episode 13: The Unintended Consequences of 2020
2020 is unprecedented territory for even the most seasoned experts, and the lasting effects of COVID-19 still remain to be seen. But nearly a year into the pandemic, there are a variety of unintended consequences that have been researched, analyzed and discussed in the media.
For instance, can you imagine eating at an all-you-can buffet restaurant in the future? Will those types of restaurants exist following the pandemic?
What about handshakes? They have been a staple of American business culture for centuries. But will anyone really feel comfortable shaking hands with strangers anytime soon?
We leveraged the expertise of four Fox faculty to provide insight into how aspects of the business landscape—specifically experiential business models, the restaurant industry, real estate and social interactions—have fared, and predict what the future might hold.
