New forms of ownership and human resource practices in Vietnam
通过32家越南企业的案例研究，探讨了从计划经济向市场经济转型过程中，不同所有权形式如何影响企业的人力资源管理实践，发现实践多样但某些类型企业有特定趋势。
Abstract In 1986, the government of Vietnam commenced the move from a centrally planned system to a market‐oriented economy with a multisectoral economic structure and a multiownership system.This process, known as Doi Moi, has had a major effect on the economic and social fabric of Vietnam. Although the body of research on this topic has grown, few studies have explored the effect of these economic changes on the internal operations of enterprises. In particular, little is known about the relationship between these new forms of ownership and how enterprises structure their human resource management. This article seeks to explore this relationship through detailed case studies of 32 enterprises covering the range of ownership types.The findings reveal a diversity of human resource management practices, but certain practices are now more prevalent in particular types of enterprises; human resource management remains the overall exception. The article concludes by considering the theoretical and practical implications of these results for economies undergoing transition. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
