This study aims to investigate the effects of internal barriers, including personal traits and cognitive condi-tions, and external barriers, including normative and regulative structures, on entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 437 students at high schools, universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employ a quantitative method such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative analysis (EFA), KMO and Bartlett test, correlation coefficient analysis, and logistic regression to examine the relationship be-tween entrepreneurial barriers with different issues including personal traits, cognitive condition, normative and regulative structures, and entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that all four independent variables; namely barriers related to personal traits, cognitive condition, normative and regulative structures had negative effects on entrepreneurial intention. Particularly, cognitive conditions are seen as the most influential barrier to entrepreneurial intention, followed by personal traits, regulative and normative structures.

Customer loyalty plays an important role for the success of aviation companies. Most airlines companies rec-ognized that a frequent flyer is about 10 times more valuable than an associational flyer. As a result, it is essen-tial to evaluate determinants of Vietnamese frequent flyers related to loyalty toward American-based airlines like Delta Air Lines. The customer loyalty was impacted by service quality, brand image, perceived value, pric-ing policy, and customer satisfaction. A sample of 300 Vietnamese frequent flyers of Delta Air Lines was col-lected for this study. The primary data was analyzed with SPSS and AMOS. The results indicate that service quality had no impact on customer loyalty of Delta Air Lines frequent flyers in Vietnam while the rest variables maintained some effects. There were several limitations of this study such as sampling, questionnaires design, and data collection. This research also contributed implications for further studies about customer loyalty in aviation industry.

Adopting PLS - SEM method of Smart PLS, 3.0, we analyzed data from 396 valid questionnaires and the results showed that materials, design, construction and Stakeholder had positively affected the quality of Social Infrastructure Projects (SIPs). In the meantime, the project size also played a moderate role on the quality of social infrastructure projects.

The research analyses the impact of non-interest income on the performance of 26 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period of 2008 - 2017 by the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method. The research results show that: (i) The average non-interest income ratio of Vietnamese commercial banks is only 8.32%, a significantly low level compared with the interest income ratio of more than 90% of the total income of the banks; (ii) Non-interest income has a positive impact on the performance of Vietnamese commercial banks in the research period. The research results assist in confirming the trend of diversifying non-credit activities to increase non-interest income ratio of Vietnamese commercial banks.

Today, knowledge gradually becomes an important resource for the competitiveness of enterprises (business-es). For small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam, knowledge sharing (KS) is a necessary condition to increase labor productivity and ensure the sustainable development of businesses. However, encouraging KS among employees requires management to understand the motivational factors of KS and set out appropriate policies. This study is based on the research model of Burgess (2005) [Burgess, D. (2005). What motivates employees to transfer knowledge outside their work unit?. The Journal of Business Communication (1973), 42(4), 324-348.] and related theories to identify psychological motivational factors that affect KS. The study conduct surveys in 400 SMEs to assess the impact of the factors on KS in Vietnamese SMEs. The results show that the factors like rewarding; Fear of losing power, Concepts for self-interest, promoting the role of the group, the concept for social benefits affect KS, significantly. From this re-sult, the study also proposes a number of recommendations to improve KS motivation of Vietnamese SMEs' employees. At the same time, through quantitative research, the author identifies the factors affecting the knowledge sharing behavior of SMEs in Vietnam. Research results indicate different factors; including team-work, cohesion, trusts, reward system, information technology system, communication with peers, the concern of senior management are correlated positively with employees' knowledge sharing behavior.

The concept of entrepreneurship has become popular in different countries such as Vietnam and Poland. However, there are few comparative researches on entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes among students in two countries. The purpose of this study is to show a comparative analysis of some issues related to entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes such as willingness to take the risks, knowledge about the market, competitors, financial resources, factors effecting on entrepreneurial intention, circumstance and the purpose of going abroad among students in Vietnam and Poland. The study employs quantitative analyses by utilizing some tools of descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U-Test through SPSS 20.0 to show the differences of factors affecting on intention to start up a business and migration attitudes between Vietnamese and Polish students. The research results show that although the demographic layout of students in two countries was rather similar, there were some differences in 12 out of 17 factors influencing on entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese and Polish students. In terms of migration attitudes, almost all Vietnamese and Polish students were interested in going abroad to find a job and only minor proportion of them planned to run a business abroad.

Although prior studies draw upon natural resource-based views, environmental strategy permits competitive advantages, and as such, gains financial performance. However, empirical results are mixed. To shed light on this issue, this study proposes that environmental performance mediates the link between environmental strategy and financial performance. Data were collected from 175 third-party logistic providers currently operating in Vietnam to test the hypotheses. Partial least square structural equation modeling was borrowed to test the data. The results reveal environmental performance partially mediates the link between environmental strategy and financial performance. By considering the mediating effect, this study contributes to the literature by addressing the intervening mechanism of environmental performance on the inconclusive relationship between environmental strategy and financial performance. Besides, this study also extends prior studies by borrowing a concept of environmental strategy, which captures the extent of organizations pursuing this strategy, to explain how and why pursuing this strategy permits environmental and financial performance.

This paper investigates firm heterogeneity in total factor productivity across Vietnam domestic private sector with sixteen manufacturing subindustries over the period 2010-2016, with a focus on labor size and based on total factor productivity (TFP); including TFP level, TFP distance, and TFP dispersion. Our results indicate that, in the private sector, labor heterogeneity on productivity are very dependent on specific manufacturing sectors, and on type of TFP. From an industrial policy perspective, there is hence productivity related reason on why Vietnamese policy makers should prefer large and extremely large firms over small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in some manufacturing and vice versa. Our results provide a support for both SMEs and large private consortiums, depending on specific manufacturing sectors. In addition, since there is a strong evidence to suggest that labor heterogeneity in TFP exists in some manufacturing sectors, the rationality behind policies to support SMEs and large firms at every manufacturing sectors seems to be questionable.

This paper analyzes the causal relationship between the banking system development and the real estate market in Vietnam from 2004:Q3 to 2018:Q4, with the use of the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model as the analysis method. In Vietnam, there is no empirical study on this issue. Therefore, the paper is the first empirical evidence for the relationship between the banking system development and the real estate market in Vietnam. The research results show that the banking system development (measured through the domestic credit to the private sector) and the real estate market had a positive causal relationship in both short and long terms. In addition, the paper found a statistically significant impact of the global financial crisis on the banking system development and the real estate market in Vietnam, which is a new discovery compared with previous studies.

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between supply chain linkage and business performance in the lychee supply chain in Vietnam. The study collected 395 matched samples after sample screening. Partial least squares (PLS) algorithm is used to process the data. Research results show a link between supply chain linkage and business performance. Furthermore, research shows that risk supply chain, quality management, and business strategy also impact supply chain linkages and business performance.
