The economic and business impact of COVID-19
Sociologist and economist Mauro F. Guillén analyzes the economic and business consequences of the pandemic in this online seminar conducted entirely in Spanish.
What are the consequences of COVID-19 for businesses? How can they prepare for the impending recession? The challenge affects not only the supply chain but also the continuity of the business activities in general. Businesses must continue to interact with their customers, accommodate new remote work practices, and prepare for the recovery and the accumulated demand that may arise.
