operations in general and commercial banks' payment activities are strictly inspected, controlled, and supervised by the SBV by international and national standards. In that case, Fintech companies providing financial services also need to be monitored similarly. Currently, the supervision of Fintech's activities is under the Ministry of Planning and Investment and related ministries but not under the direct supervision control from the SBV. However, to supervise the payment system of the state budget in general and the payment sources of organizations and individuals through Fintechs, the State Bank cannot unilaterally implement without the supervision mechanism and policy as for other commercial banks. And it is necessary to have a policy to supervise non-cash payments via Fintech by the Government, assigning relevant ministries, branches, and the State Bank to implement. Additionally, to accomplish the goal of balancing the national foreign debt repayment obligation with the export of goods and services, minimizing the risk to the federal financial security, and maintaining the national credit rating, the government must have policies that encourage Fintech development. Although most Fintechs participate in the cashless payment system for the financial and banking sectors, they also provide other financial services such as capital mobilization or peer-to-peer lending. Thus, if the channel of capital mobilization through Fintech can be promoted and the risk of this mobilized capital controlled for depositors, they can focus more idle money on the people to participate in the capital supply process for depositors, organizations, and individuals that need capital. To do so, the State must have the policy to reduce risks for depositors by requiring them to buy deposit insurance and imposing a multiplier (maximum loanable deposit ratio) on Fintech if they provide banking and financial services alone. Completing the legal corridor to promote the Banking - Fintech relationship Although the benefits of bank-fintech collaboration are undeniable, banks and state agencies have faced numerous challenges, including banking information security issues, customer information security, network security, and requirements to meet consumers' high expectations. They also have to find a common denominator between safe and effective management, promoting innovation, and increasing competitiveness. Many Fintechs have been very active in collaborating with banks to provide services to niche market segments. The fact shows that the legal framework for the banking - Fintech cooperation process is still very primitive; clear regulations on the operating model, legal status, conditions for establishment and operation of Fintech companies have not yet been established. Therefore, the development and synchronous implementation of policies to promote Fintech development such as tax exemption and reduction policies; policies to support access to capital sources, create an environment for Fintech investment, and cooperate with traditional financial institutions - banks are essential. The SBV needs to develop mechanisms, policies and promulgate management regulations to create a favorable environment for innovation, apply the achievements of the industrial revolution 4.0 to banking activities, and support the development of the banking sector with the appropriate Fintech ecosystem development in Vietnam. Therefore, it can be said that completing the legal corridor is an essential premise to promote Banking-Fintech cooperation in many aspects in the coming time. For the regulations on Know Your Customer (KYC): Commercial banks now identify customers who first transact with banks and deposits (directly at the counter), loans, international payments. All customers must sign the documents with a wet-ink signature. Although Fintech also approaches and provides currency business services, customers can perform identification by electronic signature or encryption (eKYC) instead of wet-ink signature (KYC) as for banks. So, when the bank combines with a Fintech company, will the KYC regulations change or not? Will apply according to eKYC of Fintech or KYC of banks. The SBV itself cannot give binding rules on the safety of Fintech because it is not the governing body to manage these companies. Still, for consistency in management, the Government needs to direct for the cooperation between relevant ministries. In addition, the Government has now digitized to identify citizens by integrating information about citizen identification, social insurance, health insurance, and household registration. Therefore, it is also advisable to digitize the bank's customer identification through e-identification and replace KYC with eKYC like Fintech companies. For safety regulation: Commercial banks operate with the international regulatory system and the central bank of each country to ensure the system's safety. However, rules on ensuring system safety for Fintech activities are much looser. Therefore, for the economy to be better able to withstand the shock of financial risks when Fintech provides financial services, the Government also needs to compare the safety regulations of banks to apply. For example, rules on required reserve ratio, mandatory deposit insurance purchase regulations, minimum capital adequacy ratio. Likewise, when Fintech combines with banks to provide Fintech products and services through banks, financial service provision activities need to comply with the regulations of the banking system. Currently, there are still many regulations to protect consumers of financial products provided by Fintech. For example, many Fintech companies have recently mobilized customers' deposits in a multi-level model for fraud, taking advantage of this loophole. In addition, a series of Fintech companies that have defaulted and are unable to pay depositors in recent times have shown the need for detailed regulations on safety and ensuring the rights of consumers in this particular financial sector. It is necessary to have a standard data center to exploit the strengths of the banking system, Fintechs, and promote the efficiency of the Bank-Fintech combination, but still ensure national financial security. Prioritize development of information infrastructure On the one hand, a standard database center effectively exploits information sources, on the other hand, it makes information sources transparent to avoid risks due to information asymmetry for the Banks – Fintech when choosing partners and financial and monetary cooperation. For the standard data center to have a reliable and rich data source, when developing a project to establish a typical data center (in addition to the current CIC customer credit data), it is also necessary to issue an open data standard. Information from the available data center will create a level playing field for banks in accessing 4.0 digital technology through self-development of digitization systems or cooperation with Fintechs while still ensuring national financial security. Promote diversification of areas of cooperation To meet customers' increasingly diverse needs and high expectations, banks and Fintech need to continue to promote cooperation to provide more diversified services and products. Banks and Fintechs need to have an open mind, thereby building an appropriate business strategy, aiming for beneficial cooperation, creating strength for the service market, improving competitiveness for economic development. However, banks need to ensure that customer data is provided to Fintech companies, monitor data sources, and have strict policies to protect customer information. On the Fintech side, customer information security must also be a top priority. Ensuring information security is the basis for the parties to strengthen their reputation and trust with customers, the foundation for the parties to continue cooperation in diverse fields, and limit cyber security problems, enhancing the quality of risk management and contributing to national financial stability.

Along with the trend, the challenge of security and safety of banks in this "handshake" is higher than ever. When will that balance for cooperation be reached, and what is the insider's responsibility? Let's read three parts of the series "Banks shake hands with Fintech" to decipher these pressing questions! Banking and Fintech cooperation status in Vietnam Discussing the role of Fintech in the Banking-Fintech cooperation relationship, Mr. Pham Tien Dung - Director of the Payment Department of the State Bank of Vietnam, stated: " Without Fintech, Mobile Banking would not be able to develop to its current level, and thanks to Fintech, banks now have a complete digital ecosystem.".” Banks used to equip the Mobile Banking project about ten years ago, but some had to stop because the investment costs were enormous. And when the cooperation between the Bank and Fintech started, Mobile Banking and Internet Banking became inevitable and more popular. According to a survey by the Banking Strategy Institute in 2019, 84% of bank leaders said they want to cooperate with Fintechs for mutual development based on the available strengths of each party. At the same time, credit business processes such as credit rating, asset valuation, etc. can also be shared with Fintech. Because Fintech creates critical changes to financial activities, financial institutions that do not use Fintech will become obsolete and gradually lose competitiveness. One of the notable domestic investments is the case of VPBank in FE Credit. VIB joined Fintech company Weezi to launch MyVIB Keyboard, an application for transferring money via social networks. Techcombank has partnered with Fintech Fastacash to introduce F@st Mobile, a quick transfer method via Facebook and Google+. Vietcombank cooperates with M_Service in money transfer payment. VietinBank collaborates with Opportunity Network (ON) to provide a platform to connect businesses with more than 15,000 businesses in 113 countries, creating effective market expansion opportunities for domestic companies with foreign partners. Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) has developed a digital bank in collaboration with strategic partner Viettel, one of the country's largest financial and telecommunications companies, to develop technology enabling users to conduct transactions directly within Facebook Messenger. In addition, there is also a case where a Fintech company acquires a subsidiary of a bank. Typically, Lotte Card, a subsidiary of the Korean Lotte Group, has acquired Techcom Finance, a subsidiary of Techcombank Vietnam, to expand its consumer lending activities in Vietnam. The State Bank of Vietnam’s perspective on Fintech development and national financial stability Vietnam Fintech market is worth 9 billion USD in 2020 and continues to explode Regarding the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) perspective, stabilizing the financial system helps stabilize prices and ensure sustainable economic development. A stable financial system also creates an ideal environment for investors and depositors, increases the operational efficiency of financial intermediaries, helps financial markets function properly, and improves financial performance. The allocation of resources in the economy, reducing shocks and systemic risks. SBV assesses the stability of the banking system; until 2019, commercial banks have continuously strengthened their financial capacity as well as increased their operational scale. The system's liquidity is guaranteed to be stable, and situations that cause instability to the safety of the whole system, such as bad debt and cross-ownership, have been reduced to a deficient level. However, compared with other countries in the region, Vietnamese commercial banks are still small in terms of size and financial capacity, and the financial health of a bank is still limited. In general, the level of safety and stability of the commercial banking system in particular and credit institutions is not equal to that of other countries in the region, vulnerable to unexpected external influences. Assessing payment system risks, from SBV's perspective, in the context of Vietnam's payment system being promoted to connect to the rest of the world, the stakes are always the same: liquidity risk, credit risk, operational risk, and, most significantly, the risk of technology attack. In terms of cybersecurity risks alone, Vietnam is currently ranked sixth in the world in terms of risk of denial of service attacks and third in terms of computer network risks. Accordingly, the more integrated Vietnam is, the more comprehensive the cross-border payment system, the higher the risk, and the more significant the global market impact. Facing that risk, the SBV has taken measures to manage and prevent the adverse effects of these risks on the national payment system, such as: installing software to track and exploit transaction data of interbank electronic payment system (IBPS), monitoring ATM/POS system, strictly managing foreign currency payment system, securities trading, participating in financial sector assessment program (FSAP) of the World Bank to identify weaknesses in the payment system, thereby taking active work to improve. In addition, the SBV also strengthens the management and stricter control over organizations providing electronic payment services such as e-wallets, as demonstrated by the issuance of a Strategy to supervise payment systems in Vietnam in the period 2014 - 2020 (according to Decision No. 1490/QD-NHNN dated July 29, 2014). In general, from the SBV's point of view, compared to other countries in the world, Vietnam's payment system is currently relatively well managed and controlled, ensuring safety, reflected in the low number and rate of incidents and fraud. Moreover, by the end of 2020, the rate of card payments in Vietnam was only 1/3 of the world average. Regarding financial inclusion, this is an issue that is concerned and promoted by the Government. The percentage of customers, especially retail customers such as individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises, who have access to financial products and services is still deficient compared to other regions. Promoting financial inclusion is still tricky because infrastructure is mainly concentrated in big cities. However, the SBV has had many policies supporting comprehensive financial development such as Project on promoting non-cash payment in Vietnam for the period 2016 - 2020 (Decision No. 2545/QD-TTg-2016), The project on building and developing the microfinance system in Vietnam to 2020 approved since 2011; Directive 22/CT-TTg-2020 on accelerating the implementation of non-cash payment development solutions in Vietnam; Project to improve access to banking services for the economy. Furthermore, The Prime Minister's Decision No. 149/QD-TTg/2020 approved the "National Comprehensive Financial Strategy to 2025, orientation to 2030". The biggest goal is: financial products and services are provided to all people and economic and non-economic organizations in a safe, convenient way, meeting demand, at a reasonable cost and suitable for everyone under the law. Thus, the banking system's stability is still a weak point in ensuring the financial stability of Vietnam. Several solutions proposed by industry experts to improve the financial system's operational efficiency include leveraging Fintech's strengths to promote financial inclusion, digital financial activities, and banking activities that follow the fourth industrial revolution trend and enhance payment security confidentiality.

During her presentation, Professor Grossbard dissected her studies and emphasized on the impact of COVID-19 on household economy, people’s health and the workforce in the society. Economics of the household plays a vital role in a country’s economy. Its analysis often revolves around: household information (including family size, health data, child and elderly care, marital status, etc.); immigration status and intergeneration gaps; empirical research on households; consumption, savings and accumulation of household wealth; labor force and employment duration; family welfare and issues on gender, authority, fertility rights, religion and ethnicity, etc. Professor Shoshana Grossbard is a current Editor-in-Chief of Review of Economics of the Household Journal, a member of the Family Inequality network at the University of Chicago, USA, a researcher at IZA and CESifo, and scholar at San Diego State University. On July 1st, 2021, as a keynote guest speaker for JABES International Scientific Conference – JABES Seminar Talks in July and leading expert in the field of household economics, Professor Grossbard were able to conduct a thorough presentation and explanation on the topic of "How does the economics of the household help us deal with Covid-19?". The rapid outbreak and spread of the COVID-10 pandemic have severely impacted the surrounding community, most notably people’s health and the overall economy of the nation. In dealing with the ongoing aftermath of the crisis, various policies have been put in place to help prevent COVID from affecting more lives while effectively trying to restore the economy, all of which are still some of the largest global challenges at present. Having said that, on the occasion of July JST, Professor Grossbard moved to present her studies and numerous evidence supporting the theory of how COVID is seriously impacting families as it deteriorate people’s health and the labor force. More specifically, Professor Grossboard cited several prominent research articles that discussed the impact that COVID-19 has on household economics, such as one written by Del Boca et al (2020) analyzing the domestic roles of women and men in childcare before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study presented an interesting outcome, showing that women tend to hold much higher importance in household production as opposed to their male counterparts. Or another article written by Heggeness (2020) where they denoted the immediate shock factor that COVID has on the mother’s dilemma of choice between upholding their professional capacity or childcare responsibilities. Comparable to these studies and those conducted by Harris (2020), Sheth & Wright (2020), Professor Grossbard’s own study raised two key issues for the JST discussion, which included (1) analyzing COVID-related causes of death, which was a research done jointly between Professor Grossbard and Ainhoa Aparicio (Italy), and (2) assessing the composition of the labor resources, COVID and the law on division of marital property, which was done by both Professo Grossbard and Cynthia Bansak (USA) and Crystal Ho-Po Wong (Taiwan). The studies conducted in 2021 between Professor Grossbard and her colleagues were aimed at addressing the three following questions: (1) Does multigenerational cohabitation have an upward trend effect on COVID-19 mortality rates?; (2) What are the benefits that countries might see after a pandemic?; and (3) Are COVID fatalities in the US higher than in the EU? (Grossbard & Ainoa Aparicio, 2021). To conduct this study, the Professor and her colleagues have collected data across 35 European countries and all 50 US states. Regarding the first question, Professor Grossbard agreed, as did other studies such as Bayer & Kuhn (2020) or Belloc et al (2020), that the cohabitation of multiple generations of a family during the pandemic does play into driving an upward trend of COVID cases. Then, the studies conducted between the Professor and her colleague Ainoa Aparicio (2021) were used to address the second question that countries that are affected by the pandemic later than others often had more time to prepare and reduce the mortality rate to 7.9% – 10% In addressing the third question on whether COVID fatalities in the US are higher than in the EU, Professor Grossbard used demographics and economic variables to explain the regression model. The difference in pandemic prevention and control between the US and Europe is explained below: It is also easy to see that due to COVID, many schools were forced to close, compelling more women to stay home and perform childcare duties as compared to men, which tipped the scales against and caused a rise in women leaving the workforce. What that entailed is that most workforce members will have to spend more time on household chores and duties than contributing themselves to the professional industries. And the fact that women tend to spend more time on familial duties raised various questions and concerns for legislators on how to adequately manage assets divisions upon divorce, so as to uphold equal women’s rights for those whose main jobs are of homemakers. The seminar had done well and with flying colors. Participants, all of whom are researchers and scholars from different institutions worldwide, were able to learn from and exchange intriguing conversations with their colleagues on household economies in the context of unpredictably impacts of COVID-19 towards the global economy.

Many solutions have been proposed. Places of residence have many shortcomings According to Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, accommodation for workers at businesses is increasingly concerned, especially when many localities are implementing social distancing. Currently, enterprises have to rent concentrated accommodation for workers to stay. However, this is too costly and only suitable for businesses with financial potential. Some companies provide temporary housing for workers at the production site. No matter how the enterprise deploys it, it will also cause workers to face more obstacles than normal living conditions. “Having a suitable residence for workers, well connected to the production location will help businesses maintain production while complying with anti-epidemic safety criteria, ensuring dual goals” – Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai said. Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (Photo: D.V) According to Professor, the prolonged time of separation caused a part of enterprises to stop production, workers had no jobs, and incomes decreased. Therefore, workers cannot afford accommodation and food, so they find their way back to their hometown to avoid the pandemic. These immediate reactions are reasonable for the individual but will cause labor shortages when society moves into the new normal. Moreover, returning workers to their hometown can increase the burden on their relatives and homeland. Experiences from Bac Giang, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Dong Nai Provinces are typical examples in recent months. Through surveying many industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong, Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai found that land area in industrial zones is vast but mainly for production. As for green buildings, accommodation and other social facilities such as kindergartens and hospitals are scarce, or even nonexistent. His comments show that the initial planning of industrial zones often has social infrastructure, including accommodation for workers. However, when implementing, there are still many shortcomings, the issue of housing for workers is less concerned. According to Prof. Hoai, businesses often save accommodation costs for employees due to economic efficiency even though they know human resources are decisive for development, competition and profit. "Enterprises see that paying employees is fulfilling their social responsibility, so they let employees balance their accommodation needs by themselves" - Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai shared. Then, what is the solution? According to Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai, the economic recovery strategy after the pandemic will undoubtedly have many concerns, and problems of worker’s accommodation cannot be ignored. However, there are still shortcomings that need to be improved to quickly recover and increase their risk tolerance in the future. The place where the workers live has not been paid enough attention He suggested that industrial zones need to be implemented plans that already have social infrastructure works such as accommodation, trees, kindergartens, cultural and sports areas, and other social facilities. It needs to be implemented quickly, without delay , systematic and synchronized with care from many parties. “The figure of more than 3% of land for social infrastructure works in industrial zones is too small. Currently, only about 50% of industrial zones implement social infrastructure works. Meanwhile, businesses have not focused on these issues, and the units that develop industrial park infrastructure have not fulfilled their responsibilities." the Professor said. “Currently, we are dealing with the Delta variant and in the future may face other stronger and faster variants. Therefore, if we did not prepare under normal conditions, we may continue to be passive," said Professor Nguyen Trong Hoai. Next, the industrial zone needs to be systematically linked to the urban area with a workers' accommodation network next to it. Industrial zones should aim at "green industrial zones" or industrial "symbiosis" development associated with urban services, including worker accommodation services. To do this, the Government needs to have policies to encourage investment in housing for workers. Transporting from workers’ accommodation to the industrial park also needs to be systematically connected with the public bus network. It creates convenience for workers and reduces traffic jams, especially in big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, in the coming time, it is necessary to standardize private hostels with a regulation that ensures living space, minimum utilities, hygiene, and minimum distances,... This regulation should be encouraged, and make it mandatory for landlords and tenants. "Workers in industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City and Bac Giang have been cross-infected due to unsafe living conditions," said Prof. Nguyen Trong Hoai. The professor suggested, "megacities" such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi need to reduce the pressure of workers to stay to work with a long-term strategy. Typically, skilled labor and technology are used instead of simple labor. This is to reduce the pressure of density of residents to comply with safe living conditions. When the accommodation is guaranteed to be safe and competently serve the needs of employees, businesses will develop sustainably, thereby effectively contributing to the country's economy.

