The COVID-19 pandemic has been labeled as a black swan event that caused a ripple effect on every aspect of human life. Despite the short time span of the pandemic-only four and half months so far-a rather large volume of research pertaining to COVID-19 has been published (107 articles indexed in Scopus and the Web of Science). This article presents the findings of a bibliometric study of COVID-19 literature in the business and management domain to identify current areas of research and propose a way forward. The analysis of the published literature identified four main research themes and 18 sub-themes. The findings and propositions of this study suggest that COVID-19 will be the catalyst of several long- and short-term policy changes and requires the theoretical and empirical attention of researchers. The offered propositions will act as a roadmap to potential research opportunities.
新冠疫情被视为一场黑天鹅事件，对人类生活的方方面面都产生了连锁反应。尽管这场疫情的时间跨度较短——迄今为止仅四个半月——但已经发表了大量与新冠疫情相关的研究（107篇被Scopus和科学引文索引收录的文章）。本文展示了一项针对商业与管理领域新冠疫情文献的文献计量研究结果，以确定当前的研究领域并提出未来的发展方向。对已发表文献的分析确定了四个主要研究主题和18个子主题。本研究的结果和命题表明，新冠疫情将成为多项长期和短期政策变化的催化剂，需要研究人员给予理论和实证关注。所提出的命题将为潜在的研究机会提供路线图。
