INTRODUCTION
1. The urgency of topic
For developing countries with market economies, international economic
integration, export-oriented industrialization (EOI) is the right selection of
industrial strategy. Merchandise exports play a large role for these countries,
contributing to the growth and development of the national economy in general
and local economy in particular, increasing their position in the region and the
world. The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry (EOEPMI)
creates high-tech, advanced and modern products associated with the 4.0
revolution in order to meet the requirements of export-oriented industrialization.
In fact, for many years, Danang (DN) city’s goverment was interested this matter,
but the current situation and position of the industry’s development with
economic scale and efficiency has not met the set targets. How the industry is
developing, whether or not achieving the set goals to be a spearhead industry is
possible, whether there are inadequacies or not, the causes of the current situation
and the future solutions are an urgent issue for the topic of the research.
2. Overview of research situation related to the topic
There is research on to the electronic industry (EI) in this country and
abroad: industrialization policy relating export; some electronic products (EP),
the model of electronics, technology, supporting industries (SI), human
resources; scale production; competing capability, towards EP export and at the
same time, shows the experience of other countries. The spaces that are
necessary to be further studied are: the theoretical system, policy making issues
(sence of electronic industry branch) at provincial city of national, issues of
planning and developing policy contents, synchronized enforcement solutions,
evaluation criteria, details, corresponding to the conditions and circumstances of
the city, In terms of: what kind of EP to produce? which position in the industry
value chain? What level of technology and production scale? solutions to boost
exports of EP? From the urgency and the overview of some topics, I select the

CHAPTER 1
SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPORT-ORIENTED
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OF A CITY

1.1 SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES ON THE EXPORT-ORIENTED
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
1.1.1 Concept and characteristics of the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry
1.1.1.1 Electronic products
a, Concept. According to UN Trade Statistics (Lall, 2000), electronic
products are products that contain electronic equipment processing information
data. Including: electronic products for industry; electronic products for
consumption; electronic products used for many other industries.
b, Characteristics of electronic products
Electronic products with complex and sophisticated structure are designed
and manufactured by the most modern and advanced technology; electronic
products use few materials, but the intellectual content is very high; electronic
products are the most revolutionary products but they have a relatively short life


4

cycle; electronic products are present in almost all products serving
manufacturing, research and consumption.
1.1.1.2 Electronics industry
a, Industry, According to the Cambridge Dictionary (2019) “Industry” is an
economic industry including people and activities related to a type of
manufacturing of goods and services.
b, The electronics industry is an economic industry under the processing
and manufacturing sub-industry, its activities are highly concentrated in
manufacturing technology, labor, products, design, manufaction, research,
development, manufacturing, electronic product businesses (Encyclopedia of
Columbia University, USA, 2010).
1.1.1.3 The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry
a, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is a
processing and manufacturing industry, is part of the electronics industry,
specializing in manufacturing electronic products for other industries and
consumer electronic products.
b, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is a subsector of the electronics industry (EI), focusing on the manufacture and
processing of electronic products (EP) for consumption and other industries
(under the C-C26 group); EP produced are mainly exported to foreign countries.
1.1.1.4 Characteristics of the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry
a, The electronic product manufacturing industry is a key industrial field of
the 4th industrial revolution. It is the industry of manufacturing hardware
products for electronics. Provinces with favorable conditions and opportunities
need to have priority strategies and policies to obtain this advanced industry.
b, The electronic product manufacturing industry is an industry which
develops very fast, promoting the development of other industries. This is because
the science and technology (S&T) of the industry has develops quickly.
c, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is a
manufacturing industry concentrated in a close relationship with supporting

industries (SI). A product structure is a very complex structure which requires the
link of many stages of production with the support of SI.


