The impact of a pandemic on changes in the behaviour of economic entities

Summary/Abstract: The ongoing processes of economic, social and cultural development were unexpectedly disturbed by the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. Its negative effects, to a different extent, changed the functioning of economic entities and spatial systems in the world, individual continents and countries, as well as regional and local systems. In the literature on the subject, analyses are carried out on various aspects, the impact of a pandemic on the functioning and conditions for the development of economic sectors, companies and the economy of individual countries. In these considerations, an attempt was made to construct a model that would allow for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of a pandemic on the behaviour of economic entities and spatial systems. Against the background of the outline of the functioning of the current economic structure, changes were made in the conditions of business operations and the socio‑economic situation taking place under the influence of the pandemic. The proposed approach allows for a comprehensive presentation of the impact of the crisis on changes in the operating conditions of companies in the new socio‑economic situation resulting from the emerging pandemic. Then, a partial empirical verification of the proposed approach was performed on selected examples of the behaviour of industry and construction, selected companies and industrial sectors, including the automotive industry.
