of privatization and its effects on firm performance It examines the performance of current privatized SOEs in Vietnam listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and Ha Noi Stock Exchange The study collects the official published information of sampled privatized firms to analyze the relationship between ownership structure, capital structure and firm performance Based on the result, capital structure is confirmed to have negative effect on performance of privatized firms In addition, the study also found that State-dominant ownership is positively influenced firm performance, but in contrast to expectation, private-dominant ownership is negatively affected performance Regarding to the moderating role of dominant ownership structure on the adverse effect of relationship between capital structure and firm performance, privatedominant ownership results a positive effect while there is no evidence to refute the Statedominant ownership’s impact on this relationship The data collection generally shows an overall picture of current State shares which State shall still control most of large privatized companies Finally, based on the theoretical analysis and empirical results and existing status of Vietnam’s economy, the study provides some beneficial opinions and recommendations for future researches vii Chapter Introduction 1.1 Research background In recent years, privatization in developing countries has been accelerated to meet the requirement of socioeconomic development For a developing country as Vietnam, the privatization is becoming more and more important in reformation process and considered as an essential engine for transformation of State-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the period of the country’s economy on going to integrate with the world economy After Vietnam had been the official member of World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2007, it was necessary to establish a capital mobilization regime suitable with market mechanism and international practices to invest for developing socioeconomic in general As witnessed an economic could not strongly develop in long time if it still depended on the revenue of SOEs, Vietnam Government has to considered privatization of SOEs as a mean of solving this problem and bringing steadily economic development to the country According to Asian Development Bank’s paper (2015), Vietnamese SOEs’ production was lower levels of output than private sector competitors’, influencing on economic growth Figure describes the net turnover as percentage long-term investment of Vietnamese enterprises in period 2009-2013, showing that State-owned remaining low net turnover compared to private-domestic and private-foreign Moreover, in competitive markets, State ownership may be less desirable to private ownership for these reasons: (1) the State’s priorities focus on social and political goals opposed to maximization of firm value; (2) human resource for management/leader position is from political allies rather than experienced staff; and (3) higher transaction cost (Hess, Gunasekarage & Hovey, 2010) Before 1986, Vietnam had a centralized-planning economy, which had only two types of firm ownership in the economy including State and collective enterprises (Tran, Nonneman & Jorissen, 2015) Under central planning system, the government controlled and allocated social properties It led to a weak market mechanism because it distorted the prices of product and services of the economy Since 1992, the “reform” (known as “Doi moi”) program was launched by Vietnam Government with the main purpose of improvement on the firm Table 16 List of privatized SOEs listed on Hanoi Stock Exchange Stock code ALT AMC ALTA company Asia Mineral Joint Stock Company State's
