We are currently living in a historic phase. The consequences of the coronavirus affect all levels of society, not least business and entrepreneurship. The consequences will be noticeable for a long time to come – possibly permanently.
The Centre for Business History has the mission to preserve and tell the history of business and therefore we are now documenting the corona crisis in real time. We collect material on how businesses handle the crisis – about fears, hopes, crises, actions, and future prospects.
We welcome contributions on how the crisis has been met from all our member companies and member organizations, our friends association, and BizStories readers. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed! Going forward, we will also interview representatives of large and small companies about their experiences. In addition, we regularly send out surveys to capture the situation for business actors. The purpose is to create source material for future research on the course and consequences of the crisis.
