“…Couplerun companies are one of the special features of Taiwan's SMEs. On the surface, the husband plays a leading role; however, the reality is more subtle, and the role of the wife is influential as well (Yu, 2009). 3 Peter Lo and his wife started their business in 1975, turning their living room into a factory.…”

This article analyzes how entrepreneurs create wealth and capabilities in the early stages by practicing original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and later on transcend to original brand manufacturing (OBM). The author deliberately selects three cases of Taiwan's firms (Johnson Health Technology Corporation, CVC Technology Corporation, and HTC Corporation) to study firm growth and firm transformation by incorporating concepts from research fields of entrepreneurship, strategic management, andleadership. How Taiwan's firms thrive from transforming to create own brands and how they deal with ensuing issues of branding dilemma offer a useful lesson for latecomer economies.

“…The potential role of intersubjectivity in these distinct contexts has yet to be explored. However, the reliance of owner-managers on their personal assessments (Nooteboom, 1988), discussions of tacit understanding and knowledge management (Edwards, 2007;Edwards et al, 2007;Yu, 2009) and the role of individual subjectivity in relational development (Jayasinghe et al, 2008), have suggested something of the idea's relevance. Moreover, intersubjectivity has allowed Sharifi and Zhang (2009) to draw out the relative unimportance of truth in the negotiation of organizational definitions, broadly in line with considerations of SMEs as shared communities of meaning (Rigg, 2005).…”

“…Yu (2009) argues that a typical small enterprise comprises three major components: entrepreneur, boss's wife and core team in Taiwan. Also, characteristic of a SME, at times an entrepreneurial firm has one key decision maker and very few subordinates in managerial positions-often referred to as an owner-managed firm (Konorti, 2010).…”

This research aims to explore the effect of perceptions of bosses' wives involvement on the organizational climate and the moderating effect of employees' personal attributes on the relationship between business involvement of the boss's wife and organizational climate. For this research, employees of 280 small and medium enterprises in Taiwan were randomly sampled for a questionnaire survey. Results of this research show that bosses' wives are involved in a wide variety of business administration activities. In addition to the management of financial activities, the involvement of the boss's wife has a positive effect on the relationships between employees in the organization. Furthermore, employees' personal attributes were found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the involvement of the boss's wife and the organizational climate. Finally, this research made suggestions for the bosses' wives relating to their involvement in business administration from the aspect of human resource management.RéSUMé. Cette étude a pour but d'explorer l'effet de la façon dont est perçue l'implication de la conjointe du patron sur le climat organisationnel et l'effet modérateur des caractéristiques personnelles des employés sur la relation entre l'implication de la conjointe du patron dans l'entreprise et le climat organisationnel. Aux fins de cette étude, les employés de 280 petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) de Taiwan furent sélectionnés de façon aléatoire pour un sondage par questionnaire. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que les conjointes des patrons s'impliquent dans plusieurs aspects des activités de gestion de l'entreprise.
