Description:

This paper investigates, using a secondary research approach, the current business policies of the Chinese government in regards to both the general business and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector since the commencement of the open door government strategy in 1978. Next, the author reports that the Chinese SME sector has adapted successful to this new private ownership economic model; however, he concludes that much of this growth is due to the general level of economic growth as opposed to any specific policy towards SMEs. The paper suggests that the Chinese government can promote the activities of the SME sector more effectively in the future by moving away from its current approach of piece-meal reform policies to developing a single and coherent strategy. A table is included in the paper.

From the Paper:

"Education is seen as another factor, which is important with relation to the SME sector and Chinese government policy, and one that would appear to be hotly debated amongst the business, academic and policy making communities. While Li et al (2003) indicate that the government has done much to unlock the potential of entrepreneurs in China, the authors indicate that enterprise education and the education of entrepreneurs in higher education has been one of the fundamental weaknesses of Chinese business policy. Yet, debates over policy relate not only the lack of development in entrepreneurial education but to more fundamental considerations and how government policy can be designed to benefit the SME sector. Yang (1998) for instance debates the clash of policy in China with regard to whether SMEs would be better served through vocational training or general education, while vocational training, traditionally favoured under socialism provides a high number of technical skills for the SME sector. Others believe that a change in government policy to focus more upon general education would be of greater benefit, providing managers and entrepreneurs with a more rounded level of education.
"In supporting the argument that the lack of business education within China is leading to detrimental affects upon the SME sector, studies by Carsten et al (2002) indicate that SMEs within China suffer from a decadency in four key educational areas, namely, finance, supply and marketing, human resource management skills and innovation."
