Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Digital transformation is a global trend that brings increasingly significant value across all areas of management, daily life, production, and business. This study aims to analyze the current state of digital transformation applications in the growth of Quang Binh’s traditional handicraft industries and suggest solutions for future development. Descriptive statistical methods and frequency analysis were primarily used in this study, utilizing secondary data from 2018–2023 and surveys of 103 production facilities along with 30 customers who purchase traditional handicraft products online. The results indicate that the application of digital transformation contributes to job creation and the development of traditional handicraft industries; however, there are still many limitations. To enhance the application of digital transformation, it is necessary to implement a range of synchronized solutions, such as the application of digital technology, product digitization, financial support, and the gradual development of traditional handicraft industries to satisfy human production and consumption demands on both domestic and global scales.

A co-citation and co-word analysis of destination choice decision-making research

Nguyen Anh Loi — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes the network structure and the evolution of research themes in the field of destination choice decision-making, based on 1,454 research papers from the Web of Science (2004-2024). Through co-citation and co-keyword analysis, the study identifies four key themes: tourist behavior and influencing factors, decision-making processes and socio-cultural factors, the impact of culture on tourism, and models of tourist behavior and destination choice. Additionally, co-keyword analysis highlights seven central themes: decision and behavior, perception and risk, image and loyalty, influencing factors and interactions, marketing and market, decision and motivation, and experience and quality. The findings emphasize the growing importance of experiential tourism, destination image, and the role of technology in shaping tourist behavior.

Factors affecting the readiness for digital transformation in human resource management of small and medium-sized enterprises in Thua Thien Hue Province

Nguyen Anh Duong, Hoang Trong Hung, Le Thi Phuong Thao, Nguyen Quoc Thien Huong — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the impact of factors on the readiness for digital transformation in human resource management (HRM) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thua Thien Hue province. Data from 207 SMEs were analyzed using quantitative methods such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that digital leadership, digital culture, digital technology platforms, and digital capacity all directly affect the readiness for digital transformation in HRM and indirectly affect the readiness for digital transformation in HRM through the mediating variable of dynamic capability. Among these, the factor with the greatest impact is digital culture (β = 0.350), and the least impact is digital leadership (β = 0.209) at a 5% significance level. The variables in the model explain 65% of the variance in the readiness for digital transformation in HRM. Based on these findings, the study proposes managerial implications to promote the readiness for digital transformation in HRM of SMEs in Thua Thien Hue province in the future.

The effect of local irrigation organizations on rice productivity in Vietnam

Tran Hanh Loi, Nguyen Le Hiep, Tran Thi Thu Hien — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The participatory irrigation management approach with the formation of farmer-owned local irrigations organization have been promoted as a solution for improving irrigation effectiveness, which then enhances agricultural production. However, none national-wide research has proved this cause – effect relationship. By using VARHS 2016 data and applying the regression model, this paper analyses the impact of local irrigation organizations on household rice yield. Information related to production input, output and household characteristics is collected from household-level data while information regarding local model of irrigation institution, irrigation condition is withdrawn from commune-level data. The results indicated that the existence of local irrigation entities responsible for local irrigation management has significant positive impact on rice yield. Irrigation infrastructure condition, location along the canal, irrigated area and quantity of input usages also significantly explain the variations of rice yield. Some policy applications on irrigation management and rice production are proposed based on finding of the study.

Interactive relationship between credit risk, liquidity risk and banking efficiency

Le Ngoc Quynh Anh, Vo Thi Kieu Oanh, Le Thi Phuong Thanh — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The study proves the interactive relationship between credit risk, liquidity risk, and efficiency in 27 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period from 2018 to 2022, considered through the simultaneous equation model (SEM). The findings provide new empirical evidence on the interplay between liquidity risk and credit risk, as well as between liquidity risk and bank performance. Specifically, the study found a positive relationship between liquidity risk and credit risk, while liquidity risk and profitability were inversely related. However, the interaction between credit risk and bank efficiency has not been conclusively proven. The study highlights the importance of both credit risk and liquidity risk in enhancing the performance of commercial banks in Vietnam. Furthermore, it offers potential solutions for improving credit and liquidity risk management to mitigate risks and boost bank efficiency in the future.
