Transitional developing countries are currently grappling with simultaneous transformations in their economic, social, and political spheres. One approach to understanding potential shifts in social values is to explore how perceptions of economic success (PES) vary in relation to social status and affiliations. This study investigates changes in PES across various socio-political groups and networks in rural Vietnam. The analysis draws on panel data from 2,117 rural households collected through the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey (VARHS) in 2012 and 2014. Disaggregated by socio-political groups/networks, results show that engaging in power or connection with power tends to stipulate individuals’ endeavors rather than social networks in attaining economic success. In addition, membership in mass organizations such as the Women’s Union, the Farmers’ Union, or the Youth Union does not appear to substitute for political connections or broader social ties, but instead correlates with a greater emphasis on hard work, often in the absence of significant work experience. These results contribute to the limited body of literature on the transformation of social values in transitional rural societies and offer insights into how perceptions of economic success differ among socio-political groups and networks.

There are some significant issues of the paper: 1. Quite a lot of arguments in the paper are incorrect or subjective. For example: this aspect has never been studied before (abstract), English Language is a very important language in the world today and it is equally important in the context of India too (Introduction), English is the only language which is understood at almost all the places, As such communication doesn't have anything to do with any particular language and it is just a means to convey messages. Task Based Language Teaching is currently the most used approach to teaching second or foreign language and perhaps, the most researched field. 2. The language use in this paper is informal: use of contraction, word choices, etc.Therefore, in almost all the professional and business institutions in India English Language communication skills are taught, good understanding of English will give the students access to the huge library all across the world. 3. There are many mistakes in grammatical usage: In India there are more than 30 regional language spoken in different parts, In addition to English being necessary to get jobs, it is also important to even understand the higher education subjects. 4. There is an incorrect use of in-text citation and a lack of updated papers, especially in the Introduction and Literature review 5. The use of questionnaire is not rigorous enough to bring reliable and valid data for this study. 6. No deep analysis of the Paired Sample T-Test Results was provided to shed light on the meaning of such result 7. The discussion section was not provided to bring the significance of the study. In other words, it is still unclear how meaningful the study is and in what way other researhcers can benefit from th study. 8. The paper should follow a consistent referencing format (e.g., APA) throughout the paper.

The present era witnesses rapid advancements in science, technology, and unforeseen transformations that impact all dimensions of the global economy and society, including Vietnam. Consequently, a comprehensive reform of the education system becomes necessary to address the evolving developmental requirements. This reform encompasses multiple aspects such as organizational structure, administrative management, curriculum content, teaching methodologies, and quality assurance. To navigate the changing landscape effectively, the establishment of an educational philosophy that can guide the activities of educational institutions within the national education system becomes imperative. This article acknowledges the crucial need, given the current state of education, to formulate an educational philosophy that will provide direction for Vietnam's education in the new contextual landscape.

The study aims to examine the role of institutions in the relationship between foreign direct investment and environmental pollution in ASEAN countries from 2000 to 2019. With the General Moment method, the results show that foreign direct investment impacts increasing environmental pollution. At the same time, aspects of institutional quality such as the rule of law, government efficiency, political stability, quality regulations, and voice and accountability reduce environmental pollution. Furthermore, the study shows that institutional quality is essential in reducing the negative impact of foreign capital inflows on environmental pollution in ASEAN countries. From these results, the study recommends that ASEAN countries implement environmental protection plans when attracting foreign investment flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on the Vietnamese banking sector, leading banks to search for talented employees who can support their business and develop this competent workforce. However, there is currently a lack of research examining the effects of multi-level challenges on talent management (TM) and their on-going changes within the post-pandemic context in the Vietnamese banking industry. This research’s objective is to address this gap by exploring the challenges faced by TM practices in the banking industry with the consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s influences. The study used a qualitative approach and purposive sampling method with 20 semi-structured interviews conducted with bank managers from various types of banks. Saturation was achieved in 17 interviews. For better robustness, 3 further interviews were conducted, where similarly, no emergent themes were revealed. Thematic analysis was afterwards employed to examine interview data. The findings revealed different multi-level challenges for TM, including talent mobility, digital transformation, competition for talent between banks, changing customer demands, limited resources, and individual talent expectations. This research would contribute to the theoretical development of TM and contextual impacts on TM, and pave the way for comparison with similar industries in terms of TM related issues.

The study investigates the effects of the US unconventional monetary policy on the Vietnamese economy, focusing on the output and price index. Besides, the differences in the response of these indicators to the shock related to non-traditional tools implemented by the US in the Global Financial Crisis and during the pandemic crisis are also explored. By applying the Structural Vector Autoregressive model on the monthly dataset from January 2007 to April 2022, the results show that an expansionary monetary policy of the US by unconventional measures leads to a rise in the output and price index of Vietnam. In addition, risk-taking channels and portfolio rebalancing channels are important in the transmission of the US monetary policy to Vietnam, they cause booms in asset prices via the surge of capital flows. Moreover, another important finding is that the impact of US UMP on the Vietnamese economy during the Global Financial Crisis was generally two times higher than during the epidemic crisis.
