However, through the use of technology, businesses can rebuild management and operations to accelerate and create breakthroughs, experts have said.
Nguyen Van Khoa, General Director of FPT, said that COVID-19 has made businesses rethink the role of technology. Many businesses have spent millions of US dollars to improve their management and operational capabilities.
Nguyen Tuan Hong Phuc, Deputy General Director of KPMG Vietnam, said that in addition to investing in technology, companies need to transform the way they operate.
Companies that do not adopt digital transformation will be left behind, he said, adding that many Vietnamese companies have advanced further than their peers in the same industry.
As perceptions of digital transformation change, there has been a positive spillover attributed to promotions run by state agencies, professional organisations and the efforts of enterprises, especially technology firms, of which FPT is an example.
