Background of the Study
Digital transformation has revolutionized the manufacturing sector by integrating advanced technologies to improve efficiency, enhance productivity, and optimize resource allocation. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics have transformed traditional manufacturing processes, enabling firms to adapt to dynamic market demands (Berman & Marshall, 2023).
Manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State face challenges such as outdated technology, inefficiencies in production processes, and limited competitiveness in the broader market. Digital transformation offers a pathway to address these challenges by fostering operational efficiency and streamlining workflows (Eze et al., 2024).
This study examines the implementation of digital transformation strategies in manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State and their impact on operational efficiency.
Statement of the Problem
Many manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State have yet to embrace digital transformation fully, often relying on traditional methods that hinder operational efficiency. These inefficiencies result in higher production costs, reduced output, and limited competitiveness in an increasingly digital global market (Okonkwo & Bala, 2025).
While some firms have adopted digital tools, the lack of a comprehensive digital strategy undermines their potential benefits. This study investigates the gap in digital transformation adoption and its effects on operational efficiency in manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State.
Objectives of the Study
- To identify the digital transformation strategies adopted by manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State.
- To assess the impact of these strategies on operational efficiency.
- To examine the challenges faced in implementing digital transformation initiatives.
Research Questions
- What digital transformation strategies are used by manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State?
- How do these strategies influence operational efficiency?
- What challenges hinder the adoption of digital transformation in manufacturing firms?
Research Hypotheses
- Digital transformation strategies positively impact operational efficiency.
- Firms with comprehensive digital strategies experience improved productivity.
- Challenges in implementing digital transformation reduce its effectiveness.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on manufacturing firms in Nasarawa State, analyzing their digital transformation strategies and their impact on operational efficiency between 2023 and 2025. Limitations include access to proprietary operational data and varying levels of digital adoption across firms.
Definitions of Terms