Developed as a replacement for the current software, it is with hope that the new version can help improve the quality of executive management at UEH in its efforts to expedite the university’s digital transformation in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 With plans to reform operational duties as well as saving time and costs and as part of UEH digital transformational strategy, the new E-Office system was finally updated and deployed for use with hopes to bring about a professional digitalized working environment at the university. The updated E-Office system includes many new upgrades and interactive functions such as digital signatures, assigning internal inter-departmental tasks, archiving legal documents, all in an effort to manage workload associated with monitoring and evaluating individual and unit OKRs. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH shared: “As a key and important contributor in Vietnam’s higher education system, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City always strive to innovate, internationalize, and take the lead in all efforts of digital transformation for the university. The introduction of this new E-Office system is a prime example of such mission. Within the span of 365 days and under the diligent and hard work of our IT Department, it’s milestone worth celebrating that this new system is now ready for use, albeit needing further upgrades with more elaborated functions in the future. Nonetheless, at present, university employees and teaching staff can already access the platform to implement a document tracing system, look up legal documents and most especially, commencing the start of digital efforts in university management activities. Moving forward, the system will also integrate UEH KPI evaluation system so as to become a comprehensive system that can assign, monitor and assess the quality of completed works done by each UEHer. Additionally, the system will also be incorporated within the UEHer Mobile App and other departmental websites/software to ensure a consistent digitalized front throughout the entire university. It is expected that by the end of this year, the E-Office system will be fully developed so that starting next year, smooth operations for the multidisciplinary UEH University can be ensued.” UEH E-Office system training session To prepare for the official implementation from September 1, 2021, UEH held a training session on how to use the Electronic Office system (E-Office) with the participation of more than 190 teachers, school officials on the morning of August 31, 2021. During the session, MSc. Dang Thai Thinh – Deputy Head of the IT Department, carefully instructed all UEH personnel on how to use the main functional modules of the system such as how to reserve UEH vehicles, how to process incoming/outgoing/legal/public documents, and how to carry out internal documents and assign duties. MSc. Dang Thai Thinh – Deputy Head of IT Department on E-Office user instructions Trainees in attendance of the training were eager to learn how to operate the new system as well as enthusiastically shared their own experience and suggestions on ways to make the E-Office platform even more user-friendly and accessible. Dr. Vo Tat Thang - School of Economics proposed: "It’s always been a struggle to manage the various activities and joint projects across the different Schools and Departments within the university as none were actively synced to one another. However, with this new system upgrade, I’m hopeful that all Schools and working units can now enjoy a more seamless experience when working together” Lively discussion after the training session about the E-Office system With aspirations to optimize university operations, the E-Office system will continue to be improved in the coming days with more functions and integrations with existing apps, software, and applications to ensure synchronization cross the university. It is with hope that the system will enable more fruitful collaboration between the university official, employees and teaching staff as well as more constructive feedback to help improve and enhance the E-Office capacity in the days of UEH digital transformation. The introduction of UEH new and improved E-Office system is one powerful move in UEH’s overall digital transformation efforts as it will have a significant impact on UEH university brand reputation of a smart learning and working environment. Additionally, this is also a step forward to turn UEH into a pioneer in technology application-oriented training, meeting the demands of an increasingly competitive and integrated labor market.

The 4th COVID resurgence has undoubtedly caused insurmountable hardships to Vietnam and its people through repeated lockdowns and social distancing orders. Not only did the pandemic severely stunted the nation’s economy and overall development, but it had also stranded individuals and families, most especially current and future UEH students and their parents, from having the means to defend themselves during this difficult time. For that reason, UEH has deployed a student support program that is worth up to 25 billion VND, a 5% tuition reduction policy across all academic levels and 1000 scholarships to those directly affected by the pandemic. Upon the first cycle of COVID scholarships phase 1 of 2021, UEH has issued 218 scholarships across all levels, including 167 Undergrads, 6 Transfers, 6 Post-Baccalaureates, 24 Work-Studies, and 15 Post-Graduates with total value of more than 1 billion VND. In addition, the university also placed strong emphasis on struggling students currently stranded in Ho Chi Minh City, including those residing in UEH dormitories and other temporary housing situations in need of daily essential necessities and medical supplies. Having said that, the first 2 support phases July 27 – 30 and August 5 – 8 have managed to bring more than 700 care packages have been delivered, including dry foods and perishables such as rice, eggs, cereal, spices and greens, etc. For the 3rd support wave August 26 – 29, due to strict lockdown orders from the government on Directive 16/CT-TTg, UEH continued to deliver more care packages to 703 struggling students across the city. More specifically, UEH volunteers directly supplied 52 medical care packages (including medical masks, antibacterial saline, hand sanitizer, vitamin C, antipyretic/pain relievers, etc.), and food and products (instant rice, noodles, greens, etc.) to those in emergent situations. On top of that, 651 other underprivileged students were also given financial support from the university with total value of more than 358 million VND via wire transfers, allowing them the freedom and mobility to seek direct help from their wards and districts. Thus far, more than 1,7 billion VND of UEH fund has been carefully distributed to support students and families in need affected by the pandemic. This program denotes UEH’s sense of social responsibility, as well as warm and heartfelt sentiments, in taking care of its people while strictly abiding by lockdown and social distancing regulations from the government. UEH volunteers delivering care packages to students stranded in their dorms in Ho Chi Minh City As for current boarding students staying in UEH dormitories, since the first few days of Directive 16 implementation, in addition to foods and medical products, the university also quickly moved to supple them and the in-house staff with other daily amenities such as detergent, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, etc., with total value of nearly 300 million VND. In the effort to support students, UEH has received the sharing hearts of many sponsors, helping the university to cook free meals for boarding students in the dormitory (2 lunches and dinners) with the amount up to 300,000,000 VND (as of September 1, 2021). Besides, there is the sharing and companionship of businesses, which have connected and supported products for boarding students with an amount of more than 40,000,000 VND. At the same time, the Lao Embassy gave 10 cash gifts to 10 Laotian and Cambodian students staying at dormitory 135 Tran Hung Dao, District 1 with a total value of 7,500,000 VND. In particular, with the spirit of "the former helps the latter", the Executive Board of UEH Alumni Network has called and mobilized alumni to join hands to support the students to overcome this difficulty. Many alumni enthusiastically participated and supported the students with a total amount of 265,750,000 VND, 5 tons of rice and other essential necessities. Moreover, many alumni, especially alumni who used to stay in the dormitory, have campaigned to support the students staying in the dormitory with breakfast, necessities, instant noodles, fruit. plants and food with a total value of more than 180,000,000 VND. Dormitory Management Board awarded alumni cash support to students at Dormitory 135 Along with that, many UEH Schools/Institutes have also directly organized support programs for students with difficult circumstances due to Covid-19. For example, the program "SCUER x SOBER Spread Love During the Pandemic" is organized by the Executive Board of SCUE in conjunction with the teachers of the School of Banking to support SCUEers in particular and students of the School of Banking in general. In the first phase (August 19), the program supported 82 students who were stuck in Ho Chi Minh City or infected with a total amount of 85,000,000 VND. In the second support phase (August 29), 68 students received support with a total amount of 68,000,000 VND. If including the amount of support for its members, the SCUE UEH fund has helped hundreds of students with an amount of up to nearly 200,000,000 VND in just the past one month. This is a testament to the traditional culture of solidarity, promoting the spirit: "no one is left behind". The program “SCUER x SOBER Giving Love During the Pandemic Season” supports hundreds of students facing difficulties due to the epidemic For officials and relatives in need of support during the epidemic period, the university gave 50 emergency safety bags including: medical masks, antibacterial saline, Multivitamin, Efticol, Panadol Extra, Acetyl 200, Oresol , ZinC, ... together to overcome the epidemic. And united with the whole country to overcome the epidemic, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City also has many activities to support and support epidemic prevention for many localities and medical facilities. Responding to the university's call, UEHers jointly donated to the Covid-19 Vaccine Fund with a total budget of VND 550,000,000. With practical and timely support activities, UEH hopes to spread positive energy to all UEHers, together continue to make efforts, adapt to the pandemic context, to accomplish the dual goal of controlling both disease control, while ensuring that the university's operations run smoothly and stably. At the same time, UEH also sincerely appreciates alumni, teachers, officials, employees, businesses and sponsors who have accompanied UEHers to overcome difficulties during the epidemic season.

The event was held online with the participation of prestigious universities domestically and internationally, bringing together hundreds of participants representing academia and business from many countries in the region and the world. The model of alternate or dual education (“dual education” in English and “formation par alternance” in French) is a new approach, with a rhythmic alternation between theoretical training at university and practical training in the workplace. Typically, the weekly alternating rhythm consists of 2-3 school days and the rest of the time at work. There are also schools in which dual semester is applied, in which each year consists of semesters at school interspersed with at least one semester at the business. The dual education model is considered as a promising direction and creates a stronger connection between the economic and educational sectors, especially when there is an increasing autonomy in universities, in order to encourage the mobilization of all resources and initiatives to improve training quality to serve the goals of socio-economic growth, in both quantity and quality. This is a key factor in building modern training programs, adapting to the highest requirements of society and the labor market. The dual education model is considered a promising direction However, besides the benefits, this model also faces many barriers, such as training costs (paid by enterprises) and the need for national support policies in terms of finance or through subsidies, tax exemptions, and reductions, limited reception capacity of small and medium enterprises, the need to improve internal management processes at both enterprises and schools, and quality control mechanism. Some critical questions were proposed as follows: Faced with all these opportunities and challenges, can Vietnam learn from the experiences of countries in the world such as Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, China, and South Korea... to develop this model in Vietnamese universities to ensure the best career opportunities for graduates, especially in the context that Vietnamese universities need to improve their competitiveness, train qualified human resources according to international standards, meeting the growing economic development needs of the country? How will the enterprise's human resource policy benefit from this model of cooperation with universities? Experts attend the international conference "The development of the dual education model" In search of answers to these issues, an international conference around the topic "The development of the dual education model" organized by the UEH Institute of Tourism in collaboration with the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie AUF (France) was officially held with a plenary session and a parallel session. The content of the discussion revolved around three main themes: 1. The ability to adjust training programs to meet the needs of the labor market better. 2. The dual education model and legal framework: Opportunities, challenges and practical experiences. 3.

Constantly striving to become stronger, UEH has implemented a restructuring strategy, forming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University with the consensus, solidarity and efforts of all collective leadership, lecturers, officials and employees. Those efforts have been clearly demonstrated through 14 outstanding initiatives in all fields, contributing to UEH overall development. Within 2021-2030 period, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City officially implemented the restructuring strategy to form a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University with a reputation in Asia. UEH brand positioning strategy takes contribution to the sustainable future of the community and the society as a destination with 05 core pillars: Training, Research, Administration, Operation and Community Connection along with 04 positioning values: (1) Learners at UEH are oriented to become global citizens who act for sustainable development; (2) From research and consultancy to positive results for the community and the society; (3) UEHer community together towards sustainable development and artistic inspiration; (4) Contribution for a sustainable future. With the determination to implement the restructuring strategy, all UEH leaders, lecturers, officials and employees have joined our hands in efforts to contribute to UEH common development. These valuable efforts are reflected in the following 14 UEH 2021 initiatives as follows: [1] Building a training system in the forms of face-to-face and online hybrid learning (hybrid learning) at UEH The Covid-19 pandemic has seriously affected the global socio-economic life, including the education sector. The epidemic took place in the context of digital transformation and 4.0 Revolution that have led to revolutionary changes in education. With the available platforms in online learning application, UEH actively builds a training system in the form of face-to-face and online hybrid learning (hybrid learning) to ensure the benefits of learners, adapting to the new normal. This form of implementing synchronous classes for face-to-face and online teaching concentrates on connecting traditional classrooms and virtual learning spaces together. UEH has prepared classrooms with all necessary equipment (microphones connecting to online computers, pens written on touch screens, cameras recording the entire classroom and so on) and organized training and experiences for teaching staff. Starting from November 1st, 2021, a number of subject classes have been piloted in hybrid learning form and will be officially deployed and widely applied at UEH from the 2022 school-year. In the future, hybrid learning will be a suitable form of learning, bringing the trend of the times. UEH will gradually research, perfect and apply this method in training activities towards UEH comprehensive and sustainable development. [2] Building an online exam organization system at UEH The initiatives regarding the process of managing and organizing online exams at UEH as well as development and application in the context of complicated epidemic conditions in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the whole country in general have brought about practical and satisfying effects, meeting the professional requirements in training at UEH, listed as: ensuring the strict implementation of regulations in terms of the Covid-19 epidemic prevention; ensuring that students do not have to interrupt their exams in the context of complicated epidemics; maximizing support for learners who can take the exam in the worst conditions (like isolation) and so on. In addition, the initiative helps UEH overall training progress not to be interrupted or delayed; saving costs of exam organization (cost of exam paper, scratch paper, ink, paper for copying exam questions and so on); helping to be more proactive in scheduling exams; saving a lot of funds for examination rooms and examination staff compared to those of direct exams; most exam forms are automatically graded by software so it saves time to mark tests faster and gives accurate and objective results. [3] A series of admission counseling activities for learners on the online portal In the context of the pandemic impacts, with the aim of providing the most complete and timely information for candidates admitted to Regular Universities in 2021 and their parents as well as ensuring the enrollment target completion was entrusted by UEH Board of Directors, UEH Training Department actively cooperated with Units providing a series of online counseling activities at the Admission portal nhaphoc.ueh.edu.vn with topics, listed as: Consulting procedures admission procedures and procedures; Consulting on Standard programs, high-quality Bachelor programs, Talented bachelors; Advising on English entry standards and Regulations on transfer of English scores; Consulting on integrated bi-disciplinary training and so on. This is the first time that all admission counseling activities are held online compared to the previous courses; nevertheless, it has brought great efficiency, completely contributing to the enrollment success of Course 47 – Regular Course of 2021 at UEH. The number of UEH students enrolling has been the largest in more-than-45-year establishment and development of UEH. This is also a premise for UEH to continue pioneering digitalization in the field of education. [4] Model to optimize training program to enroll Regular College Union students through the method of combining working and learning while studying at Vinh Long Branch Since Business Accounting Major and Management Major of Regular College Union are not enough to open classes as prescribed; therefore, UEH builds a model to optimize the training program to enroll full-time College students in accordance with the method of combining with working-and-studying university at Vinh Long Branch. This is the first initiative ever applied at UEH, the development of a training plan for Regular University is based on a combination of the progress and plan of the physical education system, ensuring optimization in enrollment and training. When it is put into operation, this model enrolls two full-time college-university classes majoring in Business Accounting (18 students) and Administration (17 students), contributing to achieving the enrollment target of Vinh Long brand in 2021. Since there is no need to open a new course, the model does not incur related costs and brings many economic benefits.

[6] Measuring UEH brand influence nationally and internationally by "Writing a multidisciplinary and sustainable university story together with UEH" International Slogan contest. In 2021, UEH officially implements our restructuring and brand positioning strategy, aiming for University of Multidisciplinary and Sustainability. In order to prepare and survey the community's response to UEH brand repositioning, UEH Department of Marketing and Communication advised UEH Board of Directors to organize a meeting, instead of investing in conducting a large-scale market survey: “Writing the story of a multidisciplinary & sustainable university together with UEH” International slogan contest. With 03 objectives: (1) Identifying UEH image in the minds of domestic and international communities; (2) Exploring communication, awareness and understanding of the meaning and content regarding UEH Brand positioning; (3) Looking for a suitable slogan for UEH in the new period. Being held for 2 months with 03 international studios, this contest has received active support from the domestic and international community with nearly 150 entries, of which 30% are from international, 60 media channels. In addition, this approach helps UEH save a large amount of budget to do brand health assessment survey, which is especially necessary before repositioning. This contest also has an impact on raising UEH brand, indirectly affecting UEH enrollment, training, research, consulting and community connection activities. [7] Building and developing UEH Endogenous Database Management Software (UEH Digital Repository): scientific products, authors’ profiles, sharing information resources in an open direction. UEH Digital Repository, a digital collection of scientific products (articles/research results) of UEH community, is managed by open source software DSpace. UEH Digital Repository has been officially implemented since October 2018, as a result of the process of UEH Library research with detailed design and testing since the end of 2016. Up to November 8th, 2021, UEH Library has compiled entries and publishes 17,572 documents on UEH Digital Repository; 13,800 documents indexed by Google Scholar (equivalent to 80%). The current version, aiming at users as graduate students and graduate students, focuses on exploiting theses and dissertation collections. In 2021, UEH Library made a breakthrough, choosing DSpace-CRIS 6.x and implemented a customized version 2021 (demo) aiming at users of the domestic and international academic communities, promoting UEH scientific products and connecting UEH researchers with scholars in a digital environment. UEH Digital Repository contributes to increasing the citation index of scientific products by optimizing the ability to link and display on many search tools as well as learning, teaching and research systems; concurrently, supporting the accrediting and ranking of universities (QS Ranking, Webometrics, AUN-QA, FIBAA) and contributing to the success of “Strengthening UEH Academic Reputation for 2020- 2025 period” Project. [8] Access control system by smart IOT lock technology Towards digitization in UEH administration and operation, a smart lock system has been deployed at UEH, allowing to unlock the door through a mobile application, fingerprint or password without using a key, saving management time and effort. Administrators can authorize UEH officials to access rooms and the time they are open. In terms of officials, if they need to enter any room, they can register online at key management application. During the process of use, the manager can count the specific numbers of the in-or-out turns of the room at a certain period of time. In terms of meetings taking place at UEH campus, the list of meeting members will be granted the right to unlock the meeting room automatically through the weekly schedule. In terms of lecturers, the system automatically grants the right to unlock via the phone application when there is a lecture in a room with a smart lock, instead of having to wait for the room manager to open the door like before. [9] Fireside Chat Innovation Startup Incubator Fireside Chat is a series of interactive and inspirational sharing chats with entrepreneurs, startup founders and experts regarding their life lessons and inspirational stories. Believing that every idea has a story, it's important for young startup founders and students to be inspired by positive thinking, invaluable lessons and sparking momentum. More than just a productive conversation, it's also an informal (but) active learning through sharing, questioning, debate and reflection. Consequently, UEH Innovation Institute (UII) has implemented the idea of ​​​​organizing talks for startup projects, students and the startup community to exchange experiences on entrepreneurship and to learn from new knowledge and technological development trends. In addition, the fact that the form of creating a knowledge-sharing community is not only held domestically but also internationally attracts many experts to attend and be aware of Institute of Innovation. Up to the present time, this program has released 4 issues with domestic and foreign experts, attracting nearly 200 participants of the project incubating at UEH Incubator. With the amount of knowledge and experience shared by the speakers, this activity is open to all students who love entrepreneurship and wish to hone their employability skills.

