[Research Contribution] A Strategy for Engaging Stakeholders to Implement Living Labs for Addressing Urban Issues
27 Dec 2025
While many cities worldwide have successfully implemented the Living Lab model as a tool to address urban issues and promote sustainable development, Ho Chi Minh City is facing an urgent need to establish and operate Living Labs in its journey to become a smart and sustainable city. International experience shows that the key factor determining the effectiveness of a Living Lab is the level of engagement and cooperation among its stakeholders. Based on a qualitative approach, this paper by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) synthesizes the theoretical framework for stakeholder engagement and analyzes leading Living Lab models in Europe and Asia that share similarities with the context of Ho Chi Minh City. From this analysis, the authors propose implications for solutions, methods, and action plans to effectively connect stakeholders, contributing to solving urban problems and fostering the development of a smart and sustainable city.

[Research Contribution] Foreign preference and students’ intention to buy chinese fashion in Ho Chi Minh City
27 Dec 2025
In the context of increasingly deep economic integration, Vietnam's garment industry is facing significant competitive pressure from Chinese fashion products. With its price advantage, diverse designs, and suitability for young people's tastes, Chinese clothing quickly gained the interest of students – a customer group with high fashion needs but limited financial resources. Additionally, the mentality of valuing foreign goods still exists among a segment of consumers, making imported products more appealing and posing significant challenges for domestic garment businesses. Based on this reality, a research team from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) implemented a study to analyze the impact of consumer ethnocentrism on students' intention to purchase Chinese clothing products in Ho Chi Minh City.

[Research Contribution] Climate Adaptation and Ownership Structure: Determinants of Global Bank Performance
25 Dec 2025
Climate change has become a tangible reality, with profound impacts on urban life, particularly on the financial and banking markets. Faced with the risk of revenue decline or bankruptcy in climate-sensitive industries, which in turn leads to rising non-performing loans and affects financial stability, climate adaptation is both a mandatory requirement and an opportunity to reshape the banking market. Motivated by this concern, a research team from the ISB College of Talents at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) analyzed data from over 6,000 global banks from 2002–2019 to assess the impact of climate adaptation readiness and the role of different ownership types on bank performance.

[Contribution Research] Factors influencing urban customers’ willingness to use crowd shipping services in Ho Chi Minh City
24 Dec 2025
In the age of booming online shopping, fast and convenient delivery has become a familiar expectation of consumers. To meet this demand, a new delivery model has emerged and is thriving in Vietnam: Crowdshipping. This is about utilizing people who already have a travel route to deliver goods to customers. This method helps shorten delivery times, increase flexibility, and can even reduce the number of vehicles on the road, contributing to limiting pollution and traffic congestion. However, for a new service to develop sustainably, the most important thing is still: are customers willing to use it? This question was answered by a research team from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) thru a study on the factors influencing the decision of inner-city customers to use crowd shipping.
