Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Special Issue entitled “The World under COVID-19: Innovation, Risk and the Challenge of Global Economic Development” of the journal World, which is a multidisciplinary and open-access journal devoted to past, present, and future links between economic, political, social, and/or environmental issues. More information about the journal can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in the social, technological, economic, environmental, political, legal, and ethical environment (STEEPLE) of societies and businesses to varying degrees. The pressing global challenges of digital transformation, climate change, and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) took on a new dimension under COVID-19. As an unanticipated shock, the COVID-19 pandemic put economies and societies under much stress and brought about further discussion and research, not only in risk management but also in innovation management areas, such as open innovation. A key concept to emerge from the COVID-19 experience is the degree of “resilience” in the systems.
This Special Issue aims to publish findings and observations regarding the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and global development with a focus on risk management, innovation management, and resilient systems in areas covering, but not limited to, the following: economic development; SDGs; sustainability; finance; economics; strategic management; supply chain and logistics, marketing and advertising; organizational behaviour; human resource management; labor economics and industrial relations; project management; tourism and hospitality; health services, public health; education; resource and environmental economics, and cultural economics.
We encourage the submission of notes, reviews, original research articles, empirical studies, conceptual papers, short communications, systematic reviews, and case studies targeting any of the above areas, and especially the papers related to the experience of COVID-19 for developing countries.
Dr. Erdal Atukeren
Guest Editor
