ABSTRACT
This study attempts to assess the effects of management skills on performance of
SMEs in Tanzania. The study concentrates on Micro and Small enterprises in
Dodoma Municipality where descriptive research design was adopted. A total
number of 60 respondents constituted the sample. The sample understudy was Micro
and Small enterprises owners/managers. The respondents were interviewed by using
structured questionnaire. The analysis was carried out by using descriptive statistics,
gross margin, correlation and linear regression.
The results indicate that management skills in terms of marketing, financial, human
relation and other business skills are of paramount important on performance of
SMEs in Tanzania. The findings further reveal that both Micro and Small
owners/managers who attended business training or have high level of education
have better business performance unlike those who haven’t attended any business
training or have lower level of education.
Lastly the study recommended government to design training programs for micro
and small businesses that reflects the nature and type of businesses undertaken in the
country at an affordable price. Moreover, owners/managers of Micro and Small
enterprises were argued to attend business training/seminars/workshops that will
enable them to acquire marketing, financial, human relation and other related
business skills so as to cope with business turbulence and attain sustainable
development.
