Project Abstract

ABSTRACT This research aims to investigate the impact of introducing computers into business organizations in Nigeria, with a specific case study of Golden Investment in Enugu. The study seeks to explore how the integration of computer technology has influenced various aspects of business operations, including efficiency, productivity, communication, decision-making, and overall performance. The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Qualitative data will be gathered through interviews with employees at Golden Investment to understand their perceptions, experiences, and challenges related to the introduction of computers in the workplace. On the other hand, quantitative data will be collected through surveys and data analysis of business performance metrics before and after the computer integration. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of computer technology in Nigerian business organizations. By focusing on a specific case study like Golden Investment, the research aims to offer practical recommendations and strategies for other businesses looking to implement computer systems or enhance their existing technological infrastructure. Overall, this research seeks to contribute to the existing literature on the role of computers in business organizations, particularly in the context of developing countries like Nigeria. The study will not only shed light on the effects of computerization on organizational processes and outcomes but also provide a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic implications of technological advancements in the Nigerian business landscape. The implications of this research are significant for business managers, policymakers, and technology providers seeking to leverage computer technology for business growth and development in Nigeria. By identifying both the positive and negative consequences of computer integration, the study aims to inform strategic decision-making and facilitate the successful implementation of technology-driven initiatives in Nigerian organizations. Ultimately, the research aspires to contribute to the advancement of the business sector in Nigeria and foster a culture of innovation and competitiveness through the effective use of computer technology in the workplace.

Project Overview

  The introduction of computer-based system produces the most recent and existing of all revolutionary technical advances, its profound impact in our daily lives and on the business communicated all imagination.

  In our professional lives the computer is an integral tool in the performance of many jobs. Managers for instance use the package of word processing software to compose memos and spellings checking grammar and style.

    However, in the development of this century there has been an increased emphasis on the need for the introduction of the computer-based management.

  In the past, corporation has failed to see the need for such a system. Organizations especially inNigeriais slow to appreciate these benefits, which such a system could yield.

    However, the gradual introduction of computer into organization is general and particularly for administrative purpose could be attributed to the following reasons.

  Firstly, Top-level mangers have been involved in the negotiations and agreements cover the introduction and use of computer-based technique in their organization.
