Abstract:

À de nombreux égards, la gestion stratégique de l'innovation semble faire l’objet d’un savoir sédimenté au gré de ses progrès successifs. Cependant, les analyses théoriques et inférentielles, qui servent de base à cette connaissance, ont été principalement développées du point de vue des pays occidentaux. En tant que telle, cette situation remet en question la généralisation et, peut-être plus encore, l’exhaustivité des travaux développés jusqu'à présent. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons donc d’explorer et d’enrichir la vision de la gestion de l’innovation en l’étudiant selon le prisme des pays en voie de développement, en particulier au Vietnam. Un principe central de cette approche est que, si les modèles d'innovation ne sont pas strictement identiques dans les pays en développement, l'application des théories classiques ne devrait pas être considérée comme allant de soi et, réciproquement, de nouvelles considérations pourraient émerger. Cette idée se trouve déclinée selon trois essais qui structurent notre thèse, tous développés en contexte vietnamien. Premièrement, nous menons une étude de réplication pour adapter et développer un modèle structurel classique d’innovation pour les entreprises vietnamiennes. Au cours de ce travail de réplication, nous soulignons les problèmes liés à la description et à la mesure des efforts d’innovation dans les pays en développement, qui ne pourraient pas être transposable directement à partir des travaux existants. Deuxièmement, nous proposons un développement théorique et empirique du phénomène dit de « bricolage », entendu comme le processus par lequel les entreprises innovent à partir de peu, voire de rien. Nous explorons les antécédents du bricolage à travers un ensemble d'hypothèses qui sont finalement testées. Troisièmement, nous cherchons à mettre en lumière les causes de la corruption dans les stratégies d'innovation. La corruption est en effet statistiquement associée à l’innovation, mais les spécialistes en gestion sont restés étonnamment discrets sur ce phénomène. Dans notre cas, nous développons et testons un cadre théorique mobilisant le rôle des liens sociaux afin de comprendre comment l'innovation peut effectivement conduire à des comportements de corruption. Au travers de ces trois essais, nous contribuons donc au développement de la gestion de l'innovation à partir d’une base élargie
In many respects, the strategic management of innovation seems to have accumulated through a series of layers. However, the theoretical and inferential analyses, which serve as foundations to this knowledge, have mainly been developed from the perspective of western countries. As such, this situation questions on the generalization and, perhaps even more, the completeness of the body of knowledge developed so far. In this thesis, we therefore propose to explore and enrich the vision of innovation management by adopting lenses from the developing countries, particularly in Vietnam. A central tenet in this approach is that if innovation patterns are not strictly identical in developing countries, the application of classical theories should not be taken-for-granted and, reciprocally, new considerations could emerge. This idea has been declined into three essays which structure our thesis, all of those are developed in Vietnamese context. First, we undertake a replication study to adapt and develop a structural model of innovation to Vietnamese firms. Doing so, we underscore the issues associated to description and measurement of innovation efforts in developing countries which could not be translated directly from existing works. Second, we propose a theoretical and empirical development for the so-called “bricolage” phenomenon, known as the process whereby firms innovate from little or nothing. We put forward to explore the antecedents of bricolage through a set of hypotheses which are eventually tested. Third, we shed light on the causes of bribery in innovation strategies. While bribery is statistically associated with innovation, management scholars remained surprisingly discreet on this phenomenon. In our case, we develop and test a theoretical framework involving social ties to understand how innovation can actually lead to corruption behaviours. By achieving those three essays, we therefore contribute to the development of innovation management on a wider basis

Abstract:

Background: Since 2008, more than half of the world's population now live an urban area. The consequences of this are strains on existing resources such as access to healthcare, housing and infrastructure. Therefore, access to data at the urban level is important for those involved in policy making in order to assess and address these issues. This is especially important for developing countries where resources are already limited without the added strain of urbanisation. This PhD study is nested within the EURO-URHIS 2 project, a DG Research, FP7 Programme project which is collecting data on a series of indicators deemed to be important to urban health. The first part of this PhD study investigates whether the EURO-URHIS 2 data collection tools designed for use in Europe can be replicated in Vietnam. During a preliminary fieldwork trip to Vietnam it was found that it would not be possible to obtain permission to interview policy makers or the urban population of Ho Chi Minh City within the study time frame. Therefore, the second part of this PhD study is to explore the use of existing data sources, functions and activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Vietnam. Methods: The EURO-URHIS 2 existing data survey was used to collect country and urban area level data from Vietnam. The data for the NGO study was collected using an online questionnaire hosted on a server by the University of Manchester. Results: The study found that it was possible to use the EURO-URHIS 2 existing data tool to collect a range of health indicator data at the country and urban level in Vietnam. The online study determined the role of international NGOs working in Vietnam and barriers to using existing sources of information. The study also found low levels of NGO engagement with other NGOs, policy makers, local authorities and Vietnamese government organisations. Conclusions: The successful implementation of EURO-URHIS 2 existing data survey allowed the examination of the potential health implications of urbanisation in Vietnam. The NGO study identified key areas where international NGOs in Vietnam were active, barriers to using existing sources of data and NGO relationships with other actors. The study also suggested opportunities for further NGO engagement.

