Malaysia's Digital Economy: A New Driver of DevelopmentZiaullah Mirza
For Malaysia to continue progressing in its development path, the digital economy is poised to be the new driver of development. However, businesses in Malaysia have adopted digital technologies less readily than the government and population.
Rapid growth in basic digital adoption has contributed to a new digital divide where Malaysia lags behind international peers in digital adoption by businesses.
Only 62% of businesses are connected to the Internet, 46% has fixed broadband (often of low quality) and 18% have a web presence of some kind.
Large export-oriented firms dominate the digital economy as they adopt e-commerce at higher rates than SMEs.
Most of the digital economy’s measurable growth has been concentrated in the manufacturing sector of urbanized states.
For the country to ensure that growth in the digital economy is broad-based and sustainable, key barriers related to digital connectivity, entrepreneurship and taxation need to be addressed.
The Role of Technology Acceptance Model in Explaining Effect on E-Commerce Ap...IJMIT JOURNAL
Today e-commerce has become crucial element to transform some of the world countries into an information society. Business to consumer (B2C) in the developing countries is not yet a normalcy as compared to the developed countries. Consumer behaviour research has shown disappointing results regarding the overall use of the Web for online shopping, despite its considerable promise as a channel for commerce. As the use of the Internet continues to grow in all aspects of daily life, there is an increasing need to better understand what trends of internet usage and to study the barriers and problem of ecommerce adoption. Hence, the purpose of this research is to define how far Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) contributed in e-commerce adoption. Data for this study was collected by the means of a survey conducted in Malaysia in 2010. A total of 611 questionnaire forms were delivered to respondents. The location of respondents was within Penang state. By studying this sample, conclusions would be drawn to generalize the interests of the population.

Cloud computing is an emerging technology that
offers opportunities for organisations to hire precisely those ICT
services they need (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS). Small and medium sized
enterprises (SMEs) can benefit a lot from software services that
are managed in a professional way. Cloud computing enables
them to overcome restrictions from low budgets and limited
resources for ICT. However, cloud adoption is challenging and
requires a clear cloud roadmap. Organisations lack knowledge of
cloud computing and are usually challenged by the adoption of
cloud services. In most cases, SMEs do not know what aspects
they have to take into consideration for a sound decision in
favour or against the cloud. A cloud readiness assessment is a
general approach to facilitate this decision-making process.
The presented study focuses on the development of an assessment framework for cloud services (SaaS) in the domain of enterprise content management (ECM) and social software (ecollaboration).

3. 1. OVERVIEW OF THE VIETNAM ICT MARKET
1.1 . Industry Overview
Vietnam’s strong economic growth, ongoing economic reforms, and a large young
population combine to create a strong demand for new technology.
This, alongside the country’s accession into the WTO early in 2007 has increasingly
attracted foreign direct investment into the country, significantly increasing the
communication needs of enterprises being set up.
The Vietnamese government has a strong commitment to develop its ICT industry
particularly in software production, internet infrastructure, IT education promotion and
human resources development. Telecommunications and related industries are currently
among of the fastest growing areas, and Vietnam's telecommunications sector was rated
by the International Telecommunication Union as the second fastest growing market in
the world after China.
Series of software industrial zones were established in many provinces especially in big
cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Many big international electronic and
telecommunications groups have invested in Vietnam such as Alcatel, Siemens, NEC,
LG, Canon and others.
ICT applications are now implemented in economic, social, management, manufacturing
activities and in all public and private sectors, individual and organization, society and
family.
Besides that, ICT human resources (HRs) for application and development are
enhancing in both quality and quantity, structure of human resources has been changed
to increase high quality and new technology labor. Vietnam ICT Industry consists of
Telecommunication Industry, Software Industry, Hardware industry and Digital Content
Industry.
1
4. Brief on the achievements of ICT sector of Vietnam:
ICT human resources have been sharply increasing in quantity and its
quality has improved
- A sharp increase in the number of universities and colleges offering
ICT training, from 192 in 2006 to 277 in 2010
- Human resource nearly doubled during 5 years, from 150,000 in 2006
to 250,000 in 2010, recording an average growth of 13% - 18% per
year
- Average wage increased over 20% per year, especially digital content
industry increased from US$2,820/year (2006) to US$ 4,896/year in
2010

