Abstract

This chapter explains the methodology of the empirical study in Vietnam conducted by the authors. The research aimed to understand if and how state ownership, state control and corporate governance structure affect M&A performance of state-invested enterprises (SIEs) and non-SIEs in Vietnam. The study adopted an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design with a qualitative study first, followed by a quantitative study. The former was to explore the factors driving M&A decision and performance, whereas the latter was to determine the significance of the research perimeters through inferential statistics. The qualitative component consisted of 31 interviews conducted with M&A professionals and corporate managers of acquiring firms, including listed SIEs. The quantitative study included 188 M&As of listed firms in Vietnam from 2004 to 2013. Our analysis considered a diverse set of factors comprising institutional factors, firm factors and individual characteristics of decision-makers.