Abstract:

The dissertation focuses on the Vietnamese economy and its development during the time period from the end of the World War II until present. Its objective is to map and analyze the process of integration of Vietnam into the regional and global economic structures in the aforementioned time period and identify the main challenges of current Vietnamese economic development. The issues of deficient infrastructure, energy shortage and environmental pollution can all hinder further economic development in terms of trade and investment absorption capacity. Although many other developing countries face similar problems, in Vietnam the conditions had been aggravated by more than 30 years of war, socialist planned economy, division of the territory and long lasting economic isolation all resulting in inefficiencies in use of resources, division of labor and environmental devastation. Nevertheless, Vietnam skillfully uses the newly acquired regional network within the Association of South East Asian Nations as well as the advantages of deepening relationships with the economic centers in Europe and North America to further enhance trade, attract investment and raise development aid. With its outstanding record of high economic growth and dynamic development, Vietnam has proved the ability to employ its resources and comparative advantages to the full.

Abstract:

One of the most important notions of our world is “globalization” which affects the lives of human beings in several ways. It is a concept which removes boundaries and limits; therefore, involves a global world, and consequently a global economy. Within the global economy, there are flows of goods, capital, technology and other means of production among different countries. As a result, these movements create a high competition among the different actors of the game. In order to develop themselves in this global economy, firms have to expand their businesses abroad to compete in the international arena. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the mostly used ways of internationalization which plays an important role as an engine of employment, technological development, productivity enhancement, economic intensification, and more importantly, as an instrument of technology transfer especially from developed to developing countries. Each country in which foreign companies want to invest has its own characteristics; particular opportunities and barriers from each country might arise when a foreign company starts its investment. This study analyzes the inward FDI in developing countries, by analyzing a case of a Swedish company, Ericsson, in two developing countries: Mexico and Vietnam. The cases of Ericsson in Mexico and Vietnam describe the general business environment, availability of production factors and competitiveness factors in those two countries and provide sets of data in order to build a cross-case analysis and generalize the results of this research.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the building up of technological capabilities (TC) in developing countries and the learning process for these TC in the context of Vietnam. There are 2 main sets of research questions. The first is the interaction between learning process and its main: the accumulation of TC. The second set of research questions concerns the firm's interaction with its external environment. The study examines the learning process in 24 Vietnamese firms from two industries: textile/garment and electronics. This learning process is a core activity for the creation of six technological capabilities: production, investment, minor and major technical change, linkage and marketing. The relationship between these TCs and several forms of learning (such as learning-by-doing, learning-by-training, by-searching information or foreign connections) is examined. The influences of macro-environment factors on the learning process, the reaction of the firms to these influences and their impact on learning activity are also identified. The study found that a pattern of TC accumulation has emerged, where production and minor technical change are developed more and earlier than other forms of TC. There is a relationship between certain learning mechanisms and TC: prior accumulation of experiences and foreign connections are the most important learning mechanisms for the firms. The study suggests that learning is a long and painstaking process that the firms need to go through in order to accumulate their TC. The macro-economic policies and the supporting infrastructure are the two most influential factors for learning and building up TC. In the context of Vietnam, the characteristics of both a developing country and a transitional economy seem to create particular difficulties for Vietnamese firms in learning their TC.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence and risk of childhood overweight and obesity according to socioeconomic status in Peruvian and Vietnamese school-aged children. METHODS: Longitudinal data from the Young Lives study were analyzed. Exposure was wealth index in tertiles. Outcome was overweight and obesity. Cumulative incidence per 100 children-years, relative risks (RR), and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) were calculated. A hierarchical approach, including child- and family-related variables, was followed to construct multivariable models. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of overweight and obesity was 4.8 (95 % CI 4.1-5.5) and 1.7 (95 % CI 1.3-2.2) in the younger and older Peruvian cohort, respectively; and in Vietnam 1.5 (95 % CI 1.2-1.8) and 0.3 (95 % CI 0.2-0.5), respectively. The incidence of overweight and obesity was higher at the top wealth index tertile in all samples. In the older cohorts, comparing highest versus bottom wealth index tertile, RR of overweight and obesity was four to nine times higher: 4.25 in Peru (95 % CI 2.21-8.18) and 9.11 in Vietnam (95 % CI 1.07-77.42). CONCLUSIONS: The results provide important information for childhood obesity prevention in countries moving ahead with economic, epidemiological and nutritional transitions.

