“…Annually, the contribution of the IT industry to the state budget is around 10 per cent (Chau, 2016). The ICT sector in Vietnam has demonstrated growth across a broad range of metrics with the number of hardware firms increased at an annual rate of 26 per cent and employment soared by 24 per cent from 2009 to 2013 (Sturgeon and Zylberberg, 2016). According to the NASSCOM (2017) report, the demand for software in the world will rise to 15-20 per cent from 2016 to 2020.…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the relationship between organizational culture (measured by mission, involvement, consistency, adaptability and well-being), employee organizational commitment and employee innovation in the Vietnamese IT industry. Design/methodology/approach This is a quantitative research using perceptual scale questionnaire survey developed based on the literature review and in-depth expert interviews. A total of 319 IT professionals working in Vietnam participated in the survey. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Findings The results suggest that overall organizational culture and organizational commitment are positively and significantly related to employee innovation. A closer look reveals that out of the organizational culture’s five dimensions, mission, adaptability and well-being are found specifically and significantly related to employee innovation. Research limitations/implications The study used a cross-sectional survey where case studies of longitudinal study may add more insight. Further, the Denison organizational culture survey instrument might be subjective. Finally, there may be also some moderating or mediating effects that are not taken into account in this study. Practical implications The enhancement of adaptability, well-being, mission and commitment can increase employee innovation in the IT industry. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature and practice by demonstrating the relationship between corporate culture and organizational commitment on employee innovation in a developing country (i.e. Vietnam).

The value chains of fresh fruits and vegetables are sensitive to timeliness and require a quick information flow. Keeping in view its importance, this study has focused on mapping the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) along the citrus value chain, including information channels being used, factors influencing ICT use, challenges, and weaknesses faced by value chain stakeholders. Cross-sectional data were mainly collected by structured and semi-structured interviews with value chain stakeholders and key informants. The citrus industry is very important for Pakistan as it is the 4th most important export commodity. There are two product flows in the citrus value chain, one is more traditional with abundant intermediaries, in which contractors, commission agents and wholesalers are the main stakeholders, and the other is export-oriented with processors and exporters (P&Es) as the main stakeholders. It has been noticed that growers are not using ICT extensively at the production stage. Logit analysis has proved that education significantly has influenced ICT use while age has a negative impact on ICT use at the production stage. Mobile usage is quite common at the production stage and intermediary trade; however, the use of the internet is very limited as the majority of intermediaries have lower education. Moreover, both mobile phones and internet are used to a significant extent along the export oriented flow. The results have indicated that there is a vast digital divide among value chain players. Processors and exporters are high ICT users followed by growers and intermediaries. In order to develop an effective information system, all the stakeholders in the chain need to have a certain level of knowledge and expertise of ICT use to improve information use efficiency. This study presents a whole picture of ICT use along the citrus value chain as well as challenges faced by different stakeholders. It also provides suggestions for policymakers to establish an ICT-based information system and enhance ICT adoption at each stage, especially production and intermediary trade, which can further increase growers’ market participation and improve market efficiency. In addition, it is necessary to make policies under the value chain framework rather than just focused on one stage or one stakeholder.

“…Such extreme geographic concentration creates riskspolitical, supply chain, and exchange rateleading some firms reliant on production in China to adopt a strategy sometimes referred to as a "China +1", meant to diversify risk and seek lower costs as labor rates began to rise in China. Most notable are Samsung's massive investments in Vietnam (Sturgeon and Zylberberg, 2016), which drove up that country's share of handset export value to 11% of the world total in 2015 and 16% by 2019, mostly at the expense of exports from the Republic of Korea. Nevertheless, China's dominance in mobile handset production is very difficult if not impossible to mitigate, at least over the short term.…”
