Taiwan is one of the most dynamic economies in the region, driven largely by industrial manufacturing, and especially exports of electronics, such as semiconductors, machinery, and petrochemicals. This heavy dependence on exports exposes some volatility in the economy due to fluctuations in global demand, such as increasing competition with China.
In the Visegrad countries, online sales increased generally by double-digit growth in the last 5 years. The research examines how the changing processes affected by the pandemic and consequently the macroeconomic environments and the distributors were confined because of the restrictions and lockdown of borders. It is observed that many traders moved toward the direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategy, so one of the research questions is how consumers could use the Internet for satysfing their needs. The pandemic has accelerated the changes in the value chains, and distribution channels, so the paper analyses how companies transformed their commercial models to omnichannel form. One of the other research questions is to determine the strength of the relationship between e-commerce’s gaining ground and the pandemic restriction in Visegrad countries. The role of innovation in the commercial branch, which have resulted in a more effective way, particularly disruptive technologies is stressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
