Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly transformed global economic and managerial dynamics, leading to significant changes in corporate risk perceptions and management strategies. The uncertainties experienced during the pandemic highlighted factors such as business continuity, supply chain vulnerabilities, and financial instability, necessitating more comprehensive and flexible enterprise risk management (ERM) approaches. During this period, companies enhanced their capacities especially in occupational health and safety, while striving to integrate traditional risk management strategies with digitalization, sustainability, and crisis scenarios. This study aims to comprehensively examine the current state of the literature on enterprise risk management published after COVID-19 through a bibliometric analysis. Publications from various sectors were evaluated, with particular emphasis on the aviation industry as an illustrative example to highlight transformation processes during the pandemic. In this context, the aviation sector emerges as one of the key themes of the study, strengthening both its originality and scope. By analyzing academic publications released between 2020 and 2025, this study identifies prominent themes and publication trends for the post-pandemic period, thereby aiming to guide future research in the field of enterprise risk management.
