Abstract
This paper, Digital Technologies and Information-Based Enterprise Development in Nigerian Breweries, examines the role of digital technologies in enhancing the growth and performance of modern enterprises. The study explores how digital tools such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and digital communication systems contribute to improving productivity, communication, decision-making, innovation, and overall business efficiency in information-based enterprises. A descriptive research design was adopted, using secondary data obtained from textbooks, journal articles, and other relevant publications. The data were analysed using qualitative descriptive analysis aligned with the study's objectives. The findings reveal that digital technologies significantly improve operational efficiency by automating business processes and enabling faster access to information. They also enhance communication and support data-driven decision-making, which leads to better business outcomes. Furthermore, the study shows that digital technologies promote competitiveness and innovation by enabling enterprises to expand their markets and improve customer satisfaction through digital platforms. However, challenges such as cybersecurity threats, high implementation costs, lack of digital skills, and resistance to technological change continue to hinder effective adoption in many enterprises. The study concludes that digital technologies are essential for the development of information-based enterprises and long-term business sustainability. It recommends increased investment in digital infrastructure, employee training, cybersecurity measures, and strategic planning to ensure successful digital transformation.
