Abstract: | The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in economic development is undebatable.
Therefore, identifying SMEs’ problems and finding solutions for these
problems are vital for economic development and growth in Nigeria. With a 173.6
million of population, Nigeria is a highly populated low income country where a
significant portion of it’s population is currently facing poverty. This is partly due to
the inability of SMEs in creating jobs and employment in Nigeria.
This thesis investigates the primary problems of SMEs in Nigeria through a survey
study of SMEs in two major cities. The survey findings indicated that several
reasons attributed to the limited contribution of SMEs to employment and economic
growth. The most important of these problems are identified as the infrastructural
weaknesses, limited access to finance, and the uncertainties in the economy are the
most important problems of SMEs in Africa.

Küçük ve orta büyüklükteki işletmelerin (KOBİ’lerin) ekonomik büyüme için önemi
inkar edilemez. Bu nedenle KOBİ’lerin sorunlarını saptayıp bu sorunlara çözüm
üretmek ülkelerin ekonomik büyümesi ve gelişmesi için son derece önemlidir. 173. 6
milyon nifusuyla Nijerya Afrika’ın en kalabalık nifusuna sahip olan ülkelerinden
birisidir ve bu nifusun büyük bir oranı yoksuldur. Bu yoksulluğun nedeni, kısmen,
KOBİ’lerin yeterince gelişmemesi ve beklenen derecede iş yaratmamasıdır.
Bu tez, Nijerya’ nın iki önemli şehrinde bir anket çalışması uygulayarak Nijerya’da
KOBİ’lerin en önemli sorunlarını saptamaya çalışmaktadır. Anket bulguları
Nijerya’da KOBİ’lerin iş yaratma ve ekonomiye olan katkılarını büyük ölçüde
engellenyen birden fazla faktör olduğunu saptamıştır. Önemine göre bu faktörler
şöyle sıralanabilir; altyapı eksikliği, ekonomideki belirsizlik, krediye ulaşmada
zorluklar.
Anahtar kelimeler: KOBİ’ler, ekonomid gelişme, yoksulluk, Nijerya, krediye
ulaşım, altyapı eksikliği. |
