Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify both positive and negative changes that have taken place in the economy to digitize the Polish economy and society during the coronavirus pandemic. Different sectors of the economy, which differ in their degree of vulnerability to digital transformation, have been analyzed in detail. The main research question is to evaluate the changes, both positive and negative, that have occurred in the economy. One of the positive effects of innovation is greater quality of work, better production outcomes, and overall economic growth. The phenomenon of introducing new technologies may become a stimulus to include Poland among the most digitally developed economies within Europe. Digitalization can also be an opportunity to dominate the global economy, but the whole process mainly concerns only large companies, because only they have the financial capacity to make changes. Small businesses are now said to be marginalized and run-on traditional principles. In addition, the digitization process during the COVID-19 pandemic affects all members of society, including children in schools, which can also be a problem due to the financial capacity of many parents in Poland.
