This study seeks to examine the relationship between business resources (through VRIN: Valuable - valuable, Rare - scarce; Inimitable - difficult to adapt, Irreplaceable - hard to replace), dynamic capability, external cooperation, and efficiency of startups operating in the seafood export sector. Research data was collected randomly and conveniently from 250 enterprises in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Vietnam, from October 2020 to December 2020. After excluding those ineligible, the remaining 204 enterprises meet the research conditions. With the support of SPSS-AMOS 22 dedicated software, using the 5-step Likert scale and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study conducted analysis steps such as verifying convergence, discriminant value, unidirectional and scale reliability when giving the components correlated freely in the critical model by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) analysis. Results of the study have shown that the enterprise resource factor - VRIN has a positive impact on dynamic capability, and outside cooperation. However, in contrast to previous studies, we found that the relationship between enterprise resources - VRIN and performance as well as the relationship between dynamics capacity and performance is not clear. This shows that seafood exporters need to promote, exploit and effectively use this precious resource to improve business efficiency.

본 논문에서는 현존하는 자료를 바탕으로 베트남 봉건시대의 민주주의적 요소들에 대해 고찰한다. 일반적인 상식으로 민주주의와 봉건주의는 서로 어울리지 않는다. 봉건주의에서는 몇가지 민주주의적 요소들이 나타나고 발견될 뿐이다. 본 논문은 “국가의 근본은 민에 있다”고 하는 민본(民本)에 초점을 맞추어 논한다. 베트남 유학자의 관점에서 인민의 뜻은 하늘의 뜻이다. 하늘의 아들로서의 왕은 하늘의 뜻을 따라야 하는데, 바로 인민의 뜻이 하늘의 뜻이다. 그래서 왕은 인민의 뜻을 듣고 인민의 뜻에 따라 일을 해야만 한다. 국가의 운명은 인민의 뜻과 끊을 수 없는 관계에 있다. 이긴다는 것은 인민의 뜻을 얻은 것이고 진다는 것은 인민의 뜻을 잃는다는 것이다. 이러한 의식을 바탕으로 지배자는 안정된 정치적 환경을 만들기 위해 인민을 사랑해야하며 인민에게 믿음을 줘야 한다. 인민의 믿음은 국가의 안정과 발전에 근간을 둔다. 애민(愛民)은 왕의 책임일 뿐만 아니라 신하의 의무이기도 하다. 왕이 인민을 사랑하고 그들에게 믿음을 주기위해 왕은 안민(安民)을 중요한 정치적 목표로 고려해야 한다. 안민한다는 것은 인민을 부유하고 평화롭고 안정되게 만들며 다른 것에 대해 걱정하지 않도록 해주는 것이다. 또한 인민이 스스로를 발전시키고 공동체와 사회에 대한 의무와 책임을 시행하는 기회를 갖도록 도와주는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 ‘민본’의 개념을 시행하기 위한 몇가지 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 정부는 인민의 뜻이 반영된 기구를 만들고, 시행중인 법의 권력과 부패 등을 줄여서 다스리고, 기구들을 새롭게 개선해 나가야 한다. 인민에 대해, 정부는 인민의 삶을 개선시키고 인민의 힘과 공공직업 등이 균형이 잘 잡힐 수 있도록 노력해야 한다. 이런 종류의 민주주의는 베트남 봉건주의 속에서 몇 가지가 반영된다. 전통적인 베트남 정치체계는 자유를 대신해 다스림과 명령 아래 존재하는 경향이 있다. 사실상 정치적 용어에서 자유와 명령 모두 한계를 갖지 않는다. 대신에 유교적 전통에서 링컨의 말과 같은 ‘인민에 의한’ 것은 없지만 ‘인민의’, ‘인민을 위한’ 것은 있다. 본 논문에서는 베트남 통치구역에서 민주주의실시 교육의 분명한 방법들로써 베트남의 마을민주주의를 제시할 것이다. In this paper the author wants to consider the democratic elements in the feudalism of Vietnam through written materials remained. Although in common sense, democracy and feudalism is not suitable for each other, there still appeared and developed some democratic factors. The author mentions the thought on ‘people as the root of the country’ (民本). In Vietnamese Confucian scholars’ viewpoint, people’s will is the Heaven’s will. Since the King is a Heaven’s son, everything he does must follow Heaven’s will whereas people’s will is Heaven’s will. Therefore, the King must listen to and conduct his action in accordance with people’s will. Nation’s fate is associated with people’s will. Victory is due to people’s will, failure is due to losing people’s will. With that awareness, the rulers must love people and make people trust them, in order to make the political circumstance stable. People’s trust is the foundation of the nation’s stability and development. And loving people is not only the King’s responsibility, but also the subjects’ obligation. To love people and make them trust in the King, the rulers must consider reassuring people (安民) the important political target. Reassuring is keeping people wealthy, peaceful, stable, unworried about everything, helping people to have chance to develop them and implementing obligations, responsibility with communes and society. The author also puts forward some ways for implementing the conception of ‘people as root’: the government establishes the mechanism for reflecting people’s will, controls the power by implementing laws andreducing the corruption etc, and renovates the administrative structure. With the people, the government tries to improve people’s livelihood, balances people’s strength and public jobs etc. This kind of democracy in Vietnamese feudalism brings about some reflections. Traditional Vietnamese political system tends to be under control/order instead of being freedom. In fact, both freedom and order have not been limited in political term. Indeed, in Confucian traditional, there is no ‘by the people’ like in the statement of Lincoln, only ‘of the people and for the people’. In this paper, the author also mentions some aspects of Vietnamese village democracy as the specific way of democratic practice by habilitations in Vietnamese rural areas.

