There is significant research done on this area, and it has been identified that presently geopolitical tensions, internal governance and team management are some of the hurdles faced by SMEs in engaging in corporate diversification. The research has engaged in an interview of 5 respondents who work in senior manager positions in different SMEs in China that have expanded into the EU. The findings illustrate the need for legal teams and regulatory compliance audits, along with an agile management and compliance monitoring dashboard for effective governance at par with the trade and investment agreements.
