REASON FOR WRITING
In recent years, the M&A sector in Vietnam has been in a period of the renaissance
as local companies step up efforts to expand their business operations with M&A as one
of their main strategies. Vingroup, Masan Group, Hoa Phat Group, Vietnam Dairy
Products Joint Stock Company, and Novaland Group are the 5 units with the largest
M&A activities in the market, both in terms of value and number of transactions in the
past two years.
The positive transformation in domestic M&A activities will still be maintained for
these businesses because in addition to having enough cash in reserve to find quality
targets, but also being strategic in continuing to invest and continue to look for market
expansion opportunities and improve profit margins.
As Vietnam's economy continues to grow thanks to supportive regulations and
policies of the Government and trade agreements. Domestic companies will continue to
play an important role in future M&A activities, creating many corporations with a scale
comparable to large corporations in the region. Therefore, in order to have a deeper
understanding of M&A transactions between buyers and sellers, the team analyzed the
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
topic: The fast-changing analysis business environment in retail and manufacturing
industry - The case study applies between Masan and Vingroup in Vietnam market".
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General overview
In the free trade market, merger and acquisition (M&A) is a familiar concept for
domestic and foreign strategic investors.
In the M&A process businesses need to plan, prepare for transactions, access and
exchange information with investors. On the other hand, enterprises need to focus on the
appraisal and contract negotiation carefully. Besides, the reason for enterprises to
consider an M&A transaction cognize be business expansion, market development,
market share, finding partners, receive attractive offers from buyers; financial difficulties,
risk of default.
Statistics over the past 20 years demonstrate that Vietnam has more than 4,000
M&A deals with a value of nearly 50 billion USD, ranking third in Southeast Asia in
terms of M&A value. Vietnam is considered a dynamic country in M&A activities when
it attracts foreign capital flows and foreign investors to participate in the market.
However, in the new context, the goal of the enterprise when determining a successful
M&A deal changes according to the requirements and vision of the enterprise is a
problem that needs to be solved (Ministry of industry and trade - VN).
Market trends:
M&A activities in Vietnam have increased sharply during the 10 years from 2007 to
2017 and peaked in 2017 with a scale of 10 billion USD, of which contributed 50% of the
value of the Sabeco deal. M&A value tends to decrease in 2018 and 2019 (Vietnam M&A
Forum - MAF).
M&A activities of Southeast Asian countries from 2017 to 2019 are different. In
2018, Vietnam ranked 2nd in terms of M&A value in Southeast Asia, but in 2019 it has
dropped to 3rd place, after Singapore and Thailand.

Over the past 25 years, Vietnam has transformed from a low-income country into
one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with GDP per capita increasing nearly
tenfold from 1996 to 2021, which is supported by the strong socioeconomic status of a
young population and a rapidly growing middle class. Along with economic growth,
mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities in Vietnam have also skyrocketed thanks to
the progress of equitization and market liberalization.
What makes Vietnam attractive in the eyes of investors, is its young and dynamic
population, with an increasing average income in society. Out of your 100 million people,
nearly 45 million are now middle class. Young people, well-educated, and enjoying a
good education will be a strong point of Vietnam in the eyes of investors (MAF- VN
2021). These favorable demographic factors will help provide potential human resources
for the development of current and future technology businesses.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the economy. M&A activities in
Vietnam as well as globally decreased sharply due to cautious reactions from investors.
At the same time, conditions of global isolation hinder understanding, assessment, and
decision-making. This led to many deals having to be halted because buyers and
consultants incapability to carry out detailed appraisals, meetings, negotiations, etc. The
turmoil caused by Covid-19 in global markets has severely affected the M&A market,
according to a report by market research firm Euromonitor. In the first half of 2020, the
number of global M&A deals decreased by 25% year on year due to the Covid-19
pandemic.
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
In Vietnam alone, the total value of M&A in 2019 reached $7.2 billion, equaling
94.7% of the value in 2018. Due to the impact of Covid-19 as well as a number of other
factors, the M&A value in 2020 is expected continue to decline, estimated at 3.5 billion
USD, equal to 48.6% compared to 2019. Besides, Vietnam's M&A value is expected to
start recovering in mid-2021 to about 4.5 - 5 billion USD and reach 7 billion USD before
the pandemic by 2022 (CMAC).
According to Euromonitor, Vietnam is predicted to be fifth in the ranking with an
expansion rate of 23.67% between 2020 and 2021, after countries such as Singapore,
Ireland, the Philippines and Qatar. The M&A market continues to be led by foreign
investors, with a focus on four countries: Japan, Korea, Thailand and Singapore.

