ABSTRACT
This work was carried out to examine the constraints
of small and medium scale enterprises using some selected drinking water
industries in Abakaliki as a study. Materials were gathered from textbooks,
journals, periodicals, seminar paper, internet and other published researches.
This work adopted a survey type of research method which we would have used to
collect data for analysis if we are to make this work a full research work. The
findings from the literature review and other parts of this work has shown that
there are a lot of constraints that affects the growth of small and medium
scale enterprises in Abakaliki more especially the attitudinal disposition of
Nigerians towards Nigerian made goods, lack of fund, unfavorable government
policies, unwise competition with big firms, general state of the economy and
other environmental factors. It was observed that if 90% of these constraints
are well looked into, small and medium enterprises will record a tremendous
growth not only in Nigeria
but in the economy of other countries. To enhance the success and growth of
small and medium scale enterprises in this respect the researcher made some
recommendation that will be beneficial to small and medium scale enterprise
operators in Abakaliki, Nigeria and beyond.
