This study investigated the effect of leadership styles on organizational performance of SMEs in Lagos State using a contingency approach. The descriptive survey method was used in estimating the model and the primary data were generated with aid of distributed questionnaire to two hundred respondents which were selected through judgemental sampling procedure. From the mean, standard deviation analysis and paired sample test, the result indicated a relationship between autocratic, participative, transactional and transformative leadership styles and performance of organisations. The recommendation of the study was that since compensation rewards are stimulating factors that help to boost the organizational performance, effective reward systems, recognition and managerial supervision should be implemented to improve employee’s performance. Managers were equally advised not to restrict themselves to a style of leadership but to adopt a mixture of various leadership styles due to different environmental factors and situations in which they find themselves.

Innovations, such as introducing novel concepts, have been proven to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall performance, which is vital for the competitive landscape of SMEs in Nigeria. This cross sectional survey research explores the impact of innovation capabilities, specifically product and process innovation, on the survival of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

Product innovation demonstrated a weak but statistically significant positive correlation with SME survival, explaining 9.6% of the variation while process innovation exhibited a stronger relationship, explaining 18.1% of the changes in SME survival. The study concludes that the capacity to innovate enhances goods and services, improves customer satisfaction and loyalty, and ensures long-term sustainability. The study recommends that SMEs intensify product research efforts to enhance patronage and survival. Additionally, SME owners are advised to re examine and invest in business processes, recognizing their impact on survival.