Abstract:

Purpose – The aim of this study is to explore how outsourcing affects developing countries. The effects are examined for Ghana and Vietnam, which have recently become attractive outsourcing locations. They are compared with China and India, both well known for their outsourcing sectors and their attractiveness as outsourcing locations. Design/methodology/approach – In this research paper an exploratory method is applied. During the examination economic data provided by supranational organizations is used to measure the effects of outsourcing. Data is collected to match the requirements of the applied triangular model for measuring. Background for the data collection is the triangular model by Granger. Key figures for observation are Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), exports, and their correlations. Validity and reliability is ensured through cross examination of the model. Findings – The effects of outsourcing vary a lot. All key figures rose in general during the observed 30 years, from 1981 till 2010. The correlations show that there are eventual relations of the figures, although direct relations each by each year are not found. The most remarkable finding is that FDI might indeed push the exports. Export rates are rising in the years after the investment is done. The relation of FDI and GDP show that there can be interrelations as well, but if the GDP is increased in higher rates than the FDI is done. An overall result of the examination is that Vietnam seems to rely heavily on outsourcing as they export almost ¾ of the fabrications whereas it is assumed that Ghana tries more on development and improvement of the whole economy. Originality/value – This research paper looks at the often discussed phenomenon outsourcing by focussing on its economic effects by focussing on the effects for the developing countries Vietnam and Ghana. It provides the reader with new aspects to be considered in the surrounding of outsourcing. Further investigations are necessary to explore if the found can be generalised.

Title

Brand Launching and Sustaining in a Developing Country

Purpose

The project is to investigate the Brand Launching and Sustaining in a
The Case Study of Honda on Vietnam Motorcycle Market

developing country through the study on how Honda has successfully

launched and sustained its Brand on the Motorcycle Market of Vietnam.

Problems

Honda's Brand Launching campaign and the company's strategies and

initiatives to Sustain its Brand on the Motorcycle Market of Vietnam.

Methodology

The realistic approach and case study method are to be applied. The

information should be gathered through numerous sources: primary data

from the email qualitative interviews with the managers of Honda

Motorcycle Vietnam, and the email quantitative surveys among Vietnam's

Honda Motorcycle users; secondary data from the articles in a variety of

newspapers and magazines as well as websites.

Conceptual Model

The contents covered in the project are Brand Launching and Sustaining.

In particular, theories related to Brand Launching in terms of Brand

Identity and Brand Positioning, as well as Brand Sustaining with respects

to Brand Growth and Brand Maturity should be investigated and analysed.

In addition, what is of significance importance is the base of the

company's Branding Strategies -the business environment of the

destination country. Therefore, the disseration should thoroughly

investigate the Grasp of the Market including Market Assessment

(Government Policies, Demand Conditions and Market Opportunities) and

Communications (Marketing and PR Activities and Social Corporate

Responsibility) which serve as the foundation for the firm's market-based

or fully tailored Branding Strategies to the specific conditions or

characteristics of the destination nation.

Findings

Honda has adopted appropriate Branding Strategies (Brand Identity,

Positioning, Growing and Sustaining) on Vietnam Motorcycle Market.

The firm has identified its Brand as true Made-in-Japan products of high

quality and reasonable price. It serves as 'the power of dreams' created in

an ideal corporate culture and environment friendly working condition

which is committed to advanced technology and society orientation.

Honda Brand has been positioned to satisfy the needs for a transportation

means of reliability, long duration, safety, hi-tech, fuel saving and

environment protection of the middle and high class customer groups in

Vietnam. To compete with such rivals as Yamaha, Suzuki, SYM and

Piaggio, Honda has adopted proper Growing Strategies with Cub and

Scooter categories including a range of product lines. In addition, the

company has implemented appropriate Sustaining Strategies focusing on

Communication Efforts and Influencer Proximity with a variety of

Marketing and PR activities, Safety Driving Plan and Social Activities

ranging from Environmental Preservation, Educational Development,

Safety Driving Support Activities to Donation and Charity Activities.

