the attention of business customers in industrial zones in export processing zones discharging waste water into the environment during their manufacturing and business process, this is the group of potential customers that the Center should pay attention to in the upcoming time In order to access to this group of customers, the Center can implement the direct distribution strategy as follows: - Organizing consultancy teams going to the industrial parks and export processing zones to directly approach enterprises - In large industrial parks, a fixed or mobile office can be established to

can advertise products and services through community relations such as sponsorship for community-related, clean water, environmental service programs - Use email: Provide detailed information about

letter Website development Discount Total Source: author’s proposal 3.2.2.5 Focus on synchronous investment in the system of machinery and equipment, technology software At present, although the machinery and equipment of the Center for Water Resources Technical and Consultant has been fully invested, the operation efficiency is not high because most of the machinery is old and out of date and regularly damaged Therefore, in the coming time, the Center should ask for additional funds for investment, replacing the equipment which has been fully depreciated and cannot be used for production Some machines that the Center needs to invest are as follows: 76 Machines need to be invested + YPБ-3A3-13 drilling machine YPБ-3A3-13 drilling machine helps to drill to 1000m, supporting hydrological geological research through soil sampling for lithological studies, drilling for geophysical measurements of boreholes and experimental pump conduction Image 3.1: Some construction equipment + Mobile Screw Compressor Being used in difficult conditions, facilitating drilling and exploring water resources of the Center 77 + ABEM SAS 4000 measuring equipment Image 3.2: Specialized machinery These are out of date equipment which are regular broken Therefore, it is needed to have timely investment to avoid business activities of the Center from being interrupted Financial investment The equipment and machinery in need of being invested are very valuable so the Center for Water Resources Technical and Consultant need to develop a specific financial plan The investment capital can be mobilized as follows: + Budget Source: 65% This is the main source of funding + Retained earnings: 23% + Funds for investment and development: 12% 78 Investment activities will not be

Compression Machine 2025: Invest YPБ-3A3-13 drilling machine (this machine cost so much) so this machine is estimated to be invested by 2025 3.2.2.6 Promote training to improve the quality of human resources Content In the coming time, the Center for Water Resources Technical and Consultant should pay special attention to training, fostering and building a contingent of skilled and qualified professional satffs in the field of drilling and monitoring, especially the management and business operation team Training activity can be conducted in the following ways: Open short-term training courses on economics, business administration, monitoring, geodesy, machinery and equipment in the industry Standardize the employees working at the Center as a basis for the recruitment, training, utilization and evaluation of the employees Apply the mechanism of supplementation and dismission of human resources to maintain the contingent of professional staffs, meeting the requirements of competition and innovation of the market Have policies to encourage young and qualified staffs having passed the domestic and abroad training courses, creating qualified suborndinate source with competent professional knowledge, managemnet capacity and actual experience to current staffs Strictly implement examination, evaluation, promotion, dismissal and commendation of State officials and employees at the Center By doing well 79 these activities, staffs and employees shall have motivation to be active in their training and to constantly improve - Train skills to receive information and handle complaints of customers; Customer communication skills, communication culture and build corporate culture Implementation + Fund for implementation Estimation: 600 million VND/year (35% is from

on vocational level upgrade and training courses on skills) + Document: The consultant prepares the materials and conducts training at the Center with the form of training in the organization 3.3 Some recommendations to the State 3.3.1 Renovate the financial mechanism of the State capital management Financial mechanisms of revenue generating public service delivery units currently remain inadequate Non-business units not have full authority in evaluating assets and are not encouraged to evaluate the assets with the preservation and development of capital There is still confusion between the preservation through development of value and preservation through property interference, through the determination of property such as mortgages, mortgages, leases, sale or liquidation, etc Rights of the owner or the rights of the capital management member to the profit after tax has not been clearly defined The mechanism of profit distribution is still average, not encouraging revenue generating public service delivery units doing business effectively to get more benefits in income as well as capital investment accumulation 80 Therefore, there should be solutions such as: - It is necessary to clarify the State ownership to the unit, including the right to benefit from the efficiency of business activities After-tax profit is from the State With the assets owned by non-business units, they have the right to decide procurement, liquidation, transfer, etc - The financial management mechanism should be clearly defined It is needed to transfer from the subsidized administration to the financial investment, apply the mechanism of capital allocation to the legal entity and at the same time to expand the business autonomy of the organization - It is necessary to strengthen the internal audit and the State audit through financial reporting, promulgated law and policy enforcement 3.3.2 Improve incentive policies for the employees The State should have incentive policies to evaluate the employees working in the state-owned enterprises according to their performace rather than seniority to encourage creativity and save cost for the organization Currently, the Sate still prefers capacity assessment through seniority, making the salary regimes less satisfactory Some young staffs have significant contributions to the organization, but their salaries and bonuses are not competitive enough to encourage them Meanwhile, staffs with many years of working have very high salaries even they not contribute much to the organization This creates a moral hazard, causing stagnancy in the activities Therefore, the State should have policies to improve the identical regime of salaries and bonuses in the State enterprises, encouraging salary payment based on working performance rather than seniority 3.3.3 There should be a clear policy of the relationship between the State and the organization Currnently, there is an actual state that the revenue generating public service delivery units is facing lots of difficulties in sending staffs to go on 81 abroad business trip, study the market, expand the market According to the regulations, having decision of the organization manager is enough but the Department of External Affair still insists on decision on going on abroad busisness trip of the Ministry, provincial government or the previous agency of the governance agency of the unit These requirements cause the units to take more time and expenses than initial planning and sometimes loose business opportunities Therefore, it is essential for the State to issue proper policies for the revenue generating public service delivery units on the issues related to import-export, shortening procedure for the staffs to be going on abroad business trip Besides, it is needed to improve the practival legal system synchronously to endure that the enterprises can make plan by themselves and be independent in the market mechanism, remove subsidy, protection with the enterprises, creating good condition for the enterprises doing business in an equally competitive business environment At the same time, information supply, policy dissemination to the enterprises should also be paid attention to, creating unified information in all activities of the enterprises 82 CONCLUSION In the past few years, the Center for Water Resources Technical and Consultant has been continously receiving Certificate of the Department and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment During its operation, the Center always focuses on emulation and reward activitíe, promptly encourage with both material and spiritual awards the units and individuals with excellent achievement, technical innovation contribution, improving common manufacturing and

strateg of market penetration price, strategy of broad distribution, strategy of product introduction and promotion, strategy of focusing on the synchronous investment in the system of machinery and equipment, strategy of strengthening traning, improving the quality of human resource Although the author has tried her best in the study, with subjective perspective, the thesis might remain
