It\u2019s time for a social reset.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Many people are saying that COVID-19 has created a \u2018new normal.\u2019 I admit that when I first heard the phrase, I didn\u2019t know what it meant. I\u2019m still not sure I do, as the ground keeps shifting beneath me. But as I reflect on the recent past, the present, and the future, the \u2018new normal\u2019 seems to be coming into sharper focus. I predict that businesses will become much more productive \u2013 which may be good for business, but maybe not for society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Recent Past: The Economic Pause<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In March 2020, the world seemed to stand still. An unknown killer, called COVID-19, ravaged communities around the world. People stayed home from work, kids stayed home from school, and travel stalled. Essential workers and medical staff formed the \u2018front line\u2019 against the enemy. Everything paused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Many commentators called this the \u2018new normal.\u2019 But, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder, \u201cReally?\u201d Surely, economic activity couldn\u2019t stop forever? We would eventually run out of the things we need and people would need a source of income \u2014 beyond the government cheques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Present: Stop and Go<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s now been four months, and the pause button is being slowly released. Many businesses and physical spaces are opening up, and some are even shutting back down, as COVID-19 reasserts itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, is this the \u2018new normal\u2019? People returning to crippled businesses, which have turned on but remain ready to turn off if needed. Surely not, as eventually we will either figure out the norms of social distancing or have found a vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Future: Winners and Losers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As I look forward, I think I finally see the \u2018new normal\u2019 emerging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Many people recognize that digital technologies are accelerating in order to fill the gaps created by physical distancing. And, the stock market is rewarding the move to digital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Investors are seeing a bright future for digital tech companies, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.businessinsider.com\/news\/stocks\/facebook-apple-amazon-netflix-faang-stock-prices-record-high-rally-2020-7-1029373895\">FAANG<\/a>,<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> and on-line retailers, such as Shopify. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theice.com\/fangplus\">NYSE FANG+ Index<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> is breaking records, even though a higher percentage of people are unemployed now in the US than at any time since the Great Depression of the 1930s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As commercial and retail spaces remain half empty on Main Street and High Street, digital tech companies are surging on Wall Street and The City. Amazon is replacing shops, Netflix is replacing cinema, and Facebook is replacing newspapers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tech companies are dominating the economy and changing the way that we work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The New Normal \u2013 Cheaper, Faster, Global<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In early July, I started the day by giving a talk for a UK audience and ended the day at 7:30 pm with a talk for an Australian audience. Between those talks, I met virtually with people in Rotterdam and Toronto, and physically with my contractor in my front yard. I did in one day what would have previously taken one week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, I think the \u2018new normal\u2019 is what scholar David Harvey calls \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mEoqNdc3BCs\">time-space compression<\/a>\u201d in his 1989 book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-ca\/The+Condition+of+Postmodernity%3A+An+Enquiry+into+the+Origins+of+Cultural+Change-p-9780631162940\">The Condition of Postmodernity<\/a>. Harvey argued that communication and transportation technologies were making the economy faster and the world smaller. People could do more within the same period of time and across a bigger space than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Even 7 years ago, when I argued that sustainability was being hampered by time-space compression in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7skYYIOAVnk\">TEDx talk <\/a>, I did not fully envision the future in front of us. In fact, I didn\u2019t even see it fully in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbs.net\/articles\/from-timas-desk-going-fast-by-going-slow\">February 25, 2020 post<\/a> about the need to slow down, when COVID-19 was at the front door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The move to digital will increase productivity. Twitter and Facebook announced that employees can now work at home permanently \u2013 these companies save office space, their employees save time. The economy becomes faster, more efficient, and more global.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But, there\u2019s a cost. With higher productivity comes less employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I can already see this happening with higher education. Faculty members worldwide are being forced to post lectures and videos online. Only months ago, I had a captive live audience in my classroom; I now have a virtual audience that gives me global reach, but puts me in direct competition with professors from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT. It\u2019s good for students, whose choices have widened. It\u2019s not so good for faculty members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anand.ly\/\">Anand Giridharadas<\/a> memes: the winners are taking all. There will be fewer business schools, fewer faculty members and staff, and yet more students. That leaves more money for the universities that remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dystopia or Utopia?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Is this a dystopic future? It could be, unless civil society actively discusses the future we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The idea of \u2018building back better\u2019 from COVID-19 is admirable. But is it happening?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/public-sector\/our-insights\/the-10-trillion-dollar-rescue-how-governments-can-deliver-impact\">McKinsey report<\/a>, government spending in the wake of COVID-19 was more than three times larger than that spent in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Yet the Institute of International Finance reported that only 1% of the $11 trillion in stimulus money worldwide is dedicated to the green economy. That\u2019s disappointing: governments squandered an opportunity for a green shift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, let\u2019s talk about a social shift. Civil society, business and governments need to collectively engage in a dialogue not just about minimum wage and minimum basic income, but maximum work hours. By spreading hours of work, more people can join the economy and share in leisure activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We are at an inflection point. We need to decide if we want economic wealth to be distributed among the many or the few. The \u2018new normal\u2019 favors the few. I argue that the few cannot be successful or happy, if we don\u2019t collectively care for the many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX); and Alphabet (GOOG) (formerly known as Google).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Ten heavily-traded, growth-oriented tech and media companies that include FAANG and 5 others.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Blogger: Dr.\u00a0Tima Bansal\u00a0is a professor at the Ivey Business School.
