This is the problems with every Vietnamese firms, especially with Small and Medium Enterprises, who lack o f capitals, resources, technologies in compared not only with bigger domestic but also with foreigner companies, that are strongly penetrating into Vietnam economy My thesis will analyze the case o f Morgan Stanley/Gateway Securities JSC, the mergers and acquisitions transaction result between Morgan Stanley Singapore - one official member o f Morgan Stanley and Gateway Securities one mall securities enterprise, to explain why Gateway has chosen mergers and acquisitions as their way to growth and comment how this strategy affected on it Research Purpose This thesis based on the strengths and weakness, the opportunities and threats that Gateway have to face, to find that mergers and acquisitions is one o f good ways to implement their problem in operation in a emerging and high completion market like securities industry o f Vietnam My analysis o f Morgan Stanley/Gateway Securities JSC leads me to the conclusion that with a small and medium company in emerging market like Vietnam, mergers and acquisitions is the good choice to help company growth by taken full advantages o f one bigger company that have strong resources I Research Scope Thesis only centers to analyze the existed problems o f Gateway Securities JSC as the reason lead the managers o f company choose mergers and acquisitions as a way to develop and growth in competitive environment o f industry, economy and results after followed this way Methodology The methodology will be base on by collecting data as: statements, reports from newspapers, magazines, and announcements o f companies and other state departments like General Statistic Office or State Securities Commission and Ministry o f Finance , reviewing all the studies related to competitive strategies Contribution o f the Thesis The student hopes this thesis will contribute one significant thing to other students who are interested in researching on the competitive strategy in future and choice one suitable strategy for company C H A P T E R - L IT E R A T U R E REVIEW 1.1 G E N E R A L C O N C E P T O F M E R G E

companies, they are one o f the popular topics in business today [Michael E.S.Frankel, 2007] Mergers & acquisitions is a commonly used term however its meaning can vary depending on the context Often the term are incorrectly used unchangeable or the group name M &A is used The key principle is to create shareholder value over and above that o f the sum o f the two companies Two companies together are more valuable than two separate companies - at least, that's the reasoning behind M&A This rationale is particularly alluring to companies when times are tough Strong companies will act to buy other companies to create a more competitive, cost-efficient company The companies will come together hoping to gain a greater market share or to achieve greater efficiency Because o f these potential
