Abstract

Nigeria is a developing nation in West Africa and the manufacturing management in this nation in the past twenty years has not been well documented. This paper sets out the research design for investigating Nigeria manufacturing management. The project is a combination of ‘explanatory and exploratory researches’ because it strives to explore the issues related to the Nigerian manufacturing organizations with the help of the existing research studies as well as statistical survey work.
