Information technology is an area of managing and employing
technology into production activities of an organization in order to achieve
high productivity. The role of information technology cannot be out aside
because it contributes to economic activities through increase in aggregate
productivity which will cause improvement on economic growth and development.
IT is the bedrock for organization and national survival and development on a
rapidly changing global environment.  Adewoye
and Akanbi( 1999) stated that ICT is a complex and heterogeneous set of goods,
application and services used to produce, distribute, process and transform
information.Technological development have
changed the majority of wealth creating work from physical effort based to
knowledge effort based and enable micro-businessenterprises to know the value
of IT to their firms by offering business opportunities over competitors in the
market. For a micro-business to survive in the global competition or market, the
firm must improve and acquired IT skills in the production processes so as to
achieve high rate and improvement on workers’ productivity. Productivity is a
measure of the efficiency of production. Employing IT into production
activities will enhanced increase in workers’ and economic productivity, the
upward shift of aggregate economic productivity will leads to increase in gross
domestic product.Micro-businessplays a crucial
role in economic activities and development of a nation. Economic literature
shows that IT is important driver of productivity and growth. Pollard claims
that micro-business would need high quality IT and must always provide superior
value product better than competitor, when it comes to quality, price and
service. Using of IT by micro-business enhance expansion and enable small and
medium enterprises to compete with multinational enterprises. In a
technological environment enterprise (Multinational, and SMEs) make efficiently
and effectively utilize economical resources by producing standard technology
goods and services, transform human effort and economic resources to produce
the market needs.Experiences from practices of Businesses
over the world and hypotheses derived from institutional economics and the
theory of collective action, as observed by( Manmood and Man, 2008;Oladejo and
Yinus,2013), suggest that taking advantage of Information Technology diffusion
is possible for business organization and adoption of IT can provide
organization with valuable information, improved performance, improve
relationships with customers and suppliers, increase efficiency and reduce cost
of production among others. Evidence also shows that full-size business organization
has taken the opportunity of IT to gain the edge over their competitors unlike
the micro-business.Nigeria
government should provide technical environment to support and help
multinational enterprises and micro-business to better use of IT and increase
the country’s productivity, growth and development through investment in IT.Managers
now realize that information technology can be used as an engine to speed up
processes, eliminate or reduce paperwork, increase the quality of output and
service delivery, decrease storage costs, and enhance information sharing and
communication. They also realize that they have to achieve not only management
/ staff wide computer literacy, i.e. knowing how to locate, analyze, store and
use information. All staff in modern organizations needs to be able to search
and gather data from different sources, analyze them, select the relevant ones
and organize them in such a manner as to allow them make decisions based on the
information. These being the case how is Nigerian micro-business Enterprises
faring in joining the information technology? What is the micro-business doing
to increase their productivity and efficiency through the use of IT? What
constraints or challenges are organizations facing in overhauling their
management? In what ways exactly is ICT infrastructure enhancing efficiency in
the Nigerian micro-business? These and related questions structure and the
argument of this study
