Historically, many successful corporations have been started during recessions. Microsoft, Uber, Airbnb, and Electronic Arts all were founded under less than ideal economic circumstances. These organizations were able to seize business opportunities by identifying key consumer needs and strategically positioning themselves for future success.
Recession can often be a catalyst for innovation due to unique business opportunities. The key is identifying shifts as they occur in the marketplace. Existing companies should remain focused on pivoting business operations that best serve the changing needs of their customers. Likewise, new organizations should create opportunities through ingenuity and disruption.
Economic complications resulting from COVID-19 have impacted nearly every industry ranging from hospitality to retail. During these times, companies have adapted to a new sense of normalcy as they adjust to uncertain times. As such, organizations have taken innovative steps to pivot current business operations.
