run your own consultancy company and have been contacted by an agency called Fishlock
Associates. Fishlock Associates represent:
Mothercare Limited;
Thomas Cook Limited.
The fortunes of both these companies (Mothercare and Thomas Cook) have declined significantly in
recent years and now they require your help.

m key questions are asked:
What has changed in the past year? What remained the same?
What positives have we learned from the pandemic and can we apply in the future?
What new practices have we introduced and returned to the old ones?
How much have occupations and economic activities and the way they function changed during the pandemic?
Answers to previously asked questions
are in an interdisciplinary approach that as a scientific basis and explanation offers a symbiosis of sociology, psychology, communication, political
and educational sciences, economics and marketing. Combining knowledge from all these disciplines leads to a qualitative shift that leads to the creation of a broader understanding of the changes caused by the coronavirus pandemic, as
and how the overall situation will affect all spheres of human life with an emphasis on interpersonal relationships, education, communication, but also tourism as an important branch of the economy.

The impact of a pandemic on society and interpersonal relationships
The impact of the pandemic on business and the employer-employee relationship
