And, why does competitiveness have important role in economy? According to the Reports of the National Council for Competitiveness and Development (2006); Competitiveness, as the ability to maintain and improve the standards of living in a country, advance the business environment, strengthen employment, cohesion, environmental protection, and to constantly upgrade productivity and increase market shares in a globalize context Thus, when Vietnam becomes a member of WTO, competitiveness is the key to the further economic success Recently, Vietnam's Government focuses on • efficiency to enhance the national competitiveness of Vietnam as well as provinces That is why more and more Vietnam has become an attractive destination for foreign investors However, investors still complain about complicated procedures (vietnamnet.vn (2006)) It is because they have to spend a lot of times and costs for overlapping law, regulation, and bureaucratic official staff And, they have to lose a lot of transaction cost before they get anything So, what is • transaction cost? How is its role in modern social? And whether a reduction in transaction cost and an increase in competitiveness is a really urgent demand?
