The General Director of Denscombe Corp, Professor Nigel Denscombe emphasized that the M&A strategy will be the best option for the Vietnamese market in its initial stage to make breakthroughs in economic growth.

Professor Nigel Denscombe advised that businesses should devise a clear strategy and orientations before making M&A deals.

The Deputy Director of the PetroVietnam Securities Incorporated, Marc Djandji, said that businesses should be ready for M&A deals, especially in the ASEAN region.
