Abstract
Economic circumstances like the recession and cut-throat competition in recent years
have now forced companies to pay closer attention to their corporate policies and
strategies for dealing with economic opportunities and for remaining one step ahead of
competition. This is true for the highly industrialized economies as it is for less
developed countries where multinational, transnational and local companies compete
vigorously with one another for market share and for good corporate image, by
identifying and in some cases helping to shape public policy for the greater good of the
communities in which they operate. This thesis focused on Legal and Management
Strategies: The Synergy for Survival and Growth of Companies in Nigeria. It is
comprised of five chapters beginning with general introduction, objectives of the
research, justification, scope, methodology, literature review, and organizational layout.
The thesis explains the nexus between finance and investment by defining finance and
investment, and, highlighting the objectives and significance of finance, investment
scenario, investment fora, government policy and provisions investors, sources of
finance, government banks and other financial institutions, general public and company
employees. Also the thesis indicates determinants of company survival, for example,
the quality of resources – human resources, material resources, financial resources, the
quality of resource management, damage and waste control systems, the quality of time
and opportunity management, contingency and emergency management, determinants
of company growth, internalization of technology, in-house development of human
resources: in-service training, incentives for skill enhancement and creation of credit
worthiness. The thesis appraises survival and growth of three successful companies,
such as Unilever Nigeria Plc, Neimeth International Pharmaceutical Plc and
GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Plc and recommends survival and growth
strategies for companies in Nigeria.
