Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The researchers adopted a census sampling technique since all the respondents in the study were used for the study. A total of 92 Business Educators were selected from four tertiary institutions such as university of Calabar, Calabar, Cross River University of Technology, Calabar, College of Education Akmapka and Federal College of Education Obudu.

The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Simple percentages, bar graphs and means score) and the result concluded that new technologies for the delivery of business education content in tertiary institutions in Cross River State are inadequate. Based on this, it was recommended among others things that administrators of tertiary institutions should ensure that these new technologies are provided to aid in effective delivery of business education content in line with the emerging trends in the global market and that the Heads of department should ensure teachers utilize various new technologies that can facilitate acquisition of globally recognized skills among students.
