Abstract

In recent times, the market strategy in which most nations that are already developed SMEs operation has witnessed a tremendous change in the past, due to the implementation of globalization, highly advanced technologies and supply chain management to its highly competitive market landscape. Nigeria SMEs have not fully taken advantage of these management tools because of lacking the quality or quantity required knowledge of globalization, research and supply chain management. The over dependence on crude oil as the major financial of its economy has caused a major neglect of other aspects of the economy such as garment industry, shoe making industry and textiles industries through inadequate or no funding. These reasons had prevented Nigeria SMEs to enhance its profitability and competitive advantage with the developed nation’s global market. The aim of this paper is to present a literature review on the impact of globalization on current practices in the supply chain management of Nigerian SMEs.
