1. Strength
The article shows few benefit of training and manpower development implemented in SMEs
have convert to become strength for the organization. In the process of training and manpower
development have restructure the organization, following by training in advancement of technology
downsizing may happen in an organization hence it reduced unfavourable expenses of the organization.
When downsizing happen in SMEs organization it will cause high level of unemployment pushed some
people into self-employment as an alternative, since the self-employment prospect have the skill and
knowledge through training they can built to enter the industry with lower barriers and open up as an
opportunity to fill the market nicer. It not only reduce the unemployment rate in the country but it bring
more competitive market to the organization so it will keep improvement to the organization and bring
benefit for the consumer.
In the other way, work force training and development can help to improve business. The
research shown in article state that training and development applying in “ bottom level” are not
effective in improvement in the quantitative ways , but this training will more success if the firm
applying more qualitative approach. The training done within the work force will increase the skill and
standard with the production of employee, when the quality of work force improved it imperceptibility
increased business of the organization. From training and development the organization, the
organization improved externally by increasing customer and improved internally by produce more
qualitative product.
Skill is one of the vital factors for one SMEs organization to grow and improvement towards
their organization. Training and manpower development implement on management level will allow the
organization to work more efficiency and effectiveness with the enhancement of the skill and
performance of the managerial employee. New skills which acquire from managers promoted the
growth of SMEs. Skill grows within manager level employee help the organization function more
systematic and nearer the work of lower level employee to the company objective by provided and
educated the skill to the employee by manager.
2. Weakness
The weaknesses found on SMEs organization training and manpower development will cause the
management tends to regard training as an operating expense rather than an investment. The wrong
perception of the management is one of the reason SMEs organization do not willing to provide training
and manpower development in their organization, it will cause the organization reduce the financial
support to imply training and manpower development other than that by the perception it increased
organization cost and emerge a bad phenomenon in organization future planning in supporting training
and manpower development. Managers in smaller firms are more sceptical about the benefit of training,
therefore the training and development is more challenging to pursuit the smaller organization whi ch
like SMEs to trust the outcome of the training result so it consequence the organization in order to
downsizing rather than choosing the method to improve their company by training.
It is difficult for employers and employees to find time and identify type of training and development. A
ineffective monitor to employee by employer and ambiguous organization objective caused some blocks
and problem to the employer and employee. A SMEs employer do not have sufficient monitoring toward
their employee it will cause the organization chosen a candidate which not suitable for the training and
wasted the resources of the SMEs organization. Besides, heavy work in a SMEs organization are not
allow the employee to find the time to join the training process hence that if the non managerial level
employee is unclear about the objective of the organization in the business they will met problems
when choosing the type of training so it caused certain level difficulties for the to choose the type of
training.
Employee training is critical to firm development and large scale government financial support for
training, research findings do not clearly demonstrate a link between the provision of training and better
business performance is despite the received view in policy circles. Training and manpower
development’s benefit do not realize by government and they despite to support the organization to
perform it caused the organization meet more obstructions by the rules and regulation also financial
support with grow their organization to fight the challenge and stronger business from overseas country
which is financial support by their government. Its difficult to measure qualitative forms of development
such as improvement in employees understanding of business or their capacity to carry out particular
task.
3. Opportunity
Training and manpower development implement in SMEs organization bring benefit and opportunity to
employer and employee. The SMEs organization using the method on the job training will added
Opportunity and creating productive environment to motivate workers, when the employee selected for
training and manpower development they will feel they are important by the company other that that
they know the organization is concerning about their contribution so that they will more motivated on
work. Training and manpower development also increase the morale of the employee in work, training
allow the employee to learn new knowledge and empowering their job scope with new task and avoided
daily repeated task that create boringness in their job.
Providing training flat can increase managerial characteristics. In the SMEs organization they lack of
managerial knowledge in managing their employee, the process of developing and enlarging the
organization will cause the managerial worker meet obstruction and complication in performing their
job. When the managerial worker gets trained, the organization will improved to more systematic and
that allow the managerial worker to organize the employee more easily by their new managerial
knowledge. Other than that, the SMEs training and manpower training increased company competitive
advantages compare to external environment with latest and well management skill.
Training and manpower development encouraged SMEs firm explore the relationship between
management training and SME’s performance. Training can become an opportunity to an organization
instead of taking training and manpower development as a functional expenses. From the training, SMEs
organization will realize that the training will helps to enhance the organization performance. SMEs
found out the result of training is positively related with the organization performance therefore they
will more focus towards the training process and make it a way as solution to the company instead of
expenses to the SMEs organization.
Threats
In certain condition training and manpower development will become threats to the SMEs organization
which is non experience on it and not well managed. Workers may leave for higher paid jobs might
happen in an organization because of the employee have updated their skill and knowledge with the
training so they will delegate to work with higher difficulties task. When the higher difficulties task is
perform by the employee they will seeking for higher payment, if the SMEs organization unable to pay
their favorable salary it might meet challenging with the bigger structure organization which paying
higher salary to their employee hence the SMEs organization will lost their talent and the training
process to employee will become a treat for an SMEs organization.
The employee who working in the SMEs organization will demand for more if they skillful. The employee
in the organization who attending the training will feel that there are more important in the
organization and their responsibility is getting higher to the job so that they will request the organization
to giving them better offer in job. Promotion and event more training will requested by the employee
who are only improved skill but not loyalty through training, it might increased organization burden and
cause organization culture corrupted by the employee.
