Robert Ferber and P. Verdoom (1970:45) argued that, sometimes primary data will be collected by means of survey, sometimes from company records or others source material.

Secondary data is «A data gathering method that makes use of pre-existing data» Richard M. Grinnell and Margaret Williams, (1990:228). This technique is important because it reviews the literature and tries to canvas both global and national perspectives so that the researcher could have a comparative framework for analysis and evaluation (William, 1982:401).

Secondary data sources for this research work were drawn from the permanent file of some surveyed enterprises. The permanent file included among other documents and these includes the following: the statute, minute of managers, the manual of procedures and other documents considered necessary for this study.

Furthermore, most of the research on SMEs that had been carried out in Huye water enterprise was about the private, so the researcher is interested in discovering the concerns of SMEs effectiveness and efficiency in the private organizations, hence selecting the case study of Huye water enterprise.

Despite the fact that the population under this study is derived from a selected enterprise and this selection is formed by customers, employees and staff of enterprise.

3.5.1. Sample size and selection technique

The study must consider a sample size that is within the cost constraint but should provide the ability to detect an independent variable effect (Christensen, 1991: 372). Williamson (1982:113) comments on the sample size as being a phase of research, which is crucial because of its major impact on time and money that must go into data collection.

While selecting the sample size of the study; the researcher purposely selected two respondents particularly; representing all staff members. Data is collected from selected respondents from the study population.
