However, corporate governance is not related only with big enterprises, in fact, SMEs are also targeting to benefits from this new managerial system. As in Algeria the SMEs are considered to be the largest tissue of enterprises mode, therefore corporate governance begins to maintain its pillar inside the Algeria SMEs. They are seeking to find the best ways to implement corporate governance so as to get the utmost benefit from corporate governance, so the objective is not only to show that the enterprise is implementing corporate governance practices but to enhance the system of management of the enterprise on the other hand. Through this paper in both the theoretical and empirical part we did shed light on the corporate governance on the Algerian small and medium sized enterprise where the objectives was to state or to identify the determinants of corporate governance quality in the Algerian SMEs enterprises, this paper has come to a set of results as the following: • The ownership structure and the role of partners inside the SMEs are determinants of corporate governance quality, that means as long as the ownership structure is clear inside the enterprise and the partners maintain a clear position in terms of practicing their rights and doing their duties, this would bring a good index of corporate governance quality. • Maintaining a good relationship between the owners of the enterprise and the stakeholders is an essential determinant of corporate governance quality in Algerian SMEs, this means that the enterprise would have a good practice of corporate governance as long as the relation between the owners and the stakeholders is characterized in a strong manner and it goes well. • External regulations and transparency also are among the determinants of corporate governance quality, this means that as much as the regulation and laws that organize the environment of business are enabled in favor of the enterprises activities it would give a good index of corporate governance quality. • The concept of corporate governance is not enabled as best as it should be in Algerian SMEs.Article
