Abstract:Considering that the impact mechanism of COVID-19 on enterprises is not very clear, the study draws on and puts forward a four-dimensional theoretical framework of “epidemic attribute, epidemic impact, organizational characteristics and self-rescue capability” in disaster research. Using exploratory data analysis methods, a large-scale questionnaire survey was carried out on the COVID-19 that broke out in Shanghai in 2022, with the theme of “Pain Points and Difficulties of Enterprise Resumption of Work and Production”. Based on 1358 data, the production, operation and self-rescue behaviors of enterprises under the epidemic were analyzed. The injury degree and confidence after the epidemic of enterprises with different nature and within different industries were compared. And the cross-regional comparison among Yangtze River Delta, central and Northeast China were conducted. The results show that:(1)This epidemic has a very serious impact on the Yangtze River Delta, and more than 70% of enterprises had layoff plans.(2)The impact of the epidemic on enterprises has structural differences. The injury degree, self-rescue measures and post-epidemic confidence of different types of enterprises are significantly different. (3)The impact of the epidemic has obvious regional differences. Different regions subject to different institutional environments present heterogeneous vulnerability and countermeasures. Furthermore, based on the logical framework of “research design-data collection-comparative analysis-theoretical summary”, the conclusions are summarized and theoretically explained. Finally, the research puts forward suggestions from enterprise, government, industry and regional levels.
