This research aims to provide an overview of studies on knowledge sharing in Vietnam. Knowledge sharing is crucial in fostering innovation, collaboration, and organizational learning. Understanding the dynamics, challenges, and best practices of knowledge sharing in the Vietnamese context can contribute to developing effective strategies for knowledge management and transfer. The study utilizes a comprehensive literature review, including academic research, case studies, and reports, to examine various aspects of knowledge sharing in Vietnam. It explores the cultural, social, and economic factors influencing knowledge-sharing behaviors and practices among individuals, organizations, and communities.

The bamboo sector significantly contributes to environmental protection, employment opportunities, and poverty reduction in rural and mountainous areas. This assertion holds true for Vietnam. Bamboo processing enterprises play increasingly important roles in value chain upgrading, despite growing overexploitation and mismanagement. This significantly affects small bamboo enterprises (SBEs) upgrading. In effect, SBEs are constrained by several factors, including the application of outdated technology, the lack of product innovation, limited capital, unstable labour resources, and poor market access. In addition, these enterprises do not only face stiff competition from large scales enterprise, but they are also confronted with international competitors (e.g. bamboo and rattan manufacturers from China). As current policies are yet to address these issues, SBEs remain exposed to shocks that may cause them to disappear. The consequences may include rising unemployment and poverty levels within rural communities in Vietnam. In the face of multi-faceted structural deterrents to the survival of SBEs, a few SBEs in the study region have grown successfully, and have established themselves in international markets over the last years. The conditions under which such SBEs thrived remain relatively less understood. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the key determining factors for the upgrading of SBEs is lacking. To address this gap, this thesis presents evidence of both successful and unsuccessful cases of SBEs upgrading in Vietnam. ; Der Bambussektor trägt wesentlich zum Umweltschutz, zu Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten und zur Armutsbekämpfung in ländlichen und bergigen Gebieten bei. Dies trifft auch auf Vietnam zu. Bambus verarbeitende Unternehmen spielen eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle in der Wertschöpfungskette, trotz des wachsenden Raubbaus und Missmanagements. Dies hat erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung kleiner Bambusbetriebe (small bamboo enterprises - SBEs). Tatsächlich werden SBEs durch mehrere Faktoren eingeschränkt, darunter die Anwendung veralteter Technologie, der Mangel an Produktinnovationen, begrenztes Kapital, instabile Arbeitsressourcen und schlechter Marktzugang. Darüber hinaus stehen diese Unternehmen nicht nur im harten Wettbewerb mit nationalen Unternehmen, sondern auch mit internationalen Marktteilnehmern (z.B. Bambus- und Rattanverarbeiter aus China). Da die derzeitige Politik sich diesen Problemen noch nicht gewidmet hat, sind die SBEs weiterhin Schocks ausgesetzt, die zu ihrem Verschwinden führen können. Die Folgen können steigende Arbeitslosigkeit und Armut in den ländlichen Gemeinden Vietnams sein. Trotz der vielschichtigen strukturellen Hindernisse für das Überleben von SBEs sind einige wenige von ihnen in der Studienregion erfolgreich gewachsen und haben sich in den letzten Jahren auf internationalen Märkten etabliert. Die Bedingungen, unter denen solche SBEs gediehen sind, sind noch wenig bekannt. Zudem fehlt bislang eine umfassende Analyse der wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren für die Weiterentwicklung von SBEs. Um diese Wissenslücke zu schließen, werden in dieser Arbeit sowohl erfolgreiche als auch erfolglose Fälle von SBEs in Vietnam vorgestellt.

World leaders at the First East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur in 2005 endorsed high-level studies and dialogues on an enlarged ASEAN free trade agreement to promote regional cooperation for mutual economic and political benefits between the ASEAN and the world's other trading blocs. The endorsement is consistent with India's contemporary reforms, with its 'Look East' policy and economic diplomacy. In spite of this important development, only limited research has been carried out or reported for informed discussions and policy analysis in the particular case of ASEAN3+India. This paper is a substantive evidence-based study of India's reforms, 'Look East' policy, economic diplomacy, and East Asia Summit trade and cooperation issues. It uses the recently developed award-winning generalised gravity theory (see Tran Van Hoa 2004) to construct an ASEAN3+India model of growth and endogenous trade. Using historical data from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Reserve Bank of India and Japan's ICSEAD, the paper provides substantive findings on the causal impact of ASEAN3+India trade in goods, FDI and services, and post-1991 reforms on economic growth for more credible policy analysis in the sense of Kydland (2006). Implications of the findings for India's engagement with Asia are also discussed.

The paper looks at a case of catching-up in managerial resources in the typical newly industrialising economy of South Korea. It examines long-term changes in the role of foreign capital and technology that are caused by the efforts of local firms in the development process. The industry selected for the study is synthetic fiber, one of the modern manufacturing industries developed since 1960s that has played an important role in South Korea's rapid economic growth.
