“…There are rare occasions on which more than one solution is allowed to stay for the same purpose, e.g., different provinces may use different systems. In addition, the culture of the Vietnamese people being notoriously very poor on collaboration and teamwork was influential (Nguyen & Johanson, 2007). The concept of collaboration or buying an existing software solution was almost nonexisting.…”

Designing and implementing health information systems (HISs) in developing‐country settings is challenging. Many HISs do not go beyond the pilot stage and tend to vanish when external funding is over. In other cases, multiple fragmented HISs remain, but these are unable to talk to each other. And more often than not, data collected by HISs are not used in decision making. To better understand and address these problems, this article employs an information infrastructure (II) perspective and views HISs as parts of larger and complex social‐technical networks. This article contributes to the current knowledge with a set of rich empirical descriptions of the design and implementation of HISs in Vietnam. Theoretically, it contributes to II discussions in the information systems domain by presenting four design problems and suggesting five design principles and 15 design rules to meet them. These design principles and rules also offer practical guidance for managers and designers involved in the design and implementation of HISs in developing countries.

“…We should perfect the legal system, ensure its strictness on intellectual property, preserve and promote the value of the tangible and intangible culture of the Vietnamese nation. We should combine cultural and artistic development, conservation, and promotion of cultural heritage with tourism development and external activities in order to widely disseminate cultural values to the public, especially the young generation, foreigners [36]. We should formulate and implement policies to preserve and promote the cultural, linguistic, and written values of ethnic minorities [35].…”

National cultural identity is a system of traditional values, aesthetics, and lifestyle of a nation, which forms typical, progressive, and distinctive features. Cultural identity helps us to understand different cultures among ethnic groups. The national cultural identity represents the vitality, creativity, and development of the nation. The nation's culture is the foundation of society, the goal, and the driving force for economic and social development. However, it has not yet received due attention in education in Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to find out students' perceptions and evaluations of the importance of education on national cultural identity. A questionnaire survey was distributed to 247 students at An Giang University. Through descriptive statistical analysis with SPSS, the research results show that the majority of students have a rather high opinion of the need to educate the national cultural identity; The proposed content and form of education on national cultural identity has a rather high average value. However, the contents, forms, and methods of educating national cultural identity have not been clearly defined and are still limited. The findings of this study have theoretical and practical implications for Vietnamese higher education. Proposals presented to university administrators and educational policymakers were discussed. Research results are also the basis for conducting further studies on culture. Traditional culture is distilled and transmitted so that the process of integration and globalization contributes to the creation of civilization, an opportunity for each country and nation to enrich their culture.

The aim of this paper is to develop an exploratory model for the relevant factors related to the professional performance of the Brazilian CIO (Chief Information Officer). For this purpose, exploratory research was carried out using a quantitative approach. Six theoretical frameworks found in the academic literature on this issue were taken into account, which led to the development of indicators associated with the CIO's professional performance. A questionnaire was then applied via a web survey, from which answers from 111 Brazilian CIOs were collected. Thereafter, exploratory factor analysis was conducted in order to obtain a consolidated model. From this analysis, seven factors were considered relevant to the professional performance of the Brazilian CIO, namely knowledge of the business; systemic view of the organization; ability to influence the organization; technical expertise; external networking; management of information technology (IT) operation; and capacity to innovate using new information technologies. The conclusion reached is that the Brazilian CIO's skills do not differ very much from those found in CIOs in developed countries. However, some exceptions are analyzed. Lastly, the managerial and academic implications accrued from this work are set forth and the research limitations are identified, as well as further steps to be taken regarding this research stream.
