Abstract :
This study investigated the impact of
entrepreneurial management on the performance of
Abuja's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The
study utilized a descriptive research design with a survey
methodology. A sample of 299 out of a population of 1180
SMEs in Abuja, Nigeria, was used to obtain the data. Using
multiple regression analysis, the study's hypotheses were
evaluated. The findings demonstrated that managerial
skills and managerial structure had a favorable and
significant impact on SME performance. While managerial
orientation demonstrated a positive but negligible effect on
the performance of SMEs, this effect was insignificant. The
study recommended that policy-makers and other related
agencies and institutions that are major stakeholders in the
development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
in Nigeria equip current and future entrepreneurs with the
skills and knowledge to make them self-reliant through
workshops and seminars that improve the orientation and
structure of SMEs' managerial skills.
