Abstract

This writing applies the theory of Social Capital to analyze, evaluate and compare the organizational development progress of the two leading economics and management training institutions in Vietnam: The National Economics University (NEU) and The University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Using a multidimensional analysis framework consisting of three core components: Bonding Capital, Bridging Capital, and Linking Capital, the paper clarifies how the two universities accumulated and transformed these non-material resources into core competencies through historical periods from 1956 (for NEU) and 1976 (for UEH University) to the present. In particular, the study tries to analyze the current situation and problems posed in the strategic proximity relationship between the two, a symbolic and structural link of Vietnam's higher education system. The results of the study show that optimizing the network, strengthening organizational trust and reshaping reciprocal norms are the keys to shaping the multidisciplinary position and international integration of both universities in the context of autonomy.
