the quantitative findings. Inferential statistical techniques, such as regression analysis, will be applied to
examine relationships and correlations between variables, offering insights into the factors influencing
customer satisfaction and market dominance.

3.4 Limitations of the Study:

The study acknowledges certain limitations that may impact the research outcomes. Firstly, the study's time
frame from May 2023 to July 2023 may restrict a comprehensive analysis of long-term trends or
developments beyond this period. Secondly, the availability of primary data might be subject to the
cooperation of Mind Box and its stakeholders, potentially limiting access to sensitive or confidential
information. Additionally, the research design may not capture the perspectives of all customers or
stakeholders due to the sampling approach and limited scope. Finally, as with any study, biases or
subjectivity in data interpretation could influence the findings, and efforts will be made to mitigate such
issues through triangulation and verification of data. Despite these limitations, the study aims to provide
valuable insights into the working of Mind Box LLC and its impact in the technology distribution industry in
India.

3.5 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Financial Management is the management of finances of a business, with the tasks ofsourcing nad
alocating funds appropriately to meet the business operations (Turyahebwa,Sunday, Burani et al, 2013).

20
Wolmarans and Meintjes (2015) expounded financial managementis the planning, directing, monitoring,
organizing, and controlling of the finance. Some of the pactices of financial management include
cash management, receivables management, inventorymanagement, investment, financing, and financial
reporting and analysis (Turyebha, Sunday,Burani et all, 2013).
The Financial Management knowledge within a business consists of the past personalexperiences of the
owner, employees, and other external sources (Cleary & Quinn, 2016).
Anincrease knowledge for small business owners in finance could improve their overallmanagement of
small business (Alpar & Winkelstiter, 2014 ; Drexler, Fischer, & Scoar, 2014)Financial Management is one
of the most crucial areas of management of small businesses, and if executed correctly, small businesses are
likely to be successful (Wolmaraus &Meintjes, 2015).

In line with the financial management tool, accounting information is essentialto the success of small
businesses (Zapata, Brito, & Triay, 2014). Mazzarol (2014) approved theimportance of financial
management for the growth and expansion of small businesses.Studies in which financial management has
been measured by scales have revealed evenmore clearly that financial management has a substantial effect
on financial satisfaction(Godwin, 1994).
Strategies are mechanisms that owners and administrators of organizations establish togain a sustainable
competitive advantage (Morries, Schindehutte, Richardson, & Allen, 2015)and success.
According to Menard (2014), strategies are plans of actions that influence behaviorwithin institutional
norms and rules. Strategic management is essential for efficient managementof the resources of the firm
(Hin, Kadir, & Bohari, 2013).
Business strategies are alignment ofthe organization with its environment (Palmer, Wright, & Powers,
2015).According to Agyei-Mensah (2011), the major cause of these business enterprise failuresin Ghana is
careless financial management. The intended goals of financial management are thefoundations upon which
the efficiency and effectiveness of financial management are evaluatedand compared. The efficient and
effective acquisition and use of finance in any enterprise leads to proper employment of the enterprise’s
finance.
The intended goals of financial management are grouped into two main components and they are
maximization of profit and wealth (Paramasivan and Subramanian, 2009.

English (1990)also added growth as one of the targets of financial management. Researchers who
haveresearched into financial management have no difference when it comes to the thoughts of keyfinancial
management decisions.

21
While extant research highlights the importance of acquiring financial resources frominvestors, other
financial management activities such as financing through operations, strategicfinancial planning, and
financial controlling have received little attention. This entails the dangerthat financial management in the
entrepreneurship domain is reduced to the acquisition ofexternal financing, while other important areas of
financial management are ignored.Financial resources serve as a catalyst in the resource acquisition process,
as they can beused to acquire resources and configure the resource base (Alsos et al., 2006).
