[Research Contribution] From Connectivity Bottlenecks to a Multi-Experience Connected City: Repositioning Dong Nai’s Brand in the Southern Key Economic Region

07 May 2026

In the context of increasingly intense inter-urban competition, Dong Nai – a strategic gateway to the Southern Key Economic Region – is striving to reposition its urban brand through an integrated governance approach. Possessing the Long Thanh International Airport, an inter-regional transport infrastructure system, industrial parks, and abundant ecological resources, Dong Nai nevertheless faces a challenge: its disparate advantages have yet to be connected into a cohesive urban identity that can attract residents and transform transit passengers into diverse experiences. Research conducted by a group of authors from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) applies the Integrated Implementation City Branding Framework (IICBF) to analyze and propose a multi-experience urban development strategy, transforming Dong Nai from a transit point into an economically, touristically, and culturally attractive destination in the Southern region.

In response to this reality, a research team from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) analyzed data from 11,535 firms across 69 countries from 2007 to 2019, revealing that when ESG reputational risk increases, firms tend to raise dividend payouts as a tool to stabilize market confidence. Specifically, a one-standard-deviation increase in ESG reputational risk corresponds to a 2.5% increase in the payout ratio.
