abstract = {The health crisis caused by COVID-19 has led to changes in the behaviour of businesses
during lockdown, especially Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study aims to identify
the capacity for reaction, resilience, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) from direct sources and
from strategic communication categories. Firstly, to discover the communication mechanisms and
strategies of innovative SMEs during lockdown in Spain for overcoming difficulties. And secondly,
to confirm “Food and Drink”—sector SME resilience capacities through their communications, and
the CSR capacity of the SMEs that supports the sustainability to the tourism sector. For this purpose,
a qualitative analysis of the 2.0 messages communicated by the companies was carried out and a
map generated from social network analysis to identify the most resilient SMEs based on strategic
communication elements used. The results show an uneven business reaction that reflects the change
of paradigm in communication with customers that is occurring heterogeneously. This study is
original because few on this theme apply to SMEs in the Spanish context. We highlight they are all
from the “Food and drink” sector and included in the list of enterprises with high growth rate through
entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, allowing us to make certain comparisons and understand
certain differences and respective resilience, including supply chains and CSR.},
