The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business operations, prompting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt and invest in pivotal strategies. This study aims to: (1) measure the likelihood of MSMEs adopting and investing in pivotal strategies during the pandemic. (2) identify significant influencing factors, and (3) provide recommendations for MSME recovery. Using secondary data from the Business Impact Survey of Davao Regional Inclusive Innovation Center and Multinomial Logistic Regression on 107 samples, findings show that MSMEs structured as corporations are 26.9% more likely to adopt and invest in pivotal strategies compared to sole properties (p=0.28). for the adopt only outcome, partnerships decrease the likelihood by 23.1%, informal lenders reduce it by 33%, while supplier credit and decreased sales by over 50% increase it by 18.5% and 33.7%, respectively. In the invest only outcome, male owner-managers are 13.7% more likely to invest solely, and each additional year of firm age increases this probability by 1.1%. Corporations are 22.2% less likely to invest only, but customer purchase difficulties due to products’ unavailability and maintained sales increase this likelihood by 25.8% and 2.6%, respectively. Key factors influencing sole adoption include partnerships, informal lenders, supplier credit, and decreased sales by more than 50%. Partnerships and informal lenders negatively influence sole adoption. Gender firm age, and customer difficulties positively influence it. The study recommends targeted financial aid, enhanced digital infrastructure, and specialized training programs for the MSME sector. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers supporting MSME recovery and growth.
