    The Nigerian business environment has been opened to the outside world, hence organizations that cannot convey the message of their products to the consumers may be priced out of markets. The inability of organizations to effectively communicate their products has been confirmed to reduce their income level thereby leading to low profitability. This is partly due to their inability to effectively communicate their business to the consumers of their products or services. These are attributable to factors such as poor and ineffective communication between the producer or suppliers of products and the potential consumer (customer). Primary data were collected using detailed questionnaire and analyzed. With an R2 of 51.9, it posits that 51.9 percent of profitability level are determined by effective communication. The study revealed that existence of effective business communication in an organization has a positive effect on goal achievement; enhancement of customer patronage and overall business development and this will lead to organizational profitability. The study therefore recommended that businesses should put in place effective communication system that will help in achieving higher rates of returns which will lead to higher profit.

    Impact of ICT in the Management of SMES Turnover in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Depertment of Business Administration, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2016) KADIRI, Ismaila Bolarinwa (Ph.D); SULEIMAN, Ahmed Aremu
    Small and Medium-Scale Enterprise (SMES) play a very important role in the process of industrialization and sustainable economic growth. SMEs die as soon as they are established because their production process, marketing of their output as well as turnover are often neglected thereby almost impossible to estimate their growth pattern. The emergence of computer applications for SMEs will result in the growth of the Internet and other communication network, a growing diversity of business transactions, and increased competition. The Internet is fast becoming the foundation for new business models, processes, and marketing of industrial products. This study therefore examined the impact of computer applications on the management of small business operations in the Ilorin Metropolis. A structured questionnaire was administered to respondents and the linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. The result of the ANOVA of 0.001 signifies that SMEs that use ICT in the management of their turnovers are more profitable than those that do not use it. The paper therefore recommends that SMES should intensify its efforts in the use of ICT in their operation to enhance their productivity.
