technology are still unable to adapt the Imported techniques and to advance towards self-rei lance at home. One of the fundamental causes Is that Importance has not been attached to the scientific and technological organization and management. Nowadays the scientific research activities and the Introdu­ction of advanced techniques Into production have become an Important object of management. The tempe of applying the sclen-·tlflc Inventions to production realities has rapidly Increased. From the time when electric current was Invented to the time when the first thermal power station was built, It took almost a century. It took only 15 years to apply the Invention of radar. Laser beam discovered In 1960 took only four or five years to find extensive applications. In such an environment for the developing countries, manage­ ment for science and technology Is still a very new experience. A better understanding of the true value of the management In general and the management for science and technology In particu­ lar, requires number of research works of the scientists representing the different branches. <D N Presented by Nguyen Dlnh Tuyen 16-4 237 F I r s t I y , t here I s a n e ed to r e al I z e , at a I I I eve I s , the decisive role of management towards the economic development In general and science and technology In particular In each stage of the economic-social development. In the Social 1st Republic of VIetNam, attention has been paid to the problem of Improving the mechanism of management In general and science and technology In particular. The national pol Icy on science and technology mapped out the tasks of Improving the mechanism of management avoiding Impediments to the research and development·actlvltles and Intro­ duction of advanced techniques Into production.
