Overcoming the unprecedented: Micro, small and medium hospitality enterprises under COVID-19.

The sudden irruption of COVID-19 has paralysed, even devastated, numerous industries. Academic and industry publications also convey the destructive impacts of this phenomenon on hospitality and tourism businesses. While business owners and managers are still constrained by unpredictability, restrictions, and ongoing uncertainty, those vying to continue will need to build their adaptive skill repertoire to cope with the crisis-related regime.

COVID-19, aftermath, impacts, and hospitality firms: An international perspective.

Drawing on the theory of resilience, and on an international sample of 45 predominantly small hospitality businesses, this exploratory study extends knowledge about the key concerns, ways of coping, and the changes and adjustments undertaken by these firms' owners and managers during the COVID-19 outbreak. The various emergent relationships between the findings and the considered conceptual underpinnings of the literature on resilience, revealed nine theoretical dimensions. These dimensions critically illuminate and extend understanding concerning the actions and alternatives owners-managers resorted to when confronted with an extreme context.

Family Businesses and Adaptation: A Dynamic Capabilities Approach.

The main objective of this research was to propose a framework centred on the dynamic capabilities approach, and to be applied in the context of family businesses' adaption to their changing business environment. Data were gathered through interviews with ten FBs operating in Western Australia. Based on the findings, the clusters of activities, sensing, seizing, and transforming emerged as key factors for firms' adaptation, and were reinforced by firms' open culture, signature processes, idiosyncratic knowledge, and valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable attributes.

Villous adenoma of the extrahepatic biliary tract: a rare entity.

Patients presenting with large obstructing extrahepatic biliary tumors often are presumed to have cholangiocarcinoma and are labeled with a grim disease with a poor prognosis, given little hope for a cure, and may actually opt for palliative care only. In some instances, however, the diagnosis is that of biliary adenoma (benign until it undergoes malignant degeneration), which can be confirmed via resection and pathologic evaluation of the lesion. Removal of the tumor in its benign stage then provides curative treatment of the obstructing lesion with excellent patient recovery and overall prognosis.
