Key Issues and challenges The following are key issues and challenges faced by SMCIs. Liberalization and Global competition Multilateral and regional trade and investment liberalization policies have made markets more accessible and competition more intense among local producers. It is becoming increasingly imperative to be internationally competitive in order to function effectively even in domestic markets. In a dynamic environment market by fast technological changes, achieving and retaining competitive edge is a necessity and a challenge. Many SMCIs could be efficient exporters if they were properly motivated and assisted in acquiring the necessary skills supported by a strong infrastructure and given the right advice and assistance. New Emerging Technologies. Most SMCIs donot see the importance of ICT applications in their daily operations. They do not realize that emerging technologies and advances in ICT have contributed to productivity growth and economic competitiveness. The increasing use of ICT in business is making it possible for large companies to secure multiple suppliers. These suppliers have to meet the requisite product quality, cost and speedy delivery with in a compressed time frame with competitiveness being increasingly determined by leading edge technologies, it is crucial that SMCIs rapidly develop their capacity to adopt and adapt technologies that are appropriate to their industries. Skill Development. Most SMCIs are labour intensive. Skills upgrading and knowledge acquisition, which are all critical to long term competitiveness. SMCIs have a negative
11

attitude towards investment in training. They fear losing well trained staff to other companies and their investment. There is a need to change this perception and mindset and to inculcate a training culture among SMCIs. The in sufficient supply of skilled and knowledgeable workforce impedes output expansion. Therefore, the ultimate objective is to produce skilled and knowledgeable workers for SMCIs to be competitive in quality price and delivery. Finance. The most cited problem confronting SMCIs is the inadequacy of finance. A key reason is SMCIs are seen as high-risk by the average banker, SMCIs traditionally finance their operations through own savings, loan from families and friends, as well as supplier credits. New start-ups face difficulties in securing credit, as they have little collateral and no track record. In addition, their is the problem of long processing time for loan application, while their shoud be a balance between meeting the needs of SMCIs and prudent banking practices. The solution still lies in improving access to institutional credit for SMCIs. This is a critical factor because a loan delayed is vartually a loan denied. Information. The ability to seek and apply information in business operations will help SMCIs to be efficient in the new business environment. As knowledge is pivotal in modern manufacturing, SMCIs need to acquire critical knowledge and skill to mermain competitive. Technology and knowledge investments have provided significant competitive edge to companies especially in design, product research, process, innovation and management information system, SMCIS thus, need a referal centre to which they can turn for information and advice on the various areas concerning their operations.

SMCIs need the following policy support * Ensure flows of public expenditure (research, extension, training and market promotion) * Stimulate private investment through proper guidance and pre-investment counseling. * Rationalize tax structure (by raising ceiling of exemption limits as regards taxation and by lowering the VAT rates ) * Provide marketing assistance * Stimulate sub-contracting activities (support for ancillary activities and producers of spares and machinery need to be ensured in light of GOBs sub-contracting policy, including through procurement and purchase policy of the government).
12

* Design a credit guarantee scheme for agro-based small-scale entrepreneurs who do not have the necessary collateral. * Create a database for the small and medium scale industries * Channel funds to the small entrepreneurs without collateral through innovative banking. * Increase of the limit of collateral free loan and keep interest rate low 10%. * Formation of cluster village * Establish a training and design centre. * Ensure more collaboration/partnership among the organization/agencies.

BSCIC TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO ACHIEVE GOAL The BSCIC provides the following services to the private sector entrepreneurs of the three clientele groups (educated solvent, semi literate and skilled people). Pre investment counselling Industrial information dissemination Scouting for entrepreneurs Extension services Entrepreneurship development Project appraisal (technical, financial, economic and management) Feasibility study Credit arrangement Sanction of enterprises Supervision of project implementation Infrastructure development Management and skill development Product development Design and prototype development and distribution Raw material arrangement Diagnostic studies Sub-contracting arrangement Innovative production process and technology Quality control Market survey of products Marketing (including export) arrangement Literature on products and process from home and abroad Research and development Inter-organization co-ordination.

Infact promotional and development activities of BSCIC at present are widely spread out all over the country. Its organizational network linked with 64 district offices each named Industries Service Centre(ISC), 4 Regional Offices located at main 4 administrative divisions and one headquarter office located in the Capital City, Dhaka. Altogether consisting of 1400 Govt. approved manpower strength of which different level Senior Officers 648, Staffs 752 persons constitute BSCIC structure/organogram who are performing BSCICs functions. Board of Directors is the supreme authority for taking organizational decision. Chairman is the Chief Executive of the organization and 6 Directors under him are responsible to making policy and to operate, monitor and controll all of the BSCIC activities and to administer their respective department. To face globalization challenges and Govt. reform policy presently BSCIC needs rational and effective manpower structure with smart logistic support containing ICTs and E-governance facilities. By introducing reform measures BSCIC could take more initiatives for generating its earnings, where cost minimizing techniques and more income scopes may be introduced. This new era of BSCIC will be reducing GOB revenue burden and ultimately BSCIC will able to sustain on their long path.

15

Indicative avenues for earning sources are mentioned in the following : Commercialization of BSCIC property. Approxmately 5 percent development charge from plot recepients of industrial estate. Fees collection from sub-contracting arrangement. Sales proceeds from market information like market study etc., Promotional services, tender documents, forms and other services etc. Earning from SCITI training services like training fees, consulting services. Earning from Design Centre by selling Design, Prototype and Expertriate knowledge etc. To explore more avenues for earnings. SCITI & Design Centre might have two separate accounts which will earn and meetup their recurring expenditure. Definitions: Small manufacturing industry : Fixed investment less than Tk. 15 million, exclusion of land and factory building Small non-manufacturing industry : less than 25 full time employees. Medium manufacturing enterprise : Fixed investment greater than Tk. 15 million but less than Tk. 100 million. Medium non-manufacturing enterprise : Less than 100 fulltime employees. [[ Cottage Industry : Covers household based units operated mainly with family labour.

Definition may be change time to time as declared by the government industrial policy. Important assumptions : Skill Human Resources, Optimum supply of power, Fuel, Gas,Desired infrastructure facilities, source and application of fund remain available. Conclusion : Success of SMCIs development in Bangladesh needs several inputs. Such as effective policy modus operandi upto date knowledge and information related to business and industry, efficient personnel, capital fund, dependable infrastructures, appropriate and competitive technology and inter-ministerial ties with close co-ordial relationship is very much needed for achievement of goal and vision of BSCIC. Every input must be utilized in the proper time in appropriate way so we can expect the efficient output.
