Why is Marketing still the leading group of Top 10 hottest industries nowadays?
Marketing always plays a very important role, deciding the survival of the business. In a competitive and global business environment, more and more businesses realize the importance of a comprehensive and effective marketing strategy. Therefore, the demand for recruiting human resources in Marketing with creative capacity and high adaptability with the change of business environment is huge.
Although the demand for recruiting marketing personnel is very high and constantly increasing, the supply is not enough to meet the market demand, leading to enterprises having to recruit personnel who are not trained in marketing; many graduates of other majors in the field of economics are placed in marketing positions, resulting in low productivity and efficiency. It can be said that the marketing labor in the market is in need of a huge supply, with clearer requirements than output quality and more prestige in training. Seizing this opportunity, marketing has been chosen by many youth as their passion and goal of career development.
Marketing is increasingly asserting an extremely important position in the existence and development of an enterprise, so policies on salary, bonus, remuneration, working conditions and promotion opportunities for the force team in this field is often much higher than the common of many other professions. Yet, many people still do not understand exactly what Marketing is, they often mistakenly believe Marketing is simply distributing leaflets, running ads on websites, making TVC advertisements, etc. Indeed, Marketing is more important and interesting than that. The main task of a marketing staff is to focus on monitoring customer behavior changes, analyzing markets, identifying new opportunities and threats for businesses, buildinging business development strategies, proposing new ideas, analyzing media campaigns, PR campaigns and organizing events etc. towards building a sustainable brand for businesses, not for sales. The positions that Marketing students can start right after graduation are marketing experts; market development specialist, product development, customer care, public relations; specialist in digital marketing and social networking; event organizers and event managers; developing experts and implementing communication programs, etc. In case the students who have own great ideas, strategic thinking, leadership skills take on higher positions such as marketing manager, marketing director, strategic director, sales director etc. is possible.
So what are the basic qualities of a marketing specialist? Characteristics of marketing profession requires flexibility, enthusiasm for the profession, ability to adapt to changes in business environment and sharp strategic thinking. That is only part of the requirement of this profession, if any student who wants to become a good marketing staff must definitely has all these qualities. However, students do not have to worry because there are schools, teachers and those who always inspire the training process, the practical work, together with students’ passion and effort to learn constantly will help them quickly reach their dreams.
Center of Human Resource Forecast and Labor Market Information of City Ho Chi Minh City had an online survey in Vietnam (2018) announcing that “The marketing industry continues leading in 6 fields with the highest demand for recruiting human resources today”. According to many experts in many fields, those who are trained in this discipline and equipped with appropriate skills as well as a passion for careers will be the brightest candidates on the labor market now and in the future./.

Introducing the use of flipped ClassRoom Model
In the trend of regional and world integration of education, finding and applying a new model and teaching method to improve the quality of higher education in Vietnam is becoming an urgent need and is the concern of those who are interested in the career of educating people, from educational management agencies, university leaders to direct lecturers. One of the solutions to improve the quality and standardize the Business Administration training program is to innovate the organization of class models and teaching methods. One of the class models that schools and departments encourages teaching staff to use is the Flipped Classroom Model.
Flipped Classroom is an advanced education model applied based on the development of Elearning technology and modern training methods. With this model, learners focus the lectures online at home. Class time will be for interactive and collaborative activities that reinforce theoretical issues explored. Learners will be proactive in understanding, studying more theory, accessing video lectures, and case studies in the form of video clips at any time, stopping the lecture, taking note and reviewing if needed. Elearning technology helps learners better understand the theory, then be ready to participate in group sessions, confidently discuss in class, and actively do advanced exercises. In addition to the content of self-design, lecturers can use the content of other lecturers and service providers which common in foreign countries. In order for the teaching and learning process to be successful, the Elearning courses must be very methodical and attractive to draw learners’attention without distraction but focusing on learning. Lecturers must manage and evaluate the acquisition of knowledge through small exercises accompanying with the curriculum.
With traditional classes, learners go to school, listen to their lectures and return home to do homework making them passive learners and this form is known as “Low thinking”. At this time, lecturers’ role is to transfer new knowledge and according to Bloom’s thinking ladder, this task is only at lower levels (ie “knowing” and “understanding”), while the learners’ task is to do practical exercises and according to Bloom’s thinking ladder, this task is of high rank (including “application”, “analysis”, ” synthesis ” and “evaluation”), which is not appropriate. Because the higher-level task should have been undertaken by the teacher yet by the learners or by the unprofessional. However, with flipped classes, knowledge-based learning is directed by teachers (through ELearning courses, pre-prepared assignments, and learners’ self-research and studey); learners’ task is to acquire new knowledge and do low-level homework at home. In class, interaction, discussion and sharing knowledge are organized by lecturers. High-level exercises are also conducted in the classroom with lectures’ support, teammates and classmates.
