The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the multidimensional impacts
on organizational management it brings inspired us to call for papers for this
special issue. In effect, the issue presents a collection of full-length articles
and research notes devoted to the experience of enterprises during the first
year of the COVID-19 pandemic in various East European countries (Poland,
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia, Armenia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina).
The studies cover the presentation of tendencies and trends in particular sectors
(by Kaźmierska-Jóźwiak, Sekuła, and Sacha), in-depth analyses of a pair of
similar subsidiaries of multinational companies (by Shchetinin and Lapshin)
and of a sample of small and medium size enterprises (by Gittins, Freész and
Huszák), examinations of the impact of the pandemic on the HR management
of different types of enterprises in the national economy (by Bešić and Rahimić
and by Beglaryan, Gabrielyan and Shakhmuradyan), the exploration of different managers’ anticipations and reactions to the crisis situation (by Čejka and Sadílek and by Obłój, Ciszewska-Mlinarič, Wąsowska, Wójcik, and Milancej).
