Abstract
Description
Modem business presents different experiences for different people as well as for different classes in all sociocultural
environments. As e-business creates possible openings for business, it also raises some issues especially
when evaluated in the light of current global happenings. While a few of these issues are technically determined,
others affect economic, political, cultural and socio-demographic compositions of human society. This paper
undertakes a systematic analysis and exploration of the socio-cultural and demographic issues in the
environment within which e-business takes place in Nigeria. It considers the emergence of e-business and then
raises socio-cultural issues such as mode of production, economic structure, norms/legal/security issues and
beliefs as well as demographic issues including size of population, spatial distribution, age and sex composition
and components of population dynamics (fertility, mortality, migration) as enhancing and inhibiting factors
engendering conflict in e-business promotion. Finally, it proffers solutions to the inherent conflicts arising from
these inhibitive tendencies
