56、是要想面對新的新商業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)和為了企業(yè)未來的生存考慮，財務(wù)管理就是至關(guān)重要的。</p><p><b>　　簡介</b></p><p>　　中小企業(yè)在馬來西亞經(jīng)濟中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。2011馬來西亞經(jīng)濟報告指出，馬來西亞有645136家中小企業(yè)，占企業(yè)總數(shù)的97.3%。而且，中小企業(yè)雇傭了700萬勞動力中的370萬名，占國家所有勞動力的52.7%。2011年總共占總產(chǎn)出

57、的28.5%，2000年只有22.2%，這也看出中小企業(yè)的作用越來越大。</p><p>　　關(guān)于中小企業(yè)管理問題的文獻已經(jīng)有很多了。但是另一方面，幾乎沒有文獻研究財務(wù)管理，特別是發(fā)展中國家的，盡管很多人知道財務(wù)管理在企業(yè)管理中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。馬來西亞中央銀行關(guān)于中小企業(yè)的研究報告（2003）指出，中小企業(yè)的關(guān)鍵因素之一是應(yīng)該在長期發(fā)展中生存下來，在全球財務(wù)緊縮的環(huán)境下。這將確保所有可用的商業(yè)資源能夠有效地使用

59、國和韓國類似的定義。</p><p>　　最初，馬來西亞中小企業(yè)是指總營業(yè)額不超過2.5億馬幣或是生產(chǎn)和銷售雇員數(shù)量不超過150個的、總營業(yè)額不超過5百萬馬幣或是服務(wù)和其他部門雇員數(shù)量不超過50個的企業(yè)。隨著經(jīng)濟形勢和改變和商業(yè)趨勢的全球化，2013年7月11日，馬來西亞總理Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak宣布，新的中小企業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)將在2014年1月1日生效。</p><p&g

60、t;　　表1 是中小企業(yè)的新分類</p><p>　　新的定義更加的綜合化，涉及到了包括建筑業(yè)在內(nèi)的所有經(jīng)濟部門，也包括采礦和挖掘業(yè)。人們希望這可以使得更多的公司能夠被劃分為中小企業(yè)，使得比例達(dá)到98.5%，特別是從服務(wù)業(yè)到促使國家向高收入國家轉(zhuǎn)型，通過中小企業(yè)總體規(guī)劃的驅(qū)動。2013年，實施了155個項目，財務(wù)貢獻達(dá)到了184億馬幣，惠及467838家中小企業(yè)。</p><p>　　隨著

61、政府提供的各種利好政策，中小企業(yè)應(yīng)該抓住這些機會來進行擴張。然而，管理者需要學(xué)習(xí)最新的知識和管理技能，以便能夠在當(dāng)前商業(yè)環(huán)境和激烈的競爭中成功地管理自己的公司。許多馬來西亞公司都是自己管理，沒有具有專業(yè)背景的人才，基于這一事實，可能導(dǎo)致各種管理問題。最常見的問題就是財務(wù)管理問題。</p><p><b>　　中小企業(yè)的財務(wù)管理</b></p><p>　　財務(wù)管理是經(jīng)

63、計、資本預(yù)算和運營資本。研究也強調(diào)，馬來西亞中小企業(yè)財務(wù)管理工具的使用率是很低的。表明，大多數(shù)中小企業(yè)在進行合適的財務(wù)計劃和控制、財務(wù)會計和運營資本管理，這些組成部分被看成是財務(wù)管理的核心要素。然而，另外三個要素被忽視了，被看成是財務(wù)管理的補充要素。</p><p>　　Agyei-Mensah實施的一個小規(guī)模研究表明，資金提供者和外部賬戶的影響是促使中小企業(yè)采取合適的財務(wù)管理的最重要的因素。另一方面，由于缺乏內(nèi)

64、部會計人員和資金去雇傭高質(zhì)量的會計，中小企業(yè)面臨理解會計賬戶和實施合適的財務(wù)管理的困難。</p><p><b>　　方法</b></p><p>　　半結(jié)構(gòu)性訪談在35個自愿參加的中小企業(yè)中實施。數(shù)據(jù)收集的過程花費了兩個月，因為從自愿參加的中小企業(yè)中收集回復(fù)的過程。訪談被分為兩個主要部分。A部分是各行各業(yè)訪談人員的人口統(tǒng)計因素概況。這一部分是進行背景信息訪談，包括雇

