Under the lasting pandemic, working at home has become quite common as a "new-normal" workstyle.
Today we discuss what COVID-19 brings about to cross-border businesses and how we can work it out.
2 issues of overseas business under pandemic
There are 2 major issues that are more than likely to persist.
1. Dropping sales / deteriorating cashflow
◆The financial status of our overseas subsidiaries are rapidly getting worse
◆Experiencing difficulties in collecting the information for simulation
Consolidation and decision making at the board are no easy tasks in this situation.
2. Travel restriction
◆No manager or visitors from the headquarters at overseas subsidiaries
◆Extremely difficult to go on business trips
Remote control over the subsidiaries from the headquarters matters far more than ever.
