Now, Technology and Small and Medium-sized enterprises have extended remarkable progress in laying down modern corporate governance policies and practices. But so far, challenges still exist.This paper starts from the basic theory of corporate governance. First of all, we use normative study to introduce the theoretical basis for governance structure and the relationship between corporate governance structure and corporate performance for Science and Technology and Small and Medium-sized enterprises and put forward some hypothesizes about the relationship between performance and corporate governance structure of Technology and Small and Medium-sized enterprises.
