| description | Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) today constitute a major portion of the
economy of Singapore, in terms of employment, contribution to the gross domestic
products (GDP), and foreign exchange earnings. The quality of their businesses, the
comprehensiveness of their services and the level of skills will help determine how
competitive the big enterprises can be. However, continuous strong growth of SMEs
within the domestic market cannot be sustained and the time has come for local SMEs
to look beyond Singapore for trade and investment opportunities.
Recognizing the significance of SMEs in helping Singapore to develop an external
wing, the objective of this report is to study the prospects oflocal SMEs venturing into
China’s manufacturing industry and the possible problems they may face. We will also
investigate the reasons behind SMEs venturing abroad and why China is regarded by
many Singapore manufacturers as the ideal place to establish their production bases.
For our survey, we sent our questionnaires to 110 small to medium enterprises and
obtained responses from 34. The data collected was then analyzed to give an insight to
our study. Interviews with some local investors were also conducted to reinforce our
understanding of the investment environment in China.
We hope that this project will provide local investors with useful information for
research before they venture into the Chinese market. Although China has
unprecedented opportunities for SMEs, but at the same time, they will face many stem
challenges and difficulties which cannot be overlooked. |
