Globe Project - Vietnam
Organizational Behavior. Two-page paper. Project GLOBE. Vietnam.

In my opinion, Vietnam is low in Assertiveness, in Future orientation, in Individualism and in Performance orientation; high in Gender differentiation, in Power distance and Humane orientation; and moderate in Uncertain avoidance and In-group collectivism according to the dimensions of the Project GLOBE.

I think Vietnam is low in Assertiveness given the degree to which individuals are assertive, dominant and demanding in their relationships with others. Many Vietnamese people find it difficult to formulate and communicate their own thoughts, opinions and wishes in a clear, direct, and non-aggressive way. As a result, the lack of assertiveness or weak communication skills may be keeping them from fulfilling their potential and reaching their goals. To some extent, the society does not encourage people to be generally dominant. For example, most of civil servants normally dare not behave/speak straightforwardly to their supervisors/managers regarding comments on their Managers' management or recommendations/suggestions to reform the procedures, etc. resulting in low effectiveness of the prevailing administrative system.

I think Vietnam is low in Future orientation because the society has limited long-term orientation despite some efforts to encourage and reward future-oriented behaviors such as delaying gratification, planning and investing in the future. More people tend to live for the present than for the future. For example, there haven't been any directions for undergraduates to equip themselves with knowledge/skills to prepare for jobs that suit their ability resulting in abundant graduates who cannot find a job and lack of skillful workers in the labor market.

I think Vietnam is high in Gender differentiation because of gender role differences. The society has tried but hasn't been able to minimize gender inequality. For example, it is stipulated that women must retire from

    Humbleness In Vietnam

    From these passages we can infer the people of Vietnam were very proud and fair warriors. Some examples of this is that they were exceedingly patriotic, would fiercely fight for their independence, and that they were very humble. For example, we know they are very patriotic because when in battle, if they knew that they would lose, they would commit suicide because they would rather die than fail their country. Furthermore we know they would fight to the end for their independence because when fighting the French they were overpowered by hundreds, but still fought fearlessly and defeated the French in the end. Finally we can infer their humbleness because of their reaction when defeating the Chinese when they invaded Vietnam. Instead of forcing…

    First of all, to define the economic performance of Vietnam, I will use GDP or gross domestic product as a basic to evaluate its effectiveness. According to a research of World Bank (2012), Vietnam was ranked 42nd over 178 countries with GDP (PPP) of $320.879 billion. Meanwhile, according to IMF (2012), Vietnam was ranked 51st over 178 with nominal GDP of $141.463 billion. These statistics already show a briefly look about the economic performance of Vietnam, in which can tell that, Vietnam still has a long way to achieve its ambition of becoming a strongly developed country. However, its accomplishment is remarkable.…

    Studying the prior history of Vietnam is important because we learn that Vietnam was completely under French rule by 1893 (Week One Lecture, 2013). Why was Vietnam such a prized possession to have? Vietnam’s location was significant within itself; Vietnam had “a strategic location astride major shipping lanes linking India, China, Japan, and the islands of Southeast Asia” and served as a source of foodstuffs and raw materials (Moss, 2010, p.2). We must put ourselves in the shoes of the Vietnamese people during this time and view these events from their point-of-view also. There were territorial wars including France, Japan, and eventually the United States which all treated Vietnam and the Vietnamese people as nothing more than property that they wanted to gain and maintain control of. No respect or value of their culture was held by any of these countries, which served as another reason that Vietnam sought national identity and independence. Studying the context of the prior history of Vietnam and what the participants of this history valued helps understand the elements that led to the independence of Vietnam. All of the information needed to understand the decisions made and the actions taken by the Vietnamese people to fight for their independence is gained through studying the context of their prior history.…

    The key events that British officials used to create a “master narrative” consists of three events that contributed to the propaganda regime. The series of events were the barbaric acts committed by the German troops during the invasion of Belgium in 1914, The execution of the nurse Edith Cavell, and the sinking of the Lusitania where 1,200 civilians perished. Jo Fox also explains how the use of barbaric weaponry contributed to the effective use of the propaganda. British officials used these events to effectively distribute the propaganda to their population.…

    The emphasis on firepower and attrition emanated from an organizational structure strongly predisposed to conventional war-fighting approaches. Yet it proved both ineffectual and counterproductive given the unconventional nature of the Vietnam War. The U.S.’s bombing campaigns to try and gain control seemed to back fire as not only were the bombs inaccurate, the North Vietnamese Army continually rebuilt in the bomb’s wake and were undeterred. Our ground troops, who entered the country in 1965, were in unfamiliar territory. They didn’t understand the culture or the Vietnamese language of those they were trying to help and all too often they didn’t understand the reasons they were there risking their lives for a people who didn’t seem want them there in the first…

    They have some traditional home cultures but more assimilate to the new culture. Their life style is mixed with old culture and new culture. The process of assimilation may conflict for them because they need to readjust, redefine, and reform their identities in the new culture.
