Coronavirus (covid-19) and

entrepreneurship: changing life and work
landscape
ABSTRACT

The purpose of this commentary article is to focus on how the covid-19 crisis has
affected cultural, lifestyle, and social entrepreneurship. In doing so, I address the
current lack of integration between crisis management, entrepreneurship, and
covid-19 literature. This commentary article systematically synthesizes the
current literature by linking key concepts within crisis management and
entrepreneurship. Covid-19 has had an enormous effect on global society, so this
article is amongst the first from an academic standpoint to examine it from a
cultural, social, and lifestyle entrepreneurship perspective. This enables micro,
macro, and meso environmental effects originating from the covid-19 crisis to be
better understood in terms of the entrepreneurship literature. Currently, the
effects of covid-19 on entrepreneurship remain unexplored so this article
provides a more inclusive and integrative framework.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak is a sharp reminder that pandemics, like other rarely occurring
catastrophes, have happened in the past and will continue to happen in the future. Even if we
cannot prevent dangerous viruses from emerging, we should prepare to dampen their effects on
society. The current outbreak has had severe economic consequences across the globe, and it
does not look like any country will be unaffected. This not only has consequences for the
economy; all of society is affected, which has led to dramatic changes in how businesses act and
consumers behave. This special issue is a global effort to address some of the pandemic-related
issues affecting society. In total, there are 13 papers that cover different industry sectors (e.g.,
tourism, retail, higher education), changes in consumer behavior and businesses, ethical issues,
and aspects related to employees and leadership.

Abstract
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a
pandemic. As the evolution and implications of the
COVID-19 crisis are still unfolding, we posit that exploring the experiences and
strategic responses of Asian countries may shed light on ways to combat COVID-19
for the rest of the world. In this paper, we first articulate the importance of resilience,
strategic agility, and entrepreneurship in the context of the fight against COVID-19.
Then, with the focus on China, South Korea, and Singapore, we discuss the impact
COVID-19 is having on economies and businesses, governmental support for businesses and societies, and
implications for global supply chain disruptions. We hope
that the global health system will recover quickly, and that the world economy will
be revitalized with the contributions and collaboration of science (including social
science), industry, and governments

Abstract
Today’s organizations have to remain alert and adaptive to unforeseen events,
such as external crises, which create increased uncertainty among their
workforce and pose immediate threats to the organizations’ performance and
viability. However, with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, organizations
suddenly have to navigate the unprecedented and thereby find new solutions
to challenges arising across many areas of their operations. In this article, we
discusses some of these challenges, focusing on the implications COVID-19
has for human resource management (HRM) as organizations help their
workforce cope with and adjust to their newly altered work environment. In
addition, we propose several avenues for future research and advocate for an
integrated research agenda for tackling the challenges discussed.

Abstract
The discovery of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the spread of COVID-19
have led many governments to take drastic measures. The lockdown of large
parts of society and economic life has come as an exogenous shock to many
economic actors, not least innovative startups. This rapid response research
combines a qualitative research design informed by entrepreneurial ecosystem
actors with an analysis of policy measures called for, announced, and
reportedly implemented in the international press. Interviews from an
entrepreneurial ecosystem offer a first-hand account of the adversity startups
face during a crisis and how by utilizing bricolage responses they cope, and the
analysis of policy measures can serve as an inspiration to design support
initiatives to protect startups from the consequences of the current lockdown
and to alleviate the effects of future crises.

Managing business relationships during a pandemic: Conducting a

relationship audit and developing a path forward

Abstract
During stable times, firms will generally aim to create reliable B2B
relationships that provide increased efficiency and profitability. However,
tumultuous times, such as the time during a major pandemic, cause many
significant disruptions in both internal and external environmental domains.
Thus, we argue that it is critical during this time to reevaluate the company's
business relationships as a whole. While long-term partnerships are great for
handling incremental changes during stable times, disruptive environmental
changes may require managers to consider disruptive changes to their
businesses. A pandemic may also present opportunities for establishing new
relationships as there may be other partners/suppliers who are better
equipped to help the company address urgent short-term needs and to
capitalize on significant long-term opportunities. In this paper, we design a
new relationship audit template to help B2B firms weather the immediate
crisis at hand and position themselves more strategically for the future. We
explore this idea in relation to the coronavirus outbreak, introduce the idea of
a B2B crisis relationship audit, and offer potential steps forward for firms.

Abstract
Despite the perennial need to understand and manage uncertainty in
international business, there is no comprehensive framework that
incorporates different types of uncertainty, their antecedents and outcomes,
and the different coping strategies used by managers and their outcomes. This
makes it difficult for international business managers to understand the types
of uncertainty in their businesses and develop appropriate strategies to deal
with it effectively, especially during times such as the ongoing Covid-19
pandemic. This paper uses an extensive review of the international business
literature to address the above research gap by identifying the different types
of uncertainty, their antecedents and outcomes, the coping strategies used to
mitigate their impact, and the consequences of these actions. The authors also
use examples from the current Covid-19 crisis to assess the firms’ responses
and their consequences. The paper concludes with some implications for
international business managers and directions for future research.

Strategies for small business: Surviving and

thriving in the era of COVID-19

Eric W. Liguori & Pittz, Thomas G

Pages 106-110 | Published online: 16 Jul 2020

The upheaval caused by the spread of COVID-19 is having a devastating effect

on small businesses. A review of the data on COVID-19’s impact on micro-,
small, and medium-sized enterprises suggests the economic fallout from this
pandemic will get worse for small businesses and their employees before it gets
better. To help combat the negative effects, this article offers practical and
tactical strategies for navigating the uncertainty and risk especially prevalent in
today’s pandemic-filled business environment.
