Thesis Abstract

The abstract section of the research content is as follows This study examines the management practices and performance of small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. SMEs play a crucial role in the economic development of Nigeria, contributing significantly to employment generation, poverty reduction, and GDP growth. However, many SMEs in Nigeria face challenges related to poor management practices, which hinder their performance and growth. This study seeks to explore the relationship between management practices and the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The qualitative data will be gathered through interviews with SME owners and managers, while the quantitative data will be collected through surveys distributed to a sample of SMEs across various sectors in Nigeria. The data will be analyzed using statistical techniques to identify the key management practices that impact SME performance. The findings of the study are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers, business owners, and other stakeholders on how to improve the management practices of SMEs in Nigeria. By understanding the factors that influence SME performance, policymakers can design targeted interventions to support the growth and sustainability of SMEs in the country. Business owners and managers can also use the findings to enhance their management practices and improve the overall performance of their enterprises. Overall, this research contributes to the existing literature on SME management practices and performance in Nigeria. By shedding light on the challenges faced by SMEs and the factors that influence their performance, this study aims to inform policy decisions and business strategies that can drive the growth and development of SMEs in Nigeria. Ultimately, the success of SMEs is crucial for the economic prosperity of Nigeria, and improving their management practices is essential for unlocking their full potential and maximizing their contribution to the country's economy.
