Abstract:

The focus of this study is to explore trust between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large companies in interorganizational relationships (IORs) that are mandated by government policy. Due to the important contribution made by SMEs to national economies and to the fact that their growth is pivotal for entrepreneurial activities, many governments have made significant efforts to enhance their performance. However, SMEs are constrained by their lack of resources and experience. Some countries have required large companies to collaborate with SMEs to overcome these constraints. Whi

However, the human factor of the undertaking is as of yet underdeveloped in extant literature.

Abstract:

Multiple Large Shareholder Structure (MLSS) has been proposed as an effective corporate governance mechanism limiting expropriation of minority shareholders by controlling shareholders (e.g., Maury and Pajuste, 2005). However, there is a counter argument suggesting that large shareholders may collude and expropriate minority interests more. In particular, evidence on the impact of MLSS on firms corporate governance is limited.
