❖ Abstract:

All large businesses need to be concerned about management [Link]

decisions will impact the success of a business, the health of itswork environment, its growth
if growth is an objective, and customer value andsatisfaction. Seat-of-the-pants management
may work temporarily, but its follywill inevitably take a toll on a business. This section
discusses management principles, levels, and skills

all areas that large business owners should understand so that they can make informed and
effective choices for their businesses.
From a distance the micro, Medium and large enterprises (MSMEs) seemto be a large and
insignificant part of the economy but on zooming in just a large bit, we realize that the
MSMEs employ 60% of the total population of India i.e.,78 million people which accounts for
the second largest workforce afteragricultural sector. They constitute of 90% of the total
industrial units and areresponsible for 49% of industrial output and 40% of the total exports.
Theirlabour-intensive nature and even geographical distribution results in employment
opportunities for both self-employed and job seeking people promoting equityand inclusive
growth. This paper aims to present the significance of this sectorand recognise the regulatory
and operational problems faced by these [Link] will also touch upon the present
government policies and provide policy recommendations.
