VTU - Notes - Question Papers
Introduction
2
At present the Small Scale Industry (SSI) constitutes a
Very Important Segment of the Indian Economy & has
emerged as a Dynamic & Vibrant Sector of the Economy.
The Small Scale Industry Sector holds the Key to
Economic Prosperity of the Indian Economy, Characterized
by abundant Labor Supply, Unemployment & Under
Employment , Scarcity of Finance, Growing Modern Large
Industries providing scope for development of Ancillary
Industries & so on. The Small Scale Industry has grown
phenomenally during the last Six Decades & has acquired a
very prominent place in the Socio – Economic
Development in the Country.

This Sector accounts for about 40% of the Country’s Total Exports.
Various Policy Initiatives undertaken by the Central Govt & Various
State Govts whether by way of Incentives or protection, have helped the
sector in acquiring the Status of a Major Contributor in the Growth
Process.
The Process of Liberalization & Economic Reforms, since 1991, while
creating Tremendous Opportunities for the Growth of Small Scale Industrial
Sector, have however thrown up new Challenges for the Sector. This
changed Industrial Scenario, has called for building Competitive Strengths,
Improving Quality & Productivity, Introducing Technology Up gradation,
reducing Wastages & Rejections, Intelligent Use of Resources, Employing
Modern Management Techniques etc in order to withstand growing
competition & for ensuring sustained growth.

Also, Small Scale Industries need to reposition
itself in order to meet the Growing Demands for
ancillary items, Subcontracting & Job Work from
other Industrial Units, requiring higher standards of
Quality, Economies of Scale & strict timely delivery
schedules.
The emerging challenges to the Small Scale
Industries Sector are also due to the Impact of
Globalization & Agreement under the WTO (World
Trade Organization) & GATT (General Agreement
on Trade & Tariff) to which India is a Signatory
along with 134 Member Countries.

Classification & Definition of
Industries :
The earlier concept of Industries has been changed
to Enterprises. Enterprises have been classified broadly
into Two Categories as Under :
1)
Manufacturing Enterprises : Enterprises which
are engaged in the Manufacture / Production of
Goods pertaining to any Industry are referred to as
“Manufacturing Enterprises”.

Ancillary Industrial
Undertakings :
10
An Industrial Undertaking which is engaged or is
proposed to be engaged in the Manufacture or Production of
Parts, Components, Sub – Assemblies, Tooling or
Intermediaries, or the rendering of services & the undertaking
supplies or it renders or proposes to supply or render not less
than 50 % of its production or services, as the case may be, to
one or more other Industrial Undertakings & whose Investment
in Fixed Assets in Plant & Machinery whether held on
Ownership terms or on lease or on hire – purchase, does not
exceed Rs. 5 Crore in case of Manufacturing Small Enterprises
& Rs. 2 Crore in case of Service Small Enterprises.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
As can be seen from the above definitions of Micro, Small &
Medium Enterprises, the only criteria for classification is Investment
made on Plant & Machineries in case of Manufacturing
Enterprises & Investment made on Equipment in case of Service
Enterprises. None of the following factors are considered in
classifying the enterprises.
1) Investment made on Land & Buildings.
2) Extent of Land & Built up area of the buildings.
3) Number of people employed.
4) Amount of Electric Power used & whether LT (Low Tension) or
HT(High Tension) power is used.
5) Amount of utilities like Water, Gases, Fuels etc used.
6) Working Capital Employed.
7) Annual Sales / Turn Over.