Besides, with the security mechanism of Blockchain technology, it will make the market very difficult to be attacked, bringing high safety and sustainability to the whole system. What is the most appropriate solution to apply Blockchain technology in building a decentralized stock market in Vietnam? Background and historical mission of technology-based non-traditional trading methods As far as we are all aware, the traditional stock market with a centralized management system can be targeted by hackers; therefore, the security of the current stock market model is not high. Besides, this traditional market model is the place where power is concentrated in controlling, setting prices and imposing related costs. Furthermore, the system is being heavily dependent on intermediaries called brokers, benefiting from transaction fees, which are unnecessary fees and should be eliminated in the new model. Another limitation of the current stock market model is that the transaction processing time is too long, the settlement process takes a long time in general, which destroys the dynamic nature of the stock market. Industrial Revolution 4.0 era along with Blockchain birth allows us to think of building a completely new stock market model with a completely decentralized mechanism, which will be an innovative solution that will overcome inherent shortcomings in the traditional stock market model. Proposing Blockchain technology application in building a decentralized stock market in Vietnam In accordance with the advantages of Blockchain technology, listed as eliminating intermediaries: stock exchanges, securities companies, clearing and settlement centers, contributing to minimizing transaction costs in the market; concurrently, to increase the security and the safety of the entire stock market, our authors propose to build a decentralized stock exchange model as follows: Trading method on exchange floor using Blockchain technology This solution is to build a decentralized stock market that aims to provide a solution to all the disadvantages of a centralized market by providing: (1) unification for all transactions, (2) automatic confirmation through smart contracts, (3) transparency of algorithms through smart contract code, and (4) low transaction fees through a competitive peer-to-peer market. A smart contract is a piece of code that describes business rules that need to be verified and accepted. Therefore, an actual legal contract can be viewed as a set of instructions. These contracts are registered in Blockchain, similar to transactions. They can be triggered in the future by transaction calls and its state will be updated based on the smart contract execution results. Smart contracts should be viewed as a stateful, functional element that can be activated at any time after successful implementation. The purpose of a smart contract is to replace third parties (judges, notaries, escrow, brokers, etc.) with a neutral agent that operates in accordance with a defined set of rules in advance. The specific terms of a smart contract depend heavily on the framework that implements it. Securities trading smart contracts are built on-chain when supply and demand meet and an order-matching transaction occurs. The transaction information is completely public and Blockchain network acts as a decentralized depository where each participant can keep track of all transactions and provide a copy of the data across the network. Furthermore, any modification to the custody is governed by consensus among the participants in the system and any kind of attack is not feasible because the state of the custody is stored in the block files in terms of anti-theft mechanism. Once there is a false notification of an order placed transaction between the peer-to-peer networks, this order integrity will be checked in the platform before execution. As a decentralized clearing house, each node in the network checks the order validity by ensuring that the transaction is guaranteed to be executed when the order is matched. For each BUY transaction, it validates whether the buyer has frozen the funds in case the transaction has enough funds to pay. This is checked against the required quantity and price, depending on the order type (SELL transaction does not require blockade). By freezing the funds inside the transaction, the actual amount will be used, no deposit is required. From this point on, the funds will be frozen and controlled by the contract and transferred to the seller once the order is executed. Similarly, whenever a SELL transaction is launched, the network confirms whether the seller owns a sufficient number of securities that he is willing to sell, by checking the imported entries of the decentralized deposit depot. Each market seller will issue a sell order with a suggested quantity and price. Similarly, the buyer will issue a buy order containing the quantity and the price they are willing to pay. After creating commands, these commands will be recorded and replicated in blocks across all nodes in the network. Consensus mechanisms are implemented in the blockchain system, which keep track of all these changes and confirm each state update corresponding to each buy/sell price received by the respective trader. Because StockMarket contract is replicated across all nodes in the network, subsequent transactions contained in a block are confirmed by each node in the network in the following way: To create a valid block, it must contain transactions along with the latest state of the account; in our case, it is StockMarket Contract. The latest states are determined by the miner after applying the action sequence represented by the transactions stored in that block. When one miner wins, its block is propagated to the entire network for verification and acceptance. Each node of the network will receive this newly-mined block and validate the state transitions, by performing all known states related transactions from the previous block; after that, comparing the results between the block received by miners and their own computation. The proposed changed state is accepted if and only if the validation is correct; otherwise, the block is discarded and new block proposals are accepted. Consequently, the system provides a fully replicated and highly reliable decentralized application, where each node is responsible for validating the integrity of registered actions: owned assets, transaction and offer prices, market prices, settlement prices and so on. The management proposal system provides complete decentralization as well as provide a democratic system where each stakeholder can have transparent access to all the algorithms and implemented transactions, verify and validate the integrity of these transactions. Furthermore, one important improvement of the system is the lower fees obtained by eliminating the middlemen who are representing the customers. These fees are replaced by mining fees needed to provide security and system integrity by rewarding miners for their honest work. Advantages of Decentralized stock trading model compared to those of Centralized model Being hard to be attacked: Since each participant will be backed up by a decentralized and distributed ledger of transactions, data loss is unlikely unless hackers can hack into the computers of all participants in this stock market at the same time. Transactions are difficult to be fixed: The possibility of a 51% oversold attack is theoretically and practically impossible as a hacker must take control of 51% of the network nodes on the system to be able to correct any transaction. Besides, transaction correction can only be conducted in newly generated blocks, not fixing blocks in the past when it has been attached to Blockchain. Minimizing transaction costs: The elimination of intermediaries, listed as stock exchanges, securities companies and stockbrokers will minimize transaction costs for investors. The transactions are confirmed automatically through the computer system of the participants. Minimizing clearing time: After the smart contract is executed, the clearing between the buyer and the seller will be automatically performed immediately without having to wait for T+3 as the transactions according to the current traditional method. Helps increase liquidity and minimize clearing time for investors. Avoiding price making, putting virtual orders on the floor: The fact that the public trading can only be traded if there are real stocks will avoid price making phenomenon, pushing virtual orders on the floor, causing market distortions like traditional stock exchanges. Avoiding congestion and overload of centralized system: Because the transaction mechanism is a peer-to-peer network mechanism, putting orders into a server system for processing leads to overload will not occur to a decentralized transaction model when orders are executed peer-to-peer and concurrently through distributed network nodes, therefore, limiting the overload of the old centralized transaction mechanism. Disadvantages of this model Being unable to be corrected is both the advantage but also the disadvantage of the model. Once the transaction has been made and confirmed to be included in the blockchain, it cannot be edited or deleted on the blockchain system anymore. It can be inferred that when the order is placed incorrectly and the order has been matched, the order cannot be corrected. Generally speaking, each new revolution has certain advantages and disadvantages; however, it is a general movement to develop new ones and eliminate old ones that are no longer relevant. Therefore, to be able to apply this model in practice, we need to build a suitable roadmap and come up with plans to optimize the advantages and to minimize the disadvantages of the model. From this foundation, building a stock market under a decentralized mechanism provides an additional effective capital transmission channel for the economy in the future.

This paper is in Series Spreading researches and applied knowledge from UEH, we would like to invite distinguished readers Newsletter ECONOMY NUMBER #23 “Employment Policy for Ho Chi Minh City in Post-social distancing Period” News, photos: Author group, UEH Department of Marketing – Communication. Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology Human resource, one important issue, needs to be prioritized to be solved, especially in the current post-social distancing context. It can not be denied that this severe labor shortage affects all economical aspects. The authors have provided actual figures describing labor supply and demand issues as well as forecast the current employment situation, thereby, proposing short-term and long-term employment policies for Ho Chi Minh City in the near future. Labor and employment context after social-distancing After 4-month social distancing implementation, with timely regulations from Resolution 128/NQ-CP, Vietnamese economical activities are gradually returning. However, in terms of labor and employment, the impacts and risks from the pandemic are not small. According to data from General Statistics Office, this Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected 59% of the population aged 15-and-over in Southeast region and 45% in Mekong Delta. Also in these two regions, the decrease in the number of employed people in 3rd quarter of 2021 compared to 2nd quarter was 14.7% and 8.7%, respectively whereas workers’ average income decreased by 30% and 14%, respectively, in the same period. Besides, the pandemic can create a crisis loop with the formula: COVID-19 🡪 aggregate demand decrease/ production capacity reduction, supply chain disruption 🡪 job loss, income 🡪 decrease in aggregate demand 🡪 production stagnation 🡪 job loss, income 🡪 a decrease in aggregate demand and so on. In this context, the source of labor is a very important issue. Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is facing a labor shortage as 1.3 million people have returned to their hometown and 2.5 million workers have to stop working. This situation requires appropriate and timely decisions from managers to attract the workforce back to the southern economic locomotive to maintain and develop production. From an economic point of view, the above issue should be considered in accordance with supply and demand. Labor supply and demand are determined by each individual and the employer. In a normal state, the market will self-equilibrate labor supply and demand. In this situation of interrupted labor flow, unstable labor demand from the manufacturing sector as well as inconsistent socio-economic management policies due to the dependence on time and location of COVID-19 outbreak, Vietnamese State needs to intervene for a relative equilibrium achievement in the labor market. Labor demand-side issues In accordance with report by Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), enterprises are facing rising production costs, in which labor-related costs is an important source. The increase in production costs comes from an increase in: (i) import prices and transportation costs; (ii) labor use cost (social benefits, paid leave, ‘3-on-the-spot’ working plan application and so on); (iii) occupational safety and health costs (bacteria elimination, means of epidemic prevention, social distancing, testing and so on). ‘3-on-the-spot’ working model in places of businesses (Image source: Lao Dong Newspaper)= Besides the cost problem, enterprises also face difficulties in technological innovation; ensuring export markets; signing a new contract and completing the signed contract; ensuring competition and maintaining production and business (production and business). In terms of labor, difficulties in recruiting and retaining workers are also mentioned by many enterprises, especially in service industry. Some safety measures have been implemented by enterprises in the workplace, but the overall implementation rate is being low. This measure groups include: (i) Being recommended by Ministry of Health (approximately 54% of enterprises execute); (ii) Enhanced safety measures at enterprises (approximately 45% of enterprises implement); (iii) Implementing new working methods (less than 50% of enterprises apply) and (iv) Supporting staff in testing and vaccination (28% of enterprises participate). Diverse government policies support businesses in this epidemic context; however, the access rate is being low and the policy effectiveness is not high. Three main policy groups comprise: (i) Tax support (CIT reduction, VAT, PIT, land rent and so on); (ii) Capital and credit support (restructuring of debt repayment term; exemption and reduction of interest and fees; keeping debt groups unchanged and so on) and (iii) Social security support (reducing insurance contributions towards accident insurance, retirement funds, loans to businesses for wage payment and so on). The access rate of enterprises in each policy group accounts approximately 25-35% and only 10% of them rate high policy effectiveness. Issues regarding Labor supply During the period from 4th quarter of 2020 to 3rd quarter of 2021, the third and fourth epidemics continuously pulled the total labor force down from 50.9 to 47.2 million people. Of the estimated 1.3 million workers who have left Ho Chi Minh City, it is forecasted that 377,000 people will return in the fourth quarter of 2021; 520,000 people returned after Tet Lunar New Year; 140,000 people will not come back and 230,000 people have no specific plan. In accordance with the survey data from the group of workers who have left Ho Chi Minh City or Southeast region, factors that play a decisive role regarding workers’ returning to the workplace include: working conditions and income; medical conditions; living and living conditions; children' learning conditions and community habits. Surveyed workers are also worried about a variety of difficulties when returning to Ho Chi Minh City related to regulations on social distancing is unstable; travel and meeting epidemic prevention regulations; accommodation and daily life activities; employment and children' schooling. In terms of the worker group remaining in Ho Chi Minh City or Southeast region, a significant proportion has quit or switched to other intermittent work. The rate of complete leave is 21.6% in the group with full-time work; 43.5% in the group with part-time jobs; 70.3% in the self-employed group and 45.7% in self-employed group. On the other hand, a large proportion has switched to intermittent work, with values ​​of 21.6%, 30.4%, 16.2% and 25.7% respectively for the four groups mentioned above. Regarding workers’ attitudes and opinions towards returning to the city, the proportions that favor the views of “staying in HCMC and trying to find a suitable job” and “coming back to the city for work and livelihood” in the worker group who does not leave HCM City do not show much difference (45.5% and 40.6%) whereas 56.6% of respondents in this group will give advice to their relatives in the direction of staying in their locality. For the group that has returned to their hometown, the percentage of workers who are advised that their relatives stay in the locality is not much higher than that of those that advise their relatives to go to other large cities (39.6% compared to 34.5%) while they themselves support the option of returning to the city (63.8%). At the end of July, many people massively left localities with complicated development of Covid-19 epidemic to return to their hometowns. (Photo source: Tây Nguyên) Forecasts of labor and employment situation According to the forecast results, the labor force in Ho Chi Minh City will be narrowed, including migrant workers and local workers. The labor force participation rate of the young population aged 15-24 will decrease as unemployment increases. The unemployment rate of young workers will also be at risk of increasing. What is more, women's labor force participation and employment rates will also decrease besides the decline in employment and the slow recovery of occupational groups with a high concentration of female workers. Other short-term forecasts are rather negative. The total job number, the number of working hours in the economy and the workers’ average wage will also decrease. Women, middle-aged workers and basic workers without technical expertise are the group of workers that will be long-term affected by the epidemic in the near future. Regarding the working position, salaried workers will decrease, self-employed workers will increase. This increases the vulnerable group of workers and puts pressure on social welfare in the future. Regarding labor contracts, the number of employees signed with labor contracts will decrease, which means that the number of employees who cannot pay social insurance and health insurance may increase. Nevertheless, the ability to recover jobs in different sectors of the economy is different, some industries will recover faster and sooner than others. Industries with an increase in the employment rate include processing and manufacturing; information and communication; technological development; education and health services. Industries with a decrease in the labor rate can be mentioned as wholesale, retail, purchase, sale and repair of motorcycles and cars; warehouse transportation; accommodation and food services. Industries listed as mining; water and electricity supply; finance, banking and insurance; real estate business and other business services; state agencies; arts, entertainment and other family service activities are forecast to change little in the labor rate. These fluctuations will be temporary and the labor structure will continue to change when the economy enters the full recovery phase. Proposing labor and employment policies for Ho Chi Minh City * Direct job creation program from public projects Direct job creation programs create additional jobs in projects that are of a community or socially beneficial nature. These projects are often temporary and non-market in nature. Direct job creation programs can also be large labor-intensive infrastructure projects. Workers participating in these programs are often long-term unemployed or those in the informal sector who have lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Direct job creation or public job creation programs have three benefits: (1) Job creation for workers, especially disadvantaged groups; (2) Play the role of social protection, generating instant income; and (3) Public benefits/infrastructure work creation. As the labor market recovers, the direct job creation program will shrink. Programs to create public jobs to cope with unemployment and support jobs for vulnerable people are quite popular in countries around the world. Size, employment, duration, coverage, salary and budget depend on local realities. * Attracting employees back to work Two policy groups as tools that attract workers to return to work are: (1) using economic incentives, affecting individuals’ economic motivation; and (2) using behavioral economic tools, affecting the economic motivation of individuals into workers’ mentality. Behavioral economics tools have been used in many parts of the world, especially in OECD countries. Many studies show the same results, behavioral economic tools have lower costs than economic incentives. The main policy beneficiaries in this group are migrant workers who have returned to their hometowns and choose to work in the formal economic sector. Policies to attract laborers to return to work are in the group of policies in the short and medium terms. Economic incentive policies include two groups: Money: advance salary, labor contract Benefits: accommodation, vaccines, testing, transportation, skill training suitable for new jobs. Our research team proposes that state management agencies should develop welfare packages to attract workers back to work, including 3 main components: Job introduction + Accommodation support + Covid 19 vaccination. Behavioral science measures (psychology): Information/Propaganda: migrant/informal workers rarely follow official communication channels. Proposing the information dissemination regarding the working environment through social networks and celebrities. Building and strengthening trust. State management agencies provide policies and related information in a consistent and clear manner. Social influence (information spread in groups, communities): The employee's decision to work is mostly influenced by the decision of the person in the same identification group (compatriot group, religious group, and so on). Promoting communication within the group and influencing the team leader can be effective. Social norms: For example, how to motivate employees to return to work sooner, how to overcome the mentality of returning to work after Tet Lunar New Year (40% of survey respondents confirm that they only return to work after Lunar New Year. Only 28.7% are ready to return to work in 4th Quarter. See figure 2). Employee decisions are influenced by social norms. Changing the norm is difficult and takes time. State management agencies grasp this issue to have flexible policies. It is possible to organize a task force to detail the use of behavioral tools. During implementation, the task force evaluates the effectiveness of the policy, assesses actual feedback and adjusts the policy as necessary. The specialized group may include labor managers, researchers specializing in behavioral economics and labor economics. * Policies for group of labor demands (short-term policy) This important group of labor policies solves labor and employment issues caused by Covid-19 pandemic. World Bank's summary shows that enterprise-focused labor market policies play a key role in labor and employment policies during Covid-19 pandemic in 55 countries. Labor market policies mainly focus on supporting enterprises' liquidity and increasing flexibility in labor regulations. Policies to increase corporate liquidity/cash flow and flexibility in labor regulation are the most widely used labor market policies. The research team proposes that among the policies to improve the liquidity of enterprises, state management agencies should consider tax support policies for businesses, like: corporate tax payment delay, VAT deduction extension, additional tax deduction, time limit extension for tax obligation settlement. Credit guarantee support, loan payment (lowering loan interest rates, debt restructuring) may be considered, postponing/reducing social insurance contributions for employees as well as supporting electricity, water and rent. The liquidity support policy for enterprises should focus on the group of micro, small and medium enterprises, which is the majority of enterprises and employs many workers. * Labor market development policy group (long-term policy) As mentioned in the first part, one of the most difficult problems of the labor market is the connection between labor supply and demand, when information on labor supply and demand is unclear and uncertain. Connection problems will be even more difficult in Covid19 pandemic context. That Covid-19 pandemic disrupted business operations and mobility; concurrently, perceptions and attitudes leads to labor supply and demand behavior. Our research team proposes that in the long term, state management agencies should invest in building a technology platform to connect jobs for the public sector. A typical example of this is Australian Government's online job-matching site https://jobactive.gov.au/. The technology platform that connects public sector jobs makes it easier and more effective to promote the policy of direct job creation in Section 2.1. Vietnamese State management agencies can also consider policies to support the development of job-connecting technology platforms for low-skilled workers. Currently, job matching apps in Vietnam (Vietnamworks.com, careerbuilder.vn, mywork.com.vn, 1001 vieclam.com, vieclam.24h.com.vn etc.) require certain skills; therefore, bypassing the unskilled labor sector, which requires little skill. Job matching platforms can be extremely effective in Covid 19 context when workers are at home and are considering looking for a job in the city. The technology platform makes it possible for workers to find work remotely: once they have determined the job, they can plan to move and live more easily. This platform is based on a platform economic model, using digital technology to help connect the need to share idle human resources and the need to use those resources accurately, efficiently and quickly with and low cost. Job matching platforms also help build a database on the labor market so that policymakers can have more accurate information on labor supply and demand in each locality.

