This paper explores the relationship between lecturers' digital competence and the learning value of students in higher education. By conducting an empirical study with a sample of 626 lecturers, we validated the positive impact of the six dimensions of digital competence outlined in the DigCompEdu framework, including: (i) Professional engagement, (ii) Digital resources, (iii) Teaching and learning, (iv) Assessment, (v) Empowering learners, and (vi) Facilitating learners' digital competence on the student learning value. Our findings underscore the profound significance of these dimensions in shaping students' learning experiences and outcomes, particularly within the dynamic context of Industry 4.0. Based on these findings, we propose recommendations to enhance lecturers' digital competence, targeting not only the lecturers themselves but also university administrations and governmental agencies responsible for educational oversight.
The study aims to assess the impact of organizational culture on employee performance in foreign-invested logistics service enterprises from the sustainability perspective. We developed a theoretical framework on organizational culture and explored the factors shaping organizational culture, from which three research hypotheses are proposed. Based on a research sample of 162 foreign-invested logistics service enterprises, the multiple linear regression results indicate that 5 factors of organizational culture positively impact employee performance, including employees’ beliefs, corporate focus of human life, leadership style and authority division, corporate values, relationship with business environment. Based on these findings, we proposed recommendations for improving employee performance in foreign-invested logistics service enterprises from a sustainability perspective.

This study investigates the effects of public, private, and foreign direct investment (FDI) on provincial economic growth in transitional economies, using panel data from 63 Vietnamese provinces over the period 2010-2022, comprising 819 yearly observations. The findings indicate that public investment and FDI positively influence economic growth, while private investment shows no statistically significant impact. These results highlight the importance of prioritizing infrastructure development through public investment to enhance regional connectivity and reduce disparities. Addressing structural barriers that hinder private investment, such as inconsistent legal frameworks and restricted credit access, requires policy reforms to enhance its effectiveness. The positive role of FDI underscores the need for a stable investment environment to facilitate technology transfer, innovation, and capacity building. These insights provide valuable guidance for optimizing investment strategies in transitional economies.

Based on a sample of 308 enterprises, this paper studies the determinants of export organic supply chain performance. The results indicate seven positive determinants that influence positively the supply chain performance, including: (i) need-satisfying ability (NSA), (ii) relationship management, (iii) information management, (iv) quality management, (v) coordination and cooperation mechanisms, (vi) operation management, and (vii) marketing strategy of the export organic supply chain. In contrast, the differentiated segmentation strategy and cost strategy have no impact on the export organic supply chain performance.

This article uses a gravity model framework to examine the impact of green logistics on Vietnam's exports to countries participating in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The study uses a generalized least squares (GLS) estimation method based on panel data for the period 2010-2018 and has reliable sources. The results of empirical research have found the following main findings: (i) Logistics performance, encompassing cost, reliability, and time-related factors, significantly and positively influence Vietnam's exports; (ii) The interaction effects between supply chain input components (customs, infrastructure, and services) and CO2 emissions from the transportation sector have a positive impact on Vietnam's exports; (iii) The supply chain input components demonstrate direct and positive effects on exports when implemented in conjunction with their interaction effects with CO2 emissions from the transportation sector; (iv) The emissions of CO2 from Vietnam's transportation sector exert a negative influence on exports; (v) Adopting a green logistics approach that focuses on reducing CO2 emissions from the transportation sector demonstrates a positive influence on Vietnam's exports. This influence is observed through direct and moderating effects, indicating the potential for sustainable practices to foster export growth. These research findings provide valuable insights for managers and policymakers in the formulation of informed decisions related to the development and promotion of green logistics. By embracing sustainable practices and aligning export growth with environmental goals, Vietnam can enhance its competitiveness while contributing to a greener future.
The logistics industry has been as a significant contributor to carbon emissions. Within Vietnam’s logistics sector, there is a notable contrast in terms of the quantity of foreign and Vietnamese companies and their respective market shares. This article used a structured survey and descriptive analysis to investigate the low-carbon-emission measures employed by domestic and foreign-invested logistics service providers (LSPs), comparing the results of these two groups, and in-depth interviews were applied for further discussion. The relevant literature was reviewed and expert insights were used to develop a comprehensive questionnaire, resulting in 166 completed responses, of which 159 were suitable for data analysis. The findings reveal variations in the degree to which low-carbon practices are adopted by foreign and domestic firms. In addition to changes in transport modes and the use of energy-saving lighting, the adoption levels of other low-carbon practices show that foreign LSPs exhibit higher engagement compared to their domestic counterparts. This can be attributed to their extensive global operations, greater access to capital resources, and a greater awareness of the importance of green initiatives in developed countries. In conclusion, this study conducts a comparative analysis between foreign-invested and domestic firms, which has not been previously investigated.
