I have been teaching in Vietnam for 23 years in the Solvay programs and particularly the MBA. I have been personally the witness of the changes in the country economy and society and in the evolution of the expertise and ambitions of the young promising Vietnamese managers. Today they are very open to the world, aware of the enhancements of the country and of the challenges to come in the future. Our role at Solvay Vietnam is to further provide to our students very high quality up-to- date management education and to bring the most recent evolutions in management thinking and practice. In each of our course our goal is also to develop the soft skills of all our students from presentation to negotiation and motivation of the teams and colleagues. Each teacher of our international Faculty is highly motivated and demanding towards himself or herself to be each time better. They are also committed to motivate each student to let them express their potential and prove that they can also be very demanding towards herself or himself. I hope that we will make the Solvay Vietnam MBA journey together!

So they all lay upon the ground except the Scarecrow, and he stood up and stretched out his arms. And when the crows saw him they were frightened, as these birds always are by scarecrows, and did not dare to come any nearer. But the King Crow said:

"It is only a stuffed man. I will peck his eyes out."

I do not mean that the adult Martians are unnecessarily or intentionally cruel to the young, but theirs is a hard and pitiless struggle for existence upon a dying planet, the natural resources of which have dwindled to a point where the support of each additional life means an added tax upon the community into which it is thrown.

There is, one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath; like those fabled undulations of the Ephesian sod over the buried Evangelist St. John.
