“…The determination of this price, however, remains a problem. Instead of being determined by the market, it is often a political determination made by government bureaucrats (Andreff, 1993;Yates, 1995). In Steer and Taussig's survey approximately 10% of the entrepreneurs cited insufficient land space as their most serious problem.…”

This study assesses the motivations, perceived success factors and business problems experienced by entrepreneurs in Vietnam. It also compares the results between the northern and southern regions of the country. Using data from a survey of 378 Vietnamese entrepreneurs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, results show that Vietnamese entrepreneurs are motivated by the ability to provide jobs for themselves and family members, to gain public recognition, and to prove they can successfully run a business of their own. Important perceived entrepreneurial success factors include friendliness toward customers and a good product at a good price while significant business problems include too much competition, unreliable employees and the inability to obtain both short-term and long-term capital. Results also show a number of city/regional differences in motivation, success factors and perceived success. Implications for policymakers in Vietnam and other emerging economies are also presented.

“…The goal is to quickly catch up with the economic dynamics and standards of the particularly successful Southeast Asian "Tiger States" by accelerating economic growth and industrialisation. Vietnam must therefore achieve a "double transition from underdevelopment and from socialism" (Andreff 1993). Internationally, both the wider public and the scientific community paid little attention to these changes for a long time.…”

“…Since 1986 the Vietnamese government (and the ruling Communist Party) have been pursuing a policy of centrally organised and controlled transition to a free market economy, similar to that implemented in China. This policy has led to some first successes, especially since the beginning of the 1990s (Diehl 1993;Andreff 1993;Revilla Diez and Schätzl 1993;Bagoglu 1995;Dang Duy Thinh 1995). In the meantime important free market institutions have been established and legally secured.…”

The full-scale war started by Russia in Ukraine has caused many challenges to economic development, the overcoming of which is hard to be imagined without the research and innovation. Rebuilding R&I became another challenge for Ukrainian policymakers. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the R&I policy of Ukraine during the war caused by Russia and to develop policy recommendations for the postwar recovery. To achieve it, we used several methods, in particular expert opinion generalization, relevant scientific and policy literature analysis, and statistical analysis. The paper considers three approaches to innovation policy-making at crisis time: produce; procure; repurpose. Currently, Ukraine uses mainly the second one, by buying and receiving modern armament and equipment. Meanwhile, there were some innovative developments in Ukraine, which are not produced in sufficient quantities. After the war, Ukraine couldn’t buy armament due to fiscal constraints. Thus, in the short-run period, the government should reorient efforts toward repurposing of current developments. However, such an approach is not sustainable in the long-run period, when the development of a broader S&T base is required to create a solid base for further repurposing in emergency cases. The war caused massive damage to Ukrainian R&I potential, which by now is not fully measured and quantified. There are two types of damage: physical loss of research and innovation infrastructure (e.g. research facilities, and high-tech enterprises) and «brain drain», both of which should be the focus of R&I policymakers. Therefore, a set of policy measures is proposed to address the war-led challenges in R&I.
