- Abstract
In the light of competition and the search for sources of competitive advantage, developing and managing human resources has increasingly become the focus of attention in some countries. The importance of human assets for success has been recognised and stressed in developed, as well as developing, countries. For example, in Vietnam a new focus was driven by the 'doi mo' ('renovation') policy that was meant to shift a rigid centrally planned system towards a more flexible marketoriented economy. The consequent structural reforms revealed several impediments, including human resource management systems, slowing the pace of development and global integration with implications for competition. This study reassesses the status of people management in Vietnam and argues for the need for better management and development of its human capital.
