Abstract

-- This paper examines the critical role of business analysis in shaping small and medium-sized enterprises’ strategies for better odds of success in the ever-evolving Nigerian economy and within the competitive markets. Business analysis ability, as a knowledge-supporting factor, focuses on understanding consumer needs, planning, data collection, analysis, and presentation to decision-makers. The process begins with strategic planning and meticulous data collection, facilitating a deep understanding of the business and consumer behavior and process potential. Analytical skills unearth the true potential of organizational processes, particularly in product creation, resulting in distinctive and highly valued products. Such products align with theories like the resource-based view or VRIO theory, driving increased sales volume—a key performance metric. By leveraging analytical capabilities, Nigerian SMEs can navigate complex market dynamics, create value-driven businesses, and differentiate themselves from competitors thus increasing the odds of success. This paper sets the stage for further research into the impact of business analysis on organizational success within dynamic market landscapes.
