Abstract

Business digitalization is the premise for ensuring the continuity of companies nowadays. The purpose of this research work is to survey the representatives of 120 companies in Romania in order to present the degree of digitalization of businesses in the context of crises, especially the Covid-19 crisis, but also to capture the forecasts for the next 3 years made by economic agents against the backdrop of existing crises. The first objective considers the review of the specialized literature on digitalization, and the second objective is focused on the analysis of the companies in the research sample. The results consist in providing an overview of the companies in Romania in the situation of "forced" digitalization caused by the Covid-19 crisis, but also on the forecasts made by the representatives of these companies. The companies included in the sample were analyzed between January 2023 and October 2023.
