Öz

Organizations are struggling with severe circumstances brought by COVID-19. When overly increased uncertainty and complexity in a pandemic are considered, strategic management has gained importance. Thus, researchers have focused on strategic management from different perspectives and this situation has led to that strategic management literature considering COVID-19 incredibly enlarged. Here, this research aims to show the architecture of the current literature and examine it with a holistic and critical perspective provided by using bibliometric analysis and critical systematic review concurrently. 226 articles were determined to represent the literature in two steps: (i) WOS search based on keywords and (ii) eliminating irrelevant articles by reading. To realize research aims, a twofold research method was adopted. By leveraging bibliometric analysis, the map of the current literature was shown. Then, a critical systematic review based on content analysis of 226 articles was carried out. Herein, more/less studied fields and future research directions were shared, and methods & levels of analysis of research were shared.

Covid-19 Pandemisi Sırasında Stratejik Yönetim Literatüründe Neler Söylendi?

Öz

Örgütler COVID-19'un getirmiş olduğu zorlu şartlarla mücadele etmektedirler. Pandemide artan karmaşıklık ve belirsizlik dikkate alındığında stratejik yönetim önem kazanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda araştırmacılar stratejik yönetimi farklı açılardan ele almışlardır. Bu durum COVID-19 etrafında gelişen stratejik yönetim literatürünün farkedilir derecede genişlemesine neden olmuştur. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada, oluşan mevcut literatürün yapısını göstermek ve literatürü eleştirel ve bütüncül olarak incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Literatürü temsilen 226 makale bibliyometrik analiz ve eleştirel sistematik literatür taraması teknikleriyle incelenmiştir. Makaleler iki adımda belirlenmiştir: (i) WOS taraması ve (ii) okunarak makalelerin elenmesi. Çalışmada iki aşamalı bir yöntem takip edilmiştir. Bibliyometrik analiz vasıtasıyla literatürün yapısı gösterilmiştir. Daha sonra ise 226 makale içerik analizine dayalı olarak eleştirel sistematik literatür taraması ile incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda daha az/fazla çalışılan alanlar, gelecek araştırma önerileri, makalelerin analiz seviyeleri ve yöntemleri gösterilmiştir.
