“…58 In a few days, TeleSUS served thousands of people, streamlining health care and dispatching requests for COVID-19 tests and medication. 27 By directing part of the population with symptoms of COVID-19 to TeleSUS, it was possible to avoid the collapse of public health care in some Brazilian cities, guiding citizens with symptoms of the disease to remain in social isolation. 59 The use of telemedicine during the pandemic characterized a great advance for Brazilian medicine, encouraging the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the health context.…”

“…25 Although many studies have explored the COVID-19 outbreak in the Brazilian context, most work has focused on analyzing specific issues related to the spread of SARS-CoV-2, drugs, and symptoms. Some studies have discussed political choices, 26 moral dilemmas of public management, 27 the transformation in the labor market, 28 food insecurity, 29 and some political and social problems 30 in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil. However, no study has presented a literature review focusing on the role of government, on the Brazilian health system, and on social and economic impacts caused by the current pandemic.…”

COVID-19 outbreak quickly spread to all corners of the globe. In Brazil, the outbreak was particularly frightening because it worsened existing health, political, economic, and social problems. The results already observed show the contagion ripple-spreading process across the country, causing the death of thousands of people each day and counting, added to a very serious wave of unemployment, scientific denial, and social precariousness. Based on this, this study reviews recent research that looked at the role of the government, the Brazilian health system, and the main economic and social impacts fostered by the pandemic. We perform a scoping review according to the PRISMA-ScR to structure the qualitative synthesis of the 67 associated documents. The results reinforce the negative effects of the country's mismanagement and its consequent impacts on the Brazilian economy and society. The battleground against COVID-19 has fueled political tensions, shaken the health system, and unleashed social despair tinged with thousands of deaths. Finally, in the present scoping review, we discuss concerns about the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil and what the world hopes the country has learned from the current crisis.

“…Another problem faced by public authorities and school management bodies concerns the psychological health of students most affected by the interruption of educational activities in their traditional format. Therefore, one of the alternatives discussed for reducing losses was to formally disregard the school year and return to formal routines in the following years, reschedule the activities for admission to the universities, as well as the creation of a "fourth year of high school", that is, one year more than what is offered in the traditional high school system (Santos, 2020). With this same discussion interspersed with the then blatant criticism of inequality in terms of access to ICTs, State and Federal Governments were also asked to invest in technology for the popular classes and in research involving the mapping and creation of popular means to distribute these technologies.…”

“…Nasd palavras de Santos (2020), o medo do contágio tem feito com que as pessoas mudassem seus hábitos de consumo, principalmente por também terem medo de perderem seus empregos ou parte da renda. O lockdown estabelecido em algumas regiões brasileiras está impedindo a circulação de matérias-primas e, consequentemente, está afetando a cadeia produtiva de diversos setores e estes fatos implicam diretamente em desemprego, diminuição de renda para pessoas físicas e queda na receita de pessoas jurídicas (SANTOS, 2020).…”

COVID-19 e modelos de gestão nas micro e pequenas empresas: qual a melhor saída?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

O cenário de pandemia provocado pela Covid-19 gerou impactos negativos em diversos países, sendo um dos maiores desastres dos últimos anos, não estando apenas relacionado com os sistemas de saúde, mas também com a economia. Com isso, as empresas brasileiras foram negativamente atingidas, principalmente as micro e pequenas que possuem grande representatividade no PIB do país e não possuem, em sua maioria, modelos de gestão e programas de gerenciamento de crises estruturados. Diante deste contexto, o presente ensaio teve como objetivo promover uma discussão sobre como os modelos de gestão melhor estruturados influenciam a passagem e a sobrevivência dessa categoria de empresas em momentos de crise e, assim, discorrer sobre a forma em que micros e pequenos empreendimentos poderiam reagir diante da crise provocada pelo Coronavírus. Após um processo composto por buscas de respaldos teóricos já consolidados, reflexões promoveram evidências de que uma possível “saída” para os micros e pequenos empreendimentos é a flexibilização nas tomadas de decisão, as quais deveriam focalizar na compreensão das necessidades dos clientes e em uma maior adesão à tecnologia. ABSTRACTThe pandemic scenario caused by Covid-19 has generated negative impacts in several countries, being one of the biggest disasters in recent years, not only related to health systems, but also to the economy. As a result, Brazilian companies were negatively affected, especially micro and small companies that have a large share of the country's GDP and do not have, usually, structured management models and crisis management programs. In this context, the present essay aimed to promote a discussion on how best structured management models influence the transition and survival of this company’s category in crisis times and, thus, discuss the way in which micro and small enterprises could react to the crisis caused by Coronavirus. After a process composed of searches for consolidated theoretical support, reflections promoted evidence that a possible “way out” for micro and small enterprises is flexibility in their decision making, which should focus on understanding the customers’ needs and on a greater adherence to technology.
