: The study is deduced from a Ph.D. thesis that investigated the critical success factors influencing SMEs in Jigawa State, Nigeria. Over twenty-one, critical success factors were identified in the literature review as influencing the success of SMEs across many locations and industries, and seven were considered important for this study. Studies confirmed the need to identify the CSFs that apply to SMEs of a location or industry. The federal government of Nigeria focused on developing entrepreneurship and SMEs to trigger socio-economic development, which resulted in many initiatives, including the establishment of SMEDAN to support the development of SMEs to reduce or eliminate their failure, as envisaged by many researchers. The objective was to discover the CSFs that influence the success of SMEs in Nigeria. The study using a mixed approach, considered the SMEs operating in Jigawa State, Nigeria

The handloom textile industry is one of Bangladesh's major labor contributing endeavors that provides income and employment opportunities for a sizable section of rural labor. However, in recent years, the handloom textile industry has been experiencing severe competition with the power loom textile industries in terms of technical efficiency, wage discrimination, and profit margin. This study aims to measure the technical efficiency of the handloom textile industry in handloom rich areas of Bangladesh. This study used multistage sampling techniques to collect data from 50 handloom textile industries in the Sirajganj district. The Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) technique was used to assess technical inefficiency and production efficiency. In contrast, the Benefit-Cost Ratio was used to determine the profit margin for handloom textile industries. The results show that the sample means technical efficiency is 79 percent, ranging from 38 to 100 percent. The SFA regression model also indicates that 66 percent of handloom industries have a 0.75–1.00 efficiency score, while 6 percent of the firms operate below 50 percent of technical efficiency. The Benefit-Cost Ratio analysis shows that handloom products are not highly profitable. The study also found that the existing handloom textile industries face high prices of colors and fabrics, lower adoption of technical knowledge, and obstacles to access to credit, all of which affect the production efficiency of handloom industries. With the foremost prospect of this industry, government policies should address the above problems to ensure favorable textile production in the study area.

Bu çalışmada nakit talebini etkileyen faktörler hem toplamda hem de yüksek, orta ve düşük değerli banknotlar gruplandırması çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, gelirdeki artışın nakit talebinde artışa yol açtığını ve orta ve düşük değerli kupürlerin işlem amaçlı kullanımının daha yoğun olduğunu göstermektedir. Reel faizdeki artış nakit talebini düşürürken yüksek değerli banknotların talebinde daha güçlü etkisinin olması bu kupürlerin daha çok değer saklama aracı olarak talep edildiği ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, kartlı harcamaların en çok orta değerli kupürler için ikame etkisi oluşturduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ek olarak, finansal belirsizlikteki artış tüm kupür gruplarında nakit talebini artırırken; döviz kurlarındaki artışın nakit talebini negatif yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
