“…Global changes triggered by the pandemic imply the emergence of new existing risks in various areas of business functioning (Jedynak and Bąk, 2021). Organisation and management are considered a relatively new field of science (Ciekanowski, Majkowska, and Załoga, 2018, p. 46).…”

Purpose:The aim of this article is to present the role of information security in the management process of modern enterprises. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research question posed is: What impact did the COVID-19 pandemic have on the utilisation of information technologies in enterprises? To address these questions, qualitative methods were employed. A detailed analysis of statistical data, both at national and European Union levels, regarding the utilisation of information technologies in enterprises and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations, was conducted. The research utilised literature analysis, online sources, and an in-depth examination of data from national sources such as the Central Statistical Office (GUS) and Eurostat. Findings: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the utilisation of information technologies in companies, affecting their functioning in the virtual space and planned activities. The development of the digital space expanded the capabilities of enterprises, introduced the possibility of remote work, and enabled communication through digital tools. Ensuring information security played a crucial role in the process of management, storage, and data transfer. Practical Implications: The analysis of the collected material demonstrates that the integration of management systems plays an important role in contemporary enterprises. This is a complex process that requires information technology skills, knowledge, and competencies among employees and managerial staff. Therefore, it is important to focus on the needs of seeking and implementing increasingly advanced systems for data collection, transmission, and protection in organisations. Originality/Value: The analysis of the gathered material shows that digitization has become a necessity and an essential source providing access to the latest information.

“…When a company practices accommodating crisis management, it acknowledges the potential for a crisis and incorporates a wide range of stakeholders in the planning stage. In times of crisis, the organization takes ownership, willingly provides for victims' needs and tells the truth (Jedynak and Bąk, 2021). Defensive crisis management is an approach where the business prepares for the crisis with high expected costs, involving stakeholders only when the law requires them to.…”

Purpose To understand how to deal with high effect situations, like that associated with COVID-19, in the future, many economists, academics and business leaders are drawing parallels between the 2008 financial crisis and the current pandemic. This study aims to explore how crisis elements can be considered while strategizing for business research despite the minimal possibility of an emergency occurring. Also, research in crisis management is fragmented, resulting in isolated components guiding businesses through crises. This research emphasizes the relative scarcity of a comprehensive crisis management framework. Design/methodology/approach COVID-19 has been the biggest crisis the world has ever confronted, and businesses require an innovative strategy to address it. Towards keeping the data set involved in this study targeted and manageable, articles are selected from peer-reviewed journals based on a purposive sampling method. In addition, the research used reports from consulting firms and government and nongovernment organizations to understand current trends in business research. Findings The findings revealed that for a firm to survive a crisis, it must ensure its plans are aligned with the trends that would allow it to grow during the crisis. Rather than entirely changing the track, strategies should be guided by the company's existing resource availability and capabilities. The techniques used must ensure the company's profitability or limit losses, thus ensuring long-term viability. Real-life examples from the current pandemic have shown how firms who recognized crisis characteristics could survive the pandemic and profited multiple times. Originality/value It presents an integrated, sector-agnostic crisis management framework based on literature, business managers' insights and lessons from the current pandemic. Precrisis, crisis arrival, crisis management and crisis experience are the four phases of the framework. The study proposes future research directions to scholars in applying the framework and its enhancement concerning the upcoming crisis possibilities.

“…Systemic approach is the base for a proper understanding of risk management. According to systemic approach, risk management can be considered an integrated system aimed at identifying the awareness of risks, identifying the nature of risks and the degree of threats, evaluating identified risks, adopting effective ways of dealing with identified risks and providing responses to risks (Jedynak & Bak, 2021). Systemic approach was applied to the study as it considers risk management as an integrated system.…”

This study tries to design a model for assessing and prioritizing human resources risks, using systems thinking and relying on the experiences of Mashhad Municipality in Iran. Reviewing various sources, this study identifies risks in human resources and uncovers the cause and effect relationships between their dimensions and components. Then, using qualitative and quantitative methods, the proposed model is evaluated. Results show five main subsystems of human resources operational risks, personal risks, professional risks, human capital risks and contextual risks. The results also show that there is a dynamic relationship between the components of these subsystems. It is shown that human resources' operational risks have the highest probability of occurrence and intensity of impact and human capital risks have the lowest probability of occurrence and intensity of impact. The system diagrams of this study provide researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive perspective to consider human resources risks in public organizations.
