Research interests

Nhung’s research centres on exploring the essential yet often overlooked intersections between corporate digital responsibility and corporate sustainability in a rapidly digitalising world. As companies shift to digital business models, balancing technological progress with ethical principles has become increasing important. While digital advancements can drive productivity and align with sustainable goals by embedding sustainability into business practices, they can also introduce ethical risks that may undermine stakeholder trust. This evolving focus on corporate digital responsibility highlights how companies can lead responsible digital transformation, shaping a future where innovation and accountability work together to drive sustainable growth.
