Prof. Tom Cannon lectures at UEB on 19 January 2010
“The very first element of successful business is not money, but talent. Therefore, first of all you have to be believe that you are really a talented person” - That was the message from Prof. Tom Cannon, the leading policy advisor from U.K. shared with students of University of Economics and Business - VNU in his lecture on 19 January 2010.

He affirmed that 21st century is the age of talent based economy. He provided some evaluations on challenges of 21st century, including the breaking-out of the third industrial revolution, talent competitiveness as well as the tendency of talent gathering in the world.

Besides, Prof. Tom Cannon also discussed about the theme of “Corporate Responsibility”  (CSR) in this lecture. Although this is a new term to many Vietnam’s enterprises, CSR has been considered as an important element of business in the world. Enterprises which implement CSR will contribute to sustainable economy and benefit themselves, spoke Prof. Tom Cannon. Implementing CSR also aims to assure the shareholders’ social interests and relating parties’. On the other hand, this activity will maintain and improve number of customers who are interested in sustainable economic development and environment protection. Furthermore, the professor also provided several operating modes and structures for enterprises when implementing CSR.
