In recent years, several randomized controlled experiments as well as experiments that are not randomized have been conducted to assess the impacts of management training intervention on the productivity and other aspects of business performance of firms. Yet the role played by management improvement vis-à-vis that of technology transfer or borrowing in industrial development remains unclear. This paper attempts to narrow this gap by developing a heuristic model and reviewing experimental studies of management training and case studies of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in cluster-based industrial development. The paper argues among other things that the improvement of management provides the basis for successful technology transfer.

Basically a natural partnership will achieve its goal if mutual requirements, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit can be maintained and made a strong fundamental commitment among partners. Nevertheless the development seems very slow. The cause is the presence of specific and different conditions and structure factors compared to other countries. Along with that, we still encounter various forms of gaps, such as inequality among regions, among income groups, between sectors, among economic actors, and so forth. The next problem is that in business entities including cooperatives and micro and small enterprises in running their business activities requires business partnerships with medium and large enterprises in order to improve business performance and business scale. While on the other hand our economic conditions and structures are not yet fully conducive to fostering partnerships based on purely business considerations or competitive market motivations but the business partnership of the foundation is strong enough in our country's constitution. Partnerships will work if partners are equally benefiting. Our concept of partnership is like that, although in the short term, there is a party or a party benefiting more from the other side.

The Relationship

The practice of linking the enterprises with their channel members through supply chain activities is meant to achieve better performance and to create a win-win situation for both sides. A study on supply chain linkages is necessary in order to observe the effect of the linkages on firms’ performance. Therefore, this study is conducted to examine the factors of supply chain linkages that affect the business performance among micro and small enterprises. Three factors were proposed, which are information sharing, development programme and outsourcing. A total of 214 sets of questionnaires was completed by owners and firm’s personnel from 13 industrial sectors. The findings from this study revealed that information sharing and development programme have a significant and positive relationship with firms’ performance. Even though outsourcing shows a positive relationship with firms’ performance, but the relationship was not statistically significant. The results provide a better understanding of information sharing, development programme and outsourcing from micro and small enterprise perspective in Sarawak.Keywords: Supply Chain; Information Sharing; Development Programme; Outsourcing; Performance; Micro and Small Enterprise.

Purpose Micro and small enterprises face growing expectations from stakeholders to behave responsibly in respect of environmental management. However, many continue to exhibit patterns of relative disengagement with both environmental management and associated training. The purpose of this paper is to explore the attitudes and experiences that underpin both. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on survey data from 148 owner-managers of micro and small firms in New Zealand’s manufacturing sector. Binary logit regression and non-parametric testing were employed to examine influences on engagement with both environmental management and environmental training. Findings There is a lack of knowledge of, and participation in, training related to environmental management. Awareness tends to be from firms already engaged in training; signalling a potential circularity of exposure effect. A distinct division in attitude exists between those who identify with personal responsibility and autonomy as the pathway to responsibility in respect of their firm’s environmental impact and those who cede to the collective actions of other communities to dictate engagement (i.e. industry associations and government). Research limitations/implications The survey is based on the perceptions of the respondents to the survey statements and as such it is a self-assessment. Originality/value The paper is one of few that investigate the challenge of securing engagement with training and development in environmental management by micro and small enterprises in the New Zealand context.

Micro And Small Enterprises

Micro and Small Enterprises are a very important sector that continues to contribute enormously for the economic development of the country and to the state of Manipur in particular. The success and failure of these enterprises depends a lot on the efficient management of its financial resources. This paper therefore attempts to study the accounting and financial management practices followed by the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Manipur and to make an awareness about the importance of accounting and financial management practices in their business conduct. For the purpose of the study both primary and secondary data are used. Secondary data were collected from the related available literature like books, articles, magazines, MSME annual report, directory of MSME Manipur, etc. Primary data is obtained by distributing questionnaire to 100 respondents who are owner/manager of the MSEs. The collected data were analysed using various statistical tools to get meaningful conclusion. The results of the study revealed that majority of the MSEs do not maintain proper accounting records of their business which made it difficult for the owner-manager to measure the performance of their business. The main reason for the failure of the enterprises to keep proper accounting records is their lack of knowledge in accounting. The financial management practices followed by the MSEs in Manipur are only fire-fighting in nature and no standard rules or procedures are followed for managing their finance. Finally, the study suggested that both the Central and the State Government should make strict rules and regulations to adopt accounting and financial management practices to each and every MSEs operating in the state.
