Pandemic the COVID-19 is a global threat to rural entrepreneurial businesses with an uncertain ending. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a paradigm model to reduce the negative effects of this crisis, increase the resilience of rural entrepreneurial businesses or even turn this threat into an opportunity for the development of rural entrepreneurial businesses in the long run. This study, using a qualitative approach, investigated the resilience of rural entrepreneurial businesses in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis in Kermanshah province using a paradigm model. Using purposeful and theoretical sampling, 26 cases were selected. The tools used for data collection were open questionnaires (unstructured), individual depth interviews, and taking notes. The results provide a relatively comprehensive model that consists of six basic parts: causal conditions (included economic management, health factors, human resources management, and adaptation factors), the phenomenon (included low resilience of rural entrepreneurial businesses in the face of the COVID-19 crisis), contextual conditions (including social factors; cultural factors and psychological factors), interventing conditions (included business management and legal supports), action strategies (included Planned resilient actions and Unplanned resilient actions), finally, the consequences (included adapting to crisis conditions and increasing resilience in the long run, and also lack of adaptation to crisis conditions and lack of continuity of business survival in the long run). In general, rural entrepreneurial businesses in the face of crisis must, through planned resilience measures, both increase their business resilience in the short term, as well as develop the business and gain a competitive advantage in the long run. Finally, based on the findings and in order to developing resilience in rural entrepreneurial businesses during the COVID-19 crisis, some recommendations were presented.
COVID-19 大流行是对农村创业企业的全球性威胁，其结局不确定。因此，有必要提供一个范例模型，以减少这场危机的负面影响，提高农村创业企业的弹性，甚至将这种威胁转化为农村创业企业发展的长期机遇。本研究采用定性方法，利用范例模型，调查了克尔曼沙阿省农村创业企业在应对 COVID-19 危机时的弹性。使用有目的和理论抽样，选择了 26 个案例。数据收集工具是开放式问卷（非结构化）、个人深度访谈和做笔记。结果提供了一个相对全面的模型，包括六个基本部分：原因条件（包括经济管理、健康因素、人力资源管理和适应因素）、现象（包括农村创业企业面对 COVID-19 危机的弹性低）、背景条件（包括社会因素、文化因素和心理因素）、干预条件（包括业务管理和法律支持）、行动策略（包括有计划的弹性行动和无计划的弹性行动），最后是结果（包括适应危机条件和长期提高弹性，以及不能适应危机条件和长期缺乏业务生存连续性）。总的来说，农村创业企业在面对危机时，必须通过有计划的弹性措施，不仅在短期内提高企业的弹性，而且在长期内发展企业并获得竞争优势。最后，根据研究结果，并为了在 COVID-19 危机期间提高农村创业企业的弹性，提出了一些建议。
