17. China is regarded as having the most
competitive SMEs.
Followed by North Asian markets
Japan, Hongkong, Korea and Singapore
Private-owned enterprises have chosen the
highly centralized family style to be their
ownership capital structure.
18. Change in ownership is a dynamic
evolution, which, however, is restrained by
external institutional environment to appear
to be ultra-stable. The changes in the
corporate governance system are often more
slow than necessary and, in some cases, are
not even made at all. This mismatch, even if
transitory, could stop the growth of family
firms
19. Combining the modern market rules and the
traditional Chinese culture.
Admission of the difference in knowledge and
capability among people.
Ownership and property rights should be
unambiguous
Improvement of internal management and
training of talents to increase competitiveness.
Rely NOT on the network-based but the rule-
based development.
20. There is a growing need for greater
transparency and corporate governance
among SME’s.
SME’s are facing the same problems all over
the world.
SME’s aren’t the only ones experiencing
problems in corporate governance and
succession.
