Abstract
Abstract This article presents a literature review and a bibliometric analysis of academic research on COVID‐19 in strategy journals. The research topic is highly relevant considering the importance and the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on companies' strategies worldwide and the fact that this pandemic has represented at the same time danger and opportunity for companies. The study comprises a review of 241 articles published in peer‐reviewed journals from 2020 to the first quarter of 2022. Bibliometric and science mapping methods apply indicators identifying the most prominent journals, authors, countries, institutions, and topics. This approach allows a literature review highlighting the importance of five clusters on the COVID‐19 impact on strategy journals: entrepreneurship, innovation, digital transformation, leadership, and resilience. They are strongly interrelated, and this study shows there are still many areas for further research within and outside these clusters. COVID‐19 context offers perfect conditions to test theories and implement new research projects considering the high risk for other events of this type in the future.
