CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the uniqueness of the human person is the ability to objectify his thoughts and ideas through language. With the social evolution of language, especially speech language, man was able to widen the gap between him and the rest of the animal kingdom. Thus, language can be seen as a system of sounds, symbols and words for purposes of communication. Communication touches every aspect of human activity. Business communication is any communication used to promote a product, service or organization, with the objective of making sale. In business communication, messages are conveyed through various channels of communication, including internet, print (publication), radio, television, outdoor, and word of mouth. There are scholarly arguments pertaining to the effectiveness of business communication in developing economies, including Nigeria. For example, the effectiveness of business communication in developing countries has attracted some criticisms with respect to such constraining factors as noise (e.g. fears, worry, lack of trust, racial and tribal discrimination, cultural and religious discrimination, undefined areas of responsibility, negative future expectation, concrete distractions, bad environment, corruption, and general behaviour towards marketing, amongst others). However, some scholars have argued that these constraints do not detract from the implementation of business communication and that communication should be of benefit to all the companies world over, including developing countries such as Nigeria. In an organization, the manager has to read, speak, write, listen, observe and supervise, and these are all media of communication. He uses letters, and memos for written communication. Business firms must send information about their goods and services to customers and consumers. This they do vide advertising, publicity, personal selling and other sales promotional techniques. Hence any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person’s needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or effective state is regarded as communication. However, the effectiveness of communication differs from one firm to another. Therefore, it may be stated that business communication may be beneficial for some businesses, while it may not be for others as a result of variations in the environment, practices, noise, contexts and cultures amongst others influencing factors.
STATEMENT OF THE GENERAL PROBLEM
Overtime, the poor performance of small businesses in Nigeria has been a reoccurring problem as small businesses in Nigeria have not been adequate supported to develop thus leading to liquidation and thus throwing many people who would have been employed by these small businesses to unemployment or underemployment. The importance of small businesses to any economy cannot be overemphasized as it has been proven by developed economies that the small and medium scale businesses are the bedrock of any economy. The poor performance of small businesses in Nigeria as a result of lack of development has been partly responsible for the present economic hardship in Nigeria.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major aim of the study is to examine the decline due to technology and its impact on small and medium scale enterprises. Other specific objectives of the study include;
- To examine the level of development of small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria.
- To determine the importance of adequate communication on small business growth and development.
- To examine the relationship between adequate communication and small business growth and development.
- To recommend ways of improving communication in other to enhance small businesses in Nigeria.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
H0: The decline of communication due to technology does not have an impact on small and medium scale enterprises.
H1: The decline of communication due to technology has an impact on small and medium scale enterprises.
