“…The findings have important implications from a policy perspective, including that efforts to enhance SMEs’ export market participation have important sustainable industrial development implications. For example, the Vietnamese National Assembly passed a 2017 law supporting SMEs’ competitiveness through internationalization (Co et al ., 2018). Such laws could have both an economy-wide effect and an environmental sustainability effect, considering that the likely changes in SMEs’ environmental actions from export market participation could be an essential driving factor for long-term sustainability.…”

The outcome of environmental actions from participation in the export market are examined by unpacking some mechanisms that explain the estimated relationship. The empirical strategy utilizes the variation in the distance between the location of the sampled enterprises and the top 25 destinations of Vietnamese exports across sectors, and the weight of each sampled export to total exports in each period, to obtain exogenous variation in the enterprise's export market participation. The result shows a positive relationship between the enterprise's export participation and its overall engagement in environmental actions (such as the sum of its environmental actions, the sum of actions in the investments in equipment towards environmental issues, and total expenditure for the purchase of equipment for environmental actions). Possible mechanisms are international standardization, national certification, and strong enforcement of environmental regulations from export market engagement.

“…The main reason to select the beginning year of 2007 is the highlighted point of Vietnam joining the WTO. According to Baccini et al (2019), Co et al (2018) and Vu (2016), the year of 2007 is the unique step of Vietnam in the way of globalization and economic openness. In addition, we transform all variables in Equation ( 2) into logarithmic form to mitigate the existence of heteroscedasticity and change the slope coefficients into elasticity (Rahman and Alam, 2021).…”

PurposeThe main purpose of this paper is to analyze the sustainable inward FDI pattern of Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachThis paper intends to analyze the sustainable FDI pattern of Vietnam using the gravity theory and panel data approach for the annual data over the period of 2007–2020.FindingsVietnamese FDI volume is positively affected by political and social factors, globalization and green energy consumption, while geographical distance is a major obstacle to the increase of FDI inflows of the country.Practical implicationsAs the main practical policy implications, issuing policies for sustainable economic growth, launching the novel strategy of green FDI neighborhood policy and regionalism through free trade agreements are recommended.Originality/valueTo the best of author's knowledge, there has not been any in-depth academic study focusing on the Vietnam's sustainable FDI. In addition, three robustness checks have been conducted to ensure the validation of empirical findings.

“…Furthermore, the global economic weight has shifted toward emerging markets (Cascio & Boudreau, 2016). It is no longer the large organizations-MNEs who are engaged in cross-border trade but also small and medium enterprises (Cerrato & Piva, 2012;Co et al, 2018;Lazaris & Freeman, 2018). This kind of scenario presents a variety of unique sets of operational and managerial challenges, which require a high level of managerial and leadership skill sets.…”

“…Hartmann, Feisel, & Schober, ; McDonnell et al, ; Stahl et al, ). Although there is now an increase in research on TM at an international level (Ahamand et al, ; Ambrocious, ; Bhattacharyya, ; Co, Nguyen, Nguyen, & Tran, ; Latukha, ; Lazaris & Freeman, ), a gap remains as regards to the context (Collings, Scullion & Dowling, ; Tarique & Schuler, ; Thunnissen, Boselie, & Fruytier, ; Thunnissen, ) and effectiveness of the approaches taken to manage talent in different types of international organizations. The present research contributes to filling this gap by exploring the efficacy of TM to international business through lived experiences of senior and HR managers in Europe.…”

The focus of this study is on the efficacy of talent management (TM) practices to the performance and operations of international businesses. There are relatively limited dedicated studies on the value and effectiveness of TM as an identifiable international practice and its contribution to international business. Anecdotal research and consultants' reports have argued for an increase in the return on investment where TM practices are aligned with the business strategy. Conceptually, human capital theory is adopted to explain investment in high potentials in addition to the resource‐based view, which help explain the development of internal sources of competitive advantage, which are rare, inimitable, nonsubstitutable, and valuable. This article builds on knowledge by qualitatively examining managerial experiences of TM practices within 17 European internationally operating businesses with employees ranging from 800 to 200,000. An exploratory qualitative approach is adopted, with semistructured interviews as the main data collection tool. Findings accentuate the significance of developing the most valuable source of competitive advantage—people. We argue that, if TM is effectively implemented can result in the development of unique competences, which can ease the burdens of cross‐border business challenges and lead to sustainable competitive advantage.
