1 INTRODUCTION 1. Research background Innovation has long been dissused in economic studies as one of the main driving forces of economic growth and development. Unlike traditional economic development models, innovation- based development is expected to bring sustainability to the economy thanks to its ability to increase productivity, have strong spillover effects and maintain long term growth. In the context of globalization and the rapid industrial revolution 4.0, the role of innovation becomes even more preeminent since only through innovation that technological advances be developped and spread quickly. Also through innovation, economic organizations increase their ability to adapt and elaborate solutions to meet increasingly rapid changes in technology, environment, economy and society. In the development process, the business community is seen as the place where innovation originates, implements, spreads and be effectively exploited in many different aspects. Not only contributing to firms’ revenue and profits (Klomp and Van Leeuwen, 2001; Colombelli, Haned and Le Bas, 2013; Woltjer et al., 2021), innovation activities also help businesses to increase productivity (Parisi, Schiantarelli and Sembenelli, 2006; Morris, 2018) and access larger markets (Becker and Egger, 2013; Azar and Ciabuschi, 2017). In the context of increasingly fierce competitive pressure , not only domestically but also on international market, while technology life-cycles are getting shorter, businesses are forced to innovate continuously and in all aspects to become different and achieve higher performance. Combining a variety of innovation activities or implementing multifaceted innovation has been suggested by several studies as an option which allow businesses to outperform non-innovators and businesses that carry out single innovation (Polder et al., 2010; Tavassoli and Karlsson, 2015). In Vietnam, after nearly forty years of economic reform, the country has reached impressive achievements in economic and social development. However, available natural advantages such as abundant labor, diverse natural resources, favorable geographical conditions... are not enough to realize the goal of making Vietnam a developed, high-income country by 2045. Along with the change in growth strategy, the Vietnam Socio-Economic Development Strategy for the period 2011 - 2020 as well as The socio-economic development strategy for the period 2021 - 2030 emphasizes the role of science and technology and innovation as an important driving force of economic growth. Improving innovation capacity has become urgent so that businesses can enhance their position in the global integration process. Using advanced and modern technology in production will create quality products while increasing productivity, thereby creating high and sustainable competitiveness for Vietnamese businesses and the entire economy.
