While the concerns about COVID pandemic seem to be waning and we are gradually moving into a post-COVID era, over the past two years, businesses have gone through significant changes in the way they manage and run their operations. Some believe that many businesses may not return to their pre-COVID ways of operation. Do you agree? If so, what kind of changes should we expect to see? Which industries do you think may go thorough more structural changes during the transition to the post-COVID era? How do you think these changes might affect international economic relationships?

Hint: Think about the methods of production and delivery of products and services and the changes in the use of resources/factors of production.
