    The COVID-19 pandemic has re-shaped organizations on many levels: resource, process, structural and relational. Such a wide range of forced changes has resulted in a greater need to implement risk management principles and procedures to secure an organization's position in the market. This book presents selected and key aspects of managing contemporary organizations in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, enriched with empirical analyses relating to various countries of the world.

    This edited collected focuses on clarifying and solving basic management dilemmas, integrated issues of risk management and organization security in light of changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically explores the following common problem areas, across industries and sectors, using theoretical, empirical and practical perspectives: financial, economic and regulatory conditions for management processes in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic; management of information resources and security in the conditions of the development of the phenomenon of digital risk and e-commerce; shaping relationships with stakeholders, with particular emphasis on relationships with customers in the conditions of sales processes; shaping the processes of creating and diffusing knowledge, with particular emphasis on the activities of educational entities.

    Organizational Management and the COVID-19 Crisis will be directly relevant for researchers and academics across a range of management disciplines, including strategic management, risk management, organizational studies, information and knowledge management and related fields.
