Vietnam has had one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world in recent years, yet it remains a developing economy. There remains a need to improve factors influencing the development of its human resources through education at all levels, workplace training, corporate social responsibility, gender equality, support for entrepreneurship, and other practices and policies related to HR. Yet, national HRD, officially, is a relatively new concept in Vietnam. This edited volume highlights the importance of developing human resources, enabling Vietnam to continue its growth in its move into the ranks of developed countries. It examines the historical, political, economic, and cultural contexts embedded in HRD at national and organization levels and emphasizes the changes that HRD can bring about in the nation. This book offers scholars and practitioners a non-western view of how HRD research should be more indigenous and discusses implications for future research.
Despite recent high GDP growth rates, Vietnam remains a developing country in need of developing human resources (HR) of both genders. This can be done through education, workplace training, corporate social responsibility, policies for gender equality, support for entrepreneurship, and other practices and policies. Yet, national human resource development (NHRD) is a relatively new concept in Vietnam. This edited volume highlights the importance of HR, HRD, and NHRD, enabling Vietnam to experience sustainable growth and become a modern industrial country. It examines the positive changes effected by HRD considering Vietnam’s unique historical, political, economic, and cultural contexts. This book offers scholars and practitioners an indigenous HRD approach and discusses implications for future research and practices.
