Family Business and SMEs
指出家族企业和中小企业贡献全球GDP的70%-90%，但在新兴经济体的研究不足，并举例说明这些企业在拉美和中国的重要作用。
Family firms and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) contribute about 70 to 90 percent of global GDP For instance, scholars have looked into whether family firms have distinct goals, approach towards risks, governance structures and strategies, and whether they outperform nonfamily firms and why While research on family business and SMEs is still relatively not in the spotlight, such research in emerging and transitional economies is even more lacking. However, these firms play a critical role in their countries, if not more so than in mature markets. For example, family businesses contribute to about 60 percent of the aggregate GNP in Latin America. In China, about 67% of the firms were non-state owned and non-state-owned firms contributed to 47% of the R&D in 2017 (Report of the Top 500 Firms in China, 2017). The majority of these firms are family businesses and/or SMEs.
