ABSTRACT:
Innovation has become a critical driver of business management effectiveness in the context of digital transformation, international integration, and increasingly dynamic competition. In Vietnam, enterprises are under growing pressure to improve productivity, enhance customer value, optimize resources, and adapt to rapid technological and market changes. This article examines the role of innovation in enhancing business management effectiveness in Vietnamese enterprises. Drawing on both English-language and Vietnamese-language literature, policy documents, and practical observations, the paper analyzes innovation as a multidimensional process that includes technological innovation, product and service innovation, process innovation, management innovation, business model innovation, and human resource innovation. The findings indicate that innovation improves management effectiveness by strengthening data-based decision-making, increasing operational efficiency, supporting organizational flexibility, improving customer satisfaction, reducing costs, and enhancing competitive advantage. However, Vietnamese enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, still face barriers related to finance, human resources, digital capability, managerial mindset, innovation culture, and weak linkages with universities and research institutions. The article proposes recommendations for enterprises, policymakers, and education and training institutions to strengthen innovation capacity and improve management effectiveness in Vietnamese enterprises.