From PSU, the seminar welcomed Professor Steve Percy - PSU President, Professor Sy Adler - Dean of the School of Urban Management & Public Administration, Professor Birol Yesilada and other representatives from PSU. Additionally, Mr. Tony Wheeler - Representative from J.E. Austin Associates., Inc. (JAA), Ms Nguyen Khanh Cam Chau and Ms. Nguyen Phuong Thao - Representatives from the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and Mr. Peter Vaz - Project Manager of USAID Provincial Capacity Building (USAID SPC). Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of UEH Council giving the opening speech of the seminar In his opening keynote, Professor Nguyen Dong Phong - Chairman of UEH University Council remarked, “University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) is currently one of the leading universities in Vietnam with outstanding achievements in teaching and research. At the same time, UEH is in the Top 1000 Best Business Schools in the World, and Top 100 Best Master's Schools in the World, according to Eduniversal, Top 601+ Best Universities in Asia, according to QS Asia Ranking 2021, etc.. UEH constantly strives to innovate and improve the quality of educational programs, improve research capacity and academic activities, and develop international cooperation relationships. In restructuring to become a multidisciplinary university to enhance academic reputation and competitiveness in Asia, with strengths in Economics, Business, Law and Public Administration, UEH plans to integrate new industries such as Information Technology, Digitization, Urban Design, and more in its operations. UEH would love to pay PSU a visit in the near future to discuss and learn more about how to become a multidisciplinary university, and how to build a model with a decentralized and autonomous governance structure to ensure sustainable development. However, due to the impacts from the pandemic, that is unfortunately not possible. Nonetheless, this seminar is still a great virtual opportunity for UEH to hear from our predecessors the necessary steps to take during the restructuring process.” The seminar centered around the practical experience that PSU has been through in building and developing structures to govern a multidisciplinary university, as well as how to orient that model towards decentralization while ensuring increased autonomy for their member colleges/universities, faculties and affiliated institutes. Additionally, conversations around how UEH can take such arrangements to their advantage in order to achieve the university’s sustainable development goals were also conducted. PSU and JAA then shared various mechanisms to attract talents, encourage scientific research opportunities and expand services to diversity revenue resources for the university. Beyond their candid sharings, PSU continued by stating their commitment to supporting UEH in its restructuring efforts to establish a multidisciplinary UEH University in the near future so as to maximize UEH’s own capacity in academic training and research. UEH and PSU also discussed specific cooperation opportunities through joint training programs and research in areas of strengths from both universities to truly realize and improve the desired collaborative efficiency. Professor Steve Percy - Portland State University (PSU) President Professor Sy Adler - Dean of the School of Urban Management and Public Administration discussing practical operating model towards sustainable development goals Professor Birol Yesilada on the approach to multi-industry revenue model Mr. Tony Wheeler - JAA Representative discussing real experiences on innovation in training at university level Professor Su Dinh Thanh - President of UEH shared: “On behalf of UEH, I’d like to express my profound gratitude and appreciation for PSU and JAA’s very honest and candid sharing on various focuses of today’s seminar, namely the structure and governance of a multidisciplinary university. Your stories are and will continue to be valuable lessons for UEH to learn from as we go about transforming our own university. For that, I’m hopeful that further collaboration between UEH and PSU in joint training and research programs can be carried out fruitfully and soon. We’d also like to thank USAID and the SPC team for your immense continued patronage to UEH, and we too are in eager anticipation that UEH and USAID can have more cooperation programs in education in the near future.” Seminar commemorative photo session Located in Portland, Oregon, USA, Portland State University is one of the nation's most diverse public research universities. PSU is ranked as one of the nation's most innovative universities (according to US News & World Report), the Top Social Mobility university in Oregon, the Top 50 Green Universities in the nation, Top 10 universities in making a difference in the climate crisis and 5th in the US for community service learning. UEH and PSU are currently participating in the “Strengthening Provincial Capacity” project organized by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The project helps strengthen the capacity of three organizations in Vietnam, namely the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), the Faculty of State Management of UEH (SOG/UEH) and the Vietnam Science and Technology Entrepreneurial Fund (SVF). The purpose of the project is to improve and develop the capacity of economic management for provincial officials; at the same time, coordinate and cooperate with the private sectors towards promoting sustainable development of localities. Within the framework of the project, SOG/UEH is enthusiastic towards building long-term partnerships with Hatfield School of Government under PSU, which means PSU will provide technical support in developing training programs and focus on guiding SOG/UEH to improve their own curriculum design and content for training and consultation while enhancing provincial managerial capacities to ensure the sustainability of the training model. Throughout 45 years of growth and development, UEH continues to achieve great lengus of successes in Vietnam’s higher education system and worldwide. The year 2021 kicks off an important cornerstone for UEH in its long-term development strategy to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable university, an ambition that can and will surely be achieved through the joint extensive efforts of international cooperation and real-life experience sharing from many of the world’s leading universities.

It has been widely deployed by lecturers of the School of Accounting at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) to help students easily access a reality. Continuing to expand this modern method, recently, the School of Accounting has officially applied case studies in the form of the film False Assurance as a new learning material in teaching. False Assurance is the first training film produced by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), translated into more than 20 different languages, and won many awards from organizations and associations in the training profession. The 38-minute film highlights the importance of professional ethics, professional skepticism, and the need for quality control and information questioning when operating organizations and businesses. After signing a contract to receive the sponsorship of the right to use ICAEW's film False Assurance, on August 17, 2021, the UEH School of Accounting, in collaboration with ICAEW, co-organized the program "Training on the use of ICEAW False Assurance film in teaching Accounting - Auditing" for faculty members and accounting lecturers of Vinh Long campus. Speaking at the opening of the program, Dr. Bui Quang Hung - UEH Vice President shared: “Associating the training program with professional organizations and the community is considered an important goal in realizing the sustainability of the training program and the university in general. The University's Leadership Members highly appreciate this activity of the School of Accounting with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) in particular and the international associations of professional organizations in general because these are important partners, helping the University enhance the practicality, globalization and integration in the training program. The film (the case study) is not only for one subject, but it must be approached in the direction of many subjects, with multi-disciplinary and multi-field approaches. Therefore, this training session is not only an introduction to the film, but also an opportunity for lecturers of the School of Accounting in all subjects to exchange practical experiences, skills, and methods of imparting knowledge to learners". Dr. Bui Quang Hung - UEH Vice President delivered the opening speech Ms. Dang Thi Mai Trang – Chief Representative of ICAEW Vietnam, emphasized: “ICEAW Vietnam wishes to deploy this film to universities in Vietnam so that lecturers have more tools to support the training more effectively and attractively. It uses information technology, images, and illustrative examples for students to approach reality through the lens of the film". Ms. Dang Thi Mai Trang - Chief Representative of ICAEW VN shared about the film False Assurance At the training session, under the guidance of Mr. Phan Vu Hoang, Deputy General Director of Deloitte Vietnam, the lecturers watched 2 turbulent years of a hypothetical company. Before the discussion, Mr. Hoang confided: “Every time I re-watch the film to prepare to share about it, I see a different angle about it. There are psychological and emotional problems in life besides accounting, finance, risk management, auditing, .... I believe that a film that carries "the breath of the times" like False Assurance is not only useful to practitioners but also extremely valuable to students. You may soon be exposed to the atmosphere, working environment and issues surrounding the work that it may take years for us to realize.” Mr. Phan Vu Hoang led the discussion session which revolved around the film False Assurance The film received a lot of positive feedback from the lecturers participating in the training session: an excellent script that brings attraction and excitement to the viewers; the film is the brainstorming screen that changes rapidly; the knots have not been removed until the last minute... The most obvious thing is the excitement of the lecturers when discussing the use of film situations as learning materials. Compared with the traditional case method, this film case method has more advantages. Firstly, the film creates an opportunity for students to have an intuitive and vivid view of the reality of business activities of enterprises, thereby creating motivation and excitement for students in the learning process, helping students absorb the lesson better. Secondly, watching a film also helps students to follow real-time business practices, develop the ability to concentrate, and judge when observing the intertwined situations that arise continuously, at the same time perfecting soft skills, professional skills - things that are difficult for ordinary cases (descriptive passages) to convey fully. Thirdly, this learning material can be used for many subjects, thereby helping students see the relationship between subjects... Currently, when online training plays a core role, it's even more appropriate to use a film resource like False Assurance in teaching, especially in blended or flipped classes. Lecturers will easily implement the principle of lesson design, ensuring the properties of combination, granularity, reusability, interoperability. Learners will have more initiative in arranging study time, have a freer environment to be creative and complete learning goals.

In an effort to keep up our efforts, 2021 will be the kickoff year for the restructuring strategy, moving from a single-disciplinary model to a sustainable and multidisciplinary UEH University. In realizing and celebrating the transformation of our university, on September 9, 2021, UEH officially organized The International Launch Event UEH Slogan Competition “For the Multi-disciplinary and Sustainable UEH University”. This is a language competition, affirming thinking, creativity for all global citizens to participate in an education with practical values, sustainable development for the future. The event was very honored to welcome the participation of delegates: Prof. Barney Glover AO, the fourth Vice-Chancellor of Western Sydney University; Prof. Yi-Chen Lan, Pro Vice-Chancellor Global Development, Western Sydney University; Mr. Richard Moore, Chairman and Ideation Director of Richard Moore Associates company; Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council, Head of the Judging Panel; Prof. Su Dinh Thanh, President of UEH; Dr. Bui Quang Hung, Vice President of UEH; Assoc. Prof. Phan Thi Bich Nguyet, Advisory Council Chairwoman of UEH. Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council, Head of the Judging Panel delivered his opening remarks on UEH, our university future and the importance of the competition. During the event, the organizers received a lot of attention and questions from the UEH community, Vietnamese as well as international citizens. Therefore, the delegates had an exchange with the participants to give their views, suggestions and analysis of key issues related to the competition topic. To answer the question: "The meaning of the new defining values: UEH Community of Sustainable Changemakers", Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong shared: “Anyone who’s interested in UEH educational and research activities can recognize that over the past 45 years, in addition to successfully contributing to academic excellence, we have also acted greatly on connecting the overall community knowledge to build the UEH community. UEH is on the way to restructuring itself to become a multidisciplinary university, and as such, despite having been a leader in economics and business & public administration, we are planning to integrate new disciplines, such as Technology Design into our activities to further develop our future. In order for us to become a multidisciplinary and sustainable university, we would continuously develop the UEH community of sustainability changemakers through first the indication of UEH lecturers in excellent research & teaching, and learner’s group activities. Then, there’s also extracurricular activities and we will also start encouraging and engaging learners and staff to feel empowered to act sustainably. And lastly, and this is particularly for our leaders as they try their best to create and meulate success as we go.  Lastly, the leaders try their best to create success.” Prof. Su Dinh Thanh also shared about the influence of the spirit and personality of UEH University "Quality - Integrated - Innovative” encapsulates the growth strategy of UEH University in the next 5 years, from 2021 to 2025”: “UEH is embarking on new brand characteristics, being Quality, Integrated, Innovative, and Art Inspiring. Strategically speaking, I could see that these characteristics will have a major impact on the growth strategy of UEH University in the period of 2021 - 2025, as they would also affect the curriculum and teaching methods of our teaching staff. What’s more, I believe that this will also require students, when applying to UEH, to have their own preliminary understanding of UEH vision and mission, which is to develop and improve each student’s capacity in the new world. This will allow students to have their own general vision for themselves as they go through the entirety of their time at the university.” At the end of the event, Prof. Barney Glover AO shared: Can I begin by acknowledging Chairman Professor Nguyen Dong Phong, a great friend of WSU and an honorary doctor of our university, and President Thanh, it’s wonderful to see you and your colleagues. I’m very excited at the opportunity to speak briefly at this event this evening because it is a milestone moment for UEH to transition to a multidisciplinary & sustainable university committed to the principles of sustainability. As previous speakers have said, great universities in the world addressing the challenges we face need to be multidisciplinary, and I think this particular moment for UEH is highly significant as it broadens from economics & management where it’s like fine, internationally-recognized university to encompass new disciplines to address the great challenges of the 21st century, and that will be a hallmark of its success as a multidisciplinary and sustainable university into the future. The Times Higher Education (THE) rankings now provides us with an impact ranking, with a very detailed assessment of the commitment of universities around the world to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and. I believe UEH University will be recognized as one of the great contributors in our region to sustainability. So I congratulate the university on its 45th anniversary. It's a wonderful milestone in and of itself, a young university but at the same time, transitioning over the next 5 years to reach 50 years of age to be what I believe will be one of the most important multidisciplinary universities of our region. Western Sydney University looks forward to further partnerships with UEH university as we continue to share matching commons. We are one of the most highly rated universities in the world where our commitment to the UN’s SDGs is #17 in the world, so we are very committed to working closely with our friends UEH University and ISB as part of this great family into the future. They’re the hallmarks of a successful multi & sustainable university. Thank you.” The international launch event UEH Slogan Competition “For the Multi-disciplinary and Sustainable UEH University” concluded successfully with the participation of our honorary delegates, the National Creative Community and the International Creative Community. We hope that the international launch event has been helpful and productive in giving you greater insights into the competition and its respective rules.

On October 24th, 2021, with  Break From Free Plastic film crew and sponsor’s permission, UEH coordinated with Vietnam Zero Waste Alliance to hold The Story of Plastic Documentary Premiere, within UEH Zero Waste Campus (UEHZW) Project - the first phase with "Rethink & Be Green" message. The film following the life cycle of plastis was shot in the United States, the Philippines, Indonesia, China, India and so on. The film content was recorded by UEHZW Project team in order to spread more awareness and resolutions to the global plastic crisis to UEHer Community. Exposing globally the present painful reality of plastic waste along with related issues behind plastic pollution as well as plastic recycling mistakes, ‘The Story of Plastic’, unlike other documentaries, presents chronological data leading to current plastic pollution crisis, fossil fuel exploitation and plastic processing activities. The film refers to typical cases in the US states (California, Houston, Texas and so on) in addition to India, the Philippines. ‘The Story of Plastic’ documentary helps change the concept of environmental issue pressures that we are facing. Documentary trailer can be viewed here Plastic Material or Plastic Waste? Waste and environmental-polluting plastic receive more attention. How plastic began going through exploitation, transportation, production, distribution, consumption and destruction stages is often ignored. A dairy farm in Ghazipur District, Block D, India, located right next to a landfill, is receiving waste from nearly half of the population at Delhi. In accordance to a study, people living and working here have a 15-to-20-year shorter than the average life expectancy because of the landfill influence. More than half of all existent plastic was produced within the last 15 years. Plastic waste is supposed to be recyclable; in fact, most plastic is hard to be recyclable. Of all the waste generated, 32% of the plastic waste pollutes water and soil environment; 40% is buried; 14% is transported to factories for incineration; the remaining 14% is recycled but only 2% is effectively transitioned to products with other purposes. Plastic, currently, is classified into 83 types. Although plastic is harmful to the environment, plastic, undeniably, can be used for high-tech products. Plastic makes producing, fabricating and packaging finished products possible and more convenient. Advanced products and life-saving medical equipment (prosthetics, medical instruments, helmets and so on), all of which have the presence of plastic materials. Plastic Material or Plastic Waste question is being raised and requires a number of trade-offs. How do we escape from the fossil fuel economy? - This dilemma that many countries are facing and figuring out for an adequate answer. Plastic not only causes ocean and ground pollution but also pollutes mining and production sources. Specifically, at US plastic mining and production locations (e.g. Karnes County, Texas), local people have obligatorily changed their lives a lot, a large number of residents have to depend on medicines to survive due to terrible headaches, impacted by exploitation and production places. In the last 10 years from 2010 to 2020, America lifted its ban on crude oil exports, starting a worldwide oil, gas and plastic material-selling race. The US has built an entirely new petrochemical corridor in upper Ohio River Valley to transport natural gas liquids to an industrial complex. Houston, Texas is home to the largest national petrochemical complex, people can imagine characteristics of plastic here through senses: seeing plastic blocks, smelling and touching feelings. Among more than 86,000 recognized chemicals, only 187 are regulated by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Oil refineries and plastic manufacture massively affect regional lives: growing up in plastic and air pollution results in the fact that children are suffering from cancer, leukemia, lung, and other diseases. More and more factories are established, that is to say, plenty of plastic is being initiated. A question arises: “How do we escape from the fossil fuel economy?”. This is a dilemma that countries are facing and finding an adequate answer. Oceanographic Research Vessel Captain, Mr. Alguita, shared: “I can only use “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” word, not a single moment on the deck that I do not see a piece of plastic passing by every five minutes". Five Southeast Asian countries are dumping the most trash into the world's oceans. It is predicted that, by 2050, there will be more plastic than fishes in the oceans. Micro & nano plastic found in food, air and water are increasingly available around the world. Recent reports have discovered plastic particles in 83% of tap water samples and 93% of plastic water bottles worldwide. Zero Waste Practice –  Plastic crisis repellent solution Manila, the Philippines has found effective-proven solutions with pilot communities towards Zero Waste. The only one solution to waste management,  Zero Waste Practice,  is truly a portion of the solution for ensuring economic and environmental factors. In San Fernando, 78% waste conversion rate is reported, nevertheless, up to 22% remains impossibly manageable. Zero Waste program will help us identify which products are beyond the community's control. Garbage containment is thought to be thorough after recycling implementation; nonetheless, recycling is insufficient: the point is we need to reduce and reuse it as well to solv plastic waste problem (3R application: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle Model). To fundamentally resolve them, first and foremost, a policy, as the only way to conduct an eliminating-single-use-plastic large-scale transition, is needed. Since then, Plastic Bag Law in California has been passed, European Parliament approved Single-use Plastic Ban to minimize single-use plastic. Besides, plastic bottle collection programs are successfully accomplished. Does the plastic crisis start once plastic enters the ocean: it initiates when oil and gas leave wellheads and continues to matter at every processing step. If plastic issue is to be completely eliminated or the crisis is to be faced, we must fight to terminate indirect/direct fossil fuel support; concurrently, big diversified companies will necessarily adjust to suit market demands. Only then will this crisis be terminated. “The Story of Plastic” full movie is here.