During the period of 2019 - 2020, the market recorded many more M&A deals such
as Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan) and Nomura Real Estate acquired 80% in phase II of
Vingroup's Grand Park project; Aozora Bank buys 15% shares of Orient Commercial
Joint Stock Bank; Lotte Chemical (Korea) acquired VinaPolytech Company; SCG Group
(Thailand) acquired Bien Hoa Packaging Company; etc. The proportion of M&A in
Vietnam by industry group is highly appreciated, respectively: Real estate, banking, retail
and technology (Vietnam M&A Forum - MAF).

According to Vietnam M&A Forum (MAF), the proportion of M&A value of
domestic investors tends to increase, with the initiative of private corporations. In 2018,
the proportion of deals valued by Vietnamese enterprises as buyers stood at 11.5%, but
the value of foreign investors still accounted for 88.5%. In the period of 2019 - 2020, the
value of M&A played by Vietnamese enterprises as the buyer accounts for one-third of
the total value of M&A conducted (Vietnam M&A Forum - MAF).

The situation of M&A activities in Vietnam (Business environment):
Vietnam's M&A market has grown strongly with thousands of successful deals,
reaching a total value of more than 50 billion USD. Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, and
Malaysia are the top 4 markets in terms of number of deals and private investment value
in Southeast Asia. Vietnam's economy will enjoy favorable conditions from participating
in many free trade agreements that have been and will come into effect.
Vietnam recorded 58 M&A deals in 2019 worth $2.6 billion, of which 17 were
domestic and 41 were foreign investors. In 2020, it is expected to reach 55 with a total
transaction of 1.7 billion USD, and the number of cross-border deals continues to
dominate the M&A market in Vietnam with 36 or 65% of total deals. By 2021, mergers
and acquisitions transactions may increase to $2.8 billion and $3.4 billion in 2022, of
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
which the number of deals will increase to 98 and 119 in the period 2021-2022 (Oxford
Economics).

In 2021, despite the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign investment
in Vietnam, including investment flows through M&A, still has growth. According to
data from KPMG Vietnam (a professional service provider in Vietnam), in the first 10
months of 2021, the M&A market has attracted more than $8.8 billion, up 17.9%
compared to 2020 and 13.7% compared to the year before the epidemic, 2019. As of the
end of November 2021, the total newly registered, adjusted investment capital, capital
contribution and share purchase by foreign investors reached 26.46 billion USD, up 0.1%
over the same period in 2020; in which, investment through capital contribution and share
purchase reached nearly 4.4 billion USD.

Along with the development of the economy, the M&A market in Vietnam shows
high stability, even strong growth in 2021. Mergers and Acquisitions Research Institute
CMAC Institute forecasts that the price of M&A value in 2021 in Vietnam will be at 4.5
5 billion USD, the market size will recover equivalent to the average level in the period
2014 - 2017.

