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 sustainable 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 geopolitical developments have shown, once more, that the business pattern related to technology must remain the key of development and recovery.
Are technological and geopolitical cycles changing the economy and the business environment?
Does this illustrate a fresh start in tourism?
The main topics covered by the hereby call for papers are related to:
- Business sustainability under the conditions of technological and geopolitical uncertainty
- The business environment in the era of rapid technological and geopolitical change
- Sustainability and managing threats from the business environment
- The impact of geopolitical risks in tourism business models
- Metaverse business models
- Sustainability within the context of boosting the ability to learn and innovation
- The impact of digitalization on business and its impact on the local tourism development
