Zusatztext 'Always thoughtful and at times inspirational this is a uniquely integrated account of managers and management in Vietnam.' - Peter Lawrence! Emeritus Professor! Loughborough University'We all need to know more about the new economic reforms in Vietnam and their implications for global business. This clearly written book is one of the best on Vietnamese management at hand. It will surely fill a gap in the market.' - Malcolm Warner! Professor and Fellow Emeritus! Wolfson College and Judge Business School! University of Cambridge. Coauthor of New Human Resource Management Models in China and India! London: Routledge! 2012.'This is a comprehensive book on the nature and substance of Vietnamese management. It provides a philosophical foundation of Vietnamese management! including Confucianism! Marxism-Leninism! capitalism and nationalism as well as portraying the role of different managers and their development among different ownership systems under the economic transformation. This is a valuable book for an audience who wants to have a better understanding of transitional economy in general and management practices in a socialist market economy in particular.' - Professor Ying Zhu! Director of the Centre for Asian Business! the University of South Australia'This is a concise! well-written book! which is both scholarly and readable. It has a substantive bibliography and a short index. It should serve both as a short text and a work of reference... Since there is very limited amount of literature available on Vietnamese management compared with what one can find on the Chinese case! one can only welcome this new work as a helpful contribution to the literature and to understanding this new variation of management in a transitional economy.' - Malcolm Warner Judge Business School University of Cambridge; Human Systems Management 32 (2013).
