Apart from causing a global pandemic, COVID-19 has also affected many industries worldwide, causing the economic position of businesses to weaken. This study provides an empirical assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the economic position of micro, small, medium, and large business enterprises in Kosovo. While COVID-19 has been detrimental to many businesses, many of them have adapted to the possibilities, created by the new situation. Our findings indicate that almost all enterprises have reported a financial loss, and more than one-third have laid off employees. More than one-half of the enterprises have changed product delivery methods, and more than one-third have reorganized and changed their organizational structure. Meanwhile, around one-sixth of enterprises have changed their primary activity and have declared the need for new employees. Furthermore, surveyed enterprises have reported issues in retaining applicable contracts, supply of materials, trust in supply chain partners, and product placement, among others.

Covid-19 对企业经济方面的影响

除了引起全球大流行外，COVID-19 还影响了全球许多行业，导致企业的经济地位减弱。本研究对 COVID-19 对科索沃微型、小型、中型和大型企业的经济地位的影响进行了实证评估。尽管 COVID-19 对许多企业造成了不利影响，但其中许多企业已经适应了新形势所带来的可能性。我们的调查结果表明，几乎所有企业都报告了财务损失，超过三分之一的企业裁员。超过一半的企业改变了产品交付方式，超过三分之一的企业重组和改变了组织架构。与此同时，大约六分之一的企业改变了他们的主要活动，并宣布需要新员工。
