Frog value chain case study in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
No full textFrog is valuable product in Vietnam but the natural frogs are overexploited thus, the new model to raising frog is desired. Many species of frogs are cultured in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, for trial of the adaptive ability of exotic species in Vietnam condition. Recently, the frogs’ species from Thailand and Taiwan are prepotent and spread out Vietnam. Nowadays, frog culture becomes one of the newest industries in Vietnam. With a short life cycle, frog culture is farming as economic efficiency for farmers to get return. However, being a new industry, it is quite hard to manage the supply chain of frog. Developed from 2000, this industry production has been growing up and down many times due to the spontaneous development of farmers. Recently, frog farming has new potential horizon to progress firmly. There are new potential partners from US, EU, Taiwan, etc cooperating with Vietnamese farmers for lasting cooperation. This study tries to apply the theory of value chain to analyse the activities of participants along the linkages of frog farming around Ho Chi Minh City. Moreover, the fluctuation of the final price of this product is the biggest problem of farmers. There are many farmers who have to quit this industry because of the fall of price. Of course, the output price is impacted by many internal and external factors thus I want to point out the causers of the inordinary change of price and suggest solution for that.
Supply chain of frog in Ho Chi Minh City is made up by four main actors: The hatcheries, the frog farmers, the whole salers and the retailers. Most of frog farmers are small scale and they raise frog with other aquatic products. Besides, the supporters such as medication, feed suppliers, and processing factories also adhere this chain and build up the added value for the final products of frogs. However, frog processing is not developed in Vietnam thus the export volume of this product is limited. Most of frogs are supplied directly to the market for consumers.
This study has represented the map of frog value chain in HCMC, analyzed the cost and benefit of frog based on the data of farmers’ budget and the transmission prices along the chain.
The superprofit and low cost of frog culture attract many farmers join in frog industry but the risk of unstable price let them give up quickly. Hatchery farm achieves more than 100% profit from selling juvenile for farmers. The farmers can obtain a profit of 0% to 250% per kg of frog. The net profit of wholesaler and retailers are more stable. About 11% of the frog value is added by the wholesalers and17% value is added by retailers.
This study is conducted mostly in Son Ca Farm, Hoc Mon Distreet. Data is collected from many sources, most of them are primary data surveyed by questionares

The impact of socially responsible human resource management on the organizational citizenship behavior of employees in universities in Ho Chi Minh City
No full textThis study aims to examine the influence of socially responsible human resource management on employees’ organizational citizenship behavior in universities in Ho Chi Minh City, using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The official quantitative research was conducted with a substantial sample size (n = 422) comprising staff members and lecturers at institutions in Ho Chi Minh City, encompassing all relevant content, scope, and subjects. The gathered data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement and structural models and to test the proposed hypotheses. The study’s findings demonstrate that socially responsible human resource management, involving three factors such as legal compliance, employee orientation, and organizational support, has a positive impact on organizational citizenship behavior among personnel in Ho Chi Minh City universities using the mediator element of organizational identification. This research uses two theoretical frameworks: social identity theory, which explains how employees’ alignment with organizational values influences OCB, and social exchange theory, which emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between employees and organizations and motivates OCB through perceived benefits. This study’s findings can benefit state management of education and training in general and higher education in particular by offering ideas to improve human resource management in universities, thereby creating favorable conditions for the development of Vietnam’s education sector

Microplastics in wastewater and sludge from centralized industrial wastewater treatment plants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
No full textInternational audienceMicroplastic pollution is a growing concern, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) acting as both barriers and sources. This study quantified microplastics in two centralized industrial WWTPs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Microplastic concentrations ranged from 0.3 to 40.4 items L-1 in wastewater and 29.6-92.0 items g-1 dry weight in sludge, predominantly fibres. Despite high removal efficiencies, 1.7 × 106 microplastics were discharged daily. Potential risks from sludge were also discussed. Robust multivariate regression analysis of 43 WWTPs worldwide underscored the influent concentrations as the strongest predictor influencing effluent concentrations and offering insights into potential evidence-based strategies aligned with Vietnam's 2030 plastic reduction goals
The impact of online micro-influencers on behavioural intentions: The case of mobile phone customers in Ho Chi Minh City
No full textThe advances of the Internet and social media offer customers nowadays more opportunities to inform their decisions with product information - not only that promoted by the company but also content shared by micro-influencers. This study aims to investigate the impact of online micro-influencers on the customer’s behavioural intentions. A survey was conducted using convenience sampling with customers in Ho Chi Minh City who have bought or intended to buy smartphones upon viewing online product reviews. Data, upon having been collected and screened, included 371 usable responses and were analysed using PLS-SEM. Results show that the customer’s perceptions of opinion leadership of micro-influencers and their parasocial interactions with micro-influencers positively influence the customer’s behavioural intentions (intention to follow the advice and intention to recommend) through message quality. Managerial implications are also discussed in the paper