6. 1.2. Market Snapshot
The Vietnamese IT market also can be segmented into three sectors: hardware,
software and services. The IT hardware market encompasses IT equipment and
devices, ranging from desktops, laptops, servers to all computer components and
peripherals. The IT software market includes a wide variety of software, including office
software, operating systems, anti-virus software, Internet software, graphic design
software, and network and enterprise software. The IT service market comprises
personal computer services (rental, repair, maintenance, system consultancy and
design) and IT training.
In 2006, The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) listed Vietnam’s ICT market
as one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Vietnam has a population of 84
million but only around 10 percent of the population possesses mobile phones.
However, in the year of 2007, there was a 70 percent growth in total number of people
possessing mobile phones, showing the huge potential of the Vietnam ICT market.
What’s more, with Vietnam’s entry to World Trade Organization (WTO) since January
2007, foreign investors are allowed to hold a maximum of 49 percent share of a joint
venture company in the telecom industry.
Overseas enterprises therefore can penetrate the Vietnam ICT market by forming joint
ventures with local enterprises, which will undoubtedly accelerate the development of
the Vietnam ICT market and connections to the international market more effectively.
1.3. Government Strategies
In October 2010, Vietnam Ministry of Information and Communications is expected to
complete a Government strategy to upgrade the country’s information technology (IT)
infrastructure by 2020. The strategy is aimed to increase total revenue of the IT sector
as a percentage of GDP from between 17 to 20 percent and, in the long-term, increase
the information communication sector’s contribution to the GDP to between 20 and 23
percent.
4
7. The ministry has outlined six phases of implementation:
To continue developing and improving telecommunications infrastructure;
To extend access to telephones, audio-visual equipment and computer
systems nationwide;
To develop IT applications in State-run agencies;
To develop IT solutions that serve the daily needs of the people: to
develop an IT-skills base in the labour market: and to support
international IT cooperation.
1.3.1. Goal and Objective to 2020

6. SOFTWARE INDUSTRY IN VIETNAM
The Software Industry is an important industry of the Information Technology (IT).
The Software Industry includes activities of manufacturing, trading and providing
software services. The software industry is a new economic branch with high added
value and great prospect. In addition Vietnam’s software market is developing rapidly
and is offering good investment potential for investors.
Vietnam’s software industry has been growing 35 percent annually in the last 10
years. The revenue of this market reached to US$1,064 million in 2010 and exported
US$340 million in 2009. Currently, Vietnam has more than 1,000 software
companies employing about 71,814 people; and over 200 companies, with average
size of 150-200 employees, engaged in software outsourcing services. There were
two businesses that achieved CMMI level 5 certification, and dozens of companies
have CMM-4, CMM or ISO-9001-3. There are some companies with more than 1000
employees, such as FPT software, FPT Information Systems, TMA, PSV, etc.
Software applications focused on electronic entertainment, value-added services on
the Internet and mobile networks are the current focus.
Vietnam is emerging as destination for software outsourcing. Vietnam is now one of
the 10 most attractive global services location in the world. Many reports noted that
Vietnam's software processing industry is growing rapidly. Vietnam's position was
13
16. 8/50 in leading locations for software processing according to the report of
Offshoring Opportunities of A.T.Kearney (increased 2 grade against 2009 and 11
grade against 2007). Vietnam is emerging as the destination for the software
outsourcing: Gartner selects Vietnam in 10 leading locations for offshore services in
Asia/Pacific and Japan region in 2010; A.T. Kearney lists Vietnam is the top 10 for
Global Services Location Index of 2009; KPMG selects HCM City as location to
watch for the next outsourcing boom (Feb 2009); Tholons (2007, 2008, 2009) selects
HCM City in the top 10 of emerging market for software outsourcing.
Vietnam was the first choice of Japanese companies seeking foreign partners for
software outsourcing orders, according to a survey by the Japan Information
Technology Services Industry Association in 2009.
14
18. Local software businesses perform all kind of software outsourcing services, but
most orders they receive are related to software testing and data entry. Specialist in
this field actually wanted high-level orders, but the country's current capacity does
not allow them that. According to the government’s software outsourcing industry
development goals, the industry will achieve a 35-40 percent growth rate with sales
of US$800 million per year in 2010. The goal aims to make Vietnam one of the 15
most developed software outsourcing industries in the world.
A Decision was issued by Prime Minister 50/2009/QD-TTg on 4/29/2009,
"Regulation on Management & Development Program of the software industry and
the development program of the digital content industry in Vietnam" in order to
remove obstacles and promote the implementation of development programs and
software. According to the latest report of IMT Solutions Company, one of the
leading ICT services companies in Vietnam, Vietnam is now in the top 3 fastest
growing telecom market in Asia. The key players in telecom industry are Vinaphone,
Viettel, Mobilephone. Its revenue reached to US$6.87 billion with growth rate of 33
per cent in 2009.
7. HUMAN RESOURCE IN VIETNAM ICT
Even though Vietnam's ICT industry is growing at the rapid rate, the challenge is the
human resources shortage in the field. According to the government, Vietnam would
spend about VND900 billion (US$50.54 million) on training human resources of IT in
the period 2011 - 2015. By 2015, Vietnam expects to have 600,000 IT experts, and
the figure is expected to be up to one million in 2020.
However, as the graph below showed, the number of the schools stayed the same in
2008 and 2009 and increased slightly in 2010; while number of students enrollment
is continuously increased year by year.

