Abstract

Having set the scene above, here from a more philosophical perspective, we start the discussion with the key question of what the purpose of a business is. Why do businesses exist, what are they for? Whom do they exist for? What is their prime objective? And this philosophical question is very important to reflect upon in terms of large and small businesses, across the world and, importantly, what has the pandemic forced us to change as a business? Of course, we have seen what the crisis is about. We have seen the drivers. We have seen what the new normal is going to be. We have seen uncertainty. And so, what is it that we change in our ethos, our existence as a business? That is our second philosophical question.
