INTRODUCTION
1.1    BACKGOUND OF THE STUDY
This study is set to investigate the role of Small Business Organizations with a case of study on Bilo Tex Trading and Construction Company Nig LTD based in Enugu State. By investigation, this company has been established six years ago and has four sections; the personal section, construction, production and marketing sections. It engages in the production of keys, tanks, gates and aluminum.
Based on the study, a manager is the person who holds a management position and who performs the process of management, or one who occupies management position and performs organizational functions of management.
        In the same view, (NWEKE 1952) in his book supports that a manager is that integrates all functions of management, such as planning, organizing, motivating and controlling to achieve an organizational goal or objective which the organization was established upon.
 His position is of leadership, his work is more leading, therefore, this two things are related and their relationship can be expressed as the responsibilities of a manager in the following classification-management as a position and management as a job or activity.
        More so, the management by the classification of management occupies administration position (top level) managing director or general manager, the operative position (the workers) these groups are all involved in the accomplishment of the organizations example complementing a batch order, meeting a sales quota, assembling financial data etc, are the duties of production, supervisors, sales supervisors. finance officer and a certain technical staff, when an operative manager performs the work of management, performs the work of administrative and management of the activities are known as and operative management
In other words, the middle management position, the  perform both the administrative and operative manager, the proportion of each performance depends upon the degree of decentralization of the firm, talking of business its size and particular philosophy.
Management as a job or activity undertakes decision making, the process of decision making is one deciding the course of action and that of solving business problems.
There are two types of personnel decision which a businessman makes as he seeks to maximize his own income valve or pleasure.
And management decision affects not only the welfare of the manager but other benefits accruing to other persons connected with the organization. secondary, job co-ordination has to do with a manager’s responsibility for planning and physical factors in an organization.
The purpose of co-dination is to link the company together as a unified whole. Then planning, organizing and control reveal or explain the exact nature of the work of a manager. The activities of planning, organizing and controlling are called the organic function management.
The interrelation between the four function e.g planning, organizing, motivative and controlling the managers use these activities solely for the purpose , of reaching organizational goals or objectives. For explanation, organizing is based on well though-out motivating systems must be tailored to reflect both these plans and the organization design used to implement the plan.
So, the role of a manager in a small business organization is a pattern of actions expected to the manager in activities involving others. And it reflects a person’s position as a social system geared towards goal achievement of the organization. Goal of the organization must be sold at a lower price. Profit cannot be the goal, instead profit must be by product.
        So, the manager’s role is  the cornerstone of the organization because without his absolute co-odination of the enterprises, there will be no work done.
Mostly  importantly, the manager imposes some trends or problem in his such as managerial capabilities in handing records kept by the management then wrong uses of funds etc. the possible solutions such as training of employees, and managers, are for the improvement of the small business organization.
