Abstract	Microenterprises have proliferated in countries around the globe in recent years, creating jobs and improving the economic outlook of countries. A preliminary study of 151 microenterprises in Malaysia found performance and Entrepreneurial Orientation significantly was affected by managerial issues. Performance was influenced little, if any, by outside financing or government support. Moderate support was found in relating managerial capabilities to sales and profit, securing finances, and government financing. The findings indicate that management of the microenterprise is a key contributor to business success. Management training programs should be implemented to assist microenterprises. Personalized entrepreneurial training for groups must be developed to reach the multicultural and multi-ethnic Malaysia population. This study has major implications for government officials, non-government organizations, and policy makers as they seek viable, sustainable models for microenterprise expansion in emerging economies. Information technology may offer solutions to some access issues. Limitations and implications for future studies are discussed.