19. Source: Vietnam ICT, Whitebook 2011
Vietnamese Government also has programs, plans to develop the human resources in
ICT sector such as Plan on development of Vietnam’s Information Technology Human
Resources up to 2020 or The master plan on development of Information Technology
Human Resources to 2015 and orientations towards 2020 by Prime Minister.
Government’s HR development plan aims to have 1 million IT workforce by 2020, 80 per
cent of IT graduates will be well trained in profession and language to meet the
international standard. Vietnam will continue to open for foreign training centers and
universities to set up in Vietnam to address the growing market.

20. 8. OPPORUNITIES FOR MALAYSIAN EXPORTERS
8.1. Observations and Opportunities for Malaysian Exporters
Vietnam is one of the fastest growing ICT markets. The Vietnamese IT market is
estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% over the 2011-
2015 period as per BMI’s estimate. According to the government, Vietnam will spend
about VND900 billion (US$50.54 million) on training human resources of IT in the next
five years. By 2015, Vietnam expects to have 600,000 IT experts, and the figure is
expected to be up to one million in 2020.
Vietnamese Government also set up the development plan of its ICT sector with the
vision of 2015 and 2020. With a young and dynamic population, competitive costs and a
strong encouragement and motivation from Vietnamese Government to develop its ICT
industry, Vietnam is making favourable conditions for foreign investors in this sector.
Malaysian investors should consider to explore this potential market.
Compared to other developed market in Asean, Vietnam is one of the most attractive,
especially its IT outsourcing. Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh is in the list of top 50 emerging
global outsourcing cities. Ho Chi Minh City ranked 6th and Hanoi City ranked 11th in the
IT outsourcing in 2010. Ho Chi Minh City is recognized as the established global
outsourcing city for Product Development and Software Testing.
Vietnam was the first choice of Japanese companies seeking foreign partners for
software outsourcing orders, according to a survey by the Japan Information Technology
Services Industry Association in 2010. Software services and digital content industry
including mobile equipment, e-newspaper, online databases, and online games are
forecasted to be the fastest growing areas.
Furthermore, with the strong reform strategies proposed by the government, not only the
state owned enterprises and government agencies are bound to apply IT in
management in order to improve their efficiency, but also local businesses are strongly
18
21. increasing its need for IT solutions to improve business process and operation
efficiency.
Products of ICT sector are always in the top ten of items that Vietnam imports annually.
And Malaysia is also in the top of countries that Vietnam has imported a big value of ICT
products from, especially Computers, electronic products, parts and accessories. In
recent years, Vietnam imported ICT products mainly from China, Singapore, Japan,
Malaysia.
After the economic recession of the last two years, Vietnamese consumers are now
more confident about their personal future finances. It can be clearly seen that
telecommunications is booming in big cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, with
the introduction of more advanced phones, mobile software and attractive plans from
operators.
Moreover, “Made in Malaysia” electronic products are popularly displaying at many
electronic supermarkets. The quality of these products are evaluated relatively high by
Vietnamese consumers. This will be a great opportunity for Malaysian exporters to
further promote its ICT products to Vietnamese market.

