Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the effect of managerial competencies on the growth of SMEs in Abuja Metropolis, Nigeria. Research methodology: The study adopted Raosoft to determine a sample size of 395. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection, while regression was used for data analysis. Results: It was found that both technical and personal competencies have a positive and strong effect on the growth of SMEs, while conceptual skills recorded a negative and insignificant effect on the growth of SMEs in the Abuja Metropolis. Limitations: This study is limited to SMEs operators in Abuja Metropolis (the political capital of Nigeria), Leaving Lagos (the economic capital of Nigeria untouched). It is only when Lagos is covered that one can give a clear direction if Nigerian SMEs operators are changing with the changing business world. Contribution: Operators, owners as well as policymakers in SMEs are expected to benefit from this study as it will serve as an eye-opener to the hidden and untapped potentials embedded in the proper application of managerial skills.

Abstract

Purpose: This study is aimed at determining the effect of strategic outsourcing and corporate performance of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria Research methodology: The study adopted a survey research design because it is suitable and ideal for assessing how effective outsourcing strategy affects the corporate performance of insurance firms in Nigeria. With a population of 720 staff from three quoted insurance firms in Nigeria, using Yamane's formula, a sample of 260 respondents was selected. Multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses that were developed at a significance level of 0.05 percent. Results: The study unveiled that outsourcing has evolved into a helpful strategy and weapon for corporate organizations, particularly for Nigerian insurance companies that are constantly looking to improve their corporate performance in the financial sector. Limitations: This study is limited to quoted insurance firms in Nigeria as of December 2021; hence, the result may not be universal to other excluded categories.  It is expected that further studies should cover all the insurance firms in Nigeria with variables like comprehensive and ICT outsourcing strategies on the operational efficiency and profitability of insurance firms in Nigeria. Contributions: To leverage the services of other organizations and professionals outside of their core competencies for operational effectiveness and efficiency, corporate organizations in Nigeria, especially those in the financial sector, should incorporate strategic outsourcing into their corporate culture.
