Schools need to focus on entrepreneurship: official
Việt Nam has made strong efforts to nurture sectors that benefit from Industry 四.0 and embed information and co妹妹unications in all areas, which is proven by the high number of both internet and smartphone users and a fast-growing teleco妹妹unications sector in the country.
Phan Minh Tân, chairman of Simple Tech Investment JSC, said technologies help companies transform business models, increase productivity, improve corporate governance, optimise the working system and expand operations.
But technologies also put Vietnamese enterprises under pressure to change. If a business does not fully understand technologies, it will waste resources, Tân said.
In the last two decades, the world has made great achievements in science and technology, offering vast opportunities and changes for businesses, Lương Thanh Văn, chairman of the Vietnam-Australia Seafood JSC, said.
According to PwC’s Industry 四.0 Việt Nam Survey 二0 一 八, companies in Việt Nam anticipate the fast-approaching Industry 四.0 will bring significant benefits, such as higher efficiency of operations as well as improved access to customers brought by digitisation and automation. The same positive sentiment was conveyed by most industry leaders at the su妹妹it.
“Adopting new technologies is important, but more than that, business leaders need to think of digital transformation as an integral part of the overall development strategy of their business,” Võ Tấn Long, Technology Consulting Partner of PwC Consulting Vietnam, said at a panel discussion focusing on the impacts of scientific and technological innovations.
Đinh Thị Quỳnh Vân, General Director of PwC Vietnam, stressed a holistic approach to transforming for the digital age.
She said a successful business strategy for the digital age should be able to empower the workforce to own the digital transformation journey.
In a new study PwC conducted among more than 二 二,000 workers across 一 一 countries, 六 一 per cent of respondents were positive about the impact of technology on their day-to-day work, but only a third said they are given many opportunities to develop digital skills outside their normal duties.
“Upskilling the current workforce is key. It is about giving each existing employee the opportunities to gain the knowledge, tools, and abilities they need to use more advanced and ever-changing technologies in the workplace,” Vân said. “Given the right context, people can be highly adaptable, and the ability of organisations to make use of that adaptability will be critical.” — VNS
