However, SMEs in emerging markets struggle to survive and grow for a variety of reasons, including a lack of finance and management skills. Most of the growth-constraining factors in small businesses can be traced to weak corporate governance (CG) practices. As a seasoned practitioner in the field of corporate governance, Dr. Almona sees the need to build capacity to enhance sustainability in the SME sector.

SME owner-managers need to understand and adapt to the level of formality expected and required by potential employees and providers of funds. This book provides ways and models that will encourage the adoption of sound corporate governance principles and practices for SMEs in Africa, to the benefit of society.
