Abstract
The increasing acknowledgement of the role of SMEs in economic growth and reducing unemployment in SSA brings forth the need for research into understanding the role and impact of the SME policy and its outcomes. However, the lack of adequate critical examination of the current SME policies across SSA as well as the absence of a holistic conceptual framework has put limitations on the further development of literature in the field. In this article, we have attempted to critique the existing assumptions underpinning the SME policy. We have also advanced a conceptual framework and propositions to enable the holistic research that can shed more light on our understanding of the interactions between SME policies, the business environment (context), the entrepreneur, and policy outcomes. Finally, we proposed research questions and an agenda that should guide future research.
1. Introduction
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces numerous economic and social challenges, which have necessitated the intensification of policy enactment directed towards the development of entrepreneurship as well as the Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs) sector (Beyene, 2002; Kongolo, 2010; Obeng & Blundel, 2015; Rogerson, 2001, 2004; UNIDO, 1999). The focus on reducing unemployment as a policy objective is, in part, influenced by research reports that indicate that the SME sector accounts for 90% of the private sector and 50% of employment in most of the African countries (UNIDO, 1999). Researchers have responded to the targeting of the SME sector as the engine of economic growth, employment, and poverty eradication in a positive manner. For example, the research by Agyapong (2010), Okpara (2011) and Manyara and Jones (2007) examined the efficacy of SMEs in the eradication of poverty in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. Similarly, others have examined the employment potential of the African SME sector (Beyene, 2002; Langevang & Gough, 2012; Olawale & Garwe, 2010). Yet, the earlier call for further research by experts and researchers (see Frese, 2000; Kiggundu, 2002; McGrath & King, 1999) is still relevant because of the growing challenges and the disappointing outcomes of SME policy that have been recently seen in SSA (Hulme, 1993).
