Abstract

The impact of the COVID pandemic was not only health-related but also had a significant impact on the way companies operate. Most commonly, the impact of enforced digitalisation can be mentioned, which was dominated by the implementation of enforced remote working. We aim to explore how Hungarian SMEs were facing challenges of the COVID-19 situation and using digital technologies to overcome these challenges, what were the changes which reflected in their operations. To understand the impact of the pandemic and to explore the role of digital technologies in the first part of the research a survey was conducted. 120 companies participated, 58% were SMEs and the rest are enterprises. Data was collected in the third quarter of 2021, more than one year after the emergence of the epidemic in Europe, and by then we had passed the third wave of the epidemic in Hungary.