In the future, M&A will create many Vietnamese corporations with a scale
comparable to large corporations in the region. M&A has become an important part of
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
Vietnam's economic picture. As was shown, M&A transactions also serve to alter the
seller's financial capabilities, and moreover offer up new prospects for the parties
involved. There are deals that generate immediate profits, but there are also deals that
help set the stage for the future. At that time, M&A was seen as an important tool to help
businesses “complete” the missing pieces. In Masan's case, that is the goal of becoming
an “online-offline integrated retail consumer” corporation.
1.2 Issue
The cooperation between Vingroup and Masan is a large-scale M&A transaction and
it is ranked among the highlights of our country in the period from 2019 to now. The
attraction of this deal comes from the novelty of Vingroup's business - Vingroup has
decided to swap all shares in VCM Company - which owns retail chains VinMart,
VinMart+ and VinEco into stock options.
Vingroup at that time was under pressure of cash flow and wanted to free up
economic resources to focus all economic resources on two fields: industry and
technology. Although it is the retailer with the largest number of points of sale in the
Vietnamese market, The break-even point for Vingroup's business operation has yet to be
reached. According to Vingroup's 2019 financial report, the retail segment is the
secondhighest revenue-generating business segment of the group with VND 23,571
billion, just behind real estate transfer. However, this is the second largest loss-making
business in this group with a 9-month loss of 3,461 billion VND, after the manufacturing
segment. Vincommerce is considered by Masan as an important piece to realize its
ambition to become an empire in the field of consumer goods - retail. Owning a large
system like Vinmart will help Masan optimize distribution channels, reduce the ratio of
intermediary costs, and bring great benefits in the long term.
However, entering the retail market will be a big challenge for Masan in the short
term. It is rare for any consumer goods producer to "consider" the retail sector as well.
Manufacturing and retail trade have always been two completely different fields of
activity. According to the annual statistics of the two companies, the pre-tax profit of
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
Masan Consumer reached more than 3,800 billion VND, but the VinCommerce system
lost 5,100 billion VND. Masan's revenue from consumer goods and food is similar to that
from the retail sector, which has recently gotten a boost. The reception of the system of
2,600 supermarkets and stores immediately increased Masan's labor size to over 20,000
people. That is, the size of Masan has almost doubled, and the number of employees has
almost tripled after this merger. In other words, this adoption remains a challenge.
From the above analysis, the author has come up with common problems of the
parties involved. The buyer (Masan) will bear the risk of integration and synergy from the
merger. The buyer will have to work out how to produce future cash flow to cover the
surplus (premium) that might also have to pay to gain control of the seller (Vingroup).
Sell-side shareholders benefit from the (high) valuation of the deal.
1.3 Objectives
Within the research scope of the report, the authors want to give an overview of the
deal between Masan and VinGroup through the successful merger of VinCommerce and
VinEco. Aim to better understand the steps of conducting a complete negotiation and
create more opportunities to hone skills and negotiation techniques not only for large
enterprises but also applicable to situations in everyday life. In addition, new negotiation
methods will transform Vingroup into a world-class corporation in the future. As a third
party, the authors will make reasonable assessments for the deal and at the same time
propose new negotiation methods to overcome difficulties at the time of the old deal. In
order to optimize operational strengths and win-win, to comprehensively focus on core
strengths, including:
Having an overall understanding of the retail sector in the Vietnamese market.
Analysis of Consumer Goods - Retail industry, reasons for negotiation Vingroup
and Masan.
Deeper analysis of the key points in the deal between the two sides.
Provide comments and feedback on the development of two businesses.
Evaluate the level of satisfaction as well as the effectiveness of this deal.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement)
Fisher, Ury (1991) built deal fails to produce results. In negotiation, BATNA is
considered not only as a backup plan but also as a lever to increase bargaining power
(DTAlamanda; POSaraswati; FSA Prabowo, Muhammad Azhari, 2017). Strong BATNA
in the negotiation improves the
outcome of the negotiators
better than the original bargaining area (Kim & Fragale 2005).
BATNA is a key factor determining the strength of each party in the negotiation
(Bazerman & Neale, 1992). Negotiators with better BATNA will have more bargaining
power and get better negotiating results than the other side (Gerard Beenena & John E.
Barbuto Jr.a, 2014). Although a negotiator's alternatives should in theory be easy to
evaluate, the effort to understand which alternatives represent one's BATNA often goes
uninvested.
