[Research Contribution] Determinants impacting young consumers purchasing behavioral intention on sustainable fashion: exploration in Ho Chi Minh City

11 Jan 2026

Every year, the fashion industry generates millions of tons of waste and consumes vast amounts of water and energy, yet new clothes are constantly bought, worn a few times, and then forgotten. Young people understand that better than anyone else. They talk about green living, responsible consumption, and sustainable fashion. But when faced with a trendy item and an "environmentally friendly" option, the decision doesn't always lean toward sustainability. So, what really makes young people willing to open their wallets for sustainable fashion, and what makes them hesitate? Research by students from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) was conducted to find the answer to that question, right in the vibrant consumer lifestyle of Ho Chi Minh City.

[Research Contribution] What influences UEH students’ attitudes toward the “UEH Zero Waste Campus” project

[Research Contribution] What influences UEH students’ attitudes toward the “UEH Zero Waste Campus” project

07 Jan 2026

Every day on campus, waste naturally appears in student life. Plastic cups, styrofoam boxes, and plastic bags are used "wherever they're convenient," all repeating like a habit. When those small choices happen every day, waste is no longer a distant environmental issue, but becomes part of the learning space itself. In that context, the "UEH Zero Waste Campus" project was launched with the goal of not only reducing waste but also changing how students perceive and respond to a zero-waste lifestyle. Based on this reality, a research team from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted a study to understand the factors influencing students' attitudes toward the project, thereby explaining why some are willing to change while many remain hesitant.

[Research Contribution] Optimizing green supply chain with artificial intelligence: promoting sustainable development and increasing the green purchasing trend of young people in Ho Chi Minh City

[Research Contribution] Optimizing green supply chain with artificial intelligence: promoting sustainable development and increasing the green purchasing trend of young people in Ho Chi Minh City

02 Jan 2026

In recent years, "green" is no longer just a media slogan, but is gradually becoming an important criterion in how businesses produce, operate, and approach consumers. Alongside this, artificial intelligence (AI) has also quietly infiltrated every corner of economic life, from demand forecasting and optimizing transportation to managing complex data. When these two trends converge, a major question arises: can technology truly contribute to promoting green consumption, or is it all just image and promises? From that context, a group of students from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted research to explore how AI participates in the green supply chain and influences green purchasing decisions among young people in Ho Chi Minh City.

[Research Contribution] Impulse Buying Behavior in Live-Streaming Commerce: The Roles of Interface Design, Interaction Quality, and Customer Engagement

31 Dec 2025

As live-streaming commerce continues to boom in Vietnam, impulse buying behavior has become increasingly common, driven by high levels of interaction and real-time shopping experiences. However, the roles of interface design and interaction quality in fostering customer engagement and stimulating this behavior remain underexplored, especially in price-sensitive markets like the Mekong Delta. Motivated by this context, a research team from UEH Mekong, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), conducted a study to assess the impact of interface design and interaction quality on impulse buying in a live-streaming environment. The study examines the mediating role of customer engagement and the moderating effect of promotion addiction, based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework.
