10. Summary of thesis results:

Globalization is a trend that is taking place strongly in the world and it affects all countries and territories. Not going out of the globalization process is the integration as well as cultural exchange between countries and territories in the world. Korean cuisine is one of the new cultural values ​​introduced into Vietnam through cultural and economic exchange.

Along with the rapid development of Korean culture and cuisine, it is also creating many impacts on social and human issues. Besides bringing new dishes and new eating styles to Vietnam, it also has certain impacts on economic development such as creating a business market for many domestic and foreign enterprises to develop.

The introduction and development of Korean cuisine in Vietnam has also promoted the establishment of many restaurants and business models selling Korean dishes. These Korean restaurants and eateries have partly contributed to economic development as well as solving the current labor problem.

In addition, the rapid development of Korean food in our country also leads to many problems of national identity. The strong penetration and voluntary acceptance of the people can lead to many cultural values ​​and Vietnamese cuisine being forgotten.

The author also hopes that his work can contribute to researchers, especially managers, a more comprehensive view of Korean cuisine. The introduction and development of Korean cuisine is an inevitable factor in the process of integration and globalization of the country. We will always have to accept new cultural elements, but we must not ignore or disregard their impacts on the economy and social life. The issue of national identity needs to be emphasized more, we are integrating into the common culture of the world but still have to maintain our own unique features, avoiding the case of dissolving into the flow of world culture./.