At the International Training Conference for the Mekong Delta region taking place on the morning of August 16, 2021, representatives of the provinces in the region highly appreciated the significance of the Program for the development of the Mekong Delta. Facing the development of the Covid-19 pandemic, the International Training Conference for the Mekong Delta region was held in the online form with the participation of more than 140 officials, including 35 delegates from units of the People's Committee, Department of Education and Training, Board of Directors of Gifted High universities in the Mekong Delta. The Conference took place online with the participation of 140 officials The Mekong Delta faces the challenge of high-quality human resources The Mekong Delta plays a key role in the development of the country, being an area that attracts huge international attention and investment, especially in the field of agriculture. However, it is facing difficulties and challenges when integrating internationally, especially the shortage of well-trained human resources to meet the needs of business, expansion, cooperation, access, exchange knowledge, and experience with international partners. In addition, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has not only short-term but also long-term impacts on the economy, society and development of the whole country in general and the Mekong Delta region in particular. One of the greatest challenges today is the risk of disruption in education and training activities, affecting human resources, which is still one of the region's weaknesses. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Liem - Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs of Bac Lieu province, said: "The 16th Party Congress of Bac Lieu province for the 2020-2025 term sets out three specific tasks for the economic development of the province, including i) Build Bac Lieu into a national clean energy center; (ii) Develop and enhance human resources; (iii) Develop infrastructure, roads, seaports, and airports. In particular, the task of developing and enhancing human resources is the most important, playing a direct role in the economic development of the province. Facing the requirements of society, the training of high-quality human resources in the Mekong Delta has become more urgent than ever. Mekong talents - Going to return: Building high-quality human resources, contributing to the development of the Mekong Delta region Aware of its responsibility for the development of the Mekong Delta region, with its prestige and strength in international cooperation in higher education for many years, in 2021, the University of Economics of Ho Chi Minh City has established the Mekong International Training Center located at Vinh Long Campus and shortly thereafter launched the Australian - New Zealand Bachelor Program with the mission of bringing university training programs meeting international standards from UEH's prestigious international partners into the Mekong Delta region. As such, learners will be trained to become global citizens, being ready to integrate, improve their expertise, English skills, and meet international standards. The Australian - New Zealand Bachelor Program trains learners to become global citizens with foundational knowledge and standard English language proficiency. Selected students will participate in the international training Program phase 1 at Vinh Long Campus for 1.5 years, and phase 2 they will experience an international learning environment for 1.5 years at Australian or New Zealand universities, which are in the top 1.2% of the world's best universities and receive a Bachelor's degree from these Universities. A special feature of the Program is that the motto of combining international Programs, whose quality has been confirmed, with the understanding of the identity and characteristics of the Mekong region, so that "Mekong Talents" can "Go to return" and start-up businesses succeed in their homeland - the Mekong Delta. Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Vice President of UEH, shared: “Right from the idea to the implementation of the Program, UEH has always maintained that this is a social responsibility and the duty to be performed by UEH in human resource training with international standards for the development of the Mekong Delta, taking social effectiveness as the main assessment basis for the success of the Program. Therefore, through this Conference, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City wishes to receive the support and coordination of local leaders, educational management agencies, teachers and leaders of high universities, agencies, and units in the Mekong Delta region, accompanying, sharing responsibility, together with UEH to implement this Program.” Assessing the Program, Mr. Nguyen Phuong Toan - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Tien Giang province, said: “This is a meaningful Program to create opportunities for students in the Mekong Delta region to participate in learning in advanced countries, thereby bringing knowledge to contribute to the construction of their homeland. After receiving the Program information, we promptly sent it to universities in the province for students to register for admission." Mr. Nguyen Quoc Liem - Deputy Director of Bac Lieu's Department of Home Affairs, also emphasized: "The Department of Home Affairs was assigned by Bac Lieu province to develop human resources to serve the province's economic development goals. We are also looking for many solutions and are pleased with The International Bachelor's Program of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City because it has met Bac Lieu province's urgent demand for training and enhancing human resources. In the coming time, the province hopes that UEH will pay attention and create favorable conditions to help improve the quality of human resources for the province." Looking forward to long-term cooperation to train high-quality human resources for Kien Giang province, Mr. Tran Quang Bao - Director of Kien Giang Department of Education and Training, said: “The Mekong Talent Program is perfectly suitable for Kien Giang province to have a faculty of high-quality human resources meeting international standards, this is one of the three breakthrough tasks that the province has set. Kien Giang will quickly notify students who have just graduated from high university in 2021 so that they have the opportunity to participate. At the same time, the province hopes that UEH will cooperate with the Department of Education of the province to foster English for children to meet the criteria to participate in the Mekong Talent Program. Simultaneously, it is important to introduce good training and scholarship models for Kien Giang, and to  implement the signing within ten years to ensure the building of high-quality human resources of international standards, when the graduated students can confidently talk with their colleagues, work with foreign business agencies, associations, leading to global integration." Actively supporting candidates participating in the Mekong Talent program In an effort to contribute to the development of the Mekong Delta, from 2021 to 2025, UEH will deploy the "Mekong Talent 100" scholarship each year (for five years), spending 20 scholarships in the Mekong Delta region with a scholarship of 100% - 50% - 30% for the period of study at Vinh Long Campus, in which, each province in the region is allocated 01 scholarship of 100% of the tuition fee. In addition, in order to attract international students to the Mekong Delta, the Program also provides scholarships to students from countries in the Mekong sub-region (Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar) as well as strengthens exchanging training activities with international students, gradually turning Vinh Long Campus in particular and Vinh Long province in general into UEH's international training, exchange and cooperation base in the Mekong Delta region. At the same time, the university will also cooperate with partners to create all favorable conditions for students to complete the training program. Professor Yi-Chen Lan - Vice President of Western Sydney University, said that it would create favorable conditions for international students to complete the Program. Professor Yi-Chen Lan - Vice President of Western Sydney University, Australia, said: “Mekong Talent 100 is a very meaningful project and Western Sydney University is honored to participate in the project and accompany the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh. At Western Sydney University, when talented students from the Mekong region come to Australia, we will wholeheartedly assist with accommodation exclusively for them on campus or arrange accommodation according to students' requirements outside the university. When they graduate and return to their home country, they can contribute what they learned in Australia to the region and the community.” A former student who studied abroad in Australia shared his feelings As one of the alumni studying abroad in Australia (2014 - 2015), Mr. Phan Chi Cuong, who is working in Vinh Long province, shared: “My starting point had many difficulties, but with effort and passion, I have achieved my certain goals while studying in Australia. When I choose to return to my hometown, I want to share my story so that the next generations know that studying abroad will allow us to access new styles, new ways of working, and concrete, realistic vision, thereby helping us develop comprehensively. If we have a clear direction and vision from the beginning, after completing the study abroad course, we will stand at a new level.” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the UEH University Council delivered the closing speech Speaking at the closing of the Program, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong - Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the UEH University Council emphasized: "Today we are sitting here, participating in the Program with the theme "Mekong Talent - Going to return" is a very meaningful activity for the Mekong Delta, with the future development of the region that the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City - UEH has always identified this as an important responsibility of the university in its mission. Especially with this Program, UEH wishes to provide high-quality human resources with international standards because the Mekong Delta still has limited high-quality human resources compared to other places. Hopefully, in the next 3 or 4 years, UEH will contribute this important resource to the development and integration of the region. Furthermore, in the coming time, the university is ready to sign cooperation agreements with localities to train Masters, Graduates, or short-term programs in research and consulting." Delegates attending the Conference took a photo With 45 years of establishment and development, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is one of the pioneers in implementing international training cooperation and association. Western Sydney (Australia) and Victoria Wellington (New Zealand) universities are also the first two long-term, reliable, and reputable partners of the university in the process of integration, development of training activities, and international cooperation. This is an important basis for us to fully believe in the prestige and quality of UEH's Mekong international training program. Along with the establishment and operation of the University's Campus in Vinh Long province in January 2020 with a scale of 500 full-time university students, more than 100 graduate students, the establishment of the Mekong International Center and implementing the international training program for Mekong Talents in 2021, including scholarships for international students from countries in the Mekong sub-region, is an essential step with the goal in the next 2 or 3 years, Vinh Long and specifically the UEH Campus in Vinh Long will be an international center for training, research, consulting, cooperation and cultural exchange, a destination for students, lecturers and experts international with the Mekong Delta region has a lot of potential and friendly people.

Specifically, personal informationspread on social networksor the "massive" sharing of unverified information has negatively impacted society. Faced with this situation, Dr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh - Director of the Master's Program in Information and Communication Design, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), has shared helpful advice. Recently, the personal information of many people has been spread on social networks. There are various cases, such as phone numbers (the case of 8 ambulance phone numbers), photos (the case of Khanh Hoa employees posting photos on Tiktok after being penalized for "bread is not an important meal"), private life (the case of Covid-19 patients’ private information)… were made public on social media sites. Or individuals who post false information that cause confusion and create public opinion being falsely led. These specific cases generalize the current situation of spreading personal information on social networks. Dr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh - Director of the Master's Program in Information and Communication Design, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City What are the potential risks of personal information being spread on social networks? The current situation of spreading personal information on social networks has many potential risks. The fact that the personal information of people (or even organizations) is used to spread false information is very condemnable. The world's leading cybersecurity companies have recorded a lot of solid scams in Southeast Asia in general and Vietnam in particular during recent months, not to mention some individuals even take advantage of the time when everyone is at home, information is difficult to verify directly, but only in the form of online and share/like on social networking platforms to the purpose of personal gain (for example: selling placebos for Covid treatment, poor quality medical equipment, unsafe food ...) by using names, even images of people with influence (KOL). Sharing their information for various purposes on the internet "highway" and personal information being spread online is inevitable. It is straightforward for bad guys to use it for different purposes. The risks are easy to mention: becoming an intermediary for fraud, creating false beliefs, polishing the names of bad guys. Leaking personal information is easily disturbed (Spam), causing confusion and affecting daily life and work. Not to mention that there will be people who will take advantage of our complete personal information for financial gains, such as applying for credit loans or making lease agreements... When the online information is shared falsely and without verification, what harm will it cause and from a professional point of view, what advice do you have for everyone? The problem of information being posted on the internet "highway" in general and social networking platformsis not only one individual's matter. It gradually becomes an indispensable part when we are a cell of the Internet world. Like everyday offline life, there are also deceptions and lies, so is online, but it happens faster, more unpredictable, and harder to react. For example, in Korea and Japan, there are many cases of being attacked on social networks and leading to regretful suicides, or information callings for incitement contrary to local laws leading to riots. They are very common in the world. Even "unclean" media agencies take advantage of social networking platforms to run PR/Marketing campaigns to suppress and beat competitors with inaccurate information. These cases are easily seen in recent years, especially in the days when the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has deepened these harms. The nature of the Internet "highway" in general and social networking platformsis a place where users, beside being led, also discover for themselves what is incorrect information. However, to do this, users must have knowledge and experience. Therefore, the best solution, in this case, is that we - the users of social networks and the internet must regularly upgrade our fundamental knowledge of information security.We must know the trusted addresses or updated electronic portals to periodically check the truthfulness and accuracy of information before receiving and sharing, staying away from fraudulent websites/news sites. What are the measures to prevent spreading information on social networks to limit the risks above? On the side of the User: Limit the sharing of personal details. Protect yourself with search engines that is, actively "search" for personal-related keywords (phone number, email, name ...) to see if your information is floating on the Internet and find a way to fix it. Also, always declare 2-layer security, limit sharing of personal data when logging in through 3rd platforms. On the side of State Agencies: The Law on Cybersecurity is now available.There are many directives on Information Security and Cybersecurity, but they need to be more detailed and specific instructions for law enforcement agencies to easily apply and execute. They have to alert for feedback and update on special cases and developments continuously from the leading agencies responsible for Cybersecurity and Information Security, such as the Department of Information Security or A05 (Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention). On the side of Media Agencies: It is necessary to work intensely with online content management platforms such as Facebook or Google to jointly control content related to misinformation, such as the Covid-19 epidemic, which caused severe consequences for lives and communities, as in the UK and Europe. Further, strengthen the official communication channels, provide information with accurate and transparent content. Minimize mistakes in words and expressions since now is a sensitive time, people's trust in online information is being challenged. Coordinate with leading experts, State agencies, and agencies in charge of Cybersecurity and Information Security to have highly accurate and verifiable information. Work closely with experts who have the expertise because they have an accurate, clear, transparent data source, and so their posts are verified and highly trusted. Be a smart user when receiving and sharing information, helping to keep yourself and those around you safe. Thank you.

Therefore, besides actively innovating and improving the quality of training activities following the pandemic context, UEH always focuses on accompanying and sharing with students, helping them overcome difficulties to move firmly on the road ahead. In that spirit, over the past time, in addition to promoting the implementation of financial support solutions such as tuition fee exemption, reduction policies, and scholarship programs, UEH also strives to carry out support activities in terms of necessities and medical supplies in line with the current urgent needs, helping learners overcome certain obstacles during the Covid-19 season. Support students at Dormitory 135A Tran Hung Dao during 21 days of isolation The gifts are sent to students of Dormitory 135A As soon as receiving the notice of blockade of Dormitory 135A due to a suspected case of Covid-19, UEH quickly provided necessary medical supplies for epidemic prevention such as: hand sanitizer, antibacterial saline, masks, vitamin C, medicine for fever/abdominal pain, wind oil, etc. In addition, the University also supports meals during the isolation period as well as some necessities for daily living according to each learner, such as washing powder, toilet paper, toothpaste, brush, conditioner, shampoo, shower gel, shaving gel, etc. In particular, to help international students boarding at dormitory 135A relieve their homesickness, UEH donates necessities and sends special dishes from their home country and books to learn about Vietnamese culture, history, country, and people. With dedication and thoughtfulness, UEH teachers have prepared gender-appropriate gifts and continued to provide additional batches of food reserves such as instant noodles, sausages, oolong tea, fruit, trees, cakes... UEH believes that the wholehearted support will partly encourage students' spirit, bring warmth, and help students feel secure in complying with the regulations during the quarantine period. DSA preparing necessary items to send to students of Dormoitory 135A Support students in the implementation of Directive 16 During the implementation of the social distancing order under Directive 16 of the Prime Minister, all food and beverage shops are closed, people only go out when necessary. It has made many students living in the city, and dormitories, fall into a difficult situation when they cannot work part-time, cannot cook, and find abundant food supplies as before. Therefore, to take care of and support students' lives during this time, UEH continues to provide free meals, support to order rice and give instant noodles, drinking water, disinfecting water, masks, and medicines,… for boarding students in two dormitories. In addition,  UEH conducted a survey to find out their current situation and needs to have practical support solutions for students who are outpatients in Ho Chi Minh City. Accordingly, more than 700 gifts, including necessities such as rice, eggs, cereals, fish sauce,... and especially hard-to-find green food sources such as fresh fruits and vegetables, were delivered to 100% needed students. UEH's understanding and timely support solutions have helped boarding and outpatient students in Ho Chi Minh City safe at home to fight the epidemic and overcome this difficult period with the government. Photos of students receiving gifts from UEH Support online experience programs With the spirit to transform challenges into opportunities, UEH orients students to use social distancing time in a rewarding way through a series of soft skills programs with practical topics, such as Health - Physical and mental harmony, Changing mindsets - Mastering your life, Effective goal management and planning. These classes are held online, which has attracted a lot of attention from students, proving that this direction is suitable for the context of the pandemic season, helping students take the initiative, use time meaningfully through updating and adding new knowledge and skills for themselves. In addition, within the framework of activities of the English Park - UEH English Zone, to improve English skills for learners and officials, the University organized a series of thematic reports in English with a variety of topics combining from theory such as: "Understanding yourself, to love learning", to practice such as "Skills of CV writing, interviewing, presentation in English". Besides, UEH also organizes in-depth seminars on "Segmental analysis skills in exams such as IELTS, GMAT and GRE" for students and officials. Furthermore, through online English support activities, the University has helped UEHers improve their language skills as well as plan to conquer their personal development and career advancement goals. In addition to the funding from UEH, the University's Trade Union, and the contributions of UEH teachers, the past support activities were more abundant and more complete when there was consensus and assistance from the units, individuals outside. Through this, the University would like to thank our partners Masan, Unilever, Pepsico Food, Bun Bo Ganh, APT, Mondelez Kinh Do, UEH alumni from time to time,... Although facing severe effects of the pandemic, they still pay attention to UEH students during the recent difficult period. In the coming time, the University will continue to receive support from units and individuals to organize humane, practical, and timely activities for students, join hands with the whole country to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic.

In fact, more than 54% of the total population lives in urban areas and this proportion is predicted to increase to 68% by 2050. Thus, as the population grows, new construction will lead to higher energy consumption levels and carbon emissions are much higher than what we can see today. Faced with the reality of society, the International Summer Design Camp 2021 is organized to create a playground for international students with a comprehensive approach to propose smart integrated design ideas and urban solutions. Therefore, it can enhance the self-healing capacity of the city; overcome current environmental, economic, health and social crises; ensure the operation of intelligent, green, flexible, fair and efficient cities. The International Summer Design Camp 2021 chosen the theme "Smart Design City for Zero Carbon Emission" to contribute to emissions reduction from cities, combine ideas and perspectives of young people in urban planning and  create sustainable, friendly cities in the future.

Thereby, through the process of using the building, users can experience and understand the importance of a sustainable lifestyle for the environment and their benefits.” - Sharing of the S-MART group is one of the three groups that won the Best Design Award at this program. The students presented their concept ideas in the summary session The group "Imagine Dragon" with the idea of ​​"Green Matrix City" won the Sustainable idea award The concept "Green Matrix City" is the result of research and diligent studies of the group "Imagine Dragon" which is related to the problem of Rapid urbanization and Urban heat island (UHI) - which describes an urban area that is significantly warmer than the surrounding suburban areas. Based on these research results, the team proposed the idea of combining pocket parks and green alleys.

