Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in Viet Nam, especially in the Vietnamese economy. In Viet Nam, a developing country, the process of globalization brings many chances for businesses. However, many Vietnamese companies, especially more than 97% of SMEs are facing to some challenges such as the competitiveness of SMEs in the market, the lack of information technology, the challenge of shortage of high-quality human resources, employee management, and sustainable business. With the dramatically developing of multimedia and networking, it creates a new environment to meet the requirement for human learnings needs. The new and innovative method of getting education everywhere and every time is E-learning. E-learning can offer potential benefits in learning, make high–quality and cost-effective in training for many people; therefore, it can help SMEs achieve their sustainable business goals. E-system concerns with the instructors, learners, workers and employers who use the laptops or computers to surf the websites to facilitate and update their work. The primary advantages of e-learning consist of learning anytime and anywhere by accessing the Internet, cost reductions, flexibility and more effectiveness. In order to explore the role of e-learning in sustainable business as a novel way of boosting the development in Vietnamese SMEs, this paper first summarizes key concepts in the field of e-learning, sustainable business, Vietnamese SMEs. Then, go on to describe the impact of e-learning in sustainable business, and its particular relevance in SMEs. Finally, we investigate the practice elearning in Vietnamese SMEs and gives some recommendations to help Vietnamese SMEs get success in applying e-learning in their sustainable business objectives.
