Abstract

Universities play a crucial role in training and educating future businesspeople to comprehend sustainable thinking holistically. This demonstrates the importance of preparing the next businesspeople about students’ factual knowledge, practical skills, and responsibility towards sustainability. The aim of this research is to identify economic students, think about corporate strategy planning towards sustainability, and understand and reconcile the different sustainability perspectives. This study examined 534 economic students’ ideas in Can Tho City, Vietnam, and 102 scholars, opinions (international and local scholars and transporter/logistics) toward sustainable business practices. It was revealed that students in general are highly aware of the principles of sustainable development, ready to implement them in practice during business planning, and some aspects are even more important than experts. With the help of matrices of factor analysis four alternative realistic patterns of corporate strategies for sustainable development, with appropriate recommendations for their implementation were compiled. They can serve as a basis for decision-making by current and future entrepreneurs in the formation of their own business plans.

大学在培训和教育未来的商人以全面理解可持续思维方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这表明了培养下一代商人的重要性，让他们了解学生的事实知识、实践技能和对可持续发展的责任。本研究的目的是识别经济专业学生，思考企业可持续发展战略规划，并理解和调和不同的可持续发展观点。本研究调查了越南芹苴市534名经济学专业学生的想法，以及102名学者(国际和本地学者以及运输/物流)对可持续商业实践的看法。据透露，学生们普遍对可持续发展的原则有很高的认识，并在商业规划中准备将其付诸实践，有些方面甚至比专家更重要。在因素分析矩阵的帮助下，编制了可持续发展公司战略的四种可供选择的现实模式，并为其执行提出了适当的建议。它们可以作为当前和未来的企业家在制定自己的商业计划时的决策基础。
