ABSTRACT
The research is aimed at identifying specific problems of enterprise development during the pandemic, as well as justifying the need for an adaptive approach to enterprise management, ensuring its rapid adjustment to new conditions. The article proves that the pandemic acts as a stressor for the enterprise, being a traumatic event of a high level of negative valence. The pandemic causes various types of stress in the enterprise: stress for the company’s personnel associated with the threat of dismissal;stress related to uncertainty and unpredictability;stress associated with a reduction in the enterprise’s income. The systematization of managerial problems of enterprise development is carried out depending on the type of stress caused by the pandemic: problems of personnel management of the enterprise, problems of adaptation of the enterprise to a changing environment, problems of lack of financial resources. The article presents the author’s vision of solving managerial problems of enterprise development during the pandemic. The authors justified the need for an adaptive approach to the choice of tools for solving managerial problems of enterprise development during the pandemic. The solution to the problem of personnel management of an enterprise during a pandemic is possible by using stress management tools. Uncertainty and unpredictability require clear and prompt decisions on the management of production activities based on the use of predictive analytics tools. The article determines that lean manufacturing technologies can become a tool for overcoming the problem of financial resource scarcity. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
