Small to Medium Enterprise Governance

Examining the governance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), this book challenges the prevailing corporate governance frameworks designed for large public companies, such as those established by the ASX and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It argues that these frameworks, rooted in shareholder primacy, overlook the unique characteristics and needs of SMEs, which play a vital role in the economy. By exploring the concept of SME Governance, the book highlights the potential irrelevance of dominant governance themes for the commercial operations of smaller businesses.
