Re-emerging Market Disruptions

Part 1 of Three (3) Part Mini-series: Is Your Business Prepared for the Global Disruptor?
Author: Rosan Yanisce Ferrer & Charisse Ann Kho

COVID-19 is the biggest digital disruptor in this decade – the game-changer. For the past few weeks, COVID-19 has deranged the course of our everyday lives. It has made huge impacts on people’s health, their everyday routines, operational processes, but most importantly everyone’s livelihood.
COVID Drastically Affecting Every Aspect of Life Your business is not exempted. Supply chains might have tightened with your affected workforce. Demands may be hard met with your expected pace. Stocks in the market are falling. Your planned travels to other regions have been banned. Countries, including ours, are being mandated to follow mandatory home quarantines. But that shouldn’t stop you from moving on with life – COVID-19 opens the window for businesses today to rethink and adjust the way they operate. Looking back, a similar global phenomenon paved the way for digital disruption to transpire. Past Disruption, Revisited Over the years, the stock market has plummeted because of these market disruptors. A notable crash was that of 2008 when the Dow fell 777.68 points in intraday trading. This gathered fear for investors when a bank bailout bill was not approved. What this teaches us is that although the stock market crashed, and losses increased, they make up for it as soon as the situation dies down and the economy recovers. Because we are able to adapt new methods and new processes, we are able to survive and reach toward greater heights. These disruptors shift the market to a different path- adapt and survive or get left behind.
