Felicia Saiah et al.

Summary: This research investigates how Doctors without Borders (MSF) employed process modularity during the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain supply chain responsiveness. The results show that process modularity, based on a modular architecture, interfaces, and standards, helped MSF skip time-consuming tasks, relieve bottlenecks, and improve resource allocation.

Working from home and firm resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic

Chunmian Ge et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of a firm's work from home (WFH) capacity on its resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. WFH enhances firms' resistance capacity by reducing the effect of COVID-19 on their operating revenue volatility and disruptions to their supply chain partners; however, it also decreases their recovery capacity by extending the time taken to return to normal. Firm attributes and worker characteristics play a role in the effect of WFH on firm resilience.

Customer concentration and M&A performance

Yizhe Dong et al.

Summary: This study reveals that acquiring a customer-concentrated firm can significantly lower stock market returns and long-term operating performance. This effect is more pronounced when customers face lower switching costs or when the target undertakes higher levels of relationship-specific investments. Corporate customers drive the negative association, while relatively safe government customers can moderate the effect. Shared major customers, overconfident CEOs, and poor corporate governance are more likely to result in customer-concentrated acquisitions.

Woon Sau Leung et al.

Summary: The study reveals a negative and statistically significant relationship between economic policy uncertainty and firms' customer-base concentration.