5

d, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is an
industry using large capital to invest in research, design, application,
manufacturing, transfer and market development stages. Due to the
characteristics of technology and industry, localities that want to develop the
industry must give priority to large capital investment.
e, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is an
industry using high-quality human resources (HQHR). Due to the characteristics
of the industry in terms of advanced technology and operating business and
manufacturing, it requires human resources (HR) in the industry to have a
complex stratification structure and a corresponding quality of HR.
g, Labor in the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry
has a high income. The salary in the industry is directly proportional to the
quality of HR, labor productivity, reflecting the level of development of this
industry.
h, The electronic product manufacturing industry is an industry with high
import and export turnover.In many countries and in VN today, export turnover
of EPs has consistently been at the top position from 2000-2018.
i, The export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is a
highly competitive industry. Due to the short EP life, the position plays a key role
in the industry. Localities have a comparative advantage, advantages in some
resources will help EP prices to compete on the world market.
1.1.2 Some theories related to the development of the export-oriented
electronic product manufacturing industry
1.1.2.1 Theory related to industrial development:The mixed economy of Paul

Samuelson (2007); Traditional and exogenous growth of Solow (1956); Endogenous
growth of Romer (1955) & Lucas (1937); Economic development based on
industrialization. Some other modern industrial economic development theories:
Rostow’s stages of growth (1960); Discussion of economic development strategies
of Griffin (1989), etc. The following conclusions are drawn: economic development
must be based on industrial development, must be placed in a dialectical
relationship, must consider external and internal factors; must include selective
content from the content of economic development; is dependant on the limitations
of manufacturing and economic, social and geographical conditions of each locality
(city).
1.1.2.2 Export-oriented economic development theories: comparative
advantage theory, David Ricardo (1817); The balance between the factors, Eli
Heckscher-H and Bertil Olin-O (1936); International Product Lifecycle, Raymond
Vernon (1966); Export-oriented industrialization. The folowing conclusion is drawn:
the way for developing countries to shorten the distance and the transition period is
to develop in the export-oriented industrialization.

1.1.2.3 Development of the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry theories
Compiled from the above theories, the author introduces the concept:
“Development of the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry is
an economic management policy to accelerate the process of industrialization of the
export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry (both quantity and
quality) and promote the export of electronic products are manufactured abroad
based on comparative advantages of the locality (province, city) by selecting
appropriate industry development methods suitable to the conditions and
circumstances of the country and the locality together with measures to expand the

export markets, develop competitiveness of goods to meet the demand of electronic
product consumption for leading growth of the electronic product export in the
structure of export items”.
1.1.3 The role and development trend of the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry
1.1.3.1 The role of the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing
industry. Promoting development of other industries; Creating the ability to master
information technology; Improving life quality; Promoting the development of
high-quality human resources, mastering science and technology, creativity;
Creating foreign currencies from promoting electronic product exports; Promoting
regional planning, industrial clusters (ICs), promoting local economic development.
1.1.3.2 The development trend of the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry
a, The life cycle of electronic products in the world is increasingly shortened.
This affects high-quality human resources and the ability to quickly change factors
relating to manufacturing and science - technology;
b, International economic integration and global division of labor. Localities
have the right selection of manufacturing models, technology and electronic
products that are needed to attract investment effectively.
c, The trend of trade liberalization and protection. Trade liberalization is the
removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers to promote the electronic product exports.
The trend of trade protection and maintenance of tariff and non-tariff barriers
hinders imported electronic products.

EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING THE EXPORT-ORIENTED
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OF SOME


12

CITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND ABROAD AND LESSONS LEARNED
FOR DA NANG CITY
1.3.1 Experience in developing the export-oriented electronic product
manufacturing industry of some localities (provinces or cities) in the country
and abroad. Lesson learned by: Shenzhen City, China; Pasir Gudang city in

