We\u2019ve already observed major shifts in business practices. Working from home is the new norm, while many personal meetings and conferences have been replaced by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/03\/infographic-apps-pandemic-technology-data-coronavirus-covid19-tech\">video meetings and other virtual forms of communication<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/the-coronavirus-is-changing-how-we-work-possibly-permanently-134344\"><strong><em>The coronavirus is changing how we work \u2014 possibly permanently<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some businesses \u2014 especially restaurants,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/business\/2020\/03\/31\/the-coronavirus-may-sink-the-cruise-ship-business\">tourism operators<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2020\/03\/09\/coronavirus-china-box-office-movie\/\">movie theatres<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 have come to a complete stop.

Around the world, we see examples of resourceful responses to the crisis: Distilleries in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.anheuser-busch.com\/newsroom\/2020\/03\/anheuser-busch-will-redirect-sports-entertainment-investments.html\">United States<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/health\/coronavirus\/distilleries-across-canada-fight-covid-19-by-making-hand-sanitizer-1.4867110\">Canada<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-sanitiser\/australian-brewers-swap-cleansing-ale-for-sanitizer-in-coronavirus-fight-idUSKBN21H0H1\">Australia<\/a>\u00a0started to produce hand sanitizers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Fashion businesses like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/news\/business\/2020\/0323\/1124831-inditex-help-offer\/\">Zara<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/uk-health-coronavirus-h-m-protective-gea-idUKKBN2190RE\">H&amp;M<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90480732\/this-high-end-apron-company-switched-to-manufacturing-masks-in-24-hours\">Hedley &amp; Bennett<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faz.net\/aktuell\/technik-motor\/technik\/mundschutz-gegen-corona-so-stellt-trigema-masken-her-16702640.html\">Trigema<\/a>\u00a0are producing protective gear, gowns and other supplies for hospitals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2020\/04\/01\/business\/bc-virus-outbreak-retraining-airline-staff.html\">Airline crews, including those employed by SAS, are being retrained to help out in hospitals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/business\/2020\/03\/19\/companies-are-scrambling-to-build-more-ventilators\">shortage of ventilators in hospital intensive-care units<\/a>\u00a0has not only motivated health-care companies such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.philips.com\/a-w\/about\/news\/archive\/standard\/news\/press\/2020\/20190322-philips-ramps-up-production-of-critical-health-technology-products-in-response-to-covid-19-pandemic.html\">Philips<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg-news.hamburg\/en\/health-life-sciences\/companies-going-great-extra-effort-amid-corona\/\">Draeger<\/a>\u00a0to increase production, but also triggered\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/business.financialpost.com\/transportation\/autos\/canadian-auto-parts-makers-team-up-to-build-ventilators-with-three-companies\">Canadian automotive suppliers<\/a>\u00a0and car brands\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/03\/24\/ford-and-3m-ge-and-the-uaw-to-build-respirators-ventilators-and-faceshields-for-coronavirus-fight\/\">like Ford<\/a>\u00a0to produce the life-saving medical devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These examples show two common features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First, companies are showing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5840\/beq200515329\"><em>citizenship<\/em><\/a>. They realize they have an interest in societal well-being, and that they may need to give up short-term profits for the benefit of society. Second, they are showing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/9781118785317.weom030031\"><em>resourcefulness<\/em><\/a>. They\u2019re developing creative responses to emerging challenges with scarce resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In combination, citizenship and resourcefulness can drive socially aware entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Building foundations for the future<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Actions during the crisis will shape firms in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.aib.msu.edu\/publications\/insights\/archive\/insights_v009n02.pdf\">crisis creates opportunities for businesses<\/a>\u00a0to become more innovative. Facing external pressures, some business leaders are stepping out of their routines and comfort zones to become creative problem-solvers. Along the way, they rediscover their entrepreneurial spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some will continue to pursue opportunities first identified during the crisis. Perhaps some automotive suppliers will make medical equipment, while service providers integrate new online interfaces with their traditional businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Second, reputations are built \u2014 and lost \u2014 during times of crisis. Companies demonstrating good citizenship by helping with shortages, or by making major donations, are also probably hoping that consumers will remember their actions when the economy returns to normal. What\u2019s more, treating employees well during a time of hardship enhances a company\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/13620430410550754\">reputation as an employer<\/a>\u00a0and helps attract talent as well as building a loyal workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On the other hand, there are also a lot of opportunities to ruin a reputation. Companies that treat their employees or customers badly during a crisis will face major challenges rebuilding when the storm has passed. Similarly, if corporate behemoths like Amazon\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sueddeutsche.de\/wirtschaft\/corona-handel-online-amazon-1.4859494\">fail to provide reliable logistics solutions to small businesses right now<\/a>, then others will develop competing platforms. Those new platforms will not only enable buyers and sellers to meet, but will also integrate service providers to transport products in a timely and reliable manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Technology push<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Beyond existing firms, some sectors of the economy are likely to grow. New technologies can offer numerous opportunities as the crisis transforms the products or services they can offer.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ceibs.edu\/new-papers-columns\/how-reshape-epidemic-hit-service-sector\">Service businesses in particular are likely to see a lot of innovation in how services are created, packaged and sold<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Recent trends in China offer a glimpse of what is feasible for businesses. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/economy\/china-economy\/article\/3078629\/coronavirus-supercharges-china-digitalisation-stay-home\">online shopping and entertainment received a major boost<\/a>\u00a0during the coronavirus shutdown via online platforms like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1526128\/the-alibaba-ecosystem-is-a-conglomerate-on-its-own-terms\/\">Alibaba<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digital.hbs.edu\/innovation-disruption\/wechat%E2%80%8A-%E2%80%8Athe-one-app-rules\/\">Wechat<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bmvh29.ust.hk\/mgmt\/files\/staff\/papers\/JT\/JIBS_2019_Aug_earlyview_Ecosystem-specific.pdf\">their associated ecosystems<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/business\/article\/3076180\/chinas-big-tech-companies-are-using-their-roles-fighting-worlds-largest\">In the health-care sector<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcareitnews.com\/news\/coronavirus-outbreak-triggers-wave-apps-online-tools-diagnosis-testing\">health-related smartphone apps<\/a>\u00a0are proliferating in China \u2014 and possibly soon globally.

For example, whoever builds the most reliable and speedy logistics infrastructure for delivering goods to private homes during the lockdown is likely to gain loyal customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Consumer pull<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Customers \u2014 both individual consumers and businesses \u2014 are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/article-could-social-distancing-create-a-long-term-shift-for-the-grocery\/\">becoming accustomed to new forms of business<\/a>, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welt.de\/wirtschaft\/article206994399\/Corona-und-die-Folgen-Durchbruch-fuer-den-Lebensmittel-Onlinehandel.html\">online ordering for home delivery<\/a>. Their established habits have been disrupted, changing attitudes and expectations. For example, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/recode\/2020\/3\/11\/21173449\/microsoft-google-zoom-slack-increased-demand-free-work-from-home-software\">surge in video meetings<\/a>\u00a0creates comfort with this method of interaction, and users learn how to be effective in meetings without face-to-face interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After the shutdown, many people will expect more integration of online and offline offerings. They will likely also be more at ease with using new technologies, especially video conferencing that can also reduce travel costs and carbon emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/coronavirus-and-the-economy-we-need-green-stimulus-not-fossil-fuel-bailouts-133492\"><strong><em>Coronavirus and the economy: We need green stimulus not fossil fuel bailouts<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s clear the post-pandemic future will be different.