In the Flipped Classroom, learners are centered and time to study theory and doing excersices is at home while class time is for discussing, exploring topics deeply and creating more interesting learning opportunities for learners. At class, learners can actively master the discussions. Flipped Classroom allows teachers to spend more time with each individual, each group of learners who does not understand the lesson or consider issues thoroughly. This helps learners to be more confident and positive and also helps learning and research become more effective. This modern way of learning requires learners to have a lot of mental activities so it is called “High thinking”. At that time, high-level tasks in Bloom’s thinking ladder are performed by both teachers and students. Students are not allowed to sit passively listening decreasing the boredom. The plus point for this method is that learners can learn anytime, anywhere and with any devices connected to the internet such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, etc.
This method of learning is highly feasible for learners who are able to self-study, have discipline and determination. The effectiveness of the method has also been proven for a long time in many countries with strong educational development such as the US, Europe and Australia. In Vietnam, this model is still new. Recently, some lecturers of Faculty of Business Administration of Industrial University of HCM city have applied and had some encouraging results; however, this has shown some limitations in applying one part yet the whole of the flipped classroom model.
However, applying this method in practice has also encountered many difficulties such as: Changing the perception and behavior of lecturers from the role of “transmitting” to “guiding” is probably the biggest barrier for each teacher; Many students are not used to studying under this model; Technology among learners are not equal because of students’ lack access to technology; the Flipped Classroom model cannot be used for all teaching subjects; The specification of each country’s education, each school, as well as the characteristics and skills of learners are different. It takes a lot of time and effort for the lecturers to prepare their lessons; Using other tools to organize learning activities at home and in class requires lecturers to be good at technology and competence in methods; Poor Internet access will disrupt learning at home; Not all learners are interested in this method; Not all lessons are suitable for this method, so it is necessary to have an assessment method that is appropriate to the teaching contents, not too dependent on exams. Lecturers and subject group must have professional meetings to share experiences to build synchronous plans and throughout the school year.
William A. Bartd said “The outstanding teacher knows how to illustrate, the great teacher knows how to inspire.” With the Flipped Class Model, the teacher will illustrate his lecture and idea in the most intuitive and the easiest way to inspire learners./.

The memory of students life
If you have to use 5 adjectives to describe your feelings about the university, what would you say? This’s my answer: Pretty, surprise, excited, passionate and regretful. It sounds too contradictory. But isn’t it.
Pretty! Our school is beautiful. With a countryside girl like me, this is the biggest and the most beautiful school I’ve ever seen since I came to Saigon. To be honest, I took almost 1 hour go around the school on the first day. Although IUH is not the No.1 school in Vietnam but it is the top 10 school about the quality of facilities and education in Vietnam. Thinking about it, I was also proud because I was lucky to head at IUH
But there was a bit of surprise, I was surprised in my first year of university entrance. a new environment, with the new friends, completely unfamiliar knowledge. It makes me feel a bit out of place, nervous and pressure. But it is also the motivation for me to starting specific plans to try and integrate with this place.
As a freshman, I started to feel more interested in IUH. Perhaps the other side of a new environment is curiosity and novelty, so I also tried to catch a better pace, integrate faster, and absorb knowledge more effectively. It is all thanks to the teachers’ closeness and ingenious non-rigid communication. And especially, I started to discover many potential possibilities of myself that I didn’t know before, so I wanted to spend more time studying because I didn’t know before. What about this whole new knowledge.
I feel fortunate to have chosen the right field with my ability and meet enthusiastic and talented teachers, leading students who are as vague as like me into the right way with my abilities, take me out of the safe zone, to the international environment to collide and sharpen my ability. Especially enlighten me about what’s the start-ups, and good people are people who know how to lift others on their wings.
Specifically, the Hult Prize Asia Regional 2019. I was selected as one of the four representatives of the school who proposed and implemented a Hult Prize 2019 start-up project. The feeling of being both happy and afraid, I don’t know should I accept or not. Because this is a good chance for me to try the international environment, but it is also a big pressure for me. Finally, I’m agreed and did not regret that decision, and I felt grateful to the teachers for believing and supporting me so much, help I could achieve the best results in the competition.
After 4 months of focusing on projects, what I learned from the competition is difficult to say. What I like most is the entrepreneurial thinking and spirit learning from friends and teachers. It helps me a lot in work and study
I think any environment will be two-sided, negative and positive. If we cannot change the problem, just look at the positive side to try and develop yourself to love more than where we live and study. Please let yourself be used by society, to be dedicated, so that after you leave school. You don’t have to say the if it is, I feel sorry for myself a bit, but it also makes me think a lot because I did not try harder, learn and try sooner. We don’t need to be better than others. But must definitely be better than yourself yesterday and never give up.
Postscript.
I wish you luck and success.
