“…Other authors have also looked for possible solutions to the relationship between decision making and planning on one side and risk management on the other (Watson and Mullen 2020;Nikolopoulos et al 2021;Wang and Wu 2020). Some authors have explored solutions relying on strategic innovation and critical thinking, introducing new concepts and management systems into the corporate environment (Yigitcanlar et al 2021;Klauser and Pauschinger 2022). Various authors agree that the onslaught of COVID-19 provides both challenges and opportunities for practice.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the business environment in many sectors. This study analyzes how the pandemic and the resulting global economic crisis have influenced changes in management. The aim was to explore changes in the dominance of management functions through the lens of economic managers in various companies. A case study approach was adopted to achieve the research objective. The sample file consisted of 238 managers from various operational fields in the Slovak Republic. A new methodology was created to measure the overall changes. An indicator of the rate of change in the dominance of the management functions was calculated. The index consists of two factors: changes in the time devoted to each management function during the pandemic, and changes in the importance of basic activities performed within the individual management function. This study provides an overview of all industries and describes the changes in the context of a company’s revenue development during the pandemic. It was discovered that the centralization of strategic decision making was significantly underestimated. Up to 78.69% of managers working in companies whose revenues decreased during the pandemic increased the time devoted to planning, and 90.98% of them decreased the time devoted to leading people.

“…Fraundorfer and Winn ( 2021 ), for example, discuss how nation‐states retained and underlined their sovereignty, and how this played a key role in the fragmented, and sometimes an ineffective response to COVID‐19 globally. Klauser and Pauschinger ( 2022 ) claim that pandemic responses were primarily shaped by the search for the right balance between openness and closure, mobility, and public safety. The authors suggest that surveillance initially emerged in the pandemic as a means to step up border control.…”

Iconic events have traditionally instigated progression in the fields of crisis and disaster science. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressing question is how this global health emergency impacted the research agendas of our field. We reviewed contributions in ten important crisis and disaster journals in the two and a half years following the COVID-19 outbreak from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2022. Specifically, we conducted a bibliometric review using thematic mapping analysis to distill the major themes covered by the emerging COVID-19 literature within crisis and disaster science (N = 239 articles). Our results indicate that several well-known topics are applied to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as risk, crisis communication, governance, resilience and vulnerability. The pandemic also gave rise to new topics, such as citizen behavior, state power, and the business and mental health impact of crisis measures. Several studies are already looking ahead by identifying lessons for preparedness and mitigation of future pandemics. By taking stock of the surge of COVID-19 studies while this academic literature is still taking shape, this review sets the stage for future contributions to the crisis and disaster literatures. It provides valuable lessons for what topics are studied and what themes need more attention. The COVID-19 pandemic is destined to become an iconic event for our literature that not only strengthens and deepens existing debates, but
