“…They presume that management practices for small enterprises apply to medium businesses (Machado, 2016;Nwaizugbo & Anukam, 2014). However, empirical evidence has demonstrated that the size of a business influences growth and management practices (Brito & Vasconcelos, 2009;(Parilla, 2013). It is documented that theories that are developed to explain the growth of large businesses may not apply to small and medium businesses (Davidsson et al, 2010).…”

Purpose: The study employed the behavioural theory of entrepreneurship to assess the relationship between entrepreneurial management practices and the business characteristics of SMEs in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 202 SMEs were sampled from the service, industry, and agricultural sectors in Ghana. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using Weighted Mean, ANOVA, and Independent t-tests with Minitab 17.0 software. Findings: the study revealed that business characteristics such as business size and sector of operations significantly affect the SMEs’ management decision-making in strategic orientation, resource orientation, management structure, and entrepreneurial culture. However, Business size and sector of operation are not necessarily significant factors influencing the SMEs’ reward philosophy and growth orientation. Research limitations/implications: This study recognizes the need for providing SMEs with management intervention programs that train the skills of entrepreneurial management to improve their competitiveness at the global level. The study is beneficial to policymakers in Ghana such as the Ministry for Business Development, the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI), and Higher Educational institutions for the development of entrepreneurship programs. Originality/value: The findings of the study contribute to inventive knowledge in entrepreneurial management strategies and in terms of size and business industry. Paper type: a Research Paper

“…This implies that the respondents miss the benefits of packaging and labeling. Similarly, Parilla (2013); Cuyangoan (2019) revealed that microbusiness owners and women-farmer entrepreneurs do not practice marketing practices such as designing and packaging their products, which is a factor in their low sales. Product packaging is essential for CSOs because it creates brand recognition and is a key to the high product value.…”

Utilizing the descriptive-comparative-correlational designs, this study gathered information on the profile of CSOs, officers, and members as well challenges encountered in implementing the grants received from sponsors. The study revealed that the characteristics of the respondents and the CSOs were diverse, which can be a vital factor in successfully running the CSOs' business enterprise. Some provisions in the CSOs' Constitutions and By-Laws were marginally applied, which posed major challenges for the organizations, such as the inability to recover availed grants within the required period. Some determinants of the business management capability had to do with the type or area expertise of the CSOs and profile. The CSOs economic status in terms of income was poor. Indicators of CSOs profitability such as type of organization, municipality, grants received, years of establishment, and the number of members were considered vital in the flourishing of the CSOs enterprise before and after implementing the grants. The degree of implementation and economic status before and after the grants highly influenced the financial management strategies of the CSOs. Lastly, the CSOs faced diverse challenges, which were considered vital factors that influence the business performance of the CSOs in Mountain Province.
