Background of the Study
Globalization refers to the process of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of markets, economies, and cultures across borders. It offers both challenges and opportunities for businesses, impacting their operations, market strategies, and performance. For companies like MTN Nigeria, which operates in the telecommunications industry, globalization has opened up new avenues for expansion and competition (Adegbite & Yusuf, 2023).
In recent years, MTN Nigeria has faced both increased competition from local and international telecom companies and opportunities to diversify its services to a larger market. Globalization has led to technological advancements, shifts in consumer behavior, and changes in market dynamics, all of which influence the company’s performance (Obi & Salisu, 2024). This study assesses the impact of globalization on the business performance of MTN Nigeria, specifically in Sokoto State, where market dynamics and customer demands may differ from other regions.
Statement of the Problem
While globalization has opened up new business opportunities for MTN Nigeria, it also brings challenges such as increased competition, regulatory changes, and the need for rapid adaptation to new technologies. The company’s performance in Sokoto State may be influenced by these global shifts, but the specific impact on local operations remains unclear (Eze & Hassan, 2023). Understanding these dynamics is vital for MTN to maintain its competitive edge in an increasingly globalized market.
This research aims to fill the gap in literature concerning the impact of globalization on MTN Nigeria’s business performance in Sokoto State, providing valuable insights for management and policymakers.
