1. Meaning of management
Management is the art of getting things done through people and the proper utilisation
of resources like capital, raw materials and time, which enables the enterprise to
achieve its goals and objectives. Management is a problem solving process of
effectively achieving organizational objectives through the efficient use of scarce
resources in a changing environment. In a small business enterprise, the entrepreneur
acts as the top manager while the few employees and family members serve as lower
managers.
Who are the managers?
A manager’s job is highly crucial to the success of any organization. The more
complex the organisation is, the more crucial is the manager’s role. It is the manager’s
job to achieve the organizational objectives through the proper utilization of its human
2
and material resources. However, since the material resources of equipment, capital,
facilities, information, etc., can only be used by humans, the human resources are the
most valuable assets of any organization. Accordingly, a manager must be highly
skilled in the art of optimally utilizing the human resources. Some of the essential
skills are:
(1) Technical skills
These involve the knowledge, methods and techniques and the ability to use these
techniques in performing a job effectively.
(2) Human skills
Human skill is the ability to work with other people amicably. It involves patience,
trust and genuine involvement in interpersonal relationships.
(3) Analytical skills
Effective and right decision making is the most important function of management. A
successful manager must possess the analytical skill, involving the ability to logically,
objectively, and scientifically analyse the problems and opportunities and use
scientific approaches to arrive at feasible and optimal solutions.
(4) Conceptual skills
The conceptual skill is the ability to view the organisation as a whole, and as a system
comprised of various parts and sub-systems, integrated into a single unit.
Characteristics of a good manager
Not all managers are successful. Those managers who are successful have certain
characteristics which create a climate for success for themselves and their
3
subordinates. Some of the more important personality traits of a successful manager
are:
(a) Knowledge
To have the knowledge about competitive markets, about technological advancements
and about social changes is very important for taking action.
(b) Decisiveness
Decision making involves more than simply choosing the best alternative. A good
manager should possess conceptual logical ability, intuitive and courageous
judgement and ability to analyse the problem by breaking it into parts and identifying
the nature and effect of each part.
(c) Ability to handle conflict
A good manager is calm, able to listen, is positively responsive to criticism and is able
to handle conflicts and differences in a constructive manner. In order to handle
conflicts well, a manager must be confident, self-assertive, fair and dominant.
(d) Emotional stability
Emotional stability is the major ingredient for effective leadership and an effective
manager is always an effective leader. Emotional instability often leads to wrong and
impulsive decisions with dire consequences.
Student Activity 1
1. Define management.
2. What are the various skills that an effective manager must possess? Are all these
skills equally important?
3. Are the characteristics of a good manager in-born traits or can these be acquired by
environmental influences?
4
2. Roles of an entrepreneur in the management of a small business enterprise
An entrepreneur plays a number of roles in a small enterprise. Among these are:
(a) Decision making
Decision making is the process of choosing the best alternative from among different
alternatives to maximize the achievement of business goals and objectives. The
decision-making role can be seen in resolving conflicts, resource allocation and in
negotiations. The entrepreneur makes decisions concerning:
Identifying markets and business opportunities
Making available the necessary resources, such as capital, labour, raw
materials, etc., for the identified business opportunities
Translating the business idea into a real business that produces goods and
services
Searching for new ideas and innovations to meet changing customer needs,
tastes and preferences
Conducting regular meetings with business employees, staff involved in
research and development, etc
Solving conflicts among employees, other business competitors
Allocation of resources such as money, time, equipment, etc
Negotiating business contracts with suppliers, customers, etc
(b) Information processing
Under information processing, an entrepreneur acts as a monitor as well as an
information disseminator.
In his/her role as a monitor, the entrepreneur regularly scans the internal and
external environment which affects the business. He/she collects information
on changes in customer’s needs, tastes and preferences. This information can
be collected from newspapers, magazines, and other media.
5
In his/her role as a disseminator of information, an entrepreneur finds possible
solutions to the changes in the internal and external environment and
disseminates the changes in company policies to employees. This information
is disseminated through memoranda, telephone calls, electronic mail, etc.
(c) Interpersonal relationships
An entrepreneur can maintain good interpersonal relationships by playing a leadership
role, network officer and figure head.
As a leader, an entrepreneur must lead by example. He/she should guide other
employees, treat them with respect and be dedicated to the business. This will
motivate the employees to perform their duties.
As a network officer, an entrepreneur should have contacts outside of the
business. This helps in assessing changes in the business environment, social
changes and changes in government policy.
