Threatens the survival of every business and makes sound liquidity and cash retention the vocal point for the management rather than the achievement of maximum profitability in experience of past few years had shown that no business or industry larger or small in Nigeria Today could claim to enjoy immunity from the financial, the threats to economic survival that had development recession. Shrinking government revenue from domestic taxation and oil acute shortage of foreign exchange removal of petroleum subsidy and the creeping-devaluation of the Nigeria currency in view of above situation, management attention should therefore be focused on the management principles & techniques that can help the business to survive within the uncertain economic environment?

5.0 Recommendations And Conclusion

5.1 Recommendation

Having analysed and presented in finding of this research work in the proceeding chapter, the researcher deemed it fit to make recommendation on this study the problem of a management of a recessionary economy. The researcher believes that if these recommendations are through implemented, it will go along way in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the management. The researcher recommends a major part for the need to hold cash in a period of economic recession. At this stage, Keyness in stressed the need for holding cash. The transaction, motive, precautionary motive & the speculative motive. Based on the above stated needs, I hereby recommend the following:-

Management has to be financed through debentures, which is a long term financing and which is not secured by mortgage on specific company properties or fixed assets.
Loans should be obtained from banks long term loan with a minimized interest to help financing of businesses at the periods.
Managers should be orientated from time to time through seminars, works cops and symposiums to enable them manage well during recession.
A proper accountability technique should be adopted by firms & to ensure proper usage of funds during and after the period of recession.

5.2 Conclusion

In this study the researcher have tried to show that the management contribute in no small measure for the successful of any business and become indispensable for business operating in an uncertain and changing economic environment such as the one Nigeria is going through today. Thus the researcher also made it clear that no amount of the planning & control can guarantee the survival of business in a volatile economy, where people are not prepared to make sacrifice to subject themselves to discipline and be truly committed to the success of the establishment. Nevertheless, a sound the management remains hidden treasure the exact value of which the management may be unaware. What I am saying in effect is that the present abuse of the management both at the private and public sector has led to the collapse of the Nigeria economy. Analyst, all over the world have concluded that the problem with Nigeria business is not investment but the management of the shareholders interest in the business.

Finally, this work revealed that poor manpower training is a notorious factor, which has led to poor, the management of business in a recessionary economy point of emphasis. Therefore, is the top middle and lower managers should be trained and retrained from time to time, to enhance their ability to source, disburse and control firms financial resources, particularly in a recessionary economy.