The seminar was held on June 8, 2021, by the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Research (JABES) - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh (UEH) organization. Here, domestic and international researchers and scientists listened to guest speaker Dr. Nancy R. Xu present and discussed together with the topic "The spread of risk aversion psychology": Evidence from financial markets and controlled experiments. In order to orientate relevant and useful research topics in the context of global instability, the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Research (JABES) maintains a monthly series of international scientific conferences. (JABES Seminar Talks – JST) related to economics and business. On June 8, 2021, the JST 2021 June seminar was held with the presentation of the guest speaker, Dr. Nancy R. Xu and the participation of a large community of researchers and scientists from 20 countries (including Vietnam, UK, Germany, USA, Japan, China, India, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Sri Lanka) via the Zoom platform. Dr. Nancy R. Xu has research papers published in leading journals such as the Journal of Financial Economics, Management Science, especially with the index “US Risk Aversion Index”. The studies of Dr. Nancy R. Xu focuses on identifying the drivers of risk aversion (the cost of risk) and economic uncertainties (the amount of risk incurred) and their impact on the domestic and international assets markets. Her recent work (at Management Science) was to develop a time-varying US risk aversion index filtered from a range of risky US asset prices. At the talk show, Dr. Nancy Xu presented her research and Prof. Xing Huang (Boston University, USA) in the research paper “Risk Aversion Propagation: Evidence from Financial Markets and Controlled Experiments” – an analysis of why localized risk aversion may have spread from the United States. Period to other developed economies. This is a hot topic in sentiment analysis that examines how risk appetite changes over time. Many previous studies have analyzed risk appetite in the national context, but few have examined risk appetite in the international context. Dr. Nancy R. Xu and colleagues conducted Controlled Experiments and mined daily financial market news data from 2000 to 2017. Also, the study used variance—risk premium as an empirical measure of daily risk aversion. The risk premium variance is defined as the price buyers are willing to pay to hedge against futures market volatility. In this study, Dr. Nancy Xu considers whether it is possible to value the risk premium as an international proxy for a country's risk aversion because it also speaks to a country's uncertainty… Research results show that the group of Americans with high-risk aversion has more impact on the world than those with low-risk aversion, which makes the phenomenon of the disproportionate spread of the mind of risk aversion in the United States In the experimental study, foreigners who face the shock of US financial bankruptcy due to asymmetry have higher negative emotions and higher risk aversion than Americans. A special feature of this study is that Dr. Nancy R. Xu and colleagues used the Priming Method to analyze risk aversion spread. The extrinsic nature of adverse shocks can be more emotionally variable than positive shocks, which leads to a disproportionate spread of risk aversion. Research shows that emotions are involved in 20% of this asymmetry. The analysis of the spread of risk aversion shows the importance of human psychology in making financial decisions, thereby affecting the economy. At the end of the seminar, many participating researchers posed many questions and participated in discussions with the speakers around the issue of shocks for investors, and news shocks only happen to small individual investors. However, large investors, are only interested in the fluctuation of numbers through data on the computer, as well as the execution of securities trading through the computer. Dr. Nancy R. Xu said that all investors buy, sell and invest in securities after reviewing the data. However, news also plays a significant role in investment decisions, as news about the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on financial markets around the world. Some pictures from the talk: MSc.

Compared to the traditional plastic student card attendance method that takes 60 minutes to verify 1000 students, the UEH Student App only takes 30 seconds. Optimize time with smart attendance via UEH Student Provide and store information for students: UEH Students are provided a full range of important UEH news and events to learners. The App stores student account information such as timetable, exam schedule, scores... to help students easily look up and be updated. Even the UEH Union - Association activities will also be announced so that students will not miss any information. In addition, the UEH Way finding feature will help learners quickly find their way to UEH locations and facilities such as rooms, departments, libraries, classrooms ... UEH students can completely control all schedules, class schedules, study results or information about ongoing activities at UEH thanks to the App's reminders. UEH Student provides all UEH news and activities for students to easily follow and be updated Optimizing the operation of facilities Instead of  presenting a student card in a time-consuming way like before, students now only need to scan a QR code or Barcode in a few seconds to enter the library or enter the classrooms and meeting rooms of UEH through the app on their phone. In addition, UEH has deployed the UEH Smart Lock System through the Internet of Things application; the decentralized unlocking integrates the university's information system and Bluetooth wave. Previously, in December 2020, the university implemented a photocopying and printing system that uses integrated employee and student cards to identify and perform operations. With this UEH Student App, learners will no longer need to use a card and can even purchase an automatic package. In addition, the App also integrates other convenient features for users, such as placing a washing machine and dryer in the dormitory... To optimize all services for officials and learners, avoiding using plastic student cards, UEH Student is gradually perfecting and developing more features in the future, such as integration with digital banks to make payments for UEH's services through the phone App, scan QR codes or even withdraw cash without using an ATM card. ► See detailed instructions for installing and using the UEH Student App HERE The launch of the UEH Student App on smartphones is one of the powerful digital transformation activities that bring more values, utilities and interesting experiences to learners, contributing to the UEH brand for the smart study and work environment. This is also part of the strategy to gradually turn UEH into a pioneer in training economics, administration, business, law and public management towards technology application, meeting the new requirements of the labor market, which is increasingly integrated.

The increase in the average technology transaction value in the period 2011 - 2020 is 22%. "It is necessary to make the technology trading transactions in the markets exciting, put it on the stock exchange, buying and selling on the technology exchanges... strongly affect the operation of the business, only then can it become valuable ", Mr. Tung emphasized. At the seminar, many experts said that despite having achieved some noteworthy results, in reality, the domestic science and technology market has not appropriately developed with the potential of supply and demand because there are still many factors of objective and subjective causes. The awareness of all levels, sectors and localities about the position and role of the science and technology market in the national innovation system is not sufficient and comprehensive. The legal corridors, mechanisms and policies are not yet synchronous and have not really created a driving force for developing the science and technology market. Yet, there have been no mechanisms and policies to stimulate scientists and inventors to transfer and commercialize research results and intellectual property. Science and technology organizations emphasize international articles but have not paid attention to inventions and technology transfer and commercialize research results. In addition, the number of intermediaries is significant, but the consulting, brokerage and promotion capacity is not equal, the connection to share information among intermediaries is fragmented, limited database technical infrastructure, yet to attract the private sector to invest in the construction, administration and operation of technology exchanges, and lack of large-scale organizations capable of leading.

Total insurance premium revenue has increased continuously, from 2010 at 30,842 billion VND to 2020 at an estimated 182,654 billion VND. It is forecasted that the insurance market will continue to grow significantly and InsurTech will explode in the coming years. Millenials and Z will overtake older consumers as the biggest spending force in the future. The cashless trend is developing and will drive consumers to increase digital transactions. With home-field advantages, Vietnamese startups take the lead in designing products suitable for domestic customers, improving customer experience, expanding potential customer network and loyal customers, ... With compact structure, flexible operation, low cost, Vietnamese startups have advantages in associating with domestic original insurance companies in implementing InsurTech, when foreign InsurTech companies are limited due to high costs, differences in language and culture. Vietnam has many favorable conditions to become the region's information technology center thanks to its competitive labor costs and stable political environment. This is an opportunity to help InsurTech Vietnam towards expanding the market to neighboring countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar,... and other countries in the region.

In the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the restriction of direct contact and traveling is being encouraged to protect the health of individuals and the community, leading to online transactions becoming an indispensable part. The online service has clearly brought into play its advantages with many advantages such as simplicity, convenience, cost-effectiveness, and absolute safety in disease prevention. At the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), with the spirit of joining hands to contribute to the community and protect students' health; UEH has promoted the application of information technology to build solutions and recommended that students choose online transactions, reduce the frequency of face-to-face contact at the office instead of using traditional forms of transactions as before. UEH Online Services - A new online service that saves students' time and money. It can be seen that the overall scene of service activities, in general, has changed a lot when the Covid-19 pandemic occurs, the speed of digital transformation is accelerating, and the old-fashioned workflow is gradually being eliminated. Grasping this trend and sticking to the "student-centered" goal, the UEH Online Service (Es) - es.ueh.edu.vn is born, executing the mission of serving UEH students. At Es Gateway, the needs of students at all levels (Regular University, Regular Transfer, 2-Regular Diploma; Work-by-Study; and Postgraduate) can all be done quickly using the online form with just a few simple steps including online payment (if any). Es Gateway has more than 20 facilities to support students, such as: reissuing student ID cards; review of the modules; confirmation of military service suspension; student loan confirmation; student certification; issue Vietnamese/English scoresheets; self-training scoresheets, diploma copies; application for admission... In particular, issuing self-training scoresheets, student confirmation, confirmation of military service suspension, and student loan confirmation... are provided free of charge; Students can flexibly receive at one of 03 UEH Campuses (Campus A, Campus B and Nguyen Van Linh Campus). The outstanding feature of Es transactions lies in its easy operation, which saves time and money. Students just need to visit es.ueh.edu.vn, follow the instruction process to register the desired service. UEH will notify the completion of the service by email, and finally, students come to receive the ordered products by the appointed time and place only after half a day or a working day. In addition, UEH also supports courier services to the recipient's address, suitable for students who are far away or do not have the conditions to receive directly. The UEH Online Service focuses on meeting students’ most common needs, using data to build optimization tools and automation processes, thereby fully supporting the students and ensuring the quality of services that the University provides, especially in the current context -19 pandemic. A channel with an integrated online information support/hotline phone is always ready to answer all students’ questions. Changing the transaction mode in information support is an inevitable trend in the current digital age, and this is even more urgent under the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Bearing this in mind, UEH has strived to increase the level of safety connections with students through effective online platforms - a hotline system that cares and supports students. Hotline (028) 7306 1976 is always ready to support information needs and answer all questions of students in a convenient way both during and outside office hours (until 9 pm). This system will help connect all relevant functional departments to participate in the support process, quickly and thoroughly resolve requests from students, ensuring students' satisfaction. In addition, the University has integrated many online counseling channels (fanpage, chatbot, email...) to help respond to students fully, quickly and effectively. Through this channel, the quality and professionalization of the care and support for students have been significantly improved. With the motto of always "Centering on Students", during the past 45 years, UEH has been, and will be making efforts to continuously improve to meet the new expectations of students, continually adjusting the provision of services tailored to global issues as well as the students' general expectations of a professional and quality environment.

Studying Innovation, I can do things such as: managing a portfolio of innovation as well as innovation cycles or advising on innovation and managing IT and digital transformation projects in the business. In the future, how do you think the labor needs of this industry will develop both domestically and internationally? Currently, in the world, the innovation program of enterprises is developing a lot. However, in Vietnam, after COVID-19 many businesses have also implemented digital transformation quite a lot. They build foundations for businesses, but to create on those platforms requires quite a large workforce to meet the development of the next stages.

In particular, in the age of digitalization, choosing a job that catches up with the trend and fits the possibilities is not easy. Another admissions season is coming up and every senior must be having a headache learning and choosing a major to pursue. If, in the past, finding a major only needs to meet the criteria suitable to your interests and abilities, now, choosing a future profession must catch up with the 4.0 era. What is the right profession is still a problem for many students Technology industry group - super "hot" but not easy to learn In the 4.0 era, technology is widely applied in many industries and fields of production, automation replacing manual labor, robots replacing humans. Therefore, many industries can be "wiped out", while the other industries related to information technology, engineers, robotics are expected to take the throne. However, besides the concunible advantages, the above -mentioned "hot" industry group also has the disadvantage of being very picky. In addition to passion and interests, students need to have a certain capacity in natural sciences to study and pursue a career after graduation. The industry also requires workers to retrain constantly or be backward by rapidly changing technology. Facing this situation, many young people have turned to a new "gentler" profession but equally opportunities - Technology administration and innovation.

Labor economics is a broad topic, covering many aspects of the economy, referring to social issues such as employment, salary, marriage, childbirth, inequality, migration... 2020 is a year full of fluctuations for the economy, especially the labor market due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Labor economics is a broad topic, covering many aspects of the economy, referring to social issues such as employment, salary, marriage, childbirth, inequality, migration... 2020 is a year full of fluctuations for the economy, especially the labor market due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has created unprecedented challenges and opportunities that affect the future development of the economy. Government policies to limit the spread of COVID-19 have a significant effect on each country's economy. Hence, scenarios and projections related to countries’ economic and business impacts need to be considered following the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The conference on "Economics and Business: Agendas for the Uncertain World" includes a series of seminars related to economics and business, to guide research in the midst of the ongoing global uncertainty (namely COVID-19 pandemic). JABES Seminar Talks (JST 2021) in January with the topic: An Agenda for Labor Economics Research in an Uncertain World presented by Professor Kevin Lang - guest attending as a speaker - was the first seminar in the conference series held on January 21st, 2021, at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). The event attracted more than 60 online guests and nearly 20 guests related to economics and business to turn up at the meeting. The scene of delegates attending the seminar Opening the seminar, MSc. Huynh Luu Duc Toan, representative of the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies, stated the reason and context of the conference regarding the topic of opportunities and challenges for economic management in Asian economy context. MSc. Huynh Luu Duc Toan stated the reason for organizing JST 2021. Coming to the seminar, Professor Kevin Lang explained the topic "Labor Economics Research in an Uncertain World". Professor Kevin Lang is currently a professor of Economics at Boston University (USA), concurrently being a research committee member of the National Bureau of Economic Research and at the same time being the new President of the Society of Labor Economists. Professor Kevin Lang is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Labor Economics. Professor Kevin Lang greeted delegates attending the JST 2021 Seminar. Professor Kevin Lang said that labor economics is a critical foundation because it refers to essential parts of the economy, explaining many issues employment, salary, marriage, childbirth, inequality, migration...  Professor found gaps in empirical research on issues such as usury, drug trafficking, the US labor market under racism... Accordingly, the current issues related to labor economics are: Will increasing the minimum wage reduce family income inequality or not? Will rewarding teachers for testing student achievement increase or decrease the quality of education? Requesting job severance allowance will increase or decrease job opportunities? To analyze problems in labor economics, Professor Kevin Lang uses the Causal Inference method, often called the reduced approach or the natural test method; In many studies, Professor Kevin has applied the Medical Model, the Policy Simulation Model. By providing examples suitable for each model, as well as analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 vaccination program on people close to 65 years of age, he commented that each has their own pros and cons, some policies cannot be judged by existing data or valid experiment, and their effectiveness may depend on our theoretical choices or may depend on parameters that are difficult to estimate. At the end of the discussion at the seminar, Professor Kevin said that researchers should use their own national data to analyze problems related to labor economics based on empirical research papers of countries. From there, based on the obtained results, better solutions are needed to supplement and improve government policies. The ability to get access to data, understanding of institutions and policies will help experts create analytical models that can solve social problems stemming from labor economics. The seminar took place successfully, orienting research issues related to labor economics in the unstable context of the global economy.

As an interdisciplinary training and research center based on professional quality improvement combined with technology development and innovation, smart governance based on the development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, UEH is gradually promoting the synergy of a multidisciplinary university. With a multidisciplinary learning environment, students have the opportunity to train their skills, talents, and capacities to promote creativity and innovation. This enables students to solve problems related to their majors with diverse approaches and perspectives. More specifically, the rise of the Internet of Things and the advancement of Artificial Intelligence all pose problems not only in terms of technical nature but also in terms of morality, law, sociology, economics and administration. In these cases, if students can embrace and combine engineering - economics interdisciplinarily, they can do what Apple did to become the company it is today. Technological changes and job role shifts lead to the formation of a new labor market after the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Companies begin to formulate strategies to transform businesses and the workforce for the future, and they have the opportunity to leverage new technologies to enhance the economic value created through innovative activities. Human resources trained in UEH environment have been trained for the necessary qualities of the 4.0 workforce. Students have access to new knowledge sources from advanced training programs, learning methods focusing on the learners' experience, participating in the business semester to help students apply their learned knowledge to solve practical problems at the unit. Modern learning environment and facilities that are managed and integrated with technology; applying information technology in learning platform (Blended Learning); smart library system with thousands of books and magazines specialized in multi-field. Youth Union opportunities - Student Union activities support leadership skills development, fostering g talents, interacting with students in different majotunities for flexible learning and personalization. Students experience virtual reality technology at UEH Students study and research at the smart library Multidisciplinary university development also promotes synergy in applied scientific research activities. Given the complexity of the social, political, environmental, economic, and technological challenges the world is facing, interdisciplinary research - studies involving researchers from multiple academic majors - has become a "must-have" demand. Around the world, many universities have brought into play the advantages of multidisciplinary universities in research and business connection. Harvard University is such a multidisciplinary university, influential not only in business, social sciences but also in natural science and technology. The multidisciplinary advantage helps Harvard University students, lecturers, and researchers easily connect and develop innovative ideas. At the same time, scientific research at Harvard is sponsored by corporations, so lecturers and researchers have the opportunity to exchange basic research, study, and apply the latest science and technology with other businesses and corporations. Therefore, the cooperation in research, consultancy and knowledge transfer at Harvard is not only abundant but also of high quality, meeting the market demand. The establishment of institutes (Institute of Innovation, Institute of Smart Cities and Management, Institute of Health Policy Research and Agriculture) and the implementation of interdisciplinary research activities applied in the new fields such as smart cities, financial technology, educational technology, medical technology, agricultural technology... have promoted UEH's position in improving professional quality combined with technology development and innovation. The series of seminars, prominent science and technology events such as 2020 Southeast TechFest, SmartCity+, UEH in4biz Conference... have attracted the participation and cooperation of government agencies and local authorities, corporations, businesses, investment funds, national and international research experts. Simultaneously, the training unit is promoting cooperation with businesses and groups to deeply participate in knowledge transfer activities and research consultancy f This further affirms that UEH's development strategy brings positive results for the country's economic development. UEH establishes new Institutes promoting knowledge transfer and consulting research activities UEH hosted the Southeast Asia's largest innovation startup festival in 2020 Organizing seminars series SmartCity+ connecting stakeholders to solve urban problems The University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City is and will become a vibrant place attracting intellectual activities, research, knowledge creation, learning, and teaching to carry out the community development mission.

Wondering when choosing a major: Pursuing passion or obeying parents? Until now, the story of choosing a major and future orientation has never been easy for young people at the end of high school. Moreover, many young people also find it difficult to choose between their favorite majors or obeying their families' wishes. Choosing your passionate major or what your parents want? Parents often think that children should choose a safe, stable career that has many job opportunities. Therefore, many parents choose to orient their children to economics, technology,... and do not support them to pursue their own passion for arts fields such as design, painting, singing ... In many cases, as children do not want to go against their family, they obediently choose a school according to their parents' wishes. Still, the study process after that turns out to have no interest, leading to downgrading academic results, not keeping up with their peers and eventually losing their own passions. Choose a major that meets both trends and allows you to pursue your passion? The stories of disagreements when choosing a career between parents and children have long been challenging to resolve. However, currently, there are many combined majors, which meet the trend, bring high income, and nurture your passion. Solutions for young people to balance both "passion" and "trend" If you have a passion for art, design, painting, and wish to have a stable job, high income as expected by your parents, then the major in Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City is an ideal choice, helping you to get many job opportunities in the future. The architectural profession can hardly be said to be a new profession. However, when Architecture is combined with Smart Urban Design, it becomes a brand new profession, extremely "hot" and has many chances to develop. With the rapid urbanization rate in cities worldwide and Vietnam, developing a smart metropolis/city to solve urban problems and improve residents' life quality is an inevitable trend. Majoring in Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City will help you with any future job opportunities. The work participates in the project of the students majoring in Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City. Specifically, when studying this major, you will be able to work in public, private, international, non-governmental organizations... in the field of development, planning, management, and urban architecture design, be involved in smart urban development, planning, management, and designing projects towards sustainable development. Where to study Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City? Since being a new major, not all universities have their own training and are specialized in this field. Suppose you want to study Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City. In that case, you can go to the Institute of Smart Cities and Management at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Institute of Smart Cities and Management (ISCM) of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City It is known that the Urban Architecture training program, specializing in Architectural and Urban Design inclusive Smart City at the Institute of Smart Cities and Management, will provide in-depth knowledge of urban architecture and design, especially about smart cities.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao- Head of UEH Training Department said: "Due to international traffic restrictions and uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the learning choices and decisions of students who have graduated from foreign high school programs will surely change. Therefore, UEH has added method 02 to diversify the methods and subjects of admission, increasing the opportunities to study at UEH for those who love and need. This admission method is the companion of UEH to the community and society to help learners be interrupted and negatively affect their academic careers. Moreover, with the trend of internationalization, step by step multidisciplinary training, UEH is the appropriate choice for students who have completed high school programs abroad but for some reason (Covid-19, change the study plan, living, etc) now want to choose domestic universities to continue their academic careers. With various training programs and especially high-quality bachelor's programs in English, international affiliate programs will ensure the needs of multicultural experience towards global citizens of students in the trend of integration and increasing internationalization of the labor market today. UEH students practice in the Netherlands Some questions candidates are interested in this method of admission with the answer of Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Head of UEH Training Department: Q: How does "foreign high school" define? Can the school provide more specific information to this group of enrollees? A: This admission method is aimed at students who are studying foreign high school programs in international schools in Vietnam (according to the list recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training) or students who have studied high school abroad now want to enter UEH to continue its learning path. Q: Some foreign high schools (often called international high schools) will not have transcripts and records commonly seen under the Regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, can the school clearly inform how to apply this method? A: It is expected that students who have graduated from foreign high school programs and have international certificates are eligible for admissions such as International Baccalaureate certificate, A-Level certificate of Cambridge University Examination Center, The United Kingdom (Cambridge International Examinations A-Level, UK), BTEC (Business & Technical Education Council), Level 3 Extended Diploma and other international certificates such as IELTS, TOEFL iBT, SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test, USA) and ACT (American College Testing) with specific conditions and scores that the university will clearly announce in the upcoming admissions scheme. Q: At UEH, which program will be suitable for foreign high school students (often called international high schools)? A: Successful students will have the opportunity to select a wide range of disciplines and majors at UEH including Standard Program, High-Quality Bachelor Program, Bachelor of Talent Program and Affiliate Program. However, we still believe that with the advantage of English, the choice of study programs entirely in English or group of international affiliate programs such as victoria of Wellington University (VUW) affiliate program with 1.5 years studying in Vietnam and 1.5 years studying in New Zealand or The University of Western Sydney Joint Program (WSU) with 2 years of study in Vietnam and 1 year studying in Australia will be appropriate and promote the strengths of students in this subject.

