Abstract: During the COVID-19, micro, small, and medium-scale business organisations have suffered economic fragility. Apart from lockdown, social distancing and the traditional style of the business process are the factors that affect the business organisation. A business organisation utilising e-adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, etc., have survived well in the market and achieved high-profit gain. In this paper, we explore the challenges of traditional business organisations. Traditional business organisation frameworks based on 4P: people, process, product and profit are based on manual processes and away from emerging technologies. The proposed organisational framework revolutionised traditional business practices and enhanced productivity, efficiency, and customer retention. People can connect and access business organisations with end-user devices such as smartphones, desktops, laptops, and other hand-held devices.
