Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Provide more details on the Underpinning theory used for the current study and establish a coherence with the tested relationships. 

There is different between reporting literature and critically appraising the literature. For the most part, the literature review section is missing the critical appraisal and evaluation of extant literature. 
Bring more light on the significance of the study in the introduction section. Focus on why this study is significant.
The sampling strategy needs to provide more details such as how many questionnaires were distributed, the response rate, the ethical measures taken to ensure objectivity in data collection, how good response rate was ensured, how the respondents (microentrepreneurs) were approached and so on. 


In the implications section, try to have a broader perspective so that the section is equally viable for international audience.

This study uses quantitative analysis studies the relationship between enterprise management and restructuring of small and medium-sized enterprises. The data of 186 informal enterprises are used to find evidence. The research findings are of certain value for enhancing the development of SMEs in specific countries. The research method is relatively proper, the data source is clear, the implementation process of the method is clearly explained, the content is good, the viewpoints are correct, and the arguments are sufficient. The structure is clear. The research results have meaningful contents.

My concern about this article is mainly on the part of theoretical framework building on how aligning the SHRM structure with the formalization of the Company. SHRM have specific value and content case by case, how can we or what are the rationale which can support the aligning in this paper?

My suggestion is to publish this paper after minor revision.

1. There could be improved in the theoretical building part of the study.
2. It is needed to have further discuss of the differences between the findings and conclusions of this study with the previous similar studies.
3. The research gap and the innovation of this paper is crucial, and it should be reflected in the abstract and in the article.
