This book offers an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the Vietnamese economy, which is the fast-growing economy in Southeast Asia. The country has invested heavily in education, health, and development infrastructure across the country. Progress in recent decades has been strong and Vietnam has attracted significant relocation and outsourcing of production from The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. In the recent years, much of the foreign direct investment from China has been channeled to Vietnam. The state's development policy has created optimal conditions for further expansion of production, supply chain, education and finances. Investment in education, health, infrastructure, administration and regulations is facilitating investment inflows, technology transfer and spillover to the growing national companies. The educated young population and disciplined labor force have provided a strong basis for the growth of the economy. The high level of productivity, improved quality of products, low and competitive cost of production, and over 100 million people provide a strong base for a continuous economic growth. This edited volume, brings together selected papers presented at The 5th International Conference on Business (ICB 2023), providing good insights into the features of the economy and its development potential. They provide an up-to-date overview and an empirical research-based picture of the recent trends in Vietnam's economic development. The book would be a useful read for educators, undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and foreign investors, government agencies, provincial and industrial sector decision-makers, trade partners, libraries, individual researchers, and professional and practitioners. It helps to fill the gap in knowledge and inform development planners and investors about different sectors of the Vietnamese economy and its development potential.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem bildungspolitischen Facettenreichtum beruflicher wie persönlicher Skills. Die Notwendigkeit, in einem sich wandelnden Arbeitsumfeld neu benötigte Kompetenzen zu definieren und zu vermitteln bzw. zu erlernen, wirft vielfältige Fragestellungen auf. Die Herausforderungen für Unternehmen, Bildungsanbieter und Arbeitnehmende werden aus wissenschaftlicher ebenso wie aus praxisorientierter Sicht reflektiert, um konkrete Erkenntnisse für Arbeitsalltag und Geschäftsmodelle abzuleiten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren betrachten unter anderem folgende Fragen: Welche Bedeutung hat der Wandel für den Erwerb, die Zertifizierung und die Aktualisierung von Kompetenzen? Wie können Deutschland und die EU strategisch mit diesem Wandel umgehen? Und welche Anforderungen ergeben sich daraus für das Bildungssystem und die Wirtschaft? Arbeitskräfte, die in einem stark gewandelten Arbeitsumfeld über die aktuell notwendigen und neu definierten Qualifikationen verfügen, tragen zu einem nachhaltigen Wachstum bei, fördern Innovationen und verbessern die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Unternehmen. Dies ist der Schlüssel, um sicherzustellen, dass der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung sowie der grüne und digitale Wandel sozial und gerecht sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat die Europäische Kommission das Jahr 2023 zum European Year of Skills erklärt.

Este libro analiza la irrupción de la Inteligencia Artificial en nuestras vidas y sus impactos económicos, sociales y políticos que tiene el desarrollo de estas tecnologías, ahondando en asuntos como las perspectivas del metaverso, el negativo balance climático de la digitalización y los peligros de la burbuja financiera creada en torno a las Criptomonedas, así́ como las desigualdades sociales provocadas por la «brecha digital». Estas circunstancias, junto al anonimato que tolera Internet, han convertido las Redes Sociales en verdaderas cloacas donde crecen las adicciones malsanas, el acoso y la pornografía, con los niños y adolescentes como víctimas principales. Los avances tecnológicos invaden velozmente nuestras vidas y desbordan las capacidades normativas de las Administraciones públicas, todo bajo el control remoto de unos gigantes empresariales que pretenden rediseñar los hábitos sociales en función de sus intereses económicos. En este mundo de escasas reglas, se presenta la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa con una enorme potencia tecnológica e indudable capacidad para impulsar grandes avances sociales y económicos que, sin duda alguna, van a cambiar el mundo para mejorarlo. No obstante falta todavía un verdadero marco ético que vincule los niveles de responsabilidad de todos los actores y ayude a vencer la desafección de muchos ciudadanos. Una realidad esta última a veces alentada por visiones catastrofistas del futuro tecnológico y, en otras ocasiones, por los escandalosos daños causados impunemente y de continuo por la ciberdelincuencia. Finalmente, el libro describe el contenido de las normas regulatorias reclamadas para que la actual y futura realidad del mundo puedan ser legal y socialmente gobernables. Y resume el texto de la pionera Ley Europea de la Inteligencia Artificial.
