I think that our economy will be totally different after the COVID-19. For sure it will impact on global production chains. Producers will diversify their suppliers and whole distribution systems. Banking sectors will be more dependent on contactless solutions and we might observe some slackening of the globalization processes. Other important issue are the negative consequences of the pandemia. The IMF already announced that we may experience the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s.
I agree with most researchers here. I believe that COVID-19 has become the ultimate 'game-changer' in all fields, areas, contexts and countries. We must get used to a 'new normal' going forward.
we may depend upon technology mostly, food habits may be changed avoiding animal meats, perception towards ecology may be changed, policy might emphasizes sustainable development and so on.
Food habits, technology dependence, sanitation habits, climate consciousness and sustainability, operational efficiency and optimization, re-thinking of project and program management, agile management and manufacturing, risk and controls management, business dependencies, need for business travel, definition of lifestyle, all shall come under habitual scrutiny, and many of these shall evolve. Even geopolitical and geoeconomic dependencies may change.

The nongovernmental organisations will have a more important place in local sustainability. My conference paper emphasize this statement: Deleted research itemThe research item mentioned here has been deleted
Sura L. Alkhafaji world before covid2019 not that as after it. People habits , norms, and lifestyle changed forever, countries relations not as were, so we need to wait too see what while happen more than that.
One of the important feature which we observed during the last few years was the process of decoupling between China and the United States. I am pretty sure that COVID-19 will accelerate the process.
From Auditors point of view, I may say that Bank branch audits will be a tough challenge in the present COVID-19 scenario. In view of the present lockdown and government advisory, the audit firm can opt for all the communications by email instead of physical mode wherever necessary, Banks will have to co-ordinate with the concerned audit staff for making necessary arrangements for their movement and safety within and outside of red zone, depending on location of auditor and the Bank branch. The audit firm may even the respective bank to provide an access for staff / partners at the nearest branch so as to enable to have delegation of work among them.
We can see the divisions in different worlds even in Corona crisis, we can see still bombing in middle east. We have seen the poor health preparedness to control the crisis. Reformed health system is urgent with adequate budget and manpower. We can see the confusing role of WHO too.
The oversight tendency for not have taken the pandemic genuinely serious even as it submerged China, a deeply defective approach toward providing broad testing for the coronavirus had left United States of America blinded to the extent of the present crisis and a dire shortage of Doctors ,Nurses , Clinicians and Healthcare Attendants on the front lines as well as ventilators to keep the critically ill alive,(Binnicker, 2020). A number of Medical Schools in Massachusetts and New York pronounced this week that they premeditated to proffer early graduation to their fourth year medical students and push them forward into the front-line healthcare as the demand for medical work force surges. On Tuesday 31st March, 2020, the Grossman School of Medicine New York University happen to be the foremost Institution in the United States of America to proclaim the offer of early graduation of students and get them mobilize into front line Medical combat against COVID-19. In a Similar development, Italy and Britain advanced many final year Medical students into midway Clinical service Staff to ensure appropriate response to CONVID-19,(Beck & Tobin, 2020). The Medical schools at Tufts University, Boston University and the University of Massachusetts had deliberated moving up their graduation dates to April 2020 from May 2020 amidst request for Healthcare team from the state of Massachusetts to spread out the Medical work force in responding to COVID-19. The Harvard Medical School had also contemplated the same option of early graduation to ensure that Medical and Healthcare personnel are adequately enough for COVID-19 pandemic,(Bayne, Norris, & Timmons, 2020). According to , Dr. Steven Abramson, Vice Dean for education, faculty and academic affairs at N.Y.U. Grossman, he rightly maintained that Universities pronouncement came as its hospitals were increasingly overwhelmed with influx of COVID-19 patient cases, hence the need to expedite action and absorb graduate students who are interested in serving in hospitals with immediate effect,(Giwa & Desai, 2020).
Thanks for the discussion. I think it affects every aspects. Nationalization, Globalization, trade and marketing system, agriculture and Research play a role in post covid era.