Actually, Honda's Branding strategies have been fully tailored to the

specific market conditions of Vietnam.

Conclusion

Honda has gained the leading position on Vietnam Motorcycle Market

since 1996 when the company penetrated into the country. Honda Brand

has received great love from Vietnamese customers and become more than

a Brand, but a citizen of Vietnam who 'strives to become a company that

the society wants to exist'.

Recommendation

Honda Brand success should only be maintained when the firm is

managed to constantly strengthen Honda Brand itself as well as identify

and fix the shortcomings: keep serving as a good Vietnamese citizen, be

consistent with the company's reasonable pricing strategy, improve the

firm's customer relationships and pay more attention to the counterfeit

brand defense.

Lessons

Honda's great achievements in Vietnam offer valuable lessons for the

firms who desire to successfully brand in Vietnam in particular and

developing countries in general: Concerning Brand Launching (Brand

Identity and Positioning), the company should invest in Marketing and PR

activities, adopt Reasonable Price and Localization strategies, pay

attention to Customer Relationship, Influencer Proximity and Corporate

Social Responsibility to become a good citizen of the market country.

Regarding Brand Sustaining (Brand Growth and Maturity), the firm

should take advantages of brand extension and line extension, maintain the

Launching Strategies and simultaneously Bring Added Values and

Recreate a Perceived Difference for its brands, Actively and dynamically

involving itself in the Competition and also adopting Dual Management.

Abstract:

Landfilling is the most common treatment of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the An Giang province in south Vietnam. Many of the landfills are not sanitary and can be harmful to the environment and the residents, especially those who live within the settled distance limit of 1000 meters. There is a lack of knowledge about the people living close to landfills in the An Giang province. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate any issues about living close to landfills, by comparing health, knowledge and social issues, between people living near landfills and people in urban areas in the An Giang province. A total of 80 people was chosen in Long Xuyen and An Phu, for a questionnaire. The data was compiled and coded in Excel for further analyzation in SPSS. The results show differences in social issues, health and knowledge related to landfilling and solid waste. The experiences in the landfill areas could be taken in advantage. The study suggests using students in communication programs and workshops to increase knowledge and practice about solid waste among the citizens. To monitor landfills and the air in due to open burning of solid waste, is recommended.
Deponering är den vanligaste behandlingen av hushållsavfall i An Giang-provinsen i södra Vietnam. Många av dessa soptippar (deponier) är inte sanitära och kan vara skadliga för både miljön och invånarna som bor inom den bestämda avståndsgränsen på 1000 meter. Det finns brist på kunskap om de människor som bor nära deponier i An Giang-provinsen. Därför var syftet med studien att undersöka förekomsten av problem av att bo nära deponier i provinsen. Detta gjordes genom att jämföra hälsa, kunskap och sociala frågor mellan människor som bor intill deponier och människor i urbana områden. Totalt valdes 80 personer i Long Xuyen och An Phu till en enkätstudie. Uppgifterna sammanställdes och kodades i Excel för vidare analys i SPSS. Resultaten visade skillnader i sociala frågor, hälsa och kunskap relaterade till deponering och fast avfall. I deponiområdena fanns det mycket erfarenhet som skulle kunna utnyttjas. Studien föreslår bl.a. att använda skolungdomar i kommunikationskampanjer och workshops för att öka kunskap och praxis hos invånarna. Att övervakning och mäta deponier och luften p.g.a. öppen eldning av avfall, rekommenderas.

Abstract:

Brands have become valuable assets that play a central role in differentiating the products and services to catch the attention of the customers. This research examines the significance of branding strategies for companies’ growth and survival. For this paper, models and theories from previous researches are used to give an in-depth understanding of the different brand strategies and SMEs. The data was collected through qualitative interviews with 10 companies of which five were conducted in Kampala, Uganda and the other five were in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Although SMEs play a significant role in economic development, they are facing challenges of building brands due to the scarce resources. Financing was shown among the key prohibitions to brand establishment. The research identifies the need for SMEs to adapt branding strategies. Research findings pointed out the benefits of brand recognition in both countries. The respondents indicated that brand communication was an effective tool in creating brand recognition in SMEs. Also price, quality, innovation, and a clear vision among others are enabling factors for building strong brands.

