Overview

The University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Hawaii at Manoa CIBERs are pleased to host the inaugural Vietnam Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) program January 3-15, 2009. The FDIB will focus on the unique aspects of doing business in Vietnam, comparing and contrasting the business environments of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Each city will begin with background briefings from U.S. commercial attachés, followed by site visits to a range of firms. These visits may include firms in the manufacturing, professional services, retail, food processing, and healthcare industries. Ho Chi Minh City will emphasize the rapidly growing SMEs and MNE outsourcing, while Hanoi will emphasize the transition of state-owned enterprises.
