Abstract: Abstract Times are really tough for millions across the world, and more so for poor populations in emerging countries, due to the strategic discontinuity called COVID-19. This perspective editorial urges to think differently in addressing issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting from an analogy of ‘signals from nature’, it gives a brief background about the relationship between competitiveness and sustainability. The classical method of situation-actor-process—learning-action-performance (SAP-LAP) is adapted for the context of an experimental bottom-up micro-pilot to ‘Return from COVID-19’. Glimpses of emerging findings from the pilot project in the context of academic institutions are shared. Topics for urgent and mid-term studies in the given context are listed, focusing on implications for the rebound of export activity. We will discuss ways for leaders to enhance export competitiveness despite COVID-19. This article contributes to the literature by extending SAP-LAP in an alternative micro-situation for an optimistic scenario.