Abstract:

La privatisation des entreprises publiques au Vietnam figure en tête des priorités de l’agenda politique du gouvernement vietnamien depuis l’annonce de la politique Doi-moi en 1987. Cette étude examine le processus de la restructuration des entreprises d’État pendant la période entre 1991 et 2012. La recherche se base sur les théories de la gestion de l’entreprise et du développement, en particulier sur la responsabilité sociale de l’État considéré comme un acteur économique. L’étude examine aussi le cadre macroéconomique vietnamien dans lequel la privatisation s’opère. L’objectif est de déterminer les facteurs conditionnels de réussite de ce processus, en prenant comme variable le degré d’intervention de l’État dans l’économie dans le contexte autant asiatique que mondial du changement
Restructuring state-owned enterprises in view of their privatization lies at the top of the political agenda of the Vietnamese Government since the launch of the Doi-Moi policy in 1987. The purpose of this study is to examine the macro-environment in which the privatization process of Vietnamese state-owned enterprises takes place. The period of study is between 1991 and 2012. The theoretical framework is based on corporate governance and development theories and the corporate social responsibility of the State, as an economic actor and a majority shareholder, of the country’s public companies which are being privatised. The aim of the study is to determine success factors of the privatization process in Vietnam, with the role of the State in the economy, taken as variable, and examined in the context of change, both at the Asian as well as the global context

Abstract:

ANTECEDENTES: El consumo de lácteos y su relación con el estado nutricional han sido poco investigados en estudios longitudinales en países en vías de desarrollo a lo largo de los años, su efecto protector sigue siendo de gran controversia hoy en día. OBJETIVO: Estimar la fuerza de asociación entre el consumo de lácteos y el estado nutricional (sobrepeso/obesidad) de los niños participantes de la cohorte mayor (2006-2013) del estudio “Niños del Milenio” en cuatro países en vías de desarrollo Etiopía, India, Perú y Vietnam. MÉTODOS: Análisis secundario de la cohorte mayor del estudio longitudinal “Young Lives”, considerando la exposición al consumo de lácteos desde la segunda hasta la cuarta ronda y el exceso de peso (sobrepeso/obesidad) en la cuarta ronda. RESULTADOS: Los análisis crudos de regresión de Poisson en la población total mostraron inicialmente asociación entre las variables de interés (RRc=2,44, IC 95%: 1,80-3,31, p<0,001), pero esta perdió significancia estadística después del análisis ajustado por sexo, edad, nivel socioeconómico, migración y consumo de frutas (RRa=1,03, IC 95%: 0,82-1,30, p>0,05). De igual forma, en los análisis realizados por país, tanto en modelo crudo como ajustado, no se evidenció asociación alguna (p>0,05). CONCLUSIÓN: No existe asociación entre el antecedente de consumo de lácteos en la niñez y el sobrepeso/obesidad en la adolescencia, en la población de la cohorte mayor del estudio “Niños del Milenio” (2006-2013) de los países participantes del estudio.
BACKGROUND: Dairy consumption and its relationship with nutritional status (overweight/obesity) have been little investigated in longitudinal researches in developing countries throughout the years and its protective effect is still highly controversial today. OBJECTIVE: Estimate the strength of association between dairy products consumption and nutritional status (overweight/obesity) of the participating children from the older cohort (2006-2013) of the “Young Lives” research in four developing countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam). METHODS: Secondary analysis of the older cohort from the “Youngs Lives” longitudinal research, considering the exposure to dairy consumption since the second to the fourth round, and the weight excess (overweight/obesity) in the fourth round. RESULTS: Crude analyzes of Poisson regression in total population initially showed association between interest variables (RRc=2,44, IC 95%: 1,80-3,31, p<0,001), but it lost statistical significance after the analysis adjusted by sex, age, socioeconomic level, migration and fruit consumption (RRa=1,03, IC 95%: 0,82-1,30, p>0,05). Similarly, in the analyzes carried out by country, both in the crude and adjusted models, no association was evidenced (p> 0,05). CONCLUSIONS: There is no association between the history of dairy consumption in childhood and overweight/obesity in adolescence, in the population from the older cohort of "Young Lives" study (2006-2013) of the participating countries.

Abstract:

Les contestations normatives relatives à la nature des transferts financiers Nord-Sud visant l’adaptation au changement climatique et à ses relations avec l’aide publique au développement (APD) se sont considérablement accentuées depuis 2009 lorsque les pays développés se sont conjointement engagés à fournir des ressources «nouvelles et supplémentaires » à hauteur de 30 milliards de dollars pour la période 2010-2012 et à mobiliser collectivement 100 milliards de dollars par an d’ici à 2020, en les répartissant de manière « équilibrée » entre l’atténuation et l’adaptation dans les pays en développement. Mouvements de solidarité internationale, organisations non gouvernementales de protection de l’environnement, représentants des pays en développement, et parfois institutions multilatérales de développement :nombreux sont les acteurs qui appellent à la mise en place d’un financement international de l’adaptation qui existerait séparément de l’aide, en représentant une forme de « compensation » liée à la responsabilité disproportionnée des pays développés dans l’occurrence du changement climatique.

