“…Dolenc, Grum, and Laporsek (2012) find that the global financial crisis in 2008 has the most visible impact on return on equity and economic value added of the firms. Notta and Vlachvei (2014) observe that market share, leverage and liquidity have a significant influence on the firm’s performance during the financial crisis of 2008.…”

The present study is an attempt to assess the ‘probability of incurring loss’ of manufacturing firms in India during different phases of business cycles. We use data on a sample of 87 manufacturing companies for the period from 2002 to 2014 (comprising 1131 firm years). We use the panel logit model with the dependent variable derived from the return on assets to empirically test the hypothesis. Besides, we use firm-specific variables and macroeconomic variables as independent variables in the model. Firm-specific variables, namely size of the firm and interest coverage ratio and macroeconomic variables namely exchange rate, bank credit, inflation, interest rate and index of industrial production are statistically significant in predicting the probability of incurring loss of the firms during the study period. The results are important for investors, corporate houses, managers, lenders, policymakers and the research community as business cycles have a visible impact on all functional areas of an organization. Our study assumes significance because of the importance of macroeconomic variables in the strategic decision-making of the corporate sector in general and manufacturing firms in particular.

“…A first step towards this adaption is to study performance mechanisms and understand how the economic crisis has affected businesses' profitability. Notta and Vlachvei (2014) taking into account that firm performance deteriorates during a crisis, to a certain extent, estimate that firm performance will be impacted by the crisis. This paper attempts to identify the determinants of firms' performance and to investigate firstly if commercial, manufacturing firms and agricultural cooperatives confront the same effect of the economic crisis on their performance.…”

“…More recently, academic research has focused on the following topics: How innovation and knowledge created by EU-funded research programs are translated into practice in industry (Protogerou, Caloghirou, & Siokas, 2010); the relationship between dynamic capabilities and firm performance (Protogerou, Caloghirou, & Lioukas, 2012); and the rise of creative industries (Protogerou et al, 2015). In addition, there is an interest in how the crisis has affected: on the one hand, certain sectors-as shown by research on food manufacturing firms (Notta & Vlachvei, 2014)-and, on the other, attitudes towards entrepreneurship as seen notably from a survey among Greek students (EY, AUEB, Endeavor Greece & Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce, 2015).…”

This article analyzes the core features of the new, innovative, and outward‐looking entrepreneurial paradigm arising in Greece during the post‐2008 contraction of the economy. Through case studies of 21 selected firms, we demonstrate the ways in which the new paradigm differs from the pre‐2008 prevailing business practices and the reasons why it has appeared at this particular moment in time. We argue that if it expands, this phenomenon may have the potential to change the face of Greece but that at this moment in time, it is at a critical turning point.
