Fostering Engagement And Learning In Students Through Assignment Modifications During Covid-19, Madhu Bala Sahoo
Southwestern Business Administration Journal

These skills are even more relevant in today’s turbulent times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During times of chaos, will these entrepreneurs pursue newly present opportunities that were not planned, or will they stick to their comfort zone? While several studies have been conducted looking at the characteristics of the …
