THE EVOLUTION OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN SMES IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN THE DIFFERENT BLOCKS OF THE BM CANVAS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC

Original language description

Purpose - The following article focuses on assessment of the evolution of digital transformation in SMEs in the manufacturing industry since the beginning of the pandemic. The digital transformation is assessed in the different blocks of the BM Canvas. The main ob-jective of the paper is to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the development of digital transformation, and to assess whether it is still influencing it now, or vice versa, or no longer has such an impact. Research methodology - The digital transformation is examined in each block of the Business Model Canvas (BM Canvas) from the beginning of the pandemic to the current state. The in-dividual data is obtained from a survey conducted among 18 SMEs. Small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry are examined. The survey is based on semi-struc-tured interviews with SME ' s management representatives. The collected data is then pro-cessed by examining the average rate of digital transformation in each block, the modus, and the median. The focus was again on developments and changes in the digital transformation of enterprises. The data was collected for three periods - before the pandemic (2019), during the pandemic (2021) and now (July 2022). Findings - The paper shows the evolution of digital transformation in the different building blocks of the BM Canvas for SMEs in the manufacturing industry since the beginning of the pandemic. The evolution of digital transformation varies across the BM Canvas blocks. For the Channels block, as of July 2022, there has been a decrease in the average digital transformation rate. The other blocks have seen an increase and continue to develop. However, the increases are no longer as high as in 2021. Whether digital transformation will continue to develop for individual blocks in future periods is a suitable research question for further research. The find-ings show that the changes and developments vary from building block to building block. It was fou
