  Message from the Conference Chairman

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to attend the International Conference on Management Education for the 21st Century.

The conference is a joint undertaking of partner business schools to bring to Vietnam a selection of leading management educators and business leaders. These experts will share their thoughts and experience on models in management education that will establish and further global competitiveness.

The purpose of the conference is to serve as a mechanism to stimulate development of new curricular elements, methods and programs that synthesize effective concepts and features of international management models.

Since the management of information technology has become a critical determinant of competitive advantage for enterprises in virtually all sectors of a country’s economy, the conference will have a strong focus on information technology management education and the use of information technology in management education.

I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to:

  • Participate in an international exchange of information on the needs and gaps in management education
  • Learn about new approaches and alternate models for management education
  • Benchmark your educational program with those of other institutions.
  • Make valuable contacts with members of the Vietnamese and international management education community. 

This conference promises to be both informative and stimulating. 
I look forward to welcoming and seeing you there.

Overview


The rapidly changing nature of business in the global marketplace, together with the transformation of the Vietnam economy, has strongly reshaped the business environment in the country and in turn affected the nature of the demand for its management education. Moreover information technology is becoming an integral part of every business. Many of the business solutions are not working anymore for managers and organizations in the information age. These and other emerging challenges demand management education in the country to evolve quickly in order to respond effectively to changing needs. Therefore the choice currently facing management education in Vietnam is how to quickly adapt the new environment to guarantee the future success

While focusing on the conditions of Vietnam and finding ways to successfully integrate the country into the world market, the Conference welcomes the contribution of thoughts and sharing of experiences by researchers, management thinkers and practitioners from other countries
