The "Intellectual Property and Management" competition

The competition, organized by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in collaboration with the Vietnam Association of Business Managers and the Vietnam Intellectual Property Association, took place on April 25, 2009. Thien An Group was the sponsor. Four teams participated: the Managers Club - University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Managers Club - National Economics University, the Managers Club - Academy of Journalism and Communication, and the Future Managers Club - University of Commerce.

There are three parts to the competition:

- The "Understanding the Businesses" section aims to provide information related to sponsoring businesses and member businesses of the Vietnam Association of Business Managers.

- Situation Handling Section: Each team must propose a solution to a situation that has occurred or is hypothetically likely to occur, related to intellectual property rights (IPR) within businesses.

Final results:
