Abstract

The global pandemic triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused marked changes in the economic landscape in essentially every branch of the economy. The pandemic has disordered lives across all countries in the world and also affected the public sector in interesting ways. Our empirical research, of which selected elements are presented in this paper, was conducted under pandemic conditions. This paper aims to identify the relationships between selected distinguishing features of the oncological interorganizational network (exchange, engagement, reciprocity) and determine their effectiveness under the conditions of the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A side thread, which concludes the article, is the introduction of the category “economic virus” into management terminology; i.e., a set of factors causing economic crises with a microbiological genesis. Of particular importance are considerations regarding the uncertainty of the length and depth of the health crisis-related economic effects in financial markets and corporate decision making.
