Theory of privatization; the theory of equitization of state-owned enterprise which has been mentioned in the literature review; - The theory of agency explains the relationship between shareholders and managers in the agency relationship (trust relationship); - The theory of corporate governance, especially the separation between ownership and management rights in the company - The theory of company managers, especially determining who the managers are and their legal obligations (director's duties) - Theory of business transformation - The theory of subrogation 1.2.2 Research question and research hypothesis Research questions have been raised during the implementation of the topic research, including: -What is the nature of SOEs equitization?; characteristics of formalities and procedures for equitization of SOEs and characteristics of formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation SOEs?; - Legal principles, participants, structure of laws on formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation SOEs?; - Identify and summarize the difficulties and in the practical application of law as well as legal gaps in formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation SOEs in Vietnam?; - The solutions to improve the laws and enhance the effectiveness of laws enforcement on formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation SOEs in Vietnam in the coming years? 1.2.3 Research hypothesis - Firstly, the perception of SOEs and equitization of SOEs was not clear and incomplete, especially the role of SOEs in the socialist-oriented market economy The distinction between state capital invested in enterprises, state capital in enterprises, and capital of enterprises is still unclear, so the application of regulations in capital management of enterprises is still insufficient; - Second, the management of state capital and assets in enterprises and equitization in the market mechanism is very complicated issue The goal of accelerating the equitization of SOEs is accompanied by great changes in awareness, the views and objectives of equitization, leading to the policy and laws on equitization continuously change from time to time, due to both implementation, review and evaluation, many contents are not insufficient; - Third, policies and laws on equitization of transportation SOEs in the still have many gaps, especially in specific issues such as financial investments, specific assets of enterprises, etc business, brand… - Fourth, the complex and overlapping in the legal system has occurred through many stages, and in the period 2008-2012, the economy faced great challenges In the period 2011-2021, the Constitution, the laws and decrees are amended, but urgent issues not be solved CHAPTER 2: THEORETICAL ISSUES ON EQUITIZATION OF TRANSPORT STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES AND LAWS ON FORMALITIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EQUITIZATION OF TRANSPORTATION STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN VIETNAM 2.1 The concept of equitization of transportation state-owned enterprises 2.1.1 The concept of equitization of state-owned enterprises - In general understanding, equitization of SOEs is the process of converting ownership from an enterprise in which the State holds 100% of the charter capital to a multi-owned enterprise includes other organizations, individuals and employees-owned - From the process perspective, equitization means in effect the complete or partial privatization of SOEs, generally by floating part or all of their capital on the stock market in Vietnam From the legal perspective, equitization is the transformation of a SOEs into a joint stock company model SOEs equitization is the process of diversifying ownership, transforming state-owned SOEs into joint-stock companies owned by shareholders of all economic sectors participating in the purchase of shares 2.1.2 The nature and characteristics of the equitization of stateowned enterprises in Vietnam The essence of equitization is the process of transforming the business model from SOEs into joint-stock companies owned by shareholders It means that this new enterprise is governed by the Law on Enterprises, in which the State can be a shareholder This enterprise must completely comply with the provisions of the laws on joint-stock company All issues related to the operation of the enterprise from the legal management, rights and obligations, management mechanism to regulations on establishment, dissolution, bankruptcy in a joint-stock company must be governed by the law on enterprises 2.1.3 Characteristics of equitization of state-owned enterprises in the field of transportation in Vietnam SOEs in the transport sector are often large-scale enterprises and equitization of transportationcSOEs in this sector is necessary and expected to bring benefits to the economy and society such as : Firstly, large-scale SOEs in the field of transportation play a dominant role in all economic sectors, so the equitization of these enterprises has great significance in implementing the guidelines and policies of the Party and State, concentrating resources on macro stability and national development; 10 Second, the equitization of large-scale SOEs in the field of transportation through buying, selling, merging, merging, and dissolving enterprises has created a mechanism for risk distribution, the possibility of sustainable development of enterprises, and at the same time creating conditions for investors to reduce losses, is a way to share risks with shareholders; Thirdly , the equitization of SOEs in the field of transportation makes an important contribution to creating new impetus for the development of other enterprises through the scope of influence and efficiency of production and business on the basis of modern production technology and systems advanced management; Fourthly, the large-scale equitization of SOEs in the field of transportation allows the most effective use of the resources of the State, private sector and FDI, improving national competitiveness and value, increase strategic products and generate revenue larger than the state budget; Fifthly , the equitization of SOEs in the field of transportation allows SOEs to participate more actively and effectively in solving social problems, making concrete contributions to job creation and social welfare, poverty reduction and environmental protection; Sixth, the equitization of SOEs in the field of transportation, contributing to accelerating socialization, attracting social capital into production and business activities, on the other hand, attracting social forces into management, but still highly professional management role 2.2 Laws on formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation state-owned enterprises 2.2.1 Basic principles of laws on formalities and procedures for equitization of transportation state-owned enterprises -
