Continuing Hoa Sen University’s tradition of “real learning by doing,” graduate students have actively questioned the applicability of their knowledge from the master’s program in finding solutions to aid multinational corporations in Vietnam to recover and thrive once more. Mr. Kim Tuoc emphasized the importance of critical thinking and problem-solving, stating, “We must always respond to a question with another question to effectively address the issue.
