“…Novel financial and emotional reasons were identified here, particular to the pandemic context: They have fewer clients, they have financial losses/bankruptcy risk and solidarity. This is in line with Nkemdilim et al [61], showing the need to test the hypothesis that the COVID-19 control measures enforcement may have neglected economic social structures as the supply and demand system has been modified, thus, consumers perceived challenges for SMEs [64,65]. Moreover, it is important to highlight the fact that the emotional triggers that enhance the motivation to support the local entrepreneurs lead to a behaviour that does not represent a sustainable solution from an economic perspective.…”

“…Other studies reveal that, for example, most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were challenged to adopt e-commerce platforms to survive [63]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply and demand system have been modified, leading to various challenges [64], including financial losses for companies, especially SMEs [65]. As expected, the crisis affected most businesses in industries such as the food and beverage industry [66] or the tourism market [67].…”

Little attention has been paid to why consumers choose to purchase goods and services from the informal economy. Similarly, few studies have been conducted on consumer behaviour in relation to informal markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the article is to evaluate, for the first time, whether the COVID-19 pandemic influenced consumer behaviour in relation to the informal economy. Qualitative evidence collected in Iași, Romania, is reported. The finding is that the most important motives for purchasing goods and services from the informal economy are related to social ends, such as supporting local businesses, maintaining relationships with others, and enhancing sustainable development. The novel finding of this research is that community exchange in the form of mutual aid and reciprocity is not activated only for friends, neighbours, kin or work colleagues but also for local businesses facing financial difficulties. The customers are displaying solidarity and empathy for their situation. As such, this article adds to previous findings indicating that the motivation of lower cost is not the universal rationale for purchasing from the informal economy as many consumers choose to make purchases from informal market driven by social rationales. The paper ends by discussing the policy implications of the findings.

“…Covid-19 had an unprecedented impact on society, the economy, and the environment (Bapuji et al, 2020;Bansal, 2020). It represented a health crisis, sensitively perceived by every citizen because it threatens human health (Jankelová and Misun, 2021), but at the same time, it caused a deep economic crisis with long-term consequences (Bodziany et al, 2021;Baker et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: To identify organizational and technological reactions of companies in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Veracruz with regards to the COVID-19 crisis. Methodological design: This is a quantitative and cross-sectional study. The information was collected in two phases: May and September, 2020. The survey was answered by 154 companies in the first phase and 178 in the second. The instruments were designed to collect information on the impact the pandemic had on companies’ operation: the measures adopted to survive the crisis, the government "support" they received, and the conditions for a possible return to the "new normal." The sample of 154 and 178 companies has statistical validity with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 7.88% and 6%, in phase 1 and 2, respectively. Results: At the beginning of the pandemic, only a third of the companies from Veracruz, Boca del Río and Tuxtepec registered major affectations, unlike the border cities of the northern states of Mexico. Research limitations: Despite the design of an extensive promotion campaign, high rates of rejection could have affected the representativeness of the study. Findings: The results show that uncertainty resulting from the pandemic has generated new business opportunities for those companies capable of combining the internal adjustment of their costs and the search of new business models with greater use of digital technologies and higher inventory margins.

Proses belajar di dunia pendidikan pada pasca pandemi covid-19 memang akan berjalan unik dan menarik untuk dikaji secara empiris, teoretis dan berbagai pengalaman yang dialami guru dan murid selama proses belajar daring (online) dapat dijadikan inspirasi untuk diurai dalam wujud tulisan-tulisan ringan yang layak untuk di ketahui banyak orang dan layak dimuat dalam Buku Bunga Rampai ini. Para penulis buku ini akan berbeda sudut pandangnya melihat penyelenggaraan pendidikan di pasca pandemi, tetapi pada prinsipnya sama yakni bagaimana proses belajar di sekolah dan di rumah siswa dapat mengikutinya dan berbagai materi yang tertinggal selama proses belajar daring selama kurun waktu 2 tahun ini dijadikan dasar berpikir yang kuat untuk mau lebih meningkatkan lagi keinginan belajarnya baik di sekolah maupun di rumah.Pendidikan pada prinsipnya harus berada di garda terdepan bagi bangsa Indonesia secara khusus bagi para generasi milineal bangsa ini, olehkarena estafet kepemimpinan yang akan melanjutnya negara ini dimasa akan datang terletak pada bagaimana mutu pendidikan saat ini. Dalam dunia olahraga, jika penulis analogikan bahwa Indonesia bercita-cita masuk dalam 10 besar ranking dunia di Olimpiade tahun 2032, maka jawabnya ada di pembinaan olahraga prestasi anak Indonesia usia 10-12 tahun saat ini. Pembinaan harus berjangka panjang yakni sekitar 8-10 tahun dan umur ini dijadikan acuan guna menyongsong prestasi 10 besar dunia di Olimpiade 2032. Dalam dunia pendidikan juga harus demikian, apa yang terjadi pada anak didik di tahun 2022, tentu akan dlihat bagaimana generasi bangsa Indonesia di tahun 2032. Apakah berelasi dengan munculnya generasi muda Indonesia yang handal menjawab tantangan era globalisasi di tahun 2032. Seperti apa kualifikasinya, ini adalah buah dari apa yang dilakukan pada anak didik di tahun 2022 ini. Olehkarena itu, proses pendidikan di pasca pandemi yang rencana akan di mulai tahun 2022 harus diwujudkan secara berkualitas. Kehadiran buku bunga rampai ini sangatlah tepat di tengah kondisi pandemi Covid-19 varian baru. Semoga tulisan ringan dengan berbagai topik yang menarik disampaikan para penulis, memberi manfaat bagi para pembaca, guru, siswa, orangtua. Upaya menghilangkan virus Covid-19 terus dilakukan Pemerintah RI tetapi penyiapan SDM unggul tidak boleh terhenti olehkarena ganasnya penyebaran Virus corona yang berimbas membuat banyak pihak berpikir pesimis dan optimis yang bercampur aduk dalam pikirannya termasuk para guru dan siswa.
