Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) have made remarkable contributions to enhancing the economic growth of South Africa. The emergence of COVID-19 retarded the growth of SMMEs due to the lockdown imposed by the government on the 23rd of March, 2020. This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on SMMEs and the future sustainability measures. To achieve the objectives of this study, a systematic review was adopted and 150 articles were downloaded from various databases for the study. Findings obtained from the study revealed that several authors from different continents have made wide contributions to revive SMMEs amidst COVID-19 disruption. The recommendations made to SMMEs include amplifying their communication networks and adopting e-commerce options, as well as Social Network Sites to reach out to their customers. Other recommendations include the adoption of transactional leadership, strategic management, employee management, financial management, and effective collaboration. The study further recommended that the government should endeavour to provide funding opportunities to SMMEs, improve the provision of infrastructure and enhance the effectiveness of the business environment. The study concludes that the SMMEs that were affected by the interruption of COVID-19 would be revived if the recommendations of this study are applied.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies were directly impacted by this global crisis, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) enterprises, with their unique investment cash flow, were no exception. This study aims to examine how the COVID-19 crisis impacted the investment cash flow of FDI enterprises. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) enterprises not only faced challenges in production and operations but also grappled with issues related to cross-border travel. Research based on the theory of investment relationship and crisis has been proposed by many researchers. The research was conducted on 45 FDI enterprises that have invested in Vietnam from 2013 to 2022. The study employs the Difference-in-Generalized Method of Moments (DGMM) to address endogeneity. The results indicate that COVID-19 has reduced the investment cash flow of FDI enterprises. Based on these research findings, the authors also propose several policy measures to assist stakeholders in making appropriate decisions during similar crises such as COVID-19. The study contributes to the forecasting of investment cash flows for FDI enterprises during similar crises such as COVID-19.
