A Comparative Analysis of Managerial Practices among SMEs from Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand

The primary purpose of this article is to compare and contrast the managerial practices and problems faced by the SMEs operating in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. While such a comparative analysis has been done in the past, this study differs from previous studies in two ways. First, the same questionnaire is used across the three countries thus allowing for more consistent comparison. Second, this study is the first to examine human resource management problems and practices.
