Impact of Globalization on MSME Prospects, Challenges and Policy Implementation on Economic Growth

Globalisation is bound to impact every economic activity -the small scale sector is no exception. Along with that World Trade Organisation W.T.O agreements and negotiations have thrown up a variety of challenges. The disturbing factor is that most of the small units are unaware of these agreements and negotiations and have no idea as to how they are going to affect them. With a view to build the capacity of the Indian micro, small and medium manufacturing enterprises for overcoming competition in the global markets and facing challenges being posed by the entry of the multi nationals in the domestic markets Government of India GoI has taken various policy measures. The current paper focuses on the contribution of MSMEs, prospects and problems for MSMEs in this highly competitive global era. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises MSME sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. MSMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural and backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth, the process of globalization is an inevitable phenomenon in human history which has been bringing the world closer since the time of early trader and exploration through the exchange of goods, products, information, jobs, knowledge and culture.
