machinery and equipment having high technology features accounting for a very small proportion; - Mechatronics industry develops in Vietnam mainly because it attracts foreign investment projects, Mechatronics enterprises of Vietnam are very few and mainly focus on independent fields such as mechanics 15 creating, electronics and assembling computers Equipment and technology systems of domestic enterprises are outdated and asynchronous; - The supporting industry serving the Mechatronics industry is limited Most of the spare parts, components and production materials are imported from abroad; - Vietnam is seriously lacking in human resources with high qualifications and expertise capable of holding the role of chief engineer in the design and development of Mechatronics products Causes: - The State has not focused on developing the Mechatronics field into a complete and clear industry, so up to this point science and technology research and development organizations as well as enterprises deploying applications or manufacturing business Mechatronics products have not received specific policies of the State, but only exploit some general policies that affect the field of Mechatronics; - The Mechatronics industry has not had the unified direction and management of the State, has not been properly invested; Policies slow to come to life Scientific research and development programs and connections between scientists, research units and businesses are sporadic, without the support of the State; - Some macro policies such as import tax policies, localization policies, etc are unreasonable for a long time, thus discouraging production from developing; - There is no linkage between levels, ministries and branches in policy implementation Some policies still have many irrationalities, lack of consistency and consistency, and have not yet attracted all interested subjects Besides, the policy formulation, in addition to subjects such as experts and administrative agencies, the beneficiaries of policies such as enterprises and business associations have not participated much; - Mechatronics enterprises develop individually, with small scale and mainly due to market demand, spontaneity, lack of linkage and coordination in the general development orientation; - The necessary choice of products and technology for foreign investors has not been given due attention Investment projects for the 16 Mechatronics industry are few, especially projects in the field of mechanical engineering and complete equipment; - The training of human resources for the Mechatronics industry is still inadequate The training of Mechatronics engineers is mainly a combination of other specialties, so there is often a lack of synchronization and specific orientation 17 CHAPTER SOLUTIONS TO DEVELOP THE MECHATRONICS INDUSTRY IN VIETNAM 4.1 The background of the development of Vietnam's Mechatronics industry: 4.1.1 The impact of globalization: 4.1.2 The
