Because of this, businesses would be equipped with the adequate knowledge and skills to adapt to such change; hence, this study aims to determine how businesses dealt with the transition from their traditional business model to an e-commerce business model, and what made them push for an online business model. A sample of 30 businesses were chosen to serve as the study’s respondents, and the data gathered from them were analyzed through the use of a thematic analysis and a narrative analysis. The study found out that business owners dealt with the transition in various ways such as changing their products, garnering experience, focusing on marketing, and changing their business model gradually. Furthermore, the study also found out that the reasons for businesses to pursue online business were also varying, as some found it as a necessity and others found it as an opportunity.
