THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON THE GROWTH OF NIGERIAN SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) have witnessed a dramatic expansion in recent years in almost all parts of the world. It isn’t only in developing countries that have experienced such phenomenon but a similar experience has also been gathered by a large number of industrially developed countries like Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, United States of America, Switzerland, etc. (Boiton committee,1971).

Micro, small and medium enterprises are ancient practices in Nigeria and hawking is the most popular means of retailing, where products are carried from one place to another either by head or by cart. History has shown that Japan for instance, has achieved rapid industrialization through the small scale sector in the latter half of the 19th century. The small and medium scale sector in this country plays a catalytic and predominant role in the accelerated growth of the economy. Even in developed countries such of Western Europe, there is recognition that small and medium industries play a significant role in complimenting the large industry and in providing creative energies of the skilled people. The watch industry in Switzerland- the largest in the world- is based on the work of a multitude of small, almost medium industries. Small firms are considered that a report (Boiton committee, 1971) parodied the famous saying of Voltaire that “if small business does not exist, it would be necessary to invent it.”

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION 

1.1      BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Ever since the introduction given by God to man to “Be fruitful and  multiply”  replenish and subdue the earth” man has alone a lot to pursue this injunction of subduing  the earth.  By this it entails among other things  the development of the world as a macro society for the overall good of man- economically, politically, socially and otherwise.

The wheel of change has been rolling on through the entire world transforming virgin lands deserts oceans and seas to the economic advantage of man.  Nigeria was unknown then.  The first step in the British acquisition of Nigeria was the  annexation of lagos in 1861  (ONWUBIKE 1973). It  marked the first major step taken by the  British government   in the 19th century to acquire economic and political domination over the people of Nigeria.  A chattered company- the ROYAL NIGER COMPANY was administering the high land of Nigeria – North of Lokoja – on behalf of the British. The British government had declared a protectorate   over areas claimed by the company in 1887.  Then on  1st  Jan. 1990,  it took Royal Niger company  and named it the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria with Lord Lugard as its first  high commissioner.  Floral Shaw- formal colonial correspondent of the  times on London who later became Lugard’s  wife named  this great political unit  Nigeria in 1900  (Onwuikeo,1973).  Finally, on 1st Jan. 1914, Lugard became the first  governor- general of the colony and the protectorate of Northern Nigeria.

Different thoughts have crept into the mind of the researcher in attempt to have a well defined perspective to what has now become a canker worm in the flesh of the social and economic function of the Nigerian state.

According to Adediran (2004), “the unemployment Problem which is virtually on the lips of every Nigerian has got out of control along with its social and economic effects. The most affected by the plague of unemployment in Nigeria today are young school leavers, particularly graduates from tertiary institutions, and the bulk of people retrenched from work as a result of socio-economic and political crises”.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1.      Background Of The Study
This study argues that a complete company business is necessary. This will result in interventions which will improve the quality of strategic marketing decisions and consequently profitability of the company.  Due to lack of a model available on how marketing strategy affects the profitability of a company, a comprehensive literature search will be done and norms of marketing strategies will be developed and subsequently used to bench mark the practices of organizations.

A marketing strategy is a method by which a firm attempts to reach its target audience. Marketing strategies start with market research, in which competitors’ products are assessed and it continues through advertising, promotion, distribution, price and where applicable, customer servicing, packaging, sales and distribution.

          inflation and unemployment   
                                    
 ii.                   Briefly determine the role of money in an economy 

                                                   development
Solution to Assignment No.1
The relationship between inflation and unemployment using the Phillips’ Curve is explained thus:

The Phillips Curve examines the relationship between the rate of unemployment and the rate of money wage changes. 

Basing his analysis on data for the United Kingdom, Phillips derived the empirical relationship that when unemployment is high, the rate of increase in money wage rates is low.  This is because workers are reluctant to offer their services at less than the prevailing rates when the demand for labour is low and unemployment is high so that wage rates fall very slowly.

Professor Phillips, formerly of London School of Economics, urged that there was a close link between the level of unemployment and the rate of wage increase.  He studied the relationship between unemployment and the rate of changes in money wages in the U.K over the period 1862-1957.
