The influence of technological innovations on international business strategy before and during COVID-19 pandemic
Open accessAbstract
In the last two years, the world has gone through an unprecedented change in the most diverse dimensions (social, economic, and even political), leading that society had to adapt very quickly to the contingencies imposed by COVID-19. All organizations (independent of their area of activity) had to adjust their processes to respond, efficiently and effectively, to these constraints. In this context, companies with concerns in internationalization (those that are already internationalized and those in an internationalization process) have had to resort to technologies to support the change in their modus operandi. The digital transformation (until now had an essential role in the transformation of organizations, but which was in a relatively slow implementation process) started to perform, in an accelerated way, the base of work for the heads of the organizations to be able to respond to these challenges. In this context, the transformation of the business model, supported by digital technology, has been documented as one of the strategies used to respond to disruptive environmental changes, particularly technologies that help companies identify new business practices. This study aims to find evidence of the importance of integrating and influencing technological innovations in the practice of international business strategy before and during COVID-19 pandemic. The results show the influence of the digitalization on the business strategies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