VTU - Notes - Question Papers
Characteristics of Small
Enterprises :
“Small Enterprise is Beautiful” because of its
following Important Characteristics :
1)
A Small Enterprise is generally a “One Man
Show”. Even Small Enterprises which run by a
Partnership Firm or a Private Limited Company, in
most cases, the activities are mainly carried out by
one of the Partners or Directors. In Practice, the
others mainly assist in providing Capital / Funds.
12
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
2) Owner himself / herself is also a Manager of
the Enterprise. Thus, a Small Enterprise is
managed in a personalized manner. The Owner
has First Hand Knowledge of all aspects of the
Enterprise & knows what is actually going on in
the Business. He takes effective participation in all
matters of Business Decision Making.
3) A Small Enterprise has lesser Gestation
Period compared to a Large Enterprise. i.e., the
period after which the return on Investment starts.
13
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
4) Small Enterprises generally carryout their
operations so as to cater to the Local & Regional
Markets.
5) Small Enterprises use indigenous resources &
therefore can be located anywhere subject to the
availability of these resources like Raw Materials,
Labor, Transport Facilities etc.
6) They are fairly Labor Intensive with
comparatively smaller Capital Investment than the
Larger Units. That is, for the same Investment, a
Small Enterprise provides more jobs to the people
compared to a Large Enterprise.
14
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
7) Using Local Resources, Small Units are
decentralized & dispersed to Rural Areas & Smaller
Towns. Thus, the development of Small Enterprises in
Rural Areas & Smaller towns promotes more Balanced
Regional Development & thereby prevents influx of job
seekers from rural areas & smaller towns to bigger cities
& urbanizing centers.
8)
Small Enterprises are more susceptible & highly
reactive & receptive to Socio – Economic conditions
compared to larger enterprises. They are more flexible to
adapt changes like Diversification to New Products,
adopting to New Production Techniques, substituting New
Raw Materials, Changes in Organization Structure, New
Market etc.

Activity in the Country & are playing a very
important role in improving the Socio –
Economic Conditions of the people. Advantages
of these Enterprises are as follows : (12 Points)
1)
They create greater Employment
Opportunities thro Labor Intensive processes &
thereby help in tackling the Unemployment
Problem.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
2) They have Low Gestation Period & thereby
Expensive Financial Resources are not idled
unproductively for long periods.
3) They can be set up easily in Rural & Backward
Areas.
4) They need Small / Local / Regional Market.
5) They encourage growth of Local
Entrepreneurship.

VTU - Notes - Question Papers
Need & Rationale of Small
Scale Industry Development in
India :
19
As per the IPR (Industrial Policy Resolution),1956, it
emphasizes the Need & Rationale as given below :
“They provide immediate large scale employment, they
offer a method of ensuring a more equitable distribution of
the National Income & they facilitate an Effective
Mobilization of Resources of Capital & Skill which might
otherwise remain unutilized. Some of the problems that
unplanned urbanization tends to create will be avoided by the
establishment of Small Centers of Industrial Production all
over the Country.”
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers

3)
4)
20
The Rationale of Small Scale Industries so established
can be broadly classified into Four Arguments as
follows :
Employment Argument.
Equality Argument.
Decentralization Argument.
Latent Resources Argument.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
1) Employment Argument :
In View of the Scarce Capital Resources of the
Country & large Manpower, the most important
argument put forth in favor of the SSI’s is that they
have a potential to create immediate large scale
employment opportunities.
The increasing emphasis on SSI’s originates from
the widespread concern over the Unemployment
Situation in the Country. It has been found that Small
Scale Units are more Labor Intensive than Larger
Units. i.e., Small Units use more labor per Unit of
Output than
the for
Investment.
www.Bookspar.com
| Website
Students |
21
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
22
It has also been found by various studies that while Output
– Employment Ratio (Ratio of Output to the No. of people
employed) is the lowest in the Small Scale Sector, the
Employment Generation Capacity of Small Sector is between 8
to 15 times that of the Large Sector for the same amount of
Capital Invested for different types of Industries.
However, some Scholars have opposed this employment
argument of Small Scale Industries. They argued that
Employment should not be created for the sake of employment.
The more important problem being, how to make the best use
of the Scarce Resources like Capital, Power, Raw Materials,
etc, & not how to absorb Surplus Resources (Manpower).
Then, the Employment Argument becomes an Output
Argument.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
2) Equality Argument :
Another Argument put forward in favor of the
Small Scale Industry is that they ensure a more
Equitable Distribution of National Income & Wealth.
There are 2 Major Considerations :
1) The Ownership Pattern of SSI’s is more
widespread compared to the Ownership of Large Scale
Units in which Major Stake Holders are only a few.
23
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
2) They are more Labor Intensive & their
Decentralization & Dispersal to Rural & Backward Areas
provide more Employment Opportunities to the
Unemployed. This results in more equitable distribution of
the produce of the Small Scale Units.
Here, since it is Proprietorship or Partnership, the
relations between the Labor & Management are more
harmonious & cordial in Small Enterprises than in
Large Enterprises.
24
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
25
Some Authors argued that such Small Enterprises
paid less to the Workers, may be only Half of the
Wages paid to Workers of Large Enterprises. This is
because Workers in Small Enterprises are
Unorganized due to absence of Trade Unions &
therefore easily exploited by Employers.
But, However, the Workers choice is really not
between a High Paid Job & a Low Paid One, but
between a Low Paid Job or No Job at all. Thus we
can say the SSI’s have great importance in an
Economy like Ours where millions are unemployed &
in search of a Livelihood.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
3) Decentralization Argument
:
This stresses the need to disperse the Industrial
Development to different regions so as to promote
Balanced Regional Development in the Country. Large
Industries are concentrated everywhere in Urban Areas.
But, Small Enterprises can be located in Rural & Semi
Urban Areas to use Local Resources & to meet Local
Demands.
26
Decentralization of Industrial Enterprises will help
harnessing Local Resources such as Raw Materials , Idle
Capital , Local Talents , & ultimately improves the Socio –
Economic Conditions & the Standard of Living of the
People even
in thefor erstwhile
backward areas.
www.Bookspar.com

