This study examined the socio-cultural environment and performance of manufacturing enterprises in Nigeria. The specific objectives are: to ascertain the extent to which each of the five decomposed variables of socio-cultural environment of lifestyle change, attitude, consumerism, values, norms, and authority relationship of the people relate to performance of manufacturing enterprises. This survey study used the correlational research design to ascertain the degree of the magnitude of the relationship between the studied variables. A structured questionnaire was administered on the sample of N=300 distributed evenly amongst the six geopolitical sectors of the country. The study found a significant negative relationship between lifestyle change of the society and the performance, a significant negative relationship between attitude of the society and the performance, a significant positive relationship between consumerism and the performance, a significant negative relationship between the values and norms of the society and performance, and a significant negative relationship between authority relationship and the performance of manufacturing enterprises. For these manufacturing enterprises to improve their performance, there must be a proactive effort to understand and consciously appreciate the interplay of the socio-cultural environmental factors. The study recommends that the government and community leaders look at the socio-cultural environmental factors that influence people's perceptions.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to uncover ways to enhance the growth of micro tailoring businesses by assessing the socio-economic and socio-cultural environments at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP).


Design/methodology/approach
The study used a qualitative research design involving a multiple case study with data from semi-structured interview and non-participant observation.


Findings
The study reveals how micro tailoring businesses modify tailoring practices to cope with the religious practice of seclusion and use entrepreneurial actions to deal with unstable electricity, inadequate finance and conditions of extreme poverty that limit the growth of micro tailoring businesses at the BOP.


Research limitations/implications
The qualitative nature of this study with a focus on micro tailoring businesses in BOP context could limit the generalization of findings. However, replication of the study can be done in other contexts to validate the findings.


Practical implications
The study shows the need for entrepreneurial leadership which continually modifies tailoring practices in ways that sustain tailoring businesses and circumvent the possibility of failure in adverse socio-economic and socio-cultural conditions.


Originality/value
This study is the first to unravel the experiences of micro tailoring businesses at the BOP. Past studies have assessed barriers to the growth of small and medium scale enterprises in general, but this study uncovers the distinct aspects of tailoring business in a largely under-researched context.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the modern perception of the world, characterized by the accumulation of facts and events that cause confusion and distrust in the creative personality of new contradictions, discrepancies with real life, forming his creative thinking in a mythological way, based on combinations of different levels of perception. The methodology of the study is based on the studies of R. Bart, K. Bremon, AJ Greimas, K. Levi-Strauss, J. Lotman, W. Propp, P. Reeker, and other scholars who have considered the principles of narratives in the mysteries of the archaic era in historical and cultural orientation, to identify in them common or different from modernity. Narrative concepts of contemporary Ukrainian composers are also considered in the context of research by M. Bakhtin, E. Benvenist, B. Gasparov, E. Paduchev, and others, as a ratio of myth and narrative, given the commonality of metaphor, imagery, and symbolism. Scientific novelty. It is established that the narrative message is an expression of the authors 'desire: to return to the public space the introverted ethos of mystical suggestions of ancient erotic myths, the revival of ancient mythologized historical images, mythological narratives of the "living soul of nature ", synthesis of avant-garde ideas and pagan folklore, pagan mythology and secret rites of Carpathian molfars (magicians), the formation of narratives that are not related to any confessional style of Christian churches, expressing their own understanding of the concept of spirituality, etc. Conclusions. It is found that the narrative understanding of the world in all areas of civilization: in myths, legends, fairy tales, music, cinema, etc., is based on the formation of certain areas of personality behavior as a result of interaction with the world. Completion of this process is marked by the structuring and awareness of one's own "I" as a self-narrator, developing in the social environment in a continuous creative movement.
