Abstract
Globalization and increasing competition have enforced businesses to develop ways to avoid disruptions and continuing business operations in all situations. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the world is far above expectations, for which the existing business continuity plans with the organizations around the world are lagging behind. This study has tried to find a link between COVID-19 and existing business continuity management systems available with the organizations in Pakistan, being a developing country. Moreover, relationships among employee satisfaction, BCP and health provisions in BCM have also been identified through the combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Hence, this study is a Contribution to Mixed Methods Research.
Key Words: COVID-19, Business Continuity, Employee Satisfaction, Employee Training, Pakistan and Mixed Methods in Research.
