The study examines the relationship that exists between Kaizen cost management technique and profitability of small and medium scale enterprise in Ogun State, Nigeria. It evaluates the nature of Kaizen cost management technique and how it can be adopted to reduce and control operational costs of SMEs. The study adopted primary data and a sample of 269 respondents consisting of small and medium scale enterprises were purposively chosen from Agro-allied, confectionery, general trading and transport business in Ogun State Nigeria. The study population comprised 2,685 enterprises obtained through a preliminary survey of SMEs in the three senatorial districts of Ogun States namely Ogun West, Ogun East, Ogun Central. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on relevant variables from respondents. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was adopted to analyze the questionnaire. The result of statistical test of hypothesis shows that there is a significant relationship between Kaizen cost management technique and profitability of SMEs. A further test of significant relationship between cost components and profitability of SMEs using Regression Analysis shows that only fixed cost reliably predicted the average annual profit by a factor of 0.099. Key-words -: Kaizen, cost management, technique and Profitability
本研究考察了改善成本管理技术与尼日利亚奥贡州中小型企业盈利能力之间存在的关系。它评估了改善成本管理技术的性质，以及如何采用它来降低和控制中小企业的运营成本。该研究采用了原始数据，并有目的地从尼日利亚奥贡州的农业联盟、糖果、一般贸易和运输企业中选择了269个由中小型企业组成的受访者样本。研究对象包括2,685家企业，这些企业是通过对奥贡州三个参议院选区即奥贡西部、奥贡东部和奥贡中部的中小企业进行初步调查获得的。采用结构化问卷，从被调查者中获取相关变量的信息。采用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)软件对问卷进行分析。假设的统计检验结果表明，改善成本管理技术与中小企业盈利能力之间存在显著的关系。利用回归分析进一步检验成本构成与中小企业盈利能力之间的显著关系表明，只有固定成本可靠地预测年平均利润为0.099。关键词:改善，成本管理，技术和盈利能力
