In the process, they must use their analytical skills combined with tools derived from value-based management theory to develop a revised business strategy for the owner. CASE OVERVIEW/SYNOPSIS : Agility in any business in modern times is essential to survival – and this is particularly so for small, entrepreneurial enterprises that lack the history and resources to survive dramatic changes in the operating environment. A small restaurant in the coastal holiday village of Port Alfred, South Africa is managing to deliver a reasonable return for its owner, a former corporate financier from Johannesburg. The Covid-19 crisis requires a fundamental rethink of business strategy to ensure a future for the business. COMPLEXITY ACADEMIC LEVEL: This case study is ideal for a module in entrepreneurship for delegates in a diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate degree.en© 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.Employee commitmentEmployee motivationIntention to leaveEmployee retentionEntrepreneurshipFinancial modellingFinancial forecastingMarketingCOVID-19 pandemicCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)Case studySouth Africa (SA)Small restaurantPostprint Article
