10. Summary of the thesis results:

This thesis focuses on the concepts of autonomy and accountability, and their relationship with science and technology organizations, the market, and human resources. Simultaneously, the thesis presents several models of autonomy and accountability in Vietnam that have occurred throughout different historical periods, particularly the strong emphasis on autonomy within science and technology organizations in the Republic of Vietnam before 1975. Currently, public science and technology organizations in Vietnam are gradually transitioning to this autonomous stage, but the transition faces numerous challenges related to organizational direction, lack of a market leading to financial difficulties, organizational and personnel issues, human resource quality, and insufficient investment in high technology. However, the thesis particularly highlights the success of some public science and technology organizations in transitioning to an autonomous mechanism; they have succeeded. The main reason is that they have a market, creating a very good market for themselves and offering products and services to that market. The market is considered a decisive factor in this transformation because it is thanks to the market that they generate financial resources and have the autonomy to recruit staff and personnel for their work. The source of finance under the autonomous system is the presence of a market.

11. Practical applicability: This application contributes to the improvement of Decree 115/2005/ND-CP and serves as a lesson for units undergoing transformation towards autonomy and self-responsibility.

Thesis mainly researches on the concept of autonomy, self-responsibility and relationship between autonomy, self-responsibility with science – technology organizations, market and human resources.
