“Digital Society”: History, Nature, Overall Model, Problems
In Leadership, Management and Study
on Vietnamese Society Today
“Digital society” is not a prospect but a reality, a scientific concept but a
very new perspective and concept in both research and practice on this topic
on the international and Vietnamese level. Loo» up the keyword “digital
society” on Google Scholar, ranked by relevance, selected from 2015 to now,
there are 16,900 results containing this term, but most of them are daily
articles, a few are specialized books. survey, scientific articles. In the same
way, with the keyword “Vietnam digital society” (0 results are found), the
keyword “digital society”, “digital society” is also not satisfactory (very few,
there is not even any related article) except for a few rather simple articles,
translated,... published in the press, media of Vietnam.
The recent survey results of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (VCCI) are noteworthy when half of Vietnamese enterprises are
aware that the industrial revolution 4.0 will not affect businesses, 31.1 % of
enterprises have yet to do anything to keep up with the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 [8].

In terms of management, research on policies, policies and recent
national policies on science and technology development, proactively
adapting to the 4th industrial revolution as well as the digital transformation
program. Vietnam’s country to 2025, with orientations to 2030 shows that
state agencies are facing some confusion, reduction, and difficulties, in terms
of “delay” in concept, updating models, building a “digital society” as well
as a systematic scenario in order to adapt to the urgency and challenges
posed by this social change process [2, p. 2-7].
The nature and process of “digital society” go hand in hand with major
milestones in the development history of science and technology in the
world, especially in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In the mid-
1980s, the personal computer was introduced to the public for the first time.
In 1989, the World Wide Web was invented and began to develop strongly in
1994, over the generations as “Web 1.0”, “Web 2.0”, “Web 3.0”. Since 2001,
many very important Internet and technology platforms and services have
been born, such as Wikipedia and iTunes (operated in 2004), LinkedIn and
Skype (established in 2003), Facebook (2004). Reddit, Flickr and Youtobe
(2005), Twitter (2006), smart phones (iphone) introduced in 2007, Instagram
and tablet computers appeared in 2010, Google+ in 2011 [3, p. 2].
From another perspective, according to a recent report by Fujitsu - 1st
information and communication technology (ICT) provider in Japan and 7th
in the world [11], so far there are 4 waves of technology in digital
transformation in the twenty-first century. In particular, the first wave is
digital technologies on the Internet (appearing from the Internet until 2000);
the second wave with digital technologies on mobile Internet platforms (after
2000 to 2010) with 2 characteristics: real-time technology and everywhere,
everywhere; the third wave begins about 5-7 years ago (forecast to be ripe in
2020) with technologies based on the Internet of Things with the
convergence of the real and digital worlds and the fourth will from after
2020, the characteristic of AI technology and robot. According to this
research group, the wave of technology 3 and 4 will strongly affect industry
and society [10, p. 153-154].
When computers around the world began to be widely used, social
researchers marked this as the stage of ICTs (information and
communication technologies) or “cyber technologies”, “information society”
(information society) [12] is the first stage, the foundation of the digital age
and today’s “digital society” (the period “Web 1.0”, the end of the twentieth
century).
Next is the “digitization” phase in the development of the Internet at
Web level (equivalent to the 4th wave of world science and technology), may
be begin in the twenty-first century. During this period, digitization was
6
used in both the media and academic documents, and the term “digital
society” was gradually formed, replacing earlier perceptions and terms, and
at the same time formed, expanding the manifestation of “digital society” in
terms of expression in terms of other related terms such as “digital people”,
“digital culture”, “digital anthropology”, “technical geography number” [3,
p. 11]. Notably, the content of the Declaration on the common vision to build
an information society at the World Summit on Information Society held in
Geneva (December 2003), attracted many senior leaders from the world
attended [13].
So what is “digital society” and what is its nature?
From the perspective of technology scientists, in the Special Report
“Digital Society in Asia”, GSMA - Organization representing the interests of
mobile operators worldwide has defined very important that the Vietnamese
media often refer to.
From the perspective of social researchers, some international views say:
“Digital society” is the connection of things (everything) in society through
the way of digitizing them [9, p. 10]. Also in this work, Simon Lindgren
further discusses, approaching “digital society” as an equation where
“digital society” = digital media + societies. In particular, the society is
influenced by a system of communication tools and basic infrastructure such
as the Internet and social media which are digitized and connected with each
other [9, p. 4].