Malaysia; BangKok city, Thailand; Thai Nguyen city, Vietnam.
1.3.2 Reasonable lesson for success and note for Danang City. Lesson for
success: the government must have policies to develop the industry in stages,
export EP, production model, technology, SI must have a clear orientation based
on the appreciation of the potential and advantages of the localality. It should be
noted, there is a lack of strategies and policies on: setting goals for industry
development; support for the private enterprises sector; catch technology;
synchronous policy for industry development: SI, linking production areas,
symbiotic and complementary factors.
CHAPTER 2
CURRENT SITUATION OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPORTORIENTED ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
OF DA NANG CITY
2.1 OVERVIEW AND CURRENT SITUATION OF THE EXPORTORIENTED ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
OF DA NANG CITY PERIOD OF 2013-2018
2.1.1 Comparative advantages of Da Nang city in developing exportoriented electronic product manufacturing industry
2.1.1.1 Strategic position. Da Nang City is situted in Central VN, with a
natural area of 128,543hectares,and a population density of: 828 people/ km2; it
belongs to the East-West Economic Corridor.
2.1.1.2. Infrastructure. Having the largest commercial port and airport in
Central VN and Central Highlands VN. The water and electricity supply is
sufficient for the industrial zones in the city. There are administrative agencies
servicimg of import and exports, and there are a number of symbiotic
development factors (tourism, shopping, convalescence).
2.1.1.3 Human resource training facility. Da Nang city is one of three
major education and training centers in VN, have EI training and export facilities
2.1.1.4 Resources.There are the necessary resources for the construction of
industrial zones (IZ) and high-tech zones.


13

2.1.1.5 Investment environment. Da Nang City currently has 6 industrial
zones in operation with a total planning area of 192,400m 2, a high-tech zone and
a concentrated information industrial zone, public services are quite developed.
2.1.2 The disadvantages of Da Nang City to develop of export-oriented
electronic product manufacturing industry
Danang is far away from large industrial areas, and so the mobilization of a
number of factors to support production will increase costs. Production area is
limited. Regarding infrastructure, there are faults in the planning of goods
transport network. Regarding the population, at the average level, skilled and
technical requirements are not met. There is a lack of training institutions,
research students, training high quality human resources specialized in the field
of the electronics industry; Lack of primary or complementary materials, lack of
supportive technology and regional integration. Regarding the investment
environment, there is a lack of symbiotic factor in industrial zones and
administrative products.
2.1.3 Analyzing the current situation of development of the export-oriented
electronic product manufacturing industry of Danang city in the period of
2013-2018
2.1.3.1 Overview of the development process of the export-oriented
electronic product manufacturing industry of Danang City
From 2000-2003, FDI enterprises invested in the EOEPMI. From 20032008: mainly outsourcing for foreign corporations.
2.1.3.2 Analyzing the current situation of development results of the
export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry of Da Nang city in
the period of 2013-2018
a, In terms of industrial production value (GO). In 2013-2014, GO
decreased, then increased to 2018 (VND 12.23 trillion). Compared with (GO) of
the same industry in the same period: 42.9-134.7 trillion and (GO) of the
common industry of DN city (36.1-61.6 trillion VND), the contribution of the
sector in DN City is quite modest.

(Trillion dong)
(Source: Statistics in Table 2.2)
Figure 2.1 (GO) Value of the export electronic product manufacturing industry in Danang City

b, In terms of growth rate. This is un stable because they are all outsourced or
assembled to foreign enterprises or parent companies, with small and medium scale
in the group's production chain system, their production is passive. However, the
average growth of the industry is 51.72% / year, increasing rapidly compared to
some other industries with a high average growth rate, leading the processing
industry of the city.


14

c, In terms of proportion. The average proportion is 9.89% compared to the
value of the whole industry (the whole country is 6.45%), showing that this value is
a fairly good position in the overall industrial production of the city.
d, In terms of export turnover of electronic products. This increased steadily
from 0.24 billion USD in 2013 to 0.59 billion USD in 2018, reaching the top 3 key
export items (export electronic products, textiles, and seafood). However, the
industry export turnover only accounts for 0.74-0.67% and accounts for 0.18 to
0.22% of the country's total export turnover (2013-2018), showing that the industry
scale is not commensurate with the potential of the 3rd largest industrial city.
e, In terms of export growth rate, the average growth rate over 6 years was:
17,85% (in 2016, the speed decreased) where are the whole country was 13.36%, a
good increase, but mostly of FDI Enterprises.
g, Proportion (structure) of production and export value of each export
electronics item. Mainly: computers, phones, camcorders, and accessories. Only
meet for specific companies with narrow structure, have to deal with a lot of
competitiveness, no EP to wait after 2025.

h, The proportion (structure) of the EP export market. The market share is
still very modest, focusing mainly on the Japanese market (16.4%), many other
markets are left out.

