| Abstract: | This paper describes a study of the impact of financial management characteristics or practices upon business growth and performance outcomes amongst small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in manufacturing. The present study seeks to extend this prior research by attempting to discover whether observed financial management characteristics of manufacturing SMEs appear to have a significant impact on their achieved business growth and performance, with due account being taken of key enterprise characteristics. The paper proceeds by first reviewing available empirical evidence on the significance of financial management characteristics or practices amongst growing SMEs. |
