[Research Contribution] The Impact of Earnings Management on Stock Prices of Listed Firms through Financial Statement Disclosure Violations: An Empirical Study on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange during the COVID-19 Pandemic

17 Jul 2025

As Vietnam’s stock market continues to expand in terms of both capitalization and the number of listed firms, transparency and the quality of corporate disclosures have become key concerns for investors and regulators alike. This issue became particularly critical in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic—a period marked by economic downturn and heightened market sensitivity—during which a number of firms such as FLC, ITA, and SJF were delisted due to information disclosure violations and stock price manipulation. In response to these developments, a research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hà Xuân Thạch (University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City – UEH) and Dr. Trần Thị Thanh Quý (Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City) conducted a large-scale empirical study involving 160 listed manufacturing and business enterprises on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange during the 2019–2021 period. This study is notably the first in Vietnam to systematically investigate the relationship between earnings management and stock prices through the lens of disclosure violations in the context of a market heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

[Research Contribution] Application of the Technology - Organization - Environment (TOE) Framework for Vietnamese Enterprises in the Digital Era with Sustainable Development Goals

15 Jul 2025

After the pandemic, digital transformation is no longer an option – it is a matter of survival for businesses. However, the reality shows that many Vietnamese businesses are still struggling in this process. Not because of a lack of technology, but because of a lack of a suitable roadmap, aligned with their own internal capabilities and industry context. Digital transformation cannot succeed if it merely copies models from elsewhere. Recognizing this, a group of student researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) chose to approach this problem using the TOE framework – a method that integrates three core elements: Technology, Organization, and Environment. The goal is to propose a practical direction that can be directly applied to the digital transformation strategy of Vietnamese enterprises.
