Abstract: The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economic and social development of the country, often acting as a nursery of entrepreneurship and innovation. They also play a key role in the development of the economy with their effective, efficient, flexible and innovative entrepreneurial spirit. The MSME sector contributes significantly to the country's manufacturing output, employment and exports and is credited with generating the highest employment growth as well as accounting for a major share of industrial production and exports. MSMEs have been globally considered as an engine of economic growth and as key instruments for promoting equitable development. The MSME sector in India is highly heterogeneous in terms of the size of the enterprises, variety of products, services and levels of technology. The sector not only plays a critical role in providing employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also helps in industrialization of rural and backward areas, reducing regional imbalances and assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth..........

Abstract: The collapse of major companies across the world like Ansett Airlines, Retailer Harris Scarfe, Enron and WorldCom has triggered a global consciousness to clear out the problem of corporate governance. Since the collapses in Australia there has been increased focus on disclosure and the independence of auditors and directors and the need for the board to act in the best interests of the stakeholders, not themselves. A study by Lockhart and Taitoko (2005) examined causes surrounding the collapse of Ansett Holdings Ltd and the largest corporate loss of Air New Zealand, which they attributed to a failure of governance to act in the organization's (stakeholders) interests. It is against this background that this paper investigates corporate governance practices within Med-view Airline. Data was collected through interview guide from directors and senior managers in Med-view Airline Limited..........
