Challenges and enablers of women entrepreneurs’ career advancement in Vietnam’s coffee industry
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 08-02-2021
Abstract: This paper aims to explore the motivational factors and contextual facilitators of female entrepreneurs in Vietnam’s coffee industry and also the barriers facing them. This study adopts the grounded theory approach, using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 31 women entrepreneurs in the coffee industry in the rural Central Highlands of Vietnam. This study found that necessity-driven factors play an important role in motivating female entrepreneurs to advance their careers. However, these factors may be transformed into the opportunity-driven motives. Furthermore, the findings suggest that Asia’s collectivism culture and family support significantly affect the success of the women entrepreneurs, although gender inequality is not perceived as a serious constraint in entrepreneurial activities. This study has implications for the literature of women entrepreneurs regarding motivations and contextual influences in agricultural and rural areas of Vietnam. However, the s le size is relatively small which limits the concept generation of the study. For further research, a larger s le size with different business sectors should be considered to generate more explicit findings. The findings from this study can assist the policymakers in developing strategies and governmental policies to support the career advancement of women entrepreneurs and improving gender equality in Vietnam. This study contributes to the literature about understanding the motives and the roles of socioeconomic contexts in women’s entrepreneurial activities in agricultural and rural areas.

DOI: 10.5539/ASS.V13N9P33
Abstract: Quality Management Practice (QMP) has been proven its positive impact on organizational performance and received significant attention in recent years. However, there is little or no studies on QMP and organizational performance in Vietnam, specifically in Binh Duong. This research concentrated on finding the degree to which five elements of QMP namely Leadership, Strategic Planning, Process Management, Human Resource Management and Customer Satisfaction influence organizational performance within the scope of a SME in Binh Duong, Vietnam. In this study, a survey was conducted involving internal human resources and external customers, resulting in a response rate of 100 percent. Data was collected from three different perspectives of managers, staff and customer to gain the best insight understanding. The results of the survey revealed that Strategic Planning, Human Resources Management and Customer Satisfaction take important role to play in increasing performance of this organization while the other fundamentals needs more improvement to fully implement QMP at the company. This research has the potential for further research to enhance the standards of QMP in Binh Duong area.

The 7A Framework: Extending the 4A Framework Based on Exchanges in Subsistence Marketplaces in India and Vietnam
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 22-05-2022
DOI: 10.1177/02761467221099818
Abstract: Researchers in the marketing domain have investigated some key drivers of market development in subsistence marketplaces in emerging economies. This article contributes to the literature by proposing a 7A framework that identifies an enhanced set of drivers of market development in subsistence marketplaces in emerging markets (EMs) (by extending the 4A framework). Using qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews with farmers (i.e., micro-entrepreneurs) in subsistence marketplaces from two EMs (countries: India, Vietnam), the study findings provide evidence of the 7A's as facilitators and/or inhibitors of market development in such markets. This article draws attention to the growing importance of the selling processes and strategies used by farmers in such markets for maintaining relationships with customers and investigates the benefits and challenges of selling at farmers’ markets that contribute to developing the 7A framework. The study uniquely contributes to the base of pyramid (BoP) literature in emerging markets, which could be of interest to future researchers examining the effectiveness of the 7A marketing framework on micro-entrepreneurs. The study findings offer important insights into policy and practice by uncovering new dimensions of market development for micro-entrepreneurs in emerging markets.
The influence of family culture on the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative of immigrant enterprise: a case of Korean business in Vietnam
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 17-08-2021
Abstract: This paper aims to explore how family culture can contribute to support the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in a Korean immigrant enterprise in Vietnam. This research highlighted a critical case, in which entrepreneurs and most of the organisational members share a common family culture and the culture support management capability of an entrepreneur, during the introduction of a new organisation initiative. In addition, Bourdieu’s tripartite analytical framework of field, capitals and habitus was adopted to facilitate the case analysis. Firstly, the motivation behind the development of CSR came from the intention to gain access to the local capital market. Secondly, family culture plays an important role in maintaining the support of organisational actors to support the decision of the entrepreneur. This research contributes to the emerging literature about CSR and immigrant entrepreneurship. This study sheds light on how family culture can aid the leadership of CSR initiatives and CSR practices in the context of the immigrant organisation. This study identifies processes that immigrant entrepreneurs can use to inspire organisational members to engage in a new initiative in which organisational culture and norms can help to overcome challenges to enable engagement with a novel initiative. This paper explains how family culture supports the leading role of an entrepreneur, in which the absolute pressures inherited from family values and traditions in the place of origin help an organisation to overcome existing barriers such as lack of time and financial support towards a new initiative.

Publisher: IGI Global
Date: 2022
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-8900-7.CH001
Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be seen as the critical goal for every country in the world. In this vein, a stable global financial system is needed these days to satisfy its duty to boost the private capital mobilisation to achieve sustainable development and steady economic growth. Nevertheless, several obstacles limiting such financial mobilisation have been identified by scholars, practitioners, and standard setters. Recently, digital transformation and advancement, specifically in the finance sector, include a wide range of technological developments, and applications such as blockchain, internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence are promised to enhance performance in the financial sector. The potential of digital applications in the finance sector to resolve critical obstacles in financing for inclusive and sustainable growth becomes evident. This chapter aims to provide a summary and a detailed discussion of the latest developments in financial technologies that both facilitate the SDGs and also contribute to future sustainable international business.
How can scientists and engineers contribute to organisational sustainability reform?
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 10-01-2020
Abstract: This paper aims to explore how research and development (R& D) scientists and engineers can contribute to sustainability initiatives in their organisations. This paper uses a critical case study methodology, focussed on a large Vietnamese company in which business leaders sought to engage R& D scientists and engineers in sustainability initiatives focussed on eco-innovation and eco-efficiency. Bourdieu’s theoretical lens of habitus, capitals and field facilitates a relational analysis of the findings. While R& D scientists and engineers adapted well to early changes aligned with eco-innovation, they struggled to engage with sustainability initiatives in the case firm. This study explains adaptions and constraints as scientists and engineers’ professional habitus and capitals, and their broader organisational field. This paper provides insight into how organisations might integrate professional acculturation and appropriate facilitators to promote the additional contribution of scientists and engineers to sustainability initiatives in the context of an organisation. Although eco-innovation and eco-efficiency are only potential dimensions of comprehensive organisational sustainability reform, this research provides insight into how engaging scientists and engineers with a broader social sustainability agenda might be advanced. The study addresses calls for empirical insights into ways that scientists and engineers can commit to organisational sustainability practices based on the configurations of habitus, capital and organisational field.
