Abstract

Every organization operates in a specific physical, technological, cultural and social environment to which it must necessarily adapt to be successful. However, despite what is already known, the situation has become even more complicated with the presence of COVID-19, which has harmed most industries. Under this context, the objective of this study focuses on analyzing business adaptation and digital commerce in times of confinement in the financial cooperative sector, for which, the methodology used is based on a quantitative approach, supported by a bibliographic study modality and field. The population was structured by a total of 81 financial institutions to which the designed instrument was applied, which was structured by a total of 27 items under the Likert scale. Among the main findings, it stands out that 90% of the organizations have determined that the response of the institution to the current needs of its external clients during the pandemic has been positive, and in the same way, 73% of the managers of The COACs state that the interest groups that make up the institutions (shareholders, managers, workers, clients, partners, suppliers) have responded positively to the changes brought about by COVID-19, and the incorporation into their management of the use of digital channels related to web pages, WhatsApp service and social networks.