Notre thèse se construit à partir d’un constat :celui de la déconnexion entre une hypothèse largement répandue dans la littérature académique (i.e. l’existence d’un financement international de l’adaptation qui serait distinct de l’APD – et original sous divers aspects) et la réalité observable (i.e. l’existence d’un tel financement ne se vérifie pas dans les faits). Comment expliquer cette déconnexion ?Telle est précisément la question que nous tentons d’élucider dans le présent document. Nous formulons l’hypothèse selon laquelle les discours opposant le financement international de l’adaptation et l’aide au développement sont le produit d’une vision particulière de ce que devrait être l’APD. L’ambition de notre recherche est dès lors de caractériser cette vision normative de l’aide et d’examiner ses manifestations dans une série de débats récurrents qui traversent la question du financement international de l’adaptation. Nous mettons en évidence le fait que ces discours renouvellent une vision de l’aide entre États souverains destinée à répondre aux injustices internationales et à alimenter un transfert de ressources régulier entre pays riches et pays pauvres.

Abstract:

The research stream on interpartner learning in international strategic alliances has evolved in recent years. Although several research problems have been addressed, there remain gaps in the literature about the facilitators and outcomes of knowledge acquisition in international joint ventures. To bridge these gaps, this research has two main objectives. Firstly, it identifies various antecedents and tests their effects on the acquisition of marketing know-how by the local partner from the foreign partner. Secondly, it investigates how the acquired marketing know-how impacts on the learning outcomes in an IJV.The findings of this study show the effects of eight antecedents on the acquisition of tacit and explicit forms of marketing know-how. Research gaps have been bridged by this study in several ways. The thesis has also answered the call for empirical studies to provide statistical evidence with respect to inter-organizational learning in the international arena. It contributes new measurement scales as well as suggests effective ways of acquiring marketing knowledge from foreign partners in IJV.

Abstract:

Water and sanitation are two of the world's most urgent current challenges (Elimelech, 2006). With a population racing towards seven billion people, over one sixth of the human population does not have access to adequate water and sanitation. Drinking water is inaccessible for approximately 783 million people living in the developing world (WHO, 2014). This is especially critical for people at risk of exposure to deadly pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, and Salmonella, such as those living in Haiti as Vibrio cholerae is now ubiquitous (Enserink, 2010). On the sanitation side, more than 2.5 billion people in the world still lack access to adequate resources (WHO, 2014). Almost half of these people have access to no sanitation facilities at all and practice open defecation (WHO, 2014). Thousands of small children still die every day from preventable diseases caused by inadequate sanitation (WHO, 2014). As global climate change is expected to exacerbate these issues, there is an urgent need for the development of sustainable treatment technologies to ensure a better tomorrow for our world (Ford, 1999). Safe water and sanitation technologies, while often disjointed, should be considered together as pathogens transmitted via drinking water are predominantly of fecal origin (Ashbolt, 2004; Montgomery, 2007).

In this dissertation project, I explore the use of both drinking water and wastewater treatment technologies which are cost effective and rely on locally available materials in low-income countries. For the drinking water treatment side, I focus on the use of biosand filters in Haiti with a specific interest in understanding their ability to remove the pathogen Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent for cholera. The wastewater treatment technology consists of biofilters packed with cocopeat, a waste product generated during coconut husk processing, and I investigate their use for the treatment of septic tank effluent in Vietnam. Both of these projects combine lab and field work. The specific objectives of this dissertation project are to 1) compare the removal efficiency of V. cholerae to indicator bacteria in field biosand filters and determine the parameters controlling removal; 2) investigate the correlation between removal efficiency of pathogens in field biosand filters having operated for varying lengths of time to schmutzdecke bacterial composition and influent water characteristics; 3) determine the effect of number of charges, total organic carbon loading, and schmutzdecke composition on V. cholerae removal efficacy; 4) isolate the effect of biological removal mechanisms and physical/chemical removal mechanisms on V. cholerae removal efficiency and determine the correlation to TOC concentration in water; 5) evaluate cocopeat as a packing medium for biofilters in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus and biological oxygen demand removal from simulated wastewater as compared to other traditional packing media; and 6) conduct an assessment of cocopeat-packed, vertical flow constructed wetlands treating septic tank effluent in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.

