The recent economic and social changes caused by the crisis generated by the new coronavirus demonstrate the adaptability of the business environment to radical and sudden changes. Some companies are able either to adapt themselves harder or leave the market, still, others manage to reinvent themselves quickly, through managerial strategies often adopted along the way. Is this a metaverse business model? Or should such situations be better anticipated and prepared?
While governments and international institutions are looking for solutions to support companies, workers and communities, firms need to identify new business models, reinventing their personnel policy and even repositioning themselves into the new digitized environment. Even business models take on new dimensions.
On the other hand, current global developments have shown, once more, that the business pattern related to technology must remain the key of development and recovery.
Is it a historical moment in the business world and the companies’ behaviour? Does this illustrate a fresh start in tourism?
The main topics covered by the hereby call for papers are related to:
Fostering business recovery
Metaverse business models
The business pattern related to technology
The impact of digitalization on business
The metaverse concept beyond entertainment
Change, globalization and recovery in business
Fostering strategies for managing structural changes
Business and Education recovery
Business recovery systems and methods
Developing tourism communities through digitalization
Planning recovery within a tourism community context