As a figure head, an entrepreneur receives company visitors; signs legal
documents, gives public speeches, and attends workshops and conferences, etc
on behalf of the enterprise. Within the enterprise, an entrepreneur plays the
figure head role by attending employees’ functions such as weddings, funerals,
etc. This helps to build rapport and shows a good image to the outside world.
Student Activity 2
1. What are the different roles that an entrepreneur is expected to play?
2. Describe in detail the manager as a decision maker.
3. How do manager’s different work roles affect his/her ability to perform as an
effective manager?
3. Importance of management in a small business enterprise
Management is important to different stakeholders such as owners of the business or
the shareholders, employees, customers, government and the community.
6
(a) Shareholders
The shareholders are the owners of the business who invest capital in the business.
The main purpose of investing capital in the business is to generate profits.
Management therefore plays an important role of investing the shareholder’s
resources (capital) into projects that can yield satisfactory rate of return and produce
quality products and services that can meet customer’s needs.
(b) Employees
The importance of management to employees can be seen in:
Assigning employees the right jobs as per their knowledge, experience,
attitudes and interest
Communicating to employees the business policies, procedures and
objectives and the strategies to be used to achieve the objectives
Ensuring that the working conditions of employees are conducive
Provision of social activities and additional benefits to boost the
employees’ morale and dedication
Involvement of employees to participate in business affairs like how to
improve on business performance, etc
Provision of fringe benefits in addition to salary, medical insurance, sick
leave, etc
(c) Consumers
Management tries to ensure that a customer is their business lord and is always right.
Management thus produces quality products and services at fair prices with
guaranteed satisfaction to meet the interests/needs of their customers.
(d) Government
Management ensures that its business operates within the legal system abiding by all
the laws and regulations of the state. This is important to the government in that;
7
There is payment of taxes and on time
Environmental laws are respected
Provision of employment by hiring/employing people on merit
(e) Community interests
Management is important to the community in the following ways:
Providing jobs for the people within the community
Raising funds for public activities like hospitals, roads
Provision of products and services needed by the community
(f) Inter-business relations
Management helps to maintain the inter-business relations through fair trade practices
like fair prices, good quality products, and fast mode of delivery and quality services.
This is because businesses are interdependent on each other in terms of products
produced by them.
Student Activity 3
1. Discuss the importance of management to the following stakeholders:
(a) Shareholders
(b) Employees
(c) Consumers
(d) Government
(e) Community
4. Functions of management in a small business enterprise
Management carries out a number of functions in a small business enterprise. These
functions include planning, organising, staffing, leading, controlling, communication,
motivation, and budgeting.
8
(a) Planning
Planning involves the establishment of business goals and objectives, and determining
the ways in which they will be achieved. In planning, an entrepreneur is envisaged to:
Set business goals and objectives
Determine different courses of action to achieve the business goals and
objectives
Select the best option
Formulate business strategies to translate the chosen option into action
Planning aims at reducing future uncertainty. Planning answers questions like: what
should be done? When will it be done? Where will it be done from? Who will do it?
How will it be done?
(b) Organising
This refers to identifying the activities to be done, categorising them into
sections/departments and assigning the activities to particular people to carry them
out. In order to organise efficiently, an entrepreneur should:
Identify the tasks to be performed and group them into departments, for
example, sales and distribution under the marketing department
Assign tasks/activities to individuals and define their responsibility and
authority, for example, a sales manager can be assigned marketing tasks
Delegate the authority to the chosen employees, for example, heads of
departments, managers, etc
Co-ordinate the activities to ensure that they are done as scheduled
(c) Staffing
This involves the process of recruiting, training, developing, compensating and
evaluating employees. It also involves maintaining employees with incentives like
9
good salaries, housing and medical facilities or allowances, etc. This is likely to result
in commitment to work on part of the employees.
(d) Leading
This involves motivating and guiding the employees about business procedures and
methods. There should be open communication such that employees receive
information and also give feedback. An entrepreneur should lead by example and
employees should be motivated either verbally or through other rewards like money,
promotion, recognition, etc.
(e) Controlling
Controlling in a small business enterprise is concerned with monitoring purchases and
sales, money received and paid out, stock and other business property. It consists of
those activities which are undertaken to ensure that the activities done are not
different from the pre-planned ones. An entrepreneur should look at the original set
goals, and find out whether or not they have been achieved as planned.
(f) Communication
This is the process of receiving and sending messages. It is the process of passing
information from one individual to another. An entrepreneur should transmit and
share messages, ideas, facts and information with his/her suppliers, employees,
customers, etc.
(g) Motivation
This is the process of encouraging employees to do their best towards the desired
goals of the business. Employers should aim at getting their employees to willingly
pursue company objectives. Motivation can be through fair payments/salaries,
allowances, promotion, fringe benefits like free housing, medical care, etc.
