    Corporate social responsibility among service sector SMEs in Vietnam: exploring the influence of national context
    (Springer Nature B V, 2025-04-28) Nguyen M; Khan M; Bensemann J; Sulaiman R
    This study explores how the national context influences corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam’s service sector. Drawing on a multiple case study approach, our study involves 21 in-depth interviews with 17 owner-managers from 13 SMEs. On the one hand, our finding suggest that CSR convergence is primarily driven by three institutional factors: religious and spiritual beliefs, political governance, and socio-economic development. CSR divergence, on the other hand, originates from the interplay between national contextual factors and the organizational environments in which SMEs function, examined through the framework of institutional entrepreneurship. By addressing gaps in previous research—particularly the overlooked role of contextual dynamics in CSR differences among SMEs—this study enhances our understanding by demonstrating how isomorphic pressures and relational mechanisms work together. The study recommends that the government should develop national CSR guidelines and standards, improve monitoring systems, and streamline regulations and standards into a format that is comprehensible to local owner-managers.

    Becoming and being language teacher educators: a collaborative reflexive account
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2024-11-14) Nguyen M; Qi GY
    In this study we employed reflexivity as a typology and a means to foster our own becoming and being as language teacher educators (LTEs). Specifically, drawing on reflexivity as mutual collaboration, we engaged in duoethnography where we were researcher-participants in each other’s narratives, with the capacity to be reflexive beings. We collaboratively inquired into our own and one another’s professional trajectories, demonstrating how our journeys of becoming and being LTEs were characterised by our social and linguistic identities, our work and interaction with language teachers, and the research and teaching praxis. Findings and discussion advocate a dialogue in the field, acknowledging the dispositions, challenges, and possibilities that reflexivity can offer for LTEs’ trajectories.

    Corporate Social Responsibility in Vietnam: Systematic review of research and future directions.
    (Emerald, 2/08/2021) Nguyen M; Khan M; Bensemann J
    While research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is reaching new territories, the extent to which such literature manifests itself in developing countries is yet to be fully understood. To that end, this study investigates the understanding, evolution, and practice of CSR in Vietnam. A systematic review of the current literature in the recent past (2000-2020) has been embraced in this research. By analysing a total of 143 articles, we demonstrate that there has been visible growth in published articles related to CSR in Vietnam over the last 21 years. We demonstrate that CSR research in Vietnam has significantly grown in the recent past. Our results highlight the in-depth distribution of publications by year, journal, industry, nature, and focus of CSR research in the country. This study is not only the first to provide an enhanced overview of the current state of CSR knowledge in the country but also sets out directions within the CSR research agenda related to Vietnam and potentially other emerging and developing countries.
