EXAMINE THE EFFECT OF COVID 19 ON ORGANIZATIONS IN GHANA AND 2 (TWO) OTHER COUNTRIES .
Ghana:
Ghana is exporting goods to China and many other developed countries. China is the epicenter of the COVID19 pandemic, which right now spread into the whole world. As a result, countries with whom Ghana was well connected for their trade transport have been shut down for more than two months. It results in the economy of the country and so as the lifestyle of the community. The potential impact of COVID pandemic is observed in Ghana due to the drop of foreign direct investment, and it results in the squeeze of the domestic financial system.
India:
The pandemic situation also affects India as it drastically losses the GDP. The share market is constantly going down. Many private-sector workers are already terminated due to the lack of sales. Because of the lockdown situation, all essential manufacturing is closed, which results in a lack of the availability of industrial products. India is known for its software skills and engineer hub. Most of the IT firms are connected with the United States. As the US has severe conditions due to the pandemic, it affects India too.
The United States:
All the global companies dealing are stopped due to the pandemic situation in the United States. The country is solely dependent on China and India for the face mask and PPE kit, which is currently lacking because of this situation. All the workers are asked to perform their operations from home. The industries are shut down, which lowers the GDP of the country. The government is pushing companies to find out new ways to operate rapidly.
