The analysis outcomes affirm the emergence of two potential scenarios that have become feasible amidst the pandemic. Imposed by various constraints, employees have been compelled to adapt and enhance their competencies and other proficiencies in remote communication, in order to make informed decisions pertaining to enterprise management and economic activities
