Main Article Content
Abstract
This thesis investigates corporate solutions for achieving economic resilience in the aftermath of the COVID-19 epidemic. The pandemic's unparalleled disruption underlined the necessity for companies to adapt, recover, and prosper in the face of unanticipated obstacles. This research, which takes a mixed-methods approach, combines qualitative insights from interviews with company executives with quantitative analysis of financial and operational data. The qualitative findings highlight crucial techniques such as flexible business models, digital transformation, and collaborative networks. Quantitative study reveals that these tactics have a favorable influence on financial success. The combination of qualitative and quantitative data emphasizes the significance of dynamic reactions, technological adoption, and strategic partnerships in fostering economic resilience. These insights contribute to the understanding of effective recovery strategies and have implications for businesses seeking to navigate the complexities of a post-pandemic world.
