The following news references offer an excellent account of Park Hyatt Saigon’s boardroom fight. If you care about corporate law, corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, this is a must-know case study. If you do decide to read, you must read ALL of the sources. This is because they offer diverse, even contradicting, perspectives, something you rarely see in Vietnamese media. Also, this is an on-going case, so make sure you keep up with new development.

We would expect to see more future boardroom showdown in Vietnam as we join the capitalist game. Most importantly, if you want to start a company in any fields including technology, please be extremely careful about a/ handling legal matters and b/ forming board of directors and the executive team. It can make or break your company. Example? Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was kicked out by his chosen CEO in a boardroom showdown. This was many years ago, and Steve Jobs made an amazing comeback and is bringing Apple to new record. But the result of most boardroom scandals is quite nasty and irreversible. As analogy, just imagine what would happen to your body if your brain breaks down?

Now, let’s dive into the saga!
