From Knowledge to Capability

/

What determines technological competitiveness: the amount of knowledge a country creates – or the speed at which that knowledge becomes capability?

China is tightening the links between universities, research and industry. Vietnam is simultaneously reshaping important parts of its science, technology and innovation system. Europe and Germany approach the same challenge from a very different starting point: they already possess strong institutions, but often face friction between them.

Vietnam’s VND 2 Quadrillion Funding Gap

/

Vietnam’s roughly VND 2 quadrillion gap between bank lending and deposits is not only a banking issue. It changes the economics of corporate finance. When bank funding becomes more expensive while credit must continue to support growth, banks have less room for weak risk-adjusted returns. Lower-margin, less differentiated SMEs are likely to feel that pressure first through pricing, collateral requirements, tighter limits or more selective approval.

/

/

Resolution No. 10 is often discussed through the lens of localisation. The more important question for executive teams is whether organisations are building the leadership, decision-making and organisational capabilities required for Vietnam’s next growth phase.

The Founder Bottleneck

/

Founder‑led success is a powerful advantage in early‑stage businesses, but it can become a bottleneck as complexity grows. This paper explains how founder dependence emerges, how it affects governance and performance, and what families, managers and investors need to see to trust the organisation’s future. It outlines a practical transition path that strengthens institutional capability without diminishing the founder’s influence. The goal is controlled institutionalisation—moving authority only where capability and information can support it.
