Background
to the Study
Small
and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) are crucial drivers of every nation’s
economy. However, SMEs in Nigeria
have not performed creditably well in terms of sales. Hence, they are yet to contribute to a large extent to the
economic growth and development of
the country. Considering that business communication is an indispensable resource in overall business
performance, one is forced to question the availability and utilization of business communication by SME owners. Adebowale, et’al
(2015).
