Abstract

The health and economic crisis caused by Covid-19 is undoubtedly one of the most serious and dramatic crises our globe has experienced to date. This pandemic has disrupted all economies, impacting advanced and developing countries and creating an unstable and uncertain environment. Morocco is no exception as it tries to endure the negative repercussions of the measures taken to limit the harmful effects. It must not be denied that this crisis had positive points such as the acceleration of the digital transformation of organizations moving from a Morocco 1.0 to a Morocco 4.0. Various organizations, including the Social and Solidarity Economy, in particular cooperatives, have tried to adapt to the new context while opting for teleworking to ensure the continuity of their business, for selling and buying online, for e-learning, etc. To answer the following problem: What is the impact of the digital transition on cooperatives in the era of covid-19", we will opt for a conceptual literature where we will try to define the concept of digital transition, as well as that of the social and solidarity economy, more particularly one of its main components "cooperatives" which are the subject of our study, to end up highlighting the benefits and limits of digital on this form of social enterprise.
