Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a huge number of firms had to stop their activities due to the lockdown situation that has been decided in most countries. However, to contribute to the many emergencies caused by the pandemic through purpose-led actions, many of those firms have reacted with innovative projects and changes in their manufacturing activities. Drawing on the literature about the purpose and R&D and innovation management concerning health emergency, we develop a conceptual framework to understand how different types of purpose-led actions (i.e., short term and/or long term) and different R&D management strategies (i.e., exploitation or exploration of R&D, innovation, and manufacturing competencies) can characterize firms’ rapid response for the benefit of the community in the fight against COVID-19, for example through the provision of medical equipment or other products and services.
