The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting the performance of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. The research team uses a sample size of 456 SMEs. The information is collected by the authors based on the survey results and the financial statements of SMEs listed on Vietnam stock market. Descriptive statistical methods and multivariate linear regression analysis are also used in the study. The data processed through SPSS 20.0 software and the research results show that factors of access to government support policies, education level of enterprises owner, enterprises scale, society relationships of enterprises and revenue growth rate affect the business performance of SMEs in Vietnam. In addition, the study uses a multivariate linear regression model based on the least squares method to estimate the factors affecting the performance of SMEs in Vietnam. The research results also show that the performance of the enterprises is influenced by different factors: scale, growth rate, profitability, and industry cohesion of enterprises. On that basis, the article proposes some solutions to improve the performance of SMEs in Vietnam in the current period.
To meet the needs of innovation, to improve the competitiveness of information technology based on the professional abilities and resources, internal business is not enough, but there is a need to seek external support through business support services such as market search support, trade promotion, legal advice, human resource training, support supply and technology transfer support. There are several services to support businesses and to increase efficiency when they are developed in both quantity and scale of service provision and quality, as well as service structure. So how do we analyze the factors that affect information technology support services in Vietnam? Answering this question helps to suggest solutions and policies to promote the development of the business support service sector and contributes to the rapid development of information technology enterprises in Vietnam. This paper uses information from a survey data of 315 Vietnamese information technology (IT) of small and medium sized enterprises and 460 support service providers in 2018. Data are processed through STATA software version 14.0, and SPSS 20.0 software. The results indicate the Vietnamese business units need to improve to develop the information technology service market, significantly.
The world is faced with climate change and gradual increases in seawater and carbon dioxide levels, and leaders of countries all over the world need to take action in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper aims to identify the factors affecting environmental pollution in Asian countries for sustainable development. This study collected data from the World Bank covering 2000–2020 for 15 Asian countries. The data were processed via STATA 17.0; the study employed the unrestricted fixed effect to solve the research problems. The empirical results suggest that electricity consumption, fossil fuel consumption, renewable consumption, population, imports, and exports affected environmental pollution in the 15 Asian countries. In addition, electricity consumption and fossil fuel consumption had a strong positive effect on Asia’s environmental pollution. Moreover, population and renewable consumption negatively affected CO2 emissions. These results indicate that, if an Asian country’s electricity consumption increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will increase by 0.674%; if an Asian country’s fossil fuel consumption increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will increase by 0.203%; if an Asian country’s renewable consumption increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will decrease by 0.01568%; if an Asian country’s export of goods and services increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will decrease by 0.054%; if an Asian country’s import of goods and services increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will increase by 0.067%; if an Asian country’s population increases by 1%, then its CO2 emissions will decrease by 0.2586%. Based on the empirical results, the study suggests new policies for green energy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In many studies in Vietnam, the scientists only focus on economic growth and attracting foreign direct investment. Environmental pollution has not been paid much attention in Vietnam. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factors affecting environmental pollution in Vietnam. The author gathered the annual information based on World Bank data from 2000 to 2022. Data were processed via STATA 16.0; linear regression was used in this research. The results show that renewable consumption, economic growth and foreign direct investment inflow positively affect environmental pollution in Vietnam. Renewable consumption, foreign direct investment and economic growth have a strong effect on Vietnam’s environmental pollution. The empirical results show that if renewable consumption increases 1% then CO2 emission will increase 1.19%; if FDI inflows increase 1% then CO2 emission will increase 1.39%; and if GDP increase 1% then CO2 emission increase 1.26%. This research also gives some solutions with which Vietnam could develop a green and sustainable economy in the future.
