 ROLE OF SMALL
BUSINESS IN INDIA
(i) The contribution of small industries to the balanced regional
development of our country is noteworthy

(ii) Small industries are the second largest employers of human resources,
after agriculture. They generate more number of employment opportunities
per unit of capital invested compared to large industries. They are, therefore,
considered to be more labour intensive and less capital intensive
(iii) Small industries in our country supply an enormous variety of products
which include mass consumption goods, readymade garments, hosiery
goods, stationery items, soaps and detergents, domestic utensils, leather,
plastic and rubber goods, processed foods and vegetables,

Small industries which produce simple products using simple technologies

and depend on locally available resources both material and labour can be
set up anywhere in the country

(v)Small industries provide ample opportunity for entrepreneurship. The

latent skills and talents of people can be channeled into business ideas
which can be converted into reality with little capital investment and almost
nil formalities to start a small business.
PICTURES
 PROBLEMS OF
SMALL BUSINESS
(i) Finance: One of the severe problems faced by SSIs is that of
nonavailability of adequate finance to carry out its operations.

(ii)Raw materials: Another major problem of small business is the procurement of

raw materials. If the required materials are not available, they have to
compromise on the quality or have to pay a high price to get good quality
materials

(iii) Managerial skills: Small business is generally promoted and operated by a

single person, who may not possess all the managerial skills required to run the
MORE INFORMATION
business. Many of the small business entrepreneurs possess sound technical
knowledge but are less successful in marketing the output.

(iv) Labour: Small business firms cannot afford to pay higher salaries to the
employees, which affects employee willingness to work hard and produce more

(v)Marketing: Marketing is one of the most important activities as it generates

revenue. Effective marketing of goods requires a thorough understanding of the
customer's needs and requirements

(vi) Quality: Many small business organisations do not adhere to desired

standards of quality. Instead they concentrate on cutting the cost and keeping the
prices low. They do nothave adequate resources to invest in quality research and
maintain the standards of the industry, nor do they have the expertise to upgrade
technology.
 PROBLEMS OF
SMALL BUSINESS
(vii) Capacity utilisation: Due to lack of marketing skills or lack of
demand, many small business firms have to operate below full capacity
due to which their operating costs tend to increase.

(viii) Technology: Use of outdated technology is often stated as serious lacunae in

the case of small industries, resulting in low productivity and uneconomical
production.
(ix) Sickness: Prevalence of sickness in small industries has become a point of worry
to both the policy makers and the entrepreneurs. The causes of sickness are both
internal and external. Internal problems include lack of skilled and trained labour and
MORE INFORMATION
managerial and marketing skills. Some of the external problems include delayed
payment, shortage of working capital, inadequate loans and lack of demand for their
products.
(x) Global competition: Apart from the problems stated above small businesses are
not without fears, especially in the present context of liberalisation, privatisation and
globalisation (LPG) policies being followed by several countries across the world
ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT
IEntrepreneurship is the process of setting
up one's own business as distinct from
pursuing any other economic activity, be it
employment or practising some
profession. The person who set-up his
business is called an entrepreneur. We
would like to define entrepreneurship as a
systematic, purposeful and creative
activity of identifying a need, mobilising
resources and organising production with
a view to delivering value to the
customers, returns for the investors and
profits for the self in accordance with the
risks and uncertainties associated with
business
 CHARACTERISTICS FOR
ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(i)Systematic Activity: Entrepreneurship is not a mysterious gift

or charm and something that happens by chance! It is a
systematic, step-by-step and purposeful activity

(ii)Lawful and Purposeful Activity: The object of entrepreneurship is

lawful business. It is important to take note of this as one may try to
legitimise unlawful actions as entrepreneurship on the grounds that
just as entrepreneurship entails risk, so does illicit businesses. Purpose
of entrepreneurship is creation of value for personal profit and social
gain
(iv) Organisation of Production: Production, implying creation of form,
place, time personal utility, requires the combined utilisation of diverse
MORE INFORMATION
factors of production, land, labour, capital and technology.
Entrepreneur, in responseto a perceived business opportunity
mobilises these resources into a productive enterprise or firm
(v)Risk-taking: It is generally believed that entrepreneurs take high risks.
