Hundred research participants were selected using simple random sampling by lottery method from ten purposively selected Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Karu local government area of Nasarawa state Nigeria. Questionnaires were used to collect data and were quantitatively analyzed. The study found that SMEs in Karu local government area of Nasarawa state do implement strategic management practices. When these strategic management practices were subjected to the on sample t-test statistics, almost all of the practices proved significant at alpha level of 0.05. However, planning to put the business in the foreseeable years was not significant at the set alpha level.
