Professor Jorge Sá (PhD Columbia University; MBA Drucker University; Jean Monnet Chair; Peter Drucker speaker) recently published the article “Covid as an Economic Opportunity: Lessons from the Subprime Crisis on Resilient Businesses” on The European Business Review (UK), one of the major European large audience magazines for managers and entrepreneurs.
Based on empirical data from the Eurostat this article indicates:
1. Which were the resilient businesses during the subprime crisis (years 2008-2014);
2. That most of the resilient businesses belong to a few industries and economic sectors;
3. Also, regardless if an industry was globally resilient or not, it frequently contains within itself resilient segments (sub-parts of the industry);
4. Besides the existence of resilient businesses, the whole structure of the economy changes during crisis; and
5. All the above inferences from the subprime crisis are compatible with data from the 2020 Covid year.(see full article below)
