CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the study
The
modern business manager operates in a more dynamic environment. The
change in the business environment has been rapid and unpredictable.
Economic variables have been complex both in form and impact on the
practice of business in Nigeria, this is because consumers and clients
have been shown complex behaviours both in local and international
markets. The most dramatic change has been that exhibited by competitive
pressures. Competitors have been applying one strategy or the other to
adapt to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the business
environment. The most single significant influence on organisational
policy and strategy is the issue of resource management and control in
business organizations (Duncan, 1972 and Grant, 1999). The increasing
demand for these resources and the shortage in supply makes it a
necessity for many consumers as well as business managers in Nigeria.
Africa has been blessed with numerous resources all of which contribute
to its growth and development. With this vast amount of resources and
wealth amassed from their trade, resources management is very
important.
Resources according to Oronto (2003) are not limited to
mineral resources like oil and gas, but for the indigenes of the region
this mean land for agriculture, waters for fishing, forest for
harvesting, and air for breathing, as well as other physical and
spiritual biota. Resources when properly managed bring business growth
as well as economy development, reduce poverty and improve the economy
of the country in general. The concept of resources management is
closely tied to that of resources control and proper resources
management also involves accountability on how these resources and
wealth are used. It was observed that resources have been a blessing for
some and a curse for others especially the areas where these resources
came from and that the people in these region live below poverty line,
experience poor economic and business growth and a low standard of
living when compared to other parts of the country that enjoy the bulk
of this wealth, this might be as a result of poor resources management.
1.2. Statement of the general problem
The
poor performance of businesses across the sub Saharan region of Africa
and most especially Nigeria has been a cause for major concern. This
poor performance of business most times have regrettably been connected
to poor resource control and management which has led to the poor
economic development of Nigeria.
