ABSTRACT This study investigated the factors affecting the growth of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Buno Bedelle Zone, Bedelle Town. In this study, a deductive research approach and a quantitative research design were used. The samples of 140 MSEs were selected from 215 total populations of MSEs in 2 Kebeles 01 and 02 One-Stop Service Center currently found in Bedelle town. Primary and secondary data were collected to achieve the purpose of this study. Probability sampling and stratified random sampling technique was applied to select the sample from selected respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics methods. Linear and Binary logistic regression models are employed with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS25). The basic objective of this research is to identify and examine the Internal and External factors that affect the growth of MSEs in the study area. Accordingly, lack of working space (shed), Lack of alternative loan providing financial institutions, Processes related to Business Registration, Licensing, having TIN, Members’ Unwillingness to work together, and Lack of linkage with a better market are the major chronic problems identified by this study. The investigation revealed that the case of absence of a suitable better market, working space, and production areas hinders the activity of most MSEs and forced them to operate in their home in a rented place and on the street. Based on the findings of this study recommendations are made to government bodies, operators of MSEs, and other researchers. The government should undertake immediately the problem of Market linkage by making contacts with different sectors, enterprises could form linkages at trade exhibitions and bazaars by presenting their goods and services, in addition, other researchers should investigate multidimensional barriers that influence MSEs growth and give suggestions on mechanisms of resolving the identified problems in order to increase Enterprises performance and make them contribute more to national economic growth. The issues of the MSEs required attention for ensuring fast growth to regional and local economy in Buno Bedelle zone, Bedelle Town. Keywords: Micro and Small enterprises, Growth, Factors.

For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study, Likert-scale type and multiple choice questionnaires was analyzed using appropriate host of statistical methods such as descriptive and inferential analyses. The information assembled through questionnaire from a population of 42 small manufacturing enterprises and face-to-face interview for 20 representative or owners of the enterprises. The empirical study elicited eight major challenges which seem to affect performance of manufacturing small enterprises in city. Descriptive findings revealed that marketing, working premises and financial factors respectively were found the three top most severe problems that challenged the MaSEs sector in GTP1 period. Similarly, the inferential analyses output also indicated that marketing, working premise, finance and technological factors are the decisive determinants for the performance of MaSEs at 5% level of significance. Likewise, standardized beta coefficient exhibited that marketing factors followed by working premise and technological factor respectively were found the top three positive significance factors in the performance of the enterprises.

ABSTRACT This study aimed at identifying the major problems that are associated with the growth and success of MSEs specially focuses on trade, services, manufacturing, construction and urban agriculture sectors in Gurage zone three selected Woreda. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in order to achieve the objective of the study. Primary data was obtained using questionnaires, unstructured interviews and personal observations. The information gathered through questionnaire from a sample of 140 operators and face-to-face interviews were conducted with MSEs operators. Secondary data was also collected from books, journals, past research works, official documents and the internet. The respondents of MSEs operators were selected by using of Stratified sampling techniques from the study area. Besides, the interview questions were analyzed using descriptive narrations and summation of different respondents’ point of views. The analytical strategy used based on the assumptions developed by previous studies. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social (SPSS) for measure of central tendency and dispersion, Pearson’s Product moment correlation Coefficient and multiple regression analysis. On the basis of the findings, the major problems facing the MSEs operators in Gurage zone are lack of finance, lack of management skills and previous industrial experience, lack of sufficient working premises, lack of infrastructural facilities, lack of proper marketing skills and lack of conducive working environments. The results of the findings further indicate that there exists positive strong significant relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. Finally, the selected independent variables may significantly test the variations from the dependent variable at 1% level of significance. Based on the results of the findings, recommendations are forwarded to operators of MSEs , to government bodies and for the other researchers. Key words: Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), Factors, Growth and Success.

However, the performance of MSEs in Godere Woreda is low. So, this study was done to investigate the determinants of MSEs performance in Godere Woreda using descriptive statistics and econometric model of multiple linear regressions. Both primary and secondary data were also employed in getting the necessary information for the analysis of the study. A total of 260 sample respondents were identified using multiple stage sampling technique. The result of the study shows that the majority of the MSEs have been a recent establishment and faced challenges of inadequate startup capital, government policies and regulation related factors, limited infrastructure facility, unfair competition, lack of training, limited access to credit, and lack of know-how and skills to use technology.
