Abstract
Within the last decade, there has been a global increase in the use of e-business by both large and small companies. Today, it is generally acknowledged that e-business provides a range of opportunities for small businesses to operate and compete effectively; however, in developing countries such as Nigeria, there is very limited research on e-business adoption in the small business sector. This paper reviews existing literature on e-business adoption in developing countries, identifies key issues impacting upon e-business adoption and examines the use of e-business in four Nigerian small businesses using existing analytical models. The results indicate that Small Business Enterprises in Nigeria are indeed benefitting from e-business deployment, and key influencing factors affecting e-business adoption are identified. The study also concludes that different processes in different companies are affected by e-business, but that it is the customer facing processes in the main that have gained most from the adoption of e-business.
