What Have We Learned From COVID-19 in Business and Management and What Are the Future Challenges?

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a number of business challenges that have highlighted latent business problems. In the search for solutions, academics have produced over 3,000 research articles in the field of business and management research. This research focuses on what we have learned from COVID-19 in business and management and on the future challenges for researchers. To outline the research that has been generated on the impact of COVID-19 on companies, we developed a bibliometric analysis to describe the intellectual structure of the field, identifying the main challenges for companies (Supply Chain, Consumer Behavior, SMEs, Stock Market, Tourism, ICTs, Work Stress, Cyberchondria, Education, Social Challenge, Teleworking); the ways in which scholars are developing solutions to these challenges; the main sources of knowledge in the area; and the future research challenges.