2.2.2 Analysis of the current situation of the results of policies and solutions
to develop the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry of
Da Nang city in the period of 2013-2018
From 2004-2014, the Government and the Ministry of Industry issued a
number of general guiding documents on industrial development and EI as well


15

as a strategy to boost exports for the whole country with a number of objectives
and solutions (no specific guidance and direction for the EOEPMI industry of DN city).
2.2.2.1 Regarding policy groups and solutions to develop manufacturing

and producing areas for the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing
industry of Da Nang city.
a, On development of the structure of key export electronic products. There
is a project for developing the city is science and technology from 2016-2020.
As a result, there is EP export: electronic components, computers suitable to the
needs and trends in the world market with EP to welcome after 2025. Subjective
reasons: lack of policies and solutions to orient export structure of EP according
to the production model.
b, Regarding the development of a key export electronic product
production model for the industry of Da Nang City. Decision No.9644/QDUBND, dated December 31, 2014, approving the scheme: Enterprise
development of DN city to 2020. Solutions: Improving the investment
environment, restructuring and technological innovation. The result: is in the
processing stage to support some small and medium-sized corporations.
Subjective reasons: rationale of choosing production models in the industry
value chain.
c, Regarding the development of science and technology qualifications for
the industry. Decision No. 6211/QD-UBND, August 18, 2010 approving the
Master Plan for development of science and technology of DN City until 2020.
Results: General technology level: Partially improved, the total value of the
industry's fixed assets accounted for about 4.1% in the whole industry, increased
on average 38.6%/year, lower than the average rate in the whole industry.
Limitations: the current technology of the industry is that of FDI investors, only
meeting the type of supporting processing, without source technology, and has
not yet transferred alternative production technologies and supporting industry
technology to achieve its position in the second phase of the production model in
the second country in the industry value chain (in theory). The basic reason is:
lack of systematic reasoning regarding advanced manufacturing models for the
industry.
d, Regarding the development of supporting industries and symbiotic
factorsfor the industry. Decision No. 34/2016/QD-UBND, November 01, 2016,

creates a premise for the development of supporting industries for local industries.
Solution: support projects for the development of supporting industry in general (not
only the export electronics manufacturing industry). Result: no policy of production
model has been established, so supporting industries for the export electronics
manufacturing industry have not been formed.
e, Regarding the development of high quality human resources for the
industry. There are guidelines for training talents for the city. Decision No. 2159/QD
- UBND dated March 31, 2010 approves the planning for development of the
education and training sector in DN city until 2020. Results: Regarding the number


16

of employees and the training level in the industry: only meets the processing
support, manufacturing and assembling of some electronic products for export to
foreign corporations. Regarding working age, occupational health, labor discipline,
skills and skills, efficiency and productivity: does not meet the immediate or longterm requirements. Cause: training does not meet the needs of the industry.
2.2.2.2. Regarding policy group, solutions to develop production scale
for the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry of Da Nang
city
a, Regarding the development of the capital scale for the city's EOEPMI.
The city government has the policy: quickly increasing the amount of investment
capital attracted to the industry, the rate of capital mobilization in GRDP
(according to the current price) will reach about 50% by 2020. Limitations: there
is no mechanism to help and explain; spreading investment, there is no specific
target program for the export electronics manufacturing industry. Cause: the
attraction of policies to attract capital.
b, Regarding the land area development planning for EOEPMI of DN City.
Promulgate preferential policies to attract foreign direct investment (FDI),
measures: granting investment licenses, preferential land rent rates, reducing

corporate income tax. Industrial promotion policy; DN City Development Master
Plan to 2020 with a vision to 2030 and 2045. Result: planning the IZs, creating
necessary ground area. Big difficulty: the city land bank is limited. Reason: the
master plan and determination of land standards for the industry have not been
clearly oriented with any industry.
2.2.2.3 Regarding the group of policies and measures to boost exports for
the city's export-oriented electronic product manufacturing industry
a,Group of policies and solutions toward export thanks to the development
of competitiveness of export electronic products. In terms of added value (VA),
since 2014, the government has built a scheme to improve the competitiveness
of exported goods; Solutions: focus on supporting key and key export products;
Results: VA of the industry failed. This limitation is the consequence of the lack
of policies to develop production models, SI. Regarding the development of
competitiveness thanks to the competitive advantage of infrastructure for export:
the system of seaports, airways, railways, roads, accommodation and tourism has
been renovated and developed. Restrictions on container lines have become
untouched and the East-West corridor has not been exploited.
Regarding the competitive advantage of labor price in the industry: By
2018, the labor price in the industry of DN city was the 3rd largest in the country
after Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, but the 11th lowest in Asia, the average salary
increases, is beneficial So. Regarding the improvement of the quality of export
electronic products: this is meeting the quality requirements of some EP import
markets but there have been passive, few initiatives, improvements, R&D.
Regarding the development of the business environment: well implementing the
administrative procedures and national single-window mechanism well, online


