Since the beginning of this year, today’s business environment is changing rapidly. We are constantly faced with volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) challenges and threats such as the Covid-19 crisis. A lot has been written in recent months about this change and its various aspects: globalization, emerging markets, different competitors, new technologies and most recently the Covid-19 pandemic and economic crisis that change organizational structure, business models and market places, impact of social media, etc and even force businesses to close down. Governments all over the world have struggled to contain the spread of Covid-19. They relentlessly provide stimuluspackage to support coronavirus-hit economy and pursue a speedy economic recovery. It has affected people and businesses worldwide, and surely also multinational companies (MNCs). (S.D. Sutedja)
