There is a growing appreciation, amongst academics as well as policy makers, of the critical role small- and medium-sized enterprises play in the economy. But, it is reported that there is a positive relationship between firm size and the frequency of assessing certain information sources such as sector legislation, annual reports, and external consulting. The difference of information acquisition capability between SMEs and large firms is partially attributable to SMEs’ limited resources such as financial constraints, and lack of employees available for gathering information and analyzing them. To break the vicious circle, policymakers for SMEs are encouraged to develop appropriate schemes to enable SMEs to use external consulting or make useful information for SMEs more available in the public domain.
