Led by its Patron, H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia’s fourth Prime Minister, together with a Board of Governors who are experienced captains of industries and established brand icons. The power of branding is a visual, auditory and sensory experience which is undoubtedly vital to the success of brands. Brands are catalysts that transcend achieving objectives, making profits or establishing one’s status so that it appeals to consumers. In reality, consumers’ buying preferences are determined by the way brands attract and engage them. It is crucial that organizations realize the significance of brands and branding. Likewise, consumers must also be educated and informed concerning the qualities of good brands and best-branding practices. This is where the APBF steps in to develop the ‘art of branding’. With aspirations to encourage the awareness of branding in Malaysia and across the world, the APBF takes an active role in identifying and nurturing outstanding Malaysian brands on an international platform. The Foundation continuously champions its mission to educate and communicate the ‘value of branding’ – with the concept that brand culture, combined with good practices, will give Malaysia the edge, even against the world’s most advanced nations. Starting off on a modest note with publication of branding articles in print media, the APBF has gradually evolved into an association which organizes branding seminars and forums to discuss the latest issues and developments in branding. After its establishment, the APBF has embarked upon a number of initiatives through The BrandLaureate to support its brand mission. Among the significant events initiated include The BrandLaureate Awards, first in 2006; for Multinationals (MNCs), Public Listed Companies (PLCs), Trans-National Corporations (TNCs), Government Linked Corporations (GLCs) and Large Corporations (LCs). With the success of the awards, the APBF then launched The BrandLaureate – SMEs Chapter Awards (now renamed SMEs BestBrands Awards) to honour the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A visionary organization, the APBF aims to continue to take branding into a new dimension via its heartfelt commitment and undying passion.

  • 1 Vietnam Vo Hieu
    1 Vietnam Vo Hieu I. Introduction Vietnam – sometimes spelled Viet Nam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and the East Sea (the South China Sea) to the East. Hanoi, the nation’s capital, lies on the banks of the Red River. It is not only the country’s political, cultural and educational capital but also the most important economic center in the North. Ho Chi Minh City, the new name for Saigon, lies just north of the Mekong Delta in the South, and is the largest city in Vietnam. The city, with a population of seven million, functions as the country’s economic heart and business hub. Danang, in the central part of the country, is the third largest city and an important port. The country was usually called Annam until 1945, when the Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam was written by Ho Chi Minh president and announced in public, solemn declared to the world at Ba Dinh Square on September 2, 1945 changed the official name back to Việt Nam. Since the use of Chinese characters was discontinued at this time, the alphabetic spelling of Vietnam is now official. I.1 Geography, Climate Viet Nam country is located in the South East Asia, stretching from 8° 27 to 23° 23 N and from 102° 08 to 109° 30 E, Viet Nam has a total land area of 329,314 km2, of which the area of plains is only 7 million ha and the remainder is mountains, hills and plateau.

  • Causality in Vietnam's Parallel Exchange Rate System During
    economies Article Causality in Vietnam’s Parallel Exchange Rate System during 2005–2011: Policy Implications for Macroeconomic Stability Minh Tam Bui Faculty of Economics, Srinakharinwirot University, Bangkok 10110, Thailand; [email protected] Received: 5 October 2018; Accepted: 21 November 2018; Published: 12 December 2018 Abstract: As in many transition economies, Vietnam has experienced a multiple exchange rate system with three exchange rates having co-existed. This paper uses the Vector-Error-Correction model and the Granger tests to investigate the relationship between the official and black market exchange rates from January 2005 to April 2011. The results confirm a long-run relationship between the official and parallel market rates of the Vietnam dong against the U.S. dollar. The short-run dynamics of two exchange rates suggest that the official exchange rate causes the black exchange rate, but not vice versa. This conclusion is valid for both a sub-period of stability and a sub-period of vibrant fluctuations, with February 2008 as the cut-off. The findings also reject the efficiency hypothesis of the black market for foreign exchange and support the policy choice of the State Bank of Vietnam not to follow black market signals in managing official exchange rates for macroeconomic stability. Keywords: parallel market; exchange rate dynamics; black market; causality; inflation JEL Classification: F31; E52; E58; C32 1. Introduction The exchange rate system in Vietnam has experienced different episodes due to macroeconomic fluctuations and changes in exchange rate policy following the economic reforms in the late 1980s. This includes a period of free floating in early 1990s, and a pegging system during 1993–1996.

  • The Symbol of the Dragon and Ways to Shape Cultural Identities in Institute Working Vietnam and Japan Paper Series
    2015 - HARVARD-YENCHING THE SYMBOL OF THE DRAGON AND WAYS TO SHAPE CULTURAL IDENTITIES IN INSTITUTE WORKING VIETNAM AND JAPAN PAPER SERIES Nguyen Ngoc Tho | University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City THE SYMBOL OF THE DRAGON AND WAYS TO SHAPE 1 CULTURAL IDENTITIES IN VIETNAM AND JAPAN Nguyen Ngoc Tho University of Social Sciences and Humanities Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City Abstract Vietnam, a member of the ASEAN community, and Japan have been sharing Han- Chinese cultural ideology (Confucianism, Mahayana Buddhism etc.) and pre-modern history; therefore, a great number of common values could be found among the diverse differences. As a paddy-rice agricultural state of Southeast Asia, Vietnam has localized Confucianism and absorbed it into Southeast Asian culture. Therefore, Vietnamese Confucianism has been decentralized and horizontalized after being introduced and accepted. Beside the local uniqueness of Shintoism, Japan has shared Confucianism, the Indian-originated Mahayana Buddhism and other East Asian philosophies; therefore, both Confucian and Buddhist philosophies should be wisely laid as a common channel for cultural exchange between Japan and Vietnam. This semiotic research aims to investigate and generalize the symbol of dragons in Vietnam and Japan, looking at their Confucian and Buddhist absorption and separate impacts in each culture, from which the common and different values through the symbolic significances of the dragons are obviously generalized. The comparative study of Vietnamese and Japanese dragons can be enlarged as a study of East Asian dragons and the Southeast Asian legendary naga snake/dragon in a broader sense. The current and future political, economic and cultural exchanges between Japan and Vietnam could be sped up by applying a starting point at these commonalities.