Another point of view is that “digital society” is the development stage
of society, based on the development of technology, digital systems (AI and
Bigdata), services and systems of utility equipment (electricity smartphones,
computers, labs, tablets, other electronic devices,...) in many different fields
such as education, health, law, social security system [7, p. 11-12].
In Vietnam, there are almost no research works that specifically mention
the topic of “digital society” other than a few pages of newspapers or
translated documents approaching the direction of synthesizing
international concepts in about 1 - 2 years back.
The Department of Computerization (Ministry of Information and
Communications) recently published a number of articles on the online
newspapers which gave some approaches and views on “digital society”. In
a broad sense, it covers all human activities. The main driving force of the
digital society is digital technology, based on the rapid growth of
information and data, changing every aspect of the social organization, from
government, economy to the people. In a narrow sense, including population
and digital culture. In this sense, “digital society”, together with digital
government and the digital economy, form the three pillars of a digital
nation [2].

The Question & Answer about digital transformation book published in
2020 by Ho Tu Bao, Nguyen Nhat Quang and the Department of
Computerization (Ministry of Information and Communications), Nguyen
Huy Dung in perhaps certain amount is about the aspect of digital society.
The work emphasizes that digital society is a human society in a digital
environment, where many digital platforms and services make human life
easier, easier, more jobs, more productive, a safer and more human society,
helping to balance the economy with life [4, p. 296].
Most recently, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 749/QD-TTg
dated June 3, 2020 approving the national digital transformation program to
2025, with a vision to 2030, including 3 pillars (1) digital government, (2)
digital economy and (3) digital society. In which, defining 3 goals and 7 tasks
and solutions to build “digital society”, however, the overall model of
“digital society” is still not really clear. Since then, the article generally
introduces the concept of “digital society” as follows:
From the above approaches and concepts, the essence of digital society is
the qualitative change in the way of social interaction and connection from
the traditional to the method of digital connection (the interconnectedness of
things). In domains and subjects with a need to be digitized in social life
through a thriving, modern, digital and technological infrastructure system,
in line with technology trends of the world.
Among the eight guidelines and policies to actively participate in the 4th
industrial revolution stated in the Politburo’s Resolution 52-NQ/TW dated
on September 27, 2019, led by “new thinking, unification awareness”; or
Decision 74/QD-TTg dated 30/6/2020 by the Prime Minister on national
digital transformation emphasizes “awareness plays a decisive role ... Digital
transformation first is the transformation of awareness”. In order to solve the
challenges of digital and super-smart societies, preparing people for the
digital society (divided into the following four groups) is a crucial task.
As a digital citizen, building a citizen must have certain «knowledge,
understanding and understanding of digital transformation and digital
society; have blatant ideology, consensus to build a digital society and highly
adaptive to a super smart society; practice new standards, culture and
principles of conduct in the digital environment, real space - digital (physical
cyber connection).
People as digital human resources (digital human resources): Digital
society brings new jobs with optimization of labor, increased productivity
and convenience. But it also means a large workforce will be traditionally
replaced by technology and AI. People as entrepreneurs, owners and
administrators in digital businesses. Digital transformation into a new type
of economy - digital economy, doing business in a digitalized environment is
8
becoming a difficult trend to reverse. Therefore, with Vietnam’s trade space
with the world expanding through new-generation free agreements,
entrepreneurs, owners and business administrators themselves need to be
aware of and take action. suitable to adapt to the digital society and business
model with high digital requirements, to avoid mistakes in the digital
transformation strategy in the business (especially mistakes in thinking and
impatient thinking).
People as a contingent of cadres leading, managing and implementing
the digital service, digital government and digital government. The thinking
and capacity of leaders, managers, civil servants and public employees who
need to be knowledgeable, understand thoroughly and motivate, lead the
business, the society must be special emphasis is placed on success and
failure not only in the successful construction of digital government, digital
government, but also the remaining 2 pillars (digital economy and digital
society).
Building institutional sandbox, policies to guide, nurture and promote
digital transformation and form the digital society as well as overcome
defects of this process in Vietnam, in which, pay attention to sandbox data
(data policy, big data law), AI sandbox (AI production, operation and ethics
issues, ...), security and safety sandbox of users in digital space, especially in
sensitive areas of finance - banking, justice, insurance, health, ...
Building institutional and policy sandbox to ensure participation of state
and non-state actors in the digital management process, operate digital
government, digital government in accordance with the nature and
operating principles of model of social and digital social development
management, especially when it comes to building an open data warehouse,
exercising the right to access information and performing public duties can
be deployed in real - digital space.
