Coping with COVID-19: Does management make firms more resilient? Image The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the daily operations of firms on a staggering scale. Sharp, short-term impacts of the pandemic on firms have been reported across geographies and sectors in terms of revenue loss, business closures, mass layoffs, and liquidity (Apedo-Amah et al. 2020). While most studies provide an understanding of the magnitude and distribution of the shock, and how firms are adjusting, it does not offer insights on the mechanisms through which firms become more resilient. Our recent working paper explores one such channel, that is, whether structured management practices can help firms cope with the COVID-19 crisis.
