新冠肺炎危机对中小企业业务风险认知的影响

该研究的目的是评估COVID-19危机对中小企业部分企业家对所选商业风险态度的影响，共有1502家中小企业参与了研究，其中822家企业在COVID-19危机前提供了他们对商业风险的回答，680家企业在COVID-19危机期间在捷克和斯洛伐克的商业环境中提供了他们对商业风险的回答。捷克中小企业认为市场、金融和人员风险是三个最重要的商业风险。在统计上证实了中小企业态度的差异，基于提供响应的时间，在对财务和人员风险的看法上最为明显，在2019冠状病毒病危机之前，捷克共和国的35.7%中小企业和斯洛伐克的35.3%中小企业将金融风险视为最重要的三大商业风险之一。在危机期间，这一比例变为53.6%，捷克共和国的中小企业和斯洛伐克的59.7%。高达67.8%的捷克中小企业和62.8%的斯洛伐克中小企业认为人事风险是三大最重要的商业风险之一，在危机期间，捷克共和国只有27.2%，斯洛伐克只有29.4%©2020，社会学研究中心版权所有