VTU - Notes - Question Papers
4) Latent Resources
Argument :
This Argument suggests that Small Enterprises are
capable of picking up Latent & Unutilized Resources like
hoarded Wealth, & Idle Entrepreneurial Ability.
However, the Real Force of Latent Resources Argument
lies in the existence of Entrepreneurial Skill.
27
The impressive growth in the number of small
enterprises during the last six decades highlights the same
fact that providing the necessary conditions such as Land,
Sheds, Power, Good Transport & Communication Facilities
, Credit Facilities etc, the Latent Resources of
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
Entrepreneurship can be tapped by the Growth of Small
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
Scale Industries only.
Objectives of Developing Small
Enterprises :
28
Reasons for Developing Small Enterprises in India can
be enumerated as follows :
1) To generate Large Scale Employment Opportunities
for the Unemployed speedily with relatively Low
Investment.
2) To Eradicate Unemployment Problem from the
Country.
3) To encourage dispersal of enterprises to all over the
country covering Rural Areas , smaller towns &
economically backward regions.
4) To bring Backward Regions too in the mainstream of
national development.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
29
5) To promote balanced regional development in the Whole
Country.
6) To ensure more equitable distribution of National Wealth
& Income.
7) To encourage effective mobilization of Untapped
Resources of the Country.
8) To improve Socio – Economic Conditions & Standard of
Living of the people in the Country.
9) To seize the Vast Opportunities created for Small
Enterprises due to Liberalization & Globalization policies of
the Govt of India.
10) To help earn Vital Foreign Exchange for the Country thro
Exports of Goods / Services of Small Enterprises.
11) To bring more Revenue to the Central & State Govts by

Role of Small Enterprises in
Economic Development :
30
Economic Development of a Country can be defined in terms of
Increase in Real Per Capita Income of Persons resulting in
Improvement in Standard of Living. The Development of Small
Enterprises contributes to the Increase in Per Capita Income & leads
to Overall Economic Development.
It generates Vast Employment Opportunities quickly with
relatively Low Investment , Promotes more equitable distribution of
National Income, makes effective mobilization of Unutilized Capital &
Skilled Manpower & leads to dispersal of Manufacturing Activities all
over the Country , leading to Growth of Villages , Small Towns &
Economically Backward Regions. This leads to Balanced Regional
Development throughout the Country.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
The Role of Small Enterprises in Economic
Development of our Country can be discussed with
reference to the following parameters during the last
Four Decades :
1) Increase in the Number of Small Enterprises.
2) Increase in the Value of Production in Rupee
Terms.
3) Increase in the Number of People Employed.
4) Increase in the Export Earnings in Rupee
Terms.
31
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
The Small Enterprises have registered phenomenal growth
in their Number, Production, Employment & Exports over the
Last Four Decades.
In 1950, there were 16,000 Registered Small Scale
Industries & this has increased to 31.21 Lakh Registered SSI’s
during 1998 – 1999.
During 1973 – 74, the Total Value of Production reported
by SSI’s was Rs. 7200 Crores & this has grown phenomenally
by about 75 Times to Rs. 5,38,357 Crores during 1998 – 1999.
32
As regards Employment, about 40 Lakh People were
employed in SSI Sector during 1973 – 1974 & there is a Four
Fold
Increase in Employment during 1998 – 1999, that is 175.2