To be valuable, options must be realistic and actionable. However, without the
investment of time, options are regularly included in options that will never meet one of
these criteria. When hard negotiators meet soft negotiators, hardline negotiators often
take their place, but at the expense of possibly damaging the long-term relationship
between the parties.
For example: The negotiation between LG Company and Vingroup. LG Electronics
plans to sell its smartphone factories in Brazil and Vietnam to focus on other business
areas and recoup the deficits of these factories in recent years. Vingroup is said to be the
right contractor for this transfer because Vingroup is currently developing and expanding
its technology segment.However, the result of the negotiation was a failure because the
price offered by Vingroup was quite low. LG Company decided to stop negotiating and
not cooperate with Vingroup but choose other potential buyers.
The BATNA concept can be seen in this situation, LG Electronics wants to resell its
smartphone factories at a price that can make up for the deficit that the factory has
the BATN
A
concept,
which
is the bes
t
alternative if the
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
offered, but Vingroup Group proposes a lower price than expected. LG Company, so LG
has offered a better alternative than choosing to find a buyer with a higher price offer, in
line with the price set by LG Company.
2.2 ZOPA
ZOPA is an area that is built from pre-set cut-off points between the parties,
including an area of agreement that can satisfy both parties (Fisher R, Ury WL, 1991).
Figure 9: ZOPA Method
Source: Financebiz
In a negotiation, whether it includes many possible transactions or just one option,
ZOPA - the area in which both parties can reach a mutually beneficial agreement is a
necessary condition to achieve agreement. Without ZOPA, any agreement would be
unacceptable to at least one party. (Rochelle-Leigh (Shelley) Rosenberg, 2011).
In order to have a workable area of agreement, the negotiating parties need to
understand the needs, values and interests of each other, then the parties need to work
towards a common goal and find an area. a combination containing the ideas of two
parties will then come up with a compromise and the parties reach an agreement in
negotiation. In some negotiations, negotiators may find themselves in a situation where
there is no clear ZOPA due to the overlapping of cut-off points of the two negotiating
parties (Raiffa, 1982; Thompson, Wang, & Gunia, 2010).
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
This leads to several potential outcomes for negotiations such as either party
accepting no-deal negotiation (O'Connor & Arnold, 2001; Thompson, 1998). Or another
outcome is that one of the two negotiators abandons their point of resistance and accepts
a deal worse than their point of resistance. Cohen, Leonardelli, & Thompson, 2014;
Tuncel, Mislin, Kesebir, & Pinkley, 2016)
For example: Company A is intending to sell 52% of its shares at the lowest average
price of VND 46,000/share with the intention of calling for investment in the company's
upcoming project, Company B. willing to buy at the price of 50,000 VND/share with the
aim of expanding the business area of his company.
In this situation, the ZOPA seen here is in the 2,000 dong range. During the
negotiation, any agreed price within this 2000 dong area can satisfy the needs of company
A and company B
2.3 Integrative negotiation
Some types of negotiation have never been used in all negotiation procedures,
although depending on the development and strategy in the negotiation process, many
types of negotiation are needed in one negotiation, so integrated negotiation emerges
(Llamazares and Nieto et al. , 2017).
The integrated negotiation approach produces better results and a more sustainable
winwin (Pruitt et al., 1983; Sebenius, 1992; Lewicki and Saunders, 1999). An integrated
negotiation process is made up of thoughts and opinions as a contributor rather than as a
competitor.(Pruitt et al., 1983). Achieving the best outcome is the goal of integrative
negotiation. To be able to solve the problem and come up with a solution to the
negotiation that both parties can accept, it is necessary to identify the interests and
strategies of the two sides to find common values. (Koning and van Dijk, 2013).
Negotiators never place a high value on how much they will receive as an individual
party. Instead, they focus their efforts on improving overall outcomes through
collaboration between parties. Integrated negotiation tactics are only effective when fair
lOMoARcPSD|44862240
procedures are followed and fair outcomes are achieved. This often means that
individuals approach the negotiating table with a mindset of partners and collaborators
rather than competitors (Getsmarter, Blog, 2020).
For example: Company A and company B are both in the negotiation phase to
acquire two projects C and D that are attractive and influential in the business market.
After the negotiation, company B will hold 70% of the shares, company A holds 30%.
However, company A will have more time and effort to develop the rest of the company.
As for company B, it continues to dominate the business market with projects C and D.
Besides, company A earns a large profit after the transfer, while company B reaps profits
from the transfer continue to do business with projects C and D.
