Yogyakarta. Respondents in this study involved SMEs in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Five family businesses and five SME scale non-family businesses in the Yogyakarta Special Region were selected in each sampling location. The sample was determined by the convenience sampling method. This study will first examine the application of governance in family businesses and non-family businesses separately, then compare the application of governance between the two types of business.This study indicates that each type of business has carried out corporate governance in its business, but not maximally. There are advantages and disadvantages in its application. Most of the reasons for these differences in implementation arise from the basic characteristics that differentiate family businesses and non-family businesses, namely the ownership structure and the business structure. The more concentrated ownership and business structure, the less transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness the company tends to be. On the other hand, in companies with more dispersed levels of ownership concentration and business structure, the application of the five aspects of corporate governance will increase.Keywords: Good Corporate Governance, Small and Medium Enterprises, Family and Non-Family Business

It is determined that family business in foreign countries is mostly carried out in farming. The world family business is characterized by two features. First of all, the preservation of a huge number of small and medium enterprises created by family members. The second feature is the presence of huge family corporations and holdings with a world name and age history, which are inherited 3-6 times.

Foreign experience proves that family businesses can be created both in the form of commercial enterprises and in the form of a legal entity, which allows companies to choose the rules of their own activities; an automatic registration procedure is applied, which reduces time costs; the law defines the list of persons who may belong to family members; joint and several liability of family members under the terms of the contract is applied, which strengthens the liability of all family members for the results of activities; There is a distribution of profits depending on the amount of contributions of each family member, which creates the interest of all persons in increasing the profits of the enterprise.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance mechanisms, i.e. board structure and ownership structure on the underpricing of small and medium enterprises (SME) IPOs in India. Design/methodology/approach Most of the extant empirical research studies have either pivoted on mainstream IPOs or SMEs IPOs in developed economies, but the present study examines 200 SME IPOs issued during Feb 2012 to April 2017. Multiple regressions have been used to examine the impact of the corporate governance mechanisms on raw return (RR). Furthermore, robustness of the results has been verified through the employment of market-adjusted excess return (MAER) as an additional proxy of underpricing. Findings The results highlight that board size, inverse of board committees, board independence, board age, board directorships positively, and top ten shareholding negatively influence RR. Further, direction of promoter ownership variable indicates curvilinear relationship with underpricing. Other explanatory variables used in model lack statistical validity. Similar results have been obtained when variables were regressed against MAER with related board members being additionally significant in model. Practical implications The findings suggest that Indian investors do take cues from board structure and ownership patterns for making investment decisions in small- and medium-sized firms. Further, the results are also helpful to top management in structuring their boards. Originality/value The present research enriches SME IPOs underpricing literature because the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on unadjusted returns is relatively under explored particularly within the context of small- and medium-sized firms.
