Abstract

This article investigates the economic impact of stochastic rumor propagation on businesses in the digital age. Drawing from interdisciplinary literature, it examines decision-making under uncertainty, digital media's role in rumor spread, and strategic responses. The findings highlight the need for businesses to develop resilience and agility in navigating rumor-induced challenges.
