11. Summary of new results of the thesis

First of all, this is the first in-depth research work in Vietnam on policies to promote the commercialization of research and development results according to the market-pull approach in the period 2005-2018. The work hopes to provide a new and systematic approach in developing policies to promote the commercialization of research and development results in Vietnam, which is of important and urgent significance in the context of Vietnam's deeper international integration and the fourth scientific and technological revolution becoming vibrant on a global scale.

Second, in terms of theory, the thesis has summarized the formation and development of policies on commercialization of research results and implementation in countries from domestic and foreign research works, and at the same time clarified the theoretical basis of policies to promote commercialization of research results according to the market-pull approach.

Third, the thesis describes and analyzes the current status of national policies to promote the commercialization of R&D results in Vietnam in the period 2005-2018, clarifying the advantages and disadvantages of policies to promote the commercialization of research and development results in Vietnam today.

Finally, the thesis proposes a national policy framework for commercializing research results according to the market-pull approach, in line with the world's development trends and Vietnam's science and technology development practices, including three main scenarios: Scenario 1 - innovating policies for implementing research and development according to technology market orders; Scenario 2 - perfecting policies for institutionalizing transactions in the technology market, including forming and developing intermediary institutions according to the needs and regulations of the technology market; Scenario 3 - strengthening preferential policies to support businesses in using research and development results in technological innovation and product innovation.

12. Practical application

The thesis has reference value, meeting theoretical and practical requirements for state management to promote the implementation and innovation of science and technology in the coming time in Vietnam, as well as for teaching and research at management science training institutions.

13. Further research directions

Policy to promote commercialization of research and development results in the fourth scientific and technological revolution.

11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

Firstly, this is the first in-depth study in Vietnam on the policy of promoting the commercialization of research and development (R&D) results by pull-market approach in the period of 2005-2018. The thesis is expected to give a new and systematic approach to develop policies that promote the commercialization of R&D results in Vietnam, which plays an important and urgent role in the context of Vietnam's deeper-participation on international integration and also the fourth science and technology revolution becomes more vibrant globally.

Secondly, theoretically, the thesis summarizes the formation and development of R&D results commercialization policies (national policies) from domestic and foreign research, as at the same time the thesis clarifies the theoretical basis of policies to promote the commercialization of research results according to the pull market approach.

Thirdly, the thesis describes and analyzes the current state of national policy to promote Vietnam's commercial R&D results in the period 2005-2018, as well as clarifies the advantages and disadvantages of policies to promote the commercialization of R&D results in Vietnam today.
