How effective is networking in Vietnam?
I'm looking forward to coming to Vietnam to speak in a couple of weeks. I'd love to know more about how networking is perceived there and what you would most like to learn.
Is networking popular and is it well received?

@Lopata: Pls invite Nick here, Iove to catch up w him too:).
No way you can compare networking in Vn with UK or US where professionals (in my opinion) embrace networking as a lifestyle and professional skill while in VN (even if you work at foreign company), networking is till WORK for most, meaning I'll do it when I have to do or asked to do. if not, I prefer to spend time with my family or my small group of friend. Last year, when I did the survey to 10,000+ people, then do quantitative one to follow, I found out that many people still think networking is just going out to event/ party, get as many bus card as u can and almost lack many important networking skill like follow up, etc... Though with time, training and more competitive market, this skill become more & more important and getting better:). I also get more require to teach and talk about networking (before this skill is always less priority compared to other hard core part).
WHY. I guess there many reason:
- By nature, VNese value relationship within family rather than others
- Historically, VN promote hero and individual rather than team / community, unlike China who really value the quanxi, so you can see wherever they r, they have very strong community
- We only have the open economy recently, so in general, VN labor lack of many important soft skill many of which contribute to how well networking you are
Many other reasons too, we can talk more if you want when u r here. Cheers-

Interesting subject. I believe bottom line is networking means opportunity and people love opportunity. + Vietnamese people are easy to get in contact with new people because they are very keen on moving forward if that can mean more opportunity. Foreigners in Vietnam also do networking throughout all the different chambers, quite active, as well as different gathering channels. Being abroad reinforce the need of gathering and networking.
Vietnam is still a country where relationship is really really important ( I believe anywhere but it is very strong in Vietnam ). So networking is a must.I follow @maitran by asking Ms Thanh Nguyen about the Networking IQ results. Would be great to have a glance at it.

Great to hear that you are coming to VN. What kind of event? Here in VN, people know the important of networking but in generally don't invest much time and energy to build quality relationship, unless they work in sale or so. I think we also lack of many essential etiquette and skill for networking.
We've developed a survey called Networking IQ test with quite simple and basic question, you can have a look here and see how average VNese networking skill is
http://survey.anphabe.com/networking-iq/And do let me know when u r here, I'd love to have some chat w you:). Cheers

Thanks. I'm speaking at three events for Nick Jonsson from 18-20th August. I was waiting for more information from Nick before getting in touch. One of the events is for NordCham and the German Chamber, details were sent out yesterday.
I would love to meet up while I'm there.
I'll have a look at the survey, thank you. Do you think that Vietnam is as developed in networking as the US or UK? If not, why not?

Thanks Thanh. I spoke to Nick this morning and told him I would invite him to join.
Would it be OK to quote you in a blog I'm writing for The Huffington Post?
