Nwankwo Leopold Arinze

Abstract: Business operators that have good managerial skills are more likely to survive than those that do not have. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study was to appraise extent of managerial skills among business operators in Anambra State. The study was guided by one research question and one hypothesis. The descriptive survey design was adopted. The population of the study comprised 161 personnel managers in the 161 industries in Anambra State. The whole population was studied. A researcher developed instrument duly validated by experts was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was determined by administrating twenty (20) copies of the instrument on 20 personnel managers in Enugu State. Using the Chronbach Alpha, the reliability index of the instrument was found to be 0.82. The researcher and three assistants distributed copies of the instrument. Mean ratings were used to answer the research question while ANOVA was used in testing the hypothesis. The results indicated that the business operators are less efficient in managerial skills (2.36). Among others, it was recommended that business operators in Anambra State should attend in-service training programmes on managerial skills to enable them perform efficiently in their business.
