The e-commerce sector has experienced significant growth in the past two decades, outpacing other economic sectors and contributing to sustainable consumption, increased labour productivity, competitiveness, consumer incomes, and GDP growth. This trend is expected to continue, making e-commerce a key driver of sustainable economic growth in Europe. This study aims to explore the relationship between a nation’s innovation level and its population’s inclination towards online shopping in various EU member states. It hypothesizes that higher innovation levels within a country lead to a greater tendency for online purchases. This study conducts a thorough analysis of the interplay between European economies’ innovation levels and the e-commerce market’s evolution. A composite innovation index was created using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methodology, and panel data models were utilized to examine the dependencies, with data from Eurostat and the Global Innovation Index. The focus is on the period from 2019 to 2021, which was marked by unique market dynamics and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings confirm the significant role of innovation in driving e-commerce expansion within the context of sustainable consumption, supporting the main hypothesis. This research also highlights the pandemic’s positive effect on the e-commerce sector. The pandemic-induced changes in consumer behaviour, particularly due to social isolation and crises in certain economic sectors, have emphasized the importance of online shopping. Notably, the most active online shoppers are identified in the 25 to 54 age group, revealing a key demographic trend.

“…These programmes are, in most cases, not easy to find and with the low literacy levels in Nigeria, HUs may not have the skills and knowledge to find these programmes. If these programmes are found, they are, in most cases, not comprehensive enough, and do not include all relevant security issues [6], and furthermore, a security illiterate person will not know of the need to search for these awareness programmes online, particularly as personal information security may not be an overly important issue for Nigerians [22,23]. From the discussion above, it is concluded that an awareness programme should be able to perform the following functions:…”

“…In fact, numerous business organizations throughout the world have had data breaches that resulted in data loss or destruction, legal liability, a decline in customer trust, or monetary losses. [1,2] Defects in data security and privacy can have a lasting negative impact on an organization's finance, not to mention its reputation, credibility, and relationships with its customers. Organizations (especially public organizations) must make sure that all data are safeguarded from unauthorized users in order to ensure operational efficiency and consistently meet the demands of the teeming public.…”

The need to protect data of government parastatals from unauthorized access and breaches necessitated this study. The study ascertained the utilization of strategies for ensuring the security of data in government parastatals in Abia State. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. The study adopted survey research design, with a population of 351 data managers in government parastatals studied without sampling. A-14 item structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The face and content validity of the instrument was determined using four experts while the reliability was established using pilot-test and data obtained calculated using Cronbach Alpha formula which yielded correlation coefficient of .87. Descriptive mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research question while ANOVA was used to test the null hypothesis at .05 significant level. Findings revealed that office employees in government parastatals in Abia State utilize network control strategy to a low extent in ensuring security of data. Years of working experience of data managers did not significantly influence their mean responses in this regard. Hence, the researchers concluded that more training/re-training of office staff is needed on how to utilize network control strategy to ensure effective security of data in government parastatals in Abia State. It was recommended among others that; management of government parastatals in Abia State should organize regular data security training workshops for all their office staff to enable them up-data their skills and competencies in utilizing network control strategy for security of organizations’ data.
