Abstract

The emergence of coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused us to reconsider our everyday lives around the world. While the ability to work from home is an advantage to many workers, other businesses lack the foundation of the technological infrastructure to give the capacity of “business as usual” without some compromises. The goal of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework on digital transformations antecedents of global workplaces and organizations post-pandemic outbreak. The study emphasized that the most effective transformations point to four antecedents; smart capital allocation for digital initiatives, engagement of appropriate digital tools, talent recruitment, and brand permission. The study concluded that the global pandemic has created a whole new experience for businesses and organizations around the world. Therefore, business executives cannot sit on their laurels any longer and they cannot put off a digital transformation organizational focus. Henceforth, taking the right decisions today would help ensure that businesses are better placed after the pandemic is over.