In the first part of this dissertation, biosand filters in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti, the epicenter of the cholera epidemic, were tested for total coliform and V. cholerae removal efficiencies. In addition, schmutzdecke samples were collected in order to measure the amount of EPS in the biofilm, as well as characterize the microbial community. Total coliform and V. cholerae concentration were measured using novel membrane filtration technique methods. It was found that total coliform concentration does not indicate V. cholerae concentration in water, and total coliform removal efficiency does not indicate V. cholerae removal efficiency within biosand filters. Additionally, parameters controlling biosand filter performance include: schmutzdecke composition, time in operation, and idle time.

In the second part of this dissertation, V. cholerae challenge tests were performed on laboratory-operated biosand filters receiving high, medium or low TOC influents in order to determine the effect of number of charges, total organic carbon loading, and schmutzdecke composition on V. cholerae removal efficacy, as well as to isolate the effect of biological removal mechanisms and physical/chemical removal mechanisms on V. cholerae removal efficiency and determine the correlation to TOC concentration in water. To this end, three biosand filters were operated in the lab. Each received lake water or diluted lake water with high, medium or low concentrations of TOC. After being charged once per day for 6 days, the filters were charged with four consecutive charges of pure cultures of V. cholerae suspended in PBS buffer, at concentrations of 102, 103, 105, and 107 cfu/mL. This challenge was repeated each time the filters received an additional 6 charges, up to 66 total charges. This was done to determine how number of charges, TOC loading, and schmutzdecke composition affects removal efficiency. Schmutzdecke was analyzed for amount of EPS and microbial community. It was found that parameters controlling biosand filter performance include: TOC loading, schmutzdecke composition, time in operation, and physical/chemical attachment. Additionally, it was shown that physical/chemical attachment is critical during startup, especially at low TOC concentrations. At steady state, physical/chemical attachment is more important than schmutzdecke effects in filters receiving low TOC, and schmutzdecke effect is more important than physical/chemical attachment in filters receiving high TOC.

For the third section of this dissertation, columns packed with cocopeat, celite, or sphagnum peat were charged with simulated wastewater and removal efficiencies of nitrogen, phosphorus, and biological oxygen demand were measured. Additionally, different redox zones were tested to determine if cocopeat could successfully accomplish nitrification and denitrification. It was found that cocopeat is comparable to traditional packing media and can successfully accomplish nitrification and denitrification in the treatment of synthetic wastewater.

In the final section of this dissertation, constructed wetlands were built and packed with cocopeat to determine if cocopeat is a suitable packing media in constructed wetlands treating wastewater in Vietnam. Removal efficiencies of nitrogen, phosphorus, and biological demand were measured. Microbial community samples were collected periodically in order to analyze community shifts between wetlands and over time. This work concluded that cocopeat can be used successfully as a packing media in constructed wetlands treating wastewater for the removal of nitrogen, phosphorus, and total coliform.

Overall, this dissertation work contributes to the body of knowledge on point-of-use water and wastewater technologies. The biosand filter was studied in both lab and field conditions and it was found that total coliform is not a reliable indicator for V. cholerae, and that there are several factors controlling biosand filter performance, including idle time, TOC, filter time in operation, physical/chemical attachment, and schmutzdecke composition. Cocopeat was studied for its ability to promote nitrification and denitrification in lab-scale vertical flow columns treating synthetic wastewater. It was shown that cocopeat achieved similar levels of nitrification and denitrification as traditional packing media. Finally, cocopeat packed vertical flow constructed wetlands were operated in Vietnam for the treatment of septic tank effluent. This setup proved effective for the removal of nitrogen, phosphorus, and total coliform in the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract:

