President’s Message

Our focus in this journal is usually on large, established organisations with top-tier governance frameworks. That makes sense, of course, in terms of learning from best practices, but organisations in the above category will always be – whether here in Hong Kong or globally – in a small minority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute the backbone of economies worldwide and, among them, startups deserve special attention for their part in driving transformative change and shaping the future of industries and communities.

本刊通常聚焦于拥有顶级治理框架的大型成熟机构。当然，从学习最佳实践的角度而言这合乎逻辑，但无论在香港还是全球，这类机构始终是少数。中小型企业(SMEs)才是世界经济的支柱，而其中初创企业尤需关注——它们推动变革，塑造着行业与社会的未来。
