Impact of covid on the legal system
Each sector of business activity has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The force of this outbreak has impacted individuals, families, businesses and government services in many ways. Each sector of activity has been impacted or will be impacted to varying degrees.
Your task is to identify five (5) key players (business or other organizations) that are part of your sector of activity and describe how they have been and may be impacted by the outbreak. In the context of this project, a player is defined as any business, group, industry or other entity that actively participates in that specific area of activity.
For example, in the Tourism industry, players could be Travel Agencies, Airlines, Hotels, Insurance companies, etc. In accounting and payroll, examples of players could be the stock markets, Government agencies such as Employment Insurance, self-employed individuals, or businesses in general.
Keep in mind that regardless of your industry, there are some players that may be common to more than one program.
Each player will be impacted to varying degrees along several fronts. Below is a list of nine areas or factors that players may face challenges with or require coping strategies. For each player, select five different factors that you wish to research and present.
1. Economic / financial challenges
2. Sales and Marketing challenges
3. Human resources and payroll challenges
4. Legal impacts
5. Communication challenges and strategies
6. Adaptive strategies ( during the crisis)
7. Emergency response challenges and strategies
8. Rebounding strategies ( after the crisis)
9. General societal issues and challenges ( e.g. health care system ability to cope)
Your task is to select five (5) relevant factors from the above list and research, describe and discuss how each of your five players are impacted.
Your report must be a written report following the general structure described above. In addition to the written report, you must include a variety of different visual support resources such as PowerPoint slides, graphs illustrating data, video sequences, articles and any other support items that are relevant and related to your report. Any reference to any specific supplemental resource such as a PowerPoint slide must be referenced in your written report. All sources of information must be properly referenced as well. You will be required to present your report via video conferencing or other means as instructed by your campus administrator.
Conclusion/ Summary
Your report must end with a section where you provide your personal insight on how the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the sector and industries related to your program of study.
In this section, you can provide a brief summary of the situation, but more importantly your views and whether you agree or disagree (and why) with the decisions, actions and measures put in place to address, resolve or mitigate the impacts of the outbreak.
