Understanding how to effectively manage credit transactions, assess creditworthiness, and maintain positive relationships with creditors is essential for financial stability and growth. Entrepreneurs with strong credit management knowledge are better equipped to secure financing, build credibility, optimize cash flow, and make informed financial decisions. By implementing sound credit management practices, businesses can mitigate the risk of bad debts, enhance their reputation, and seize opportunities for expansion and diversification. Ultimately, credit management knowledge serves as a foundation for entrepreneurial success by ensuring financial stability, facilitating access to resources, and enabling strategic decision-making. The study used the descriptive research design. The target population was 220 Micro Enterprises in Guangzhou, China. The study did sampling of 146 respondents that were chosen from the target population of 220 Micro Enterprises in Guangzhou, China. Data collection was done by the use of questionnaires. The study concluded that access to financing is a key determinant of entrepreneurial success. By equipping young entrepreneurs with credit management knowledge, they can develop strong credit profiles, demonstrate their creditworthiness, and increase their chances of securing loans or credit lines from financial institutions. Efficient cash flow management is vital for the smooth operation of micro enterprises. The study recommended that government agencies, industry associations, and educational institutions can collaborate to develop training programs and workshops specifically tailored to young entrepreneurs. Policymakers should consider implementing initiatives that incentivize financial institutions to provide accessible financing options to micro enterprises. Integrating credit management education into school curricula, vocational training programs, and entrepreneurship initiatives can equip young individuals with essential financial skills from an early stage.","PeriodicalId":293107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entrepreneurship and Project Management","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125284263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An obvious manifestation of the responses towards this turbulent environment is the introduction of performance contracting as part of the broader public sector reforms aimed at improving efficiency and effectiveness in the management of the services. Employees form a major stakeholder group in an enterprise. However, their productivity and performance is dependent on their degree of motivation. This can be influenced by how they perceive and interpret various initiatives that may be introduced by the organization; a critical one in this regard being introduction of performance contracting. Performance contracting is a devolved management by outcome rather than management by processes. It provides a range of management instruments used within the public sector to define responsibilities and expectations between parties to achieve mutually agreed result. This research work sought to investigate the disconnect that may arise between employee perception of performance contracting in state corporations, based on their initial expectations from such a plan. The main objectives investigated during the study were to establish employee perception of the performance contracts adopted by the state corporations. \u0000Methodology: A sample of 160 respondents was used in the study. The data collected was presented using tables and analyzed using descriptive statistics i.e. frequencies, percentages, mean scores and standard deviations. \u0000Findings: The study established that there was a significant perception gap between employee expectations and perceived performance of the strategy in all indicators measure. \u0000Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: Recommendations made were that, all employees need to be stakeholders in the future direction of the organization, even if it be in varying degrees. Their daily performance and activities should be measured along the specific milestones and core values identified by the contract, since what cannot be measured cannot be managed.","PeriodicalId":293107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entrepreneurship and Project Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128876933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