65、主類型、企業(yè)年限、創(chuàng)辦資本、資本來源、管理時間、雇員數(shù)量和老板的教育背景。中小企業(yè)涵蓋了各種企業(yè)大小和地理位置。 </p><p>　　同時，B部分主要關(guān)注財務(wù)管理活動和相關(guān)實踐的問題。最初，為了理解回答者的行為，使用適用表來描述數(shù)據(jù)。然后，進行更進一步的分析：將參與的中小企業(yè)的關(guān)于優(yōu)勢和劣勢的回答進行分類，量化結(jié)果。</p><p><b>　　結(jié)果和討論</b>

66、;</p><p>　　35個中小企業(yè)參加了研究，根據(jù)概況可以將它們分為獨資經(jīng)營和包含集中類型企業(yè)的合伙經(jīng)營，見表2.</p><p><b>　　表2.中小企業(yè)資料</b></p><p>　　從中小企業(yè)的經(jīng)營年限來看，一半以上參與公司是0-3年（19.5%），接下來是4-6年（24.1%），7-9年（13.8%），超過40%的企業(yè)是10年或

67、10年以上。74%的公司最初的資金來源是自己的存款，或是從親戚朋友借來的。25.88%少于5000馬幣，43.5%的為20001及以上馬幣。然而，不到7%的創(chuàng)業(yè)資金是來自商業(yè)銀行和政府支持，這種途徑的資金一半超過50000馬幣。令人驚訝的是，幾乎一半（49.5%）的創(chuàng)始人每天花9-12小時來管理公司。</p><p>　　了解創(chuàng)始人的教育背景也是很重要的，因為這顯示了他們愿意通過培訓(xùn)、研討班獲得新知識的程度。這些

68、項目大多由貿(mào)易與工業(yè)部下面的機構(gòu)進行管理，像是中小企業(yè)集團口袋計劃，馬來西亞投資發(fā)展部門的國內(nèi)投資活動，馬來西亞生產(chǎn)力公司的創(chuàng)意創(chuàng)新圈公約，政府鼓勵中小企業(yè)使用這些項目中獲得的技能和知識，使得它們能夠采用緊縮的財務(wù)管理。</p><p><b>　　中小企業(yè)的財務(wù)優(yōu)勢</b></p><p>　　企業(yè)的財務(wù)優(yōu)勢可以分為幾個方面。分類的細(xì)節(jié)詳見表3。在35個回答者中，只

70、金融機構(gòu)或政府企業(yè)提供的財務(wù)設(shè)施來幫助他們擁有更強大的財務(wù)能力，在更具有競爭性的世界中經(jīng)營企業(yè)。另外17%的受訪者將財務(wù)穩(wěn)定性作為他們的財務(wù)優(yōu)勢，政府企業(yè)的支持、以現(xiàn)金制做生意和其他方面詳見5.1中小企業(yè)的財務(wù)劣勢</p><p>　　關(guān)于財務(wù)劣勢的回答，更多的參與則（33%）能夠確定他們的財務(wù)劣勢，和財務(wù)優(yōu)勢（28%）相比。40%的受訪者強調(diào)，財務(wù)劣勢的主要方面是資本短缺，隨后是不完整的會計記錄（16%）。財務(wù)

71、表現(xiàn)的惡化是第三個方面，有13%的受訪者，從金融機構(gòu)和政府機構(gòu)獲得貸款是第四個方面（11%）。對此的可能解釋是由于財務(wù)表現(xiàn)的問題和不完善的會計記錄，中小企業(yè)從任何機構(gòu)獲得貸款是困難的，這使得它們面臨有效運營企業(yè)的資本短缺問題。表4中揭示的回答是高昂的運營成本和收集問題。</p><p>　　表4 金融弱勢的表現(xiàn)</p><p><b>　　6、結(jié)論</b></p