17

public service policies, customs procedures, electronic C/O issuance, banking

services, transportation, forwarding, logistics; Limitations: methods of guidance,
deployment, products and services are not abundant, logistics is developing
slowly and costs are still high.
b, Regarding the development of the market and boosting exports of
electronic products. Regarding policies on market forecasts: more than 80% of
enterprises in the industry still don't know the information. Policies to support
enterprises in market information and trade promotion for the industry: Since 2014,
there has been a policy to support the implementation of trade promotion programs;
Results: many conferences, forums and seminars have been organized to promote
investment attraction in the field of electronics industry; Limitations: not yet
specialized in the field of export electronic product manufacturing, the number of
participants is quite small. Regarding policies to encourage the export of electronic
products: from 2013-2018, more than 11 policies related to support for businesses
have been issued; Limitations: the support solution is not large enough, large scale
and not synchronized. Regarding import incentive policies for technological
machinery, equipment for export electronic product manufacturing: Decision No.
34/2016/QD-UBND, November 01, 2016: machinery and equipment for import
electronic product manufacturing complies with the regime of import-export or
export-processing or temporary import or re-export (most of the import tax rate is
0%); Limitations: lack of a system of industry-oriented standards for producing
modern electronic products to enjoy preferences. Regarding credit policies to
encourage import and output export: Decision No. 36/2013/QD-UBND, November
13, 2013, supporting interest rates for investment loans, importing equipment,
machinery, raw materials and fuels for export production; Limitations: not yet
favorable and sustainable, the mechanism to remove obstacles. Regarding
policies to promote exports based on branding for businesses and export electronic
products: there is the city trade promotion program, period 2016-2020. Limitations:
The city's own electronic product brand has not yet been established. Regarding
facilitating associations for the development of electronic product manufacturing
industry: VEIA's existence in DN city is its pervasive power, the ability to advise

and provide industry development information. Regarding promoting exports based
on the development of modern export methods: limitations: specific solutions to
develop the industry in terms of foreign trade techniques are limited, the capacity of
import and export officials is also limited.
2.2.3 Assessing the results of policies to develop Da Nang's export-oriented
electronic product manufacturing industry in the period of 2013-2018
2.2.3.1 Evaluation of policy making. 2013-2018, more than 20 series of
guiding documents were issued, and by 2015, EOEPMI began to be mentioned
in the decisions of the City People's Committee.
2.2.3.2 Assessment of objectives Reach the speed goal, the other goal is
not yet reached.

supportive of the people; the contribution of scientists; the central government is
interested in the direction of strategy and a number of specific policies with the
support of budget capital; the participation of organizations such as VCCI, VEIA
in DN City; The objective reason: the investment cooperation of EP export
enterprises (FDI) in IZs.
2.3.2 Basic limitations and causes

The sector's scale is limited, the position of the industry ranking is not
sustainable, there has not been a strong breakthrough, the scale of the exportoriented position of the industry has not been significant compared to many
similar localities and cities. Subjective reasons: on the side of the city
government, planning and concretizing policies and strategies: just stopping at
the extensive scope, without a comprehensive and synchronized master plan on
branch development in particular; lack of theoretical and scientific development
systems. On the side of the implementing entities (enterprises): lack of key
investment, limited industry information. For the State, the Government, the
ministries and sectors: The guiding policies have been limited, the support
solutions are still limited. On the industry association's side, there are not many
necessary activities to actively support industry development. Objective reasons:
On the investors' side: the form and level of investment are not commensurate;
Competition among localities to attract investors; The requirement for EP
development is increasingly shorter.

