Article thumbnail
The global economy has been significantly impacted by the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this pivotal context, some companies have survived while others have failed. Several research have demonstrated that effective marketing strategies and brand management can help companies to survive an economic crisis by responding to changes in consumer behaviour during an economic downturn. Nevertheless, with a particular focus on the 2008 financial crisis, the current studies have not yet explicitly sorted out the marketing strategies in an economic downturn caused by COVID-19. So how can companies survive the economic crisis caused by COVID-19? This study, with Bosideng as a case study, has identified that companies should conduct comprehensive market research to respond to changes in consumer behaviour, offering superior-quality products via online channels with differential pricing strategy, and enhance brand awareness through the implementation of strategic marketing activities, which can facilitate the development of stronger customer relationships.

The Evergrande Scandal: Corporate Mismanagement, Financial Overreach, and Their Global Consequences
The Evergrande scandal is a striking example of corporate mismanagement and financial overextension, reflecting deep-rooted systemic weaknesses in corporate governance and regulatory oversight in China's real estate development industry. This paper explores the factors that underpin Evergrande's rapid growth, with a particular focus on its aggressive borrowing strategy and inability to maintain financial discipline. We examine how this unsustainable growth model, fueled by excessive debt, led to a liquidity crisis that threatens not only China's real estate market but also global financial stability. Through a comprehensive analysis of financial indicators, corporate governance practices, and the regulatory environment, this study provides insights into the broader economic impact of Evergrande's collapse. Finally, the study highlights the urgent need for a stronger regulatory framework to prevent similar crises and safeguard financial stability at home and abroad.
