Good Governance for Small Businesses: Yay or Nay?
Latest speakers at the Caribbean Corporate Governance conference 30 Oct announced!
Small businesses can be complicated and more so if it is a family business. Challenges include leaders wearing several hats, increasing competition in the marketplace, generation gaps and lack of innovation to name a few. But today, Caribbean customers can purchase anything, anywhere in the world. So how do you stand against the competition? How can you participate amongst larger players and suppliers in the market?
The Caribbean Corporate Governance conference is pleased to announce we have a great line up of speakers on the panel discussion entitled, ‘Governance code for SMEs: Yay or Nay?’
Do the standard rules of corporate governance apply to SMEs? In this session, our regional panel will discuss the importance of employing a governance code for SMEs.
Stephanie Pemberton, CEO/Founder, of Bad Granny Media, a marketing, research and content creation agency that manages advertising campaigns for corporate clientele says, ‘I have decided to join this panel on Corporate Governance, because I strongly believe that a lack of corporate governance in developing countries, like Trinidad and Tobago plays a major role in the country’s inability to diversify and progress – and I fully support education regarding Corporate Governance. Entrepreneurs who start up businesses, are not necessarily equipped to put systems in place in order to manage the inflow of business operations, that may come as a result of growth in sales and as such they are not able to scale as they would like to, because of a lack of regulations an implementation of those regulations, scaling becomes a challenge and I believe that a conference like this can revolutionize the way we look at Corporate Governance – so that it is not put on the back burner, but identified as an imperative to the success of a full functioning and sustainable business and economy.”
Dr. Sookram, Director – Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility at the Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business also shared, “Considering the importance of SMEs in the economy, adopting appropriate governance practices is essential for enhancing their growth, competitiveness and sustainability. Being a member of the panel is therefore an exciting and equally important opportunity to inform the discussion on SME governance”
