Project III

​

The third subproject will be on the expected role of sustainability and

internationalization as drivers for the business competition in the

recovery from COVID19 crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought paramount economic, social and

environmental impacts, both negative and positive. With the initial

drastic reduction of the economic activity, there were visible 

environmental improvements and voluntarily efforts of social

solidarity. However, in the context of business recovery from the

COVID-19 crisis, will these improvements last long? For micro-, small-

, and medium enterprises in a developing country, will sustainability

be perceive as an opportunity for business recovery? Will the plans for

internationalization be linked to such sustainability efforts? This

project aims to shed light on these questions.