Building institutional and policy sandbox on the overall model to build
digital society, super smart society in our country. This is a rather lacking
and embarrassing content shown in the national digital transformation
program, in the pillar of “digital society” and has not been published in any
scientific works in our country for 5 years. come back here. Through
researching international works and the practical basis of Vietnam, we
propose an overall model “digital society in Vietnam with a vision to 2030”,
the remaining problem is research, completion and institution:
Firstly, Basis and approach to propose and build a model for Vietnam:
One is that, politically and legally, we base on: (1). Resolution No. 52-
NQ/TW dated September 27, 2019 of the Politburo on a number of policies
and guidelines to actively participate in the 4 Industrial Revolution; (2).
Decision No. 748/QD-TTg dated June 3, 2020 of the Prime Minister
9
approving the “National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with an
orientation to 2030”.
Secondly, the approach and differentiation of the scope of “society” in
“digital society” according to the viewpoint of social researchers. The term
“society” has many approaches with different broad, medium and narrow
scales. However, in this article and for drafting the overall model “Digital
society” of Vietnam, we approach the term “society” in the broadest and
most general sense, the whole field, activities in social life, especially in the
economic, political, cultural and social fields. Thus, the overall model of
“digital society” in Vietnam will have access to the above general pillars,
including “digital economy”, “digital politics”, “digital culture” and “society
number”.
Thirdly, based on the generalized world platform model, especially the
“Digital Society in Asia” model with 3 pillars in the Special Report of GSMA
Intelligence in 2016 and 2020, the model. The whole “digital society” of
Vietnam will also have the inheritance and apply creatively and
appropriately in practice. From the above bases, the overall model of
Vietnam’s “digital society” in the coming period can be outlined including
the following pillars and features:
“Digital politics”, “Digital society” associated with ensuring human
rights, civil rights and the nature of the political regime in Vietnam will be
operated according to the “digital politics” model while “digital society”
with the background. On the one hand, technology and digital media have
made important changes to many core values of freedom, equity, democracy,
social solidarity, social welfare, ... but also contains risks for people. Used as
inciting violence, violence, discrimination, national hatred, deeply divided
religion, gender?, ...
Firstly, “digital society”, “super smart society” brings a comfortable, new
and modern life that has never been seen before but also threatens the most
basic rights and safety of themselves. People in the real world and the digital
world such as cybersecurity, fraud, high-tech crime, privacy, ...
Secondly, “digital society”, “super-smart society” creates a new change
in quality, very quickly, deeply the social value system, social culture and
ethics, many new trends, new methods appear both chaotic and
contradictory, even in conflict in today’s social relations compared to before.
Thirdly, “digital society”, “super smart society” changes social
communication, social interaction and the living environment, the social
environment according to the interaction between virtual - real, “real virtual
reality”, “real hybrid - number”. However, the virtual space and digital
society sometimes make the interaction and social solidarity of family
members, group associations and communities “looser” than ever, or even at
10
risk broken. People feel “lonely” more, deadlocked, tired and more stressed
even though their digital living space and communication, convenient
connection, openness than ever before. On the other hand, it is the comfort
and ease in setting up and interacting socially via cyberspace and in the
virtual world that a part of people, especially the young group, tend to
“delusional” about many things happening. in virtual space; tend to leave,
forget or “trivialize” the noble values of tradition, morality in friendship, real
life, family, parents, children, husband and wife, friends, Fatherland, ...
Fourthly, “digital society”, “super smart society” makes us have to
identify, even re-realize the central elements that make up the concept of
“social development management” inherently Our Party officially
acknowledged for the first time in the Document of the XII National Party
Congress in 2016 in a new perspective, that is: Real-digital development
management space; Social development management tools and methods by
technology and digital; Management object - human - machine, with “AI
society”, “robot society”, ... next to “human society”. Besides, forming new,
“supportive” sciences for the management of social development such as
data science, machine science, artificial intelligence science.
“Digital society” is a topic that has great attraction in researches, is a
relatively new issue, both in the perception and practice of scientists in the
world and Vietnam. From the research, analysis of the secondary document
system, by the method of synthesis, history - logic, comparison, ... the article
has generalized the most basic and fundamental issues about “digital
society” from history, concept, nature, theoretical and practical models to the
scientific contribution to building bases and proposing, outlining the overall
model” digital society in Vietnam. At the same time, it also pointed out 06
groups of big and quite important issues to set out, interested in awareness,
research and practice of leadership and management in Vietnam associated
with the orientation of building a “digital society” loo» to 2030.
