BáO CáO VIETNAM CEO INSIGHT 2019

FOREWORD

he technology age is changing everything, opening up a digital era that can make human
society grow faster - more modern with new products and services that have never been
T“thought of”. For businesses, the start of this era has gradually reset the definition of mar-
ket demand and competition in business where a small company can also confront with power-
ful business empires if it can take advantage of technology and digitalization to make a break-
through. However, besides businesses that have developed thanks to that and brought new val-
ues to people and society, there are still many challenges that require other businesses to con-
stantly change to adapt and overcome. The successful implementation of digital transformation
is even more difficult than traditional change efforts.

In such a context, within the framework of Vietnam CEO Summit 2019 – an annual meeting ded-
icated to leaders of large businesses, business with high growth and good prospects of Vietnam,
with the participation of pioneers in innovation and technology, including Dr. David Bray
(Executive Director, People-Centered Internet), Mr. Keith Davies (Strategy Director, Energy,
Resources & Industrials, Monitor Deloitte Southeast Asia), Mr. Jeffrey Saviano (EY Global Tax
Innovation Leader), and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Minh Khuong (National University of Singapore),
Vietnam Report conducted research and published a bilingual report, named Vietnam cEO
Insight 2019, with the theme “Digital Transformation and Opportunities of Vietnamese
Businesses”. The report presents a collection of views, analyses, new trends, new strategies,
new thinking, and in-depth assessments of economic and technological experts on the influence
of digital transformation on sustainable growth and business efficiency; thereby, it is expected
to contribute to help Vietnamese business community understand the trend and raise their think-
ing to select the appropriate business strategy in the future of the digital era.

Vietnam Report’s Editorial Board hopes that the Vietnam cEO Insight 2019 published in
August 2019 will be a useful reference for Vietnamese business community in particular and all
readers in general.

Our Editorial Board would like to give thanks to all Sponsors: Baoviet Life Corporation, Military
Commercial Joint Stock Bank, and Deloitte Vietnam Company Limited for the cooperation in pub-
lishing this Report successfully.

We hope to receive your feedbacks and comments to perfect the Report.