employed in SSI Sector during 1998 – 1999.
33
There is a Phenomenal Growth in Exports Revenue
during the last Four Decades. During 1973 -1974, SSI Sector
exported Rs. 393 Crores worth of Goods & Services & this has
grown nearly 150 times to Rs. 57, 488 Crores during 1998 1999.
As we can see, the SSI Sector has been contributing
tremendously in overall economic development of the
Country by creating Vast Employment Opportunities ,
increased Value of Production, & increased Value of Exports
& Foreign Exchange Earnings.
Another way of looking at the SSI Sector for the
Economic Development of the Country is to look at its Relative
Position in terms of Country’s Total Production, Employment
& Exports. It is encouraging to note that Small Scale
Enterprises accounts for 35 % of the Gross Value of the Output

Impact of Liberalization, Privatization & Globalization of
Small Enterprises :
The process of Liberalization & Economic Reforms ,
since 1991, have thrown up new challenges to the small
enterprises sector , simultaneously creating tremendous
opportunities for the growth of this sector.
85
In this changed scenario, building Competitive Strengths,
introducing Technology Up gradation & Quality Improvement
are important issues which need to be addressed in order to
build the capacity to withstand emerging pressures & ensure
sustained growth. Also small enterprises sector needs to

VTU - Notes - Question Papers
Even before introduction of the Economic Reforms in
1991, following the inevitable Globalization, the Small
Enterprises sector was somewhat overprotected. With
Liberalization & Globalization, they are now more exposed
to severe competition from Large Domestic Private
Enterprises & from Foreign & other MNC’s.
The problems of Small Enterprises in the Liberalized
Environment are many – Delay in Implementation of
Projects, Lack of Timely assistance of Finance & Credit
from the Financial Institutions, Marketing Problems, Lack
of Proper Infrastructural Facilities, Delay in receiving
payment against the goods sold, outdated technology, poor
quality of raw materials & consumables & lack of
managerial skills etc.

Now, World over the Business Environment is changing
fast. Globalization in terms of multilateral trade liberalization
& increasing Internationalization of Production, Distribution
etc has resulted in the opening up of markets, leading to keen
competition.
For instance, the WTO regulates multilateral trade
requiring its member countries to remove restrictions on Import
Quotas & reduce the Import Tariff. Accordingly, India was
asked to remove Quantitative restrictions on Imports by 2001,
& all export subsidies by 2003. As a result, all enterprises both
Big & Small Enterprises are facing severe competition in both
domestic & export markets. Further, 643 of the 812 items
reserved for MSME Sector , have been brought under OGL
(Open General License) list of Imports as on 1st April 2001.
This has opened up stiff direct competition in the Domestic
market

countries.
Competition in the domestic market has further intensified
with the arrival of MNC’s as the restrictions on Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) have been removed. During, 1990 – 2000
period, many MNC’s in areas such as Automobiles,
Electronics, Information Technology & Telecommunication
have entered the Indian Market.
88
Many sectors which were over protected earlier & where
Large Government promoted Public Undertakings were only
involved, have been thrown open to the Private Sector by the
Government of India. As a result, many Indian & MNC’s have
such areas as Telecommunications, Infrastructural
Development Activities , establishment of International &
National Airports , formation of Special Economic Zones
(SEZs ) in specified areas etc. Privatization has resulted in

Thus, we can say that the with the New & Emerging
Industrial Scenario, MSME’s will have to be Competitive. Govt
is aware of these challenges & has been trying to improve the
Competitiveness thro various measures like :
a) Strengthen Existing Technological Facilities. It is
formulating a Scheme of assistance for Technology Up
gradation.
b) To improve access to Latest Technology, automation of the
ministry of MSME, has been taken up.
c) In order to facilitate adequate flow of Credit, a scheme of
Credit Guarantee has been launched. Measures have been taken
to improve Infrastructure Facilities & Promote Marketing of

