This study was intended to assess whether the bidding notices of Cerejeiras and Cabixi had put regional development foward, under the terms of Complementary Law 123/2006. The research is exploratory, quantitative, with a longitudinal cut, based on the bidding notices from the health and education departments, which were carried out in 2017 and 2018, extracted from transparency portals of the studied towns. The notices were organized and classified in a table, identifying each one of the items covered by the Complementary Law, comparing them with the law and what is contained in the notices. It was checked that the city halls apparently have little knowledge or clarification about the application of the law, since its public notices establish more tiebreakers criteria for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) than other benefits allowed by law. It was also observed that the provided parts by law are not used. The construction contract notices did not provide for the subcontracting of MSEs. Most notices presented the preference for hiring local and regional companies incorrectly. There were no notices with quotas for the exclusive supply of MSEs in bids for goods of a divisible nature. In addition, it was noted that public agents from these towns need training related to the topic to apply the law and thus foster regional development correctly.

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.

Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) play a significant role in introducing high level of socio-economic empowerment to all levels of social beings with its huge contribution in production, export promotion, employment generation, and value addition. Besides, it is well capable in redressing off the concomitant hazards of our nation like unemployment, poverty etc. The beneficial effect of the very sector is increased sharply if it is being participated by the marginalized gender section of our society, women. Notwithstanding, the sector cannot protect itself from several down-gradation in its survival due to several controllable and/or uncontrollable causes amongst which the inadequate need-based finance is considered to be the most severe one (All India Fourth Census Report of Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), 2006-2007). In this context, the Central Bank has declared many promotional financial policies for the neediest sector of economy which has been allowed to be practiced by all the financial institutions of which the Commercial Banks (CBs) are the most significant ones. But CBs sometimes are blamed for their unfriendly partial attitude towards the very sector for their sole emphasis on commercialization. The women-owned MSEs in this context sometimes suffer a lot for the gender-discriminative credit policy of the CBs. In India, amongst different states, West Bengal (WB) is taken as a significant contributor so far as the number of women-owned MSEs and their performances are concerned. WB here specially recognizes the engineering sector of Howrah, the former Birmingham of the East, for its special contribution in socio-economic development of it. Though men-dominated sector, women-owned units here are also found to perform prestigiously irrespective of different hindrances mainly originated from need-based financial lacuna. CBs here are also found to be responsible ones reflecting the nation-wide picture over there which ultimately puts a question on proper implementation of financial policies to serve the marginalized gender section of the society. The present paper, therefore, aims at identifying to what extent the financial assistance of Commercial Banks empowers economically the women-owned micro and small engineering enterprises of Howrah and recommending some suggestions for further improvement following descriptive research methodology and relevant statistical tools and techniques.

The growth of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Nayarit, as well as in the country has been increasing, however, due to the same characteristics of informal and unstructured conformation of these companies, they do not grow financially and most of them spend their time subsisting as micro businesses. That is why this analysis focuses on knowing if microentrepreneurs apply marketing strategies and if so, what kind of strategies do they implement to strengthen their businesses. The main purpose of this study are the MSEs of the municipalities of Santigo Ixcuintla, Tuxpan and Ruiz of the state of Nayarit, from which relevant information was obtained by applying surveys directly with the owners or directors of the companies, regarding the application of marketing strategies. As a result, we can observe that most entrepreneurs do not implement structured or formalized strategies, however, they develop basic strategies that meet customer satisfaction according to their market segment such as: product tests prior to their launch, the creation of brands so that their clients can identify them, pricing based on competition and development of credit strategies for their customers. They develop the most appropriate strategies according to the type of product, since they sell it directly to the final consumer and a considerable percentage consider selling to intermediaries. The implementation of promotional and advertising strategies is not clear; however, entrepreneurs express that they implement strategies that allow them to stay in the minds of consumers. This does not mean that the strategies are adequate or that they have favorable results in their entirety since they are not professionally structured.
