The Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the business community. Some firms may be hurt more than others, but everyone needs to mitigate this risk. During the pandemic, we had no choice other than to work virtually. As mergers and acquisitions are crucial and strictly confidential, effective sustainable management practices are required. To avoid missing out on possibilities, today’s M&A activity requires decision-makers to make proper choices confidently and quickly. This necessitates clarity and a thorough grasp of the transaction, both of which are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain as the deal-making environment becomes more complex. In the present paper, the author, on the basis of extant literature, has spoken about the effects of Covid-19 and digitalisation on management practice during mergers and acquisitions. Both positive and negative impacts are shared. He opines that during the current era of rapid digitalisation, companies need to adapt to changes and sustainable management practices should be extensively used to be prepared for future uncertainties.
