Overview

Many studies have stressed the role of social capital in the “Doi moi” (reform) period of Vietnam it could help to promote industrialization, modernization and international integration. However, almost all of these studies were only concerned with kinship and limited their scope to the village level. It is obviously necessary to have a policy research on social capital via a large scale survey in order to provide more comprehensive evidence and help develop appropriate policies to encourage the efficient use of social capital.

The survey aims at being a preliminary exploratory investigation into: (i) The nature of networks in which small businesses (traders) participate; (ii) Other relationships with the community of the traders; (iii) The outcomes of the network membership and other relationships, e.g. help build a picture of the capacity to respond and adapt to changes through cooperative action.
