Impacts of the participation in multi-level marketing business model on the student life of Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

This study focuses on the impacts of the participation in multi-level marketing business model on the student life of Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. To gather information, the team used the interview method (via questionnaire tool) for 60 students participating in multi-level marketing business model at member universities. Collected data is processed through methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, and descriptive statistics. The results indicate that: (1) In terms of material life, the participation in multi-level marketing business model helps students gain additional income, develop their skills, and expand their social relationships. However, if they participate in nefarious companies, they may face the risk of losing their money and other consequences. (2) In terms of moral life, business makes students feel happier. However, the psychology of students is not really comfortable when their learning results go down; the time that they spent on recreation and physical exercise is reduced.
