In addition to the previous research connected with the issues of corporate strategy and innovation, the present study has come up with the original hypotheses providing refutations and a new vision to the problem. The research findings present an extension to the understanding of corporate strategy and innovation during the post-crisis period, hence leading to the emergence of the up-to-date instruments able to solve the issues of the real economy after the COVID-19 crisis.

The respondent profile’s questions were: year of establishment of the firm (Q1), form of ownership (Q2), respondent’s position at the enterprise (Q3), sector in which…en
