Most economic analyses, in line with received opinion, assume that nonprofit organisations are intrinsically different from private (for-profit) or public organisations. A substantial proportion of the literature has sought to characterise these differences. Nevertheless, a smaller number of studies champion the idea that there are factors that may influence the behaviour of nonprofit organisations and cause them to lose their specificity. The aim of our paper is empirically to assess the impact of these factors. Our analysis differs from existing studies in three ways: (1) we seek to measure the influence of all these factors and not that of one of them considered in isolation, as is generally the case; (2) we do so by analysing an original database rather than drawing on case studies as much existing research does; and (3) we base it on an investigation of a key sector in knowledge-based economies—namely, the continuing training sector.

Cet article analyse l'impact de l'insertion internationale du Vietnam sur le processus de diffusion intranationale du VIH/sida. L'ouverture économique d'un pays est à l'origine d'un redéploiement des activités sur le territoire qui génère en corollaire des flux migratoires internes dont la dynamique et la nature conditionnent la dissémination du virus. Une enquête de terrain dans la province émergente de Haiphong confirme la vulnérabilité des migrants aux risques du VIH/sida et révèle que ce dernier se diffuse sur le territoire national par zones concentriques dont le noyau constitué des provinces bénéficiaires du processus de mondialisation serait entouré des provinces pauvres avoisinantes.
