ROLES OF ENGLISH IN CASE TEACHING METHOD FOR ECONOMIC STUDENTS VIA A CASE OF CONSTRUCTING INFRASTRUCTURES FOR industrial clusters (CCN) in Hanoi Vietnam

Abstract

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) (2001) considers industrial cluster as "an industrial concentration with a developed network of industrial links between companies, universities, and research institutes to make improvements".

Different from the above two concepts, Sonobe and Otsuka (2006) consider "Industrial cluster as a geographical concentration of enterprises producing similar or related products in a small area". This concept considers industrial cluster not merely as a concentration of enterprises in a certain area but as a concentration of enterprises producing similar or closely related products.

By using synthesis and inductive methods, observations and experiences from Hanoi Vietnam, authors indicated that Industrial development is a right policy of the State and of the City in order to accelerate the process of industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas and contribute to the transformation of the economic structure and labor structure of the region. To speed up the process of building and developing industrial clusters in the region, it is indispensable to build infrastructure for clusters.

Last but not least, this case study can be approached under a form of a case teaching for economic students with English roles.