http://www.doingbusiness.org/~/media/fpdkm/doing%20business/documents/profiles
/country/VNM.pdf
10.4 Vietnam Challenges
Even with the fast pace growth in the ICT sector, Vietnam still faces some serious
challenges. Among them:
a) Vietnam's IT industry is hardware-focused, largely due to widespread
software piracy, and the lack of effective intellectual property protection in the
country. The Business Software Alliance put Vietnam's software piracy rate last
year at 90 percent.
b) Vietnamese companies gain greater awareness of the need for security.
The market needs to be educated on the importance of security and availability.
The sense of technical discipline is not as good as it should be.
c) The need to improve companies' access to capital. Vietnam unlike much
of SE Asia has good access to venture capital but capitalization of many IT
companies in Vietnam is limited.
d) Firms also need to spend more time on specializing in specific areas of
software development, and it has been suggested that they increase advertising
budgets in order to build relationships with larger companies.
27
30. e) Vietnam needs other institutions to support the market, including
insurance, security, co-author and technology consultancy firms.
f) Corruption and bureaucracy in investment and basic capital construction
could also be considered as a serious challenge to the technology market.
11. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Orientations for international cooperation in ICT
The process of international economic integration, along with rapid technological
development, have brought about significant challenges for the ICT sector in Viet
Nam. These trends, on the other hand, have also created growing opportunities,
through which the ICT sector can declare its important role as one of the top-
prioritized economic and technical sectors that makes tremendous contributions
to the industrialization and modernization process of Viet Nam. Attracting foreign
investments in terms of capital and technology through international cooperation
has been identified as one of the most effective and time-efficient approaches to
stimulating domestic potential. This approach has been gradually realized and
concretized by the Government through the establishment of an open and
transparent legal framework, which ensures a more favorable investment
environment for foreign investors in the area of ICT, particularly through:
Developing and promulgating a series of legal documents and policies (the
Telecommunications Law, Postal Law, Frequency Law, Information Technology
Law, etc.) favorable for investment and business activities;
Implementing market liberalizing commitments of the ICT sector in WTO, ASEAN
and other free trade and investment agreements with a goal to create a
competive market for both domestic and foreign enterprises, which is regulated
on non-discriminatory basis.
Developing long-term orientations and development strategies: The Government
has approved the project on “Transforming Viet Nam into an advanced ICT
28
31. country”; bringing ICT development plans into the National Targeted Programs;
building 2011-2015 development plan to include investment priorities for
broadcasting areas in the pilot provinces.
The major development policies and strategies of Viet Nam’s ICT sector are
widely believed to have been attracting foreign investments in the ICT area and
creating more opportunities for enterprises to participate in the potential market
with a population of nearly 90 million. One of the key and comprehensive
missions in the next ten years aiming to improve Viet Nam’s ICT global ranking is
to implement of the project “Transforming Viet Nam into an advanced ICT
country”. To bring into practice the missions outlined in the project, the
orientations for international cooperation activities have been identified as
following:
a) To enhance the promotion of Viet Nam ICT though international cooperation
activities:
- Organize international relation activities to popularize the major ICT
policies and strategies, thereby, affirm the determination, capacity and
potentiality of Viet Nam’s ICT sector to the world;

and activities to enhance the status of the Viet Nam ICT sector, in
addition to taking every opportunity to introduce Viet Nam ICT to the
world;
- Coordinate with the concerned agencies, through diplomatic and trade
channels, to promote the national ICT brand names of Viet Nam;
- Through the various promotion activities, to exchange information and
international experiences to improve the management and business
methodologies in the ICT sector, as well as to change the public
awareness toward the role of ICT in the socio-economic development.
b) To focus on investment cooperation to develop IT industry, develop IT and
telecommunication infrastructures, promote IT applications in all walks of life and
support information universalization to all households:
29
32.
33. - Develop legal documents on external economics to attract the
international resources: management and mobilization international aid,
PPP model, supporting policies for enterprises going oversea;
- Organize activities to promote investment and technology transfer for the
development of ICT industry, ICT infrastructure, IT application and e-
Government;
- Explore and implement the effective cooperation models in ICT sector;
- Call for sponsorship and technical assistance to bring information to the
localities through the bilateral and multilateral cooperation;
- Continue strengthening the bilateral relations and investment activities in
traditional markets;
- Actively support the software enterprises in looking for business
opportunities in the new and potential markets.
c) To promote the cooperation in human resources training and ICT Research
and Development:

programs to enhance and improve the ICT human resources with high
qualifications and programming skills (especially utilize the ongoing
collaboration with Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and USTDA).
- Promote exchange programs among the management agencies and
academic institutions to train the ICT staff and apply on-the-job training in
the implementation of the corporate and pilot projects.
- Cooperate with enterprises and research institutes in the forms of joint
venture, joint research programs, etc. to strengthen research capacity in
