The book is structured to provide valuable information on the current state of the Vietnamese business environment in two ways: 1) by providing facts and raw information, 2) by citing examples and stories of what real individuals and companies have encountered and what they have done to overcome these obstacles. The two approaches are meant to support and provide context for each other. Instead of just presenting the relevant information, the book outlines the reality of their application, which is critically important for newcomers to the country.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This guide is broken into three parts comprising of \"Considering Vietnam,\" \"Starting Up in Vietnam,\" and \"The Daily Challenges.\" Addressing these three phases makes it relevant for businessmen at all stages of their business ventures in the country, as well as individuals going to the country on political assignments and graduate students studying the country's business environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVietnam Business Guide\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eGETTING STARTED IN TOMORROW'S MARKET TODAY\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimberly and Brian Vierra have written the most useful guide I have seen for foreigners who want to do business in Vietnam. I've spent years in the country, but I learned a lot from this book. It's full of practical information about unique aspects of Vietnam's business culture; registration, legal and tax issues; working with local business partners; living conditions in Vietnam and industry-specific opportunities. Interviews with experienced expatriates bring the issues to life. The Vierras are very frank about tough problems such as corruption, but they also convey a real affection for and understanding of this wonderful country. \u003cb\u003eRaymond Burghardt\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eFormer US Ambassador to Vietnam; Director, Indochina Capital Corporation\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVietnam Business Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is the book that every seasoned Southeast Asia hand, bellied up to a Saigon bar, says he ought to write. Be thankful the Vierras made good on this common boast. Unstinting, pragmatic, penetrating and incredibly accessible, this highly readable volume may not keep you from the suffering the pain of starting up, but--if read closely, with a yellow highlighter--may very well spare you the agony of undue blood-letting. There will be blood, but \u003ci\u003eVietnam Business Guide\u003c\/i\u003e will mitigate the flow. \u003cb\u003eJames Sullivan\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eManaging Director, Mandarin Media; Author, \u003c\/i\u003e National Geographic Vietnam\u003ci\u003e and\u003c\/i\u003e Over the Moat \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVietnam Business Guide\u003c\/i\u003e provides practical and balanced information about Vietnam for foreigners to plan their first steps to enter the market. What separate this book from others are its reality and practicality, brought about by both the authors who themselves are entrepreneurs having walked the same journey and the experts who contributed their experiences on different topics throughout the book. The business landscape in Vietnam is speedily changing. Some facts, by the time you read the book, may need updating but still it serves best in providing newcomers essential starting points--a should-read book for those who consider doing business in Vietnam! \u003cb\u003eVu Minh Tri\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eGeneral Director, Yahoo!

It covers almost all relevant business and personal challenges that one would face in Vietnam, with the authors' firsthand experience shining through in their handling of culture issues and the Vietnamese mindset. Despite the constraints on size, it has sufficient details and a wealth of references to guide entrepreneurs and business executives in the right direction. Crisply written with interviews and real-life anecdotes, it makes for a very interesting read. A must-read book and an invaluable tool kit for anyone looking to Vietnam for business. \u003cb\u003eManish Dhawan\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eVice President -- Coffee Division, Olam International Limited\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Vierra\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. degree in Economics and went on to complete a Master's degree in International Management at Portland State University.