(h) Budgeting
10
A budget is a quantitative statement, for a defined period of time, which may include
planned revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. It is a financial plan
outlining how funds will be spent in a given period of time and how these funds will
be obtained. The process of preparing a budget is known as budgeting.
Types of budgets
1. Master budgets
This is a comprehensive summary budget, incorporating all the functional and
operational budgets, generally including sales, production, material and labour costs,
any overhead costs, profit, etc.
2. Materials and utilities budget
This budget also known as operations budget includes budgeting for raw materials
required for production, spare parts for maintenance, labour time, machine time,
energy consumption, etc. Labour time and machine time is the output per unit of time.
3. Control of liquidity
This involves cash flow and is very important in controlling and meeting current
financial obligations. This budget forecasts cash receipts and outlays in a set time
basis and is necessary to control the income and expenses, so that there is no shortage
of cash to pay bills, and also no excessive unused cash which may be unproductive.
4. Revenue and expenses budgets
The revenue budgets should show anticipated sales by product or by geographical
area or department, etc. The expense budgets should cover all necessary and relevant
areas such as rent, utilities, supplies, security, etc.
5. Capital expenditure budgets
11
These budgets plan for long term investments and include expenditures for new plant
and equipment, major installations, replacement of existing equipment, building, etc.
6. Sales budget
The sales budget is the direct outcome of sales forecast and is based on the
consideration of the following factors: demand and supply, competition, past sale
trends, future prediction of sales, seasonal changes that affect sales, etc. The sales
forecasting is based on such factors as population trends, consumer’s purchasing
power, disposable income, price trends of the products, inflation rate and the general
business economy, etc.
7. Production budget
The production budget contains manufacturing program for future operations and is
based upon the sales forecasts and sales budgets. It aims at obtaining maximum
utilization of manufacturing methods and facilities.
8. Balance sheet
It is a composite budget and reflects anticipated assets, liabilities and owner’s equity
or net worth at the end of a given period in the future. It provides a forecast of the
anticipated financial status of the company at a future date.
9. Flexible budget
Flexible or variable budget reflects and combats the changes in expenditure as a result
of changes in volume of production and revenues. These expenditures are primarily
variable costs since the fixed costs are not generally affected by changes in revenues.
12
Benefits of budgeting
Budgets are produced in all organizations, whether they are small, large, private or
public sector. They are important and are produced for the following reasons:
To compel planning – by having a formal budgeting procedure, managers are
forced to consider business objectives and ways in which those objectives can
be achieved
To co-ordinate the activities of the various parts of the business and to ensure
that the parts are working together
To communicate plans to the various responsibility managers within the
enterprise
To motivate managers to work towards the business objectives
To control activities – the budget provides a yardstick against which the
performance of the business can be compared
To evaluate the performance of the managers
The budgeting process helps management learn from past experience.
Management can critically look at the success or failure of the past budgets
and isolate errors and analyse their causes and establish steps to avoid
repetition of the same errors
Budgets help in the just measurement of performance. Due to quantification of
budgets, the measurement is more objective, thus eliminating biases that might
be introduced due to subjective evaluations
The budgeting process induces the management to shift attention to the future
operations. It forces managers to anticipate and forecast the trends and
changes in the external environment
Limitations of budgeting
Some of the problems associated with budgeting are:
Budgets are often too rigid and restrictive and supervisors are given little free
hand in managing their resources. The budgets may either be changed too
13
often or not at all, making it difficult for employees to meet performance
levels
Budgets are used to evaluate the performance and results, but the causes of
failures and successes are not thoroughly investigated
Budgets may be used punitively. The employees may regard budgets simply as
rating tools or as a device for catching their mistakes. This will lower their
morale and dilute their sense of dedication
Budget goals may be conceived as too high. A high production level or sales
level may be resented as un realistic and may create tension and pressures
which could very well result in worker inefficiency and create conflict
between workers and the management
Student Activity 4

4. Why is budgeting important to an entrepreneur?
5. What are some of the problems associated with budgeting?
5. The responsibilities of management
Management is responsible and answerable to many groups. Sometimes the interests
of these groups conflict with each other. Hence, management must conduct its affairs
in a manner so as to be fair and equitable to all parties who have a vested interest and
claim on management. These parties include the government, shareholders, the
community, employees, customers and board of directors. These responsibilities are
discussed in more detail as follows:
14
(a) Responsibilities to government
Management responsibilities towards government are to maintain the law of the land,
not to flout trading practices, to pay taxes such as (corporation tax and value added
tax). Managers must operate within guidelines established by the National Bureau of
Standards.