Some Features of The "Vietnamization" of Confucianism in The History of Vietnam

( Nguyen Tai Dong ) 충남대학교 유학연구소 2015 儒學硏究 Vol.33 No.-

본 논문에서는 베트남유학에 담겨 있는 특별한 요소들을 살펴본다. 유학은 본래 베트남고유의 사상체계는 아니다. 그러나 유학은 2000년 동안 베트남의 민족사상 체계 속에 점진적으로 뿌리를 내렸으며 베트남의 발전과 함께 하였다. 이로써 유학은 마침내 베트남문화 발전에 기여를 하게 되어 베트남 유교가 되었다. 유학의 베트남화 과정은 오랜 시간동안 계속 전개되었다. 베트남 학자들 역시 중국유학의 개념들을 사용하였는 바, 대체로 송나라 유학의 개념을 사용하였다. 그러나 베트남 학자들은 중국유학의 몇 가지 특수한 개념들만을 취사선택하고 그것을 핵심으로 가져와 중국유학의 개념체계와는 다른 유학체계를 만들었다. 또한 베트남 유학과 중국 유학을 비교해 볼 때, 이러한 유학의 개념들에 대해 해석하는 방법이 다르다. 유학의 베트남화 과정에 있어서의 주요한 특징들은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. (1) 외래 사상과 문화는 베트남의 실제적 상황 아래 베트남 민족의 질문에 대답을 해야만 존재하고 발전할 수 있다. (2) 베트남 사람들은 외래문화를 수입하였지만 여전히 베트남문화의 본질을 지켰다. (3) 인문주의와 인간존중이 발휘되는 바탕 위에서 ‘베트남화’가 실현될 수 있다. (4) 베트남화 과정은 실용주의적인 성격을 지닌다. 어떠한 이론이든 간에 실천을 함께 수반하는 경향이 있다. (5) 베트남화 과정은 개방성과 문화적 다원성과 사상의 독선을 거부하는 경향을 바탕으로 전개된다. (6) 외래 사상과 문화를 수용할 때 베트남 사람들은 극단적이지 않고 비판적 정신을 견지한다. In this paper, the author considers some distinguished features of Vietnamese Confucianism. Confucianism was originally not an indigenous theoretical system in Vietnam, but in about 2000 years of introducing and developing in this country, it has gradually taken root into Vietnamese theoretical tradition and made an important contribution to its florescence. The process of ‘Vietnamization of the Confucianism’ took place during that long time. Vietnamese scholars also used original Confucian concepts and ideas, mainly the Neo-Confucian ones, but they chose only some of those concepts, considering them key concepts, and based on them they established a system more or less different from Chinese Confucianism. Furthermore, in explaining those concepts’ connotations, Vietnamese Confucianism was not similar to Chinese Confucianism. Some distinctive features of the Vietnamization of Confucianism are as follows: (1) Foreign theories and cultural factors could exist and develop if and only if they were based on Vietnamese reality and used in order to answer problems emerged from it. (2) Foreign culture was accepted, but the characteristics of the indigenous culture were well preserved. (3) “Vietnamization” was based on the confirmation of humanism. (4) The process of Vietnamization was realistic, every theory tended to the close connection with the reality. (5) “Vietnamization” was based on the open-minded and multiculturalist spirit and inclined to avoid monopoly of thought. (6) The Vietnamese are not fanatic: they show their critical spirit when acquiring foreign thoughts and cultures.

儒家社會責任觀及其在越南當代的意義

완재동 ( Nguyen Tai Dong ) 성균관대학교 유교문화연구소 2013 儒敎文化硏究(中文版) Vol.0 No.20

傳統儒敎是如何理解社會義務的?首先,社會義務既是規範,又是倫理德目。從倫理的觀點上看,儒敎思想的核心包含五德(仁義禮智信)和五倫(父子、君臣、夫婦、兄弟、朋友)。第二,社會義務被理解爲指向國家的責任意識。儒敎修養的最終目的是社會生活的實踐。透過孟子的生涯我們所看到的人生態度,一方面是內面的修養和自我的完成以及內面德性的提高,另一方面是外面的領域,即幇助他人,安定國家的行爲。“內勝外王”之道正是傳統儒敎中履行社會義務的模型。第三,還可以從自然法的層面觀察社會義務。爲了尋找合理解決社會變化的方法,儒學家認爲社會義務是賦予給人的天命。(見於《易經》) 因此,對於天命的儒敎槪念就是認識到“替天行道”的社會義務。 越南的儒學家們也對儒敎的社會義務表現出特殊的關心。在阮廌(Nguyen Trai)的思想中,社會義務首先表現爲愛國心。守護國家的精神,熱愛國家和人民之心,與世界的連續性是越南儒學的理想,“先人之憂,後人之樂”的精神可以說是越南曆代儒學家們所體現的特性和靈感。這種理想在曆史上,以至於今天,都是構成和發展越南人的一個典型。“國家的興亡取決於大家”(所有人對社會的繁榮負責)一句正是體現越南儒學的人類愛的精神和態度的原則中之一。“立天地之心,爲今天的人類開拓道路,尋求萬世之‘大和平’”的理想是,爲鼓舞社會責任而子子孫孫相傳下來的儒學精神。