Effect of WTO / GATT on Small
Enterprises :
90
The Emerging Challenges to Micro & Small Enterprises
Sector are due to impact of the agreements under the WTO
to which India is a Signatory.
The setting up of WTO in 1995 has altered the Basic
structure of International Trade towards supportive, Market
Oriented Policies. This is in keeping with the Policy shift
from State Regulations / Interventions in economic
Activity. This has lead to an expansion in the Volume of
International Trade & Changes in the Pattern of
Commodity Flows. The main outcome of WTO stipulated
requirements has been brought about thro a gradual
reduction in| Website

removal of Non Tariff Barriers, & reduction in Tariffs.
91
More stringent Patent Laws have been brought into force
thro regulation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) under the
Trade related aspects of the Intellectual Property Rights
(TRIPS) Agreement which stipulates the Products & Processes
which can be patented for what duration of time (20 Years) &
on what terms.
Because of WTO Agreement , there will be Large Inflows
of Imports in the Domestic Market , from around 3 % of
Domestic Production to 5 %. The removal of Quantitative
Restrictions (QR’s) on Imports has been speeded up & Imports
of these items will soon be freed from all restrictions in our
EXIM Policy. (Export - Import Policy.)
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
92
Increased Market Access under the WTO requirements will
also mean that our Small Enterprises have a bigger World
Market & can compete for Export Markets in both Developed
& Developing Countries. This requires restructuring of our
Small Enterprises to meet the demands of Quality & Global
Competitiveness for their survival & growth.
Small Enterprises contribute about 54 % of the Non
Traditional & 10 % of Traditional Exports ( Together 35 % of
the Total Exports ) of our Country. However, they have to face
Threats & also avail opportunities owing to the WTO & its
agreements.

VTU - Notes - Question Papers
The main Opportunities of WTO are classified as under :
a) Firstly, most favored nation (MFN) treatment for
exportable items across the member countries all over the
World, with better Market Access thro the Internet .
b) Secondly, enlightened Entrepreneurs have greater
Opportunities to benefit from their Comparative advantages
due to lowering of Tariffs & removal of other restrictions.
c) Finally, Enterprises that are in constant touch with the
Govt which in turn negotiates in their best interests in the On
Going dialogue with the WTO are going to benefit.

Summary :
94
India has a Good Potential to become a
Superpower in the Service Sector, particularly
Information Technology (IT) enabled services.
India has already captured 25 % of World Exports.
However, they face challenges due to competition
by way of Cheap Imports from other Countries due
to Removal of Quantitative Restrictions (QR’s) on
Imports & Lowering of Tariffs. Due to this, there is
Stiff Competition for both Small & Big Enterprises
in both Domestic & Export Markets.
www.Bookspar.com | Website for Students |
VTU - Notes - Question Papers
95
In addition, the Open General License (OGL)
opens up the possibility of Direct Competition in the
Domestic Market with the Import of High Quality
Goods from developed Nations & Cheap Products
from Less Developed Countries. Also, the entry of
MNC’s has intensified Competition in the Domestic
Market. Also, these Enterprises are finding it
extremely difficult to compete due to certain inherent
problems like Poor Quality of Goods, Costly Credit,
not so well developed Infrastructure, Traditional
Technology, Strict Labor Laws, Lack of Information
& International Exposure & ineffective Small
Enterprises association.

However, the WTO Agreements suggests ways by
which some of the adverse consequences could be
neutralized. Some of them are inbuilt safety mechanisms
like Anti Dumping & such other measures. Also WTO
prevents subsidies which directly affects the Competition
of the Product , it helps activities of Common Interest
which act indirectly act as Subsidy to the Small
Enterprises.

Supporting Institutions /
Agencies of Govt for Small
Enterprises :
97
Need for Institutional Support :
Small Enterprises are playing a Very Vital Role in Economic
Development of the Country by contributing to increased Production,
increased employment generation, contributing to nearly 40 % of our
Country’s Exports thereby help earning Important Foreign Exchange for the
Country & finally giving substantial revenue to both Central & State Govts
by way of Direct & Indirect Taxes.
Therefore, Small Scale Enterprises Sector needs a lot of support &
encouragement for its rapid growth from both Central & State Govts.
Setting up of Small Enterprise requires Infrastructural Facilities & Financial
Support as Entrepreneur on his own cannot arrange all these requirements.
Entrepreneur also requires support for marketing his Product (s) / Service