(b) Responsibilities to shareholders
These responsibilities include calling annual general meeting, inviting shareholders to
attend, declaring the dividend and making profits for the company.
(c) Responsibilities to society and the environment
Management should use environmentally friendly practices and every board of
directors should be fully aware of the disastrous consequences of environmentally
damaging actions.
(d) Responsibilities to employees
These responsibilities include the provision of adequate facilities and amenities for
workers, such as a clean working environment, proper toilet, canteen and health
facilities, and the provision of essential work-wear. Managers should also ensure that
workers receive pensions and gratuities on time. Managers’ responsibilities also
include the protection of female employees against sexual harassment and
discrimination.
(e) Responsibilities to customers
Individuals, wholesalers, retailers, other companies, importers and exporters and even
the government may be customers of a business. To all of these managers have many
different responsibilities. Managers must, for instance, ensure that goods coming off
15
the production line are of good quality and fit for the purpose for which they are
intended.
(f) Responsibilities to the board of directors
Some mangers may be members of the board of directors and may deal with one
another directly. However, managers have certain specific responsibilities towards
board members and these may include:
maintaining a close working relationship with board members
working towards a common goal or objective
working within a framework of harmony and co-operation for the common
good of the entire business
promoting the aspirations of board members in trying to achieve company
objectives
making frequent reports to the board of directors
preparing research materials, statistics, data and other important information
needed by board members for use in preparing results for presentation at an
annual general meeting

(b) For any three responsibilities chosen give two activities for each to show how
managers operate.
(c) Explain one problem for any one responsibility chosen in part (a) that might
hinder the performance of managers.
(d) Explain the role of workers in the solution of the problem outlined in part (c).
2. What are the management’s responsibilities towards employees? Should the return
on investment be the primary concern of the shareholders?
3. Are the management’s responsibilities towards employees applicable in all
situations or in the democratic style of management system only?
16
6. Management tasks
A task refers to activities organised in units for particular purposes. In a small
enterprise, the management tasks include production, marketing, personnel and
financial management.
(a) Production management
Production management is the process of taking a set of inputs and turning them into
outputs. The inputs are the factors of production while the outputs are the goods and
services. Production management is the process of effectively planning and regulating
the operations of that part of an enterprise which is responsible for the transformation
of materials into finished products. Production management deals with planning and
controlling production activities, which include:
acquisition of inputs such as land, capital, raw materials, human resources and
information
Transformation of the inputs into output. Output refers to products that have
been processed from raw materials into finished or semi-finished goods.

selling the products to the customers
17
(c) Personnel management
This is also referred to as human resource management. It is that part of management
which deals with the effective control and use of employees to do all the activities
involved in the business. Human resource is the most significant factor which
contributes to the success of a business because it is people who have to acquire
factors of production (inputs), manage them, transform or process raw materials into
finished products, market them and collect and manage the finances. Personnel
management deals with:
manpower planning, which is concerned with assessing the manpower
requirements of an enterprise in terms of both quality and quantity
recruitment, which refers to the process of attracting and identifying suitable
workers for a given job
selection, which is the process an entrepreneur follows to pick out the most
suitable candidate for a particular job
placement, induction, training and termination, which involves assigning a
worker tasks to be done in the enterprise, introducing the new employee to the
enterprise and laying off a worker from the job
human resource development, which is concerned with improving the skills of
employees through further training, study tours, etc
determination of employee remunerations and terms of employment and
standards of working conditions
communication, which deals with putting in place formal and informal
communication channels and procedures for the business
Human resource management is important to the proper functioning of an enterprise
in the following ways:
human resource management enables an entrepreneur to get the right type of
workers with the necessary training and skills
Human resource management helps in staff development and training.
Employees acquire needed skills through various training programmes
18
personnel management improves working conditions and provides a good
working environment which motivates employees to work hard
eliminates wastage or improper utilization of resources since it allows
employees to put together their efforts and properly use the materials and
resources to achieve business objectives
personnel management plays a vital role in attainment of business objectives
as it provides motivation and helps to instil commitment in the employees
personnel management helps to promote good relations between employees
and management or between fellow employees
Personnel management promotes good image of the business to the public.
The good will created can enable the business to meet the demands of the
community
personnel management aids in evaluating the performance of employees in all
departments of the business
(d) Financial management
Financial management refers to the routine functions, which are performed within the
enterprise to ensure efficient use of funds. Examples of routine functions of financial
management include:
supervising daily cash receipts and expenditures
banking of surplus cash balance
settling debts of suppliers of goods/services and funds on time
record-keeping
