In cooperation with Siegen University, Digital Oxygen conducted a three-part study on the crisis management of 52 SMEs and multinationals in Germany during the Covid-19 pandemic based on individual interviews. This study aims at contributing to the vivid socio-economic discourse regarding the crisis by exposing complex circumstances and outlining possible solutions for crisis management to struggling businesses. The first part establishes a relatable timeline of awareness and analyses initial indicators for crisis recognition.
Nicolas Bell, Partner at Digital Oxygen, summarizes his take-away: “We were really fascinated by the openness of our study participants and their eagerness to share their experiences