This webinar is on the line of SMARTCITY+ Rehabilitation and Reintegration Program of ISCM Event Series 2021. Smart cities are often cast as the bridge to modernity; when our cities will be hyper connected and data-driven in design and function. The webinar explores how the preservation of socio-cultural assets of the past is foundational for social cohesion and success. Underlying community networks and social norms are the original platforms for change and innovation. In theory and principle, urbanization must be contextualized to the unique society in which they are proposed or risk becoming obsolete or counterproductive. Smart city design can complement cultural assets that have been established over decades or centuries rather than be driven solely by the rise and fall of the market. How do smart cities benefit from diversity, equity and inclusion when it comes to technology adoption and applications? What are the roles of public and private sector in creating “smart culture and process”?  The webinar reflects on three cases: Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (Vietnam), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Portland (USA) through shared experience from national and international experts: Vinh University Delegation Visiting and Working at UEH UEH Signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Central Retail Vietnam for the Period 2024 - 2027 [Podcast] The Impact Of Environmental Awareness On Fast Fashion Consumption Behavior In Vietnam [Podcast] The Impact of ESG on the Value of Listed Companies on the Vietnamese Stock Market [Podcast] The Impact of FDI, ICT, Green Finance and Financial Development Policies on Economic Growth: Evidence from APEC © 2021 UEH All Rights Reserved.   Designed by Department of Information Technology Within the framework of the USAID Strengthening Provincial Capacity (SPC) project, on the afternoon of January 19th, 2021, at Campus B, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) organized an official Signing Ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and UEH.

The domestic and international experts shared their experiences in such topics as how smart cities can leverage diversity and integration when applying technology, the role of public and private sectors in creating "smart process and culture" which were reviewed in several cities like HCMC, Hanoi (Vietnam), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Portland (USA). As a keynote speaker with the topic “Urban regeneration: Towards a creative capital city”, Dr. Nguyen Quang - Director of UN-Habitat says that developing Hanoi to become "the Creative Capital of Southeast Asia" is considered as a new vision, which will enhance awareness, promote Vietnamese culture and arts, as well as be the catalyst to attract investment, develop country’s trade and tourism. In which, the urban regeneration and cultural infrastructure projects such as “Hanoi Art Park”, “Dong Anh Smart City” and “National Exhibition Center” will promote the Vietnamese architecture, design, and traditional craftsmanship as well as significantly improve Hanoi's position and reputation as a “Global City” and “Creative Capital of Southeast Asia”.

Have a bright smile to welcome an excellent new day? Or complain about a sleepy wincing face about more acnes coming out due to sleeping late last night and that today is another tough day ahead? Have you ever noticed your shoulders are tired from pressures and sitting too long in front of the computer screen? Have you ever noticed your knees are too heavy, your back is too arched, your neck slants forward due to the incorrect postures in daily life? Those are the language your body is using to communicate with the world as well as with yourself. It is challenging to feel confident and comfortable with a strained body by fatigue and pressure. How can we feel comfortable with others when we don’t agree with our own bodies? Are you self-body shaming, annoyed and unhappy with yourself? And for how long have you also believed in the others’ shaming on your body? Overview of the sharing session among UEH students on the topic “Overcoming the fear of body shaming by self-love.” Learning to love your body is discovering your hidden beauty every day, to communicate positively with yourself and respond to the body's signal. Learn a correct posture and a natural gait, take a deep, full and refreshing breath, stretch and relax to find the real comfort inside your own body. You know, you need to learn how to cherish your body as the most precious gift you’ve ever had, the best present you’ve received, or the closest friend you will accompany in this whole life. When you spend a lot of energy observing, being nice, focusing on yourself, and learning how to change into a better version, you’ll forget the desire to change other people and also no longer care about the shaming that society gives you. You will then really know who you are, what you want, and feel no pressure from the outside world. The important things are your physical and emotional well-being, the love and caring of yourself, and living up to your heart's desires. And the most important of all is choosing yourself. Once you do it, other things will be in their places. Be nice to yourself. When you start to treat yourself well, you will be surprised to discover that life is wonderful. Such simple things as smiling and complimenting yourself with a few sentences every time you accidentally pass by a mirror will drastically change how you see yourself. When you know how to be nice to yourself, your life will change forever. You will never regret loving yourself. It was the message Ms. Naomi Truong - CEO of FYoung Dance Club shared with the students at the workshop on student care and support held by the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) on January 12th, 2021. Under the workshop series framework on student care and support, UEH has organized many useful activities inspired by deep concern and compassion for the students’ difficulties. DSA invited experts to share and answer the questions from students of each year or program, including the exciting and meaningful topic of Overcoming the fear of Body Shaming. DSA is expected to become a good and genuinely reliable destination for students to share and have their concerns adequately settled with the motto of dedicated service and a professionally trained and regularly updated team.

At the Seminar, the topic of State-owned enterprises was deeply concerned by the participants. Many studies on new regulations in the form of State-owned enterprises were presented at the Seminar. Besides, regulations on corporate governance of joint-stock companies are also discussed. In general, regulations on corporate governance of joint-stock companies have not really created a breakthrough in the corporate legal environment. Dr. Nguyen Thi Anh opened the presentation by going through the new points in business registration under the new Enterprise Law 2020 Dr. Le Na presented the history of the State-owned enterprises institutions in the Vietnam Law Dr. Du Ngoc Bich discussed the corporate governance structure MSc. Tu Thanh Thao commented, discussed additional issues on the new Enterprise Law and Investment Law at the Seminar Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien discussed joint-stock company governance from the perspective of enterprise practices In the second session on the Investment Law under Dr. Tran Huynh Thanh Nghi and Dr. Tran Van Long's direction, the Seminar focused on discussing foreign investment procedures and investor's rights and obligations. This session took place excitedly from the speeches "New points of the Investment Law and its impact on real estate business" of Lawyer Vo Hai Son, "Legal framework on investment in some countries and in Vietnam" by Dr. Tran Huynh Thanh Nghi, and the discussion of Dr. Le Thi Tuyet Ha. Although it has been amended in the spirit of creating an open mechanism for foreign investment activities, in general, the new Investment Law has not opened the way to welcome capital. Many places in the law are still vague, not clearly explained, creating reservations in making investing decisions. Researchers believe that investment legislation should require closer coordination of regulators and improved legislative techniques. Dr. Tran Huynh Thanh Nghi and Dr. Tran Van Long co-chaired the second discussion session on Investment Law Dr. Le Hung Long discussed the concept of State-owned enterprises in the Enterprise Law 2020 Dr. Le Thi Tuyet Ha discussed Investment Law MSc. Le Thuy Khanh made a presentation on "Reforming the corporate seal from the perspective of administrative management" An overview of the Seminar on Enterprise Law and Investment Law The Seminar ended at 11:45 AM on the same day. The Seminar contributed to clarifying many new contents of the Law of Investment and discovered the inadequacies, simultaneously contributing many ideas to improve the Law on Investment and Enterprises in the coming time.

However, the dual goals of fighting against the pandemic and socio-economic recovery and development achieved are attributed to the success in controlling the pandemic and comprehensive economic stimulus packages by the significant role of Government management. GDP growth in the 4th quarter increased by 4.48%, higher than 2.69% of the 3rd quarter, which made the trend of economic recovery more solid and hence revealed a prospect that 2021 would initiate a new growth cycle with these features as follows. Tenure effects of the first year The political event, XIII Party Congress, scheduled to be held in early 2021, plays an important and decisive role over the subsequent 5 years. The undertakings, guidelines and policies proposed by the Congress will become the critical orientation for the country's development in all aspects, especially in the economy. The successful growth model based on the intensity of labor and natural resources contributed to the country's development for more than 35 years of innovation and integration, is now no longer suitable for internal conditions as well as international circumstances in the new era. Accordingly, science, technology, and innovation instead are considered as the main pillars in the new growth model of Vietnam’s economy. This will usher in the next stage of development fueled by these first-seen economic incentives. The new model and policies need to be driven by innovative and creative thinking. After the Congress, the authorities from the central to local level will be organized by new leaders. Certainly, in the first year of their tenure, they will make their best efforts to prove their capabilities of managing and leading the country with far-reaching measures to implement the directions and guidelines set by the Congress. As a result, 2021 may become the tipping point of the next growth cycle. People shop at a supermarket in Ho Chi Minh city. Photo: Nhu Quynh The effectiveness of “tonics” for the economy Social distancing and suspension of economic activities to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 seriously weakened the health of the economy. Therefore, the Government launched a lot of economic stimulus, pain-relief and support packages, viewed as the tonics for the economy. These direct or indirect relief packages for workers and business sector stimulated demand for domestic consumption on a large scale and boosted public investment and exports. Monetary and fiscal policies were also contractionary to an extreme extent. The public investment package worth more than VND 700,000 billion were disbursed over 70% and relevant projects are being urged day and night to ensure progress. However, the ailing state of the economy at that time could not absorb all of these support and stimulus packages. Most of the above capital sources were mainly captured in the transmission channels, creating the effect of cheap capital flow. Therefore, these strong motivations accompanied with the factors of relaxing policy and mechanism mentioned above shall promote the economy to move and start to accelerate in 2021. Risk appetite increased Throughout 2020, the uncertain consequences of the pandemic and coping solutions such as social and economic distancing terrified many people. No economic stimulus policy can resist such panic unless it is believed that the pandemic has been actually controlled and repelled. If the vaccination is tested successfully on humans, mass vaccination in 2021 will assure community safety. At that time, many people will inevitably rush into work with more determination and effort to make up for the shortages and losses of the old year, making economic activities more active for the coming time. Business projects, plans or investment decisions which previously postponed due to Covid-19 or lost their viability due to financial and credit constraints will totally have the opportunity to restart with greater effort and determination. Importantly, the psychological effects and behavioral factors will then make people more willing to take higher risks because their fear has been eliminated and the confidence in the macro environment has significantly improved with aforementioned optimistic signals. High determination, daring to take more risks, and psychological effort to adapt to the "new normal state" harmonized with and driven by open economic policies, loose financial and credit conditions, easier capital and production-business input conditions will create a sustainable recovery and steady growth. If this process is well maintained, it will promote an important movement for the economy in the new phase. A corner of Hanoi Highway towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City. Photo: Quynh Tran. A new generation of businesses The emergent consequences of Covid-19 through the entire world’s and Vietnam’s economy are activated as the drastic elimination coming to businesses. Despite the toughness of evolutionary principles, it brought growth. While unsurvivable businesses and organizations were dissolved or went bankrupt, there were thousands of newly established enterprises as well as so many other survivors who succeeded in transforming their operations and business models. As a typical example, a company renowned for its nationwide distribution system of mobile phones and electronic products has shortly introduced the "shop and to-door delivery" service to adapt to the social distancing which paralyzed traditional retail stores. Or many farmers who used to be unfamiliar with the internet had to strive to promote and trade their agricultural products through social media during the anti-pandemic isolation. And lumber companies have turned to produce finished products with higher quality and design to conquer other fastidious markets or for domestic consumption instead of exporting raw materials to the Chinese market... These examples showed that Covid-19 has been creating a better development of new businesses. According to a survey conducted by the World Bank and the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, as of this September, more than 60% of surveyed companies successfully implemented digital transformation to adapt to the business instability caused by Covid-19. The new decade has created pressure but also offered opportunities for new business models and young enterprises. Innovative business ideas and models motivated by breakthrough policies and mechanisms, supported by preferential investment capital, absorbed by the recovery of aggregate demand will spur a new business generation who will definitely create a new growth cycle.

In addition, global warming and climate change are also strikingly reminiscent of improving the environment and using resources effectively. At the annual conference on the Economy & Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia occurring simultaneously, researchers discussed the applied economics instrument and other emergent issues relating to adaptation, damages reduction induced by environmental consequences as well as the strategies of green growth, towards the region's comprehensively sustainable economic development such as policy-based tools, responsive scenarios, transition management, and international cooperation. Due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was organized with offline mode in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and Khon Kaen (Thailand), and online mode with other countries  around the world. Attending the conference, there were Prof. Su Dinh Thanh - President of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City; Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Director of Institute of Southeast Asian Environmental Economics, Dean of School of Economics, Assoc.Prof. Nguyen The Chinh - Director of the Institute of Strategy and Policy, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, members of the Central Theoretical Council and researchers in environmental economics in Vietnam. Prof. Su Dinh Thanh - UEH President delivering the opening speech at the conference Dr. Annie-Sophie Crepin of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics in Sweden opened the conference with the analysis of the role of economics in responding to abrupt changes in ecosystems, from local to global scales. Although most of the time changes in ecosystems take place slowly, it can sometimes happen unexpectedly when the state reaches a tipping point. In this regard, Dr. Annie-Sophie indicated that conscious awareness of such complex dynamics in an ecosystem could shed further light on how the ecosystem is possibly well-managed. Since then, she has also highlighted many instruments and approaches that could be employed to take into account these phenomena. Dr. Annie-Sophie Crepin - Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics shared her perspectives of the role of economics in responding to abrupt changes in ecosystems from local to global scales. Besides environmental issues, the researchers also debated the COVID-19 pandemic and experiences in the field of environmental economics. The studies provide the evidence that the responses of policy makers, individuals and enterprises to COVID-19 are not in line with typical responses to environmental problems. In most countries, governments have been prepared to take decisive actions to impose costly restrictions on work and personal life, to an unforeseen extent before. Given Prof. Vic Adamowicz’s perspective from the University of Alberta (Canada), COVID-19 has drawn some lessons to environmental economists. In addition to respecting the natural environment, people also put weight on social interactions, and these two practices ​​could interact with each other. Besides, adaptive capacity could significantly mitigate the cost of exposure restriction policies and should be considered when evaluating policy-related proposals. Moreover, preparation for many urgent cases could fundamentally reduce social costs, by facilitating a faster response. A further focus is that the enhancement of new technologies could play a critical role in reducing external effects. Furthermore, the effectiveness of supply policies for public goods could be improved by trusted leaders who provide clear, transparent and informed information, emphasizing the public and private benefits of compliance and guidance. Prof. Vic Adamowicz - University of Alberta, Canada presented valuable lessons that environmental economists could draw from the COVID-19 pandemic. Together with 02 scholarly intensive presentations in the conference, Dr. Eren Zink - Research Advisor of the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok, from the perspective of a research-based funding agency, comprehensively covered the research role on making a difference in environmental management and development of social welfare. Accordingly, he noted that the formation of research communities such as the Economy and Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) is a prerequisite step to create profound contributions to the comprehensive development of the region. Dr. Eren Zink - Research Advisor of the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok provided a better understanding of research’s role to make a difference in environmental management and development of social welfare from the research-based funding agency's perspective. Interacting with Dr. Eren Zink, Assoc.Prof. Nguyen The Chinh, Director of the Institute of Strategy and Policy, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, would like to express his gratitude to the globally giant research sponsors, including Sweden International Development Cooperation (Sida) or Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Worldfish has established supportive conditions for generations of researchers in Vietnam with a strong foundation for their capacity in research and international cooperation in the scope of environmental economics. As one of the first Vietnamese to partake in the EEPSEA program since the early 1990s along with Mr. Tran Vo Hung Son (former Dean of Economics - UEH), Assoc.Prof. Nguyen The Chinh highly appreciated the fruitful results that the program has brought. With the relentless efforts and dedication of environmental economists to research and policies for many years, the Law on Environmental Protection (revised) in 2020 has taken a long step forward when a new chapter is included in the Law on Environmental Protection "Economic Instruments, Policies and Resources for Environmental Protection". Assoc. Prof. Nguyen The Chinh - Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment to share the profound contributions of EEPSEA and researchers to the economic environment in Vietnam and Southeast Asia In addition to critical speeches, the conference was also conducted with 7 parallel sessions with topics of interest pertaining to Southeast Asia's Economy and Environment such as: Climate Change, Fisheries and Marine Resources, Environment and Development, Pollution and Health, Ecological Tourism and Services, Disasters and Adaptive Policy, and Environmental Valuation. Institute of Southeast Asian Environmental Economics (hereinafter ‘the Institute’) was developed by a transition from Economy and Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA). Established in 2016, the Institute inherits the fundamental function of the EEPSEA and provides a platform for the ASEAN region in implementing transdisciplinary research to address challenges with respect to the global environment. The Institute has become a research hub for the top economic and environmental organizations in many different countries in the region, cooperatively conducting interdisciplinary studies to determine the values ​​of the environment as well as carry out the training courses for the usage of economic tools and techniques in analyzing environment-related issues. Dr. Pham Khanh Nam - Director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Environmental Economics delivered the opening speech of the conference.

