Effects of a Corona-related plant closure – a case study

­Many ­companies are ­currently ­affected by ­a shutdown ­due to the COVID 19 pandemic. ­This has far-reaching ­consequences for the ­success, ­liquidity ­and ­balance sheet of the ­affected ­companies. The ­situation is ­particularly ­dramatic for ­companies in ­difficulty (UiS).

In ­their case study, ­which ­was ­recently ­published­ in KSI 04/2020­, ­our ­colleagues Dr. Jan Handzlik ­and Dr. Bernhard ­Becker, ­together with Prof. Dr. ­Müller from Helmut Schmidt University ­in ­Hamburg­,­ specifically ­address ­this ­problem. ­Using ­concrete ­calculation examples, the ­effects of ­a shutdown ­are ­presented, ­taking into account ­existing ­government ­support measures­, and ­recommendations for action ­are ­derived from ­them.
