Of the respondents, 50 per cent indicated that management was a very important factor
in determining the success of the project. The results therefore show that proper
management had contributed to the success of the MSEs. The study also sought to find
out whether management problems had seriously contributed to the failure of MSEs.
To this end, 41 MSEs that were started by WGs but later failed were identified and the
effect of poor management as a factor which might have contributed to their failure
was sought. The results are shown in Table VI.
