The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused serious
disruptions to the economy and business activities. The COVID-19
crisis has also exposed important weaknesses in business and supply
chains. It pointed to specific sectors of the economy, primarily
related to services, that suffered the most. On the other hand, it
has highlighted the great flexibility of the activities of
entrepreneurs in their attempts to fight the crisis. The role of
government has also been important in tackling this pandemic crisis
to contain the epidemic and adopt activities to help entrepreneurs
who were most affected by the crisis. Numerous national aid and
recovery packages have been announced to support businesses and
workers. At the same time, financial decisions were made at the
international level, resulting in the mobilization of huge funds
that were intended to support the functioning of enterprises. This
book shares observations and conclusions from contemporary research
and analyses, as well as from personal experiences in creating and
implementing anti-crisis solutions in economies and enterprises
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and its entities. It
will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and
students in the fields of international business, economics, crisis
management, and entrepreneurship.

Cooperation between science and business (S2B cooperation) is a
very important issue from the points of view of the domestic
economy, companies, and universities. This is mainly because such
cooperation is a catalyst for faster and reliable development - not
only of enterprises, but also of the entire economy. Thanks to S2B
cooperation, enterprises can gain and commercialize new and
ground-breaking solutions. Universities in turn can give their
research a more practical dimension to increase its economic
applicability, which helps universities prepare future staff to
work in modern enterprises. The aim of this publication is to
indicate how cooperation between universities and business can be
implemented in an international dimension. It shows the role of
modern universities in supporting the development of enterprise and
entire economies as well as the role of modern enterprises that use
resources located in universities (including knowledge resources).
This unique combination has a positive impact on the results and
developmental opportunities for each of them. Any potential
obtained in this manner is the basis for creating a competitive
advantage on the market. This book is devoted to a specific area of
cooperation between enterprises and universities and will be of
interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in
the fields of entrepreneurship, knowledge management, international
relations, and higher education.
