| Summary/Abstract |
This study aims to achieve two major objectives. First, to assess policies and initiatives implemented for the development of Malaysian SMEs, from the Eighth Malaysia Plan (8MP) to the current Eleventh Malaysia Plan (11MP), and under the SME Masterplan (2012–20). The second goal is to examine the performance and contribution of these SMEs to the economy. The study provides a critical analysis of the adequacy of the 11MP for SME development and seeks to determine whether its targeted goals can actually be achieved by 2020. It utilizes content analysis and the notion of embeddedness to examine an enormous volume of fragmented text from the existing body of government published reports available on the topic of SME development and the way forward.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study grapples with two key puzzles: first, what happens when companies established as ethnic-based enterprises, including by migrants, are passed on to the next generation? Second, do these migrant businesses remain as ethnic enterprises after generational transitions? The empirical focus of this study is Malaysia, a country with one of the largest ethnic Indian populations outside India. To provide insights into these questions, this article pays particular attention to how an ethnic enterprise functions, in terms of types of goods and services produced and its targeted market, after the emergence of a new generation of owners with more class resources. The evidence from this study will provide insights into the validity of the concept of ethnic enterprise following a generational transition.
