Abstract: The spread of Covid-19 has resulted in a “transboundary” crisis. The distinctiveness of this event calls for an investigation on how different types of organizations respond to shocks of this type and schools is a crucial element in this puzzle. This study develops a qualitative analytical framework and uses it to observe how six schools in Northeast Italy adapted organizational models and routines in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Results reveal that approaches and strategies were quite different in each institution, ranging from incremental responses to more radical ones.
