Intro From the University of Sydney Business School, this is Sydney Business Insights.

Sandra And this is Corona Business Insights. My name is Sandra Peter.

Kai And I'm Kai Riemer, and we will provide regular updates on how COVID-19 impacts on the future of business.

Sandra With everything that's happening, it is hard to understand what COVID-19 will mean for the business world. We collate timely, relevant and fresh perspectives on how COVID-19 might impact the economy, businesses, industries, workers and society.

Kai What will the crisis mean for economic growth? How is worker well-being impacted when work moves into the home?

Sandra What does it mean for transport and travel in the long term? Will global supply chains be redefined?

Kai Will inequality in society grow? With millions of employees taking up digital working for the first time, will work ever be the same?

Sandra Will big tech finally move to curb the spread of misinformation? We will be asking many such questions in the weeks to come.

Kai We are also asking you to send us your own research or expert opinion on how COVID-19 impacts business.

Sandra Any data sources or modelling.

Kai News articles and commentaries that we can link to synthesize. Any other resources such as videos, podcasts and the like.

Sandra And most importantly, questions we should be asking now.

Kai We will not be covering health advice or anything to do with how to manage the health crisis. We are not medical experts. Please listen to the authorities for the latest health advice.

Sandra As COVID-19 sets out to change the world forever, join us in the following weeks in thinking about what's to come.

Outro From the University of Sydney Business School, this is Sydney Business Insights, the podcast that explores the future of business.
