Background of the Study
Digital transformation refers to the integration of digital technologies into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how organizations operate and deliver value to customers. The banking and retail sectors have embraced digital transformation to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and remain competitive in an increasingly digital economy. In Benue State, Access Bank Plc and Jumia Nigeria serve as examples of institutions in the banking and retail sectors, respectively, that have adopted digital transformation strategies. Access Bank, a leading commercial bank, has integrated digital banking platforms such as mobile apps and internet banking to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. Jumia, a prominent online retailer, has leveraged e-commerce platforms, digital marketing, and supply chain technologies to transform retail operations.
This study aims to examine the digital transformation strategies in both sectors and compare how these strategies have influenced the performance and customer satisfaction in Access Bank and Jumia Nigeria. While digitalization in banking focuses on improving financial services and customer interaction, retail digital transformation emphasizes enhancing consumer engagement, product availability, and logistics management. The study will also assess how these transformations affect business sustainability, competitiveness, and market growth in Benue State.
