ABSTRACT: Notwithstanding various media reports on casualties in systems due to the
emergence of COVID-19, it is envisaged to have a solution. By far, this study
investigates how countries’ bilateral trade relationship is distorted due to COVID-19. More so, it examines the
economic and financial divergence in systems from the capital perspectives.
Finally, it considers the changes in various industries that are affected
directly as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and its distortion in the
business model. Employing a case study approach, we conclude that there is a
distortion in the supply chain system which has effects on trade relationships.
While significant capital deploying strategies were found as mitigation during
the pandemics, there is an indecisive business model for the future with
inordinate changes in business models during the periods of COVID-19. There is
also a risk exposure in both economic decisions and business models due to the
uncertain signals of COVID-19. We discuss our findings within the theoretical
framework of capital allocation, information/signaling, and adoption
perspectives.