CONCLUSION
Starting from the theoretical basis: choosing industrialization will create
solid industrial premises, promoting other fields; Export orientation is suitable
for developing countries because it creates foreign currency to transfer science
and technology, HR and the lack of factors to shorten the transition. With that in
mind, the goal of industrial development is to target key industries that are
appropriate to the conditions of your locality. Developing EOEPMI is an
objective requirement for many key localities and cities of the nation. The
development of this industry must meet the requirement of achieving pioneering
and sustainability (long-term and stability); in order to do so, the industry must:
Achieve the position (manufacturing and producing areas); Achieve scale
(capital, production area, industrial clusters, inter-region); Achieve exportoriented requirements (competitiveness, market development), while ensuring
the development of both breadth (scale) and depth (advanced and modern quality).
Da Nang is under the Central Government of VN that has the basis for
developing this field. From 2018 onwards, there were initial results in creating a
premise for industry development such as: development IZs, attract a number of

businesses to invest in the industry and improve its position in the industry
structure of the city as well as the position of export turnover. However, the
actual results in the period of 2013-2018 show that the development of the
industry has not achieved the desired goals, the scale is limited, the value of the
industry's contribution to the economic development of the city as well as the
country. In addition, the country is still modest, has not created a stable position
in the regional or global value chain of major electronics industry corporations,
enterprises in the industry are mainly outsourcing, assembling, lacking SI, weak
factors, auxiliary factors, symbiotic, not reaching the scale of industrial clusters,
the main inputs are based on imports and the dependence is quite high. These are
shortcomings, limitations and urgent tasks that need to be addressed for the
thesis topic. With the structure of 3 chapters, the thesis has implemented the
following research objectives and tasks:
Firstly, the thesis has systematized and clarified the theoretical issue
about the development of the export-oriented electronic product manufacturing
industry (EOEPMI) in a city, which focuses on explaining basic concepts of
industry development (sub-sectoral approach of the electronics industry - EI) in
the direction of industrialization towards export (ITE); the characteristics of
export electronic products (EEP), the characteristics of the EOEPMI; trends,
requirements and conditions on industry development. Secondly, the thesis


25

identifies the content system of 03 basic policy groups with 9 sub-areas of
industry development policies, including: 1> Group of policies for development
of manufacturing and producuring areas (including policies: EEP structure;
production models; science and technology (ST); high quality human resources
(HQHR); supporting industries (SI) and symbiotic factors for the industry); 2>
Group of policies to develop production scale (including development policies:

scale of production capital; production areas in industrial zones (IZs) and
industrial complexes); 3> Group of export-oriented policies (including policies:
improving competitiveness for EEP; developing markets and boosting EP
exports) along with a system of criteria for evaluating industry development of
the city according to 03 policy groups (width, depth); pointing out the objective
and subjective factors affecting the sector’s development. Thirdly, the thesis
presented the industry development experience of some similar cities at home
and abroad according to a number of different contents and criteria, thereby
drawing some lessons that can be referenced and noted for DN city. Fourth, the
thesis has generalized the role, position, comparative advantage and
disadvantage of Danang city in EOEPMI development. It has analyzed and
evaluated the current situation of developing the EOEPMI of DN city and the
development status of EOEPMI policies of the DN city in the period of 20132018, to draw assessments in terms of achievement, basic limitations and point
out objective and subjective causes. Fifthly, the thesis has summarized the
situation, new trends and demand for electronic products (EP) of certain
countries, identified the advantages, opportunities, difficulties and challenges for
EOEPMI of DN city to 2025 and subsequent years. Sixthly, the thesis has
defined the viewpoints and objectives of the industry’s development; Proposing
a number of solutions (apart from the group of solutions for planning and
developing policies for industry development, focusing on 03 main groups of
solutions) to develop EOEPMI of DN City to 2025 and the following years.
To the extent permitted and limited to the presentation framework,
complete and comprehensive scientific issues on development strategies and
policies applicable to the entire EI industry of the city, the thesis has not had
conditions to mention, The author would like to continue researching and
developing more widely.