Smart city is one of the major topics of the world, set out to answer the question: What will the future of billions of people living in cities be with deep participation of technology? According to the smart city development project, by 2025, Vietnam has at least three smart cities in three key economic regions in the North, the Central and the South and more than 40 cities that are oriented towards smart city development. By 2030, Vietnam will have formed a chain of smart cities in key economic regions, step by step connecting with smart cities in the region and in the world. How do people and businesses benefit from this model? What are the conditions needed to build an efficient smart city? How are the roles of the three "houses": the state, the university and the entrepreneur? On the morning of October 12, 2020, representatives of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) - Dr. Trinh Tu Anh: Director of the Institute of Smart City and Management (UEH) participated in the Online Economic Seminar: Scenarios for the future of Smart City - From policy to implementation. The seminar was also attended by Mr. Nguyen Viet Long - Deputy Director of Binh Duong Department of Technology, Director of Binh Duong Smart City Office, Mr. Phan Thanh Son - Director of Strategic Sales Department, FPT Corporation. Dr. Trinh Tu Anh - Director of the Institute of Smart City and Management (UEH) participated in the Economic Seminar: Scenarios for the future of Smart City - From policy to implementation At the seminar, the guests discussed in depth the fundamental elements of the smart city model, opportunities and challenges of cities in Vietnam in implementing this project, as well as key recommendations. This model works in a leading regional economy. Experts say that it takes coordination from both the state, universities and entrepreneurs to build effective smart cities. From the university's perspective, Dr. Trinh Tu Anh has many interesting things to share about smart city: When it comes to smart cities, what are the first 5 keywords that you come up with? Standing on the aspect of university/research institute and having researched for quite a period of time in this field, the 5 keywords that I find very essential for the current story of metropolis/city development are "integration", "consistency", "urban problem solving", "using resources efficiently", "smart technology". From the university's perspective, how do you define a smart city? There are many definitions of cities or smart cities, each country will choose a definition suitable for its context to develop. From the point of view of the Institute of Smart City and Management and its collaborators, we can see the city as a living body of a human being, the more active the metropolis/city is, the more active it is. spawned many different problems. So a smart metropolis/city is a place where you can solve urban problems through the application of technology with the resources you have effectively, towards sustainable development. Smart metropolises/cities are a growing trend all over the world, proving to have solved many urban problems. However, in the next 5 or 10 years, another more effective metropolis/city model in sustainable development may come into being. No matter which metropolis/city model is developed, the ultimate goal is sustainable development and enhancement of the quality of human life. From the university's perspective, what are the criteria to consider a smart city? From the point of view of the Institute of Smart Cities and Management, smart city is a place where people truly feel happy, where they are able to use tools according to their needs and efficiency. In Vietnam, what are the challenges of the smart city model now? In my opinion, the biggest challenge of the current smart metropolis/city model is how cities/localities must choose their own identity or issues that need to be prioritized to be thoroughly solved within a certain period of time and calling on everyone from all fields, departments... to join together to implement that goal. What lessons can Vietnam learn from, or should avoid, from smart cities around the world? After a long time studying smart cities, visiting many smart cities to learn, professors and experts in the world also shared that there is really no final destination of a smart city. The smart city is the path to the end, not the final destination. Therefore, each locality needs to determine what they need to do in the next 10-20 years, locate their locality on the map of the city's sustainable development. In addition, a very important issue is the open mindset, the willingness to share information and work together to solve any problems in the city. University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City established the Institute of Smart City and Management to create an integrated platform - Where the "progressive" from the government, the locality, the stakeholder, the local population domestic and international... are ready to share information openly for the common goal of the community. What is the role of the university in smart city development? In addition to training human resources that are high in quality and meet the needs of businesses and society, the University/Research Institute is also an integrated platform - where all fields, units, sectors inside and outside can share - education - research - consultation - decision support - evaluation - control strategies, projects, projects, schemes to solve solve problems in society. It also helps motivated experts and scientists from universities and research institutes to do what they want and share information for the common goal of the community. What does the university want to participate in the smart city development policy? Currently, each of our subjects is aimed at solving a certain problem of the city, of life, so we expect universities to be more involved in strategies, projects, researches to develop smart cities from the beginning with the role of consulting and decision-making. With the investment and development of smart urban studios, urban simulation (at the Institute of Smart Cities and Management of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City) as well as other laboratories of many universities In other learning, we aim to become R&D centers and together with enterprises and the state to build living labs to solve the problems that smart cities address in each locality, each unit according to specific requirements.

Roundtable: Opportunities and challenges in the digital age On the first day of school, what should K46 students learn? Mr. Chung: 33 years ago, in the transition period between the subsidy period and the market economy with many difficulties, that day, I went to SG at night in a coal car and luggage was a small wooden chest. Today, how you come here, I do not know, but maybe we are the same thing, that is the aspiration, desire to access the world's knowledge treasure and the desire to develop. Mr. Tran Kim Chung - Chairman of C.T Group shares Ms. Trang: I think the most important thing you should learn and the only thing that you bring along your whole life is the way of learning, because no matter what school you study, the knowledge at school is very small compared to what need in life. Looking back on the time I went to school, the most precious thing I bring is the learning method. When I need something, I know how to explore to learn. Mr. Minh: No matter what major, every student at UEH needs to equip: knowledge, skills and lifelong learning capacity. You need to train yourself from the first few days to have a positive learning attitude: interact with teachers, and learn from your friends. Where did the digital age originate and how does it affect our Vietnam? Ms. Trang: To put it simply, the digital era began when the chip technology industry became much more powerful than before, so people began to process Big Data. If in the past a computer system could process a relatively small amount of information, now it has increased a lot. That opens up a chance for people to start using big data - huge amounts of data that can be processed in a very short time. For example, unmanned vehicle using machine vision. The digital age is an era where machines process faster and more accurately than the human brain, and a lot of the previous human work has been replaced by artificial intelligence. People must reposition themselves in this digital age. The new trend also connects people with people by digital technology in no time. Ms. Le Diep Kieu Trang - Chairman of Harrison.ai, Former CEO of Facebook Vietnam shares In the digital age, what challenges do students face? Mr. Chung: You are witnessing a dramatic change in science and technology, you are also witnessing a tremendous change in artificial intelligence, a few hours of learning machine can beat the world grandmaster of chess. AI goes further into monopolistic human realms, like human emotions, and AI-powered symphony orchestras also make people mistakenly assume that orchestras are played by famous musicians. AI goes further and faster into all areas of life, accelerating science and technology. You also witness the connection of things between machines and machines, machines that can command each other, unmanned vehicles. Your generation will no longer ride on bicycles, but will travel by private aircraft, changes in cellular technology, genes, creating new human strains, cosmic secrets: black holes, etc. All are opportunities and also challenges because competitors are not only friends from many other places, regions and countries, but also technology products, robots and AI with superior abilities. So what have you prepared to enter this era? Ms. Trang: I think first of all, you should focus on mastering the numerical subjects. I was surprised when I recruited for many years, Vietnamese students were very good at math in high school, but when they entered the university level and when they went to the labor market, Vietnamese were quite weak in math subjects, especially economics students. Those of you studying Economics who are unsure of numbers will not keep up in this era. Especially the ability to use big data processing software, database management, the ability to predict numerical trends and question what's happening and use numbers to prove it. The second very important thing in this era is critical thinking. The question is not about what kind of future world you think about, but how you think you will use technology. In the digital age, people more than machines are in leadership, connection, ability to move human emotions and critical thinking. In short, during college, students need to pay attention to numerical subjects (logical thinking, data processing ability and judgment), critical thinking and leadership ability, connecting emotionally, etc. What has UEH prepared for students in the digital age? Teacher Minh: Regarding the learning method, when the students go to school, the way of learning changes much compared to the past, which can be called digital transformation. The school has applied a lot of information technology, online learning application LMS. During the Covid era, there were many functions for distance learning and the implementation of online learning through google, through the Microsoft team, google meet, equipped with a lot of technology equipment in the classroom. About knowledge: Each student is equipped with specialized knowledge with digital transformation trends. For example, in Marketing, students are studying Digital Marketing, IT application, AI processing big data in Digital Marketing subject. Connecting with businesses to shorten the gap between theory - practice. Academic capacity: Your academic capacity shows that you are a global citizen, able to use digital devices. At least to have knowledge of informatics in general, the school also includes informatics into the output standards with IC3 degree and internet knowledge, etc. Dr. Dinh Tien Minh - Head of Marketing - Faculty of International Business - Marketing UEH shares Student K46: In my opinion, a student in engineering, IT has an advantage in this era over business students. According to you, what knowledge do business learners need to equip themselves to compete with their peers in engineering, IT? Students ask questions for the guests Ms. Trang: In a new industry or field, it will not include any major or sector. The technology market is very wide not only of engineers, but also people who make products, commercialize, or financial and accounting positions. Seeing the world of technology with only engineers is not entirely accurate. The most important thing when you enter the world of technology when you are not an engineer, in my opinion, the most important thing is not to be afraid. In a constantly changing industry, it is important not to limit yourself, to be eager to learn, to keep yourself courageous and humble to learn more of the unknown. Student K46: I am an entrepreneur and an introvert, in the era of integration 4.0, the developing digital world today, sometimes I feel quite pressured to access large amounts of information: pages, groups on facebook. About that problem, what method of skill equipment do we need? Students ask the guests questions Mr. Chung: The first thing is to build up the right learning strategy, so take the time to build a study strategy for each year or over four years. You need to define goals so that you do not fall into the unimportant information. In the digital age, each teacher is also a university in a big university, each student has a school in a big school, you design your own curriculum. In order for you to get to your desired destination, you need to consult a predecessor or a friend. You need to define the philosophy: Not only the owner of the country's future, but also shape the future of the country. You must dare to think far, dare to do deep. Teacher Minh: In the current information forest, you need to have skills to read news, etc. What standards or role model for digital age students? Teacher Minh: There is no common model for all of you, but I think the common feature in the digital age is the knowledge of information technology. All businesses that do not apply information technology may be going backwards. No matter what industry we are in, all of us cannot ignore our knowledge of information technology because it is a world trend. Message for the students K46 - UEH? Ms. Trang: In order to study well and play well, to do many things, you need to be very focused when doing something. I wish students enjoy a rich journey, do many things, enjoy the time when your youth do their best to study, have fun, explore the world, become the best version of themselves in the years in university. Mr. Chung: I hope that all students will not only study but also practice and be very disciplined to succeed. Teacher Minh: Skills if not practice will gradually diminish, practice from the smallest, time and persevere with what you arrange. Mr. Nguyen: As a student in the digital age, the modern machine age, you should not try to become a machine, be a real person, be happy, know how to play, know well. It is important to choose your values for learning and to coordinate well with friends, colleagues and machines. What matters is the destination, but better it is the process. Enjoy the 4-year student life so that after graduating you can tell about this journey inspiring and proud.= Mr. Nguyen Khac Nguyen - Director of Human Resource Management Division of ACB coordinates the seminar In addition, at the opening ceremony, the students also heard valuable sharing from Alumni about the value of each person that is sustainable over time regardless of the era, such as “For me, in any era, it is like that, number or zero, 4.0 or 0.4, the values belong to the core of a human being, of a young person to me: First, it is openness. Be open, open to learning new things, learning new things again every day, from different people. Second, there must be perseverance to work every day to achieve the best possible results.”, Ms. Huynh Thi Xuan Lien - Member of the Board of Directors of Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint Stock Company (PNJ) (Former Student UEH member course 21) shared.

Roundtable: Opportunities and challenges in the digital age On the first day of school, what should K46 students learn? Mr. Chung: 33 years ago, in the transition period between the subsidy period and the market economy with many difficulties, that day, I went to SG at night in a coal car and luggage was a small wooden chest. Today, how you come here, I do not know, but maybe we are the same thing, that is the aspiration, desire to access the world's knowledge treasure and the desire to develop. Mr. Tran Kim Chung - Chairman of C.T Group shares Ms. Trang: I think the most important thing you should learn and the only thing that you bring along your whole life is the way of learning, because no matter what school you study, the knowledge at school is very small compared to what need in life. Looking back on the time I went to school, the most precious thing I bring is the learning method. When I need something, I know how to explore to learn. Mr. Minh: No matter what major, every student at UEH needs to equip: knowledge, skills and lifelong learning capacity. You need to train yourself from the first few days to have a positive learning attitude: interact with teachers, and learn from your friends. Where did the digital age originate and how does it affect our Vietnam? Ms. Trang: To put it simply, the digital era began when the chip technology industry became much more powerful than before, so people began to process Big Data. If in the past a computer system could process a relatively small amount of information, now it has increased a lot. That opens up a chance for people to start using big data - huge amounts of data that can be processed in a very short time. For example, unmanned vehicle using machine vision. The digital age is an era where machines process faster and more accurately than the human brain, and a lot of the previous human work has been replaced by artificial intelligence. People must reposition themselves in this digital age. The new trend also connects people with people by digital technology in no time. Ms. Le Diep Kieu Trang - Chairman of Harrison.ai, Former CEO of Facebook Vietnam shares In the digital age, what challenges do students face? Mr. Chung: You are witnessing a dramatic change in science and technology, you are also witnessing a tremendous change in artificial intelligence, a few hours of learning machine can beat the world grandmaster of chess. AI goes further into monopolistic human realms, like human emotions, and AI-powered symphony orchestras also make people mistakenly assume that orchestras are played by famous musicians. AI goes further and faster into all areas of life, accelerating science and technology. You also witness the connection of things between machines and machines, machines that can command each other, unmanned vehicles. Your generation will no longer ride on bicycles, but will travel by private aircraft, changes in cellular technology, genes, creating new human strains, cosmic secrets: black holes, etc. All are opportunities and also challenges because competitors are not only friends from many other places, regions and countries, but also technology products, robots and AI with superior abilities. So what have you prepared to enter this era? Ms. Trang: I think first of all, you should focus on mastering the numerical subjects. I was surprised when I recruited for many years, Vietnamese students were very good at math in high school, but when they entered the university level and when they went to the labor market, Vietnamese were quite weak in math subjects, especially economics students. Those of you studying Economics who are unsure of numbers will not keep up in this era. Especially the ability to use big data processing software, database management, the ability to predict numerical trends and question what's happening and use numbers to prove it. The second very important thing in this era is critical thinking. The question is not about what kind of future world you think about, but how you think you will use technology. In the digital age, people more than machines are in leadership, connection, ability to move human emotions and critical thinking. In short, during college, students need to pay attention to numerical subjects (logical thinking, data processing ability and judgment), critical thinking and leadership ability, connecting emotionally, etc. What has UEH prepared for students in the digital age? Teacher Minh: Regarding the learning method, when the students go to school, the way of learning changes much compared to the past, which can be called digital transformation. The school has applied a lot of information technology, online learning application LMS. During the Covid era, there were many functions for distance learning and the implementation of online learning through google, through the Microsoft team, google meet, equipped with a lot of technology equipment in the classroom. About knowledge: Each student is equipped with specialized knowledge with digital transformation trends. For example, in Marketing, students are studying Digital Marketing, IT application, AI processing big data in Digital Marketing subject. Connecting with businesses to shorten the gap between theory - practice. Academic capacity: Your academic capacity shows that you are a global citizen, able to use digital devices. At least to have knowledge of informatics in general, the school also includes informatics into the output standards with IC3 degree and internet knowledge, etc. Dr. Dinh Tien Minh - Head of Marketing - Faculty of International Business - Marketing UEH shares Student K46: In my opinion, a student in engineering, IT has an advantage in this era over business students. According to you, what knowledge do business learners need to equip themselves to compete with their peers in engineering, IT? Students ask questions for the guests Ms. Trang: In a new industry or field, it will not include any major or sector. The technology market is very wide not only of engineers, but also people who make products, commercialize, or financial and accounting positions. Seeing the world of technology with only engineers is not entirely accurate. The most important thing when you enter the world of technology when you are not an engineer, in my opinion, the most important thing is not to be afraid. In a constantly changing industry, it is important not to limit yourself, to be eager to learn, to keep yourself courageous and humble to learn more of the unknown. Student K46: I am an entrepreneur and an introvert, in the era of integration 4.0, the developing digital world today, sometimes I feel quite pressured to access large amounts of information: pages, groups on facebook. About that problem, what method of skill equipment do we need? Students ask the guests questions Mr. Chung: The first thing is to build up the right learning strategy, so take the time to build a study strategy for each year or over four years. You need to define goals so that you do not fall into the unimportant information. In the digital age, each teacher is also a university in a big university, each student has a school in a big school, you design your own curriculum. In order for you to get to your desired destination, you need to consult a predecessor or a friend. You need to define the philosophy: Not only the owner of the country's future, but also shape the future of the country. You must dare to think far, dare to do deep.

Besides, it is forecast that this revolution will motivate the growth speed and quality of Vietnam's economy, but there are also risks in terms of ensuring economic security. At the seminar, Senior Lieutenant General, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Thanh - Member of the Party Central Executive Committee, Deputy Minister of Public Security Ministry, shared the topic "Science of systematic thinking in leading, managing and ensuring economic security in the context of the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution in Vietnam nowadays”. System thinking emphasizes the relationship among parts of a system, which is applied in almost all areas such as in building a development strategy and policy for a nation, a locality, an industry, an organization, a business, or in public administration. The essence of the application of system thinking in management is the ability to identify leverage points and modes of impact. “We often make mistakes: To achieve great results, we must invest in great efforts and risk. The best results do not come from large-scale efforts but small and in-place actions.” In addition, the Deputy Minister also shared the initiative on responding to the challenges of non-traditional security in the fourth industrial revolution (4.0); building a circulating economic ecosystem model to meet the requirements of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4.0). The fourth industrial revolution has promoted the world economy to shift to a knowledge-based economy - smart production, which "fades" the nature among industry, service and agriculture. This revolution also affects consumption, production and prices, and positively impacts global inflation. The world economy has entered a growth period mainly based on technological dynamics and innovation, instead of traditional inputs. In particular, a wave of new and high technology will increase high-tech crimes with transnational influence, so the state management system needs to receive effective support that is flexible enough in order to manage and cooperate with businesses and sectors of society.

(Research model in Vietnam.)” In this study, the author has proposed a number of orientations to build a framework of smart production standards in Vietnam. From the actual survey of 302 enterprises in Vietnam, the author has assessed some of the current situations as well as the need to apply smart production through 5 points: business management activities; technology application in production; workforce development activities; the ability to build production platforms; the needs of businesses when participating in programs and projects to promote smart production. Dr. Ha Minh Hiep, Deputy Director of the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality, Director of the Asia Productivity Organization made a presentation. Dr. Tran The Hoang - Chairman of UEH School Council presented souvenirs of UEH to Dr. Ha Minh Hiep, Deputy Director General of the Directorate for Standards and Quality, Director of Asia Productivity Organization In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the seminar aims to promote the opportunities that the 4.0 revolution brings about, in order to develop the economy in a sustainable manner and at the same time, it also proactively prevents, responds, and limits negative impacts, ensuring national defense, security and the sustainability in the country’s development.
