“…For many years, Vietnam had been the focal point of the struggle for and against colonialism, of the ideological war between capitalism and socialism and, more recently, of the conflict between different approaches of reform (Beresford, 1989). Vietnam started taking its first steps towards economic reform in 1986, marked by the party-state resolution of 'doi moi', namely economic renovation (Ljunggren, 1993;Perkins, 1993).…”

The central theme of this article is to illustrate the similarity and difference of people-management system among the key economies in East Asia. The article not only identifies what elements do exist in East Asian people-management system, but also examines other new elements being adopted into the existing system with the influences from the US and Europe. The authors analyse the information on the changes of peoplemanagement system, factors causing the changes and time. The common phenomenon is that when there is a crisis, then that may provide some opportunities for drastic changes. The authors conclude the article by pointing out that HRM is in a reforming process towards hybrid people-management system in East Asia. However, this reforming process is not one-way only. A triangle-influence between East Asia, Europe and the US is the reality. In addition, multi-factors are shaping the outcome of reforming peoplemanagement system in East Asia, identified as foreign influence, the State's influence, the stage of social and economic development, and national and organizational historical path. Other economies, no matter in East Asia or other parts of the world, may draw some lessons from this study.

“…In the early 1980s, the state made various attempts to rectify the situation with the help of some micro-level market reforms, such as introducing the 'three-plan system' for state-owned-enterprises starting in 1979, and the authorization of 'output contracts' (khoan san pham) in agriculture (Beresford, 1989), which gave producers the freedom to buy and sell above their quota output. Yet, these microeconomic reforms appeared insufficient.…”

examining the performance of some countries which have been successful in both dimensions and a few which have not. The specific aim is to examine the historical experience of six countries in order to determine how a system can move to a situation in which improvements in Human Development accompany and support higher rates of growth which, in turn, contribute to further improvements in Human Development as the basic societal objective.

“…The economic reform launched by the Vietnamese government in 1986 was based on three key pillars: growth of the non-public sector, including indigenous private companies and foreign-owned entities; restructuring and privatisation of state-owned companies; and shifts to an export-oriented industrialisation strategy. Based on the advantages of rich natural resources and cheap labour, Vietnam achieved major economic successes: an average GDP growth rate of 8% from 1997 to 2007, with the volume of FDI increasing 10 times, from US$2.45b in 2001 to US$20.3b in 2007 (Beresford, 1989;Central Party Committee, 2001: 1;.…”

During the past decade, Vietnam has transitioned from a highly regulated and authoritarian system to a more market-oriented economy. During this period, Vietnam has also experienced unprecedented levels of industrial action. Informal wildcat strikes, as well as high labour turnover and absenteeism, were most apparent in foreign firms within specific provinces. This article examines the impact of wildcat strikes on reform within Vietnamese trade unions. It suggests that the strikes posed significant challenges for Vietnamese trade unions to be more democratic. However, union subordination to the Communist Party and managerially dependent enterprise unions remained a major obstacle to fundamental trade union reform.
