[Research Contribution] Enhancing Customer Experience Over Time: Strategies for Promoting Customer Citizenship Behavior in the Retail Environment

14 May 2026

In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the retail industry, as products and prices gradually become homogenized, customer experience has emerged as a decisive differentiating factor. Research by a team of authors from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) indicates that experience is not a series of isolated touchpoints but a cumulative process over time, with long-term effects on customer behavior. When built positively and consistently, experience not only enhances satisfaction but also strengthens the bond with the brand, thereby promoting supportive behaviors such as referrals, feedback, and active engagement with the business. Consequently, the research suggests an important direction: businesses need to shift from a transactional mindset to developing sustainable relationships with customers.

[Research Contribution] From Connectivity Bottlenecks to a Multi-Experience Connected City: Repositioning Dong Nai’s Brand in the Southern Key Economic Region

07 May 2026

In the context of increasingly intense inter-urban competition, Dong Nai – a strategic gateway to the Southern Key Economic Region – is striving to reposition its urban brand through an integrated governance approach. Possessing the Long Thanh International Airport, an inter-regional transport infrastructure system, industrial parks, and abundant ecological resources, Dong Nai nevertheless faces a challenge: its disparate advantages have yet to be connected into a cohesive urban identity that can attract residents and transform transit passengers into diverse experiences. Research conducted by a group of authors from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) applies the Integrated Implementation City Branding Framework (IICBF) to analyze and propose a multi-experience urban development strategy, transforming Dong Nai from a transit point into an economically, touristically, and culturally attractive destination in the Southern region.
