Abstract
The word “management”, before being used with regard to the government of private enterprises, commonly referred to the arrangements based on precise measurements and calculations for regularizing behavior. The engineers who claimed to be practicing scientific management at the turning point between the 19th and 20th centuries organized industrial labor by applying purportedly objective arrangements. The scope of what could conceivably be “arranged” started changing; not only were facts arranged, but the “arrangements” themselves too. Modern theorists of management have extended the application of managerial arrangements to the social structure of organizations and the subjectivity of individuals . By concentrating on the principle of “organization”, they have shown how import ant the “logic of arrangements” is for conceiving of the administration of firms. T hey have unconsciously paid their debt toward the authors of books on farms an d house hold “management” during the 19th century.

The introduction of international practices in Vietnam's management seems to stumble on some cultural behavior. Rather than examine a hypothetical change in values, it is to understand the idea that actors have of the place of the individual and his relation to others in the Vietnamese context. From a comparison line by line of a code of business ethics and its Vietnamese translation, we will highlight in this article two very different conceptions of the relationship to the world and good governance. It is from this understanding of the differences between these two cultural worlds that companies could adapt their management practices to local conditions.
