Abstract :
The objective of this research is to study the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the performance of industrial companies. We conducted a research study about the state of arts of the impact list, named “Impacted Factors (IF)” in our work, in industrial companies. Then, we contacted 30 top managers from 30 international companies in 23 countries from the five continents, and asked them to rate these IFs in their companies. Based on this survey, we identified the rank of these IFs by using Friedman’s analysis test. All calculations were performed on IBM SPSS V23. Afterwards, we listed the most impacted factors that affected industrial companies in 2021. Finally, we proposed a solution to quickly remediate the performance of industrial companies.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Covid-19 virus, International Industrial Companies, Impacted Factors
