EVOLUTION OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE CONCEPT OF PROFITABILITY AS A GUIDE TO POLICY DECISION (A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED INDUSTRY) ENUGU

EVOLUTION OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE CONCEPT OF PROFITABILITY AS A GUIDE TO POLICY DECISION (A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED INDUSTRY) ENUGU

PROPOSAL


Management is the hub of any industry and must utilize all the resources at its disposal to achieve the goals of their respective industries in any industry both private and public.  The process of decision should be quick if the industry intends to remain a leader.  As the findings have shown that policy decision have a strong effect on profitability management is therefore advised to be very careful in taking decision.

Government should establish industries estate with at least 70,000 square meters per industry and allocate them to industrialist at a premium locate to development bank should be reconstituted and revitalized to be able to supply intending industrialists with the required capital.  The manufactures Association of Nigeria (M.A.N) is advised to establish a training center where intending entrepreneurs will be trained in the act of entrepreneurship.

Before making economic policies, government should consider the implications and impact of such policies on the manufacturing industries.   The industries that are strong dependent on government legislation should be classified and their case treated differently government should come up with a policy that infact industries are to receive  both financial and moral support for at least its first five years of operation.

In industries they should always make sure that they employ the service of local accountant.

CHAPTER ONE


INTRODUCTION

  • BACKGROUNG TO THE STUDY


According to Harper (1977) the concept of profitability can be defined as the concept which provides management with alternative course of action accordance with the various degrees of profitability sating clearly in relevant cost accounting form the cost and benefits association with individual projects which enables management to select the most profitable.

Most of the policy decision of manufacturing are generally directed towards profitability policy decision made under this concept has a direct effect of increasing and enhancing the general profitability of the manufacturing industry concerned.

The origin of this concept can be traced back to this era of industrial revolution.  Prior to this era, industries were run as family concerns just to maintain in trade brought about the industrial revolution, most business grew from the usual family arrangement to large groups.   Resources were pulled together and handed over to other people to manage for the owners.

Naturally, Resources owners must expect a profitable returns from the investments, this urgent obligation forced management  to seek ways of carrying out the activities so as to make profitability returns to the resources owners.. Investment grew in all dimension until the first and second world wars, one would have expected that after the world war industrialization would have been abandoned by as we have seen to day.  This was fortunately far from being so.

Rather manufacturing industries increases in larger numbers grew in importance and also in complexity  all in a bid to meet the improved having demands the over developing world, this complexity in the industrial sector gave rise to the need for policy statements on certain  issues.

Materials must have to be bought enough Quantity to avoid stock out the same time labour which is a  very violate commodity must be allowed to operate in a conducive environment so as to reap the benefit of hiring labour prior to commencement or an expansion .  general ecological consideration must be reviewed, thereafter site is acquired structure erected, machine and equipment installed.

On take off, the manufacturing industry must move with the changing technology, meet its social responsibilities operate under government stipulations, pay tax as and when due. Meet the expectations of the shareholders.

High administrative cost, cost of changing technology fierce competition, scare resources, falling economy, cost of government restrictions, the need for maximization of shareholders wealth, poor capital base etc; must be accommodation and adjusted in such a way that total cost of manufacturing a product will not only be less than sales revenue but give a good profit margin.

This stipulation of operating under may uncompromising variables gave rise to the need for policy decision on such things as

  • Siting an industry

  • Expansion of an existing industry

  • Introduction of a new product

  • A change in production design

  • Sell or process further

  • Close down

  • The cost accountant supplies statement of anticipated cost and profit relating to such problems aformentationed in manufacturing industries where the concept of profitability operates without militating factors there is bound to be profit.


The nature of this research project required theoretical approach and analysis which will cover the three dimensional focus of the research, the research focus on the three majors areas.

  • The exogenous factor affecting the concept of profitability as a guide to policy decision.

  • The endogenous factor affecting the concept.

  • The political factors


These three combined to give a broader view of the factor affecting the concept the other words, this helped the researcher to determine the effects of those factors on the researcher on the profit position and made subsequence recommendations.

Give the above, the theoretical orientation what best provide the researcher the framework for analyzing the factors affecting the concept of profitability were.

  1. Theory of location of industry which states that nearness to raw materials availability of labour affects the profitability of manufacturing industries. The location of extractive industries for example depend on where raw materials are to be found.  Also mining industries depend on geological, surveys, agricultural industries depend on side condition and climate where the required raw materials are heavy and bulky the industry will be set up near source of raw material in order to reduce cost.

  2. Theory of nearness to market, bulky or heavy goods are expensive to transport Based on this, the theory therefore, states that such goods be produced near the market.

  3. Other general economic factors industries



  • requiring thermal neat need to be located near local mines

  • Steel industries.

  • There must be ready supply of labour especially stilled labour.

  • There should be good transport facilities for the movement of both raw materials and finished goods eg: Road, Railway, water ways and airport.


4        Location of their industries, industries are often set up near in other to  take advantage of external economics of scale by this we mean the cost  saving advantage an industry enjoy by being close to other industries in same business or track such advantages are:

-    Location technical  specialized course for the industries are provided   by higher institutions of learning near than.

-    Subsidiary industries located in the area supply processed raw   material components directly to them.

  • Tensa (1979) said that coal services such as banking and insurance and some other economic and financial services are provided constable and new (1976) persisted that the endogenous theory which best suits the purpose of the research is the theory of operation management which is of the view that workers have the same objectives with that of management will assure a responsible attitude towards organization decision making procedure.


On the political factors, the instability of government, restrictions or certain industrial activities and active intervention were also  theories which help the researcher to find out the factors affecting the concept of profitability.

The theory of cost  of marginal costing were indispensable tools in their research.
