The primary quantitative data have been collected through a survey questionnaire based on 330 participants. For analyzing the collected data, the use of the SEM technique has been made in this study. The researcher has adopted the data from the managers and employees belonging to the SMEs in China who are the research respondents. The data has been gathered from a sample size of 330. The number of distributed questionnaires was 340, whereas the responses gained were nearly 335, out of which 330 responses were selected. In the SEM technique, a CFA test was conducted to confirm the model's reliability and validity, whereas the results of path assessment were presented to examine the association between the variables. The findings of this study have confirmed the significant impact of COVID-19 on innovative operational procedures, profitability, remote work, and stakeholder satisfaction and safety.

The coronavirus disease 2019 or Covid-19 pandemic has affected many operations worldwide. This predicament also owes to the lockdown measures imposed by the affected countries. The total lockdown or partial lockdown devised by countries all over the world meant that most economic activities, be put on hold until the outbreak is contained. The decisions made by authorities of each affected country differs according to various factors, including the country's financial stability. This paper reviews the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on maritime sectors, specifically shipping, fisheries, maritime tourism, and oil and gas sector. The period of this study covers economic activities between the month of January towards the end of July 2020. Also discussed in this journal, is the analysis of the potential post-outbreak situation and the economic stimulus package. This paper serves as a reference for future research on this topic.

“…Their development is complex due to the diverse structure of the systems within which the decision-making processes take place, as well as the risks arising from the challenging quantification of some of the assumptions that the decision-making processes are based on. There is a lack of studies aimed at developing a methodological platform for the decision-making processes influenced by the pandemic (as in the work of Abebe et al [1]; Gavril et al [2]; Rathore and Khanna [3]; Wójcik and Ioannou [4]; or Waiho et al [5]). We have seen the emergence of numerous research studies whose research trajectories have been linked to policymaking, but which have been largely compensatory (e.g., Åslund [6]; Hudson [7]; ILO, International Labour Office [8]; Juergensen et al [9]; UNCTAD, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [10,11]).…”

This paper presents the development of technologies to support the decision-making of local government executives and smart city concept managers in selecting and evaluating the competencies of new members for advisory groups for solving problems that are implemented in safe times in individual areas or in crises, such as pandemics. The reason for developing effective urban transformation strategies and for the transparent selection of independent experts (non-politicians) for policymaking, decision-making, and implementation teams is not only the heterogeneity of smart city dimensions together with the necessary complexity and systems approach, but also the nature of the capacities and tools needed for smart city concepts. The innovative hybrid competency assessment model is based on fuzzy logic and a network for neuro-fuzzy assessment. It is a technological model for evaluating the competencies of specialists, taking into account the influence of human factors on the processes of personnel selection and system management. An innovative web platform named “Smart City Concept Personnel Selection” has been designed, which can be adapted to various users of municipalities or regional institutions for the transparent selection of qualified personnel for effective decision-making and the use of public funds during safe times or emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
