This research explored this assumption by testing whether the use of project management and IT skills have a positive affect on business total sales and profitability. The research data was drawn from two longitudinal Government surveys of small to medium enterprises in Australia. Models were created to describe the relationship between project management, IT skills, profitability and total sales using multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression. The results show that when controlling for the influence of other business skills, project management and IT skills have a significant positive influence on sales and profitability. Keywords: Project management; Information technology; Small to medium enterprise; Profitability; Sales; Business skills1.Introduction It is a basic and fundamental assumption that developing business skills in your employees improves the profitability of your business. Although it may be difficult to test each step in the long and diffuse causal chain from an improved employee skill set to a better bottom line, the link between developing employee capability and improved company performance is typically taken as so obvious that it is rarely questioned. This assumption is held for skills such as the ability to manage projects, where it is taken for granted that using project management to reach strategic and operational objectives improves performance.