Rosengard, Trần Thị Quế Giang, Đinh Vũ Trang Ngân, Huỳnh Thế Du, and Juan Pablo Chauvin Executive Summary The total amount of development finance generated by Vietnam has been exceptionally high from all significant sources using all standard measures of comparison. However, there are many potential unintended consequences of Vietnam’s successful resource mobilization, with significant implications for the future financing of development. There are several steps the government can take to mitigate these risks. The principal vulnerabilities created by Vietnam’s mobilization of substantial resources for development finance fall into two main categories: threats to macroeconomic stability caused by imbalances in the composition of funding; and risks for microeconomic management arising from imprudent financing structures. The most serious macroeconomic threats are: public sector funds crowding out both access to and utilization of private sector funds; overleveraging of insufficient equity for unsustainable levels of debt; financial exclusion of low-income households and family enterprises; and flight of hot capital.

  • Driving Growth Through Innovation in Vietnam Keeping an Eye on the Prize and an Open Mind
    Driving growth through innovation in Vietnam Keeping an eye on the prize and an open mind In association with In mid-December 2017 in Hanoi, more than a dozen leaders of Vietnam’s banking, finance and FinTech industry joined a roundtable luncheon hosted by EY to discuss developments in the sector and how competing interests can be aligned to drive future growth. Finding synergies between legacy financial institutions and the more disruptive FinTech start-up players was a key part of the discussion, as was how these new developments in the financial services industry are facing the challenge of being ahead of a more conservative regulatory environment. Finally, the discussion also addressed ways in which technology could be used to streamline services and drive down the cost of service provision using automation and other technological advances. Competition and Cooperation He said banks have generally not welcomed the emergence of the FinTech companies. Like many industries in Vietnam, the FinTech sector “The partnership between FinTech players and has seen rapid growth in recent years. While it is the traditional finance industry has always difficult to gauge the exact amount of investment been a struggle in the early days”. new FinTechs have attracted, an estimate published in Vietnam Investment Review from the Topica “We have seen similar struggles in recent years, Founder Institute put the total investment in particularly in the payment business.

  • WIDER Working Paper 2018/126: Vietnam
    WIDER Working Paper 2018/126 Vietnam The dragon that rose from the ashes Finn Tarp* October 2018 Abstract: This study takes as its starting point what Gunnar Myrdal had to say about Vietnam in the context of his seminal work, Asian Drama: An Inquiry into the Poverty of Nations, published in 1968. Myrdal pointed to the decisive nature of the Vietnamese people; and subsequent developments, which are explained in detail in this paper, demonstrate that amply. Vietnam adopted a dogged and, in retrospect, very costly position on economic policy and management from 1976. At the same time, when the approach taken did not produce the hoped-for results, an effective course correction was initiated in 1986 in the context of a comprehensive, domestically owned reform programme known as Doi Moi. Since then, Vietnam has come a very long way; the last three decades have witnessed one of the best performances in the world in terms of both economic growth and poverty reduction. People’s living standards have improved significantly, and the country’s socio-economic achievements are impressive from a human development perspective. Wide-ranging institutional reform has been introduced, including a greater reliance on market forces in the allocation of resources and the determination of prices. The shift from an economy completely dominated by the state and cooperative sectors, to one where the private sector and foreign investment both play key and dynamic roles. Significant strides have been made to further the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, without giving up strategic leadership and influence by the state.

  • Vietnamrejsen - Februar 2014
    Vietnamrejsen - februar 2014 Travel Report concerning ”Lotuslandet – 18 days cultural tour in Vietnam” Tour Guide: Martin Smedebøl, writer of this report. Time: February 2. – 19. 2014. Meeting the group in Kastrup Airport: 2 persons arrived 40 minutes late due to late arriving train from Jylland. 2 ladies travelling together were booked as double room, but they needed twin beds (should have been noted on the rooming lists). Air transportation: international transportation with Turkish Airlines (Boeing 777), and 2 domestic flights with Vietnam Airlines (Airbus 320). Group reservation always gives some problems with seating. All flights were done according to plan and on time. All luggages arrived on time. OBS: Our flight had an intermediate stop in Bangkok, which surprised the participants – it should have been mentioned in the letter of departure! Local transportations in Vietnam: all buses and drivers were good. Night train from Hanoi to Dong Hoi were OK (a myriad of Vietnamese travelers slept on the floors in the corridors due to Tet). It is not optimal to arrive in Dong Hoi at 4.40 a.m. – a later arrival would be better! The hotel boat in Halong Bay was not big enough for our group – a second boat was needed, and 4 passengers had to climb between the boats, when they went to sleep. Hotels in Vietnam: all hotels were OK, but Asian Ruby 3 in Saigon had not enough capacity for breakfast for 33 pax ++. Medaillion Hotel in Hanoi was charming and good situated. Moonlight Hotel in Hué was very new, good and with a nice restaurant at the top floor.
