Changes in the training process: None 7. Thesis topic name: Completing the management process of scientific research topics at the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City through the application of the 6 Sigma management model 8. Major: Science and Technology Management; Code: 60.34.72 9. Scientific supervisor: Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Ngoc Thanh, Faculty of Management Science, Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities 10. Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis has achieved the following main results: - Clarifying the theoretical basis of the scientific research project management process; the main issues of the 6 Sigma management model and the ability to apply it to perfect the scientific research project management process. - Assessing the current status of scientific research project management at the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City according to the current process. The current status of scientific research project management over the past years shows that the current process still has limitations that need to be overcome. The most obvious limitations are the rigid administrative nature and the unreasonable participation and commitment level of related components. - Clearly explaining the solution to apply the Six Sigma model to perfect the scientific research project management process in Ho Chi Minh City. Six Sigma is inherently an advanced management solution, which has been widely applied in the field of economic management. The current process of managing scientific research topics applies the quality management model according to ISO standards, but it has also revealed certain limitations. We can effectively combine Six Sigma and ISO. The review of the application of Six Sigma shows the suitability and effectiveness of applying the DMAIC process to detect the root causes of fluctuations, correct errors and improve and enhance the management efficiency of scientific research topics in the current situation. - The thesis also points out the necessary factors to ensure the success of applying the Six Sigma model such as the operating mechanism and support policies (input - output management, coordination, supervision, sanctions, responsibilities, etc.). Support mechanisms and policies are necessary and are conditions for the process to operate smoothly and achieve quality, achieving the set goals. 11. Practical applicability: Application at the Department of Science and Technology 12. Further research directions: Through studying the management process of scientific research topics at the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, the author proposes that in the coming time, it is necessary to focus on the following three issues: In order to bring science and technology deeply and widely into economic and social life, it is necessary to continue to perfect the overall management process up to the stage of application and evaluation of the practical application effectiveness of scientific research topics, not just stopping at the acceptance and reception of research results as at present. It is necessary to have research to adjust and supplement the legal basis to create conditions for scientific and technological activities in general, and management work in particular, to achieve higher effectiveness and efficiency, in accordance with the reality and specific requirements of this labor force. Through research on the application of Six Sigma, if conditions permit, together with the commitment of the unit's leaders, we can conduct research to establish a specific Six Sigma project for the management process of scientific research topics 13.

Summary results of the thesis: The thesis has achieved major results are as follows: - To clarify the theoretical basis of the management process of scientific research; the key issues of six sigma management model and the ability to manipulate the process to improve the management of scientific research . - Assess the current status of management research scientist at the Department of Science and Technology Ho Chi Minh City under the current process. Status of management of scientific research for many years has shown that there is still a need to overcome certain limitations. The most obvious drawback is its administrative rigidity and ability to participate, the level of commitment of the components involved is not reasonable. - Interpretation the clear solution for applying Six Sigma model to improve management processes of scientific research in Ho Chi Minh City. Six Sigma model is inherently an advanced management solution, has been widely applied in the field of economic management. Process management of scientific research are applied to current models of quality management standards ISO, but also revealed certain limitations. We can combine Six Sigma and ISO performance. The consideration of applying Six Sigma promises the relevance and effectiveness of the application of DMAIC process to discover the root causes of variation and improve, leverage management efficiency of research science in current situation. - The thesis also specifies the factors necessary to ensure the success of the application of Six Sigma model as operational mechanism and policy support (input – output management, coordination, supervision and sanctions and responsibilities ...). The mechanisms and policies are needed to support and process conditions for the smooth operation and quality, achieving the set objectives. 11. Feasibility: Applications at Science and Technology Department of Ho Chi Minh City. 12. Further research directions (if any): By studying the process of managing research scientist at the Department of Science and Technology Ho Chi Minh City, the author proposes three issues that should be focused in the future: - in order to help science and technology to penetrate deeply into the economic life - society, there's a need to continue to improve the general procedures to process applications and assess the effect on the actual application of the scientific research, not just at the hand-over and receiving the results of research as present. - Research is essential in order to adjust and supplement the legal basis to create conditions for scientific activities and technology in general and in particular the management to achieve effective, more efficient, consistent with practical and specific needs of these works. - In studies of applying Six Sigma, if conditions allow, with the commitment of unit leaders, we can perform further research as creating Specific Six Sigma project in response to process management of scientific research. 13.
