Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
To develop an economy that requires the resources: capital, science - technology,
natural resources and manpower; to grow rapidly and sustainably it should be based on
three basic elements: apply new technologies, development of modern infrastructure and
improve the quality of human resources.
The socio-economic development depends on many factors, and conditions, but
most remain largely dependent on human factors, compare with other resources, the human
resource is more dominant. Therefore, more than any other resources, human resource
always occupies the central location and play leading role in socio-economic development
of the country, especially in the promoting period of industrialization modernization and
international economic integration.
The exploitation and utilization of human resource effectively is extremely
important issue, human resource should promote the diversity and abundance of Eastern
cultural traditions such as hospitality, the talent, intellectual, science . However so far, the
important potentials have not been exploited fully, properly and may have not used
effectively.
Today, when the world enters the intellectual economic, the problem of talent is a
critical issue, because talented people are the nucleus of intellectual economy. Although
talented people at any time is always important, but nowadays it is even more important
than ever, To take a short-cut and leader in the development it must have advanced human
resource, not to forget talented people and not to waste human resource. Therefore,
countries should actively plan, create sources, training and retraining of human resources to
2
develop most effectively
For Vietnam, is in the modernization and industrialization process, many industrial
zones and export processing zones have been established and attracted millions of
employees working inside that promoted the country‟s economic growth. However, the
industrial zones are facing some difficulties; one of them regards to human resource,
workforce has not satisfied requirements yet, because of low trained percentage,
Government's report in 2009 said: "The quality of human resources of Vietnam today is
low; the percentage of trained labor reaches only a bout 38%." Therefore, if it would be
trained that will be the resources with strong impact on growth and economic development
of the country.
For company, in the strong competitive environment, many companies have paid
attention to training and human resource development, because human resource is the basis
for existence and development of the company. Through training that can provide skilled
staff for the company to accomplish tasks given and also increase productivity. Moreover,
along with advance in technique – technology requires company has to train a team of hiskilled, hi-tech and creative staff to handle complex problems which they can not do
before. Beside, in market economy, companies compete by using knowledgeable, highly
skilled and creative human resource in production. That makes human resource
development in companies increased rapidly as today.
1.1. Background of study
