\n\tI. FIRST SESSION<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n\tIn the first session (9:00-10:30), it is our great pleasure to welcome <\/span>Dr. Anothai Ngamvichaikit<\/b> from Management Science Faculty, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU), Thailand to Hoa Sen Research Seminar. In this session, Dr. Anothai will present her research on <\/span>\u201cCommunication needs of medical tourists: an exploratory study in Thailand\u201d<\/b>. This would be particularly interesting for researchers who are interested in qualitative research and hospitality topics.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n\tAbstract:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tPurpose<\/u> \u2013 The aim of this paper is to contribute a conceptualization of the information and communication needs of medical tourists from Western countries in an Asian health care context.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tDesign\/methodology\/approach<\/u> \u2013 Multi-phase, semi-structured, in-depth interviews and observations were conducted with 27 multi-source informants who have communication experience in the international healthcare setting.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tFindings<\/u> \u2013 Multi-level information provision should be used to address communicative incongruence in Asian healthcare provider \u2013 Western patient encounters as was self-reported by the participants and observed by authors. The use of an informative communication model is proposed in order to facilitate interaction and the effective transfer of information with Western patients to overcome negative, underlying emotions and enable autonomous decision making by the patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tResearch limitations\/implications<\/u> \u2013 This exploratory study is focused on Western patients and Asian practitioners in Thailand. Future research in other countries and with patients from other geographical areas could expand to generalize findings.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tPractical implications<\/u> \u2013 Fostering information sharing with Western patients by using an integrative communication model can improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes. The need for developing and implementing these improved practices for communicating with Western patients is reflected by the healthcare industry\u2019s current developmental trends helping to lead to a future of health service internationalization.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tOriginality\/value<\/u> \u2013 This is the first empirical study to provide insights concerning the communication needs and coping strategies of Western patients with Asian doctors in developing countries.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n

\n\tII. SECOND SESSION<\/h3>\n
\n\tIn the second session, it is our pleasure to welcome\u00a0Mr. Nguyen Son Kien<\/b><\/font>, who has just graduated as the valedictorian of the MA program in Development Economics (Vietnam-Netherlands program, Economic University Ho Chi Minh City), to HSRS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>Mr. Kien\u00a0will present his research on \u201cStrategic risks, family ownership and performance from Vietnam\u2019s listed firms\u201d<\/b>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tAbstract:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tThis study examines the following fundamental gaps in its kind of research.\u00a0 First, the impact of family ownership on firm\u2019s performance is examined in the Vietnam\u2019s context. \u00a0Second, the relationship between the strategic (including systematic and unsystematic) risks and firm\u2019s performance are clarified by the \u201cdirect\u201d and \u201cindirect\u201d channels. Third, this is an empirical evidence of using the weak instrumental variable in the line of family ownership\u2019s research. The newly used econometric techniques including (i) the multivariate regression model (MVREG); (ii) the generalized structural equation model (GSEM) are adopted in this study on a sample of 289 listed companies in the Ho Chi Minh stock exchange in 2013. Findings from this study indicate that family ownership (the ownership and family involvement in the board of directors; presence of relatives to the founders in the company; and family members being the CEO) could negatively affect firm\u2019s performance which then results in a lower level of firms\u2019 performance (lower ROA) and a higher risk of bankruptcy (lower Z-score). In addition, the relationship between the strategic risks and firm\u2019s performance is evident, and statistically significant, in both direct and indirect channels.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tFurthermore, this research confirms the positive effect on firm\u2019s performance from the experienced directors and foreign investors.\u00a0 However, this study fail to support the link between a numbers of corporate governance factors such as: (i) the board size; the duality, the diversity and outside directors to firm\u2019s performance. These findings are somewhat consistent with the conclusions from various reports in relation to weak applications of the standard corporate governance. Besides that, while there is a significant positive effects of capital expenditure on firm\u2019s performance, the effect is negative for impact of increasing more debt on firm\u2019s performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tFor those who will join HSRS for the first time, please be informed that the weekly open seminars welcome all research oriented participants in broad areas of Economics, Management, Education and Development, who can come to learn and share without pre-registration. Once at the seminar, please sign your name and contact address so that we can update you with future program schedules. <\/span><\/div>\n
