A novel framework is suggested for digital transformation of SMEs. This framework first divides the major activities into layers, analyses the needs of customers, suggests a stage-wise transformation, and provides ample opportunities for development of smart applications. With this approach, SMEs can significantly automate their processes and thus stay relevant in the challenging times that are likely to occur in the post-COVID-19 era. Digital transformation process will pose its own challenges to SMEs as they lack financial resources and skilled workforce. A few suggestions have been made to mitigate such challenges, and then prospects for further work are provided.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128069515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2016 to 2019, small and medium-sized business has most developed in such spheres as services, trade, construction, industrial production, and agriculture. The introduction of strict quarantine measures had a negative impact on the financial condition of all economic sectors; therefore, the most affected industries of the Russian economy have been identified. The chapter considers the positive practices used by SMEs operating in the affected industries such as tourism and hotel business, food service industry, and fitness industry. When the borders were closed and after the lifting of severe restrictions, domestic tourism saw the fastest development. The research that was carried out showed that amid strict isolation, only food service establishments that managed to adopt a new mode of services—connection to aggregators, organization of meals delivery to clients, take-away orders—were able to continue operating.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114491856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) are contributing about 25% of the country's GDP (gross domestic product) from service activities and 33% to the manufacturing amount produced for India. Micro, small, and medium (MSME) entrepreneurs have been highly impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Due to lockdown, MSME sector who could not export, nor get their ancillary parts, had problems with transportation leading to the inability to do marketing. Most important migrant laborers rushed to their villages or natives. Hence, without labor or workforce, the assembly lines stopped. In this chapter, an attempt is made to identify the challenges of the MSME sector and deal with the efforts often taken to restart them.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"12 S9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113978228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tourism competitiveness is diverse, where each destination is enriched with unique resource endowments and strategies to enlighten. Within this notion, the COVID-19 pandemic is an external shock affecting global economies. This chapter applies Porter's diamond model to the tourism sector in Sri Lanka to enhance the competitiveness within the COVID-19 pandemic. A study sample has been derived by prioritizing locked-down areas due to COVID-19 by targeting key stakeholders. Within the light of scholarly works-based diamond model, six facets have been qualitatively discussed. As findings, stakeholders' vulnerability to external shocks is highlighted as the most vital facet. Main recommendations include (1) minimizing economic leakages, (2) destination re-branding, (3) product differentiations, (4) entrepreneurship development, (5) domestic eco-friendly travels, (6) special interest tourism (SIT), and (7) e-promotions.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123536354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study assessed the foundations of CSR activities in Namibian commercial banks using institutional, legitimacy, and stakeholder theories. Overall, governance, brand image, customer loyalty, market competition, and regulatory pre-emption ranked prominently amongst internal and external institutional factors driving CSR in Namibian commercial banks. The study identified various change interventions for commercial banks, like improved CSR reporting, stakeholder engagement, and preferential pricing strategies for vulnerable people in society.

Observation of the response by Australian manufacturers as they pivoted their activities to address shortages of key objects needed during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the value of this sector in the making of objects that are both complex and not so complex. Complex objects have long been revered due to their high value, and non-complex objects are generally less valued. However, non-complex objects have an equally important role to play, as was highlighted when borders and supply chains were disrupted due to the pandemic. This chapter will shed light on how the making of objects both complex and not complex should together be supported to maintain and grow the ability and capacity for a nation to provide for its object-based needs, particularly during difficult times.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129650799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This support can emerge from an ecosystem that allows private, public, and social actors to work together in supporting the development of entrepreneurship because entrepreneurs' efforts result in SMEs. African countries struggle with maintaining a sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem owing to several factors including poor governance systems, dilapidated infrastructure, poor funding systems, and absence of enterprise education. These factors compromise the acclaimed benefits of SMEs, which often experience a short life span. As such, SME performance is considered less than satisfactory. The emergence of COVID-19 has had a further negative impact on this trend. As one can imagine, many businesses today have yet to experience anything close to the upset brought about by the pandemic. There is therefore justification for a concerted interest in how SMEs will bounce back post-COVID-19 in Africa. This chapter focuses on how South African SMEs have fared and their sustainability post COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":335967,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Strategies and Interventions to Mitigate COVID-19 Impact on SMEs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133471780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
