To identify factors affecting cost management accounting application of manufacturing enterprises is a challenge. By qualitative approach, we propose our research model and five hypothesises. During the implementation, we survey 179 manufacturing enterprises in southern Vietnam. Then, the research model is Cronbach Alpha tested, conducted exploratory factor analysis and run gression analysis to explain our proposed hypothesis. The result indicates there are 26 variables from Vietnamese manufacturing enterprise’s managers view grouped into 5 factors affecting the cost management accounting application. These factors are manager’s cognition, accountant’s professional level, enterprise size, IT application level and decentralized administration. The paper conclusion progressively paves the way for further researches on cost management accounting application.

This paper is aimed at investigating the factors affecting personal financial management behaviors in Vietnam during the Covid-19 pandemic. With data of interviewing online 477 individuals, the research team used the reliability test with Cronbach’s Alpha, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Pearson correlation analysis’s results, and linear OLS model. The key findings are: First, four factors have strong impacts on personal financial management behavior are: (i) Covid-19 pandemic; (ii) Financial habits from parents; (iii) Financial education from parents; (iv) Financial well-being. Of which, the factor of socialization has been separated in to “financial habits from parents”, and “financial education from parents”. Second, differently from previous studies, two variables of financial knowledge and financial attitude have no impact on personal financial management behavior. These differences come from the special characteristics of Vietnam culture: First, parents are the main financial sources for the youth, and also the model of financial management for children. Second, as financial management capacity building courses are not much available in Vietnam, people depend on family own’s experiences to build up their financial management behaviors. Basing on the results, the recommendations are focusing on improving financial management capability of parents in order to improve individual financial management capacity.

This paper aims to reflect the current status of firm-level technological innovation in Vietnam, in particular the factors that affect technological innovation decision. The main research method employed is qualitative analysis, specifically descriptive statistics. The results show that about 31% of firms carry out product innovation and 46% of firms conduct process innovation. In addition, only about 25% of firms have trained staff and about 10% of firms have cooperated with agencies in technological innovation. The innovation environment and policies are still limited. Based on that, the authors propose policy suggestions: 1) Focus on increasing funding for firm technological innovation; 2) Strengthen the link between firms and partners; 3) Continue to promote programs and policies to support firm technological innovation.

For continuous performance, enterprises should not only take into account potential risks and existing negative factors, but also develop methods and principles that allow timely and flexible response to crisis occurrences, as well as determine the recovery stages in an already deteriorated financial condition. Given tasks are solved by anti-crisis financial management, designed to increase the efficiency of enterprise management and facilitate the equalization or improvement of an economic entity’s financial stability, therefore, the directions of its development are a rather relevant topic in a market economy. The article examines the theoretical foundations of anti-crisis financial management, the main factors affecting the emergence of a crisis state at an enterprise, discusses the need for its development, and provides factors that determine the effectiveness of the implemented anti-crisis policy. Identifying the need to improve anti-crisis financial management and decision-making on its implementation are accompanied by an analysis that takes into consideration possible risks and costs, which determines the expected effect. The author generalizes and indicates the main principles and stages of anti- crisis management.

Vietnam’s forests have experienced a notable transformation over the past 20 years from net deforestation to reforestation and expanding forests. Continued reforestation that aims to achieve further economic and environmental benefits remains a national priority and strategy. We explore the current status of plantation forests and highlight possible means to facilitate their expansion in the uplands of Vietnam. We employ mixed method triangulation to empirically explore plantation forests and their economic role in household livelihood, to quantify trade-offs between plantation forests and shifting cultivation, and to assess the constraints on plantation forest expansion in Nghe An province, north-central Vietnam. Results show that forest in the study area expanded by 406,000 ha (71.1%) between 1990 and 2016. Plantation forests increased by nearly 500% (from 32,000 ha to 190,000 ha), while natural forests expanded by 48.1% (from 538,000 ha to 797,000 ha). Plantation forests contributed an average of 35.1 percent of total household income in wealthier households and 27.9 percent of income in poor households. Switching from shifting cultivation to plantation forests would increase total household income and average carbon stock but decrease food provision. Total Economic Value would be higher for plantation forest scenarios if increased carbon stocks in plantations can be monetized. This carbon income might drive conversion of shifting cultivation to plantation forests. Constraints on further expansion of plantation forest are low external cooperation, education, market stability, and agroforestry extension services. Our empirical results inform national plantation forest development, sustainable upland livelihood development, and climate change mitigation programs to ultimately facilitate forest transition and improve the resilience and sustainability of socio-ecological systems.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the main contributor toward prospering the Malaysian economy [1]. Despite the fact that Malaysia is a fast growing economy in South-East Asia, death of SMEs is unavoidable. An exploratory study was conducted to investigate the factors that have an impact on business performance and success in Malaysia. Interviews with SMEs from different industries were conducted. Several factors were found to contribute to the success of business. The factors are classified into financial and non-financial determinants. These factors include customer satisfaction, service quality, experience, business expansion, competitor orientation, solving problems, cash flow, and the amount of sales and revenue. Building on these interviews, a discussion and conclusion have been provided.
