COVID-19 shook the global economy, companies, and people. Digitalization helps many companies withstand the pandemic. This study examines how digital transformation (DT) process affect modern technologies like Big Data Analytics (BDA) and blockchain technology (BCT). Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), 313 managers from SMEs in Mozambique were surveyed. The findings show that DT boosts BDA. However, DT does not impact BCT. The research suggests that new working patterns will boost talent demand irrespective of location. Incorporating BDA and BCT into manufacturing operations improves business processes and organizational management.
