INTRODUCTION
A
business, either small or big, simple or complex, private or public is created
to provide employment opportunity and self dependence business in Nigeria has
been classified as small medium and large. However a small scale industry can
be defined by such criteria as to projects cost, capital cost turnover by the
employee etc. the federal and state ministries of industry and commerce have
adopts the criterion of value of installed fixed capital to determine what a
small scale industry is.
In
this respect the value has been varied from #60,000 in 1972, #159,000 in 1975,
#250,000 in 1979, #500,000 in 1986, to fixed investment of not more than
#2,000,000 (two million naira) in 1992. This figure is exclusive of the.
building and subject to government determination and prevailing objectives of public
policy.
In the
wake of SFEM, this value have been reviewed and subsequently increased to
#5,000,000(five million naira). If that
is the case, there may be a need to classify the small scale industry into
MICRO and MACRO business with a view of providing adequate incentives and
protection for the former.
In the
main time, any business or enterprises below the upper limit of #250,000 and
whose annual turnover exceeds that of cottage industry currently put at #5,000
per annum is a small scale industry. The National Directorate of Employment
INDE] concepts of a small scale industry has fixed to a maximum of #35.000.
In
addition the state has defined a small scale business as one that has basic
capital value of less than #500.00- as at September 2010.
Small
scale industry orientation is part and parcel of Nigeria industry orientation
is part and parcel of Nigeria. Evidence abounds in over respective communities
of what successes our great grandparents made of their respective trading
concerning yam — burn, iron smelting, farming, cottage industries and the
likes. So that secret behind their success of self reliant strategy does not
like in any particular political philosophy, so much as in the people’s
attitude to enterprises and in the right to which the right incentive is
adequate enough to make risk worth taking are provided.
Back
home in Nigeria, the respective government policies accorded and gave priority
to the country’s small scale enterprises. This has been in recognition that
they constitute the fountain head of vitality for the variational
economy and consequently their problems
have been viewed as those of the nation, by virtue of their number, diversity,
penetration in all sectors of production and marketing contribution to
employment and to the prosperity of the particular areas in which they operate.
In
concrete terms, small scale industries constitute a greater percentage of all
registered companies in Nigeria, and they have been in existence for a quite
long time. Majority of the small scale industries developed from cottage
industries to small enterprises and from small scale to medium and large scale
enterprises.
To
understand the problems, we have to look at the mutual relationship of all the
parts in the industry. The functional problems are buying of raw materials,
processing of finished goods, financial inequalities and secures rendered to
the local community by the industries. To understand this, we have to
understand the validity of functionalism theory; finally, the study seeks to
know lf the element of industries structures are functioning.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
The
study seeks to answer the following questions regarding the problems of small-
scale businesses on the Nigerian economy.
(1) Personnel:
Who are the individuals working in global soaps and detergent industries
limited, Ilorin. What are the problems encountered in recruiting the employee?
What are the problems encountered in the fracturing of the workers? What are
the problems faced in rewarding worker?
(2) Organization:
How is the industry organized to perform it’s functions? What are the problems
encountered in buying and allocating raw materials and processing of raw
materials.
(3) Finance:
How does the industry source of find? What are the method used for financial
record? What are the forms of working relationship between the employees
themselves? What forms of working relationship between the employer and the
employee?
(4) What
are the services rendered to the local community by the industry? What are the
reactions of the people in the local community? What is the benefit of the
product to the people in the local community or in the society.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
fundamental aim of this project is to identify and proper solutions to the
problems of small- scale business on the Nigeria economy, how they are
organized and how they function.
Like
any other organization, small- scale industries are faced with many problems
such as capital racing, numbers of employees to be employed. Much has been
written on it, as well as various ideas expressed by scholars of different
ideological orientations. Different scholars industries depending on their case
study and time.
Since
changes in technological level and policy of Nigeria is affecting the small-
scale businesses, the study sees to the characteristics of small scale
industries which can help improve our definition.
The
basic objectives of the research work is as follow:
A. To
look into the operations of small- scale enterprises and identity those areas
which poses threat to investors
B. To
examine the causes of their problems encountered by the small- scale
industries.
C. To
determine the extent to which the problems have eaten deep into the fabrics of
business in general.
D. To
suggest ways by which those problems could be alleviated or eliminated.
1.3
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
researcher will focus attention on the production and servicing in global soaps
and detergent.
The
study will cover the mode of operation of each economy know their problems and
prospects in their respective place of work.
In the
light of this generalization will be restricted to some extent due to variants
in the level of operation of smallsca1e economy.
1.4
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This
study could not touch all problems affecting the small scale enterprises because
some industries are so small to the extend that they do not have most of the
various department or sections into which research could be made. Such as
marketing department, accountancy, purchasing department etc.
There
is problem of getting the required information as most economic or businesses
make such thing confidential.
In
terms of appointment to the industry, the time might not be favorable for the
researcher to see more information about the industry because the manager of
that company or industry may not want to leak out their secret out to the
people in the society.
