Analysis of the impact of covid-19 crisis for a chosen company

V diplomskem projektu smo se osredotočili na podjetništvo v času krize covid-19. Med pregledom literature smo ugotovili, da je covid-19 povzročil velik gospodarski šok, najbolj prizadeti sektorji pa so bili poslovanje, gostinstvo, turizem, promet, izobraževanje in zdravstvo. Še posebej ogrožena skupina so bila majhna in srednje velika podjetja. Izhajajoč iz navedenega smo v empiričnem delu raziskali vpliv krize covid-19 na podjetje Avto Rajh, d. o. o., ki po velikosti spada med majhna podjetja, ukvarja pa se z avtomobilsko dejavnostjo. Z direktorjem izbranega podjetja smo izvedli polstrukturirani intervju in tako prišli do zanimivih zaključkov. Rezultati so pokazali, da je kriza covid-19 prizadela podjetje in povzročila 30- odstotni upad dohodkov. Posledično je vplivala tudi na doseganje ciljev trajnostnega razvoja. Zaradi upada povpraševanja po blagu in storitvah v času epidemije covida-19 se je v podjetju zmanjšala prodaja, kljub temu pa niso imeli težav z izplačevanjem plač svojim zaposlenim in z izpolnjevanjem pogojev ter zahtev dobaviteljev. Težave je predstavljala predvsem dobava vozil in drugega materiala, kar je oteževalo poslovanje. Podjetje je sicer že pred krizo v veliki meri uporabljalo digitalno tehnologijo, med krizo pa se je uporaba le-te še nekoliko povečala. Nazadnje smo direktorja povprašali glede pomoči, ki jo je podjetje prejelo od države, in ugotovili, da bi podjetje vsekakor potrebovalo boljšo in dodatno pomoč pri soočanju s posledicami krize covid-19.The diploma project focuses on the entrepreneurship in times of Covid-19 crisis. While going through the sources we realized that Covid-19 caused a major economic shock and the most affected sectors were commerce, catering business, tourism, transport, education and health care. Especially affected groups were small and middle-sized companies. Based on this we researched in the empirical part the impact of Covid-19 crisis on the company Avto Rajh, d.o.o., which according to its size fits into small companies and deals with car business. We conducted a half-structured interview with the manager of the chosen company, which brought about some interesting conclusions. The results showed that the Covid-19 crisis affected the company and caused a 30% income decline. It also consequentially influenced the achievements of the goals of sustainable development. Due to the decrease of demand for goods and services in times of Covid -19, the sales in the company have dropped but despite that they did not have problems with paying salaries to their employees and meeting the demands and conditions of their suppliers. The problem was mostly the supply of the vehicles and other material, which obstructed their business performance. The company already used digital technology to a great extent before the crisis and increased its use during the crisis even more. The last question for the manager was about the help, given to the company by the state and we found out that the company would definitely have needed better and more help while facing the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis
