1.0 INTRODUCTION
The roles played by small
scale industries in the growth of any economy cannot be over emphasized. This
has been the singular reason why both government groups and individuals in
business always place greater emphasis. on the unique human activity. This also
accounts for its dominating prominence in government policy statement. Much
multinational or even supranational business today stated as small scale
business. This therefore implies that small scale is the beginning of every big
business.
The present day America is
the richest country in the world judging by the economy. The history of
industrialization in this God’s own country has shown the absolute importance
of small scale industries in the economy and scheme of things. careful study
and investigation has released that in America, only 1/10 of 10% of the total
number of firms in the economy employ more than 2,500 workers. It is also
further show that 89% of the total firms in the economy employ less than 100
employees, and 65% having less than 20 employees in their payroll.
As a standard of judgment
using number of employees, this has a least proved that in spite of here
economic glory, America is not land of giant corporations. Many countries of
today like, South Korea, Taiwan, Honkong and Singapore are making enormous
successes in the world export industrial market as a result of emphasis on
small scale industries.
As a way out, the efforts of
every segment of Nigerian government for small scale industries enhancement
cannot therefore be surprising thus, our part administrators, national planners
and development project imitators cannot excuse their lack of careful planning
in this regard, therefore, following the result of these falterers in our
national development economy and planning strategy, the continue
ineffectiveness of our small scale industries have promote the reason for this
work. The research work therefore is an attempt to looking into a key and
embodying factor in small scale industrial effectiveness.
Entrepreneurship
effectiveness in small scale industries the scope of the project would be
limited to a case study of Macon’s Bakery industry in Enugu state capital. The
general opinion reveled that in spite of its key roles and functions in the
success of any ventures or business adequate entrepreneurial impact has neither
been felt nor matched the search for small-scale industries enhancement and
growth.
Investors have not shown
commendable interest to accept entrepreneurial role, and this has led to a low
venturing rate in spite of all this, there are still multifarious prospective
areas in the manufacturing, merchandising and service sectors of the economy
that exist, this was actualized through the various efforts made by the
government, private individuals, industrial and financial institutions and
others commercial agencies towards including small scale enterprise. For
effectiveness, there is need to make adequate appraisal of entrepreneurial role
towards funding of the enterprises to actual managing. These measures will
ensure that the entrepreneurs achieve the reward profits.
As we said earlier, small is
the beginning of large scale, the effort on small scale enterprises were
stepping-stones to large-scale corporation.
Prosperous individual like
Ekenedirichukwu, Ifesinachi, Dantal, Hamza Adebowale, Samusie and a host of
others started as a small scale business. It is a waste of time for one to keep
waiting for large capital to accumulate before establishment thus the statement
“from grass to
grace”.
Taking the manpower and
development needs of this country into consideration, any capital savings must
be reinvested for further capital formation in the best way for multiplier
effect on the economy towards. Small-scale enterprises promotion. In effect,
our dreams will come true and fruitful if the necessary linkage between
small-scale enterprise and small- scale entrepreneurship is created.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The idea has been that the
glory of any economy, whether industrialized or underdeveloped depend very much
on how well organized and managed the small scale industries are given. This
fact, most of the developed countries of the world are champions of small-scale
industries.
In the real sense, the
central objectives of the small-scale enterprise are to make profits for the
owner or manager/entrepreneur for expansion purpose. As a result, there should
be equilibrium between the goals of the managers and those of the worker to
achieve desired psychological, economy and entrepreneurial effectiveness.
Therefore, profit is a reward for an effective entrepreneurship. It is a
foundation to small- scale industrial development, which is consequently
and acid text for entrepreneurship effectiveness.
Therefore, government being
very keen, has to establish the peace of industrial funding and management to
attain the much needed entrepreneur effectiveness. Other programmes aimed
at promoting entrepreneurial development and enterprises in small- scale should
be considered by the government.
Furthermore, entrepreneurship
effectiveness is a primary function of ventural personal evaluation to
determine entrepreneurial qualities, taking decision creativeness ingenuity,
innovative mind and skill minimizes the risk and optimizes reward.
It is there based on the above establishment facts of entrepreneurial and small
business circumstances that the project writers intend to build some of the
assumption underlying the project topic.

feasibility studies carried out.

the establishment is easy to operate, so it is easy to go out of operation
