1. China’s  dual  circulation  strategy: implications  and policy lessons for Vietnam’s economy

Nguyen Trong Nghia, Do Minh Ngoc

In the context of turbulent globalization, since 2020, China has implemented the "Dual Circulation Strategy" (DCS) as a central policy directive. This strategy aims to concurrently boost the domestic market and maintain an active role in international trade and investment. The DCS is designed not only to strengthen China's internal economic resilience but also to generate ripple effects on the regional and global economies, including Vietnam. This analysis reveals that the Dual Circulation  Strategy  presents  both  opportunities  and  challenges  for  Vietnam.  Vietnam  can potentially leverage the trend of global supply chain shifts and expand its exports to the Chinese market; however, simultaneously, it must contend with escalating competitive pressure and the risk of  increasing  dependence  on  raw  materials  and  technology  imported  from  China.  Given  this evolving landscape, several key policy orientations are proposed for Vietnam to ensure independent, self-reliant, and sustainable economic development, including: actively capitalizing on the domestic market, restructuring supply chains, selectively attracting high-quality Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), fostering innovation coupled with human resource development, diversifying international economic partners, and linking economic growth with macroeconomic stability. These solutions will enable Vietnam to proactively adapt to the changes in the global economic structure induced by China's Dual Circulation Strategy.

Nguyen Xuan Dien, Nguyen Thuy Linh

This study validates a model comprising five competency groups that influence the demand for human resources in HR in Vietnam, based on a survey of 300 valid responses in 2025. The results of Cronbach’s Alpha, EFA, CFA, regression, and SEM show that  all competency groups have positive impacts, with professional competencies and relationship management competencies being the most significant. The research supplements empirical evidence  for  HR  configuration  theory  and  proposes  recommendations  for  enterprises  and educational institutions in the context of digital transformation.

4. Research  on  factors  affecting  the  quality  of  human resources of the state treasury of region IV

Trinh Thi Hong Thai, Tran Thi Hang,  Le Thi Mai

The article focuses on analyzing factors affecting the quality of human resources (HR). Based on theory and research overview, the article builds a research model with 5 independent variables: recruitment, working environment, salary, benefits, training and job performance. The study uses a  combination of qualitative and  quantitative  methods with  171  valid  survey  forms collected at the State Treasury (KBNN) region IV (including the KBNN Hung Yen merged with the KBNN of Ha Nam, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces, headquartered in Hung Yen according to Decision No. 385/QD-BTC dated February 26, 2025). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 26 through the steps of reliability testing, EFA, and OLS linear regression. The results show that the working environment and benefits are the two factors that have the strongest impact on the quality of human resources, followed by training and job performance, salary and recruitment. On that basis, the article proposes a system of recommendations for each group of solutions to improve the quality of human resources at the regional Treasury.

5. Current state  of  green  human  resource  management (GHRM) in the tourism industry in Vietnam

Nguyen Thi Thu Linh

In the context of Vietnam's tourism sector striving for sustainable development and climate change adaptation, Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) is increasingly regarded as a strategic tool to enhance workforce quality and promote green tourism. This paper aims to clarify  the  concept  of  GHRM,  its  key  components,  and  its  role  in  the  tourism  industry,  while analyzing  the  current  state  of  GHRM  implementation  in  Vietnam.  By  comparing  the  policy frameworks and practical applications of GHRM in Thailand and South Korea, the study draws relevant lessons for Vietnam. The qualitative research approach is employed through the analysis of secondary documents, content analysis of prior studies, and comparative analysis of international policies.  Findings  reveal  that  while  Vietnam  has  initiated  some  GHRM  practices  in  selected localities and tourism businesses, the overall implementation remains fragmented, lacking systemic coordination  and  institutional  support.  Based  on  this,  the  paper  proposes  solutions  such  as establishing  a  national  GHRM  framework  for  tourism,  enhancing  green  workforce  training, fostering  collaboration  between  government,  enterprises,  and  training  institutions,  and strengthening monitoring and communication mechanisms. These efforts are expected to contribute to the realization of sustainable tourism development goals and improve the competitiveness of Vietnam’s tourism industry.

6. Factors  influencing  digital  transformation  in  the accounting  sector  of  people's  credit  funds:  an empirical study in Hung Yen province

Cao Thi Hang, Trinh Thi Hong Thai

Digital transformation in the accounting sector has become an inevitable trend aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and financial transparency within financial institutions, particularly People's Credit Funds (PCFs). This study focuses on analyzing and evaluating the factors influencing digital transformation in the accounting field of PCFs located in Hung Yen Province. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative analyses, the research is based on 196 valid survey responses, analyzed using SPSS 26 through reliability testing, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. The findings indicate that business environment pressure and technological infrastructure are the two most significant factors driving digital transformation  in  accounting,  followed  by  corporate  culture  and  the  technological  competency  of accounting staff. Based on these results, the study proposes several practical recommendations and solutions to promote digital transformation in the accounting sector of PCFs.

Nguyen Thi Thuy Linh, Truong Thi Tuyet Nhung, Nguyen Duc Thang

The article focuses on clarifying the opportunities and challenges in the process of developing green logistics in Vietnam. Opportunities in the process of developing green logistics include receiving the commitment of the Government and many supporting policies, increasing green consumption trends, increasingly developing technology and constant innovation. However, in addition to opportunities, green logistics also faces some challenges in the development process such as high investment costs, lack of awareness and specialized human resources, consumer behavior and old operating habits. From there, the article recommends some solutions in the coming time to take advantage of opportunities and limit challenges in the process of transitioning to green logistics in Vietnam.
