Abstract

PurposeThis work aims to characterize the risks companies deal with in the context of a pandemic, and to ascertain which risk type is most present in Portuguese organizations. It is also intended to verify whether there are differences in the various risk types between companies that had or did not have a plan or strategy to act in a pandemic, such as the one caused by COVID-19.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative methodology was used, based on the application of a questionnaire survey targeting the Portuguese companies. The sample is composed of 1,647 Portuguese companies, which were queried through a questionnaire survey that analyses different risk types. Then, the software R was used to treat the results.FindingsThe results show that companies are exposed and vulnerable to uncertain events, and five risk types were formed: legal, image, financial, strategic and operational. There is a bigger concern about the management of financial risks.Practical implicationsAcademics and companies can become more aware and master the concept of risk and its different branches, which consequently favours the adoption of strategies to better manage and plan risk.Originality/valueThe literature on international businesses and their risks assumes that all crises are the same. However, the COVID-19 pandemic, besides causing a recession, obliges people and companies to adapt to a new scenario. Risks become more important to companies, in a way that had not been academically studied.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间葡萄牙组织的风险分类——探索性统计分析
目的:本工作旨在描述公司在大流行背景下面临的风险,并确定葡萄牙组织中最常见的风险类型。它还旨在验证在COVID-19引起的大流行中,有或没有制定行动计划或战略的公司之间的各种风险类型是否存在差异。设计/方法/方法采用定量方法,基于针对葡萄牙公司的问卷调查的应用。样本由1647家葡萄牙公司组成,通过分析不同风险类型的问卷调查对这些公司进行了询问。然后,使用R软件对结果进行处理。研究结果表明,企业易受不确定事件的影响,形成了法律、形象、财务、战略和运营五种风险类型。更大的担忧是对金融风险的管理。实际意义学者和公司可以更加了解和掌握风险及其不同分支的概念,从而有利于采取更好地管理和计划风险的策略。关于国际商业及其风险的文献假设所有危机都是相同的。然而,COVID-19大流行除了造成经济衰退外,还迫使个人和企业适应新的情况。风险对企业来说变得更加重要,而这在学术上还没有得到研究。

期刊介绍: Institutions – especially public policies – are a significant determinant of economic outcomes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process. The Journal of Entrepreneurship & Public Policy (JEPP) was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about these vital relationships. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of the political discourse about entrepreneurship and development policies. JEPP publishes two issues per year and welcomes: Empirically oriented academic papers and accepts a wide variety of empirical evidence. Generally, the journal considers any analysis based on real-world circumstances and conditions that can change behaviour, legislation, or outcomes, Conceptual or theoretical papers that indicate a direction for future research, or otherwise advance the field of study, A limited number of carefully and accurately executed replication studies, Book reviews. In general, JEPP seeks high-quality articles that say something interesting about the relationships among public policy and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and economic development, or all three areas. Scope/Coverage: Entrepreneurship, Public policy, Public policies and behaviour of economic agents, Interjurisdictional differentials and their effects, Law and entrepreneurship, New firms; startups, Microeconomic analyses of economic development, Development planning and policy, Innovation and invention: processes and incentives, Regional economic activity: growth, development, and changes, Regional development policy.
