By 2020, the global economy, led by the US China duopoly, was experiencing the longest economic expansion on record.

The chapters explore diverse aspects of the sanitary crisis and its ramifications for countries and organizations. Finally, it provides diagnosis and recommendations for managerial practice in various industries impacted.
