biggest and the leading company in the motor cycle in Vietnam, the company always lauch many good product and pay attention to social activities.Honda motor cycle is durable, save gas but the design may be less young than Yamaha motor About motor-cycle market in Vietnam, I think at least in more than 10 next year, motor cycle will still remain the main transport means, but the market’s and customer intention may be change, customer want to use more high class scooter than tranditional motorcyle, because the income of citizen raise higher and higher year by year and the means for transport is not only a simple motorcyle but also they want to show their style and may be their social status, Moreover, they intend to pay more attention for safety of the mean as well as the appearance So, in the near future, high class product will compsumt more strongly What you understand about a survey team For the survey team, we have to research market intention, customers’ deman to empove the product and service quality We have to collect the customer opinion or organize event The result of a survey can indicate us the market signal to guide our business plan to empove our

you research on them Whether they are satisfied with the result of M&A Do they want to M&A or use another form of investment The advantage of disadvantage of M&A on their opinion… - We can monitor the price of stock or financial criteria… How many methods you conduct a servey There are some main methods for a servey, for example we can interview directly, or ask throug a question form We can conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis criteria The process of a survey can be divide into parts The first, we have to know clealy the target of the servey, then we set up method, tool for our servey, after that we choose the object we want to research, we have to prepare people and the last we have to proceed and analize the information we have collected, and from it we can give some advice or solution to emprove our products or services What are the difficults when you conduct a servey The most difficult we get in a survey is that, we can choose a good method and choose the correct object, some people who usually have too many things to attend so I want to be sure they pay attention for my survey and answer correctly on their opinion, certainly, sometimes it may be incorrect but in genneral we have a general result It must be corect relatively It give me general indicator or a clear signal I have some solution for these difficult, for instance, we can arrange
