“…The SARS-CoV-2 virus, first observed in Wuhan's city in China in December 2019 and soon spread worldwide, affected everyone, including policy-makers and the general public [58][59][60]. The virus that causes coronavirus disease (called COVID-19) introduced many changes, some of them quite grim but others being quite beneficial in terms of sustainable growth and energy consumption.…”

This research tackles effective and functional management practices in energy consumption using advanced technological solutions to mitigate unexpected events. This study specifically focuses on the recent COVID-19 pandemic that led to a reduction in energy consumption and therefore meddled with the project management’s status quo for the energy sources. Moreover, this research analyzes the role of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions in energy management before and after the recent coronavirus pandemic turmoil. This study also examined the role and place of sustainable energy resources in the effective management of energy consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the recent coronavirus pandemic affected energy consumption and energy prices in many countries and how it paved the way for the new ICT in managing energy consumption. This study elaborated a model to show how these changes evolved in selected European Union (EU) Member States. It turns out that adjusted electricity consumption, as well as the average daily spot electricity prices for the baseload power in the EU countries, declined, and this trend is likely to continue in the next years to come. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial changes in the economy led to reduced office space usage, cutting commuting and business trips, and bringing commercial travel almost to a halt, further shifting the energy balance towards renewable energy sources (RES). Besides, it becomes apparent that ICT solutions used in maintaining and superintending the energy balance are gaining popularity and wide recognition worldwide and will help pave the way towards modern and smart high-renewables grids.

Scenarios for the Development of Polish Passenger Transport Services in Pandemic Conditions

et al. 2021

The article presents a prediction regarding the development of passenger transport services, considering random factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, based on scenario methods. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has significantly affected the way passenger transport services are provided, mainly due to sanitary restrictions imposed by epidemiological services. At the same time, the communication behaviour of travellers has also changed, which in turn has influenced the demand for these services. The following study investigates transport service future development issues from multiple perspectives, including demand analysis, the selection of major factors influencing the development of passenger transport for individual Polish passengers using an online questionnaire, and scenario designs. The main purpose of this article is to build various scenarios for the development of passenger transport, considering changes in the demand for these services and factors related to their perception by the users of the means of transport. The main factors influencing the future development of passenger transport and the possible scenarios can support public transport service providers in planning their services in the post-shutdown phase as well as in their respective modelling development requirements. This can support the planning process with decision-making based on future behavioural trends.

“…Researchers around the world had been actively involved in research into the implications of COVID-19. Some of them placed more emphasis on the importance of medical professionals' general condition (Greenberg, Docherty, Gnanapragasam, Wessely 2020;Flanagan, Chadwick, Goodrich, Ford, Wickens 2020), on psychosocial societal issues (Dubey, Biswas, Ghosh, Chatterjee, Dubey, Chatterjee, Lahiri, Lavie 2020; Al-Tammemi, Akour, Alfalah 2020), and the need for clear communication with the public in the event of the pandemic (Vaughan, Tinker 2009, Brooks, Webster, Smith, Woodland, Wessely, Greenberg, Rubin, 2020, on information and communication technologies empowerment in remote work (Pretorius, Davidavičienė, 2018;Davidavičienė, Al Majzoub, Meidute-Kavaliauskiene 2020) while other researchers modelled the scenarios of their countries' development during and after the pandemic (Rezk, Piccinetti, Radwan, Salem, Sakr, Khasawneh, 2020). Such researchers as Besenyő and Kármán (2020) examined effects of COVID-19 pandemy on a counry's health, political and economic strategy.…”

The article focuses on a relevant scientific and practical problem of the present, i.e., the resilience of organisations in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is, upon analysing the response of organisations to the threats related to the COVID-19-caused restrictions on economic activity, to identify the predominant behaviour of organisations that predetermines their resilience. The theoretical part discusses the leadership aspect of the heads of organisations and the ability of organisations to survive in the conditions of uncertainty. The findings of the research in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of Klaipėda Region are presented. The research methods chosen to deal with a scientific problem in the theoretical part include an analysis of literature sources, systematisation, synthesis, generalisation, and comparison. In the empirical research, quantitative research, i.e., a questionnaire survey and data processing methods, was applied. Due to the specificity of the region, the majority of the surveyed business entities (71.3%) are from the services sector, while the rest of the surveyed companies belong to the manufacturing (15%) and trade (13.7%) sectors. The research established that most of the organisations surveyed benefited from the government support. On assessing the survey data and summarising the response and efforts of organisations to deal with uncertainties, a conclusion was drawn that SMEs' response to uncertainties was mainly focused on the protection against threats and avoidance of risk, however, the organisations lacked preparedness and consistency when dealing with unforeseen circumstances.
