BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
To improve the
performances of small and medium scale enterprise, one supposes to consider the
effective and efficient management of such firm to maximize profit and also for
the enterprise to grow.
Before this research
goes on, the researcher will try and define what small scale enterprise is all
about, “small-scale enterprise is a manufacturing, processing, and servicing
industry with a capital base of N150000 which include working capital but
exclude cost of hand and it have a labour size of 11-100 workers.
Small-scale enterprise includes the following: retailing, whole selling,
research and development, servicing, consulting, and manufacturing.
Many small-scale
enterprises in Nnewi South Local Government Area lacks basic managerial skills
and talented men as managers. Many entrepreneurs who manager the small
scale enterprise in the area lacks these skills necessary for the planning and
organizing their human and material resources. It is a well known fact
that most multinational corporations as food and general motors and many of
today’s Nigeria giant & enterprises like Ekene Dili Chukwu Nig. Ltd, G.U.O
group of companies, Dangote group all started as small business outfits.
Therefore, something must be done to encourage this form of business (small scale
enterprise) realizing that they have a high mortality.
1.2 STATEMENT

The gains of small-scale
enterprise cannot be over emphasized because of their contribution to the
national economy. The worsening economic situation of the nation from

173), the advantages are as follows;
i.
It is easy to set up,
ii.
Simple administration,
iii.
Provision of employment,
iv.

v.
It provide better service to local market some disadvantages are
vi.
Inadequate management ability
vii.
Inadequate financing
viii.
A poor competitive position
These disadvantages of
small-scale enterprise prompted the federal government to establish the
Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) to encourage more investors to set up
business, awareness was created to that effect and credits were also
given. So because of the advantage of small-scale enterprise, it is very
important to improve the performance of these enterprises.
This work is therefore aimed
at providing answers to the following questions:
(1)

Anambra State?

Why do some fail, while others succeed?

Why do some firms perform most effectively than others?

South LGA in particular as most of the populace mainly engaged in white collar
