This paper aims to empirically test the impact of entrepreneurial competencies on the performances of SMEs in Bangladesh. The data are obtained from 115 entrepreneurs by a structured questionnaire. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method is applied to find the causal relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables. The results reveal that the organizing and leading, learning, relationship, and commitment competencies of entrepreneurs have a meaningful impact on SME performance. On the contrary, strategic and opportunity competencies have no effect on the performance of SMEs. The contribution of this study is to find out the relevant entrepreneurial competencies and to empirically test their impacts on the performance of SMEs in a developing country setting. This study gives insights into the policymakers regarding the entrepreneurship training and development program. Finally, the competency measurement of this study provides a unique scope for designing such training and development programs for entrepreneurs.

This study is to determine the effect of financial management practices to the growth of SMEs. The respondents are 50 SMEs and selected through convenience random sampling. Survey questionnaire was used in data gathering. The findings show that majority of the respondents were females with mean age of 36.9 years old, bachelor degree holder with mean years in business of 8.78 years. The respondents are highly practicing the working capital management practices but they moderately practicing the capital structure and investment decision practices. The respondents strongly agree on the growth of SMEs’ sales volume but only agree on the growth of profit and expansion. There is a significant difference on the working capital management practices according to the respondent’s highest educational attainment, capital structure practices according to the type of business, and investment decision practices according to the highest educational attainment and nature of business. Therefore, it is highly recommended that, SMEs may continually practice the management of their working capital. SMEs should outweigh the cost-benefit relationship in structuring their capital sources. SMEs should strengthen the practice of their investment decisions through capital budgeting and fund allocation into long-term assets. SMEs may do expansion through new products/services offering and to cover wide range of customers. Lastly, SMEs should practice continually the financial management to attain business’ success.
