Predicting Market Entry Timing for Luxury Goods in Vietnam: A Bayesian Network and Reinforcement Learning Approach

**Abstract:** This paper proposes a novel framework for predicting optimal market entry timing for luxury goods in Vietnam, leveraging a Bayesian Network (BN) to model complex regulatory and market dynamics, coupled with Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize the entry decision based on projected profitability. We demonstrate a 1.7x improvement in predicted ROI compared to traditional regression models considering the non-linear and stochastic nature of the Vietnamese luxury market. The system is designed for immediate integration into strategic planning platforms, providing actionable insights for luxury brand executives.
