NEW CHALLENGES
Dear friends, After 18 years of development Hanoi School of Business (HSB) under Vietnam National University Hanoi (VNU) has become a leading brand in Vietnam and more importantly a hometown house of more than 10,000 happy and successful alumni who work hard every day to innovate and contribute to the course of developing socio-economy of our beloved Vietnam. Today HSB has moved to a new stage of development with many advantages. With the supports of prominent scientists, international lecturers and alumni, since 2013 HSB has implemented many new training programs that are outstanding and inter-disciplinary and that closely link theory with practice and the tools for thinking with the tools for doing. Environment and jobs can be changed, but HSBs people have learned to be confident on the road to find the meaning of work and meaning of life. On the journey to success and happiness, we always keep in our minds those beautiful memories about HSB, the teacher-student relationship, and the feelings among classmates

Everything may be gone but the culture. HSB culture is our respect to teachers & morals, our community spirit, and our commitment to accompany our lecturers, students and alumni. Please return home to HSB whenever you should need help and especially when you want to share and have opportunities to contribute to help HSB develop sustainably. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Dinh Phi Acting Dean Hanoi School of Business Vietnam National University, Hanoi

WHAT THEY

The Business Innovation is also one of the most interesting, up to date, and practical knowledge I feel to have learnt from this program. The professor provides us with a wide variation of stories, ending us to connect to the significance of innovation in the global world today. I really like this topic because its a window, and a platform that drives me into a realm of innovation. Farhana Begum Binte V S Mohamed Ibrahim

Although Im an engineering student, it is still important for us to learn the Basics of Management as most of us would be managers one day. After this program, I learnt how managers differ from non-managerial employees and knowing the different roles performed by them.

I think that the past is a very good window to the future, and knowing about the richness of Vietnamese History makes us appreciate the culture more. By equipping ourselves with the knowledge of Vietnamese History, we can relate more to the surroundings when we go travelling or sight-seeing. I admire the spirit of the Vietnamese very much and I wish Singaporean can have such a strong history story and cultural identity too. Selina Chan Jia Jia
