III. The main research orientation in the next 5 years

- Main research areas: Application of fuzzy sets theory; methods of ranking fuzzy numbers; model of multi-criteria decision-making in the fuzzy condition (hierarchical model - AHP, TOPSIS, quality function deployment - QFD), application of statistic methods based on statistic software (SPSS, R, EVIEW, Structural Equation Modeling, Minitab,..) in Economics, application of simulation model in production.

- Specific research areas:

+ Developing models of assessment and selection of domestic and international investors/ investment sectors/ investment locations/ investment areas…

+ Researches related to price policies of renewable energies (i.e., solar photovoltaic-PV, wind)

+ Tools for optimized decision making in management (model of multi-criteria decision-making): MIS management, simulation model; assessment; group division and selection of economic corporation restructuring model, human resources, suppliers, investment location, market segments,…

IV.Scientific product expectation for the next 5 years

- Providing quanity methods, tools for state management agencies, enterprises in decision-making.

- Specific products:

+ Providing reports for evalueing, grouping investors and suggesting policies

+ Reports related to affecting factors and forcasts of price changes to renewable energies

+ Publishcation in international/domestic journals/conferences (ISI, Scopus), books.

+ Short-term training courses on quantitative tools for students, graduate students and young lecturers.
