Academic foundation

In the context of globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, startups and innovation have become the core driving force of socio-economic development, and at the same time a measure of national competitiveness.

VietNam National University, Hanoi as the country's leading center for training, research and knowledge transfer, always sets its mission in nurturing the young generation of intellectuals, fostering creativity, social responsibility and the desire to serve the Fatherland. From that strategic orientation, forming a startup ecosystem within the university is not only a task, but also a long-term commitment to creating knowledge and promoting the sustainable development of the country.

The book "The Founder: Academic foundation and breath of the times" was born in that context.

The work is a crystallization of scientific intelligence, built on a solid theoretical foundation, and at the same time closely linked to startup practices in Vietnam and the world. With a tight structure, covering the qualities and capabilities of the founder, business strategy and planning, organizational management, finance, leadership, and startup culture, the book has opened up a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and profound picture.

What makes the work special is the blend of academic and practical qualities. Each theoretical concept is illuminated by vivid examples, each academic argument is proven by stories of successful and failed startups. Thanks to that, the book is not only a reference document, but also a compass for all founders, lecturers, students, and those interested in the startup path.

VietNam National University, Hanoi always defines its mission as nurturing fundamental knowledge works, accompanying the development of the country. This work not only contributes to spreading the entrepreneurial spirit in the community, but also demonstrates the connection between academia and practice, between school and society, between knowledge and action. This is the value that an internationally oriented research university like Hanoi National University always pursues: creating new knowledge, training new people and accompanying the creation of the future.

With that meaning, I believe that the book "The Founder: Academic foundation and breath of the times" will be a valuable document for students, scholars, researchers and the business community. It not only fuels the entrepreneurial journey of each individual, but also contributes to the cause of national revival and development in the era of innovation and creativity.