abstract: The Vietnam Construction Industry (VCI) has been facing risks that cause delays, budget overrun, and low customer satisfaction that required continuously research efforts to manage them. This research assesses the current conditions of the VCI in terms of performance, common risks, and success factors; and explores the potential of using the Best Value Approach (BVA), an innovative procurement and project management technology, to improve overall VCI performance. VCI risk factors were presented in an analysis of the data collected from a survey that include the 23 common risk factors that cause non-performance in construction projects in developing countries. The factors were consolidated from an extensive literature reviews, and inputs were solicited from 103 construction practitioners in Vietnam. The study reveals the top five risk factors as the bureaucratic administrative system, financial difficulties of owner, slow payment of completed works, poor contractor performance, financial difficulties of contractor. Factor analysis explored the correlations among the risks and yielded four outcomes – Lack of Site and Legal Information, Lack of Capable Managers, Poor Deliverables Quality, and Owner’s Financial Incapability. VCI success factors were revealed from a survey that is adopted from 23 Critical Success Factors (CSFs) related to common construction risks, found through extensive literature reviews, and inputs were solicited from 101 VCI participants. The experts ranked those CSFs with respect to impact to project success. The study reveals the top impactful CSFs such as all project parties clearly understand their responsibilities, more serious consideration during contractor selection stage, test contractors’ experience and competency through successful projects in the past. Factor analysis was conducted to explore the principal success factor groupings and yielded four outcomes – Improving Management Capability, Adequate Pre-Planning, Stakeholders’ Management, and Performance-based Procurement. An analysis from six industry experts determined how current VCI conditions, namely risk and success factors, are related to BVA. Sixteen BVA success principles were identified and ranked based on their perceived impact to project performance by an industry survey with 98 VCI practitioners. The results show high agreement rate with all sixteen BVA principles. The majority of participants agreed that BVA would improve project performance and were interested in learning more about BVA. The results encourage further BVA testing and education in the VCI.

Abstract:

In developing countries, land management, government intervention in peri-urban land, and the striking decline of agricultural land have all affected farmers’ livelihoods and the capacity of locally supplied food for ever-growing cities. A growing body of literature has focused on the exploration of these issues in rural areas, which are believed to be the backbone of the national agriculture economy, and in peri-urban areas of large cities, which have experienced extreme changes during recent decades. But the issues are also relevant to peri-urban mid-sized cities where urbanization is in a different phase compared to the above areas. This study examines the main changes underway in the agrarian transition of peri-urban areas of Vinh city, a mid-sized city in the North Central Coast region of Vietnam. Vinh was chosen given its unique position in transforming from a mid-sized to a large city. This study explores the dynamics of agricultural production, and the role of the Vinh government in mediating urbanization and its impacts on farmers’ livelihoods. In order to attain the objectives, interviews with local leaders, and a survey with farmers were conducted, and a GIS database was also developed. The findings regarding agricultural production in the case study demonstrate that this mid-sized city, in the early phase of development, manifests itself as a duplicate of larger cities, escalating the threat of food accessibility from local sources. Duplication is in the sense that the peri-urban population in Vinh still depends largely on agriculture with a shift to commercial agriculture with higher value products despite the shrinkage of agricultural land. Agricultural production primarily uses manual family labor, and traditional products are substantially subsistent. Compared to larger cities, post-production activities (including processing, packaging, marketing, and delivery) and the organization of the agrofood supply chain in Vinh are underdeveloped due to minimum support from local and outside agencies. The case study confirms that as general trend in developing countries, Vietnam’s land policies favor the expropriation of agricultural land for industrialization and modernization. The findings also demonstrate the heterogeneity of land administration in Vietnam, structured from the ‘bottom-up’ mechanism, through which Vinh’s local authorities have the prerogative to not issue land use right certificates of agricultural land despite the national policy. This has occurred in order to control land markets to satisfy the city’s goal of transforming to an independent municipality. The situation is perpetuated by the absence of agricultural land legislations in a peri-urban context while contemporary legislation has been developed to address the rural areas because of their importance in the national agriculture economy. This is an issue for land management in Vietnam as well as in other developing countries. Finally, the findings on land expropriation in the peri-urban areas of Vinh city also confirm that direct government intervention through land expropriation in developing countries, with low compensation and lack of alternative vocational training, undermines farmers’ livelihoods and threatens the local food supply.

Nowadays, brand name plays a vital role in running business of majority companies in globally. It becomes more important for the company in developing countries in which lack of information and skill to establish an international brand name, especially in Vietnam – a developing country in Southeast of Asia. The purpose of my study is analyzing the worth of branding with enterprises; as many business executives now recognize that one of the most valuable of a firm’s assets are the brands that they have invested in and developed over time. Accordingly, my paper hope that Vietnam National Tea Corporation understands more the value of brand and we go to find out the situation and solution in branding process of Vinatea of Vietnam National Tea Corporation. Moreover, my research will indicate some orientation in branding strategies for Vietnam Tea Corporation, from these points to stability build of Vinatea and their long-term development strategy. In order to reach the purpose of my study, I have used the case study to analyze the impact of brand strategy on corporation’s business and profit as a whole. The study is conducted by a case- study in Vietnam National Tea Corporation, the Corporation located in Vietnam.
