Abstract:
Knowledge is a great resource to any SME especially in the recent times where markets are characterized by stiff competition. Entrepreneur Training (ET) is an important strategic tool that is leveraged in modern management to enjoy competitive advantage and stabilize the success of companies. The motive for ET is to improve skills, enhance entrepreneur knowledge and develop the SME. This attempts to examine the implication of ET on enterprising family productivity (EFP) in the Gulf Cooperation Council. The study was conducted through an empirical research design; a survey method was employed and the study population comprised 15 SMEs Owners in Oman. Data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. The data was subsequently analysed using quantitative techniques of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The researcher only carried out the research in Oman due to financial and time constraints. However, the research believes that the result of this study may be inferred to all GCC member countries. The researcher finds that there is a strong, statistically significant positive implication of ET on SMEs performance. SMEs owners who had invest in ET reported improved productivity in their SMEs.
