The analysis of corporate governance in small and medium-sized firms has been a much-neglected aspect of study in the field of corporate governance. This essential volume provides an authoritative overview of research in this topical field by successfully linking classical papers on corporate governance to the specific aspects in SMEs. The purpose of this volume is not only to provide a review of the literature on governance in SMEs, but also from other social sciences and management perspectives. This collection, with an original introduction by the editors, will be of great interest not only to lecturers and students interested in corporate governance but also to managers and policy makers.

“公司治理奖学金has been considerably enriched over the past decade as more scholars have begun to ask how governance problems vary across organizational contexts. Scholars seeking to understand and build on those developments will find this volume a very useful resource. In it, Audretsch and Lehmann have assembled several “classic” pieces of governance scholarship alongside a number of more recent pieces that point the way towards promising new avenues of research.’
