DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND POST PANDEMIC GROWTH FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
The Covid 19 pandemic has affected all sectors of society and the economy. The micro, small and medium sector is one of these sectors that has been negatively affected by this pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. Large industries are less affected by this pandemic because they have the best recovery and growth strategies, are financially sustainable, and most importantly, have improved and innovative digital technologies.

This pandemic presents opportunities for companies that are digitally strong and adopt digital technologies. The objective of this research is to discover the different types of evolution and recovery strategies used by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises as a result of digital transformation.
