This study aimed at investigating the practice of governance in small firms and compares differences between firms in Germany and Scotland. The research project drew particular attention to the influence of corporate governance on the firm’s ability to change. Thus a broader scope of corporate governance is taken which is normally discussed from a control perspective. From a practical point of view, our study’s findings may help managing directors of smaller firms to better understand and exploit the benefits of corporate governance in their efforts to tackle the firm’s organizational development. The findings may also be used by business consultants helping them to expand their service offer regarding corporate governance.
